turkey on on are on opposing sides of this conflict with russia supporting the syrian government of the assad regime and and turkey supporting the rebels the opposition but they have actually been working very closely together i think you could see that today as well turkey at turkey's aired on giving the opening statements and then passing on to what he always calls his dream his friend putin they've worked to get together closely on syria in this format that i mentioned before which also includes iran and just last month month they also signed a deal on a deescalation zone around live there by basically averting a humanitarian crisis there so they certainly are on opposing sides but have been working very closely together in the new element here today is france and germany. and really briefly if you can to keep missing from this summit obviously looking at u.s. and iran will this such will affect the outcome of the summit today well all sides today have been talking about widening kind of discussions. spoke today about the fact that he will certainly or that iran will certainly be briefed a

the key for me that sounds a little bit positive it will work for some time but it is clear president assad has said that about two days ago that the syrian state. will regain its control of it province it might last for for a while it might last months or perhaps even years for the syrian state to regain control of it but it will conquer this region and if the insurgents don't withdraw to turkey they will do it the syrians will do it by force exactly so that's what i'd do what lengths will bashar assad to go to take it back because that is the last area in this country which is in the hands of opposition forces. will take this area back the only the only problem he has is that the russians have an interest in a slow slow moving process and diplomatic solutions and it's probably the russians who stop assad from from starting an offensive right now that is good news at least for some inhabitants of italy because now they have a chance to look for ways out of the country that might be the only chance to human in terror in disaster for many of these people so i think. we have to wait and watch

assad. except at a massive global refugee crisis and tolerated the abuse of chemical weapons. what to say in closing? what's really at stake is -- the theory into perpetual peace. -- doesn't mean world government image in international society where sovereign states cooperate in a zone of law to explicate shared moral human race. what we see evolving is authoritarian series of low influence where there is no truth, and red dictators do deals. and change enemies and friends on a day-to-day basis. someone could say, why do we turn this around? what is the deep truth of what trump is saying?my view would be that his philosophy is wrong.it is not something that will just be a pendulum swing. fundamentally misunderstands the world. our relationship is not zero-sum. globalization can make the middle class better off. immigrants and allies are part of the solution. a fixation on sovereignty ignores what they call the real meaning of sovereignty. why do we focus on bilateral trade deficits? when so

the conflict it's now not whether bashar assad will stay in power or not but. how much interest they can have with any future syria the syrian leadership are celebrating the reopening of borders as a sign of victory in the war as well as stability but that narrative doesn't reflect the whole reality russia says the international community is no longer focusing on making syrian president bashar assad leave power but the west is demanding what it calls a credible un led peace process that will lead to free elections and until that happens it is withholding much needed money for reconstruction. the united states is even threatening what it calls a strategy of isolation if syria doesn't cooperate on a settlement of the war the reopening of borders is a step towards ending syria's economic isolation but a longer road lies ahead to regaining international legitimacy. eastern lebanon. now a government minister in india has resigned because at least twenty women accused him of sexual harassment and assault and was a minister of state for external affairs best known in
