the syrian foreign minister. the syrian minister is addressing the united nations at the general assembly let's listen and even you would order. fuelling k. use and war and that you need to get international and how many laws. and opposite forces that work tirelessly to create a more balanced secure and just word. one that respect the sovereignty of states and the right of people to exercise set for determination and build their own future. as we meet again many people continue to pay dearly and sacrifice the lot use security stability and livelihood. as a result of the policies of certain countries. those countries fourthly believe that they could use terrorism as a tool to satisfy their greed and for the the ill conceived agendas. which does not serve the interests of any people not even their own. people has suffered at the hands of a terrorism more then the syrian people. the syrian people who for six years and now has poured against terrorism pouring from all over the world supported by part is very intense

syrian army says that it's now breached the islamic state blockade. just a few districts are going to be liberated in the city perceived by terrorists for three years. his newly appointed ambassador to the u.s. meets with the american president in washington we look at what challenges the diplomat is likely to face. in an exclusive interview given to germany's foreign minister suggests that sanctions against russia could be lifted if proper troops in eastern ukraine is established. you're watching international. the syrian army says that it has broken islamic states blockade of the military airport in the city of. you know the latest pictures we've been getting from the ground. and as a result of this advance the syrian arab army was able to join forces with troops stationed at the airport for the first time in nine months the latest advance of the rush about forty days after they ended up missiles hold on residential districts in the city the end of the three year long siege of dairies or is considered a major breakthrough in the recent anti eisel ca

army offensive backed by the rest is that of the syrian army is now being referred to as the syrian army is no longer being called the assad regime and so on so the pejoratives have gone out of a lot of the western coverage of this at this stage of the conflict which is a very positive sign that the west itself is ready to resolve the the war on the on the basis of syrian sovereignty it is that mean bashar assad will stay i mean i know a long term thought on this is that you know the chippie new elections the syrian gov or syrian people should choose who they would like as their leader but looking at sayings from syria today bush out of that has a lot of support it wouldn't be surprising to see him stay oh no no to no surprise at all in fact they. want. it was really damning the international community's efforts to resolve conflict in syria was the insistence on the removal of president assad now. you can argue with whether the president sounds a good leader a great leader a bad leader a whatever the reality is that he is the syrian leader and at some stage this is going to have to

arab republic and the syrian arab army so all those people who wrote off the syrian military three four years ago have been proven incorrect again it's important to realize there is or is a very tribal and sunni part of syria they have always supported the government so the siege was there because the local support of the government and not the terrorists that were in the region and now they're being reconnected to the capital and the heart of the government and apart from military strategy just morale play a huge part here too because i suppose when government troops see that they've actually broken through a siege of it been there for three years momentum is very much with them but for i still of course it's complete complete opposite. for for the massacres in the syrians it's a huge boost because the. big sea people are believing how to mouth for weeks it was very hard to survive with air drops by the syrian military and the russians as well to help out on a managerial level and then of course for the others isis and the terrorists it's a huge defeat it's a series of defeats that the

army and syrian army. bases and groups and so the point is that there is this relationship that isn't often discussed but it's pretty open at this point and it's really it's a dirty game the israelis are playing at the border but i suppose it's also a game the u.s. isn't playing in syria since the beginning viewers can see more of your reporting on alter net's gray zone project we appreciate your reporting from there ronny and also your time this afternoon your evening thanks so much. this morning attorney general jeff sessions announced the trumpet ministration will end the obama era executive order known as deferred action for childhood arrivals or dhaka he called the program which has provided sanctuary from deportation for nearly eight hundred thousand young immigrants quote an unconstitutional exercise of authority ahead of this decision several hundred demonstrators gathered in front of the white house right now to hear the announcement and the reality that this is something that is devastating for o

president we saw it in a tweet that there was an announcement on syrian state t.v. we do realize that it's a very special day for syria and the people of syria then a few hours later this is something that happened within the last forty or thirty minutes or so we heard the confirmation from the russian military and now with the actual details of what's been happening on the ground the blockade was being broken are emerging we're getting statements by the russian army getting bits of that information from the defense ministry and it looks like the islamic state terrorists around the errors or were planning to regroup or they were forced to regroup and they couldn't do that. thanks to the cruise missiles that were launched from russia's frag it asin in the mediterranean you can see the pictures of these cruise missiles flying into the air so first of all this strike. essentially. state plans to regroup but then also there were many many things destroyed in that attack there were some high. hideouts underground tunnels many artillery. units depos in the actual. i guess

syrian army capture and i believe the preparation for the war. on its way so it could be a matter of weeks maybe days told to recapture again so yes this could be the end of i says islamic state in particular and they lost the mosul which is the biggest city in the arab they lost their also there they lost a lot for now i believe that could be the time to lose actually erica in sealed is the syrian democratic army now in and the art of of. so i'm not surprised if that actually the syrian army will break up and recapture it again liberated and that is that seat in the flag on the top of its building i think it is it is that turning point now and i believe isis in a way to lose its presence and most of eastern syria. it is a major turning point. how do you see the future of syria if we can look just a bit further i mean beyond deisel because you know in this whole conflict there being so many players to the war how do you see the feature of syria playing out. well i believe now that russia and syrian air india and correlation have the upper hand in

aspect is that there is or there is a group of syrians a segment of the syrian population who refused of a certain moment in time when all the omens you know say something different you know the government of the mosque this is going to collapse imminently saw they refused to succumb to the incoming forces of. islamic fanatics unlike other places and they stuck with their government they stuck with their army and now they're suffering has been vindicated and this is a huge shift and this marks a huge shift in the whole you know set of choices that have been made by various segments of the syrian population throughout this. this crisis another significant aspect of significance is that the government of president bashar assad will receive a huge boost in digital missing because of this victory harrowing themselves of the right people. there making good on their promises and now when president assad for example speaks that he will get every single he will fight to get back every single inch of the syrian territory people will believe him and people will give him the necessary mandate to

i don't think so at all neither do millions of syrians hundreds at these hundreds of thousands of syrians the mistake the community of nations or the international community has actually made is that was not extending real support the opposition got a lot of rhetorical support but there was nothing concrete to back it up on the ground it was more like wishful thinking we think assad is going to fall so we're going to say that assad is going to fall but there was no real support the mistake that the community of nations committed and paid dearly for was actually not support in syrians in their quest for dignity and good governance a lot of people would say well hold on you know the cia one state i think one dollar of every fifteen dollars of cia's budget was going toward syria operations the saudi gave saudi government gave lots of money the turks opened their borders to fighters from abroad the qatari spent as much as three billion dollars on the rebels in the first you you say none of that support counted it was all irrelevant . the cia program that you were talking about is something i'

in order to prevent the syrian state from brea gaining the oil fields and apparently the syrian army offensive backed by russia. and other allies reach their resort prematurely for a u.s. plan to hatch and with which to bring some other fighters along with the s.d.f. and have a major offensive towards deers or from from the north east. so they have to do apparently some you know add you know planning or agreements with. probably give them amnesty later on or whatever we don't know here but this is plausible so now what russia is saying that we cannot tolerate you know the s.d.f. behaving as such and in a sense or in other words we would be starting to consider them as an enemy. so it's no secret that the u.s. has a history with syrian ally is that they back of a support with weapons and training going on to join terrorists or even the lever that to the extremists to fast make a is in washington now does this why do they continue to train and assist these programs in syria. will not only that not only the direct and in direct cooperation with isis they might to provide for example of

syrian army offensive backed by russia and its. other allies reached arizona or prematurely for a us plan the situation is very fluid there but what is clear is that there is no confrontation apparent. as per the russian intelligence and drone footage and everything that is taking place in eastern ukraine so this is again raising suspicion that there is a bit of corporation going on which would literally force the russians and the syrians to consider the as dangerous as. the online retail giant amazon is under fire now for potentially helping would be terrorist softer it was revealed that its website which displays other products that you might like to purchase suggested the various components needed for a homemade bomb has more. what do you do when a computer algorithm takes on a life of its own and that's the question facing online retail giant amazon after a channel four investigation revealed that its search function suggests the ingredients required to make a homemade bomb when used as search for one of its components so if i
