april seventeenth geneva accords were made and it said that there should be constitutional reforms in mediately including a nationwide dialogue involving all the regions and old political forces of ukraine like i said this was april seventeenth if it's. a russian us in ukraine we have agreed to launch this process immediately because this. just like i said we haven't seen much progress in this area but it is important that none of the ministers present at the meeting with the ministers of russia ukraine france and germany they all agreed to henri it firms that geneva a statement of and this is an achievement in itself of course you may say dead it's. a poor situation when you can consider as a progress the fact that you are referring the statement that was made months ago but like i said earlier some in europe were not even willing to recognize the genius statement and some of the statements released by. the e.u. . we talk about because peace plan and we asked him why why is it that you don't mention the geneva statement we talk to all of you countries and they all tell me we still be

that we compare ourselves to we are in the geneva convention

the geneva two process completely failed. people tube talk to geneva 3. don't hold your breath. >> right. >> the real issue is how do you reduce the harm to civilians. warring parts duke it out. and, you know, there have been some positive steps that have been taken, checkcal weapons. >> the security counsel did authorizes the delivery into the opposition held areas. >> could make a difference in providing food, shelter and medical assistance to people who have were severely deprived. the next big step is how do you stop the barrel bombing of cities that has been assad's main way of fighting the war in recent months? and i think the international community show has shown itself capable of putting pressure on the syrian government to stop these kind of atrocities if russia will let it. the key is hour do you pressure russia? how do you make it hurt enough so that russia is the inhuman main ways of fighting this war. >> can you paint a bit of a picture for us of the desperation inside syria among the civilians there? >> take the situation in aleppo. i think

. >>> the world healthcare association holding a forum in geneva. the government of sierra leone says it is sending hundreds of troops to enforce regulations to stop the ebola from spreading there. and the man who is being tested for the virus in new york. and patients in elsewhere has tested negative for the disease. robert, what is the latest on their conditions? >> well, their' still inside the isolation unit where doctors are monitoring their vital signs, and giving them an experimental treatment, this serum. and wondering if it is helping their situation. in nigeria, lagos, 21 million people, government officials there are setting up isolation tents and started to take this very seriously. in the meeting a couple other cities in the united states in a heightened sense of security as people who have traveled to west africa are now starting to go in some hospitals here in the u.s. watch this. >> reporter: false alarms of ebola have sounded in at least two major american cities. doctors in columbus, ohio, isolating a woman who showed symptoms of a

it's a direct violation of the geneva accords and international law. it is also a direct violation of the geneva accords and international law for israel to haphazardly target civilian areas when there is a disproportionate number of civilian deaths involved. this is an issue of not moral equivalence. if we're going to compare israel's acts to hamas' and to actually excuse israel's actions because hamas is worse, then let's just compare them equally. let's make sure that international law applies to both. let's make sure that both are responsible for their actions. >> let me explain international law. international law says it's absolutely prohibitive ever to use ever, to use human civilian shields. ever. there are no qualifications. but israel has the right. it's a military target. and any rocket is a military target, to respond, as long as the value of the military target is proportional to the number of anticipated civilian deaths. now if meshaal is standing on top of the building, no. but if he is firing at israeli soldiers or civilians, then they

that's why geneva one fails. that is what geneva to fail. if you are going to have geneva three without iran it. >> we will take to now. be. >> i'm a journalist. i have a question in regard to iran. does this present opportunities for cooperation between the u.s. and iran although both sides of officially denied that? and secondly, how do you see the future of iran? would you agree that a unified solution is a good solution, or would you see that there is enough? thank you. but. >> your question was about opportunity on iran. >> iran. >> hi. margaret williams, and beyond. two very quick questions. the first one is regarding turkey. i am wondering if you could elaborate on how you think iran sees their relationship with turkey going forward, particularly iraq and what has happened in muzzle and elsewhere. secondly, can you talk about him and how potential for some sort of dialogue between iran and saudi could possibly materialize. >> yemen is the easiest. compared to iraq and syria. iran and turkey have had a cordial relationships for 400 yea

are in the geneva convention that we already do and actually lead the way. so when this report comes out, if it suggests that gaining good information made everything all right, i reject that because in the effort of gaining information you violated, i think, the spirit of who we are. as to the individuals involved, they should be protected because this came from the top level of the government. and to the people in the bush administration, i understand being under siege not wanting another 9/11. we all make mistakes but america'americais a great placer

because actions that were taken that clearly violated the geneva convention of which we are signatory as for treatment of prisoners is concerned, and we outlawed that as an amendment of ours on the defense authorization bill. it was outlawed. the president signed the bill. so although it was important to go back and review the exact things that happened and have the congress and the american people understand it so we would never do it again. it's my hope and belief. then there's another issue. that is that a legally

specific issues investigated by the department of justice from the standpoint of does it comply with the geneva convention and they made a determination that it is authorized that it is not torture. >> let me ask you about the c.i.a. director mr. brennan.

that is why geneva ones failed. that is why geneva to failed and even though you are going to have geneva three it will -. >> we will take two now. >> hi. i am a journalist. i have a question with regard to iraq. does that present opportunities for cooperation within the u.s. and iran? although both sides have officially denied that and secondly how do you see the future of iran? would you agree that a unified solution is a good solution or do you see a division of iraq? thank you. >> your question was about opportunity in iraq. >> hi margaret williams ipi. two very quick questions. the first one is regarding turkey and he mentioned turkey a couple of times in your speech. i'm wondering if you could elaborate on how you think iran sees the relationship with turkey going forward particularly vis-À-vis iraq and what has happened in mosul and elsewhere and secondarily could you talk about yemen and how potential for dialogue of some sort between iran and the saudi vis-À-vis yemen could possibly materialize? >> can you

it is being said that you want to shame america while there in geneva. that you're angry that black men are being killed with impunity. are you angry? are you disappointed? what are you exactly. forget what the articles are saying about you and your demeanor, you tell me. >> yes, number one, i love my country. america. i want it to be a better america. i want it to be, as they say, america the beautiful. to be beautiful you have to look at what are some of the things that you're doing. the american dream for people of color is turning to the american nightmare. you can't have law enforcement that thinks that they are at odds with the community. they're supposed to be part of the community. they're supposed to help the community. not walk around and try to overpolice the community. just like what happened with mike brown in ferguson. the problem there that i see is that you leave this young man on the street for two, three, four hours, which is unacceptable to me. people getting upset because he's laying there, he's dead. you don't have the decency to rem

officials are meeting in geneva. they're discussing the possibility that the virus will spread beyond the west african countries. they'll also recommend measures to prevent it from spreading further. w.h.o. officials say the 2009 swine flu pandemic and the need for polio testing in ten countries in may both constituted public health emergencies of international concern. officials with saudi arabia's health ministry say a saudi man who visited sierra leone has died. he developed symptoms of a viral hemorrhagic fever. if confirmed, it would be the first ebola-related death outside of africa. the plane was shot down last month with 298 people on board. dutch authorities are leading the investigation. government forces and pro-russian separatists have been fighting in the area. the dutch leader says it's too dangerous to continue. >> this evening, the prime minister announced that the mh 17 recovery mission cannot continue at the present time. this means that tomorrow, our police personnel and experts will not be searchi

so moved and we're on the geneva car bond award. >> thank you, commissioners discussion and possible action to approve a design contract to complete the design document for the giving me have a it's a historic building one of the last not one of but the last reminder of the electric railways that went throughout san francisco the firm of a.d. land declaring has if a donated money to help complete the concept design i'm sure you're aware of i talked about this when i came through with the bond we found about 8 hundred $0.34 thousand dollars and supervisor avalos expressed his preference we keep those funds with that project and since that time nicole went through the civil service commission to use those funds for 8 land declaring to make the timelines we needed so that's what it is after following through rec and park opportunity to now award the actual contract so the process can be continued for geneva carbarn to compete for a tax credit for which they need the work to be completed and it's evidence of the city's confidence for them to leverage the funds if you have any questions,

geneva one failed.hat's whyo geneva two failed.ge and if even you have -- you aren going to have geneva three without iran, it would fail.>> w >> e malik and then also margar. we'll take two now.s >> hi.ard i am a journalist. i have a question in regard to iraq. opportunities for cooperation between the u.s. and iran, although both sides do have officially denied that? and secondly, how do you see th future of iraq? would you agree that a unified solution is a good solution or u would you see a division of iraq? thank you. >> and then margaret? >> your question was about n opportunity on iraq? >> iraq.. >> okay. q >> hi, margaret williams, ipi. two very quick questions. first one is regarding turkey. you mentioned turkey a couple n times in our speech. i amheir wondering if you could, elaborate on how you think iran sees their relationship with n turkey going forward, ha particularly vis-a-vis iraq and what's happened in mosul and and elsewhere. and second early, could you talk about yemen? and how pote

that is what the geneva conventions are about.ey are neutral in terms of who was the aggressor and the defender, they just look at how you fight the war. both hamas and israel are fighting in violation of the geneva convention. the obama administration's support for israel and the difference it would have made weeks ago if they had criticized israel? the story of this last weekend was after the last attack on a u.n. shelter, the u.s. said enough, and as soon as that happened, they stopped. >> that is a good illustration. about humanit is shields and we are trying to avoid human casualty. in that case, there were three guys on a motorcycle that they wanted to target. they could have waited a minute before they had driven on a bit and then attacked when no one else was around, but no. they attacked them when they are outside of a u.n. school sheltering 3000 displaced people. and surprise, surprise, many of those people are injured and killed. at that point, the u.s. said we have had enough. this is outrageous. they should have said

west africa ebola epidemic an international public health emergency, these are live pictures from geneva. a press conference by the world health organisation , and senior officials is underway. they'll explain how they are going to tackle the problem in west africa. >> the committee's position was unanimous. it advised to me, acknowledging the serious and unusual nature of the outbreak and the participation for further international spread. but also the need for strong international coordination of the response. in addition, the emergency committee agree on a number of temporary recommendations. i have accepted these recommendations. and issued them this morning, together with the declaration of a public health emergency. many of these recommendations concern measures to be tape in countries affected by the ebola outbreak. others point to measures that all countries should put in place. all of these recommendations are contained at restricting additional outbreaks and spread. the epidemiology of the outbreaks and reports from high ranking health officials about the situation in the hard-

we have the reports now from gene geneva. >> the mortality rate is up 90%.is the worst outbreak ever spreading to four countries. the race is on to find a relike treatment. no one knows if the experimental drug given to two american aid workers really helped or now back in the united states they're improving simply because they're getting the best medical care money can buy. today the ethnics committee will discuss whether the drug never properly tested on humans should be tested more widely. >> we know it's public health measures that will stop the outbreak. it's breaking the chains of transmission through tracing of contract, getting people infected into medical care. >> the drug raises ethical questions. deciding against the accusation that a potential life saving treatment is only available to aid workers from wealthy countries. deciding in favor if the drug were to have major side effects lead to charges of the top public health body approved harmful experiments on the world's poorest people. the world health organization works worldwide to combat aids,

of to that there are other four months which must be used there is the norm on water there is the geneva. and i. remind you that this is the ukraine russia the u.s. and the european union prime minister yatsenyuk spoke about this format. and there in the garage special representative of the president on saturday the crisis they spared that this geneva with the participation of not only the e.u. but also with the us is the best one. we. read into any form and president putin highlighted that. the most important thing the form what must bring practical results so that we would move from the. the civil war in ukraine to the national dialogue and forming the national unity. which was. mentioned on the twenty first of january february. the agreements between. mid between misters one has yet to new political uncertainty baulk and president you know which this national unity is. actually. after this agreement on the twenty first of february was broken by the so opposed moves no one has remembered anything about that but now this topic has returned to this political discourse because it's a real

>> international humanitarian law, also sometimes known as the geneva conventions, are basically thees of war. >> and what's happening today? >> today is something that we call "raid" cross. it's a series of simulations that teaches young people about the rules of war. so, the idea is that there are two opposing armies -- one, the haddarian army, and the other one is the deldarian army, and they've been in conflict for a long time. the point of having two separate armies is the way that we can show simulations with prisoners of war and humanitarian workers and indiscriminate weapons. >> can i join in? >> absolutely! >> so i joined the group haddarians, and we got ready for the things to begin, which they did, with a bang. >> everyone up! let's go! let's go! stand up! get up! >> so, the first simulation that we do is called "prisoners of war," and what we do is we sort of surprise the students. they're not anticipating it. we take away their rights to food and water and the ability to contact their family members, we make them do push-ups and sit-ups, and we run them around, and they

be governments of the world under the umbrella of the convention on conventional weapons here in geneva who will be addressing this issue and we're hoping they will go further and we will continue a dialogue to lead to a new international instrument that would prohibit you know fully autonomous killer robots so it's not. it's not something that we're being ridiculed for anymore although you're correct when we first used the term killer robots some people said we're using scare tactics that's not true we want to guess we want to capture public attention which means you use language that makes people stop and think but immediately military started responding to us showing clearly that we are not making things up this is not science fiction and i wish it were to be quite honest with you jenny i'm just wondering have you personally had a chance to talk to people directly to people who are making this autonomy's weapons do they actually consider the dangers of what they're building. well i haven't spoken to them yet myself but i intend to. dear dear aware there is an increasingly robust dial

that's why geneva one fails. that is what geneva to fail.if you are going to have geneva three without iran it. >> we will take to now. be. >> i'm a journalist. i have a question in regard to iran. does this present opportunities for cooperation between the u.s. and iran although both sides of officially denied that? and secondly, how do you see the future of iran? would you agree that a unified solution is a good solution, or would you see that there is enough? thank you. but. >> your question was about opportunity on iran. >> iran. >> hi. margaret williams, and beyond. two very quick questions. the first one is regarding turkey. i am wondering if you could elaborate on how you think iran sees their relationship with turkey going forward, particularly iraq and what has happened in muzzle and elsewhere. secondly, can you talk about him and how potential for some sort of dialogue between iran and saudi could possibly materialize. >> yemen is the easiest. compared to iraq and syria. iran and turkey have had a cordial relationships for 400 year

april seventeenth big geneva accords were made and it said that there should be constitutional reform mediately including a nationwide dialogue involving all the regions and old political forces of ukraine like i said this was.

bbc news, geneva. >>> earlier i spoke to the bbc news world affairs reporter. he said the u.n.tical of all sides in the conflict. >> government forces, it means the original rebel groups, the free syrian army, and the new actors on the battlefield, which is the islamic state. it's accusing all of them of carrying out atrocities. this commission, appointed by the u.n. human rights council, has been bringing out these reports for three years now, basically since the conflict in syria began. i have to say, the reports i've seen, this is the bleakest so far. >> as you said, we had heard this before. this perhaps is the first time it brings the islamic state as a separate entity up there with the others. where does it leave the deliberations for western government about what to do? >> it's very strong about the international community. it also castigates the international community, saying it has failed in what it calls its elemental duties, ie to protect civilians and stop atrocitie atrocities. i think it's said this before, that there should be an arms embargo at the very least. o

we were told transocean's top ten executives live around here in the geneva area and work on the top two floors of this building, everyone from the ceo to the chief financial officer to the vice president of taxes. they wouldn't talk to us, and neither would weatherford, that also moved their ceo and cfo to geneva. and so now we're beginning to see a jobs exodus from the u.s. of top management. >> we can't write a law that their lawyers can't get around. that's the whole problem here. >> you're in congress. why did congress write these laws that allows this to happen? >> there's been a lot of arm twisting, a lot of effective lobbying here, and some really smart tax lawyers figuring out how to game the system with one shenanigan after another. >> but are they shenanigans, or is it the law? >> i think it was a shenanigan when some of these companies felt so strongly about america that they renounced their american citizenship and began saluting a foreign flag. they exploited a provision in our tax laws and moved offshore. [ticking] >> coming up: are u.s. corporate taxes too high? >> ev

's in geneva calling for the u.s. to stop murders committed with impunity against young black men. ron's son, jordan davis, was killed two years ago by michael dunne. a shoulde court ruled dunne's case a mistrial. >> we need to look at the way we view some of these crimes. i mean, the stand your ground ruling that says that we must look into the mind of the shooter. i don't think that's fair because you can't look into the mind of a shooter and try to figure out if that person was reasonable or not. that's the whole thing with the stand your ground law. what's reasonable to you is not reasonable to me. i don't think its reasonable to shoot into a car full of teenagers because their music is too loud but apparently mr. dunne thought it was reasonable. >> this is what i want to get at with you, you know, it is being said that you want to shame america while you're there in geneva. that you're angry that black men are being killed with impunity. are you angry? are you disappointed? what are you exactly and forget what the articles are saying about you and your demeanor. you tell me. >

the attacks have been directed populated areas and this is a violation of the geneva convention, all the relative s of international agreements and treaties. international community eeds to confront the israeli war machine, this murderous war machine. actions of israel have .urpassed all reasonable limits u.n. ve spent years at the trying to uphold principles of we are facing d ow an enormous moral challenge with regard to these crimes. these are crimes against humanity. they are war criticisms. all of crimes against human kind. the responsibility needs to be these acts under the international community needs to take responsibility as well. needs to fulfill its responsibilities. is not enough at this point. e must demand the immediate withdrawal by israel from the .alestinian territory e would like to commend the and ssioner general of other officials for their statements, strong statements the actions in this conflict, particularly the on schools. have raeli authorities disregarded their obligations. disregarded security council resolutions, general resolutions, aluminum and only ol

al qaeda doesn't know what the geneva convention is. not know whats the geneva convention is. we train americans, particularly our special forces, individuals, we call siri techniques harshnclude very treatment during their training inpreparation for a point time for when they may get captured. i -- i would hope that never happens. be, folks, we have to honest, we can't kid ourselves. these are the meanest, nastiest world that we're dealing with. they flew an airplane into the knowing theyenter were going to die, but yet forward togh looked it because that's their mindset and those are the individuals we're dealing with. these are not bank robber out there. killers. -- these are and we need to -- we need to that if -- if they capture americans, whether they're military or not, they're be dealt with in a very pleasant way. >> here is an audience member speaking of the c.i.a., are you concerned that monitored your investigators' computers? >> yes, yes. about that.ncerned not only am i concerned about it, we know they did it. not right. it's not just a violation of the constituti

the answer can be found in switzerland in geneva in this anti-fraud laboratory. two years ago patrick edgar and d.d. or telly were surprised to find a toxic teen in the flesh of farmed fish in extremely high levels. well above the fifty micrograms per kilogram permitted in foodstuffs. a reference value is fifty so we're looking at this level. and we'll see that in our fish the measurements are ten to twenty times more than the standard because concentrations are between five hundred and eight hundred or nearly a thousand micrograms per kilogram have been found. so they're extremely higher than the norm so they're a lot higher than the norm we don't see that in wild fish this is logical since they're not fed fish we are on the other hand all the fish coming from the aquaculture industry so are contaminated with the king. before them nobody had ever thought to look for a toxic eating fish and for good reason the product is supposed to protect fruits and vegetables but meal manufacturers have found another use for it. i don't know in fact it's put into the fish meal

this will also be the focus of our efforts with high contracting parties with the geneva conventions where we have asked the depositary, considernd, to enforcement measures. it is our hope that our combined effort will bring about the substantive transformation of the situation necessary to bring calm and salvage the greatly dismissed and diminished prospects for peace. we thus continue to call on the security council to uphold its duties and adopt the draft resolution that is now before it in order to ensure a durable cease-fire and address the underlying issues that continue to be the cause of so much suffering and instability, including ending the inhumane israeli blockade of gaza. we will persist in all of these efforts and remain unrelenting in the pursuit of the right's, justice, freedom, and dignity that the palestinian people have been so wrongfully denied, but which are rightfully theirs to claim, and i thank you very much, mr. president. >> i now give the floor to the permanent representative of israel, excellency. >> mr. president, winston churchill, one of the great archi

they are all signatories to the geneva convention. that is by palestine -- >> by palestine, but it has not been supported yet, that i know of, by other countries. so, they could support. >> yes. >> we have one question from twitter, and then we will take one more from the audience. are there any international that specifically provide prevention for children? >> that is the convention for , that palestine has also applied recently. >> also in the geneva convention there is a very specific -- i used to know this, and i am afraid i am forgetting which article this is -- but it speaks specifically for the need to protect children, particularly in the any occupied situation. children must be given specialized access to food, medical care. exactly the opposite of what israel has done in gaza. >> [indiscernible] our president woodrow wilson palestiniansat will not be dispossessed by their lands as a result of the of thelization government. isn't that bizarre? is it an opportunity to go back to that time? that political reality? and then to
