well international law first of all the geneva convention on the status of asylum seekers. refugees and. countries. safeguard the rights of citizens citizens. expedite the procedure of granting citizenship to people seeking asylum so there is an international requirement and as. we've said on the basis of the application we have. expedite the process i think you think of it. was just been bringing you live thirty egypt from the ecuadorian capital quito where the press conference is being held discussing the case of julian a song the wiki leaks chief has in recent days been granted an ecuadorian id cards are some people who think this is a step in the direction of ending his five year confinement in the ecuadorian embassy in london of course now the ecuadorian foreign minister explained that her son had applied for citizenship to the country in two thousand and sixteen and ecuador has assessed his case or thought of course being an australian citizen she said that ecuador are currently looking at ways to promote dialogue and mediation with the u.k. foreign office and they wi

those refugees here in germany hue of a lesser protection who do not have protection under the geneva conventionsch means they don't are not entitled automatically to bring close family members legally to germany well that was that right was suspended for them at that runs out early this year and the serious you expects the social democrats to go along with that earlier compromise and extend that and speedy leader has been quite clear that he certainly doesn't see that on the cards so this definitely isn't helping in finding the kind of let's say harmony that would be needed to at least find a common level there but then again of course this is a lot of public statements we've seen a lot of public drama over that very issue of formulating a coalition and the more interesting bit is really what is going on behind closed doors come sunday. thank you. guys over northwest may have been filled with hot air balloons back got to be bad across the whole weekend of the small town of mondavi is hosting the international balloon meeting of the it's a thirty edition b. event welcoming pilots from your produc

the refugees here in germany who have less protection, who do not have protection under the geneva conventionsich means they are not entitled automatically to bring close family members legally to germany -- that right was suspended for them. that runs out early this year. the csu expects the social democrats to go along with the earlier compromise and extend that. spd leader martin schulz has been quite clear that he does not see that on the cards. this is not helping in finding the kind of, let's say, harmony that would be needed to at least find a common level. what then again, of course, this is a lot of public statements. we have seen a lot of public drama over that very issue of formulating a coalition. the more interesting bit is what is going on behind closed doors, come sunday. anchor: as well as this new book, president trump has been vocal about shrinking the country's trade deficit, but it does not look like it is going to happen anytime soon. analyst: it is a gap that is increasingly widening. despite donald trump's america first policies, the u.s. is buying even more foreign good

secondly countries shoot out here to the product the nine hundred seventy seven protocols to the geneva convention which protect civilians and thirdly countries also need to bear in mind their responsibility to protect civilian populations in their own country. they expect any reaction to this report from the coalition forces responsible for the ass strikes. many parties have been trying to hold various powers to books the united states and the u.k. perhaps being the most accessible militaries who are involved in these sort of airstrikes and so forth united states for example releases monthly reports on the number of civilian deaths which have been caused at the hands of coalition forces the problem is that countries such as russia and saudi arabia are not so transparent even the u.k. and u.s. is figures have been criticized for being far far too low in terms of the saudi figures in terms of iraqi figures it's very very difficult to get a handle on what those are and it's the international community who has to stand up and urge these countries to be very very clear again about these rules of engag

unfortunately, over the last 2—macro three years in syria, hospitals have been a target under the geneva conventionected, but they have almost been used as a key target, and it really does break the will of the people when you see the hospitals destroyed. ghouta has the last conclave that the syrians and the russians have not defeated, and it appears that they are having a final push. we are all hopeful that these talks will start again. i think a lot of us very closely involved had been devastated by the silence of ireland politicians and western politicians are really calling on president trump, who we just heard, prime minister may, president macron, and others to get behind a ceasefire. we feel if a season that can be imposed, this humanitarian aid that is stacked up on the borders of syria can get in and said those people, and the un peace process will develop to allow free and fair elections in some time. but at the moment, things are absolutely desperate. we have been in direct contact with the russians, with president putin and in direct contact with president assad, and they have in their

they violated the geneva convention, lied to congress and they lied to the public.hey knew we couldn't win and still sent boys to die. >> matthew rhys joins me from the "post." thanks for being here on the beat." >> good to be here. >> what did you teach yourself about daniel else berging in order to play him? >> where to begin. i think i was more ashamed how lily knew about daniel else berg and his impact. i was fortunate enough to spend an entire day with him. and for me as an actor to play someone real, to actually meet that person and have this map where you say what were you thinking at this point, doing, wearing, thinking, it was incredible to have ha. >> do you think this movie is about the truth and if you can reveal the truth, then things happen? there was a belief in the character that vietnam would end. or is this a movie ultimately about something important that's more dry which is process? what are the rights that the press and the public have and what's the process for defending them? >> i think this acceptance or their pursuit or this understanding th

senator cotton and perdue against their colleague senator durbin is just a reminder of how the geneva conventions of politics have been torn up. sitting senators accusing another senator of lying of what the president of the united states said. lindsey graham basically confirmed the remarks to tim scott, according to tim scott. jeff flake the remarks were confirmed to him by a participant in the meeting. both of them republican senators but lindsey graham has a clear obligation to explain exactly what it was that the president said that provoked him by his own words to confront him in the meeting and this really -- this whole episode underscores the situation that republican members of congress put themselves in when they commit to defending the president because the price just gets higher and higher. i don't think tom cotton and david perdue a year ago, who, by the way, it's important to note, the proponents of the hardline legislation to cut legal immigration in half. imagine that they could be in this situation a year ago but that i think is the price of getting into this situation with presid

years in syriac, hospitals have been a target under the giroud can then —— under the cheever geneva conventioned to be a target. ghouta is it last big on clear that the syrians and russians have not defeated, and it appears that they are having a final push. we are all hopeful that peace talks will start again. i think a lot of us very closely involved have been devastated by the silence of on politicians and western politicians and already calling on president trump, who we just and already calling on president trump, who wejust had, president macron and others to get behind a ceasefire. we feel if a ceasefire can be encouraged, this humanitarian aid for these people can get in and save them. and the un peace process will develop to allow free and fair elections for some time. but at the moment, things are absolutely desperate. we have been in direct contact with the russians, with president putin and with president assad, and they have in the past and load ceasefires, and i think what we really need that is a countrywide ceasefire. otherwise, we are going to see continuing desecration of the

refugees who enjoy lesser protection than the geneva conventions now we don't want to go into too much legal detail here but they don't automatically have the right to bring their close family and that has been a bone of contention for a very long time here in germany there this see is you says it expects the social democrats who are more left leaning to continue with what they've done before which is to actually hold those families from doing migrants here in germany now that is quite a steep expectation with the social democrats finding it very hard to read to a continuation of a grand coalition in the first place michela c.s.u. then apparently taking a more hard line position when it comes to migration and that brings me to tomorrow's guest of honor the young varian prime minister viktor orban that's a very interesting choice he's been a very outspoken critic of america. yes he has actually so has the c.s.u. in the past but only then when it comes down to election day that's when they suddenly close ranks again now victor coming here can be seen as a provocation this is you here poi

that phrase is very, very important because under the geneva convention, and corollary conventions andnlawful enemy combatant does not have the rights of a prisoner of war let alone a u.s. citizen. unlawful, criminal, illegal. they're doing something in violation of the laws of war. so that change in status was very, very important. when you get back to gitmo, right now there are only 41 inmates at guantanamo. we freed 7, 800, many of whom have gone back to the battlefield. while i can be critical of trump on many things, on national defense he is strong and on this issue he is dead right. stuart: that expression, repeat it for me, unlawful enemy combatant, is that what you said. >> unlawful enemy combatant, combatant, i'm fine with that what does that mean going forward? does it mean if we seize one of these people on the battlefield, we don't have to bring them back to a civil jury trial in america? we can put them in guantanamo bay and try them by the military, is that what it means? >> if we choose that. in tactical terms, the geneva convention was originally created an unlawful en

so, no, we really ought to go back to the geneva convention, the basic principles on refugee status.o see how that would help the traffickers. if you are allowing a legitimate passage for unaccompanied minors that would surely mean the traffickers business is lessened? minors that would surely mean the traffickers business is lessened7m it legitimate in greece where they land or in spain. 0r legitimate when they cross the border to france or only legitimate when they move to britain because the french don't wa nt britain because the french don't want the problem. the point of rules is people need to abide by them. france frankly have dealt with this badly and gives the impression it's happy to shovel the problem on to the united kingdom. can i ask you about the ukip leadership and where you stand on the position of henry bolton. i think for former leaders to get involved in the workings of a party would be a huge, huge mistake. are you worried that again the question of the leadership is in the headlines, the fifth leader since the referendum ? headlines, the fifth leader since the r

with cuban officials in february outlining cuba's responsibility to protect diplomats under the geneva convention, we received information that the cuban government was conducting its own investigation into the matter. senior officials met frequently as part of our ongoing attempt to better understand the nature of the apparent attack and protect staff. amung other things the embassy deployed devices in an effort to better identify or capture the possible source behind the threat. as many victims had had associated the attack with an acoustic event. after further investigative attempts an expert analysis failed to identify the perpetrator, the federal bureau of investigation opened a case in early may. an fbi case has since visited and the fbi's investigation has conducted surveys of the residents and hotel rooms. however the investigation remains ongoing and we would refer all specific questions concerning the investigation to the fbi. thank you. i'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you. >> good morning. chairman rubio, ranking member menendez. thank you for the opportunit

geneva that would be good for him also to. exploit was that not a fair point that sochi could make some progress that convent be carried to geneva and help break the stalemate with those talks. well what will come out is that if if we put sortie as a prerequisite to move on to geneva fine let wrist let putin have it kristie etc but at the end of the day nobody believes that sort she is a legitimate place and a legitimate process but let's get over it sort she so that we get to geneva and the misery of the syrian people unfortunately the there are so many agendas and the least of everybody's agenda is the plight of refugees and the plight of the people at cetera and hopefully the turkish invasion or incursion into syria will end within north fly zone that allows the two million drive in there and the refugees in in camps in southern turkey to move on and live their life the ultimate would be of course a peaceful solution but until those agendas are worked out i don't see any sort of mission anytime soon ok and until frankly the usa decided to to end it and have it stronger or leaving the whole thing to russia is not good and to t

and franklin roosevelt convened a convention at avion which was on the shores of lake geneva. he invited 32 nations to come to this convention to talk about the refugees, who could take the refugees in. what could they do. of the 32 nations, 31 of them could not find any way to take in the refugees. this one, well, we had filled our quota. another one, well, they're all professionals. we don't have room for that many professionals. another one, they just didn't want the jews. the only one who offered to take in the jews was castro, the dominican republic. but they offered to take in the jews to work land that was really not workable. at the end of this conference, golda was part of a news conference that took place. she wasn't an actual delegate because there was not a state yet, but she was there as a sort of dell gate. and -- delegate. and she was part of a news conference. and i'm going to read you what she said. quote, there is only one thing i hope to see before i die, and that is that my people should not need expressions of sympathy anymore. what golda later said was she
