been trying to do is some find some sort of an arrangement now russia the russian foreign minister lavrov when he said we are still looking for peaceful approaches this of course will be welcomed by turkey so maybe there is some common ground on how to how to try to resolve the problem is that we do know that the russians have given the turks a deadline really to get rid of and to eliminate groups that are linked to al qaida and but so far those groups have not disbanded nor have they joined the ranks of the of the so-called moderate opposition military action has also not been taken against this groups but a lot really has changed to following the deterioration in relations with turkey and the united states and russia and the united states now turkey and russia need each other more than ever and they do have common interests so they're going to try to find a way to reach some sort of an arrangement because we heard the turkish foreign minister say bombing the whole of the bombing hospitals bombing schools this this will only create in his words a massacre and it will not be justifiable i

russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and his turkish counterpart who are meeting in ankara to discuss the situation in syria for more let's go now to say in a holder who is live in beirut so what what have they been saying to the media as. well both russia and turkey are stakeholders in the syrian conflict they support opposing sides but they have been cooperating for some time now through the so-called asked in the process but it is clear that these two countries disagree over what to do in it live it was clear from the statements made by both the turkish and the russian foreign ministers the turkish foreign minister saying that we will discuss how we can work together in a. province in the northwest of the country which borders turkey it is under the control of the opposition the syrian government has said time and time again it wants to recapture this whole province turkey says no that is a red line because there are three million people there and we do not want to cause further displacement and turkey even warning russia that our political alliance could be threatened if this mili

even so lavrov and put before that -- putin -- many were saying yes pmcs should be legalized but then after that everyone was virtually against this decision. some conclusive remarks. why russian needs wagner and similar structures? who needs them? first of all it appears on the surface is the concept plausible deniability concept, possible deniability concept. everyone basically said the government can so it's issues without any soldier involved, private interest of certain factions or some individual are also followed, and there is no public discontent with russia. if you take a look at russia's reaction on the decimation of the wagner group, many russians are safe and had coming, they knew why they were in syria and they are mercenaries. they said during the first storm, when he said about russian soldiers, those are missionaries. we don't know them. and second, the never ending -- this triangle between the quality, quantity and the price, it is here, it is there. russian lives, mercenaries are cheaper than those from other countries. the quality is quite high, and the quantity, we

conversation with the russian player at president vladimir putin we know that the russian foreign minister lavrov is expected in turkey on monday so isn't there a fear here that turkey is going to move closer to countries like russia and iran and will sideline the united states. good question but the truth of it is that. turkey's future or its economic future rests solidly with the european union which has about a third of the world's g.n.p. the united states which has about a quarter of the world's g.n.p. and russia's economy total economy is half the size of california is so russia is not the solution for turkey unless it wants to be simply an arm state running a trade deficit year after year after year with international vulnerability i can't imagine how that is in turkey's interest so they are they are mad but there is a solution to this and of course if it weren't for turkey's own actions with its own economy and its own actions against an innocent guy they wouldn't be in this it is also worth remembering though that turkey is home to an airbase in. airbase in fact which is also used by u.s.

the enslaved workforce varied in a number based on what was happening with both of the lavrov properties. -- monroe properties. that is important to recognize is that monroe's legacy is physically fairly diffuse. this is the one that is open to the public. he spent time in fredericksburg and new york city. of course, he was born in the eastern part of the state in westmoreland county. during the main portion of his public career, here highland was his home. this represents his ministries abroad where he was twice minister to france and england and briefly to spain. it also represents his time as secretary of state. he was prior to that he was a four term governor when that was allowed. he was elected to four individual one-year terms. he was secretary of state and eventually a wildly popular two-term president. monroe was -- seems to be an easy man. they say he was able to put men and women at ease in social situations. i think he enjoyed dinner table conversation. parlor conversations. really was kind. people say he had a great sense of humor. we see that in people's accounts of monroe.

sergey lavrov for we discussed the prospects of the talks between the taliban and the afghan government with investigative journalist nicholas davis political analyst intisar candy. the afghan government just recently endorsed the crucial rule by the us other superpowers in the region in russia of course is one of the strongest country russia and a pivotal role in mediating between the taliban in the afghan government and everybody in afghanistan is hoping that something good will happen after the conference in moscow in russia mediating dollar bond will be also invited the afghan government could be also a participant of the conference so there could be some more progress is in afghanistan because the different the negotiation in the introduction between the afghan government and taliban is just under very fast speed the taliban have obvious on their side have concluded that you know they need to apply more pressure to force the u.s. to talk to them in a sense it's ironic because you know the u.s. have always talked about applying enough military pressure to bring the taliban to negoti

on a visit to turkey, russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said he was surprised at what he describedk to syria. 0ur correspondent steve rosenberg has been embedded in southern syria with with the russian military, who back president assad. seven years of war began in this town. dera'a is the cradle of the syrian revolution. the first place to rise up against the rule of president assad. last month, government troops regained control of the whole area. it's a hugely symbolic victory for the syrian president. what began here as a pro—democracy protest became a civil war that has left more than half a million people dead and forced more than 12 million syrians from their homes. it is a war which president assad now seems certain to win. but he couldn't have done that without the russian military. and our guides for this trip are the russian military. theiraim in bringing foreignjournalists here, to convince us that moscow has brought stability to syria. we're taken into the hills. russian military police show me israeli observation posts in the distance. we're in the demilitarised zone

china iran i mean for even a few days you will have a visit of the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov to ankara iran said that it will support you can help its neighbor as much as it can isn't that a risk for washington. there is a risk in international affairs in all relationships with countries and since the end of the cold war countries have begun to act more independently and turkey has been on an independent track now for at least a decade so there isn't anything new about the strategic orientation of turkey trying to find its own place in the world and separating itself a bit from the united states and from the european union as well but i think that the point that's really important to keep in mind here is there are two ways people look at problem one is it's a game they want to know what this guy's doing and that guy's doing in this than that and the other way to look at it. it is to think about the strategic interest the u.s. has no interest in a weak turkish economy turkey has run a trade deficit since nineteen stintz the one nine hundred seventy s. and in the last ten years

surrounded by government forces with a decisive battle looming the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has warned that the u.s. seems to prefer a regime change to ridding the area of terrorists. but specially in your story we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of eradicating terrorism and extremism we believe these egotistical unilateral political games are counterproductive we believe all the conflicts should be solved multilaterally with open contacts between countries including regional countries. as tensions mount in the russian center for syrian reconciliation says it's received intelligence on the delivery of toxic substances in the province it claims the materials been brought in with the help of the white helmet rescue group for use in a false flag attack russia's previously warned militants are preparing to stage a chemical permission to use what i've gathered here o

now this was the response of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov when he heard these allegations from the u.s. government. it's just hilarious when i hear that funded pictures can demand american democracy i think that's just paranoid that goes off the scale it's not respectable for american lawmakers to make a sensation out of nothing when the ones who invented social media and we're not the ones who insisted to making social media open to everybody. now the avalanche of accusations continues to flow however the evidence to back up these accusations is pretty strongly lacking however americans are pretty clear they have been pretty strongly warned about the alleged influence of russia as the country gears up in the next few months for the upcoming midterm elections thanks for talking us through all about. in new york city let's indeed stay stateside virginia where gregory copely who is the editor of defense on foreign affairs magazine is standing by to speak to us on this topic gregory hello to you what do you make of the joint statement by the u.s. heads of intelligence that ru

this is something that we've been talking to minister lavrov about earlier in the sought she will also discuss how a bilateral relations naturally we have the year of russia in germany in the year of germany in russia this is a good opportunity to learn more about each other. and continue our dialogue. really. civil societies can work together. i think all matters can be resolved through dialogue so i really look forward to these talks and now i would ask president putin to say a few words but if you get what i would choose to i'm very happy that we have an opportunity to have this working meeting. and we can talk about our bilateral relations. but sure he shoots on the international agenda. so you know when you russia. thinks it is. extremely important to work with germany. on a variety of issues and then you will talk about our. your money he's one of our leading partners in trade. i want a bit of a list here of three grew by twenty two percent. reaching fifty billion dollars and generally to june this year we had it in the other twenty five percent you can see that he's getting germ

group the white helmet then is to be used in a false flag attack russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov explain the motivation behind the plot. the chemical weapons prove a case in which is being prepared is aimed at keeping al nasra they're counting on using it against the so-called regime as they call it following the alleged goot a chemical attack russia's warning that rebels will try to stage as similar incident in the evening to draw the u.s. france and britain in get them to hit a sad again russia says an incident is imminent especially after the u.s. and allies jointly stated that they would act if it looks like as had launched another chemical attack that's almost an invitation to do so says moscow it was. now when the u.s. is steering the situation around we want to know how can damascus have chemical weapons if the u.s. france and great britain destroyed them last year you know what the u.s. answer is we never said that france did its do or dive for the jihad ists rebels nowhere left to run nothing left to lose and their sponsors the west the gulf which have pumped billions up

russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the preparations for a staged chemical attack are aimed at keeping al nasra a force in the region to be used as a counterbalance against the assad government but the u.s. is ignoring these warnings the state department says they just don't buy into it the russians are claiming there and this one other group stockpiling chemical weapons and planning an attack so you know and i think that's more false flag reporting and i'm going to be this is enough for when they try to put the blame they try to put the onus on other groups and we don't buy into that but still that comes as a surprise because the u.n. special envoy to syria says that the estimated ten thousand al nusra fighters in the area are indeed capable of utilizing chemical weapons the issue of avoiding the book thing joe use of chemical weapons if indeed crucial and would be totally unacceptable we all know it a way that both the government and have the ability to produce weaponized glory. and with regard to the syrian government's chemical weapon capabilities level of question how they
