has with them what do you think of israel's role in syria. israel is the main element in the process of destroying syria it actively supports the armed opposition especially in south syria which is close to the occupied golan heights. the un has provided factual evidence that there were three thousand militants retreated in israeli hospitals also movements have been tracked across the border between syria and york by there is a palestine hundreds of times that's how the militants received supplies i mean another raid. in addition to that the israeli air force delivered a number of strikes on the positions of the syrian army and its allied forces fighting in those areas this is how israel wants to change syria to change its policy but neither israel nor its allies will succeed. this is why recently when the agreements in creating de-escalation zones in southern syria has reached two different russian the united states israel began acting crazy as some of its demands to have hezbollah and iran's presence removed misery a school left unsatisfied

in syria jordan realized that it was necessary to open the corridor between syria and jordan as soon as possible in order to gain economic benefits and subsequently political benefit. c.s.c. . also after its unsuccessful participation in the anti syrian project jordan was forced to take steps to ensure its interests of the whole film stuck in the last week we saw that hezbollah defeated darawshe in the mountains of the moon area and they sent them to do as or this caused a big issue doesn't this just move the problem of guards from one area to another. and people say we should never negotiate with. what's the position of has a lot of this as well hostile fee. in towns across syria the infrastructure of our ministry and i saw has been destroyed this deprive them of the opportunity to continue fighting but they surrendered. and we along with the lebanese government wanted to hold negotiations in the means of surrender because eight lebanese soldiers were missing let me out and we did not know where they were alive. we intended to save them and a situation arose where we were able to le

a unified iraq is far better for the iraq unified syria is far better for syria we believe you know this notion of dividing. of countries like this will only serve. will only serve to minimize the capacity of the iraqis as a country. i believe that. arabs in iraq can work together and come to if inclusion where you know the kurds feel they have their own or one way or the other. we would. sometimes a little but i think dividing country is it's only you know a few willing the conflict in the region i believe a unified iraq is the solution. i've heard you say many times that has is not the main force in lebanon it's certainly not the main player it's not controlling the country and now it's heavily involved in the syrian war is it easier to deal with them now that they're destructive with their pro or anti isis complain i think you know we should understand that assad regime has tried to survive all these years from the only reason he's did survive it's because of russia. maybe our other players playing with the regime but the main force that was able to stabilize. syria was the policy of

now in syria america's goals have changed. they before wanted to get rid of president assad and now especially since trump they say the focus is defeating dark. do you think and this is made hezbollah and iran stronger in syria will america accept this long term you think america for sure that saudi america has suffered a defeat in syria there purty was to remove assad from power and to change the regime but their plans collapsed on many sides. the military presence their support of opposition forces and regional cooperation with the arab countries that wanted regime change in syria to serve israel's interests but now america has changed its policy this policy now avoids direct confrontation with assad because they simply cannot afford it. they understand eisel which they supported is acting against syria and against the us how can the us support a militant group which they cannot control and which does not do what they want that is why president trump decided to focus and fights nicely but this didn't mean he became an assad

we do realize that it's a very special day for syria and the people of syria then a few hours later this is something that happened within the last forty or thirty minutes or so we heard the confirmation from the russian military and now with the actual details of what's been happening on the ground the blockade was being broken are emerging we're getting statements by the russian army getting bits of that information from the defense ministry and it looks like the islamic state terrorists around the errors or were planning to regroup or they were forced to regroup and they couldn't do that. thanks to the cruise missiles that were launched from russia's frag it asin in the mediterranean you can see the pictures of these cruise missiles flying into the air so first of all this strike. essentially. state plans to regroup but then also there were many many things destroyed in that attack there were some high. hideouts underground tunnels many artillery. units depos in the actual. i guess we should call it personnel the fighters of islamic state we cannot call them personnel perhaps terroris

and he believes it could signal the end i saw in syria. first of all it almost destroys ice is present in this area it means that ice is no longer has any big cities to stay in i mean after that as old you've got the town of may deem and then you have a book come out which is on the borders after that there's no real cities left in syria for isis to be held out and so it will naturally go back into a into a into an insurgency there's no longer any big areas where isis controls in syria there is always a huge significant victory not just for syria but also for russia because since it's intervention in two thousand and september two thousand and fifteen the u.s. the worst of all watched and wanted the intervention to be unsuccessful would have wanted these efforts against i still to be undermined but we're looking at this two years on from. syria with russians or ford has absolutely obliterated isis in many of these areas from power mirror to certain to their resort and essentially we're facing now the end of isis in syria and this is been d

what could be the end of war of syria or the beginning of the end of the war in syria because you know still there are you know adlib which is where the other organization like al qaeda and not sort of are situated there so i believe those. syrian army capture and i believe the preparation for the war. on its way so it could be a matter of weeks maybe days told to recapture again so yes this could be the end of i says islamic state in particular and they lost the mosul which is the biggest city in the arab they lost their also there they lost a lot for now i believe that could be the time to lose actually erica in sealed is the syrian democratic army now in and the art of of. so i'm not surprised if that actually the syrian army will break up and recapture it again liberated and that is that seat in the flag on the top of its building i think it is it is that turning point now and i believe isis in a way to lose its presence and most of eastern syria. it is a major turning point. how do you see the future of syria if we can look just a bit further i mean beyond deisel because you know

what israel is doing in syria is it another act of aggression. israel occupied the golan heights it would have been right for it to withdraw from the room heights and all other areas in focus instead of claiming that it israel protection by territories bulk buying more territories in syria. i believe that israel as much as shortsighted. major powers must support israel's occupation plans and missions less than israel behaving this way indicates. i expect that the people of the region will not let israel get what it wishes. by more last this has to be stopped and the occupied territories have to be liberated . here's what people have been saying about rejected and this is. the only show i go out of my way to. the really packed them. all over a party america is doing the same we are apparently better than. i see anybody would ever heard of redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously sent us an e-mail. it's seemed wrong but old rules just don't hold. the world to get to shape out just comes to the ticket and engagement equals betr

to anyone who wants to buy oil inside syria there's very little or that otherwise syria so that's all inside yes it's still an income source yes it's still the most. if an income source of eisel but it's no longer a problem whether it's sold across the board as the volumes are simply not there anymore what has happened is with the shrinking of the territory right is of course the budget of ice is shrinking. and that is this danger to say ok the budget devised shrinking the problem getting better what is always left out is of course with the shrinking of the territory you have less spending of myself so yes there is problems but i see house with payments of its fight as yes it's a squeeze budget but as everyone can clearly see it's still enough to put up with quite a sea supply in both countries now in one of your previous interviews you predicted that as the sort of internal sources all financing at being squeezed i still will get increasingly more financing from abroad from other countries do you see those predictions playing out on the storm right so what we've set in our assessment

unity of syria. the syrian government reaffirms its commitment to the geneva process and that the further progress on that track this process has yet to bear fruit in the absence of a genuine national opposition that going to be a partner in syria's future. and as countries with influence over the other party continue to block the meaningful progress progress. it's a truly unfortunate that these countries that block a solution in syria are members of this international organization including permanent members of the security council. of. the syrian government has always insisted that any solution in syria must respect serious and non-negotiable principles. which are a better line for all syrians. and this includes. the complete rejection of terrorism the territorial unity of syria and its people. and their rejection of any external interference in political decisions regarding syria's future. only syrians have the right to make such decisions whether now or in the future. mr president you know. no on

when it comes to syria. can there be common ground between lebanon and russia when it comes to that so. i think you know what's important to see. is almost safe zone areas. where they have less fighting. in. syria i think i think is very. real talks between the americans and the russians different parties or countries like turkey like jordan. iran like. saudi arabia so that if the. this is a serious. political solution that is or this is a part of the solution that will prevail in preparation for the solution to come and i think that these these areas are being developed in all parts of syria we agree on them we courage them because you see less fighting less schooling and this is something that would you know. in the hands or maybe. you know it's set up the rote towards a political solution so you brought up the three branches of your government and you different things but you know you don't take it out in the public you deal with it behind the scenes and strew that you know the political system in lebanon

the coalition was trying to seize rocka the for syria could seized heroes or syria has won that battle and. it speaks well for the future of reuniting syria and re-establishing the entire borders of syria i would hope including the go on heights i would hope that we could eventually have talks that would resolve the occupied golan heights and return those to syria so that the nation can be reconstituted well that's what the people of syria want syria something you've kept at the forefront of course over the years as well you have been speaking about it just to get your thoughts senator briefly on the bigger aspect of this high what is the fate of vital in syria affect the dynamic of the of the entire conflict would the n.b.a. inside or perhaps would would new terror groups emerge. well what what it is done up until now the west and its allies the turks the qataris in the saudi arabian have been able to keep public attention focused on isis meanwhile they have protected and armed and coordinated with al qaida which is the group that brought down the twin towers and attacked the pentagon

is in syria because it wants leverage in the region and i mean syria is basically the epitome of how the us has losing the region because it lost really badly in syria it has almost no leverage and one of the reasons that wants to have leverage so badly is because at this point eric is adversaries in this region have one iran and hezbollah and the syrian government and this is the big nightmare scenario for the us is these different forces that basically are against u.s. interests in the region against israeli interests being able to have a land bridge to one another and so the u.s. is remaining in the region the whole purpose of that is to try and stop these forces from being able to work together more fluidly which is basically how it's going to be from now on you brought up israel recently you published a report at alter net from your time in syria titled how a free syrian army unit uncovered the rebels israeli connection and switched sides that's a pretty hot scoop rania can you briefly explain what happened and why it's significant . well this is sort of been an open secret for

those that are fighting others in syria and in the region let's speak. to let's speak now about the situation the day after and let's try to minimize the influence in the future because it's going to be problematic not only for israel i can assure you absolutely and i think there is there is also a keen understanding that in a medium term iran also represents a political and economic competitor for russia in the region but again there is also a realisation that to be a rabbit out iran that you cannot stabilize syria or perhaps the region more generally if you had the away if israel had its way. what exactly would you do i mean is there anything short of wiping iran of the map that would completely. allay iranian israelis concerns what could give you that peace of mind. you know it's a tough region to speak about peace of mind in the return is something which is more than optimism but i will speak about minimizing damages or meeting the challenges so. as i said before let's look at the region form in the kind of satellite perspective and iran in the past

in syria. and a range of other issues that we can discuss. missile development too. >> let me just quickly, to follow up, so a crisis between the united states and iran, which would be precipitated by the u.s. walking out of the jcpoa, that's not something they would welcome? they're content with the poor state of relations as they exist now? >> well, i don't -- that's not the right way to put it. but i think their concerns would not be primarily addressed in any constructive way from their point of view, as i understand it, by a walking away from a jcpoa which is being properly implemented. from their point of view, that would be a net negative because what it would mean is that a restriction on iran would be lost. leverage on iran would be surrendered, and iranian hardliners will have pocketed this reality. they will have done away with the international sanctions regime under obama and had their, you know, had their obligations under the jcpoa removed under trump, all for nothing. all gainin

as for syria. of course. there are some differences we don't agree on every single step of the process so if you take. every country that participates in this process russia iran members of the u.s. led coalition. we have to admit. the abuse of nasa. to achieve the goals and objectives by the set by the security council. sometimes disagree on. which is why there is the astronaut approach says where russia turned a clear and iran as the ranters of a long process. with the participation of the reservists team and. observers from jordan and of course the syrian regime which is the syrian government and the armed opposition are trying to find a common denominator for how to conduct this process and we've had some progress we've created three deescalation. the first one was in just south. which helped by russian journalism in turkey and then there was. and was only in the north and i hope the. next two will go in. we will define the borders of the discussions of zone in. so i don't. believe that we. lose on the da

we do realize that it's a very special day for syria and the people of syria then a few hours later this is something that happened within the last forty or thirty minutes or so we heard the confirmation from the russian military and now.

he has been following the latest developments in syria for us. this is of course the long awaited news on the and the dare as sore blockade we were waiting for the confirmation and first we got it from damascus we saw a tweet from the syrian president he congratulated his soldiers of course a very important day for the syrian army and for the whole of syria and just about an hour and a half ago we got the news from the russian defense ministry there saying that it happened and this was the point when we started to realize how dramatic this military operation was as the syrian army was making some rapid advancement towards the war. to regroup somehow and then came the caliber cruise missile launches bother watching army that were launched from the frag admiral in the mediterranean they destroyed a number of things that were crucial for islamic state their hideouts their underground tunnels artillery units and military depos besides this i can tell you that when according to the russian military the syrian troops were advancing in order for this no

to hopefully the situation in syria would. change we won't iran is a state that supports still as a superpower will and region and as i said before this is almost not only the concern of fees but in the past when we need to the solution seventeen against russia will spot a feat in an understanding that this is that there was the gun he's asian so even though i know iran these being. those that are fighting others in syria and in the region let's speak. to let's speak now about the situation the day after and let's try to minimize the influence in the future because it's going to be problematic not only for you as well i can assure you absolutely and i think there is there is also a keen understanding that in the medium term iran also represents. the economic competitor for russia in the region but again there is also a realisation that without iran that you cannot stabilize syria or perhaps the region more generally if you had the away if israel had its way. what exactly would you do i mean is there anything short of wiping ir

because the syrian army has broken islamic states three year long siege of deir ez-zor in eastern syria russia's defense ministry says the imminent liberation of the city is to be a major blow to the terror group in the country russia has been providing air support for the ongoing offensive. ok we're trying to is back in the studio to talk more about this. any further details that. andrew all got many things to tell you because yes we've got the long awaited news on the breaking of the three years of the dares or siege first reguard confirmation from damascus we saw a tweet by the syrian president bashar al assad congratulated his troops of course this is a very special day for the syrian army for the whole of syria i should say and then a few hours later came the confirmation from moscow from the russian defense ministry and the bits of information that they were sharing with us from that we could understand how dramatic was this final push by the syrian army towards there as zoar we understand that as the syrian army was making their latest advancements mixtape terrorists had to regro

syria paradoxically. come paddies in was a situation like israel and palestine is not a country where i meet a lot of people without hope. everybody. is a very serious situation people have been much more. today . or this is.

all those who are in syria illegitimately. as regards forces that are there legitimately it's up to the leaders of this syrian state to decide that after the political process of time in your mind when we pull off a place they told us you know. we had a timeframe. think in the year two thousand when the middle east quartet adopted the road map said that we should resolve the palestinian israeli conflict in one year it's been seventeen years since that time so it's better to stay away from artificial deadlines for this kind of process it's a very complex crisis and it will take a long time to resolve it. so in your speech before the general assembly you. praised president trump as you said you know laterally. has defended and will continue to defend principles such as sovereignty my question is about the gulf crisis to what extent do you think that the thought embargo. conforms or violates the principle of sovereignty as you talked about it in your speech and to what extent do you feel that the security council ought to do some

escalated how many left leaning people who are not members of the left party went to northern syria to support the kurds isn't this a contradiction what does the left party think about this situation is that what you're. about. we discussed it within the faction and it was a heated debate this is the situation we're facing pacifist cannot condone the use of force but anti militarists and this is an important distinction recognize the right to self-defense i don't think we can tell people you have to figure out somehow isis is at the gates you might die but it's not our problem because we are pacifists as you not accept this reasoning i've never been a pacifist i am an anti militarists that means that in my opinion military force should be a last resort we have our national right to self defense that cannot be taken away we should not abuse the idea of defense in self defense so the defense policy of germany and western countries is a misleading concept we don't defend ourselves we advance the interests using military force to the point of breaking international law or anything. so i

syria paradoxically. parties and was a situation like israel and palestine is not a country where i meet a lot of people with told though everybody agrees. is a very serious situation people have been much more than in any other conflicts to day. eighteen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better and i think they are inheriting whatever my my baby says my book was published in the year two thousand more than home for a million americans have been killed by phones in the us how to thought. this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw it had to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know this but we are not. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market frequent cause of death at that point

groups in syria. why have people been able to reach an agreement. in particular when previously everybody had said they wanted peace but it's taken a long time hasn't it to reach this point what has changed. that is that is actually a change in the move. in the area and each has its own. opinion about it or he was stunned of. a clause that was stable since the beginning of the war on syria that states for the. russian law and a lot of. work folks always asking for that international and most will be implemented and for the pragmatic solution. for the war in syria. turkey changed its position on mr o'donnell may be a doctor and believe. in syria i say maybe because they stood reminding us from part of time of oh. maybe the autumn or windy which drains the land the sovereign lands of syria iraq and other place of torment and. occupying so close to us nobody wants. to go in for military or. revenge for the other groups for. the so-called syrian rebels if all this more that has changed. hopefully it will keep on. going to be finding peace in syria on th

i may the house also on the show more than six years into the war in syria and with bashar al assad still firmly in power is it time for the opposition to admit defeat or was it a mistake for outside powers to back the syrian rebels in the first place that's our debate but first following protest on a legal challenge from the defeated opposition candidate running the kenyan supreme court the presidential election for the first time in the country's history the decision was hailed by some as a victory for democracy and the rule of law that says he won't participate in the reelection scheduled for next month until his demands for electoral reform are met so what's next for kenya this week's headliner from nairobi. thank you for joining me on from the initial results of august presidential election so you losing to incumbent president. by fifty four to forty four percent this week the supreme court said it had a null those elections because they were neither transparent nor verifiable the court also ordered a reelection to be held next month you must be delighted to have another opportunity

i'm in the house and also on the show more than six years into the war in syria and with bashar al assad. thank you for joining me on up front the initial results of august presidential election so you losing to incumbent president. by fifty four to forty four percent this week the supreme court said it had a null those elections because they were not transparent nor verifiable the court also ordered a reelection to be held next month you must be delighted to have another opportunity to run for president yet again. the deeds of the right thing because as you know i know that i did not lose elections i know the one delusions and the results were just manipulated so this is want. an injustice and. did the right thing meaning the evidence before it and nullified those elections former guardian president john muhammad who was the leader of one of the international observer missions in this election said the kenyan election system appeared quote credible transparent inclusive kenya has the potential to be the most inspiring democracy in africa he said at the time he's not the only observer to

had strategic interests in iraq when it comes to syria where the u.s. has fewer interests the turks a few more able to disagree with united states. and also with issues of course on the ground there was so much news brought to bear here in britain to try and persuade the british public to war to aerial bombardment of assyria by the royal air force do you think there is a may that alone the enemies of german corbin as they were bloody know who they support in syria today where it seems that pretty much everyone including the united states britain and france has come to an acceptance that the war is winding down and that the regime is winning and that means withdraw support of the saudis the saudi foreign minister told a delegation recently that saudi arabia is losing interest in syria it's concentrating on its conflict with qatar the two again ians are tired situation it's been going nowhere since march of two thousand and eleven the western powers turkey saudi arabia and qatar have all been trying to overthrow us and syria and they clearly favor trump f

it's seen in syria. to a degree. where does this sort of battle between shi'a and sunni, between iran and its allies and between saudi arabia and its allies, the emirates and iranians. >> the main sunni power in the region -- >> rose: president trump soon after he was elected went to riyadh. >> yes, he did. >> rose: and this was reflected in his u.n. speech against iran. >> the lead table of nations. north korea isn't the first one and to use his words the murderous regime of iran is the second one. but i think most people would say charlie that it's not, it's not essentially a religious fight it's a political fight. it's between the saudi arabia and iran. it's a battle for influence across the region. saudi arabia does feel threatened by what they see they still see it despite iranians repeated denial that they want to exploit the revolution of 19 the. iran under sanctions became the prevailing power in iraq. they see it in yemen -- >> rose: they were bound by religion there. in terms of shi'a has power in iraq -- >

pushed chemical weapons to be destroyed in syria but russia came in and protected syria the oversaw the destruction the chemical weapons and we push came to shove russia came in and protected assad from another us mistake and now the us failed regime change so now that syria has been to north korea sitting there and saying ok you see the pattern here obviously it was going to how do we go to learning. you know with all of this years now exists after the international agencies after the u.n. security fight officially certified that syria no longer no longer possessed chemical weapons the united states kimi and again and that that the syrian air force be saying there were chemical weapons there and you know he wins a little bit of a pretext i think that if north korean propaganda probably would use the same argument as national rifle association in the united states if the sheriff is inadequate the sheriff attacks the city and soon all of the other people who gave up their weapons then let everyone have weapons and this is the logic. is for we know of course i feel russia and china do not

syria paradoxical the. reason was a situation like israel and palestine is not a country where i meet a lot of people without hope although everybody agrees. is a very serious situation people have been much more affected than in any other active conflicts to day. eighteen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better knife. and hurting my babies since my book was published in the. thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by firearms in the u.s. and we had a thought. this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see hill actually got hit by the gun i decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know that but we are not. noisy you are a member of the left party and the spokesman for the defense committee parliamentary electio

two leaders have agreed to push for the escalation zones in syria's labor province. what we're interested in is making sure that the terrorists are finally laid to rest and that we have a stable regime in syria these are principle and fundamental issues for russia and the region and indeed for the entire world what is absolutely fundamental is finding a long term political solution under the aegis of the united nations al-jazeera is under simmons was watching that news conference and he has more for us from ankara . it wasn't a long briefing but judging from what the two presidents had to say there were no major fallouts but no major breakthroughs either they discussed syria they discussed the a start a process for deescalation zones primarily because this involves turkey more than any other country to try to get access to the opposition groups and corp there will be military observers put on the ground there but no real detail was given of any progress on this lot of mir putin said what a difficult situation it was but he believed in the deescalation zones and said

how many left leaning people who are not members of the left party went to northern syria to support the kurds isn't this a contradiction what is the left party think about this situation that. we discussed it within the faction and it was a heated debate this is the situation with facing a pacifist cannot condone the use of force but anti militarists and this is an important distinction recognize the right to self-defense i don't think we can tell people you have to figure out somehow isis is at the gates you might die but it's not our problem because we are pacifists as you not accept this reasoning i've never been a pacifist i am an anti militarists that means that in my opinion military force should be a last resort we have our national right to self-defense that cannot be taken away we should not abuse the idea of defense and self defense so the defense policy of germany and western countries is a misleading concept we don't defend ourselves we advance the interests using military force to the point of breaking international law and anything. so if i got it right you think that

with islamic states territory in syria crumbling the races on to retake oil fields from the terrorists with russian assistance and the u.s. backed forces both closing in. on the u.n. security council adopt new sanctions against north korea after the resolution was watered down from a stronger u.s. draft. you're watching out international live from studio with me in india today welcome to the program protests have turned violent people have taken to the streets in major cities to vent their anger at the president's labor reforms which come into effect in a week projectiles and flares have been thrown by the crowds. so the protests are being held in several major cities like. say demonstrators promised to run for files in separate strikes and almost two hundred rallies across france correspondent joins us live now from paris ali the unions promise a day of disruption have they did. they have in the atmosphere has definitely changed just an hour ago it was pretty jovial i was in amongst the fun fair protesters clowns entertainers and now we've seen projectiles go off flares being thrown a

but this won't be easy because of syria, what happened in syria was turkey and iran found themselves at opposite ends of a conflict. but as i said, turkey is concerned to the extent that it's called it iranian expansionism. so it is a serious problem for turkey. but the nuclear deal itself does not -- whether that is canceled is a concern to see how that broader policy is going to develop. as youmer, in 2010, turkey, as you mentioned, actually, turkey was involved as a non-permanent member of the u.n. security council to try to mind a middle ground between the west and iran, even there was this tehran declaration which ended up hurting turkey's relationship with the u.s. in particular because the u.s. wasn't happy about that deal. i won't go into details, but we had whole debate for six to nine months something like that about turkey turning east, leaving the west, et cetera. that ended sharply with turkey's stationing of the nato radars in the eastern part of turkey. that showed, actually, turkey was justed a concerned about iranian capabilities, missiles and others, like the west,

and with islamic states territory in syria crumbling the race is on to retake oil fields from the terrorists with russian assisted and u.s. by forces both closing in. on chelsea international live from moscow studio with mina due to the welcome to the program around four thousand separate strikes and almost two hundred protest of ends are being held in france today as unions make a stand over the president's labor reforms and city of paris small say nor have all seen large scale action and money on micron had earlier branded opponents of the reforms as slackers and he's sticking to his words. it made it clear. that if you know it. was in paris so polly the unions they promised a day of disruption have they delivered its. own. thing really been galvanized by this to that it may just last week. the cynics in exactly the misleading things we have batted legs. they live mistreats and there seems to be a lot of them living. here we've been with. somebody that was a mistake a fad that everyone here who is very savvy they can't believe the changes to the label that it wants to push through slightly

general assembly remarks on the ongoing conflict in syria. he also called on the united nations to do more for the muslim rohingya people in the r.marked --myanma >> the assembly will hear an address by his excellency president erdogan, of the republic of turkey. [applause] i request protocol to escort his excellency. on behalf of the general assembly, i have the honor to welcome to the united nations, his excellency, president of the republic of turkey, and invite him to address the assembly.
