what was the role of special operations in the balkans in the u.s. and nato involvement there? thank you. >> yes, a great question. we are called upon to work with communities in the balkans trying to maintain the peace and they could also use some of the targeted raids and there weren't killings going on at the time. a big point they took away from the balkans experience was to help them develop their ability to work with local communities. something seen as a strength of special operations they seem to get away from an iraq when there were so much focus on the precision strike that this has been something when you get back to your stability operations program in 2010 a lot of that experience in the balkans is something that helps them develop their skills to go into an unfamiliar environment to understand the population how to identify some of the four roland informal leaders and to work with us. >> i am greg formerly of usaid five years iraq, congo etc.. looking forward and thinking about the challenges that we will face particularly in the war on terror, how do you view the

the balkans have been reading with this. watching whether they are on the ground, whether they give interviews, whether they actually seem out of touch. but on this morning was incredible. i can crash ofan morning was incredible. i can crash of an interview. the way that the council leader resigned last week was almost grudgingly resigning and blaming the media. of course, the anger was palpable in the first five days. the point is that, can we really wait next week for the election of another council leader? is that the normal modus operandi? don't believe in being overreactive, but i think that really, couldn't that have been moved along? i think it is worrying when we hear that at least one or two people have been charged rent for flats that have burnt down. of course, this is a huge task, for any council, and i think there is good well, but there are lessons that need to be learnt for the future. and i'm not even going to mention the whole cladding scandal. 0ne going to mention the whole cladding scandal. one thing i wan

wednesday to take part in a gathering of leaders from central europe, the baltic states, and the balkans to boost regional trade. now the president wants to promote u.s. natural gas exports there, but this is making european leaders a bit nervous. they see president trump as supporting the right wing nationalist government in poland with their disputes with the e.u. when he arrives in hamburg for the g2 meeting, he could be headed for a collision course with european leaders. german chancellor angela merkel has predicted difficult talks with president trump over climate change and trade when the leaders meet. since his last visit to europe, the president has pulled out of the paris climate agreement, repeatedly criticized germany over its trade surplus. then, of course, there's the meeting with president putin. both sides are playing down expectations. national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said there's no agenda, just what the president wants to talk about. obviously everybody wants to know whether the president will bring up russia's meddling in the u.s. election, warn him not to do i

height of the refugee crisis, when tens of thousands of refugees were moving northward across the balkanoots of austria, those same armored personnel carriers have been used at a different border crossing. this is not an aggressive posture by austria's military. at the same time, he is also at pains to underscore that this does involve the military and, if the need arises, if the flow of refugees is not stand, then -- not stemmed, then the military could be involved in conducting border checks. that is presumably what has annoyed italy, which says it is contrary to the spirit of freedom of movement within the european union. as i say, it appears as though the defense minister, who is considered to be among the hardliners of the social democrats, is possibly -- has one eye on the upcoming election and may want to win back some voters from the far right who will no doubt be pleased at this firm stance on the possible use of the military. venezuela, the chief prosecutor is expected to be fired. becomeime has increasingly authoritarian and has used excessive violence. reporter: standing her

thriving, berlin is united, greece and turkey are vital nato allies working to promote peace in the balkans. israel, japan, south korea are among our strong democratic partners. international organizations like nato, the international monetary fund are essential components of the architecture of peace and prosperity. these are not accidents of history. they reflect the vision of the leader we celebrate here today. harry truman knew a president's ability to persuade others in the world is greatly enhanced when commanding the world's strongest military. when we restored hope in haiti, the navy was there to make it happen. when we needed quick text and in the persian gulf last winter, the navy was there to put steel behind our diplomacy. and on this day our persuasiveness has been enhanced considerably. this carrier occupies four and a half acres, stands 20 stories tall, home to 6000 personnel , about the population of harry truman's hometown. from aviators in the ready rooms to the engineers in their spaces, to catapult officer who can launch four aircraft in a minute, to the cooks that prepa

the balkan route has closed, and the eu arrangement between turkey and greece, that route has been closedgrants are going to move, whatever you do. if you close one illegal route, they will pursue another illegal route. that is the point, that it is illegal. it is perilous and unsafe, thousands of people are dying. they are drowning, because it is illegal. the best way to tackle this is to make it legal. to open up a legal route. the other way is to share responsibility and shared the dispersal. that is the thing, there seems to be a big clash between southern europe and northern europe. clearly, southern european countries are taking more of their share, notjust in terms of numbers but the financial implications of that. and other european countries arejust turning away, and if the eu is supposed to be a collective there is not a collective approach to migration and that is the crisis. not the actual problem. the political element... it is an explosive issue, in germany and austria, which also has elections this year. austria has threatened if any more migrants come to italy and try and

hungary has already blocked the balkan route into europe. it wants economic migrants transported out of the continent. and it's calling for what it calls the line of defence to be pushed all the way to libya and from there, towards libya's southern border. david campanale, bbc news. we can now speak to stefano argenziano — he's the manager of migration operations for the medical humanitarian organisation medecins sans frontieres — which helps migrants in the mediterranean. hejoins us from rome. welcome. how do you respond to what the italian government says, this charities and aid groups rescuing people from the sea are part of the problem? bet you encourage people to make the journey? thank you very much for having me and good evening. —— that you encourage people. much for having me and good evening. -- that you encourage people. we are not part of the problem. we are not either the solution. we represent an absolute necessity for saving lives where those lives are most in danger. we fundamentally reject the allegations and accusations whi

in europe on monday and tuesday violent thunderstorms broke out across the balkans, particularly in bulgariaulgaria and romania, with some hailstones of a few centimetres. they caused damage. this high pressure has introduced cooler air and that heatwave moves away from the south east corner of europe and the south east corner of europe and the eastern mediterranean. temperatures returning to normal values for this time of year. looking at continental europe it looks fine and dry and that is because high pressure is keeping things fine and settled. a few showers in scandinavia and in the baltic states. very pleasant conditions if you are going to the mediterranean. each weather across the greek islands and into the eastern mediterranean. pretty much what we should be looking at for this time of year. glorious conditions in italy and sicily and sardinia and in the balearic islands. the coasts of spain are doing very well, temperatures around 29, maybe even hotter in a few places. fine and settled conditions for the canary places. fine and settled conditions for the ca nary islands. places. fi

forces time and time again we hear about war crimes abroad breaking of international law be it the balkans be it libya be it iraq be it syria right now international law is broken it's like impunity and nobody cares but let's not dwell in the past let's stick to what's happening here let's stick to mosul we remember most old back in the day it was a city of two point five million people one point five million under isis isis had six thousand fighters there back in october nine months later the asli they got their butts kicked but the fact of the matter is it took a whole lot of civilian casualties to get there as you know the media was practically banned from mosul so we will never really know the real story of what happened there but pictures you know that you say they they speak a thousand words and if you think there's one point five million people minus seven hundred thousand displaced in an area like this then it is very disturbing because you know there's a lot of people who have died but let's go to break down to what amnesty international said and here's a quote from them then you

some isolated showers and thunderstorms to france into northern italy and across the balkans, much ofcooler further or thereabouts to take you into the weekend. coolerfurther north but or thereabouts to take you into the weekend. cooler further north but at least in parts of the uk things will warm a touch by the weekend. more details in half an hour. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. donald trump junior has defended his meeting with a russian lawyer last year — who he believed had incriminating evidence about hillary clinton. again, this is before russia mania, before they built it up in the press. for me, it was opposition research. in an interview with the bbc — president erdogan of turkey has denied claims that his country has jailed over 150 journalists. translation: those people inside jailare translation: those people inside jail are not titled as journalists. some of them corroborated with terror organisations. our china editor has been looking at the chinese companies are pouring workers into new countries — leaving locals wondering what the benefits are for them

before the financial crisis, there was a balkanized regulator.china has taken to bring these things together in a coordinated way. rishaad: what can we expect out of this conference, this financial were conference this weekend? >> this is the once in five years event meant to tackle the big questions in financial oversight on a regular basis. one of the last ones in 2012, 1 of the objectives was continuing yuan internationalization, so it set long-term objectives, and that's probably what we can expect going for this weekend. rhetoricw we expecting about some of these reform given thatr is it this is the 19th party congress year, which is about staying stable for the large part? all about stability. if you look at what happened last month, the banking regulator reached out to banks that were exposed to some of the very active companies in m&a abroad and ask them how much they are exposed. that is basically good regulation in one sense, so the chinese government do seem to be serious about leverage. the deleveraging process continue. haidi: thank

denying war crimes and of course we know they've broken international law time and time again be at the balkans be it libya be it iraq be it syria it's a mess it's a mess always but you know it's the western coalition so hey we're the good guys right well when it comes to mosul amnesty international say no way sir there's been some war crimes committed here and let's get a quote directly from them iraqi government and u.s. led coalition forces appear to have committed repeat violations of international humanitarian law some of which may amount to war crimes and that's amnesty international out of the horse's mouth but if you talk to the coalition listen to what a british british major has to say it strikes me as being written that's the amnesty report by people who simply have no understanding of the brutality of warfare but we should be absolutely clear we were deliberately we were clear who were deliberately killing civilians that would be isis according to him but wow you know aleppo very different story if it's the syrians the russians trying to get rid of terrorists including isis but when

world war i had its spark in the balkans. there is still a lot of emotional baggage. this is the only outpost russia has left in europe of places friendly toward it, serbia in particular. montenegro has split off from serbia in recent years as the former yugoslavia increasingly shrank and now does not exist in that form anymore. montenegro is a small country. it is not a military powerhouse. it will not be in military battleground between russia and nato. i think its admission into nato is a mistake. antagonized the u.s.-russia relationship with no strategic benefit. host: what about its location on the water? guest: the mediterranean is a place we have completed with russia before. not in warships are montenegro. they have limited access elsewhere. the russian navy is not a threat. even if it were, montenegro is a tiny piece in the equation. if we are bringing it into nato wekeep russian warships out, are getting paranoid about how to keep the balance. this is a beautiful country, limited population, very weak economy. i think bringing it in was a reflection of the o

foreign fighters from western europe, the balkans, and russia will return home from syria having perhaps become more radicalized in their quest for glory. some may return home disheartened, giving ourauthorities an easier opportunity to learn more about the attraction. we've got to figure out the difference so we can make sure it's to our advantage. one key aspect of preventing radicalization in the first place, which is something we should look at, also, is understanding the drivers that push a young man or woman into such radical territory. thankfully, we have best practice examples that show us there is no one size fits all solution. and that the problem is evolving. italy a country with thousands of refugees and immigrants is able to accept them in ahumane manner, discern the proper status for the people and move the process along. the process is by no means perfect. yet, with the help of international humanitarian organizations are absolutely essential. and the american story can be of use here. i believe that despite our bumps and bruises, we can help european nations in integratin

so, given what hey have learned with sectarian violence in iraq and the balkans and other places it's never so simple as loyalists and rebels. so ambrose said that politics is a strife of interest masquerading at prisons the conduct of public affairs to approve advantage and war is a continuation of politics by other means. so i'm kind 0 curious wrote you see the players are at that time frame who are using this to gain advantage and using the war and instigating the war for public advantage -- excuse me -- private advantage, private interests, and how do the immigrants at that time -- because you have this whole melting pot. how do they come into this and how is this sectarian as far as on a more complex level as far as immigrants from other areas because they may not have the same status. >> two very big questions. i will try brief answers. i'm not sure that individuals instigate the war at the very beginning for private -- 'otoe pursue private objectives but you're absolutely right. once the conflict is underway, at a local community to community you will find individuals who will

it seems like every time a new agenda it looks like the balkans, they are talking about free market andoney. the democrats are talking about these things affecting people. i think at this point the democrats/republicans are getting a little tired. each person that runs for congress or the president, they should run on their own merits and what they believe in, not part of a party or things like that because people are getting really brainwashed about what is important just because someone said they are republican or democrat. people don't know who their commerce people are and what they really stand for other than a democrat or republican. we're getting too far away from that and not looking at the actual person. when you first section guys talked about the republicans and how many people talking in talking about donald trump is an honest man. withdy qs what is happened a straight face and say this guy is an honest man, i think they have some soul-searching to do. host: maryland, good morning. caller: yes, i believe this party needs to have unity. that should be it's number one focus. t
