now we're seeing the balkanization of iraq it's not one united country anymore the balkanization of libya and now the balkanization of syria the breaking up into smaller pieces for the benefit of the outside powers. now it comes as no surprise russia has already reacted with their ambassador to the u.s. saying that there will be consequences to this what actions do you think russia might take in response to the strikes that we saw. well it's of course impossible for us to say what actions they would take but we have to say that the actions taken by the us britain and france constitute war crimes by definition they are war crimes that syria did not threaten the united states or britain or france nor could it and so a war of aggression is called technically a crime against peace an aggressive war is that is considered the highest form of war crime where the worst type of war crime and you know the assyrians have a right to resist that the russian forces are in the country at the invitation of the duly constituted government of syria and you know the idea that they can just be attacked

how important it isn't just about albania and its membership it's about regional security in the balkans how important is it briefly place i would say briefly one sentence exactly for the reasons that the euro sceptics or the entire european forces and the rules are are preaching that they don't europe does not need to see beyond its own borders of today europe needs the balkans for the safety and security first and foremost a more secure and safe for europe is connected will balkans more and more becoming part of its otherwise it's far less safe and far less secure albanian prime minister in a rama thank you so much for being dense rain and good luck with all your meetings raise your berlin. or here in germany an underground neo nazi terrorist cell roams germany killing nine immigrants and one policewoman it takes authorities thirteen years to the date of the very first shooting to link all of these killings and the resulting court proceedings take another five years and may only now finally becoming two now and welcome to the end as you try one minute to say lawyers were about to chang

programs to help our allies on russia's periphery and particularly in ukraine and the western balkans and other european nations that are vulnerable to russia's influence. can you talk a little bit about what we're doing in some of those countries. >> thank you, senator. and -- and they are closely linked, in my opinion. i'm often asked about the best way to push back on kremlin influence, and my answer is success on its borders so helping ukraine and the balkans to continue to succeed, ukraine and its plans to fully integrate in the euro-atlantic alliance. in the ukraine we're helping to do capacity building and governance. i had a chance to meet with the head of ukraine's national bank last week as part of the world bank meetings, and we're helping to strengthen their capacity, increase transparency and accountability. we think that that's obviously very important. the key thing in the balkans and in the ukraine is strengthening their capacity and their tools in the fight against corruption. in my opinion, as much support as we all have for that part of the world, for ukraine and th

in my opinion, as much support as we all have for ukraine in the balkans, the window is narrow. they need to take on corruption. we will help them with tools and capacity building, but they need to make tough choices and they need strong leadership that is willing to be accountable and trends. to their people. as strong as the exuberant protesters were in the euro by don for change, if these countries don't take on corruption, they will see a similar exuberant and protest antigovernment. so it is in their interest and certainly as friends and supporters of the democratic balkans in ukraine, it is in our interest to help them in that journey. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. chairman. good to see you again. let me talk for a couple things we need to deal with pretty appreciate what you're doing to deal to take some of these in the last appropriations bill included language in the northern triangle. honduras, guatemala, sending three, five coming tenure benchmarks for success. the focus was we don't just spend money and say look. we don't just say here at the

and we saw that in the balkans, in bosnia and in kosovo, throughout the 1990s. (ominous music) - [yelchenko] when the kosovo crisis was on the agenda, russia step by step started to come back to their own understanding of the place which russia should have in the world. - it was rocky, frankly, because one of the reasons that we went to nato was it was very clear that the russians were going to veto any mandate that was coming through the security council. - [williams] there was a lot of concern and aggravation in the kremlin over what they saw as revisionist behavior by nato intervening in russia's backyard. using the idea of crimes against humanity as a pretext to redraw the map of the world in this region to the detriment of russian allies. (suspenseful music) - [narrator] at home the appeal of democracy was wearing thin for many russians who witnessed a rise in organized crime, poverty, food shortages, homelessness, and corruption. - [lynch] something close to hyper-inflation hit the russian economy. the result being an increase in seventy-something-odd time

in parts of kosovo in the heart of the balkans time seems to have stood still women here have practically little or no rights domestic violence is rampant and the justice system repeatedly turns a blind eye many women despite being victims themselves end up paying the price. and the man has been locked up in prishtina as women's prison for nine years now for killing her husband we can't reveal have real name the marriage lasted just a year but it was torture as her husband ran can be terror pita and even broke her . had about what i should also when i went to the police so often once i even took the pistol my husband said he'd bought to kill me if i felt threatened the police did nothing so i don't remember their names but i do remember their faces when you only one told me if you were my wife you wouldn't have had the chance to come here or because i'd have killed you with this pistol if a policeman says that to you you can't do anything else you lose your will to live and don't believe in anything anymore the whole laden but. she left her husband but he continued to threaten her she was

, i work in the balkan state with my institute, and you can see for example there it was 20 years agohip in serbia was removed, that kosovo was liberated. but even today, there are still huge problems. today, you've got fortunately young leaders in serbia and albania who are determined to make it work, and i hope they will make it work. and both of them want a future in the european union. but my point is very simple. in exactly the same way, the end of the conflict didn't signal nirvana. the whole world didn't suddenly change. what it did do was give you an opportunity over time to put in place changes that are part institutional and then deeply cultural, and that requires time. you are concerned, you made it clear on a number of occasions, that brexit could really threatened matters. is that maybe too much of an exaggeration? this was tested, this argument, in the supreme court, and they said that brexit was not necessarily incompatible with the good friday agreement. of course, but the thing is this. i am deeply opposed to brexit for all sorts of reasons to do with the uk, its plac

when the crisis happened in 1914, people said it is just another crisis in the balkans. another crisis in the balkans. you can see it in the letters, diaries, their editorials. even the armies are starting to move to the frontiers to begin combat. they are saying this is how it is going to work out. we are going to be fine. you can see that there is panic in the morning newspapers and in the afternoon newspapers they say everything will be up. right until the minute where the army's stock to class. i agree with margaret. 40 hours after those armies started to class, they knew they screwed up. they knew what they got themselves into. now the question is how we get ourselves out of it. that is impossible to answer. that takes four years and 8 million dead to do. matt: even some of the parallels that we see today, the memorial is to tell the story of what happened 100 years ago. but continue to look at the long shadow and see the ongoing impact and influence. margaret, without being too definitive or around contemporary parallels, you have given thought to this. i wonder if
