kerry is saying the united states every state is saying. that they have common interests they both promote regional stability prevent the spread of extremism is difficult and what russian president vladimir putin can possibly say to the u.s. secretary of state because we all know most of the world knows that the major powers have been doing exactly the opposite not promoting regional stability and helping the spread of extremism how have they managed to talk through these hours and less presumably mr putin is explaining to john kerry that the only way to prevent seasons to stop late to backing the rebels in syria what would john kerry be saying about the latest news concerning those u.n. peacekeepers being abducted by rebels doesn't that undermine the u.s. is support of the syrian opposition if only the united states people realize that presumably john kerry will have to be telling mr putin you see the martyrs of yarmuk order they call themselves even as they kidnap twenty one u.n. observers in march and they have given up for more it's ver

kerry sent the letter to takahashi. he served as director of the him ship what peace memorial museum. takahashi died two years ago and wrote to kerry in 1984. he heard the newly elected senator opposed nuclear development. takahashi described his experiences as an atomic bomb survivor and called for the abolition of nuclear weapons. kerry sent a reply the following year. he said his letter was very moving and no one should forget its message. takahashi's widow found his letter at home. he wants kerry to urge president obama to push for the abolition of nuclear weapons. >>> two global leaders are on a mission for peace and economic development in one of africa's most troubled regions. the u.n. secretary and world bank president are in the democratic republic of congo. they'll also travel to rwanda. they met with congo's president and discussed a flair up in fighting near the eastern city of goma. >> we are deeply concerned about the arenrecent recurrence of violence. >> he says he'll visit goma to see the situation by ha

state secretary john kerry said and i quote that if syrian president bashar al assad was not prepared to discuss a political solution to end syria's civil war the united states and others would consider increasing support for his opponents and of course that along with increasing initiatives across the atlantic something regenerated on tuesday to arm the syrian rebels that is something discussed in the u.s. senate right now is creating a certain feeling of uncertainty over whether the peaceful solution to the syrian conflict may be found anytime soon especially the latest syrian the latest statement from john kerry on syria seems questionable enough after meeting in moscow less than two weeks ago during which the u.s. state secretary and his russian colleagues have managed to agree on a peaceful conference to be held by the end of this month and back then john kerry heard from russian foreign minister sergey lavrov that there were clear signs that the syrian government was ready to take part in this in this conference to have to sit at the same negotiation table with the syrian opposi

seems questionable especially after the meeting in moscow less than two weeks ago when john kerry and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the russian president vladimir putin agreed to hold an international conference to have both the syrian government and the syrian opposition at the same negotiation table and back then sold john kerry that he saw clear signs coming from the syrian government that they were willing to take part in this negotiation while nothing like that nothing of the same sort was coming from the opposition this stance was reached rated again by the russian foreign minister during his meeting with the deputy foreign minister of syria in a moscow we are waiting for a reaction from the russian foreign ministry on the latest statement by john kerry and we know that the russian foreign minister and the u.s. states actually had a conversation over the phone today about the peace conference which is due to be held but the biggest question in the light of the statement by john kerry in amman is whether this peace conference would be held at all. ok just around the

later statement by john kerry and we know that the russian foreign minister and the u.s. states actually had a conversation over the phone today about the peace conference which is due to be held by the end of this month but the biggest question in the light of the statements by john kerry in amman is whether this peace conference would be held at all. this is r.t. the body of an afghan man whose feet had been cut off has been discovered near a former american special forces base in the country and the man who disappeared last november was later seen in a video being tortured by an afghan american identified as and zachariah kandahar chief interpreter for us special forces are being trained a couple claims kandahar he was also in charge of a so-called death squad operating under the control of the u.s. investigators accused the group of torturing and killing at least seventeen people and washington denies any accusations a middle east expert said bega believes it would perfectly fit into the interrogation schemes of u.s. military operations. even if he no longer works for

congress to support the syrian rebels with weapons and even military training john kerry's own sisterested that despite the obvious closing in on positions on syria between rushing out is this there's still a loophole remaining in the u.s. stance there is some sentiment both in the house and senate to provide arms to the opposition. i think that ultimately that will be determined to some degree by the state of the evidence with respect to chemical weapons and what steps have been taken so despite the positions of the of russia and the united states closing in on syria as it was repeatedly said at the press conference still there is a feeling that they may be going in circles somewhat particular because of the statements by john kerry about the chemical weapons and about the possible supply of weapons to the syrian troops if we remember last year when the geneva communique was signed everyone was hopeful back then that this would bring the opposition on the syrian government to the same negotiation table and that a peaceful solution will be found this did not happen of course we'll hav

understand that lots of different issues will be on the table because it's the first visit of john kerry to moscow as the u.s. state secretary but clearly it's no secret to anyone that syrian conflict will be talking the agenda of the talks that's where moscow and washington have been having some serious fundamental differences on their takes on how this conflict should be resolved understand that first of all in the first place russia's concerns over the latest militarization claims militarisation calls in syria will be discussed in fact just twenty four hours before john kerry came to moscow the spokesperson of the russian foreign ministry said that. russia has been deeply worried about the growing growing public opinion in the international community about the possible use of force in syria of course the foreign force that's what we meant it was meant by the spokesperson for foreign ministry and of course one other issue which is leaving russia deeply worried is the a legit use of chemical weapons because it hasn't been yet proved and russia has not received substantial proof that the

well it's kerry's first visit to the russian capital after becoming these day sacred united states and of course he's got a very busy day ahead of him many issues will be discussed in the u.s. russian cooperation with clearly and that's not a secret to anyone that the syrian conflict will dominate the talks that's where washington and moscow have been having very different opinions on how the conflict should be resolved we understand that kerry will be trying to persuade more of that there was a chemical weapons attack by the syrian rebels the fact which never have been proved. adamant that this information has to be proved before making clear cut assumptions as some of the officials in washington are already making also we understand that the israeli strikes will be also discussed and that's where russia has been strongly condemning the actions coming from israel or interesting to see what points of conversation kerry and lavrov the russian foreign minister will have on that also we understand that the russian side will also insist that arming syrian rebels will not be a solution to t

we are waiting for a reaction from the russian foreign ministry on the latest statement by john kerry and we know that the russian foreign minister and the u.s. states actually had a conversation over the phone today about the peace conference which is due to be held by the end of this month but the biggest question in the light of the statement by john kerry in amman is whether this peace conference would be held at all up next breaking the. choose your language. make it know if they still some of. the consensus get to. choose the opinions that you think are a couple. choose the stories that in life choose access to your office. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so many i mean. i know that i'm seriously really messed up. in the old story so i personally apologize for. the worst you're going to the white house or the. radio guy in fort lauderdale minestrone. i want closure of a good if you've never seen anything like this i'm told. it's . ok what's up guys i'm adding martin in contemporary times of c

it is understood that kerry came here to moscow to see russia supported resolving the syrian conflict indeed he already set up to meeting the russian president that russia and the united states have a similar viewpoint on the syrian conflict but experts are at a dismay as to how exactly he may get that support because there are fundamental differences in how both washington and moscow see the resolution of the syrian conflict at the moment in particular russia has been strongly coming up against the militarization of the syrian rebels something which is now being discussed across the atlantic and russia has been saying that this is never contributing to a peaceful resolution of the war in the region another sticking point here another bone of contention is the use of chemical weapon ok michael weapons in syria which is allegedly used by the government troops russia says that this has never been proved and the fact which never been proved did not serve as an excuse for a possible military intervention or anything of the sort it is really hard to say whether kerry has been trying to rel

if only the united states people realize that presumably john kerry will have to be telling mr putinou see the martyrs of yarmuk order they call themselves even as they kidnapped twenty one un observers in march in as they have given up for more filipinos i've been to the golan heights and the broken churches that i saw still today in the golan heights on the syrian side and the green fields on the other side but there but i think the key here is the american public needs to know that their government is supporting the defacto supporters or at least those very close to those who would have supported the nine eleven attacks and what we want now really is the american people to start writing to their congressman and say the united states must stop supporting these rebels because this is not going to benefit anyone in the middle east or the united states next on our cross all the examines of the many unanswered questions are thrown out by the syrian drawn out conflict and what's coming up. i disagree that there's any solution in which assad is going to remain in power that's simply not

he's been following the first visit of secretary of state john kerry to moscow. after a very lengthy meeting between the russian president the russian foreign minister and the u.s. state secretary hardly anybody in the press room expected that there would be somewhat of a backing down from the very harsh rhetoric which we heard from washington and moscow on the syrian conflict lately in fact at one point of the press conference john kerry even said that there is a common perception that russia and the united states have been on a different page about syria and they were here to show to everyone that they were on the same page in fact the main bottom line of the meeting and that was voice of the press conference was that the u.s. and russia have decided to call an international conference probably by the end of this month to have both of the members of the syrian government and the syrian opposition at the same negotiation table to find something of a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict in the country now an interesting twist to the press conference happened

that john kerry's plane has landed at this moment at moscow's airport i'm sure he'll have a variety of issues to discuss with the top russian officials one of them perhaps no one might expect syria well clearly we understand that john kerry is in moscow to seek russia's support in resolving the syrian conflict but experts are at dismay as to how exactly he's going to get this support given that the stance of moscow and washington have been fundamentally different on the syrian conflict just twenty four hours before john kerry landed in moscow a spokesperson for the russian foreign minister once again reiterated russia's concern with the militarization of the syrian rebels the us have been saying all along that they are expressing their regret as to the war which has been happening for almost three years in syria at the same time initiatives which are now being pushed through in washington of arming the syrian rebels and providing them with military training creates a double standard situation and hardly contributes to a peaceful resolution of the conflict according to the russian forei

john kerry has said that the u.s. and russia have similar positions on the syrian crisis and that they both believe the two countries that sold the syrian crisis everybody needs to stick to the geneva communiqué road map for creating a transitional government in syria which was outlined in june last year and both russia and the united states according to kerry and lavrov believe that this is still the most tangible way of trying to come up with a solution in syria and they're both of basically are saying that the opposition in the syrian government need to create a transitional government that would manage affairs on the ground and this hopefully according to them only negotiations would put a solution to events unraveling there now obviously both the u.s. and russia have to look at this situation being the most powerful countries that have influence over in syria and really consider what they can do in terms of an international response to this crisis was there any indication of other than negotiations of what could

secretary kerry aims to change that calculation. according to the "washington post," kerry will attempt to persuade russian president vladimir putin to support or at least not veto a fresh effort to impose u.n. penalties on syria if assad doesn't begin political transition talks with the opposition. officials say the u.s. is prepared to act with or without kremlin support. needless to say, it would be much easier if russia was cooperative. in any ordinary year, russia and america have trained relations, decades after the cold war, debates over human rights, sovereignty and democracy stim persist. this year presents a whole new set of challenges for an already-rocky relationship. joining me today, former dnc communications director and msnbc host, karen phinney. deputy mayor of new york city, howard wolfson and "washington post" columnist and msnbc contributor, jonathan capehart. and joining us from washington, is the white house correspondent for "the new york times," peter baker. peter, thanks for joining us. i would like to start

we have kerry going today to see vladimir putin in meetings tomorrow. and that's going to be a potential game-changer. but it's unlikely, according to most of the arab sources i have, that putin is going to do anything different. >> you're absolutely right. you can almost draw a straight line from the paralysis of the international community to what is happening on the ground. the fact that both russia and china have consistently blocked measures at the united nations for stronger international measures against the syrian president for perhaps even intervention through international organizations like nato in syria. the fact that they've syst systematically blocked those, shows how far the countries are divided even in the wake of allegations of chemical weapons. even in the wake of refugees pouring across borders and this becoming an international conflict or a proxy conflict. the fact is that they're not budging. that's making it very difficult for the united states and its allies to try to resolve this situation politically and diplomatically. it's o

state secretary john kerry and the russian president and the russian foreign minister in moscow would produce something positive never the less international conference which is to be called by the end of this month was the direct result of the meeting in moscow that a conference is expected to have both the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table at the same time a press conference between the russian foreign minister lavrov and john kerry took an interesting twist when a reporter asked about the bill to support the syrian rebels with weaponry which is now being considered by the u.s. congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary was that if the united states finds substantial proof that chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't yet been proven of course then this bill will ultimately become reality which many experts have already described this as a certain leeway for the united states to still have a certain leverage in the syrian conflict now also on friday the british prime minis

state secretary john kerry is in moscow to seek russia's support in resolving the syrian conflict but experts are added dismay as to exactly how he is going to get that support given that the positions of most in washington on the syrian conflict have been fundamentally different just twenty four hours before john kerry landed in moscow all the spokesperson on the russian foreign ministry alexander said that russia has been concerned with the militarization of the syrian rebels by the western countries the us have been expressing their regret all along that the syrian conflict has been going on for more than two years now with so many people dead at the same time the initiatives are which are now existing in washington wolf arming the syrian rebels and providing them with military training are creating something of a double standard situation in other particular point which will be discussed is the alleged use of chemical weapons by the government troops this is something of course russia is concerned yet again because from the russian standpoint it looks like the fact of the chemical

of off and kerry come up with in terms of a solution but i think right now if real is concerned they would like as our guest said to take advantage of this of course but it's not clear the going to get an opportunity hezbollah in my neighborhood i live right in the middle of the security zone a half mile from where that mortar hit the other day more and more people are joining hezbollah sure they've got their detractors but this. again as for the arab national loss as an opportunity to repel the design house american project is a syria to topple the regime and to build up the arab nationalism and bring back into the era well you know franklin they will say this is the states this is their state even this is a sectarian difference to dan when you jump in and we talk about that. they were missing this i think we're missing the terror thing the point here it's going to get uglier it's that was are focusing too much on her so much on what's happening actually in syria. right now syrian civil war is at its peak with the assad regime brutally trying to suppress the opposition forces and wh

hi there andy yes the two foreign minister sergei lavrov and john kerry meeting in private today in paris the chief discussion. that we know about will be syria all about syria this discussion however u.s. officials who wanted to remain anonymous said that this discussion would continue discussion held by kerry and lover of when kerry visited moscow on may the seventh that point there were many issues on the table at this point the real headline issue for them for them is syria and focusing a lot on this conference in geneva planned in june international conference to try and resolve the two year civil war going on there in syria both sides russia and the u.s. trying to encourage both rebel groups and bashar al assad's regime to have talks together to try and resolve that crisis iran and saudi arabia are also planning to attend that conference the big question is whether the rebel groups and bashar al assad's regime can both sit down at the table at that conference there are indications at the moment that both parties in principle want to sit down however divisions within the rebels' rank
