they met in geneva one year earlier. what transpired from the meeting in geneva and the summit in reykjavik? what were the expectationsf of the americans going into this? >> guest: the expectations were very low that the arms control was stuck at that time. reagan was thought to be an out of control hardliner who put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation at that time. things were not panning out. his main priority was to negotiate with the soviets and show he was a great negotiator and bring peace. it is remarkable -- one of the remarkable parts of the research i did was on the plane to detroit to accept the republican nomination stewart spencer says ron, why are you doing this? why do you want to be president? he said to end the cold war. who in their right mind thought anybody was going to end the cold war? he had an outcome. he said we win and they lose. and his approach of reducing nuclear weapons, having starwars and the sdi expanding military might and delegitimizing them this was going to end up a heap in

our question, why the geneva agreement and the road map do not suit the official decisions. it was said that since then it is full plan appeared and it should be followed. we have already characterized this plan. it envisaged the cease-fire and actual capitulation of the, of the people in the east. otherwise, there would be destroyed. and here is the reason of the deterioration of the crisis. the reason is that the ukrainian authorities are refusing to speak and to sit at the table of negotiation with the east. instead the dialog on the, all the issues of the ukrainian state, the constitutional form. but to reflect the interests of all the interests of all the people of ukraine, first of all, donetsk and lou gans being. and then the leadership of ukraine in the peaceful plan is the implementation of the plans of the west and the actions of the ukrainian side, which is using heavy weaponry in order to reach military victory, people are dying. the humanitarian right is violated and human rights which is confirming this. and the ukrainian authorities think that they can use any

nine eleven prisoners of war were interrogated according to the army field manual that followed the geneva convention. the new interrogation methods involve torture. we have no alternative but to meet the enemy worried ways we must and we will. use every means at our disposal to ensure the freedom and security of the american people. the experience of american p.o.w.'s in korea led the united states to develop a program to train soldiers how to survive torture if captured. the program was called seer. it's contract by the cia were among the first to introduce abusive interrogation techniques doctors james mitchell and bruce jessen were experts in serious survival training they adapted the sere torture regimen for you. dr bruce justin was the chief of psychology the air force's survival school the psychologists were there so that if someone actually was having a difficulty some kind of psychological breakdown that then we can stop doing timeout and actually bring in the psychologist so they could talk people through who we were. just to interrogation training it was for the benefit of our f

than one hundred fifty thousand people then you might have had a more positive resolution at the geneva two conference but it you need to to russia chose to side one hundred percent with assad and the geneva two conference felt but dr friedman let's take comparable cases from the region the case of iraq the case of libya you know russia play along with the united states and libya does leave me a look like a positive example of a burgeoning democracy what about iraq you know russia did object to george w. bush invading iraq but it did not stop americans look at the country well let's take each case separately in the case of libya gadhafi then in charge threaten to massacre the people of benghazi at the time that then russian president medvedev went along with the no fly zone which helped protect the people of benghazi. the key american mistake was after the fall of gadhafi not being heavily involved politically to ensure that the chaos which unfortunately occurred didn't occur in the case of iraq it's a very different ballgame you have mr mollett of iraq who eliminated the kurds alienate

one and geneva two said. a power sharing system between the government of syria and the rebels that was the idea and that would lead to elections and a new government in syria unfortunately the russians chose it you need the two in february of two thousand and fourteen to sabotage that there's no other word for it the end result is more fighting more killing and more growth of islam that radical as well dr friedman i would also add to that that three years ago russia also chose to sabotage the american efforts to. you know i'm sad the secular government of syria reach potentially i think probably lots of the a current isis threat in both syria and iran but we have to take a very very short break now when we come back by stretching its foreign policy if then isn't the united states going down the path of the soviet union that's coming out in a few moments on worlds apart. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something if simple as people playing soccer games you can see individual pla

this is on mission and geneva. coming ups, sal will have more on the breaking story and the usually busy area you will want to avoid if you are in the city. good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> i'm dave clark. >>> let's talk about weather and traffic. steve is off today. rosemary is over there. >> our interesting weather pattern continues for our tuesday. giving you a live look at the satellite and radar, low clouds, mid and high level clouds, once again, from the coast across the bay and inland. yesterday, we had a few reports of sprinkles over parts of the east bay. subtropical moisture still overhead. won't rule out the possibility of maybe a hit or miss sprinkle. this will continue to move towards the north. i want to show you again the subtropical moisture pulling in from the desert southwest. 63 in walnut creek. 57 name. mid-50s in santa rosa. upper 50s to low 60s redwood city into mountain view. 60 in san jose. as we get into the second half of your day, additional cooling for our

while this conflict prompted an emergency, the united nations meeting in geneva. the human rights chief navie peela is there. tell us what was said at this meeting of the human rights council, and the message from navi pilae. >> reporter: yes, a strong messing from navi pilae saying that humanitarian law may have been violated in a manner that could amount to war crimes. that's her assessment of a situation after a number of incidents in the area. he urged all actors in the area to abide by international law and make sure civilians are not targeted. let's listen to a broader picture about the situation in gaza at the moment. >> the current conflict and destruction comes at a time when gaza is still recovering from repeated escalations of hostilities with israel. the cipling effect of the israeli boycott linked to the israeli occupation of gaza suppress the ability of the people to go about their daily lives and prevent them from rebuilding their lives and communicate yes after repeated -- communities after repeated matters. i appeal for the blockade to be lifted o

thank you for your attention. [ applause ] . >> let's go back to lauren in geneva.ren, is it likely the resolution will be adopted? >> well, i think on balance the likelihood is, yes, i think the numbers that they had to get in order to call this meeting in the first place would suggest that they have enough support from a number of countries that they will in all likelihood get this resolution passed. the interest thing will be what happens after that, because if an inquiry is adopted, then there will still be time needed to establish the exact mandate, and also to kind the people to run it and get the things in place. so there is still going to be a delay. and also when i spoke to the israeli ambassador earlier, he was adamant that he thinks that israel doesn't need an investigation like this. he says they take all of the precautions they need. so i don't think that we'll get cooperation with any such investigation from the israelis even if it is adopted here. stephen? >> lauren thanks for that. >>> the u.s. secretary of state has just concluded two meetings with

team the geneva extension that extends to the 101. recently the bayshore launch it was south of the site. the t third to link up better with the caltrain station is part of this and additional the one of the key bus lines is one of the mta's transit effectiveness projects. those are the goals and objectives in the 2009 plan we're that established in accumulation and it is for the guidance of the future developments. it's important to mention this has begun criterion up by that the city by the department of public health it's nearly done but monitoring or monitoring b will continue. the major components included parks and open space and the continuance of the street grid and a glorious anticipate expending the leeland is currently the neighborhood commercial corridor it's important to extend the leeland's corridor there was other infrastructure and public benefits, however, those commitments were memorialized in the plan as well as the planner for demonstrate and all of them had covets associated. in other words, to jump starter this i

that is why geneva 1 failed, and geneva 2 failed, and enif you are going to have geneva 3 without iran, it would fail. >> we'll take two now. >> hi. my name is manik. i'm a journalist. i have a question in regard to iraq. does it present opportunities for cooperation between the u.s. and iran, although both sides have officially denied that? and secondly, how do you see the future of iraq? would you agree that a unified slugs is -- solution is a good solution or a division of iraq? thank you. >> and then margaret. >> your question was about opportunity on iraq. >> iraq. >> okay. >> hi, margaret williams ipi. two very quick questions. first regarding turkey. you mentioned turkey a couple times in your speech. i'm wondering if you could elaborate on how you think iran sees sees the relationship with turkey going forward, turkly iraq and what is going on in mosul and elsewhere, and could you talk about yemen, and how potential for dialogue of some sort between iran and saudis vis-a-vis yemen, could possibly materialize. >> take those two? >> yemen is the most easiest. for iran and saudi a

i hope that they're watching on the internet back at home in geneva. although, it's way passed maya's bedtime by now. i hope also watching is my son, matthew, who's 3 is who lives and works in los angeles of whom i'm very proud and has been leading up to my apeernsz here before you today. i do have here a group of deer friends and law partners whose support i very much appreciate, also. as you mentioned, mr. chairman, my late father dedicated the entirety of his professional career to representing the united states as a foreign service officer devotedly supported throughout by my late mother, florence snyder adams. they and what came over time to be a family of six kids spent many years all over the world. and i've thus had the opportunity to witness it first hands through the eyes of the service brat that i was. after service in the peace corps in kenya in 1968-1970 and after law school at mr. jefferson's yooumpbt university in charlottesville, i chose to enter the private sector. and i practiced at high levels for now over 40 years. i've always had v

. >> reporter: lavaux is on lake geneva. people there have been making wine for more than 1,000 years. the terraces face south so they get plenty of sunshine. this makes for healthy, high quality grapes. switzerland produces about 100,000 kiloliters of wine a year. winemakers ship about only 2% overseas. until recently few producers showed much interest in exports. but now that's changing. wine enthusiasts around the world have a growing thirst for swiss wines. the people running this shop in geneva say they have more international customers than before. >> translator: the quality of swiss wines keeps improving. that's leading people to become increasingly interested in them. and so we're starting to export it to more countries around the world. >> reporter: cyril severin makes wine in lavaux. he bought a well-known winery where his grandfather once worked and started his own business. when imports started crowding the swiss market, severin began thinking about selling his wines overseas. one hurdle he faced was high labor c

they were in geneva one year earlier.what had transpired between that first meeting in geneva and the start of the reykjavÍk summit? what were the expectations of the american side going into this second meeting between gorbachev and reagan? >> guest: expectations were very low in gorbachev -- reagan was thought to be an out of the control hardliner that put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation at that time, that you know things weren't panning out. his main priority was to negotiate with the soviets and to show that he was a great negotiator and to bring peace. it's remarkable. one of the remarkable parts of the research i did was on the plane to detroit in 191980 to accept the republican nominati nomination. stuart spencer and old adviser said ron, why are you doing this? reagan says to him to end the cold war. i mean who in their might mind -- right mind thought anybody would in the cold war? and as it happens he had a way to do that. he had an outcome he said. we win and they lose. and his approach of really

and not all our international partners and colleagues have the courage to admit this it means the geneva convention as a political it means that the norms of international media and law are equal. but the shortcuts to do stopping there were allegations is to seize violence is to stop violence is to stop the military to ration which is being waged and this is what the the believe decoration and the geneva agreements are about. but you said three number one in you say asiri that those responsible for this hideous crisis are mostly the right sector groups they all the ones who are volunteer battalions from the west but these groups are these people aren't necessarily under the official camps control so how fair is it to blame the official care for what these people are doing and. the officials you see the ukrainian authorities are still under the obligation to do this design and does bend the illegal armed forces from ephraim's and the right sector is one of them. so it's part of the next little girl you know . so the planes which have bowled me we administer to buildings the residential qu

as as a signatory to the are geneva convention, doesn't l israel have the rbs responsibility to ensure the safety of the people in the gaza strip? >> absolutely. that's the primary obligation of the whole structure of international humanitarian law that's embedded in the geneva conventions. and israel has done precisely the opposite and when i say they don't even allow ordinary gazans, disabled, children, to leave gaza at a time of extreme danger, it is a grave violation of this core obligation to protect the civilian population of an occupied people. >> is a u.n. peace keeping force required here once and for all to restore and maybe maintain calm? >> well, i think something of a protective force is certainly required. you may remember that in the libyan crisis of 2011, when gadhafi's forces were threatening the people of benghazi, the security council met and discussed the so-called norm of responsibility to protect international community had a responsibility to protect. as terrible as that situation was in 2011, the people were not trapped in the way that they are here in a situati

with respect to israel, they have been violating the geneva conventions by targetting a series of civilian structures, where there's no military justification for doing that. whether it's the hospitals, homes, where you see, in one case, two dozen civilians killed, because maybe there was a militant there. no one would justify an attack like that. you saw israel killing the young boys because they were running away from a structure that was being shelled. as if anyone would stand next to a structure being shelled. you have to make sureway you target is a -- sure what you target is a military target, only aim at that and do it in circumstances designed to minimise killing cas uties. israel is -- casualties. israel is breaching that left and right. >> do any of the governments that are involved in these conflicts in these conflict zones, do they care about human right violations? >> everybody cares about their reputation in respecting rights. we don't have to argue about the standards. everyone expects human rights laws are legitimate standard that apply to them. they argue about the facts.

the president was trying to say that this is the end of the geneva process, there'll be no talk about transitional government formed from both the opposition and the regime as the geneva one declaration of june 30th, 2012, says. i think he's going to propose something like a unity government formed from, perhaps, what we call loyal potential in the country, in order to say that here is my plan to restore peace and order and security to the country. >> thank you very much, indeed. we are looking at pictures out of damascus from the presidential palace in syria. the president bashar al-assad now being sworn in, already sworn in for a third term as president. worth perhaps listening to a few of his word before we move on. >> translation: we see in iraq and lebanon, and in syria and all the nations that this false arab spring, and it's the credibility of what we warned about. we should soon see that all the arab nations that have supported terrorism will pay the price dearly, and many are backward and very late, and after so late. the battle of syrian people are fighting to defend his sov

this is a terrorist organization hiding behind civilians, using everything but geneva convention to killocent people on the other side, and so there's no book on warfare between an army and a state and militants, and terrorists are using innocent civilians to hide behind them. thiskukigÑ is absurd situation,i do think the world has to recognize that there's new chapters to write in the world about how to deal with terrorist organizations that are hiding behind innocent people. i want to share one more point with you. i went to the hospital and spoke with wounded soldiers. they all shared with me how war and protect our families and our children and our -- that rockets fired indiscriminately to our cities. they also all shared with me the high degree of standards of understanding, that they don't want to hurt innocent people. they shared with me how many times they don't pull the r trigger because they're not sure if they're using -- if they're shooting civilians, and the morality of the israeli soldiers is second to no other army i know. nowhere in the world is this such an army, we're v
