terrorist groups like al qaida now he says but then george bush thanked them by declaring them as part of this axis of evil even though at the time iran thought they were going to get a better diplomatic deal after helping us. after nine eleven and by by the way the supreme leader of iran right after nine eleven condemned the nine eleven attacks in many ways iran is a natural friend of the united states in the war against terror and yet we have shunned them time and again and instead opted to be friends with countries like saudi arabia which in fact support al qaida and isis and that is not leads me to add to my second question is that you know over the last two decades since nine eleven we have the publicly available intelligence absolutely reveals many more ties between anti-u.s. terrorist groups you anti-u.s. terrorist groups and saudi arabia not iran yet one of the one is considered to be among america's top out america's top allies the other is treated like a mortal enemy and in that same way it's it feels a lot like when it was saddam made nine eleven happen and somehow now we're

believe still held by terrorists yes even the rebel groups there say hey i need a sham formally al qaida linked front is present a few hundred of them but they're ready to leave but what is clear is that the government wants all rebels to leave including. people who are from eastern they don't want to leave with their families but clearly the government is going to push ahead with this bombing campaign that has one objective and that is to recapture. right let's hear from a resident of east and. now with. the. agreement about that. not. even fair for anyone to go my parents let me but you. better. be. here. they don't come out from the basement for a week they have to get some food for their family somewhere. and tell now they cannot go out. when you have when you're hearing about people that from. the people they have to go to get some food for their. children although the food is. right because of. that. the u.n. secretary general uses a fitting address at the human rights council to call for an immediate cease fire to be implemented in. the high level discussions are being held in gen

we've also heard from the white helmets which is a long discredited group that has ties to al qaida they've been making allegations it's been quite a heated heated rhetoric in the international arena regarding the situation in eastern guta but the vote did go down and the parties now agree on a resolution a resolution was passed for a thirty day ceasefire now after the unanimous vote took place we heard from nikki haley the representative of the united states and when she was speaking she said that she did not expect that the syrian government would recognize and honor the ceasefire this is nikki haley. it is critical that the assad regime and its allies comply with our demand to stop the assault on eastern guta and immediately allow food and medicine to reach everyone who need to all of us on this council must do our part to press the assad regime as hard as we can to comply we are deeply skeptical that the regime will comply but we supported this resolution because we must demand nothing less. now we also heard from the representative of the russian federation in his remarks he stressed t

that the syrian government can continue the fight against al qaida and isis in east and i think that was the reason that it did pass unanimously with the support of russia and the encouragement of the syrian government one good thing in the resolution is that it was superbly affirms the fact that the territorial integrity of syria needs to be preserved of course this is very relevant because right now the united states has illegally set up their bases and is occupying territory in eastern syria we've got turkish soldiers in in northern syria so this is this is a very important to keep reaffirming the principle of territorial integrity you know just enough final point despite the cease fire resolution which encompasses the entire country turkey sais it's not going to hold its military offensive in northern syria claiming the decision does not apply to it and crowds being carrying out an operation against kurdish m t eisel militia fighters there which it to use us terrorist and its push to dislodge the kurdish people's protection units from the border area the turkish military struck a
