process just briefly before we go the conference in sochi and the one in warsaw they have one thing in common that we just like to highlight no western european country taking part there what message do you think that that sends one day before the munich security conference begins tomorrow in germany. well i think particularly as the u.s. doubles down on this coercive pressure centric policy towards iraq. inevitably there are going to be particularly among western european allies that supplies the j.c. purely divergence but it's the u.n. process on the one hand and so to process on the other hand in syria itself show that there are competing powers competing agendas. lining us from washington d.c. iran unless analyst with the u.s. based crisis group we very much appreciate your insight thank you. well now it's at the top international business story of the day european plane maker airbus is ending production of its super jumbo passenger jet the a three eighty after just over a decade in production the company had hoped that the a three eighty would revolutionize air travel but airlines

in london i mean it's very interesting as this was going on in warsaw you had in sochi. and in turkey and russia to discuss. seeing the very difficult and game for syria because the turks made promises in last september and they're having a hard hard time monitoring those but the russians and the iranian seem to be expressing strategic patience still maybe what do you think alex well absolutely genuine we come back to that would you use state craft as the contrast between the lack of state craft in warsaw where the united states can few convenes a call truce where nobody of any importance turns up exposing its own isolation on this issue and response by criticizing its own our law is in grossly intemperate language and the very careful patient diplomacy we see in sochi where as innocent that they were as you said correctly the russians and the rain ians are now trying to get the turks are out of the whole war is lisa make at least make them honor their pledges that it's not it's not really a big thick red line there keep going not exactly and what i'm now hearing is that

rowsley into language and the very careful patient diplomacy we see in sochi where as innocent that is where as you said correctly the russians and the rain ians are now trying to get the turks out of the whole war is lisa make at least make them honor their pledges that it's not it's not really a big thick red line there keep going not exactly what i'm now hearing is that there's no discussion about some children joint operation will russians and the uranium joining the turks to try and bring some kind of order to italy profits that is diplomacy that's how to play and she works you talk you talk quietly measures. you look solutions you understand people's concerns you trying to satisfy its concerns you don't convene congress says without. proof airing it while knowing i just said i am not a star as i had no idea you're so old fashioned ok david you know. let me remind you about our beloved mainstream press how they said in the beginning of the syrian conflict or russia is a lie that so with more terms and quarterly with the sunni muslim world now with aaron sorkin they radian presiden

change high level delegations from iran russia take a have gathered in the southern russian city of sochi to thrash out a path to peace in syria bilateral meetings have already been held between the russian and tech ish sides where if a national is in the black sea resort for us hi there mushy say what has exactly been discussed so far. i have to say that this is mr putin and mr edward guns nine make ten in the last year with all of them including today's one focusing on syria on ways to bring the long awaited peace to these war torn countries you know the violence has been. happening there in the last almost eight years and speaking before the bilateral meeting both presidents have talked about significant progress due to close cooperation between russia and turkey agree though that more. efforts should be done more efforts needed to defeat terrorists on the ground the biggest concern today is of course the province of bin rushers in syria's north sorie a very vast area up to three million people more than ninety percent of which according to the russian side is today controlled by the j

rival meetings have taken place to address debility in the middle east in sochi russia is for hosted the leaders of turkey and iran for talks on ending the war in syria in warsaw the u.s. urged dozens of nations to further isolate iran hundreds of ice or fighters have surrendered to syrian democratic forces in the eastern region of the or that's were kurdish does have launched a final push against the armed groups in the village of. headlines the news continues after this is europe stay with us. i mean every reclean nice and cool going to see a recent breaking story joined in listening post as we turn the cameras on the media focus on how they report on the stories that matter. and now to zero. actual best to get of would put in the new me just maybe how. much would one going to be a. good job was given to me who did it look at but. not while i'm sure. today is one way to be good celebration the day off done and that's why we are going to collect the things you can see here we did order we broke and we will broke and you have to go from all over the country and this and that this isn

this or just some of this massive search off in a few seconds these two conferences in warsaw and sochi. have taken place without significant western presence the world clearly is shifting it is clearly shifting the west and especially europe have really failed to gain any influence inside there they have supported civil society inside syria and they were never ready to protect civil society from airstrikes from jihadi effect and so this is the price they're going to pay they have they live with the refugees more than one million syrians came to europe but they have to live with the fact that assad stays in power and as long as assad is in power these refugees most of them cannot return to syria so what they do actually and this is a very important point what europe should do and western europe countries do is to go after the dish of prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity and we've just seen arrest to arrest of secret service members of the syrian regime inside germany and to bring them to court is one of the way really to help syria to find some kind of path to peace som
