Weve been watching their News Conference live from ankara where the leaders of turkey of russia and iran have been meeting over the war in syria take his leadership type word on Russias Vladimir Putin and iran rouhani holding a News Conference just a short while ago there after their meeting in ankara earlier this monday to try and secure a lasting truce in northwestern syria saying that Turkey Russia and iran need to take responsibility more responsibility to establish peace in syria iranian president for his part saying that the ground my grandmas be paved for the return of security to syria and that u. S. Forces should withdraw we also heard from the russian president just a short while ago has said it was important russia turkey and iran Work Together to bring security back to syria lets bring in jim who is live for us in ankara this was a 5th meeting between these 3 parties between russia iran and turkey did we hear anything new and what were the highlights of this News Conference that. Will follow just a point of clarification here this is america actually the post Meeting Press conference we were expecting in fact despite being here all day this is just the opening session of this trilateral meeting there will now meets all 3 of them together there had been meeting one on one previously and now there will be meeting all 3 of them together behind closed doors will them to have a press conference after thats and thats why maybe so far as you rightly noted there there was an assertive anything new as far as real tangible contents it was more insistence on previously taken positions all the turkish side through president. Insisted on showing the lights on the plight of the refugees and the need to find. Safe haven for them their rain ians talking about the what they describe this terrorist organizations are i. E. Those who are opposed to the regime of Bashar Al Assad then obviously losing them nor pretty new to you to take a swipe at american interference in the region albeit maybe people will be focusing coals and that argument considering the iranians themselves are so much involved in other countries as well and obviously russian speaking about the points of concern there are so that was just the opening session of this tylox all meeting which is now kicked off ok so that was a pretty meeting News Conference now the 3 leaders are actually going to go in and have their talks what will be the talking points precisely what are the main issues right now and what are the sticking points between these 3 countries as far as a serious consent right. So so lets divide them into 3 sections you have immediate issues you have lets say intermediates ones and then longer its harmonious the currents all media it sure is thats all it lip and the attacks that have been taking place there are by the Syrian Regime as well as by Russian Air Force on whats his considered to be the last remaining stand of the armed opposition groups of us all of us of what will be done without the russians and the iranians launch guarantees from turkey that the armed groups there will disarm the turks once again seized from the russians on the ring is that the bombardment would stop in order to ensure that people dont sleep thats the immediate one intermediates one would be looking at a safe passage for refugees in turkey but also in other neighboring countries to be able to be we patry its about it would involve having greater flexibility for the Turkish Military to operate to ensure a buffer zone as theyve described it not only to ensure that there is a cessation of hostilities or attacks by either rain ians or russians or the syrians but also to ensure that they can go after groups that sarky considers to be terrorist organizations that is the separatist kurdish groups on the more longer term discussions what were sticking points your is what you do post conflict which is specifically as we heard there the formation of a Constitutional Committee of all sections of Syrian Society to come and draw how syria would be governed but the irony here on one hand you have all 3 of these countries talking about the integrity and sovereignty of syria while this is a meeting about the future of syria no syrians our presence and also whats also more difficult to see in order to find a solution here is that so much blood has been spilled so many millions of people have been displaced its difficult to see how we will be able to get a crosssection of Syrian Society just sits across the table from each other when one views the other is essentially a butcher who has committed war crimes and the. Committed war crimes would come sort of the other to be terrorist organizations and probably the more difficult to find an agreement thank you for that. Lets bring in. Policy institute. So this was just the beginning of you know where expecting to hear after the 3 leaders meeting their 5th meeting on syria Turkey Russia and iran do you expect to hear anything new after this meeting today 1st of all these 3 leaders meeting to secure their own interests not the interests of the Syrian People this is i mean this should be very clear from the outset we have. Actually heard the statement of both but is then to honey and president putin and they were reaffirming their positions in a well known position actually on the syrian on the syrian conflict for example the statement that was read out by president rouhani it seemed very much the same he read out in the past 2 meetings actually the past 2 summers so there is no real change actually in the opposition of either iran and russia the 3 issues she was mentioning here is the Constitutional Committee because the all we are talking about political solution although in my opinion there is no political solution when it comes to the ground on the ground everybody is fighting almost everybody but when they when they want to talk about political solution they would usually refer to the Constitutional Committee they are trying to establish and they have not been able so far to do so to do that we are hopeful that this time will be able to come out with an agreement on the Constitutional Committee next we have of course the future of libya but the main issue is going to be also here which is maybe something new now is the future of the east euphrates region which the american actually are controlling through with their allies iran and russia are very much against any. Agreement between turkey and the United States to establish a safe zone in the east of the fiftys turkeys priority in syria right now seems to have shifted hasnt it absolutely they are no longer concerned about bringing down the regime of syrian president bashar assad that is something they couldnt do over the past several years they are concerned now about could these separatists actually and a lot of syria they are trying actually created with russia on that over the past couple of years actually and they are trying to a bit with the americans right now and that is so different these through the establishment of a safe zone and this and this part of syria but they iranians on the russians are very much against us. Thank you very much for that. As head of policy analysis at the app center for research here. Lets turn our attention to other world news and the blame game is intensifying over the attacks on saudi arabias key Oil Facilities a Coalition Fighting in yemen says the attack on the aramco plans was carried out using iranian weapons and did not originate from yemen but the spokesman for the Saudi Coalition did not provide evidence to back up what he called preliminary findings. Those kind of. Got. To the. Point. That they have to have conducted that but we know the. Initial assessment would be. Prices surged early on monday in the u. S. President has declared his ready to strike back exactly how long it will take to fix damage to the Worlds Largest Processing Plant is yet to be revealed but prices spikes 19 percent their biggest single day increase on record when monday trading began since settle now operand 9 percent donald trump tweeted that the u. S. Is quote 10 loaded waiting for confirmation of who attacked the oil plants on saturday yemen who the rebels claimed responsibility and have warned they may target their facilities again china the largest importer of saudi oil says its irresponsible to blame anyone for the attack without conclusive facts and russia has warned other countries against putting the blame on iran aljazeera is already challenge reports. The u. S. Government says its already knows who did this but iran denies it was behind the attacks on Saudi Oil Infrastructure claims by yemens who say rebels going to have offered. We reject these types of statements and projections Islamic Republic of iran has clearly declared that it supports the people of yemen and their rights but to accuse the Islamic Republic of iran of these attacks and defensive measures is in line with the United States maximum falsehood policy the state owned Oil Company Saudi Aramco says the fires knocked out more than half of its entire daily output close to 6000000 barrels of Oil Donald Trump warned iran that the u. S. Is locked and loaded to respond to the strikes on up cake but other countries urging caution. To design the who have taken responsibility for these attacks if at the moment we are analyzing along with our partners about who is responsible for this attack and how it could happen if we need to do so with the necessary call and. You know your. We have noticed the relevant reports pondering who is to blame in the absence of a conclusive investigation i think is in itself not very responsible chinas position is that we oppose any moves to expand or intensify conflict the impact of an estimated 5 percent dip in global supplies sent or oil prices on a wild ride up 20 percent before coming back down some investors and analysts were also initially spooked. Much more likely. Already in there from. Chinese growth in china. And growth in the u. S. The last thing we need is. This. In. But by the time european markets opened assurances from the u. S. And countries like russia that reserves would be freed up that helped settle nerves although some european markets open down a little contagion from this attack does appear to be limited for the moment but as Donald Trumps bellicose tweets highlights this is a volatile situation and how long it takes for saudi to get production back on track plus the next moves from washington and to iran are all things to watch out for will reach alans aljazeera london. Hours after comparing himself to the comic superhero character incredible hark the british Prime Minister skip to join conference on break sit with his luxembourg counterplot Boris Johnson was booed while making an early exit. There via bentyl said no concrete proposals had been presented by britain earlier johnson met the head of the European Commission junko diogo who said after the assaults that britain has yet to offer any legally Operational Solutions to breaks it better echoed those comments speaking alongside an empty podium which was set up for johnson before me and i just have to get on with strong agreement on the table and if someone from last year there are no changes there are no concrete proposals for the moment on the table oh no you want to give an agreement to ideas we need written proposals and the time is ticking so should stop speaking but the fact that the british Prime Minister says he can see the shape of a breaks it deal. We are now in the stage where we have to start really accelerating the work and that was the agreement today with this record youre getting with Michel Barnier and look i dont want to get peoples you know weve got to manage this carefully yes there is a good chance of a deal yes i can see the shape of it. Everybody can see buffy what could be done but it will require. Movement and the system by which the e. U. Can control the u. K. After we leave. The socalled backstop. To go from that treaty and that needs to happen here is that tasha butler has more from luxembourg. Well there were rather extraordinary scenes at the Prime Ministers office in luxembourg Boris Johnson the british Prime Minister was supposed to be having. A press conference with exactly a bettle the Prime Minister of luxembourg just outside the courtyard with this was due to take place very visible a crowd of about 100 protesters chanting slogans against Boris Johnson it was incredibly loud so much so that many wondered how on earth the speakers in this press conference would be heard but then the doors open to the Prime Ministers office and pour stones and through the crowd and straight out leaving it out via battle the Prime Minister of luxembourg a moment at the podium to take this press conference betelgeuse visibly quite shaken he had held about 30 minutes worth of talks with Boris Johnson they had of course discussed brags its a battle made it very clear that is far is key and the other european leaders were concerned their position had changed he said the Boris Johnson had not bought anything new to luxembourg or one proposed anything new in an earlier meeting with the European Commission heads. That you covered expected johnson to come up with some realistic or viable alternatives to the contentious irish backstop part of the good george agreement the job he wants to scrap but it is very clear said battle that there were no real propositions made and he said that the European Union was fed up of being having its future held hostage as britain still tries to work out what it wants to do. So again im fully back to the headlines on aljazeera the saudi u. A. E. Coalition fighting in yemen says the attack on the a bomb coal plants in saudi arabia was carried out using iranian weapons and did not originate from yemen but the spokesman of the coalition did not provide evidence to back up what he called preliminary findings the vonn has denied involvement but us present donald trump has one. The u. S. Military is locked and loaded to retaliate if needed and the attacks on saudi arabias refineries triggered a record jump in the price of oil prices of cents dropped the drone strikes claimed by yemens who the rebel shut off about a half of sardis oil output irans president Hassan Rouhani says diplomacy not a military approach is a solution to end the war in syria his comments come. As a summit gets underway in turkey between the leaders of russia and iran the men are focusing on that last rebel held province under attack from Syrian Government forces and russian warplanes you or your. Emphasize once again that the u. S. Forces should withdraw from this region and the sovereignty of the Syrian Government in the east and south of the euphrates must be ensured this can prepare the ground for other improvements in the return of the Syrian Refugees from neighboring countries and other countries. Britains foreign minister has been booed while making an early exit from talks in luxembourg. Am a. Prime ministers idea bentyl said Boris Johnson presented no concrete proposals on break said earlier johnson met the head of the European Commission janklow to younger who said britain is yet to offer what he called any legally Operational Solutions to leaving the European Union and in france more professions have joined protests against proposed Pension Reforms doctors lawyers nurses pilots and cabin crew were out in force in paris president my core is trying to streamline 42 different state pension systems those are the headlines on aljazeera the listening poll says next stay with us. This documents is an official cia memorandum dated september 970. 00 and its innocuously titles discussion of the chilean political situation but its contents what it exposes is pretty incriminating. On the 14th of september mr holmes met with edwards the owner of the independent newspaper. Mr edwards expressed the following views on the chilean political situation. Until 2017 nearly all of this paragraph was brought out redacted meaning that for more than 40 years edwards the owner of the most influential newspaper in chile and made kept to a story that yes he did meet with the director of the cia Richard Helms here in washington d. C. And ok he did talk about some other day and theres a direction but you know there was never talk of constructing not true. Years later these now deep cuts of fight cia and white house documents prove thats exactly what he did and that the cia financed the newspaper funding both negative coverage of the ndaa government and the positive coverage of the dictatorship that followed i must set up the sorrow i was born in chile and im going to tell you about why nearly 50 years on we still need to talk about and recorded all. Chileans will tell you cant really understand the history of this country without understanding the history of women and the farming. If you need a modern equivalent think of the murdoch media empire only its much older dates but in the 19th century when the Edwards Family amassed a fortune bunking mining agriculture. The family used economic power to shape key moments in chinas political history to give you an idea back in the 19th century the edwards played a major role both into the civil war and the pacific war with libya. To protect their business interests there was one the only family in chile a handful of families in the country can still do was set them apart with their newspapers. The thing about Edwards Family line is that they understood the way in which the link between politics and economics operates like a sort of. That he is the media yes and we say going to follow me over. There. Is much more than a newspaper its a Political Institution the brings together an ideological and Economic Group one that campaigns and influences Public Opinion in ways from a point of view that defends its interests given. What American Real has always been the most important paper in the country very conservative in its editorial perspective and closely linked to the countrys political and business elites and its had significant political impact throughout chiles recent history including wars Economic Affairs and coups. I know solomon or doesnt know this one its not just al mercurio there are 3 news papers and some tiago and regional change that followed a similar trend to that of many newspapers and that in america powerful influential business minded families who set up a powerful media outlet in order to achieve the next level in a flat up that had all the only real infrasound. By the 1960s the next level of influence the Edwards Family were looking for was no longer to be found in chile so they looked more to the United States to its government and to its Central Intelligence agency the cia. Political winds were shifting socialist movements were gathering momentum across the continent and in chile president ial candidates some other agendas and left wing ideals pledges Agrarian Reform nationalization world redistribution capturing the popular imagination felt they stood to lose the Edwards Family certainly but also the u. S. Government as the documents showed we now know that as early as 960. 00 fool the cia was injecting money into quote anti communist propaganda. And its other peoples emotional d. C. S. And i still wonder who would have support for a year in there to rein it in. The United States and the cia started bankrolling a campaign that was essentially against any leftist movements in chile in the 1960 s. This us aid helped with their campaign to undermine support for the left wing groups led by salvador and in terms of their growing presence on the political stage both at the polls and in social terminals and. Through his News Coverage and Opinion Pieces and. Some other day in this candidacy. But in september of 97. Again they won the election. He became the worlds 1st democratically elected marxist president. As left wing supporters took to the streets to celebrate ousting edwards jumped on a plane flew to washington and sat down with 2 americans who would shape the future of chile u. S. Secretary of state Henry Kissinger and director of the cia Richard Helms. What was proposed about meeting has been consistently denied for years because these documents declassified decades later reveal Chinese Media mogul was asking the cia for support in a military coup. And that support came in the form of money the money that was passed to over korea to sustain. Abuses of truth the propaganda. Fomenting violence and the creation of a cool climate the money came from the cia. As the director of the National Security archives chili documentation project in washington d. C. Peter kornbluh has made it his mission to get to the truth on chile using the freedom of information act its been a trip by trip process that in 2017 paid off. So you have a document. In which kissinger actually calls over to the cia and says the president has just approved the proposal for supporting mccurry oh at the amount of 700000. 00 the president wished to see the paper kept going and the amount stipulated could be exceeded if that would be usefully served that purpose i cant think of another time when i have seen micromanagement by the president of United States of covert propaganda operations in another country and here is the living proof of nixons personal involvement in making sure that the cia kept l. Mccurry ill go. The t. V. Classified documents all kind of here in washington d. C. Show that president nixon himself directly authorized funding for a medical deal to the tune of 2000000 dollars a serious amount of money in the 1970 s. Enough to keep a paper that was in Financial Difficulties and i have and more importantly shape Public Opinion the cia essentially passed money physically to members of the edwards group. Bags full of money and the cia bag man if you will in the cia station santiago was named jack divine. And he was then a young man with a big afro if you looked at him you would have thought he was a Foreign Exchange student during the age of hippies but in fact he was an undercover cia officer in one of his 1st postings. As an agent and he was responsible for carrying this money for meeting with periodically with the helmet for real people mr devine thanks for talking to us here in the think its a pleasure you touched down in chile in the 1970 s. During the again the government you put in charge of an important brief and medically a project a key part of the cia operation in chile at the time can you tell us about your specific role in this post an extraordinary assignment was my 1st assignment a lot of them are my job is actually to help keep the funding. Because the again the government. Who is 3 would say putting the screws on the home according to my 1st major test that i can recall was trying to find funding so that public order could tended to continue to obtain the paper deeded to actually print the newspapers so this is on the record as cables written by me asking for the fairly large several several 100000. 00 to support the the maintenance of running the paper el mccord it was sort of the whole market you wanted to preserve it. With High Integrity as a journalistic about this so you were on the ground in chile you were reading a medical deal and you were seeing what was happening what do you make of criticisms them that during the 3 years of president and administration and medical do you. Used propaganda to deliberately mislead readers let me put it in the context of the time i think blocking. The i. N. D. Government at the time it is. Participation in the government in the context of the cold war. Was an important thing to do the we know from other reporting that the russians really looked at chile as an experimental case where you could use the voting box to bring communist to power in the hemisphere there was a sentiment among those of us watching that the i. N. D. Government was in the process of falling of its own weight is policies were so wrong footed that it was they were the architect of the economic problems that they were confronting. That elva choreo would be critical of. Is is that surprising i you know understating the power of the media. Not just to report on stories but to produce them creating stories and this is where the bottom line is a nobody of course once they hear this on the left i ended created most of the stories i mean economic policies are very hard to justify today and. At the end of the day when i stand back were brought down the brother record it was softer art it was a barely fall government economic. Thats the story of journalists and it is theres a little town at the time mr boehner says thank you very much for joining us here in the past he was working for him a good deal and says that without cia money the paper would never have been able to tell it not because president you know there was explicitly censoring the press because his government was tightening the screws on him and financially they were in a loony up a weird for trying to end the government wanted to close down and market it but they couldnt just send the police you know shut the paper down so what they did was to found all its accounts they blocked its newsprint supplies they took away all Public Sector advertising as a result the paper was then in serious financial trouble so the people who did want and what couldnt survive did what they could to find funding for it among them the u. S. Government this was a fight between 2 armies income but one of the methods the poor in my opinion and i know for by draining the life out of it while the other wanted to provide it with a life like you to get a limited area in israel according to bit is the art of the cia offered that lifeline however for victor at Rideau Edwards an official biographer that cash injection allowed and unleashed a Propaganda Campaign that would lead to you in this downfall
