conferences here in russia you said that you wish lie to me if we can and his foreign minister sergey lavrov a long political career is the world needs that was them in moderation even if that's your genuine failing donte think you know the long stay in power i'm a in danger of russia in the long run because. the power transition is inevitable one day we all believe this world and. with having one leader even their very popular leader in power for so long don't you think that it will make russia vulnerable more vulnerable when time comes to hand over the keys to the kremlin to somebody else i see what you're getting at and i think you're worried about some sort of personality cult developing around putin especially in the western press by the way not so much in russia but i think also in the western press because much of the western coverage about russia is about putin that's right we we personalize everything and when i gave a lecture in perth i don't know whether it's the you know my website i've got that lecture and i've got the photographs that i put up during the lecture one of them in

let me just sum up quickly what was said by both of the foreign ministers so the lavrov talked about the continuation of russian french dialogue and talked about increasing trade and cultural ties more importantly though there of course talked about syria and the resumption of peace efforts there he talked about the understanding of syrian political consensus to that effort. talked about the russian led daily ceasefire which he says is currently happening in eastern guta but obviously that's been breached already he talked about the wider issues in the middle east in libya iraq and so on and he was very. general in terms of summarizing what he said and short on specifics. who's the french foreign minister he talked about france's dialogue with russia always being open and frank and frankly talked about the ongoing bilateral relations between both countries in terms of syria he said there are three main focus points common objectives implementation of u.n. initiatives an outlook for progress and he talked about the hope of reaching some kind of political solution in syria with all par

second day of the security conference where we're hearing from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov let's listen in. to remember the events of the recent past as the russian historian basically cesky said history punishes those who do not learn the lesson eighty years ago in nineteen thirty eight here in munich we adopted the agreement on the of czechoslovakia which was a sort of a prelude to the second world war and later on your big process. the leaders of the third drake who were tried since you claimed that the goal was to push russia out of europe and then again kate terms you mentioned that would be. a tragedy it reflected all of the pieces of the book that is the belief in their exclusiveness the strife the mutual suspicions and their bet to create descend into a corner and send buffer zones and meddling into other states affairs and those memories are even more worrisome if we would compare them with today with their attempts to a new modern historic truth of the second world war and the preceding events that tempts to rehabilitate to the next season and that. in certain cou

to defined who they are but i want to bring you back to the question of logic of putin's and sergey lavrov along political careers because there is now a rumor in moscow that sergei lavrov for example the foreign minister asked for his retirement several times because as much as he i assume lost his job it is quite tiring there was also speculation that put in wasn't planning on coming back to power or running for presidency again in two thousand and twelve but the events in libya and the murder of moammar gadhafi the disintegration of libya afterwards made him change his mind i wonder to what extent and western policies are responsible for keeping those perhaps not fully appreciated individuals in power for so long well those two room as you mentioned. may be a conspiracy theorist but i suspect the origins of some of those rumors think this is all part of trying to make russia feel weak about. and the information war it's ruthless and ongoing against against russian stability but let me come back. for of what what makes them special i remember even when i was forty seven years ago and thi

it's not blather surely it's something more than that i'm interested what's your thinking on why mr lavrov needs to dismiss this why does he need to get beyond this given what mcmaster was saying at the same security conference it is now an established accepted fact that russia meddled particularly for some people very high up in this us administration. i seeing that russian factor in inside american policy it is not. right but we saw guns throw up international relations relations with russia because of course it is prohibited to interference in tunnel affairs especially electoral process for president over the united states or russian federation and they if they are just such a teen person russian region that they will aiding american law and for all documentation wait game and. inside the united states i see it is or are up to all the american car to decide and to judge them were and nobody in russia will be against because it is punished not only in the united states and in russia too but as i referred to that article in bloomberg. the bank is seven. hours and sixteen while it was in l

well thirty lavrov said today that his government continues to support the resolution they actually argue that they want to see the thirty day cease fire put into effect now as i said before they actually introduce language into the bill which kind of a bill but rather the resolution which kind of we consider a little bit is international allies claim that they've actually intentionally and rather cynically change the language of the resolution to basically give the assad regime the tools it needs to continue to go against the rebels but the position here in moscow is that they continue to support that resolution or the question is when will actually go into effect and right now it doesn't really seem to be any indication that that will be in the near future. ivan tilton in moscow thank you very much for that. at the end of last year russian president vladimir putin announced that he would start withdrawing troops from syria russian and strikes like those from the to name him this in the country's north the dimage of rule in turning the tide in favor of bashar assad's government forces no

the indictment of thirteen russian nationals for election meddling russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has dismissed the indictments as just blather saying there were no facts to back them up but u.s. national security adviser said the evidence of espionage and subversion was undeniable on friday special counsel robert muller charged thirteen russians with running the hugh. social media trolling campaign against democrat hillary clinton it's a. i have no response you can publish anything and we have seen those indictments and i've also read the statements from the homeland security adviser in the u.s. who denied the reports that any country to influence the election results the same was said by mike pence either here or maybe in another european capital so until we hear the facts everything else is just blather. so let's take a closer look at what's being alleged in the indictment isn't petersburg based internet research agency is listed as a major target of the investigation said to undertake an operations to interfere with elections and political processes also known as the troll fac

and even lavrov's words where he was quoting back u.s. officials, it was very weak for lavrov. usually he's up there spewing fire and brimstone, he's being sarcast sarcastic, he's trying to make people look foolish and he had a very short statement compared to other years and he just didn't have the energy there. it was sort of like he was phoning it in. >>> we are just getting to the top of the hour, we have much more to cover straight ahead. we'll be right back. who's stared down the best in her sport. but for both of them, the most challenging opponent was... pe blood clots in my lung. it was really scary. a dvt in my leg. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. my doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®... to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner... ...that's proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. here's how xarelto works. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least six bloo

also russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has dismissed u.s. allegations of thirteen russian nationals run a secret operation to sway the twenty sixteen presidential election in donald trump's favor in response u.s. national security adviser master said the evidence of espionage is deniable. and a court in pakistan has handed four death sentences try man convicted of raping and murdering a six year old girl a killing that led to widespread national protests. now yemen is facing a new health crisis after years of conflict already dealing with severe malnutrition and a cholera epidemic people are now dying from what's thought to be bird flu kathy lopez had reports it's exactly what yemen's already overloaded medical teams didn't want to hear a new outbreak of disease a growing number of people have died with symptoms similar to bird flu and doctors say dozens more could be infected. and there are subtle was when these patients arrived they had influenza symptoms like breathing difficulties and acute respiratory failure they also had a high fever.

definitely this will reduce that human casualties among those people russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has claimed that there's a decision from asian campaign underway he says it's targeting the syrian government first of all it's want to hear exactly the words of lover of. words are being planted in libya by chlorine allegedly used in eastern good news outlets are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you we've been warning about such great stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the white helmets a provocative organization with a history of freak reports especially when it comes to chemical attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with the single girls to blacken the syrian government make using it evolves towards violations and work. so we've seen in the worldwide media claims of hundreds of civilian deaths some reports of chemical weapons being used what do you think what sergey lavrov has said is the mainstream media being balanced in its coverage definitely of it is that deliberate campaig

emily: well, i think lavrov's call for dialogue clearly, to me, seems to indicate russia will be taking an active role in that dialogue. after all, they have been kind of keen to present themselves as the mediators in syria on the international stage. they have a certain sway over both syria and turkey, particularly over syria, a long- term ally. they presented themselves with the peace talks they have been conducting last year. is the mediator, they really want to get out of the situation. as dorian said, an escalation in afrin would be a nightmare scenario. sarah: emily sherwin with the view from moscow. thank you, emily. elsewhere in syria, the rebel-held suburbs of damascus are under siege. government forces have been pounding the area since the weekend. independent monitors now say the shelling tilde more than 250 people in the last two days and that syrian defense, known as the white helmets, released this footage reporting to show survivors of shelling carried out earlier today. the u.n. is warning the eastern -- warning that this eastern area could become the second aleppo. let

but syria's ally russia denies the assad regime is behind the chemical attack foreign minister sergei lavrov says the reports are an attempt by rebels to provoke fresh fighting in the. book with. their only goal is to bismarck chen to demonize the government forces to accuse them of all possible deadly sins and military crimes in order to continue actions in the eastern regions. russian president vladimir putin's demand for humanitarian pause offers hope of a much needed rest bite being eastern. or as if anyone expected to make a difference today the european union joined the united nations in calling for an immediate cease fire across all of syria the use of foreign policy chief to recommit greeny said that europe remains committed to pushing for at least a wall in the fight the weapon in europe's disposal tonight writing letters. we expect full and immediate implementation of the u.n. security council resolution that was just adopted in new york i would send a letter today to the three foreign ministers of the three got a ton of process russia to iran to ask them to as that of dollars of t

sergey lavrov saying rebel fighters must act to make any truce on the ground work -- that they should stop blocking aid and the evacuation of civilians who want to leave. take a listen. mr. lavrov: russia, together with the syrian government, have announced humanitarian corridors in eastern ghouta. it is time for the rebels and their sponsors to act. the militants entrenched in the area continue shelling damascus, walking aid deliveries, and preventing evacuations of those wishing to leave -- we call on the members of the so-called american coalition to also allow humanitarian access to districts of syria under their control. anchor: america's disarmament envoy has announced there has clearly been a history and relationship between north korea and syria when it comes to chemical weapons and missile activity. in the last few moments, a syrian envnvoy at the u.n. conference has said syria cannot possibly be using chemical weapons, it is it simply has none in its possession. those comments come on the back of a new york times report which says that u.n. it's have found proof that pyongya

as for russia, russian foreign minister sergey lavrov, dismissed. >> russian foreign minister sergey lavrov saying, quote, you can publish anything, until you see the facts, everything else is blabber. >> yes, sergey lavrov also said and also pointed to some comments he sad had been made by vice president mike pence that no foreign powers had had any influence on the actual election results while not acknowledging that russia had not done anything that if an action doesn't have any consequence, then there's no foul. now, the russian foreign minister made the comments at the munich security conferences, biggest conferences in the world of foreign policy. he wasn't the only russian diplomat there. we also saw sergey kislyak, that name should be familiar. he was russian's ambassador to the united states an his name came up on daily basis early on in the discussions of the allegations of collusion between russia and the then trump campaign, he was the ambassador then and he said about the indictment that he doesn't trust the accuracy or the truthfulness of any report that comes out of am

that the syrian army is following the ceasefire but militants are not even though foreign minister lavrov has called upon armed opposition groups to comply with the ceasefire order in eastern good at tuesday morning to allow civilians to leave the district but moscow says that civilians can't leave the district because militants are shelling humanitarian corridors now are also spoke about this particular topic she thinks that all of syria should be a humanitarian so not just some corridors i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area that russia cutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the un security council resolution of the cease fire was agreed upon unanimously in the security council and it applies to all parties except isis and al qaeda so maybe the u.s. should focus on peace efforts instead of criticizing russia but now it's russia bashing took another interesting turn whe

what is mr lavrov mentioned there have been a number of reports on alleged chemical attacks in eastern gives the opposition medics in syria say a child has died and a dozen more are being treated after another suspected chlorine gas attack we also have received the book or its. possible or suspected chlorine gas attack that's been fresh reports of a chemical gas attack in the area this boy and the men with him are we're told victims of a chlorine attack. the chemical attack reports emerge soon after the u.n. security council unanimously adopted a resolution on saturday calling for a thirty day ceasefire across syria this is hoped will allow for injured civilians to be evacuated and the much needed aid to reach stricken areas a number of terror groups such as islamic state al-qaeda and the latest incarnation of al nusra are excluded from the green mint and forces operating in syria are allowed to continue anti-terrorist operations however despite all the efforts the truce does appear to have little chance of surviving is more against the expects. thirty days of peace ceasefire of course

as mr lavrov mentioned there have been a number of reports of an alleged chemical attack in eastern. we also have received reports a possible suspected chlorine gas attack that's been fresh reports of a chemical gas attack in the area. while a political science professor maggette bought rosters say that terrorists are staging provocations to disrupt the ceasefire it's naive to say we have to stop the violence overnight and cease fire overnight simply because all the parties involved have interest to continue on with this violence terrorist groups have instructions can lead to violence. terrorist groups in this day of this they are so desperate that's why i can't believe that. they can use chemical weapons as the last chord on the table. the resolution adopted unanimously by the un security council on saturday calls for a thirty day cease fire across syria this it's hoped will allow time for injured civilians to be evacuated and for much needed aid to reach stricken areas to a number of terror groups such as islamic state al qaida and the latest incarnation of al najwa are excluded fr

the ground in syria there's not going to be a ceasefire without russia russia of course as we heard lavrov you know trying to sort of deny having a lot of control over the syrian government but without rush's pressure on president assad he's not going to stop the assaults on eastern goodenough of course you have russia at least saying it's going to take action and stop some of the bombing on civilians but it remains to be seen whether these letters whether the same sions on new syrian officials have any impact at all i think everybody just feels helpless russian president vladimir putin earlier today this twenty four hour humanitarian pause in the fighting in eastern huta which is supposed to begin to morrow has there been any reaction in brussels to the well i mean this is something of course that federico mcgreevey and the foreign ministers are calling on russia to do first and foremost to implement the u.n. cease fire completely and immediately which would include but now russia says that it will establish humanitarian corridors and that it will oversee safe passage of civilians however

hundreds of civilian deaths some reports of chemical weapons being used what do you think what sergey lavrov has said is the mainstream media being balanced in its coverage definitely of it is that deliberate campaign i noticed for example as a journalist that there is no mention at all of the victims in the other side nobody mentioned talked about charles you know kind of shows of so called does of the curb at the masters. the u.n. security council resolution regarding yemen that was suggested by russia has been adopted unanimously on monday russia had vetoed a draft resolution that condemned iran over actions in the war torn country r.t. samira car reports. russia's draft resolution has passed unanimously in the security council today they met to discuss the ongoing situation in yemen and to vote on two rival draft resolutions one proposed by the u.k. and the other by russia of a u.k. draft resolution called for quote additional measures against iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo now this came after u.n. experts said in january that iranian military equipment was brough

now it seems russia is trying to balance all three sides in this conflict and in fact you know sergei lavrov one of the other things that he said there he said that situation can best be resolved by talking between ungar and damascus so very clearly not wanting to get in the middle here but ultimately. russia controls the airspace don't they over a friend so can they really avoid this here well i think that you know the lover of call for a dialogue clearly kind of to me seems to indicate that russia will be taking an active role in that dialogue as well after all they've been kind of keen to present themselves as the mediators in syria and on the international stage they have a certain sway over both syria and turkey particularly over syria a long term ally and they've also presented themselves you know with these peace talks that they've been conducting last year as the mediator they really want to get out of this situation and as durian said an escalation in africa would be a nightmare scenario for moscow families share when with the view from moscow thank you emily. elsewhere in syria the
