we've had dozens of sanctions against the assad regime.we sat international condemnation, certainly not at the u.n. security council because of russia but the public condemnation. lots of speeches, we had limited no trade stocks by in our key allies, none of this has worked. none of it has been effective. i would posit to you, and i we going to bring assad and his henchmen to justice? is this an indication that sanctions are a useless tool in actually deterring and punishing wmd violations and even limited military strikes of the very limited nature that were leveled by president trump seem to have had no effect. what do you say to that? >> i'm surprised to say that i feel like there is, there are some positive elements to be drawn out of syria with what is happening in syria, both from a nonproliferation point of view and from, more broadly. at first i would say it has, the process to the opcw and united nations has been slow but there have been some success. i mean, there was a declaration of its chemical weapons stockpile. that declared

third, it puts the future of assad's government at risk. fourth, moscow does not have the a long-termtain operation against israel and the united states in the middle east and doesn't want to do so. it would much rather be exploiting conflicts rather than having to stand on the sidelines or be dragged into somebody else's conflict, and the exploitation of conflicts or of fishers or regional cleavages is the essence of russian foreign policy in many areas of the world and is part of a deliberate strategy to create regional bipolarity forcing the united states to treat russia as an equal in order to create global multipolarity where russia is an equal to the united states. we have to understand that russia is not playing a strictly regional game. it is playing a global game. it sees itself as a global superpower. it is using the middle east, as i will show, in order to leverage other kinds of presence of forced the west, not just the united states, to accept it on its own terms. with regard to iran and israel, moscow fully understands that is

the assad regime well the united states and its allies enable jihadists in syria to try to overthrow the assad regime regime and russia intervened in order to stop them from winning and we know that from john kerry a week conversation with syrian exiles in new york and twenty fifteen and i'm paraphrasing him but he said russia into the war in syria to stop the isis from taking over in damascus i mean the americans know this and we heard it on that leaked tape. that's the reason russia entered assad for whatever you want to say about him he's not a great democrat but he never threatened the west never even threatened israel but the jihad as have bombed many european countries right now so russia has intervened to help west and help america actually and the said to be him blamed the idea of adventurism russian adventurism that being the examples absurd when you look at the american invasion of iraq just that on its own that two thousand and three invasion without u.n. authorization an absolute disaster which helped lead to the creation of isis that is the definition of adventurism this

ambassador at large for war crimes issues is suing the assad regime. in syria as if this were just he's trying to bring public attention to the victims in the seas are photographs in exhibitions around the world and i want to thank you for being here tonight to bearing witness to these crimes. and stating your solidarity with these very. rapid is frustrated by the failure of the un to act on the overwhelming evidence of the syrian regime's crimes. we're talking about the security services firm that state security without military security without the air force intelligence within the chain of command official forces this is silly this is the clearest case that i've ever seen this is abundant evidence that we've got more so much more that maybe. it's embarrassing going away at the check clears and so we've got no court to take it but there is one route to justice and rap is pursuing it hundreds of syrian families have identified their loved ones from the season photographs if just one of the thousands of victims was found to be a european national or on

syria bashar assad's use of nerve agents against his own people in east which is a turkey that was in two thousand and thirteen the obvious was a very real from his point a reactionary force there was very hostile to his his presidency and of course it was constant conflict conflict it was. one of the gangs and isis later it was a stronghold as we all know now it's bob and bob the smithereens war is awful we americans should maybe be a little more tolerant made to hatred for bashar he had a war and was an awful war and you fought awfully but so do we everybody does that's the horrible thing about wars and they're not good when it was government funding the white helmets right now that say it's one sided here it's the only can we trust you there's no question there's a look there i'm sure there are some people in the white home with that were very actually doing what you know trying to save lives but the it's pretty clear now that they're basically the major funding also i think america was indirectly supplying some money certainly the brits were and so certainly it was a hedge it was

assad. i think the same is true for russia. neither iran nor russia wanted to accept. the notion of regime change that people in the middle east could write don't rise up and get rid of their leader we know russia has a real allergic reaction to that and iran in turn. in september two thousand and fifteen russia began large scale intervention on the iranian side to defend bashar assad. but meanwhile another protagonist appeared in the middle eastern theater. on june the twelfth two thousand and fourteen islamic state forces took control of iraq's second city mosul a few days later in syria fell into jihad is times and became the capital of the self-styled islamic caliphate. protests around the advances made by as an extremist sunni terrorist movement that sees the shia as one of its principal enemies radically change the stakes while continuing to defend the damascus regime the islamic republic is now fighting for its survival as much in syria as in iraq. but i don't want to steal all of thi

a few examples including the occupation of crimea subverting western democracy its neighboring the assad regime just to name a few now in the statement to the treasury department also reiterated how well they're saying that they go away saying quote the treasury's russia sanctions program is among our most effective and impactful since january twenty seventh team this administration has sanctioned two hundred seventeen russian related individuals and entities for a broad range of activities check out what else was the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of financial pressure on those supporting the kremlin's malign agenda and on the sectors of the russian economy though russia's malign activities continue its adventurism undoubtedly has been checked by the knowledge that we can bring even more economic pain to bear using our powerful range of authorities and that we will not hesitate to do so if its conduct does not demonstrably and significantly change now while these sanctions are fair a. t

anyway and by the way i'm always taken his apologist for bashar assad only doing is telling the truth i'm telling facts period. people who fight wars all fight with same way he's he doesn't do anything differently than we do the hell out of people how can the united states use the nuclear bomb and hiroshima did daylight bombing of major cities in germany one thousand forty four cities you know the sent the famous bombings that everyone dreads that just fire storms we just say somebody's house this is war criminal for fighting the war the saves in a war or war and by all accounts the casualties are almost the same of both sides if this is an apology that's just that's just people not wanting to believe not wanting to believe their prefer their they're just like letting their personal dislike overcome the reality the point is that it was analyzed important the brits had it and only which is a laboratory we in america respect for the skilled in chemical weapons it was delivered the count was good liver to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff its name is norman dempsey dempsey takes

assad. i think the same is true for russia. neither iran nor russia wanted to accept the notion of regime change that people in the middle east could ride out rise up and get rid of their leader you know putin in russia as a real allergic reaction to that and iran into. in september two thousand and fifteen russian began large scale intervention on the iranian scientists to defend bashar assad. but meanwhile another protectionist appeared in the middle in iraq. that is how it would steal all of the she is your friend ship with iraq is precious to us. naturally iraq's security is also ours and vice a versa well. the same is true for syria. the syrians don't overcome the jihadists at home they will enter iraq and then our country. and spread throughout the region all the. job we get. that is why the security of the muslim world and that of iran depends on the security of syria john is. that the. so to defend its borders iran openly send soldiers from its could force an elite unit of the republ

i mean that is the message to president assad, we acknowledge you are here to stay.dmit i have taken the view all way through this appalling civil war which has been going on since 2011, the poor people have been in a state of chaos, for seven year, and millions of refugees of course in countries next door to syria, but i took the view rightly 01’ syria, but i took the view rightly or wrongly assad was probably the least worst option for this country. despite what he has done. despite what he has done, because the rebel groups were so utterly disorganised. some, little more than terrorists or little less than terrorists and the idea for the british government to get involved with the various of the rebel groups i thought was a mistake in the first place. i remember when cameron wanted to send british troops to help what he called the rebel, he referred to them as moderates but they weren't. he tried to differentiate? how can you differentiate in a situation like this? i thought that was a mistake andi this? i thought that was a mistake and i think in a way for britai

finger on the bottom of the fifty or tomahawk missiles which rained down on one of the assad air force installations so i think we may well be seeing a repetition of what's different what's slightly different is that prominence as you alluded to just is hugely important to the assad regime which is more or less nailed all these are enclaves in the south of the country and now we have left now is italy which is a concentration of extremist fighters something like about seventy thousand fighters over half of which are hitched yes as you said just briefly before then and also turkish backed so-called rebels if you like in that province you've got something like about three million people half of which are refugees and it's looking like it won't be quite as simple as an amiable agreement between both sides not only on the ground but also the superpowers so we're looking at something of i would say quite a scrap the next few days or few weeks given that assad's forces are perched on the western flank of the region in a small town which is what i should look. at as a few days ago the u.s. na

of course there are millions who are still too afraid to go back for many it is indeed the dread of assad stopping them but those who did and are returning may very well inspire hundreds of thousands more to go back to their roots a marquee from human rights watch told us that the people returning home need additional assistance. it's difficult to keep track of all the numbers of people that are going back but we do know that some individuals have returned to government territory and the territory that has been held now by democratic forces the u.s. forces does include displaced from other parts of the country as well as. the rich areas so some syrians are electing to return home i know those continue to remain in neighboring countries and other countries for fear that they would be caught up in the conflict or. persecution by the syrian government there is a constructive role that the russian government and other governments. and ensure that conditions so that more syrians have confidence in return even. twenty. jews have been arrested after clashing with israeli police at a rally agains
