reasonable doubt that the syrians have undertaken at least five attacks syrian government and the isis islamic state has undertaken at least two attacks well mr walker you mentioned the victim's blood and urine samples before and we already hearing similar reports from western particularly american media that the victim's blood and urine samples tested positive for cloran and spoken to a number of experts in argon a chemistry and they all say that molecular chlorine could simply not be found in the biological matter. it reacts to quickly it can vary it's to chlorate which is a natural component of blood and urine i have here a printout from the u.s. department of health and human services guide for cloran and also states that there are no biomarkers that can be used to quantify exposure to chlorine gas how is it possible that western scientists would so quickly discover something for which a scientific task does not even exist you know i i don't know exxon or if chlorine samples can be taken i'm not a physician i'm not a chemist you mentioned the blood then you're into something else or earlier i di

they were identified as islamic state isis they must have been why because it appears in retrospect. i want to know that how do you know. and how you were. with home you were in the jail like. yeah. yeah. are there as is themselves the who kidnapped you with that you were with them so. i didn't understand why it's dangerous to talk in the form. ok ok ok yeah yeah i. know you. think. so when baghdadi announced the formation of isis in syria in april two thousand and thirteen our lives he became the wali of aleppo which meant she oversaw all islamic state activities within the province that was the province where most journalists were going and i was the problem province in which most journalists neighbors were ultimately kidnapped there was an unbelievable spike in abductions from the moment abseil was in charge of aleppo. when the kidnapping all locals became grampound right from the beginning of the civil war everybody was kidnapping reach syrians in order to fund their own fights they started kidnapping foreigners too and of course all day well to syrians had moved out so at that p

with some surety some certainty is that the american priority was and still is fighting isis fighting the islamic state of iraq and syria back that's the priority i think it's also clear that president trump does not wish to be involved in the reconstruction of syria doesn't want to pay u.s. taxpayer money to rebuild syria whether in the parts controlled by russia iran in the syrian government or in the parts controlled by american allies on the ground in eastern syria and i think the third thing we can say is that president trump sooner or later he would prefer sooner wants to withdraw american forces and for some other unidentified. security force or group of countries providing a security force to go into eastern syria and contain whatever isis remnants but left on the ground that's the best we can understand about american policy but there are lots of questions about strategies about tactics and about timelines ok let's accept macof in moscow the u.s. senator john mccain has said that america's imagine of a syria has emboldened president assad and russia and iran do you think that a lack of any cle

you talk about isis, so—called islamic states, and you know, the concerns that are destabilised syria does go ahead and happen? are we all in a much more dangerous world as a result?” happen? are we all in a much more dangerous world as a result? i think so. dangerous world as a result? i think so. i think the reality is that if the worst were to happen, the americans go in and the russians react, a vacuum is created for not just the rebel groups, which i think is the ultimate goal of the americans, it has always been a game to allow the rebels to seize power and undermine assad, but the potential for isis to rise up again, the if you are taking out these military bases, who is to say that somebody who has a slightly more worrying goal in mind won‘t go in and take control of these as it can use them more widely against targets in the west and here in asia. certainly the notion of a destabilised syria could be a very bad one, in some of these worst case scenario is that you talk about. now, if we take a look at the impact, potentially, the second cold war, because of course you have go

area where the obama and trump administrations have given a good lead is the destruction of islamic state, isis on the ground in syria and iran. that's an important step forward but the reality is the syrian regime have prevailed in this conflict. this issue now is not about the syrian civil war. this issue is about use of chemical weapons and we need to focus on that. there needs to be clear in the public justification of action is that this is what it's about a any future use of chemical weapons face a similar response. >> so what the strategy and at the same time how do you convince the russians that this is a strategy that they too need to be involved in? >> i think the russian dimension is important because there's been a series of russian actions against which the west has pushed back. we talked about the skripal case and i think the russians were surprised that it wasn't just britain that responded but 26 countries as well as the nato headquarters, that it expelled russian intelligence officers and the united states has taken action in response to russian meddling in the u.s. elections w

people now there is going to say it did not actually disappear completely ok made being in the islamic state or isis was defeated over the ground but now there are. going underground with that a marquee american spreading in the middle east they could come back any time you could come back could come back in iraq they come back they are already there in libya they are already in afghanistan so who created this crisis because the west actually they want to topple assad on the double qaddafi they want to topple ali abdullah saleh in yemen so they created failed states and instability in the whole of the middle east as british foreign policy become really in a jug of saudi and israeli foreign policy i but if yes i believe you know the foreign policy of britain is many pleated by the israeli first by the money of the gulf states to be honest it's it is to create havoc instability in the middle east so they can actually milk these weaker or weak states in the gulf region in particular who are fully dependent on the west for protection when president said we must actually be paid for the protection of tho

secondly, what we witnessed, we witnessed islamic state and isis emerging, there.re having the russians coming to the region. iran reaps the benefit of that war, iraq in particular, iran has the upper hand. we had a very serious summit taking place in ankara just a few days ago. russia, turkey and iran are working together and i believe there is a nucleus of a new alliance taking place in that part. the middle east is completely dangerous. there is no stability at all. that is the problem. the people who were behind, and supported, this war in iraq, are they saying, "ok, let us look at this situation, are we going to repeat this experience in the middle east? what will happen in syria?" the west is losing the battle in syria and iraq for the benefit of russia and iran. the president was suggesting he wanted to get troops out as quickly as possible, that is slightly muted now, but that was his initial instinct. you had this confused and conflicting us policy, what trump says doesn't necessarily match his advisers and what his administration is pushing. trump says he

be -- well, isis stands for the islamic state in iraq and syria, but remember, they changed their name to the islamic state, meaning the targeted not only iraq and syria, but the whole muslim world, including saudi arabia. everybody has a stake in preventing them, preventing this terrorism. syria, we still suffer. to this day, we have insurgents or jihadists crossing the border into iraq and wreaking havoc. as an operational for step, what we need to do a secure the border. this is something the united states is helping us with. the thing for the for siebel future, we need that help. washingtonognized in as it is in baghdad, and bringing in favorable results. with regard to relationships between the other countries, it is in our interest to see that tensions are -- in the region. we have played our role in order to try to bring people together. one of the things the united become one of the bringements was to help saudis back to iraq. the saudi foreign minister went to baghdad, which is a nice --cker at the request of the which was an icemaker at the request of the state department. th

they're not thinking about hospitals they're thinking about and they're thinking about islamic state eisel because isis kind of may be doing what it does it's had a kicking in syria and iraq more so in iraq than in syria certainly but it's beginning to want to spread out in other areas. yeah i mean without a doubt what my colleagues say is that this is going to you know bite very critical of the most vulnerable members of the community because even these hospitals sounding close to three hundred people a day more so than people from low income areas women and children considering the state of the somali government that is a definitely a very important issue to worry about i'm not in my concern is this level of involvement of united arab emirates it's cutting deals with point line it's cutting deals with us. and you know cutting out the somali government because part of the executive is not aligned with the particularly the president i think that was where they miscalculated you know i mean dot amount of money coming into the country during like my former colleagues say during a time when there is tensi
