and so for instance, it took a decade before the state department would apply. the recently adopted law on child soldiers. and i mean, everybody got a waiver for a whole decade just because they don't want to fight with other countries. they don't want to have, you know, they've got lots of interest, etc. so it's been hard to apply this law in many cases. but in on, you know, in other cases, despite those difficulties in pakistan, in nigeria, in columbia, the state department eventually has been able to apply it. now sometimes what they'll do is they'll say, and this is relevant to the point about consensus. they'll say, all right, if you don't agree, you don't think the information you the defense department, don't think the and the information is credible. you. the embassy are arguing that the case the, the criminal proceedings that took place were adequate to deal with the problem. we don't agree with the human rights bureau. don't agree with the political mirror, political military affairs bureau at the state of and don't agree. let's just suspend to the uni

other folks that have resign from state department rules. they're concerned, these are people not secretary assistance. actually they're there. they're doing the nuts and bolts of policy making and policy review and policy implementation some of home including judge paul who resigned because they believe at least to infinity, right. they believe it leads to infinity and that basically, yeah, if you're kind of looking the other way even when it comes to the murder or suspicious death of your own citizens and what is really the then then doesn't that send a message both on the political level of the government level, but also the individual units that aren't really being held accountable at all. i think it's all really coming to a head now. there is this interesting moment right now we're president biden has put on pause the delivery of some weapons. now reportedly here's put the pos on those, those weapons because of concerns about how they may be used in rasa. now, as far as i'm concerned, i don't know if that's because of national security

rests with the department of the state, not the department of defense. despite this, we have begun positioning forces in the region as early as 9 july, but we could do nothing to commence the operation of evacuation until the n.e.o. was clear. our operations at the international airport from 14 august 2 our ultimate departure on 31, artist, both rogue and tragedy. this was a combat operation of the most difficult sort, carried out in contact with the enemy. eventually put 5834 u.s. troops help is on the 2001 coalition and other forces -- 8 u.s. maneuver battalions up is on the ground at the international airport. i would like to talk more about abbey gate, a tragic event that has occurred over our 20-your engagement in afghanistan. it remains my opinion that there was culpability in this attack, it lies in policy decisions that create the environment august 2021 in kabul. culpability and responsibility do not lie with troops on the ground, but they performed magnificent. it does not lie with the platoon, company or flag officers who oversaw operations on

that was the state department operation that was down on the secretary state.oking at the ambassador to do the negotiations. this was the 18 month process. this was the chairman with other things. the process goes on. i don't think he knew much about it. we knew there was a negotiation going on. the specifics to know the terms of the negotiation. i found out about that from the secretary. after the fact. a week or two later, we were given the classified annex to the agreement. no, we didn't participate in the development of the terms or the negotiations. >> the decision was made to draw down 2500 troops. he said inauguration day. did you see that being sustainable to the ultimate goal? was this part of the undue risk? >> my assessment at the time, was that the 2500 u.s. troops, had high and special forces troops. 2500 u.s. troops, with the contract, was the force necessary in order to buy the time that we needed. resulting in the satisfying negotiation settlement with the dead men from the afghanistan taliban. >> at any time between the delhi agreement, and jan

this is a general principle within state department. however, in recent months, it is commented on on problems, deals and shipments to possibly a dozen countries freely speaking comp. when it comes to israel though you have this type of, of discussion. this refusal to comment on what are repeated reports in recent days . like kind of that for us at the us state department, thank you. to start streaming protests is the cost of your pa digging into a bowl demonstrations and solidarity with palestine despite please come down some recent weeks in front of the students. the science po, evaluate outside the college, quoting for move global attention on the latest, the types of rough instructions garza and the oxford and cambridge university loans in the united kingdom have become among the latest sites for students in compass. organize the cooling, put down investments from lessons companies linked to israel. protest as of also be noted in central powers to condemn as well as assault on ruffin. natasha buckler was the in their laws. the suppl

i want to start with the state department question. ms. corbett, you gave a nice timing of your relationship with the state is a ton of them took ryan from the 14 months to designate him as wrongfully detained. ms. dash, you just reference that alsu had not been designated as wrongfully detained. how long did it take? what was the interaction to determine, from your viewpoint as a mouse, that, ok, he is or she is wrongfully detained. tell me about it. >> i started working with spiha pretty early on in the case. both the process to officially designate ryan took 14 months. >> did they ask information to provide or was it a purely state department-driven process? >> it was at the state department for a really long time. and it seems like it was stuck in some legal parts of it. and they had all the information . yes, it just was really stuck. i know chairman mcauliffe was a huge part of getting that unstuck. it took too long to get that official designation. >> tell me about your case. the reason i am asking this question is for the chairman,

what is your connection to the state department's america's collection book? well, i'm here on franklin's coattails because had written a book about ben franklin's years in, france, when he is essentially paving way for the american foreign service, he's really first foreign ambassador. and in the years that he spends in france, puts america on the map and as that is the genesis really of the department of state in the beginnings of, american foreign policy. i'm here in a way, as ben franklin's companion. and that, of course, is your book, the great improvised about ben franklin's time in france. you describe franklin as combative, prideful, callous and overbearing. does that make for a diplomat? no, i think is ben franklin, as he dealt with his colleagues, a curious thing about franklin's years in france is that he essentially hits the ball out of the park on every front, except when dealing with his fellow commissioners in paris and especially john adams. and so those are adjectives that i think john adams would have quickly applied, franklin, where franklin

matt miller is the, the, the, the, the talking head who represents the state department of the united states. so matt levy is asking matt miller, what questions go ahead. right, keep, keep followed up on my question in saying, what about russia and the i c c. because, you know, you, you're saying that, you know, israel isn't a party in russia, it isn't a party. so what's the difference here? why, why are you accepting it in one and rejecting it and then other, and he says, well, the difference is that ukraine is ukraine, is a member, is, are they? well, they're not lied again. he lied on both sides of the equation. the deep sleep claim that palestine wasn't a member, and then he falsely claim that ukraine was that ma'am, and of course, that of course back got picked up by the new york times and abc news and cnn. and they're all now letting us know that there are people at the state department who are lying to us who live here in the united states. that happened right. course that happened. yeah. and that'll work. that'll work. nobody picked up one thing, nobody picked on it in the roo

and they're all now letting us know that there are people at the state department who are lying to us who live here in the united states. that happened right. course that happened. yeah . and that'll work. that'll work. nobody picked up one thing, nobody picked on it in the room. i had actually left the room at that point. i mean, i had, you know, it's kind of hard what i hollered, you know, to attempt to intercede in the situation. and i finally, you know, i plan frankly, i got set up in this situation and my phone was dying. so i, you know, i headed out and it was only a couple of hours later that i found that i looked at it and i was like, hold on. yeah. even the, you know that, matt, we, the a p reporter picked up on my questioning. and that he lied, so they have this massive park receive. yeah. and you know, i didn't get to asked a proper set questions, but just me raising the issue and another recorder of picking up on it with them to be making multiple, multiple lives. matt, matt miller, the spokes person, even at one point, seemed to be claiming that the i c. c. hadn't bothere

when this national security memo directive came out in early february, which directed the state departmentartment of defense to write a report to congress assessing countries on two things. their ability to adhere to international humanitarian law, also known as the law of war or the geneva conventions, and whether they facilitate and not block humanitarian assistance. i have worked in government for a long time. i am not one who relishes getting tasked with more reports. but i thought this is a report that actually could have some impact. i was mostly focused on humanitarian assistance. so when the report came out on may 10 and i read the conclusion , especially the conclusion that israel was not locking humanitarian assistance, i decided i would resign. i thought that was not the opinion of subject -- the humanitarian community, organizations working in gaza. nick: and those experts included you because you were participating in the report. here is the quote from the state department report that you reference. we do not currently assess the israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise

so this doesn't necessarily mean that by this change, just tune again, the state department is separate from the administration. they have had several departments working on this report for months. it was supposed to be delivered to congress days ago. so it doesn't mean the fight is going to change his tune, it just means that he doesn't have to follow through with this because the state department found that israel is in violation of international human law has declined for a city washington, dc. that's we update patsy. to both of the advocates to solve the budget request to the international court of justice over they will in garza is asking the one's top code to order these randy ministry to withdrawal from rough on to allow the unimpeded access of humanitarian aid into the strip. so hot fix this case as it is, rails assaults on roof, it gives rise to new facts that are causing irreparable homes to the rights of the palestinian people. it goes on to state that it refers to similarly destroyed, though the left of gauze, or of the prospects of the survival of palestinian life in the te

both the state department late to the white house. once again stressed that a military operation profit would dramatically increase the suffering of the pl listing and people in would lead to an increase in loss of civilian not now israel's been carrying strikes in the guys and city of rafa, even though us the us and other countries had a warrant of a huge risk to palestinian civilians and i that any indication of what the americans feel about israel's insistence. on proceeding with the operation there is indeed frustration, but washington is now still waiting for an official is rarely a response to this new proposal. earlier today, president by judge department is done. it's on yahoo! against launching and offensive in the solvent, gaza city, a for alpha, and the spoke spurs of the national security council. john coby sat president by and reiterated a clear stance on rosa, but offered no details on what a clear stands would actually mean, or if there will be any consequences if israel goes ahead with a broader attack on rough as was

i suppose really, mike, that's what we're also seeing is a state department. it was supposed to deliver a report to congress only as well as use of weapons. it seems but that it hasn't happened twice as well. let's be very clear on that. what actually happened is that a national security memorandum was issued way back on february the 8th in terms of which the white house directed the state department of the department of defense. the to get assurances from those to whom it was providing width and that these width ends would be used in accordance with the rules of full and international humanitarian concerns. now, direct report in terms of the memorandum is due to be submitted to congress within 90 days. 90 days is 24 hours ago, so that report is now delayed. the state department spokesman saying that it will be delivered to congress with incoming days, perhaps even a by friday. however, the fact that it is delayed pays, this is great to pressure on the state department because the contents of that report absolutely critical. for the 1st time, you are going to

and by the way, another piece of information from the state department of the united states of america has been published on their website about the investigation, and according to this investigation, according to this information, it became known that russia has used repeatedly over the past two years. on the territory of ukraine, at least on the front line, chemical weapons, and these are not isolated cases, which is referred to in this messages, probably dictated by the desire of the russian troops to dislodge the ukrainian troops from fortified positions and achieve a tactical advantage on the battlefield, this is a quote from the state department's statement, and they used... chloropicrin, this is a chemical element that is now prohibited from being used during hostilities, its was used even during the first world war, and it is somewhat similar to something like a tear gas, but worse, in a word, it is prohibited, and the russians used it and at the same time repeatedly, and then he will come out and say no , no no, this is slander, by the way, he said it today, french president e

and is the head of the n as even led to divisions inside the state, a department, but the state department already said that it will not meet today. so wednesdays deadline to sent this report, it to congress saying whether the us administration spine, the insurance is by the israeli government, credible and reliable. and the spokes person to day only spoke about a brief delay without giving an exec data for the publish ment of this highly anticipated report. what does this move tell us about the us commitment to israel and its goals and the war to this new desertion isn't the latest sign of growing risk between both and governments. but there has been a number of allies in a biden's democratic party and congress that it for weeks and months have urge them to limit or hold on shipments to israel, something that he has refused to do until now. and the fact that the washington finally, it dates so shows a big the frustration is among the administrations in washington here, that there is a really con deposit, not hearing the warnings about the us against the major operation in brooklyn. menu w

they speak for themselves, they don't speak to the state department or the united states government. that has always been the case. they're independent actors when it comes to the n. s m a. i don't think you should take a delay of a few days to speak at all to our commitment to compliance. so they're an asset manager in law or to writing a thorough report that will, that will look into all of these questions. we're committed to doing it and i think it is a bit. i think it's a bit silly to suggest that it's very short delay in any way undermines that commitment. that's what it is on. but i, i know i'm going through the examples of a month by one. but that said, our overall messages that we are absolutely committed to the upholding of international humanitarian law. we have made that clear, and that is the case when it comes to israel is this case when it comes to every country, anywhere in the world. we expect every country to comply with international humanitarian law. and we have ongoing processes inside this building to look at those very questions when it comes to israel's conduct

i think that of course the state department i talks?tment will be looking into see who the next crop of officials in the islamic republic will be. but i don't think any us officials will be under the illusion that the policies of the islamic republic on the fundamentals of its nuclear programme, its regional policy will change, it won't. the irgc reports to the supreme leader, and the supreme leader remains the constitutional commander—in—chief. so yes, i think they will be paying attention to biographies, particularly in the succession progress —— process, but there's very the united states can do to affect that supreme leader's succession contest. i think they willjust leader's succession contest. i think they will just be planning contingency scenarios with regard to what happens after khamenei dies. and it will be important for the state department to engage in robust public diplomacy targeting the iranian people, and speaking and supporting their aspirations for an end to the islamic republic, speaking to them as opposed to the cle
