There the usa doesnt care at all about Syrian People. Came to syria in order to have the project to have its own interest actually even over. A big sea of blood of Syrian People i think obviously you feel passionately passionately about this but they as i said before they have stated plans to fix the infrastructure do you not think as you mention the extensive Bombing Campaign that they have at least some responsibility for the destruction of that infrastructure consequence of heavy artillery and weaponry. So what do you think about those plans are you seeing any evidence that theyre going to. Follow what theyve said theyre going to do theyre going to. Stick to their word and help rebuild. Actually your say i dont think. They are in the usa thinking about. Build. A building or any other places in syria. Where of the steroid completely according to the conflict and because of the isis and other terrorist organizations however. Of course they are a direct and obvious responsibility on the us a because they are a lot of numbers of the people now they are completely destroyed the infrastructure in many cities in syria now because of that so called. Us a war and fight against terrorism we didnt see anything just the destruction in our cities just. People just people. Dont have any place to live in actually its not a fashion its. Ok i think you are facts these are facts by the way and although there is a big responsibility on im going to have to see you out of here then were just gonna. I think are sorry about what i am not waiting for anything from you i say you are not waiting for for anything just to go out of syria and to leave with their troops and to stop backing and supporting any armed illegal armed. Groups and organizations. Or ok are going to run out of time were going to have to stop you there thank you so much for your expertise on this and obviously they have a passion political analyst and member of the ruling party. Russia has taken another twist just weeks before the Winter Olympics begin in south korea russian athletes will not be allowed to represent their country but will compete as neutrals however the International Olympic committee is set to release an official list of competitors that will be allowed at the games and it already looks bleak even for russian athletes whove never tested positive for banned substances. Tensions in the sports world are hitting another high as the i. O. C. Has confirmed that the number of russian athletes that are eligible to compete in the upcoming Winter Olympics is to be reduced now unexpectedly and without explanation now the full list of who is eligible has not yet been released but the russian Olympic Committee has disclosed a number of names that are thought to be who will be disqualified and that decision is ruffling feathers not only in russia but abroad as well a french sports outlet has published article online condemning the disqualification of two athletes in particular we will not be embarrassed to speak about a denial of justice. And are banned from the olympics because they participated in the sochi games both have undergone hundreds of anti doping controls since two thousand and fourteen and dozens more in recent months controls carried out abroad controls carried out by independent bodies by federations and analyzed throughout europe never in russia the result over the last four years a biathlete has never tested positive and. I only got a gold from sochi and he and his team mates. Or leaders of team russia and were both two main hopefuls for winning medals and south korea as well now theyre both world champions and in all of their years competing neither has ever tested positive for doping and thats one of the reason the the decision as an injustice the tone of this editorial will not please everyone thats obvious but there are still questions about. The integrity of the Decision Makers since when can we can do. To punish the guilty is obvious to the russians the for the rest the i. O. C. Has promised the fullest. Just under two weeks before the start of the game leaving an appeal likely and that means the number of russian athletes were still reeling from the fact that they will not be able to compete under their own flag will now be hit with another blow others said to be excluded from the list or prominent hockey players and figure skaters again all of whom have never tested positive for doping and yet they will not be forced to watch the games from the sidelines with forty three other other teammates who have been hit by earlier and another Gold Medalist who is also thought to be excluded speed skater victor that he thought korean by birth which means that his dreams of competing in his home country are looking rather dim at this point and while condemnation of the decision has continued to flow in thats unlikely to change the mind a number of International Athletes as well as has committees have condemned the potential banning of clean athletes the head of Bulgarian Committee says everyone who took substances a must be punished but said that the measures taken against russian athletes have been politically biased. Well have more news after this short break. When lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to public wealth. When the room in closest protect themselves. With the famous merry go round to be the one person. Doing all middle of the room six. Days ago the u. S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis updated in revised americas Global Defense strategy it is a dark vision of the world and calls for a massive defense spending what he calls a Defense Strategy critics say is a blueprint for without it. Welcome back to the program at least two people have been killed and twelve more injured in the afghan city of jalalabad a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb at the office of the humanitarian group save the children reportedly up to fifty people were in the building at the time its now announces temporary shutting down work in afghanistan according to afghan media eisel as claimed responsibility for the attack and heres how witnesses described the assault. On the sound of gunfire then a very big explosion took place i think it was a car bomb there were several other explosions and more gunfire. Im sure people here first i heard gunfire when a car bomb exploded and suicide attackers came brickell shopkeepers in this area several residents were brutally killed the situation is very bad. With the Current Situation deteriorating in afghanistan the u. S. Its been announced is increasing the number of combat aircraft it has in the south of the country according to a nato press release washington wants to step up efforts to cripple taliban controlled infrastructure and cut off the fundamentalist movements Revenue Streams its estimated that the taliban effectively controls around forty percent of afghanistan on sunday it was behind an attack on a luxury hotel in kabul that left at least twenty two dead well were going to discuss the situation a little further with political analyst and muslim insights for joining us here on the program to what extent do you think this deployment will help to counter the taliban in afghanistan. Hard times for having your well turning new. Capital of the country on the use of afghanistan short a kind of compact between the taliban on ice before coming to the news that you mentioned about the new history. You were do you not see it is claimed to target the taliban in the coming winter or the ongoing winter is something which Afghan People ask after twenty years and brigade folly this strategy would defeat the taliban. Decrees the attacks in the capital of the country or all around the country years going to increase saudi a lot of questions even if when you see and in European Countries who accidentally just time into an afghan which is a taxi driver and frank ford what i want to ask. I can after nine eleven and i hope that i enjoy the life of one of the developed country like germany and the Afghan People would be secure in the flag of the United States but theyre good for the the situation is not something which Afghan People forecast and as i mentioned newly there is a kind of calm pit of attacks and killing of Afghan People by the taliban and socalled Islamic State after sort of the attack and a capital of the country now in the history of the country on the save the children. I mean weve heard this havent we for years and years and years and you know one of the biggest questions i suppose the International Community is asking now is that is the United States presence in afghanistan helping to stabilize the situation there we heard from former afghan President Hamid karzai and hes publicly questioned how Islamic State has been able to gain a foothold in the country under washingtons watch whats your opinion on that. Well president cares out of the hand of his government as a valve you criticize saying you are doing the same in our in afghanistan at all and recently in new delhi and rise in our dialogue he mentioned once again that there is no chance are there is no hope to be a stable afghanistan under the dominance of United States bergdahl if you see the situation the reality reality of the situation the big question is why it day by day the situation is going to do really good and why is a question which we are going to compare to another new cold war between United States and russia russia claim a kind of indirectly supporting the virus by United States you notice it is saying about support of taliban but by russia so it is something that they buy did the Afghan People has become hopeless and for sure has prison time of course i mentioned that if the United States is couldnt defeat i is all taliban in the country so they should confess that. They are a lot. Of the should saying that we are not able to defeat it ok lots of questions to be answered there im sure shows that political analysts and like just sorry about that weve run out of time thanks very much for coming on to the program.

Our alliance is opposed breck that u. K. Looks forward to selling more arms for more conflict around the world joining me now is labor m. P. A member of the u. K. Arms export controls committee Lloyd Russell more lloyd welcome to going underground so your fellow member of the u. K. Arms export control committee bully let them sit on mondays show that we have the strictest weapons control system regime in the world just like tourism a said usually agree couldnt agree. With that statement to tour im afraid we have on paper a. Relatively stringent system even on paper we dont have the strictest system we follow the consolidated criteria which is a criteria to sell weapons which is an e. U. Set of standards so on paper we just follow the east and. Two years ago this government weakened that so they changed the presumption to allow ourselves if there was a political dimension and to override other conditions which other we interest than if its a repressive regime even if you suppressive regime and. One example would be in twenty fifteen a company that was exporting from norway via the u. K. To afghan warlords was found guilty in norway of corruption and bribery in that deal the directors of the norwegian part of the company and now in jail the warlords have been prosecuted in africa and in britain we are still giving arms export lessons is to that very company so that is an example of where the idea that we have the strictest in the world is just not true clearly this is a Prime Minister keep saying it is a standard response to every question in parliament when she is asked about yemen or other other countries where british arms are involved because theyre getting themselves because they dont want to face up to the reality that britain is sanctioning weapons that go to places like saudi arabia and they used to kill innocent people the u. N. Report was very clear that there is little evidence that it is. As for self defense and it is just an aggressive attack on the m. And by saudi and that is the reality the conservatives dont want to face up to so they just continue this mantra in the hope that if they say it enough it will come true they do it with all things that they know schools funding in the n. H. S. Theres no winter crisis they say but we all know that is there its the same with the arms trade they all pretend that theres no problem because then they dont have to live up to it she only ritual vice chair of the tory party has been on the show one of the few european politicians who visited yemen and seen some of the carnage unicef has been on this road theyve talked about it pauline they filmed was a safe zone on your committee as well it said saudi arabia is now beginning to allow women to drive because so things are changing in saudi arabia yes but the argument is not that the sound is a bombing we mean in saudi arabia the argument is theyre bombing the heck out of people in yemen you know kind so what theyre doing for people in saudi is neither here nor there when were talking about the arms now actually theyre allowing women after many many years of not to drive in saudi arabia is hardly the Gold Standard of we means equality and feminism but again what would the tory party really know about those kinds of things well i will ensure their point of view will bring is just. That exporting arms to saudi arabia does not enable violence and when the r. A. F. Is training these pilots these are saudi war planes theyre not its not britain thats creating the mess and the death destruction of europe this is why theres an america say we dont need gun controls its not guns that kill people its the people firing them saying in a kind of exports do not help contribute to deaths well yes if they were put in a box and not used by the saudis they dont contribute to death but do we really believe they are putting them in storage after spending billions on them no the point of the consolidated criterion the point of having a huge humanitarian. Basis for how we export arms licenses is we do not want to have an arms export system a bit like the russians do for example where its just a political decision the point was to make sure we took it out of just the hands of politicians to work out who our friends and who our foes are and to something where youre looking more objectively are these weapons going to be here because its pretty rich where labor m. P. s talk like you do we know tony burke was on the Serious Fraud Office Inquiry into the systems in the biggest arms deal with this countrys ever signed of saudi arabia i mean various senior tory figures have been on this show and even former ambassadors saying saudi arabia could threaten to stop security counterterror cooperation if we dont sell them killing machines well in terms of former labor Party Governments selling weapons and closing down investigations that was totally wrong of course it was the labor party with robin cook first of all started actually even publishing where we were selling arms they were the first we were the first people to put in a consolidated criteria and adopt the e. U. Standards but that doesnt mean that there were no phones most people i think have seen the labor party is under new management now and then back on to the other point the idea that the saudis will suddenly have us over a barrel and they were cooperate with we just start cheering effect there be addresses on british street we didnt sell them weapons we had here is some of the saudi ideology is the ideology that is causing terrorism around the world this is causing danger to our streets and actually to not cooperate with saudi would probably make our country a great deal safer do you think theres a growing understanding in parliament to the british weapons are now ending up in the hands of isis. In the middle east in other battlegrounds years of war there is some understanding and there is some cross Party Support to the idea that we need to start monitoring where weapons go bearing in mind with our supposedly so robust regime. We only look to see where the first owner of that weapon is now if only doesnt use it they sell it on second hand weapons we dont monitor that and so it could go anywhere we saw when we had friend after and get afi was in libya we sold a huge amounts of arms and weapons they were put in stashes then of course we decided he wasnt such a nice chap and we caused him to his regime to fall and those weapons Light Weapons and heavy weapons then across the mcgregor in the hands of some of the most violent and nasty people that you can imagine british weapons being used to cool danger to british citizens and citizens around the world and that is the problem if you dont monitor where the weapons and end up in when youre on this committee im sure there will be people saying what most people say to defend the arms industry. Best the weapons are used to implication is to kill people in yemen then we lose vital jobs in britain well lets see aces was being allowed to let us through. Perspective on this first of all were talking about no point two five percent of our g. D. P. This is about the same size as the Beverage Industry or the plastics industry now were just talking about planning plastic cups and straws and putting charges on bags and trying to stop we dont hear people saying well you cant ban plastics because it will make jobs be lost what we say is that we will transform those jobs into things that are environmentally friendly well it is the same with killing machines now we can still do ship building because you need ship building even without arms being attached to those ships you can still do car building in manufacturing all those jobs are transferable and actually they wouldnt even need to change company because the companies would just diversify as well the majority would surprise you perceive you conservative groceries have also made the argument on this program that if we didnt sell the weapon someone else would oh thats fine someones being mugged down the end of your road well if someone else is doing the mugging i might as well because ill get a few bucks is that kind of moral argument is no morals at all im afraid and if we have overall less weapons in this world over rule the world will be a safer place we knew that corbin is your leader is a minority you are a minority of the Parliamentary Labor Party it wasnt that long ago that people like hillary burned all the leadership candidates trying to destroy his premiership voted to bomb damascus. You sure the labor party in parliament agrees with you on these ideas and issues about the arms trade the labor party is not just a party in parliament we have a party of trade unionists members of activists of peace campaigners and i know the party is on our side on this matter now of course there is an argument to be won for some people that need persuading but im sure the members of the party will make their voice very clear to their m. P. s and im sure theyre. Peace will come on side do you think therell be any investigation of british support for moderate rebels as they were called once by your parliamentary labor colleagues little of the conservative party in parliament other any british weapons in the hands of what are now alqaeda. In syria trying to get rid of president assad of syria i have not seen evidence directly that british weapons are being used actively by diana but it would not surprise me if there were because we dont track them and we should track them and we should investigate we also dont prosecute when arms export license is not abided by last year we prosecuted only one person the year before no people two thousand and fifty no people were prosecuted you can go back youve got to go back almost in two thousand and eleven for the prosecution before the most recent one when theres only geopolitical right would say what youre doing is effective boarding Russian Foreign policy iranian Foreign Policy youre not helping our allies like saudi arabia in the great game that is the middle east right now im afraid i dont consider saudi arabia one of our allies so maybe thats where we. Differ with the American Administration of course we need to make sure that we would use arms trade multilaterally thats why i am pleased of course that britain has signed the arms trade treaty something russia hasnt and we need to persuade russia and coerce russia to do that and we need to make sure that we do that in a diplomatic way not in a aggressive way but the danger is that if we keep watering down our requirements we will become no better than russia no better than iran and that is not what we should be. They have been selling arms to countries trying to defeat us and alqaeda rinser yes but what i mean in terms of arms sales we become no better in the sense that we have an independent body monitoring the russian around sell weapons according to political decisions rather than looking at the whole humanitarian issue you can make sure those weapons are not going to be used to breach International Humanitarian law you can make sure that the
