ALJAZ The Listening Post 2018 Ep 8 February 24, 2018

Delivery what a great deal of work is being done by a partners under the astonished a process iran and turkey. In their monster com were preparing for an important meeting under this format. Under the southern us coalition of a zone of good cooperation has been established with us bodies albeit in some recently weve observed in some areas escalations of attentions are due to the ratcheting up of activities by armed groups. Resolute the resolution explicitly stated that it does not apply to the military operations against eisel. And other alqaeda affiliated organizations or other terrorist groups which have been a good knowledge as such by the Security Council but this is a struggle which will continue what we call upon International Players are too closely coordinated on this matter including with the Syrian Government. With strict compliance with International Law including respect for syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity. The name of the fight against terrorists must not become a shielding of the adoption of geo political agendas with dubious legitimacy and this is what the us is doing great now in syria. Instead of. Of waxy of scaling up of rhetoric against russia and i cannot even count how many statements from the Us Ambassador haley how many times the name russia was mentioned we insist on a promise to say and to the occupation by the socalled coalition and this interim alya would have a clear humanitarian effect this would enable the Syrian Government to deal with restoration of normalcy in all their territories liberated from terrorists including in the north and the east of the country. With the eradication of the military of the military base the issue with i. D. P. s in the rock band camp would be resolved. Let us further recall in this connection that assistance needs to be delivered through the most direct routes as is explicitly stated in humanitarian resolution on syria it is important that the resolution calls for an immediate expedition throughout all of the syrian territory of humanitarian operations linked to mine action and reaffirms the demand for all countries all parties to demilitarize medical institutions schools and other civilian facilities and to avoid the establishment of a matter of military positions in Populated Areas in port illegitimate groups this is what they have been doing. There is a more clear indication of a flashpoint in the conflict which are not limited to eastern time. And. As a result this rocket has been destroyed by the coalition and there is outrage adventure shelling by rebels of damascus. Which our embassy was frequently struck. We know that the humanitarian situation in syria is dire. And requires urgent measures to be taken however we see perfectly that the propagandistic scenarios which are being on ravelled around Eastern Ghouta. Are in line fully with the campaign the visitors companion in a delayed twenty six team during the counterterrorist cooperation operation to liberate eastern aleppo. It is important to engage not just with eastern go but. Go beyond. Yarmouk. Assistance needs to be delivered to all parts of syria. And the resolution underscores the need to lend support for the restoration of stability in the region when civilians return home we believe that this is an unambiguous and a message to those capitals of who continue to condition assistance for rebuilding on a certain transitional momentum in the political process and the resolution that stipulates that the humanitarian priority for syria for that youre twenty eighteen are not limited to the five requests of the u. N. Humanitarian coordinator mr lowcock. The agenda is far broader we trust internally that specialized u. N. Bodies and partners will act clearly to the requests and reports from the Syrian Government in conclusion i wish to extend to voice deep concern in the light of the public statements by certain u. S. Officials who threaten aggression against a sovereign country the syrian our republic. And i meekly caution we will not countenance any subjective interpretation of the resolution that has just been adopted and we demand and and to this reckless rhetoric instead for there to be a joining of common efforts to resolve the conflict in syria on the basis of resolution twenty two fifty four of the United Nations Security Council thank you mr president bush could win. The day on a monthly i think the representative of the Russian Federation i give the floor to the representative of france. Right so weve been listening in to that vote nation Security Council for a thirty day truce in syria it has passed unanimously the aim we have heard is purely humanitarian its to allow for a cessation of hostilities for medical evacuations and for a deliveries and of course this will be applied across the country not just to eastern goods where we have seen an escalation of military activity in the past week at speak to a diplomatic editor james bays hes been following all of this and james the resolution passed unanimously but nikki haley that really couldnt conceal her frustration of what she described as procrastination from russia the division and polarization on syria still very much there. Yes youre right they have passed this resolution finally with some changes to the text and they were negotiating in the last hours at a time when the Security Council meeting was supposed to be taking place very much the pattern we had on thursday russia didnt abstain russia voted for either way the resolution would have gone through but its interesting that after all its objections during the negotiations that russia actually supported this along with china which in the past as sometimes gone against resolutions along with russia about the new benz here the Russian Ambassador explaining their earlier objections said that the earlier way that it was for a used when it talked about immediate cease fire was not feasible but its worth me telling you what has actually been replaced for that in the resolution the word immediate has been taken out and the resolution now substitute the word without delay one would argue that the paps isnt a great deal of difference there but certainly that is what the russians are saying is the reason for their objection to this resolution and till the final final draft which they have now agreed to. And he also we also heard the Russian Ambassador of bestselling ben just saying that expectations were misplaced seeming to hit back at. Nikki haley. He said that negotiations over what a truce actually involves was going to take some time why was it so difficult to get this resolution passed women. Well it depends who you speak to certainly the u. S. Position and the u. K. Two is that russia wasnt really negotiating it was trying to delay when they had reached agreement on friday at the Security Council russia proposed that this meeting was adjourned until monday everyone else said no were coming back on saturday so there is the argument that russia really was trying to delay any way it could and thats why it was keeping the negotiations going until this point that certainly the point that was made by ambassador hailey when she talked about the number of people that probably died in the three days of delay on this resolution when the resolution she says could originally been passed on thursday ambassador burns ear was keen i think to get some points back against the u. S. And it was interesting again that he focused not on where were focusing right now which is east and the Current Situation there but the other side of syria and the area that was formally controlled by our saul around the city of raka where of course the u. S. Led coalition ballman deisel and forced it to retreat from that area the russians have been focusing on the humanitarian situation in that area the destruction in that area. Ben zero one one stage further in the speech you just heard he described that area now is under u. S. Occupation and james you have seen in escalation in military activity weve been for as you say weve been focusing a great deal on eastern goods in recent days but many parts of the country are suffering right now and im desperate need of aid also theres been fighting in Northern Syria as things stand right now how workable how realistic is any sort of truce. Well there are so many moving parts in syria there have been throughout this war but the way the conflict has developed in recent years and months even more International Actors getting involved in syria lets be clear what this resolution covers it is a ceasefire for thirty days not just Eastern Ghouta the whole of syria is covered by this resolution but how are you going to actually enforce that how are you going to persuade the Syrian Government to comply will they comply not clear we will hear later in this meeting from Bashar Jaffrey the Syrian Ambassador obviously the various fighters that are involved in eastern guta they may not be the majority of the casualties in recent days but they still are being shells going from eastern good to into damascus what will happen about those fighters and other opposition fighters across syria and what will happen about the other International Actors remember russia is bombing people in in syria theyre allowed to continue military action under this resolution against the forces of iced groups and then the other complicating factor as you say is in the north where the Syrian Government offensive continues against the kurds of the s. D. F. Are joined it seemed seems by the assad forces there will turkey stop its military operations as a result of this resolution entirely unclear at this stage thank you very much a diplomatic editor james bays at the United Nations. Now dozens of protests have taken place across italy as tensions rise in the run up to nest next weekends election the anti immigrant league party also called the Northern League held a rally in milan where its leader Matteo Salvini spoke to thousands of supporters of the immigrant sentiment despite initially in the wake of europes refugee crisis but its also being met by opposition leftist protesters in milan fought with police while trying to disrupt a far right rally several other demonstrations in support of immigration have also taken place including in the capital rome sana gago has more from milan. But they all salvini greeted an enthusiastic crowd of supporters in central and its interesting for a posse that he has which was once known as the Northern League he has since drops the name and order to appeal to the rest of the country of course the party was founded as a session is smooth with little to see from the rest of the country which it deemed as a backwoods and this is an interesting tug because of course while the nameless changed little in the way of its politics has it still has the same xenophobic rhetoric still very much on t. Banking and the effect on the economy and still very much also against the e. U. And the eurozone as well but its interesting to note that trying to appeal to other parts of the country as well has been criticism this is an opportunistic. Policy by mr selby meat and that is really to try and gone or as much support as possible against immigration and its allies immigration policy is of course not forgetting that its really has had hundreds of thousands of people turning up by sea and that has really put a strain on the countrys infrastructure here that has been a lot of coal to brussels as well to try and do as much they can to help it but the country as well as that has also been going through its own recession those two problem things have had a definite effect on the politics certainly on to immigration policies certainly heard more by mainstream politicians as well its not just a focus of rightwing policies but its all throughout now as well and that has seen its really swing to the right politically. Hundreds of supporters of the democratic republic of congos ruling party have stormed a church.
