Did by this resolution that internationally delegated terrorist groups groups like al know stress i says that the fight against them is not restricted by this resolution and that fight will continue he also had some concerns about how the fight against terrorism seemed to be serving some other goals a. Game of battling terrorism cant become a cover for solving geo political problems of dubious legitimacy and that is exactly what the u. S.

Has spread to other italian cities leake annoyed the main focus of the anger its own rally in milan on saturday as well the countrys general election takes place next weekend but we spoke to marco but a professor of politics at the university of milan he doesnt expect tensions that come down any time soon we turn to explain one of the things youve done for me but. Economic crisis but there is so there is another story the story is that there is a war in this country there is a cooling with legitimate station all of the right of any kind of random shooting from the economic rises from time i dont think that john ridley can go on like this there are too many differences between the north the south the new where you dress is the you all this is the change.

Russia has warned ukraine it is making a colossal mistake after kiev passed a law on the reintegration of the war torn down yet and lugansk regions moscow sees it shows kiev is not committed to a peaceful solution to the conflict and that the move undermines the minsk agreements that are currently in place the new legislation our lives the ukrainian president to use the armed forces in peacetime against the breakaway republics it also designates russia an aggressor state and labels the two territories as being occupied the conflict between eastern and western parts of ukraine broke out after a coup in twenty four dean this is how it unraveled. Feel. That. If experts we spoke to agree that the law will do more harm than good in east ukraine. It wont contribute to the Peace Process it will have to be either withdrawn or amended in order to accord with the means could dream and simplify typing but i think its more of a little small cancers for the process its what i call double track pseudo diplomacy he wants to be seen to be a good guy but in fact the original agenda remains the same which is that he eventually wants to. Make as big many problems for russia as he possibly can because i think hes probably acting according to an American Made agenda kind of setting in stone in a conflict youll situation isnt it its not going to be its not going to did lead to any constructive dialogue between the two sides the minsk agreements is all weve got to hold the situation in as a frozen conflicts and its better off as a frozen conflict than as a conflict and there are plenty of forces inside the ukraine itself and in the west that want to see a conflict here as a means of debilitating the Russian Federation on the world stage the breakaway republics have broken away the ceasefire laws have been established theres not going to be any change on the ground by fighting on attempts to talk about fighting as a resolution or not realistic.
