participation in israeli strikes in syria. this is not a classified report, i'm just curious as to describing what you know about those strikes. >> all i can tell you what i know about open sources, because we weren't privy to any classified information. i will say that from the outset. but it's been clear that the israelis have focused on striking systems, trying to prevent the iranians from creating a sort of missile network inside syria that would allow them to create what the israelis would call a second or third mistletoe missile, surface to surface front, against them, from iran. when it comes to support, we want more diplomatic support, political support, i don't know of any actual technical or military support we may have or may have not provided, but i think the idea that we are not asking the israelis, for example, to back off their coordination with russia, we are not asking them to back off these strikes, because we see these as, frankly, probably the only way so far that iran has been successfully deterred in syri

he had won basically over isis in syria and little u.s. troops would be coming home from syria was costly and misleading. it was misunderstood by everybody it was misunderstood person and made it clear at the time to us and to other leaders that he wasn't losing the bubble as we say on the fight against by. which you recognized could. constitute itself nor was he. losing interest in syria he said at the time a that the united states would maintain its air cover over the not be that u.s. special operations personnel he made this point very clear publicly in all the all assad air base in telling the president and secretary of defense are you going to let me finish so. that we continue to deploy special forces troops into northeast syria to go after isis if they started showing signs of a threat it did cost him the resignation of his secretary of defense and my predecessor in the office that deals with can be combating this. because they disagree with the policy and quite a lot of blowback from the congress senator lindsey graham said it was

the matter is about a unified syria and i think how to rebuild syria how to make a new state in syria a new democratic and stable a state which would have got out of the order that i told everybody was the being here in syria no one can see that the excess that interventions which had been inside syria are going on think that rights civil rights and the human rights of the syrians not is this not in syria what about direction direction so if the rationale that nations and their best and i think relative. or working together being governor the people position and make all guns be silent decide all guns and do our together in a peaceful way in a political way and i think this is a bit a good. introduction to write a new constitution for the county in which we must find put it together delusion and the police get an answer to all the questions which had been evasive and lost is the difficulty years from the life of syrians this very day i make this point again now how confident are you that the current governments and their representatives will be willing to compromise so will be really

for an international tribunal for syria. oh. but i wanted to apply pressure to try to convince the security council. well i would ask do you want to do something or not. do you want justice for the victims or don't you do we want this president to be brought to trial. like. that even if he's 55 years i worked on it hoping something would happen but nothing did. with the heat. so i left i was frustrated i had really had enough. to get over. the un security council has long been divided over syria good pointers as the be top hours russia and china opposed establishing a tribunals so what's left to the nation states to try to bring individuals to trial in c.t. in the house. we don't have an international tribunal for syria but the national courts are at least getting some of the lower ranking perpetrators and that's good this is good so german authorities are free to investigate suspected war criminals in syria if the suspects are in germany they are in fact required to do so under german law. we continue our efforts to track d

how to rebuild syria how to make here and your state in syria a new democratic and civil state which will go to the order that i told everybody was the binge here in syria no one can see that the xterm that interventions which had been seeing inside syria done and thing that hates civil rights and the human rights of the syrians not being there the star in syria whatever direction directions out the direction other missions and they're better and i think now at this moment poor or working together to being governor the people position and to meet our guns be silent or silent all guns and door together in peaceful.

iran and syria as well as u.n. observers so there was from other countries actually should be noted that iraq and lebanon joined the pool of observers. in 2018 a so she took place in. you socially that was a national reconciliation dialogue congress which resulted in an agreement to create a constitutional committee which should establish the modalities for the future governmental architecture of syria now we should start the work of this process in geneva. because the list of the people to the man this committee has been completed we continue our uncompromising fight against terrorism in syria the most alarming is the situation in the only discolorations. the lives own where we've recently seen a spike in terrorist activities these days collations own should not be a harbor for extremists of all kinds and it should not be a foothold for them to carry out provocations. together we should apply more afeard to. root out the threat coming from the liberties collations. and of course we are very much alarmed to see wha

in syria establishing peace in syria. we should all take more responsibility. and this is the time to do it. the hoped for political solution the panels on our heads. summit in ankara is going to bring a new breath to a stand up platform. today's meeting. we have spoken about. the situation in the east of. the north freighters and the progress we have done so far politically also the syrian refugees. we are going to do a general ever ever liberation about the subjects and we're going to determine our next steps and this will be beneficial to. our country. our country has always been with our syrian brothers and sisters during their hardest times. to this point 6000000 syrians who are escaping from war torn country we are welcoming them in our country from education to health all the syrian refugees are. in the humanitarian in human condition so we are not. we are working hard on that the all the branches and. freighters shields operations we are. fighting against terror. in jobless and up in africa in the places that we have established peace. and 360000. syria

a reality is that prolongs the war terrorists are waging against syria. mr president his policies whether and or in northern syria and its political maneuvers may undermine all the achievements made in. and turkey cannot claim to hold syria's unity and territorial integrity or while at the same time it is the 1st to undermine them. if turkey is truly committed to the security of its borders and the unity of syria as it claims it must choose whether to respect their understandings and the bilateral agreements on counterterrorism to secure the borders and to withdraw its forces from syria or to be the aggressor the occupier. and to face the consequences. of the safety of the borders of one country cannot come at the expense of the security of sovereignty or territorial integrity of neighboring countries. mr president. along with our fight against terrorism we have been committed to moving the political process forward because we are participating in the as stand meetings which are proving effective and we welcome the outcomes. of the syrian national dialogu

participation in the strikes in syria. it's not a classified report and i'm curious to describing what you know about them. >> all i know from the open source is because we were not privy to any classified information i would say from the outset they focused on trying to prevent them from creating a missile network inside of syria that would allow them to create what they consider a second or third missile to missile service against them from iran. there is more diplomatic and political support and i don't know of any technical support that we may have or may not have provided. bui think the idea that we are t asking for the example to back off the coordination with russia were to back off the strikes because we see these as the only way so far that iran has been successfully deterred in russia. sanctions can play a role and political pressure can play a role but it seems to me they are prettarepredetermined to entrenf as deeply as it can throughout the region in lebanon and iraq and elsewhere. >> property i and the public

in the national sovereignty of syria and the territorial integrity of syria and also. the 3 leaders of these 3 great countries of the region also believe that the fighting terrorism should continue. as a sterile and under the control of the terrorists and unfortunately over the last few months the presence of terrorists including the. front has even increase until when should the syrian people. wait. to see the annihilation of terrorists. and wait for. and see the people becoming different just not as 9 years not sufficient for the now last 9 years the syrians have been suffering from the presence of terrorists and we know who is financing these terrorists and who is giving them the finances and who is giving them weapons and who has a kept them and find us them and the result of which is so many innocent people have been killed in syria. it is necessary that we fight the terrorists including an adlib and we have the syrian government and also when it comes to the east off your freights antenna which is controlled by the americans. and a group of terrorists are also th

but to syria. in internal conflict yes you have views on how this war will end a very different from those of your victory trumpeting president i mean in may you told congress experiences in any gun light excuse me we'll probably see several other pathetic sorry and much broken ceasefires that will eventually slow down the conflict that for us is what victory looks like in this war but it's it's worse than that isn't it because the people you would see as the bad guys are winning. they continue to announce cease fires and. the cease fires continue to be broken down but in the last 13 months the regime has taken almost the bad guys if you will has taken almost no territory other than the area around. khan shake in and just south of it live now we're very unhappy about that because we think it indicates that the regime is thinking again about a military victory and is being supported by the russians told us this will be a major theme at the u.n. general assembly the russians can deliver that victory

ground the ongoing war in syria they're dealing with one thing which is a feature constitution for syria and i can tell you skeptics are concerned that once this constitutional committee actually starts work it will take a bit of time to get everyone to geneva it may well go the way of previous peace efforts in geneva which are just got bogged down and have in the end failed and most observers believe in every case in the past that's because the syrian government hasn't really wanted them to succeed and has told paedo those efforts and also james i do understand that you've managed to have a bit of a chat with the iranian foreign minister zarif and he's given you a little bit more detail as to what that proposal is for more security in the gulf . yeah well as ever a touring this week when you've got so many world leaders in town the focus is supposed to be on climate today but important developments on syria important developments coming from iran as you say the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif invited a small group of reporters to breakfast and try to flesh out the proposal

of syria. how. that we all sort. or that it was ordered that apart from that that leader is so very concrete are you convinced that. drago against terrorism. still in the hands of military unfortunately in the recent deprive themselves terrorists and putting that you the new strain this regional cable and increase its only crude in. no. way and for how long people will have to wait. for a bit terrorist to be the royal to be alarming nato and on wednesday syrian refugees will be able to return 9 geary's at least to adults that are not in now and will need to. check out saw in total you saw all this time the people of syria have been the suffering. he has changed he was giving them one arm so he's giving them weapons who are providing them as that would not do it that results in baghdad at all between the sunni civilian it's so. that the weekend on fighting terrorism. and. people with 10 if. the problem see. this soco eastern us who. is turning bankrupt you fret is the region that is controlled by americans and by the.

if i was it going to influence your action in syria. what are your forecasts regarding the worth of that committee. when it comes to the new constitution of syria how much time is it going to take given the u.s. presence on the ground in syria and i would also like to ask in that context your opinion about the u.s. presence in syria thank you very much. i don't have on. more than top a lot to. ask. you how. no do stone gushed over the aspect so security on the aspect of trading the refugees is so on rebuilding become entre and regarding the political roots of the ask for a political aspect we have 2 main fundamental matters in a choose that we're talking about 1st of already forming the constitution and you call me. on when i see bastille you ask for a map itself. a constitutional challenge. we had that as discussions in the street guard starting from the big congress that plays in saatchi and then was sold as protests has been going on since then. we did participation representatives of the opposition the finally we know the. company a

stop the bloodshed you know in syria. the syrian people and their leadership you know to attend their wounds and try to rebuild syria would be really appreciated the tragedy of the civilian population you know is something that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible we don't hear much about syria from the british government which wanted to overthrow the assad government of course but i've got to ask you then obviously that yahoo the elections in israel today is the anniversary of the subbranches massacre we've just been showing our netanyahu of course close adviser and colleague of ariel sharon's do you see his remarks about the alex ation of the west bank further an exaggeration maybe it's already defacto antics do you see that as part and parcel of the kind of atrocities in sabra and shatila decades ago of course you know we remember you know with. pain and. sadness you know that that atrocity and the massacre that have been committed against our people in the refugee camps of sabra and shatila. this is a dark cha

mom have right i'm heartbroken when me fled from syria he was still a small child. now they have sent him back to that place. and i don't know where he is. istanbul's fattish district is an area where many syrians live many here heard that the turkish authorities have been deporting refugees in recent months and most of them are afraid that they could be next. when they started sending people back i was so scared i didn't leave my house. you know i am but they are live and there are more restrictions on us now people are being deported back to syria we can't escape turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous. we syrians used to feel welcome here in rio we learned it's changed a little bit and we're only now we feel like unwanted migrants again. turkey has taken in more refugees from syria than any other country more than 3600000 people in the space of a few years hundreds of thousands live here in istanbul they've set up stores of breast wrongs they've try to build a new life while turkish society initially responded with more marketable resilience hospital

the matter is about a unified syria and i think how to rebuild syria how to make a new state in syria a new democratic and stable a state which we got out of the order that i told everybody was living here in syria no one can see that the excess that interventions which had been inside syria are going on seeing the rights to the rights and the human rights of the syrians not this star in syria what about direction direction so that the rest in other nations intervention i think relative. or working together being governor the people position and make all guns be silent decide all guns and do our together in a peaceful way in a political way and i think this is a very good. introduction to write a new constitution for the county in which we must find put it together delusion and the post get an answer to all the questions which had been evasive and the last is the difficulty years from the life of syrians this very day i make this point again now how confident are you that the current governments and their representatives will be willing to compromise so will be really willing to negot

that the next 6 summit on syria will be held in tehran and which means. questions to come back to you thank you lot to take in there our tease maria fanaa reporting from ankara. the biggest one day jump in oil prices in almost 30 years is playing out on markets right now the term fall is the assaults on sunday right because all infrastructure over the weekend the united states came to iran is directly responsible for the attacks on the state run refineries tantrum says the u.s. is locked and loaded and ready to respond to the incidents terror on denies the allegations and rule out the possibility of talks between mr trump and president rouhani which were once on the table. reports it's not even been a week since the famous move starch was shaved off the face of america's foreign policy if you know what i mean but even without mr bolton someone else who's actually in charge of diplomacy has tweeted the u.s. will join efforts with allies to ensure their rares held accountable for its aggression and there's plenty of other hogs to explain how supposed to be.

to syria have returned more than 390000 refugees what 1000. at or so many people moved to the holy land hope the international community. his profile agencies. will also contribute to the humanitarian assistance for more waited assistance in the restoration of infrastructure destroyed by the war i later supply water supply schools and hospitals of course such support should be provided to all the syrians without an a discrimination politicization and spoil american dish and their colleagues i'd like to express sarod certainty that our. productive the agreements will help to finally regulate the crisis in syria to restore the peace safety security in this country and to strengthen its sovereignty. territorial integrity unity will contribute to the securing stability in the near east as a whole thank you very much. with my dear friend. i like to thank him very very much i hope thing is going to bring fortune no i'd like to. give permission to. members of the press plane. we've been watching their news conference live from ankara where the leader

government not to go back in syria and work or face u.s. sanctions the jordanian business association says it was briefed by u.s. officials earlier this year about the cesar syrian civilian protection act the proposed u.s. law which would sanction any non american providing construction or engineering services to the syrian government it's passed the house in washington and is up for debate in the senate race over the who could help in rebuilding syria so far we would not be in. good to see you. tender proposal from the savior but differently jordan a contractor would be more than happy to help in the structure of syria while intended to punish syria's government for attacks on civilians u.s. sanctions actual or threatened are crippling syria's ability to trade and rebuild and the potential for companies in jordan to make money by helping repair and rebuild their broken neighbor and or chapell al jazeera among. 3 top executives from the japanese firm which operated the fukushima nuclear plant have been cleared of responsibility for the 2011

gritty of syria with the demand that is very much turkey's demand or the advocation of the y.p. g. or the kurdish syrian movement which is now supported by by the united states and also of course this discussion that if we secure as on a stretch of 30 kilometer we can have 2 or 3000000 people returning that's very unrealistic because these 2 or 3000000 should really in the name of justice that calls for should return to where they've come from that you cannot just return them to this border areas to be exposed for for potential future conflict but one important point i think you made about syria is the threat of. and as as you know throughout the conflict as they were resolving issues in one area moving to the next develop the fighters to withdraw into and now with that has become a very dangerous mix of. fighters who have a real cause to fight for a mix of terrorists and some extreme groups and that could provide the pretext for the syrian government and potentially others to act against them and that could lead to a huge wave of displacement into turkey again and having said that

the fight of hezbollah in syria this will be this will not go without retaliation. retaliation is to reinforce the ability in the border not to give israel a free hand to attack lebanon any time the promise came from hezbollah and hezbollah deliver on that promise i think we can we can leave it there or the israeli now they can act elated but really today it is in the hand of the israeli where they want to take it i think if they want to take it very far i think hezbollah is ready to take it very far. he has been making all the preparation for any retaliation. everybody knows that. probably people who follow that. back would happen any minute and it did happen today. and i think now the israeli have been chanting out there. probably. a lot backgame from but 3 i'm afraid this is can go beyond those. adjacent. any mistake in the confrontation right now this is will take us to 2006 a place that we shouldn't be there very briefly are we saying that israel was always going to react in this way and are we saying that when house run . goes on his t.v. channel because that'

syria so for all the criticism that people might have about the golan heights israel is keeping not just israel safe but it's helping to keep it safe what israel did in my book and try to shrink by taking out a nuclear reactor that bashar al asad was building together with north korea and destroying that reactor built inland near the euphrates river in a region called heroes your rich in 2014 was taken over by isis imagine for a moment that isis got its hands on a nuclear reactor a nuclear material a nuclear weapons this would have been a nightmare for the entire world israel saved the world when it took out that nuclear reactor back in 2000 so i mean i should say i'd be did there is or i want to say to her that presumably russian turkish iranian officials will say far from helping isis day yes in syria it was israel it was britain it was the united states that was defacto helping those islam is groups and their support for the overthrow of assad of syria that's absurd that's completely absurd not true israel to not help isis israel its participation if at all in the war in syria wa

the leaders of russia turkey and iran have wrapped up their 5th summit over the situation in syria and how to help the country's future our correspondent maria has been following the talks in the turkish capital. it has been a very busy day and now the feast on the trilateral summit on syria is over here and karen before that the leaders of turkey iran and russia had a tete a tetes and definitely they had a lot to discuss and these time the talks focused on 3 major things 1st and number one was the situation in syria is no than province small of the the it is a very huge area that is believed to be home right now from $2.00 to $3000000.00 people so it is also conceded to be the last remaining stronghold of anti government forces in syria including. moderate so-called opposition and also al qaida like islam is a very dangerous terrorists very hard to deal with not along negotiate with so of course of the 3 leaders and 3 countries and syria and other regional players and outside players have been facing this big challenge how to get treat of terrorists and this is something all the 3 lea

is confused about its policy in syria. i think it's up to mines on the one hand it continually asked syria not to move ahead and conquer this area which would cause all the al-qaeda affiliated and jihad as groups to be destroyed at the same time as it's picking off these groups it's worried about the humanitarian. consequences of syria's recapture of this region it doesn't want an outflow of refugees its allies saudi arabia turkey israel do not want syria to be strengthened. and the united states wants to roll back iran so it wants to weaken our side as much as it can but at the same time it wants to destroy these jihad ists but it doesn't want assad to destroy them so it's a it's a bit of a confusing policy i'm assuming of course this is own where the turks want a buffer is the american zone it's the 30 percent of syria that the united states controls with its allies the syrian defense forces which are largely kurdish and anti turkish so turkey does not want them there it doesn't want the united states there it doesn't wa

something you syria human the govt should. do you don't want just so going you're doing so at your doctor's gone. down the road to the doctor who they would lead you to the goodwill gesture of someone that's a muslim national if there was i'm not they're not. going to give you what you took just. because it's a job. good value just because i knew. the normal stuff and go but did you worry mr good about those. blasted the key plus the radios. this is known village anywhere near moldova the eiffel tower is just a few kilometers away. your charity out of. the street no one has speaks french to. all these hardworking people came to france seeking refugee status. in pursuit of welfare rights and the opportunities france gives to refugees.

arming rebels in syria. the little affair with the serbs was far from a one night stand type of deal for the u.s. they shipped tens of thousands of munitions into syria drowning the country in arms for years we've worked to stop the civil war in syria and all the leave for human suffering we wanted to reach out to syria for industries remember the american company that initiated the deal with the serbs and imagine our surprise when we found out that the company barely even exists it has no listed phone number no email and just 5 yes 12345 employees not exactly a shock. as a footnote the pentagon and crews are here to give us a comment on the other cases meantime from a british army officer charles shu bridge told us there's no reason to doubt the authenticity of those leaked documents. it's an impressive piece of journalism by any standards i think to produce what share the traveler she's produced and apparently convincing evidence if these documents are genuine and so far at least there's been no indication

journalists hit back after being criticized for visiting parts of syria controlled by the country's government anytime there's anybody visits i government or the syrian government side and offers a realistic perspective they can expect to be attacked what we've been able to see and report already has threatened the narrative that's been conveyed by western corporate media. plus to help solve a decades old mystery artie's video agency ruptly launches a special projects running the strange deaths of a group of hikers in the old mountains 60 years ago which spawn countless theories as to just what happened. you're watching are to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. senior u.s. journalists are once again fighting over russia with one t.v. network now suing the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda they are trying to house the story. here comes a familiar voice which becomes even more familiar if we hear words like russia or russian the most obsequiously approach trump right wing news outlet in america really

turkey can't host more refugees from syria we've reached our limit. all our young turkish people are dying while fighting in syria but what do young syrians doing they just sit around here and smoke shisha is this fair and right. we have to take care of the refugees they're muslims like us it's our responsibility they've lost their homes their savings and on are we have to help. to do that in turkey unemployment is a big problem a lot of young people unemployed even university graduates can't find jobs we should take care of our own citizens 1st then we can look after the others so you are upset that i now see signs in arabic everywhere i think we've started to lose our national identity there he said so some mixed responses there about what you do here among some is you know a sense of fear especially a sense of fear that more refugees might be coming and what that will do to the society how it will impact what do you make about you know the potential for addressing some of those fears i think the scenario that we're going to see inside if that is th

well when we're talking about the war on syria the war on terror in syria being a done job it's mainly talking about isis now when we look at the al qaeda elements of whether it be. the turkistan islamic party or whether the h.t.s. or the other minor groups operating in there both turkey and russia have talked that they need to. dissolve and disband these groups or destroy these groups in that region in this is something that president putin and president have been working together through the many meetings whether it be bilaterally or. the very next meeting is going to be actually september 16th where these matters are probably going to be felt much more thoroughly between both leaders joined by the iranian president also hasan rouhani now the united states has not shown great interest in the terrorist activities in libya mainly stayed to the east of the euphrates so these recent airstrikes the one yesterday in the one about a month ago raises the question why all the all the sudden interest in what's going on in the northeast especially at a time when the syrian regime had announced
