that he wanted to follow the geneva conventions. what would it mean? just put it into layman's terms for the us military to throw away the geneva conventions, the rules of war. >> i mean, it's basically the compact that we've entered into with other nations that even if we go to war against each other, that there will be certain basic rules, you know, that we will have rules of engagement, that we won't indiscriminately shoot people on the battlefield, especially on the asymmetrical battlefields that pete hegseth did talk about as a part of his hearing and many of the interviews that he's done up until this point. and you're speaking to somebody right now who lost a fellow platoon leader, wears a bracelet with his name on my wrist every day. we lost him while he was following the rules of engagement, but he couldn't tell the difference between the bad guys and the good guys, like many of us couldn't on the battlefield. but it doesn't mean that we still shouldn't have standards that we hold ourselves to, and it's really hard to suffe

that's definitely definitely talking to us from geneva. we're going to bring in toyota. sadie knows, joining us from a to front of how iran approaching the talks about its nuclear program. uh, well actually it's one of the 1st time stats uh the 2 sides are having talks after and mess with position. john came to the office earlier in july with the cold for expanding ties with the world and with this new approach, answer on i think both sides are assessing the situation, assessing, get charter to see how far they can go through the trajectory of negotiations. the topics that they can cover and the new approach that could be recognized there in geneva, but this still is picking up detox the know that it seems from the statements that'd be heard from. giovanni and officials is specifically the arabian sports person for to foreign ministry. it's like a preliminary stage, right hand side said that they are, they are just experiencing a sort of talk rather than negotiation. it goes the same when it comes to the officials that'd be heard from euro

the geneva we don't do that. >> we follow rules. we follow rules. but we don't need burdensome rules of engagement that make it impossible for us to win these wars. you're saying two things. >> you're saying we follow rules, but we don't have to follow the rules in all cases. is that correct, senator? >> i'm making some rules, senator. i'm making an important tactical distinction that warfighters will understand that there are the rules we swear an oath to defend, which are incredibly important. and this committee understands and helps set them. and then there are those echelons above reality from, you know, corps to division to brigade to battalion. and by the time it trickles down to a company or a platoon or a squad level, you have a rules of engagement that nobody recognizes. and then it makes you incredibly difficult to actually do your job on the battlefield. that's the kind of assessment and look that an army major will give to this process. if i was confirmed to be the secretary of defense, your quote is true understanding of that quote in 2

are you saying the geneva provisions which clearly outlaw torture of prisoners should not apply in the future? >> senator, how we treat our wounded, how we treat our prisoners, the applications of the geneva conventions are incredibly important. but we all have to acknowledge the way we fought our wars back when the geneva conventions were written are a lot different than the as asymmetric nonconventionl violence i encountered in iraq and afghanistan, i was the senior encounter administrator in afghanistan and i had to understand how al-qaeda operated to nato knew what was happening. they knew the rules of engagement, when they were more restrictive, they took advantage of them and put our men and women in a more dangerous and difficult place. for future wars of fight, we need someone on top of the pentagon understands the ripple effects. >> i want to understand your position. torture is okay, is that correct? water and boarding torture is no longer prohibited given the circumstances of whatever war we're in. is that correct? >> senator, that is not what i said. i've never been party t

r in geneva, in switzerland to discuss it, runs disputed nuclear program. it's the 2nd meeting between the iran and european officials since november and it's being held in private. this meeting comes just a week before us president elect donald trump tapes office. in 2015 iran reached a deal with western powers to limited nuclear program. as concerns emerge that yvonne could soon have the capacity to produce a nuclear weapon, claims the trunk as always denied in 2018 all trumps administration. exit the 2015 nuclear packed and re imposed harsh sanctions on a run. and that prompted to run to rebuild stockpiles of enriched uranium. last month in december, the chief of the united nations new trail watchdog expressed concern that they run is dramatic accelerating it's enrichment of uranium. stephanie deka is in geneva for us not much information coming out of what's being called discussions, not negotiations. what we do know is that germany, the u. k, and friends are here meeting with the iranians, discussing not just the nuclear issue. also things like bi late

well, at my impression, you know, i negotiated with the russians in geneva, my impression was that my counterpart there had instructions to come to an agreement and take some commitments so that, you know, the russians keep certain agreements. others they don't. but it seems to be their interest to keep this one course is fair, you know, that any government, any government that was formed there would allow it might be called neutral would really communist dominated that were people of course in certain countries where the red armies exist. why any country that any government that was communist infiltrated did become government. but there are plenty of places in the where the noncommunist and able to band together and throw the companies out and that may well be the case here in laos. it's not a very attractive place of real estate and only 2 million people and it may well be that the russians like to see that area kept neutral for the time being. they always say the whole world is going to become, as was khrushchev when he was in my house and here at the invitation of president eisenh

stephanie deca has more on the story from geneva. is not much information coming out of what's being pulled, discussions, not negotiations. what we do know is that germany, the u. k. and fronts are here meeting with the iranians, discussing not just the nuclear issue. also things like bi lateral and they are relations and also the concern of vermont, supplying weapons to rush or human rights, all these issues on the table. but of course, the nuclear issue is one of great importance. just the week ahead of you as president elect donald trump being sworn in to office a lot to talk about. but what the diplomats are telling us is that this is really about figuring out where everyone stands on such a crucial issue. before the next us president comes in the office. and of course the big question mark, what is donald trump going to do? some say he's very much considering the admitted to strike whether that's directly from the us or supporting israel. other say that he is going to really push some kind of a deal, a new deal, not the one that

are in geneva in switzerland to discuss around the dispute in nuclear program. it's the 2nd meeting between ron and you are p, an official since november, and is being held in practice a meeting times a week before donald trump tags offices, us presidents in 2015 a ron bridge, details with western powers to limit its nuclear program. and it claims around could soon have the capacity to produce and nuclear weapon to ron has always denied those accusations. in 2018 donald trump's administration pulled the us out of the 2015 packed and bri. impose sanctions on around this problem to toronto, to rebuild stockpiles of enriched uranium. and just last month, the chief of the united nations nuclear want stronger express concern that iran is dramatically accelerating it's enrichment of uranium. stephanie dixon has more from geneva, diplomats making it very clear that these are not negotiate, shows that they are tulips about hoops. they are discussions, trying to find some kind of common ground about how to move forward massively on the agenda of course earphones nuclear

r in geneva or in switzerland to discuss around this dispute is nuclear program. it is the 2nd meeting between around and european official since november and is being held in private. stephanie deca has more from geneva, of the diplomats making it very clear that these are not negotiate, shows that they are talks about hoops. they are discussions, trying to find some kind of common ground about how to move forward massively on the agenda of course earphones nuclear issue, but also regional tensions bilateral relations. and also your p and country is concerned about their role in supplying russia with weapons. interestingly, on a day when iran is reduced footage of around to 1000 new droves that supplying to its army, of course these have been to mole choose times in the middle east, particularly erodes, roll the back of it, but to be very much diminished by user. all that you're talking about has a mass also of course syria. so there is a whole realignment happening in the region and of course, further afield. so the big question mark is what it is. donald trump,

r in geneva, in switzerland to discuss it, runs disputes of nuclear program. it's the 2nd meeting between yvonne and you'd have been officials since november 11 on this new president. joseph phone is holding consultations before nominating a prime minister. cutting care take a prime minister and actually in the country is one of the contenders to take. the next financial ones for canada is selected. it's going to be their job to form and you've got the european defense ministers are meeting in poland to discuss mandatory support for ukraine. the ministers of germany, the u. k. funds actually on poland of gathers new warsaw with ukraine attending remotely. poland has said that it's well place to hold the course of the child's, because it provides a route for most of the military age to ukraine, and it's on nato's eastern border with russia. i mean, i'm not, i'm is a military analyst on post doctoral research or at the war studies department of kings called the london. she's joining the not from berlin. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. one would im

stephanie that goes joining us from geneva, where those talks are being held. so the nuclear program on the agenda, but we understand the group is also going to be discussing other issues as well. so the yes that'd be talking about the new issue. it's important to note these are not negotiations. these are discussions that is what the diplomats have made very clear. these are talks about tools trying to figure out where everyone stands. as you mentioned, crucial timing, just 2 weeks ahead of a new us administration. and donald trump, obviously that graphic very well explaining, they're having tools out of that, you're dealing 20 at the leading to what now many i've missed who they will and haven't called a nuclear threshold states aside from the nuclear issue. yes. all the issues on the agenda here, things like europe is very concerned about the wrong in supply of weapons to russia . that is being discussed by natural ties are being discussed. human rights issues are being discussed. so at large framework, if you will on the table, but the key one really is uh,

secretary of state of the united states, who had not been involved, but they rented a lear jet in geneva and then they flew to los angeles and informed warren christopher that the oslo agreement had been signed. there was a ceremony on the south lawn. some of you were there. i was sitting on the front row. my wife was on the third row. [laughter] behind the former secretaries of state. and sitting beside her was a foreign minister of norway who had negotiated the agreement. his name was never mentioned. and two years later, he had died at the age of 44. that was a high point. and then began the low points , with rabin's assassination and violence by the palestinian militants which resulted in netanyahu's election. and then a long dry spell, interrupted recently by president clinton, who brought the leaders to the plantation and you know the results. which is basically put back on track the peace process. it's not quite back where it was before rabin's assassination, but there's hope there. anyone dealing with the middle east has to be an optimist. i am. jehan is. sadat was, many others.

i think also has provisions that incorporate the geneva convention and the laws of armed combat. are you saying that those laws should be repealed? that is the law of the land right now. >> senator, we have laws on the books from the geneva conventions into the uniform code of military justice. and then underneath that you have layers in which standard or temporary rules of engagement are put into place. we fight enemies also, senator, as as our generation understands that play by no rules. they use civilians as human shields. >> so are you saying they target women and children? the geneva convention should not be absurd rules. >> we follow rules, but we don't need burdensome rules of engagement that make it impossible for us to win these wars. >> you're saying two different things. you're saying we follow the rules, but we don't have to follow the rules in all cases. is that correct? >> senator, i burdensome rules. senator, i'm making an important tactical distinction that warfighters will understand that there are the rules we swear an oath to defend, which are incredibly impor

stephanie doctor has more from geneva. not much information coming out of what's being pul discussions, not negotiations. what we do know is that germany, the u. k, and friends are here meeting with the iranians, discussing not just the nuclear issue. also things like bi lateral that they have relations and also the concern of vermont, supplying weapons to rush or human rights. all these issues on the table is that on this new president, joseph owned this holding consultations before nominating a prime minister. the current care take on prime minister and nigi mccarthy is one of the content has to be the next premier. once the prime minister has selected, it's their job to form a new government and that's a process it could take months. jenna called as a rhodes with more the process has begun when parliamentarians head to the presidential palace and they named their choice of the next prime minister, the man who receives the majority of both. of course, this happens in consultations with the newly elected president will be

she's the world materials go organizations, depth seats, sexy genuine, joins us from geneva. i'd very much hope that we can hear you this time. k we. i was asking you about more even more deadly, even more costly is often than what we're saying right now. how can that happen? what did they look like in relation to what was seeing happening right now in los angeles? but these walls live it seems this somehow we again contest what co is saying that we do apologize. 12 view is for this technical issue that we have. we might try just one more time a little later this out to fix that problem because it's a, as something is like usually important subjects with a very interesting guess. we will try and get more on that for you. now nicholas, my door has been sworn in full of the 6th. yeah. tom as venezuela's president, the 70 went ahead despite international calls, him to stand aside off of july's disputed election. winter was declared the went up by the country's top code, but details voting tallies of never being published. integration coincides with the us announcing new sanction

killing one palestinian woman who was a journalist while she was walking in geneva. and how do we know that on december 24th. see, how does your media network put out a statement condemning what they called the incitement campaign, initiated by foot in the west bank against al jazeera and his journalist. they said, particularly against alger 0, correspond them how many authorized for covering the classes between palestinian national security forces and palestinian resistance fighters in janine, how much does all this perhaps tie into that? and the fact that this coverage has been ongoing, and it has been so controversial that these raids that have been conducted by the, the engine in have been ongoing as well. a well, the job of a journalist is to report the facts, the truth on the ground and to hold leadership accountable when they need to be held accountable. and the palestinian authority in this case did not want any sort of coverage on the rates, but it was conducting across the occupied west bank. and does ita, of course, denounce the campaigns of incitement. th

i'm not talking about disavowing the laws of the geneva conventions.'m talking about restrictive rules of engagement that these men and women behind me understand they have lived with on the battlefield making it more difficult to defeat our enemies. there was evidence withheld. there was prosecutorial -- prosecutorial misconduct. they default to the war fighter. not the second guessers in air-conditioned offices in washington, d.c. i was proud to work with president trump to understand those cases and ensure our warriors are looked out for. sen. reed: those cases are adjudicated by who? people in washington or noncommissioned officers who served and believed in the military? who were the court marshals? mr. hegseth: in multiple cases they were actually acquitted. regardless of where those authorities are. sen. reed: others were convicted. that's the only reason you asked for a pardon, because they were convicted. it was already disparaged in writing, the geneva convention, the rules of law, all of these things. how will you be able to effectively lead

now the p a has not just been cracking down on armed fighters in geneva, but also those who have been critical of the palestinian authority on social media . there had been several videos that emerged at the pa, resting and abusing some of those critics. but the pulsing you authority has killed at least 11 palestinians in the last 4 weeks in these rates in geneva. among them a journalist who was walking at night time, the central jersey to a man as well. most off about duty is the 2nd general of the palestinian national initiative and he says, the bottom must be reversed. if the student has an issue with that, is it, it should discuss it with it or not then, but i think this is a wrong decision, especially in the light of the fact that i just, you know, that we have talking about the english channel or the out of the channels has been in the oven garden exposing to the crimes against the police thing and people and continues to be so visually and covering the genocide that is taking place in gaza . and the kinds of committed by those that are a new patient against the policing and peo

and president sent me to geneva to meet with vorster. that was a terrible shame. and i, i spent three days debating with him about why his government should open up and get rid of discrimination and he was a really bad actor. maybe that's another story. but he you he he had once praised adolf hitler. he this was not good material. and we we really preston we did. we did in our time in office. we didn't get it done. but we started something there in africa that that did make a difference. they heard us. they saw we changed. and it encouraged citizens throughout africa to believe that they, too, had a right to participate in the public life of their country and a lot of progress occurred because of that example. mr. president, of one other aspect of human rights that hasn't been mentioned yet is the right of people to live in peace and unfortunately not just under trump, but for a long time, our country has been the foremost warlike country on earth. i was. i was had is in must finish your lesson. a few sundays ago on and i looked it up on google. the united states

i flew to london, geneva, switzerland. syria. i have the crown prince from saudi arabia, that was not even the totality of it. we had our normal conference, one side of the table filled with americans, the other side filled with egyptians. we had a banquet that evening with some entertainment. afterwards, i felt a strange rapport with that man. that has been almost unequaled in my life. i invited him to go upstairs with me to a place in the white house were very few people visit, on the second floor where the families live. he went up with me. my little daughter amy was asleep and i woke her up. i said amy, i want you to meet a new friend. he met my daughter. sat on the corner of a chair, sofa, i began to explain to him my dreams of peace in the middle east. i found a receptivity i have not experienced anywhere else. i begin to recognize the attributes of this man that made him great. calm, self assured, a farsighted awareness of global interrelationships. he was bold. didn't lack political courage. there were some things he said

and banned the network now the pe has not just been cracking down on armed fighters in geneva, but also those who have been critical of the palestinian authority on social media . there have been several videos that emerge, the pa resting and abusing some of those critics. but the pulsing you authority has killed at least 11 palestinians in the last 4 weeks in these rates in geneva, among them a journalist who was walking at night time, the central that's just the, the amount of stuff about goods. he is the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, a political party. he says the band must be reversed. if the 1st thing i know somebody to has an issue with that, is it a to discuss? i pull that is either not then bunch of data. i think this is a wrong decision, especially in the light of the fact that i just, you know, and then we have talking about the english channel or the other big channels as being in the oven garden. expose into the crimes against the police thing. and people and continues to be so visually and covering the general side that is taking place in gaza an

now in geneva soviet american representatives are discussing a 50% reduction in strategic nuclear weapons. perhaps we can have a treaty ready to sign by our meeting in spring. the world prays that we will. we on the american side are determined to try. we have a vision of a world safe from the threat of nuclear war and indeed all war. such a world would have far fewer missiles and other weapons. today, both america and the soviet union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles, a defensive shield that will threaten no one for the sake of a safer piece i am committed to pursuing the possibility that technology offers. the general secretary and i also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. for example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our borders. expanding contacts and information will require decisions about life at home that will have an impact on relations abroad. this is also true in the area of human rights. as you know, we americans are concerned about human

especially what's happening in geneva and it's comes in the network. how did the such decision aligns with the previous action taken by the israeli government, which closed out to 0 is office in ramallah. of 0 says it shots by this decision which comes at the time when the war and the gaza strip is still ongoing. across one of the honda salutes is the following events from the jordanian capital of a mon reporting from that because these ready government has bound out 0 for reporting in israel. and the palestinian authority has bound as a z dot from broadcasting and working across the occupied west bank. the decision was delivered on january 1st and just the, the employees and the official palestinian news agency says that the p a sites quote, misinformation, incitement and interference into palestinian affairs based on the coverage of the ph rates across the occupied west bank. but specifically in jeanine now previously i just needed was banned by these really military and government, both in israel and the occupied was bank. but the military band in t

in addition to which, the geneva accord of 1954, which guaranteed, or should guarantee that neither side interferes with the other if there is to be a merger between the two countries again, there will not- - they will do it in peaceful means, i would hope, this can be knocked out and two halves of vietnam can live peacefully. >> is there censorship on what we are hearing from south vietnam? >> none whatsoever. anyone can write what they want, they what they want. we are getting the full news. some of it is made a little more sensational, i think, then that should be. we are getting some more reporting that should be of exact details, quite what they are doing, the matter in which they are standing up to the terrorist tactics of the communist guerrillas, and the way they are fighting back are indications that they are ready to fight and stand up against the encouragement of the girl is . >> the release of these two sergeants. >> i think that was very interesting and thrilling, must be very thrilling to the families of these two sergeants . perhaps you know, one of them is sergeant quinn.

and the horn of africa in geneva is dr. location capella, who was the united nations resident and humanitarian coordinator for so don in 2003 in 2004. he was vocal about the atrocities a he witnessed in, don for, and infinity goss capital. the car is out of my jang, the african union, especially in boy on the prevention of genocide. welcome to you all. thank you so much for joining us on inside story home to, to hire in london. if i can start with you, we have today one of the worst worst humanitarian crisis, a war that's creating mass funding as we've heard. and we'll be of, you know, delving deeper into that in just a moment. but i wanted to get your reaction 1st to the us declaring and determining that the are assess. and it's all lies that committing genocide in to dot. and so dawn today, what do you make of that and, and what do you think has motivated this decision? now i think it's high time the united states made this designation. we have, we know that the us has been sitting on information about the atrocities being committed by the hours of, for some time, the roll them bucks into th

but the other factor, too, is you've already disparaged in writing the geneva convention the rules of law, all of these things. how will you be able to effectively lead a military in which one of the principal elements is discipline, respect for lawful authority? you have made statements to your platoon after being briefed by a jag officer. or by the way, would you explain what a jag off is? >> i don't think i need to, sir. >> why not? >> because the men and women watching understand. >> well, perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand. >> it would be a jag officer who puts his or her own priorities in front of the warfighters, their promotions, their medals, in front of having the backs of those who are making the tough calls on the front lines. >> thank you senator. >> interesting. >> thank you, senator. thank you very much, senator fischer. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and welcome, mr. hegseth, to you and to your family. thank you for the meeting that we had. we talked about a number of things. first and foremost was that nuclear weapons are foundational to our national defense.

the other factor, too, is you've already dispar aged in writing the geneva convention, rules of law, all these things. how will be able to effectively lead a military in which one of the principle elements is discipline, respect for lawful authority. you have made statements to your platoon after being briefed by a jag officer, would you explain what a jag officer is? >> i don't think i need to, sir. >> why not? >> the men and women watching understand. >> perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand. >> it would be a jag officer who puts his or her own priorities in front of the war fighters. their promotions, their medals in front of having the backs of those making the tough calls on the front lines. >> thank you. interesting. >> thank you very much. senator fisher. >> welcome, mr. hegseth to you and to your family. thank you for the meeting that we had. we talked about a number of things. first and foremost was that nuclear weapons are foundational to our national defense and having a safe, effective and credible nuclear deterrent undermines our alliances and deters adversaries

in collaboration with the geneva-based foundation, switzerland has enabled an ai-based tool for analysis from data from ten council meetings with a particular focus on the new agenda for peace. third, the council must promote measures throughout the life cycle of ai systems to ensure that they are safe, secure and responsibly managed. as a priority, the council must better anticipate the technologies such as ai on the maintenance of peace and security and act preventively. switzerland had a briefing in 2024 as well as a publication on the statement of this topic. in this statement, the council expressed its determination to take more systematic account of scientific advances that could have an impact on international peace and security. at the heart of the development and use of our artificial intelligence systems, human beings and dignity must always be at the core of our concerns. human rights' due diligence and human oversight are two essential elements that must be taken into account. ai also has an important implication in the context of armed conflict and humanitarian crisis. with

the rules of engagement need to follow the geneva convention. he did not seem to know that distinction. so this could be a critical thing, because when you look at what the secretary of defense has to do when he or she approves rules of engagement for forces in combat, there needs to be an understanding of what the legal parameters are and what the operational mission is. so you need to combine what the operational mission is, the types of force that you're going to use, the types of weapons you're going to use, and not just artillery rounds, but, you know, are we going to employ fighter aircraft? are we going to employ naval assets? are we going to do all of those things? and he really didn't seem to get to that point. other things that also struck me were that we didn't really talk very much about the senators, didn't talk very much about key important issues like ukraine. >> they got to it a little bit, a little bit. jacky rosen, senator rosen got to it a bit. >> yes, she did, but other than senator rosen, i didn't really see very much in tha
