we started to use them in syria. we had crews from russian defense enterprises that fine-tuned those weapons. they were out there in syria, and they saw how those weapons were used, and they realized how it could be improved. a lot of generals and army officers were out there in syria, and they realized what a modern military conflict is all about, how -- what are the best ways to coordinate the efforts of the airspace and our air force and navy and ground troops. helped us to modernize and upgrade our military. >> talking about our new weapon technologies used, talks about this new development, during your address, recent address, there have been publications saying that -- [inaudible] still going and not as always effectively and not productively as we claim. can we confirm that we have these technologies already used? >> during my address, i said that in 2004, we began development of new systems as a response to the unilateral withdrawal by the u.s. from the abm treaty. and i mentioned the system. it is a missile

and it's best to destroy them in syria and find them he here. we also help to stabilize the situation in syria to save their army and government who control territories where 90% of people live. large-scale common operations involving russian forces and they are no longer used so the situation has moved to the political stage and that is what we have been working on and our military is outve there and they have two bases in one [inaudible] and the other is the other airbase and it's a treaty we signed with the syrian government so it is all legitimate i and in line with international law. our military are there to protect the interest of russia's interest in a vital region of the world and they will stay there as long as it's beneficial for russia. again, they are there in line with our international obligations so we're not planning to withdraw our russian units but again i would not call them permanent basis. these are without building infrastructure so i don't call them military bases but temporary [inaudible] and we would be ready to restore

is the name of the game you see lots of vectors i mean how many armies are there now fighting inside syria for example it's very difficult to mediate in these circumstances but. everything set so i wonder isn't more to make prevention. but i already have priorities to do evidencing to the restaurant was a phone three and levy seemed to create the conditions for communities to pretty eight the level of tension that leads them to conflict but you are absolutely right we are far from being successful because these world no use of the sequel to all the complex worlds where we have a multiplicity effect in the multiplicity of spoilers creating a vulcan so many ideas with the enormous suffering of the people well secretary general let us take a very short break now we'll be back in just a few moments states and. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press this is what before three of the more people. interested always in the walk out. usually when we have brought about a situation real

>> i did not go to syria by jordan. i have not been to syria since 2011. some people have gone as a journalist but i've done my interviews with people outside. i began with one contact and another and one person would introduce me to another and i would do that snowballing social movement or social networks but i do not to any of my interviews inside syria. i wanted them to be open spaces where people can talk frankly about some oft the most politically controversial issues. i found saver to do that outside. >> thank you. >> would you talk about your writing process? >> as i said the steps of the process one is doing interviews , too is transcribing them and three is having hundreds of thousands of words of material and i used a software called [inaudible] which help with things into categories which is a fancy software that makes color-coded index cards and began to look through the interviews and see reoccurring themes. talking about what was like before 2011 about fear, silence, informants and about the fear of political imprisonment and corruption and

its attempt to try indisposed to defeat i said has been using overwhelming force particularly in in syria and also in mosul in iraq the find is now of amnesty international to what extent could the change the rules of engagement in the near future if the coalition meets similar situation in different places amnesty and. reports that they had that if you had dozens of people each one of them told what. was with them and their families many people from their families were killed and the one being of the. coalition and the cats still in front of these witnesses who saw their families. being killed so there are people killed there are someone who killed them the u.s. led coalition so to do what very thick a shingle doing need now other then this witness and this proof from the u.s. led. war planes or artillery or missiles or other things so i mean there is the necessity for an inquiry mission in order to put an end of this bad conduct during the war. draw that the syrian army is not there to. what they're called for to amende and the conservation and some of the fight the shores to leave the

they were out there in syria and it was best to destroy them out there in syria then to fire them here. today the syrian army in the syrian government control 90% of people, where they live. large-scale combat operations involving russian armed forces are no longer used so the situation is moving to a political stage and that's what we've been working on. again, our military is out there and they would have two bases. there was a treaty we signed with the syrian government so it's all legitimate. it's all in line with international law. the military is there to protect the interest of russia in a vital region of the world that is really close to russia and they will stay there as long as it's beneficial for russia, and again they are there in line with our international obligations. were not planning to withdraw our russian units, but again i wouldn't call them permanent bases. we are building any long time infrastructure. i think for the military bases it's just temporary installations and we could be ready to withdraw our troops in a prompt way. so far while they're there, they are p

have you been paying attention what happened in syria? iran has fired a drone in her airspace and rockets in the first time in 40 years. i ran directly buyers rockets from syria into israel and we responded to that fire. the steel was bringing conventional war with iran much closer and it wasn't a question of this could happen decades but it could happen is for now. and also give them the clear path to nuclear arsenal. right now the decision the president made makes everybody safer who wants to oppose iran in the region. they will have to make a choice of what they will do now and i believe the right policy is a policy of crippling sanctions combined with credible military threat and we will never allow a regime the calls for our annihilation to achieve and obtain, develop the weapons to achieve that goal. israel is committed to providing it and i think everybody is clear about that. i think the united states is the clear that the never allow iran to get nuclear weapons. not now, not five years, not in ten years. the iranian people take p

do so that's why the others do it for instance i'm sure like for americans russia crimea or russia syria is the same thing as americans going to libya or iraq or afghanistan for that matter but really it's so much different because russia crimea is like united states and florida and russia syria is actually really handling immediate threats of homegrown terrorism extremism right next to a border it's not a will or over the ocean for us you know everywhere for america and war over the ocean that has nothing to do with proximity of your borders so do you feel like americans they actually see these one assessing russia's actions no differences as an american actions are from russian actions whether it goes all the way back to the second world war and the feeling of vulnerability to repeated invasions from germany from the west and the need that stalin felt to create a kind of buffer zone of allied countries all the way to the present and what happens in church you know what happens in syria in afghanistan how those terrorist threats are russia americans have never fully appreciated the jew

the solace of syria was subject to. a deal between the jordan russia and america that was decided on in september of last year and it was confirmed during the summit between fourteen and trump last november and now this is a serious breach of this deed and at the core of this he was training in the presence. is that iran demand was that iran has to be. forty to fifty kilometers from far from this border this is the core of the deed and today this back to will decide that you're reigning in the presence and its capability to engage with since day one you're on was trying to change the rules of engagement. is rare so now russia is russia testing that ability of america to defend this d. is it trying to test that readiness of that effort as a all or that is a deal that has been already. decided on and russia which. according to which iran will withdraw from that is that i.e.d. border and in exchange of that russia is the claiming that this will be on that at this point all let's just say what do you think is that sammy see

you do so that's why the others do it for instance i'm sure like for americans russia crimea russia syria is the same thing as americans going to libya or iraq or afghanistan for that matter but really it's so much different because russia crimea is like united states and florida and russia syria is actually really handling immediate threats of homegrown terrorism extremism right next to a border it's not a will or over the ocean for us you know everywhere for america and were over the ocean that has nothing to do with proximity of your borders so do you feel like americans they actually see these one assessing russia's actions no difference it's an american actions are from russian action whether it goes all the way back to the second world war and the feeling of vulnerability to repeated invasions from germany from the west and the need that stalin felt to create a kind of buffer zone of allied countries all the way to the present and what happens in chechnya what happens in syria in afghanistan how close those terrorist threats are to russia americans have never fully appreciated the j

the revolution started seven years ago our wives and children are dead syria has been destroyed how can there be reconciliation only over our dead bodies refugees from the fighting a fleeing into this highly sensitive area bordering israel and jordan. the border to jordan has essentially been closed for the past two years so there's not a way that they immediately can pass into safety in neighboring jordan jordan has already taken a huge amount of of refugees but that's not really an option right now aside wants to take back control of his country after aleppo and eastern the fear now is the battle for dura will bring get more suffering flight and death. are reform or are now we turn to all over our correspondent monitoring the situation from neighboring roots a very good even fifty thousand syrians displaced by fighting and neighboring jordan says you can't come here why. well jordan already has seven hundred thousand serving of eugene's and every third person to me that is by pledging to be a palestinian cause that's because of the insurance shared history now there is a huge bill tha

i ron has to leave syria. that is a great danger for us. what iran is trying to do, is put a noose around israel's neck. they already have through -- hezbollah and lebanon, they have a terrorist organization armed to the teeth, 100,000 rockets, more and more sophisticated weapons, they have a forward base of operations against israel. what they are trying to do, is establish a permanent military presence in syria. iran is trying to establish a military presence in syria, and another forward base used to attack israel. they want to essentially create a land bridge that would stretch from iran to iraq and lebanon -- from toronto to tartu's, in the mediterranean. i don't know if this is true, historically, but, the last time the persians were in the mediterranean, was probably in the time of alexander the great. i don't know if you actually want to have that happen, with a regime, that hates america, and been at war with america for the last 40 years, from the beginning -- they told you what they were all about, at hello, when they took over y

in northern syria. what i want to say to my government is bring us back this still goes back just bring us back to germany. for children twenty three square metres of space but things could have been worse there is enough to eat and drink and nonstop cartoons for the kids no war no terror sandra traveled to syria because she wanted to live according to sharia law as a recent convert to islam she didn't feel like sept did in germany nor did her american born husband a friend of hers in iraq suggested they come. she said me covering this law mixed. she sent me videos and it was very beautiful he was how you can if you use windows so yes maybe it's. around thirty five german women and their children are waiting in northern syria to return home their fates are all very similar. left germany in twenty fourteen friends brought her to rocca via turkey she gave birth to a child and found work in a shopping center. for two years it will send him full time so much play and everything. and. yeah there was everythi

syria which has no pres. sense of hizbollah shiite militias and iran and not only that not allowing iran to build a major ballistic missile facilities because we cannot allow the iranians to build missiles in lebannon or in syria and give it to the hizbollah and they use it as proxies against us this is something that has to end we have exposed you runyan face now and they should be up front so far the iranians have been very very methodical and very very sophisticated i would say very conniving when they were behind all the proxies they were willing to fight until the last possible amen or the last assad man or the last shiite militias now we want to see the iranians in the front and this is where i think when their interests are going to be harmed when their people are going to be at harm's way i think this will perswade them to go back to their territory and about their territory in great integrity of syria i'm sure that israel and russia are talking together all the time and i'm sure we see things most of

syria which has no press. of hizbollah shiite militias and iran and not only that not allowing iran to build a major ballistic missile facilities because we cannot allow the iranians to build missiles in lebannon or in syria and give it to the hizbollah and they use it as proxies against us this is something that has to end we have exposed their you runyan face now and they should be up front so far the iranians have been very very methodical and very very sophisticated i would say very conniving when they were behind all the proxies they were willing to fight until the last hizbullah man or the last assad man or the last shiite militias now we want to see the iranians in the front and this is where i think when their interests are going to be harmed when their people are going to be at harm's way i think this will perswade them to go back to their territory and about their territorial in great integrity of syria i'm sure that israel and russia are talking together all the time and i'm sure we see things most

i mean in syria now on syria up until say you know the drought it's over now the kurds have cut a deal with bashar assad it's over and drums of changes policies because when it comes to doubt we've been having here a thing where russia has been accused on a regular basis in the british parliament of assassinating people in britain well that's the case is sort of falling apart there's been some reporting from europe and i should say the book says you get all the. w m d contexts for stories for decades now you've. got to be india for example there was a story and let's get let's get to the let me just say this there was a story in the press where syria was using chlorine in. the endgame in the isis and you know this spring there was an endgame. and there was a story that they were using sarin gas in korea together and so here's why hellman set foot. in the fifty's koreans are very volatile gas and it's of great interest to the it's not a lot of work for egypt and there was a story just the other day about syria drop the u.n. report going to drop this chlorine gas bomb there's no such thi

they never had to fight their way into syria. they had to a little bit in georgia, and that was quite embarrassing for how many combat losses they actually lost to georgian air defenses and their own air defenses. so -- >> actually, i'll tie into something that dara said. they've actually announced -- they have put more than 40,000 officers through rotations, through syria. this includes the leadership of all four military districts, all of the combined arms armys and their air force headquarters. so they are really pushing -- most of their combat pilots, as well, all of the transport pilots have had syria time. so they're leveraging that as a combat training experience, without question. >> eric landis, kentucky. is there a specific focus area or region that the russians are more interested in, in potential aggressive actions like the baltic stakes, latvia, estonia, those areas? or is it more towards -- is there focus more towards syria? >> so if you look at the new units that they have created, the new divisions since 2013, so

and the ugly side of business french cement joint charge with complicity with syria in a crimes against humanity. this is your business update on ellen on free glad you could join me georgia banks u.s. division has failed the second round of the u.s. federal reserve's annual stress tests now a test was pasta by thirty one of the thirty five banks examined shareholders all continuing to question the overall health of germany's number one lenda share they've taken a tumble as the bank's new ball struggles to bring the bank back from the brink. georgia banks u.s. division had passed the first round of the stress test the quantity of section that measures capital levels against a severe recession in the second qualitative round of the test however the fed cited three critical deficiencies for deutscher. weaknesses in its data capabilities revenue and loss forecasts and its internal control systems. the message from the fed the us army suffers from poor management. the report comes one month after the us deposit insurance regulator added the lender to a list of problem banks. germany's flags

you do so that's why the others do it for instance i'm sure like for americans russia crimea russia syria is the same thing as americans going to libya or iraq or afghanistan for that matter but really it's so much different because russia crimea is like united states and florida and russia syria is actually really handling immediate threats of homegrown terrorism extremism right next to the border it's not a will or over the ocean for us you know everywhere for america and war over the ocean that has nothing to do with proximity of your borders so do you feel like americans they actually see these one assessing russia's actions no differences as an american actions are from russian actions whether it goes all the way back to the second world war and the feeling of vulnerability to repeated invasions from germany from the west and the need that stalin felt to create a kind of buffer zone of allied countries all the way to the present and what happens in chechnya what happens in syria in afghanistan how close those terrorist threats are russia americans have never fully appreciated the jew

against syria's government began seventy years ago now it's fair. eight may have international implications it has a very important strategic value for israel because it's about its north ern border the un warns the situation could turn into a humanitarian crisis many of those who try to flee now have nowhere to go katia lopez so there jaan al-jazeera. and al-jazeera correspondent tom else well they has this update from the jordanian side of the city. well. the cease fire announced friday and i mean not only held for a few minutes there's been uninterrupted shelling across billy just south of syria namely in the eastern and western countries sod's of daraa province according to eyewitness accounts we received the areas were all residential homes and makeshift hospitals which is no longer operational as a result of the intense bombardment as we speak we can still hear the shelling a true massacre took place in the town of possum in dars western countryside the ceasefire collapsed in this town where residents of neighboring areas have taken refuge ove

russia china syria many other countries make the miller claims after unfavorable votes but none of them ever walked out of the council simply because i think most of them realize that they're not limited to one single issue they devalue the council is broader do you take this american of a troll to mean that the united states at this moment of time doesn't care about anything else but israel now look. the u.s. position is not always been the same the us was all that it can mean was going all to gain which means that there is a balance in the american public opinion and in the american institutions the going on the party the. party that is in. different attitudes in addition to the human rights council so i don't think we should generalize these i think this is a very specific area where we have always seen the u.s. . position in position of position in so let's hope that in the future the u.s. will come back now speaking about the nature of that criticism i know that the other one cover to sell a alstom has just submitted every quarter very critical of trump's president tranced tax over

i mean is syria now on syria up until say you know the drought is over now and you see the kurds have cut a deal with bashar assad it's over and drums of changes policies because when it comes to doubt we've been having here a thing where russia has been accused on a regular basis in the british parliament of assassinating people in britain well that's the case is sort of falling apart there's been some reporting from europe and i should say the books as you get older you start researching on w m d contexts for stories for decades now you've. got to have do you have for example there was a story about let's get let's get to the let me just say this there was a story in the press where syria was using chlorine in. the endgame in the isis and you know this spring there was an end game and there was stories that they were using sarin gas in korean together and so here's why hellman set foot. in the fifty's koreans are very volatile gas and it's of great interest to the use. not a word for it and there was a story just the other day about syria drop the un report going to drop this chlori

five squadrons of the iraqi air force some sixty at craft were flown to to syria. make up for losses sustained by the syrian air force so wolfish you can see some maturity in the iraqi prison sort of the syrian pilots up tied for the bottom even the most his then how come pilots from iraq are up for the fight why the syrians are reluctant to leave base so it turned into a competition to carry out their missions and he did watch what he said. with the arrival of the participation of iraqi forces in the war the jordanian army was now straining at the leash. have a happy if. it was very embarrassing for us i mean it embarrassed of making the same a lot because there were two arab countries who had territory occupied in one nine hundred sixty seven and jordan was a third arab country whose territory ha been occupied in one nine hundred sixty seven but those two other countries are fighting to regain what they lost while you're not i remember i attended one of the meetings in held with the military and i saw how much pressure they put on him to go to war. but doesn't gi

million euros to jihadists including the so-called islamic state to keep a factory open in war torn syria a plan to continued running long after other french companies had pulled out of the country investigators say the payments were considered a tax in exchange for which militants allowed free movement of the company's staff and goods inside the war zone the company's complicity in the terror group's activities were uncovered by human rights groups. the only company to remain in the region to spite the region being controlled by the us far she didn't take necessary measures to protect the safety of the employees of a syrian subsidiary people were abducted there were kidnappings there were murders also law forces suspected of having financed the i.a.s. and thus a terrorist enterprise. according to paris ordered la farge to hand over thirty million euros as a security deposit ahead of the trial it has charged eight former executives with financing a terrorist group and endangering the lives of others far said it would take legal action to get the charges dropped insisting that the company

we have done a lot of favors. >> lots of moving parts and pieces inside syria. you have israel, iran forces, hezbollah, russia, the syrian defense forces, many moving parts and pieces and bashar al-assad is looking to take a step up with russia by his side, and it is not going to happen. secretary mattis said he doesn't seem the united states leaving syria until diplomatic efforts are won and we are not there yet. jillian: the pentagon released a statement saying, quote, any interested party and syria should understand attacking us forces or coalition partners will be a bad policy. we are there. nothing has changed. you mentioned bashar al-assad never felt the force of the united states. do you think he should? >> i don't think the us for policy purposes is interested in getting any more involved in syria than they are. we have to thousand troops working with syrian defense forces to fight isis. that is our primary role in syria, to destroy isis and then a fantastic job the past couple years of doing that is i don't think the us is looking for anymore involvemen

well to syria now where civilians have been killed after government helicopters dropped barrel bombs on the southwest and city of daraa the air raids of part of the government's assault on the region which is one of two major areas still held by the rebels thirty people have been killed since last tuesday helicopters also dropped leaflets warning of an imminent offensive any attack would violate a truce which was brokered by russia and the united states to try and reduce the violence how much on june fourth. the bombs kept falling villages struck from the sky as government forces continued their advance attempting to take over the city known as the cradle of the syrian uprising. in violation of a truce that was brokered by russia and the united states in efforts to bring an end to the seven year war for its part the free syrian army remains defiant announcing the establishment of a central operations room in the south of syria. well us are to let them know that this is the power of decisiveness and the victory of truth of a falsehood the hysterical bombing with all kinds of heavy wea

don't think it's very likely that they'll be any change there and similarly i think in the case of syria i think we can expect more belligerence from the united states there's a while yes he's doing a good job on korea when it comes to the middle east i think it's that he's being more belligerent than his predecessors you know michael is it because trump doesn't really care about the middle east he thinks let the israelis and the saudis figure it out for him because north korea is that his nobel prize that's him that's all about him he's taken this he's taken on board i mean it seems you could do in terms of doubt way because i mean his behavior in the middle east is in my opinion just disastrous go ahead michael before we go to the break. yeah i don't you and i have disagreed on this before appear but smart people can do that sure i think the is his embracing of the arabs against the persians if you can go back to the ancient descriptions is trying to move the geo political center of the middle east back to the arab side away from its hungry and and formally aggressive neighbors and i t

but out of fact signaling his displeasure with syria charles de gaulle tickets. within days of the departure of the last palestinian fighters lebanese president elect bashir gemayel was assassinated. breaking the american brokered agreement israeli forces moved into west beirut under the pretext of keeping the peace. is really is accused the p.l.o. of leaving two thousand of its fighters in beirut's refugee camps the charge was a fabrication. the israelis quickly encircled the refugee camps and brought in their allies from the christine lebanese forces militia. on september sixteenth one thousand nine hundred two dozens of lebanese forces militia men entered the some branch of the refugee camps. we knew of course that the israeli had surrounded the camp and we also knew that in the night that flares was there that the campus was lighted up we saw it from from distance and after i remembered that night it was very strange it was so quiet it was like a ghost town and we didn't realize that inside this ghost town was the killing and the shooting. under the watchful

syria through syria over on a surprise it was pretty noisy in the capital as a night stopping some people from good. a good night's sleep and among them cept blatter who served as a fever president for seventeen years he said his impressions of the tournament with as early. as you arrived last night did you manage to get much sleep with all the revelers out on the streets of moscow you see after the big tree and domestic big three of russia. until four o'clock in the morning a doctor tell the it's impossible to sleep but after birth was good but it was a wonderful to witness the arrival this second victory of the russian team qualified to for the next round and everything is over now it is actually it's made it a very very open to a very open group a and it's always a good thing isn't it when the host nation as a world cup has such a good start for me this was the element of it this was the best start ever because it's my eleventh's world cup. i was in the very actively.

advocating the creation of the so-called sunni stan which with comprised certain parts of syria and iraq what do you think about this idea even if it has a chance to bring a he said have you had the opportunity to talk both with americans and russians on this issue and that i believe is the central used to preserve the territorial integrity of syria and other countries in the region to to try now to do some kind of new psych speak will in my opinion would be a suicide move now there are certain issues that are absolutely central to the un a legacy one of them is the palestinian territories it was the united nations after all which ratified the partition of the palestine which allowed for the creation of israel alongside an arab state the promise that was never granted and i think that is now actively sabotage do you think the palestinian still have a reasonable hope of seeing their own state and when it be more moral more honest to tell them you guys go and build your life somewhere else no i don't think does it that is acceptable i am a strong supporter of the two state solution i don't

the revolution started seven years ago our wives and children are dead syria has been destroyed how can there be reconciliation only over our dead bodies refugees from the fighting a fleeing into this highly sensitive area bordering israel and jordan. the border to jordan has essentially been closed for the post two years so there's not a way that they immediately can pass into safety in neighboring jordan jordan has already taken a huge amount of of refugees but that's not really an option right now assad wants to take back control of his country after aleppo and eastern ghouta the fear now is the battle for dura will bring get more suffering flight and death row and for more on the situation i'm joined now by correspondent on tell for us she is monitoring the situation for us from beirut welcome to you and i just like to begin by discussing the situation for those refugees that we've just heard about tens of thousands of them displaced by the fighting we heard about jordan's border being closed so where are these people to go and how dire is the current situation for them. well the si
