To resign over its failure to follow up on a tip off about a Florida School shooter. So we begin with the war of words thats erupted between the u. S. And russia over the indictments of thirteen russian nationals for election meddling russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has dismissed the indictments as just blabber saying that were no facts to back them up but u. S. President Trumps National security adviser said the evidence of espionage and subversion was undeniable on friday special council charged thirteen russians with running a huge social media trolling campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton. Its a lets see i have no response you can publish anything and we have seen those indictments and ive also read the statements from the Homeland Security adviser in the u. S.

Russian response so far has essentially amplified a sense of incredulity incredulity that thirteen people could of influence the voting of more than three hundred million americans incredulity that these thirteen people could have acted against a billion dollar budget serve u. S. Intelligence services and counterintelligence against all the latest innovations and technologies. Guinea prigogine who is right at the heart of this indictment is what is widely believed the financial muscle behind this troll farm in St Petersburg is also known by the way as putin the chef a billionaire businessman and now he says well the americans are very impressionable people and they see what they want to see he doesnt mind being on this list years already on a u. S. Sanctions list and says that if the americans want to see the devil will let them the russians are also going to be drilling down into the fact that this indictment doesnt explicitly say that the russian government sponsored this election meddling efforts and also that the indictment doesnt say the russia actually changed the outcome of the elections russians also be very aware that the United States doesnt have an entirely clean record was when we got when it comes to in meddling in other peoples elections theyve done it numerous times in numerous countries over the years and they in fact have done it in russia too in one hundred ninety six when part of the elson looked like he was going to be losing an election to the communists well it was the us political advisors that what it for him.

Ali has fifteen days to appeal the verdict is in its parents are demanding his execution be carried out in public at the same rubbish dump their daughters body was found in p. S. Diab aljazeera the u. S. Is calling only to National Community to take action only use of chemical weapons by the Syrian Government u. S. National security adviser at last and made the comments during a speech at the Munich Security Conference he says its clear the syrian president bashar assad is using chemical weapons and that he should be held to account public accounts and photos clearly show that assads chemical weapons use is continuing it is time for all nations to hold the Syrian Regime and its sponsors that countable for their actions and support the efforts of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. Is a new note for us so bold words there from National Security adviser. The u. S. Is concerned about the use of chemical weapons in syria but any indication as to what they willing to do about it. Or exactly of us and i mean general my pastor has been basically saying that the Syrian Government not only used chemical weapons last april but continues to use them against civilians in different parts of the country asking the interNational Community to hold the government accountable but the. The question is how to move forward i mean you talk to different parties and they would tell you that the United States of america has lost leverage in syria because it has not been a real leader over the last few years paving the way for other key players to step in like russia which in two thousand and fifteen intervened militarily in the ground in favor of providence president bashar assad the other was now who have the ultimate say over developments in syria it remains to be seen whether the americans are going to launch attacks against the Syrian Government in the near future to replicate what they did last april when the last attack against a Syrian Military base the saying that that was the base which was used by the syrian army to launch. Chemical attacks against civilians in. To do that you need to have also the interNational Community on board to try to. Pursue an aggressive. Policy against the government of syrian president bashar assad. And hashim the other big story right now despite the overtures we have seen between north and south korea there are fears about potential confrontation or sense of confrontation mounting that tween washington and pyongyang didnt last to say much about that. What is basically has been using very strong words. Yes the syrian against the north korean government saying that we should not allow the. Cruel. Government of kim this is. To pursue its policy of acquiring. Weapons asking the interNational Community to downgrade relations with pyongyang and also impose more sanctions and stop trading with the north korean government to put more pressure on the government to to stop pursuing its military agenda but you know at the same time what weve been hearing over the last two days from different security official is that what you need to do at this particular moment is to a dialogue not only between the United States of america and north korea but also to include the interNational Community and multilateral institutions like the United Nations to try to diffuse tension because many believe that if you cant bring all the key players on board you wont be able to diffuse that this could further degenerate into what the most serious geopolitical concerns this explains one of the most headlines of this particular. Munich security conference is the world is the on the brink of a significant crisis there were alluding to the north korean crisis the the title sounds ominous but thank you so much for breaking it all down for us hashem in.

And how Different Countries responds to those at the very bottom of society. At this time on aljazeera. Quick look at the days top stories now russias foreign minister has dismissed the indictment of thirteen russian citizens for interfering in the u. S. Election speaking at a security conference in munich Sergey Lavrov said there are no facts to back up the claims. The man convicted of the rape and murder of six year old zainab and sari whose killing triggered protests across pakistan has been given for death sentences. Ethiopias defense minister says theres been no military takeover and that the state of emergency declared on friday following the resignation of Prime Minister haile mariam desolate and will last for six months. Now in all the stories were following its exactly ten years since cost of a officially declared independence from serbia after years of conflict and a civil war that claimed fountains of lives kosovo is recognized as an independent nation by more than one hundred ten other countries among them the us and most of the e. U. But its still not recognized by others including serbia russia and china all those in Russian Military political financial or loosing gazer and. It is very rational to keep it still Unfinished Business so we have lost a lot of farm soul but. Today its the dawn tomorrow is a dawn but we dont know any more years for this because your last two decades on this topic. Andrew symonds joins us live now from pristina and so a significant anniversary milestone that for the people of kosovo but any fresh emissions have in terms of recognizing the country. Will not really maryam you heard our interview with the Prime Minister in which he was pressing home the point that there had to be more immediacy to the issue of recognition by serbia or weve heard from alex on the church the serbian president on the eve of this as you describe a landmark event is reference to a frozen conflicts of the dangers of that perhaps this was posturing but he was certainly a wanting more compromise from kosovo in order to get any progress in serbia she recognizing the possibility of recognizing kosovo and that would be a prerequisite to membership is easy you view is that broad which is a may rule the day eventually but no ones putting any timeframe on it aside from the politics that also liberations but thats been tempered by the recollection looking back on the history here the poles of the losses of the losses on both sides but particularly want event in particular in re check back in eighty twenty years ago when forty five people died. Its a war hes grown used to over the years. Still cant comprehend why he lived and his brother died no other men had been fighters they were kosovar albanian and that was a death sentence for those buried here young and old. This happened within the reach of unarmed european observers but the serbs blocked their access rama shabani and others had been rounded up in this yard. Pretty hard to stop or to talk to in the hall as you can see first of all they threw grenades and opened fire on the house people were screaming especially the kids who i was laid out and beaten just here then we were ordered to leave in that direction with our hands behind our heads. Like the others rama followed directions coming up here stopping to light a cigarette and then haring shooting he ran in that direction and the rest had come along here and theyd fallen into a trap they call this the red trail paint marks the spots where blood stains belongings and foreign bodies had been found and it was all exposed by this figure from what i personally saw i do not hesitate to describe the event as a massacre obviously a crime very much against humanity. William walkers words started a diplomatic trail leading to natos intervention the bombing of serbian military targets and there were civilian casualties back at rates check this young man believes the conflict was worth it but byron hire a z who was six when his eighteen year old brother was shot dead says many of kosovos leaders a noun neglecting his village and others like it. If we compare rhetorics contribution to the cost of postage i think the authorities have not paid off our sacrifice so many young people attend University Degrees only to be unemployed Economic Development to stifle every heist in our village has a person whos migrated to support their family its the view of many kosovar albanians ten years of independence hasnt carried with it good fortune for all. So as you mentioned that unemployment painful well very problematic for people how severe is it. Well you heard from a young man he has a masters degree and cant find a job he is among sixty percent of the unemployed thats a remarkably high figure young people unemployment thirty percent is the general figure and this is a situation where by more than half of the population in a Younger Age Group highest in the whole of europe so this is a real handicap to the progress of his country that all of us unemployment there are a host of other issues some of them positive it has to be said this country has recognition from one hundred sixteen Countries Worldwide but the issues to hand corruption the issues of law and order and the economy are certainly hindering the prospects of this very Young Country thank you so much for putting it all into perspective for us anderson is in pristina.
