u. s. and nato have got more directly involved since then, and hundreds of thousands of people have been killed since then since the u. s. and u. k. persuaded ukraine to see as boris johnson put it to stop talking to putin and concentrate on defeating him. so as far as i can see, ah, that that basic, that basic, ah, framework for an agreement. nothing, nothing that went into that has really changed. and um, so i think far from being a frozen conflict, the head, the really, really needs to be for the sake of the people of the ukraine and the people of the whole world threatened with nuclear war. there needs to be a genuine resolution that both sides set around the table and agree that they can live with not, not like um, what uminski agreement that the west never intended to comply with. ah, but a genuine resolution that that takes everybody's um, genuine interest. well, that's that, that goes back to the very beginning and, and nicholas before i go to lionel here. so lensky wasn't persuaded. he was ordered . okay. i was told not to do that to you ordering a sovereign country, we are told, ah, not to invoke engage in the process o

u. s. and u. k. bitterly opposed by much of the international community, including france and germany, failed to get a security council resolution to authorize a war. they launched one anyway. and the aftermath one british diplomat, who worked as his country's expert on iraq in the security council resigned. do you think the united nations ended up damaged or strengthened by the war 20 years ago? i think without doubt, it was damaged by the 2nd general at the united nations didn't assert his authority to say that the war was the legal and should not happen. which later, he admitted, i'm, i think collectively the quote unquote un, this sense of a global community of nations. a sense of a shared set of rules took a very big hit as a result in iraq or so where does that leave things now? 20 years on. once again, the security council is deeply divided and there's no doubt that the invasion of ukraine by russia, a permanent member, was a breach of international law and of the un charter. but western dipl

u. s. and u. k. government official position for the invasion was that a rock possessed weapons of mass destruction, but contradictory evidence exist it. david kelly, a breeder scientist, and leading w m. d, expert testified that officials knew the accusations about the arms were false and disputed tony blair's statement. kelly was later found dead. the host of going under ground says, there is a long history of suppressing true narratives and britain if they go against the government. one. it was dr. david kelly, talk to the program. i worked for a day program. he explained clearly that the british government would deliberately me words that the report render gilligan used for the show sex stuff. the information about w m d. and when he later testified in parliamentary committee, he was put under a lot of pressure and he was found dead. but this is a long line of information troubles in britain. we must remember that while at the moment britain may be torturing julian assigned the long history in which any attempt to try to get the truth in britain in the media is suppressed and 20 years on the iraq war. example of dr. david kelly is just one of them. interesting that the family of dr. david kelly hardly speak about the death of the breadwinner in the family. the government scientist nearly 20 is on those that made a lot of money out of the iraq war that killed wounded on displaced perhaps tens of millions in the region and beyond for the effects and after effects of the iraq war . those arms companies are doing better than ever and have the ear of nature. government says we can see in the proxy war against russia in ukraine and as for the people that were actually involved in the plotting and lying to their publics, they obviously have got scott free. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our c dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. was he right back here at the top of the hour? ah ah ah, we'll arby us mister president. welcome to moscow and archie. your official visit is happening in the context of major regional and international transformations. what has changed for domestics? you've been a syria about to start a new chapter mama. can we say that you're meeting with president put in on march 15th was a landmark event. dylan via leone le may be naughty landmark event, but it was an important meeting since damascus is an integral part of the world. todd damascus, influences the world and the world influences damascus. so the question is, what has changed in the world? in recent years, the corona virus pandemic has brought major changes to our lifestyle politics, economy, interests, and shifted the balance of power. then the war in ukraine began li bringing even bigger changes. we live in a changing world. the importance of this visit is based on the fact that russia and syria share approaches to the world that affects us every day. mil melissa, which specific issues did you discuss with president putin series dealing with the aftermath of a devastated earthquake? i yeah. syrians had enough problems already and then the earthquake happened on top of everything. what they can amik and political aspects. did you discuss with flood moore? put it in the kremlin in his he a thea asked for the political aspect of life will not wait for us, so to speak a little if we don't discuss everything, if we don't form our mutual position and a plan of action in time, things will happen fast and the national interests of syria and russia will suffer when we talk about wars, blockades, or earthquakes. the economic aspect plays the key part. discussing economic repercussions of disasters is very important. that's why during this visit, we focus mostly on the economy. and it was a comprehensive, inclusive, and substantial conversation, especially when we discussed specific projects that the visit was scheduled before the earthquake. but the timing is right to the considering the larger political context that includes the turkish issue and other aspects as well as our economic partnership level. and the situation with siri is economy method and had the through not big enough sanctions. some of them were lifted after the earthquake in syria. what do you need now in order to rebuild, sir in cities after the disaster? are there specific numbers yet? syria had been leaving with the conflict for 12 years. and then the earthquake happened. i'm guessing the numbers will be astronomical and look at the deducted how you are right. our preliminary estimates is that syria will need more than $400000000000.00 after the war, and it's just an approximation. the final number might be higher because we still have areas that are not controlled by the syrian government. we need $50000000000.00 to deal the aftermath of the earthquake. again, this is also an approximation. since we haven't yet calculated the damage to residential and government buildings or infrastructure, we need more time to get the final number. but the damage that has been done to buildings and infrastructure by the war and earthquake has more than a material dimension. we have to look at the konami damage as a whole. the economy suffered more than anything going back to your question about what's needed to rebuild the country. sanctions haven't really been lifted. a specific exception was made for certain humanitarian aid deliveries. however, in order for our economy, our industries and trade to grow, we must have access to various products and necessities that people in any country need. nothing has changed in that respect, but syria will be able to recuperate after the war and the earthquake, even without this type of help. because we have all the resources. the problem is that this process is more complicated now, and the cost is higher despite everything, there is progress. unfortunately, we see it only in certain aspects like electrical energy, for example, what the syrian need, it needs the blockade to wind. the thought. so the west is line when it's asked to the media that sanctions have been lifted so that the syrian people can get help. and it doesn't matter if they are areas controlled by the syrian government or not . is this political hypocrisy? every aspect of european politics is built on lies and the west lies about syria as well. if you don't lie, you can't represent the west and i'm not exaggerate. we have dealt with many problems over the years, even when the relations between syria and the west were good. even then there were lies and hypocrisy on the part of the west. and now the same as happy in would the crane conflict or any other crisis. european countries lie, they want to show off their humanity, but it is all fake. they want to look goods in the way they are dealing with the earthquake aftermath and syria so that nobody could call them inhumane. but they never delivered any aid to syria. verbal and cities have also been devastated by the recent earthquakes. it's now secret today that there is a continuous effort to normalize whatever is possible in the relations between damascus and ankara. these disaster has effected both sir. enter kia kit is perhaps give a push to this process and help the 2 countries overcome some disagreements and perhaps overlook some things. isn't the time to do this? overall, i don't think our 2 nations have any disagreements. the problems are caused by the turkish politicians who have their personal ambitions that they seek to pursue by waging a war in syria. that's how it was when this war started, and it hasn't changed until today. so to answer your question, i can see that the only earthquake that could effectively change turkey a foreign policy and encourage the turkish leadership to look for a dialogue with syria under the current circumstances is the presidential election in turkey. there is nothing else that now if you have right also that have been reports recently about your pending meeting with president tuan, mediated by russia and iran as part of the senate process. it is well known that in politics there are no conflicts or alliances that last forever. are you ready to meet with president ad on what are serious goals? in this case, syria's main priority is to have all the illegally deployed foreign troops removed and that concerns mostly the u. s. and turkish troops. they are the only troops illegally deployed in syria. another thing syria needs is to cut all support to terrorist groups, such as terrier sham, alumnis for a front and the likes of them. it doesn't matter what they call themselves. they have one founder that bank rolls them all. turkey a's latest proposal involves a 4 lateral meeting at the top level of deputy foreign ministers, and yet they didn't propose any agenda for this meeting. so no condition and no expectations. so why do we need to go? we didn't set any conditions despite the fact that they are trying to touts in the media that syria is refusing to go and setting some very demanding conditions. the issue of foreign military presence on our territory had been raised before and nothing has changed since it is a matter of our sovereignty. it's not a political issue. we are not accepting the invitation to the meeting because we don't understand what the meeting is for. why we need to go, that's the probl
