What the best that 10:30.670 --> 10:34.360 has been talking about is saying there needs to be credible international 10:34.360 --> 10:37.970 for some notes you're a sports is moves movement and I know that 10:37.970 --> 10:40.570 the United States already plates of forty million dollars to 10:40.570 --> 10:46.490 help get it out on more broadly and what about any kind of un 10:46.520 --> 10:49.830 peacekeeping force. What would be the next they stance on that 10:49.830 --> 10:53.140 tactic a question as you mentioned say the United nations security 10:53.140 --> 10:56.900 council unanimously adopted a trial in forward looking resolution 10:57.200 --> 11:00.190 to address and the most pressing humanitarian challenges facing 11:00.190 --> 11:03.390 the central African republic. I you array mastercard can speak 11:03.390 --> 11:08.780 about this a little bit and today add to their resolution I'd 11:08.910 --> 11:11.770 speak to the deployment of misc and french forces but the chapter 11:11.770 --> 11:14.760 seven mandate which we believe provides the most immediate vehicle 11:14.790 --> 11:19.350 to protect civilians for men to chassis and restore humanitarian access. 11:19.380 --> 11:23.260 The resolution also and the speaks your question as the un security 11:23.260 --> 11:26.460 are tease me secretary general to begin contingency planning 11:26.460 --> 11:29.950 and a possible transition from this getty un peacekeeping operation. 11:29.950 --> 11:33.110 If conditions warrant and allow poorer or not there yet but only 11:33.110 --> 11:37.620 get ahead of that process and but broadly speaking the resolution 11:37.620 --> 11:41.430 also dead is speaks to that rate now we believe it's imperative 11:41.460 --> 11:44.420 that the ash of mimi fully support. The rapid deployment of this 11:44.420 --> 11:47.560 a you led force miss scare and the increase the friendships which 11:47.560 --> 11:50.020 of course we offered to support. So look at evidence from the 11:50.020 --> 11:52.880 ground the looking for skill to transition to the un force and 11:52.980 --> 11:55.390 why I don't wanna get ahead of where we are in may that out we're 11:55.390 --> 11:59.000 focused on the action was taken today at we do believe it's important 11:59.000 --> 12:02.260 to support the using taking the lead in this matter and should 12:02.260 --> 12:05.540 the un peacekeeping operation be appropriate at deemed appropriate 12:05.540 --> 12:08.630 at some point and we do believe that a strong and well-equipped. 12:08.630 --> 12:11.690 Well financed admits go will. Allow course with your transition. 12:11.690 --> 12:15.650 So I don't outlined zest. But we think this is there and a positive 12:15.650 --> 12:18.430 step in a process to helping is horrible situation. That's going 12:18.430 --> 12:21.590 on and took it a horrible situations where the he has any reaction 12:21.660 --> 12:25.430 to the shootings that didn't banking this kind of clients where 12:25.430 --> 12:28.080 board either about eighty bodies found lying on the mosque. 12:28.730 --> 12:32.900 Well we crack that esteem a yesterday about without reports yesterday 12:32.900 --> 12:35.960 of the murder of anissa women children a poll by this violence 12:36.290 --> 12:39.630 and these four fine accounts you mention one are just the latest 12:39.630 --> 12:42.920 in a string of reports and illustrate the really deteriorating 12:42.920 --> 12:47.050 humanitarian security situation. I and the central African republic out. 12:47.050 --> 12:50.420 We fear this could lead to escalation violence for their atrocities 12:50.700 --> 12:53.280 as why we think today said that the security council is in move 12:53.390 --> 12:56.630 at the help try prevent some of this going for it can you explain 12:56.630 --> 12:59.350 why the administration doesn't think that it's appropriate that 12:59.400 --> 13:03.930 this time. Of course if well we believe that the African union 13:03.980 --> 13:06.950 fashion take the lead in this we support the french mobilisation 13:06.950 --> 13:09.950 of troops were just that the point where un peacekeeping force. 13:09.950 --> 13:12.630 We think is appropriate but it's a combat then resolution they 13:12.630 --> 13:16.010 said one to think that dez helped set at half where we might 13:16.010 --> 13:18.710 have to do so can you explain why you think that with his mother 13:18.710 --> 13:21.680 for crew was a and happy to see if there's more information that 13:21.680 --> 13:25.330 are highly that us because you because your answer my question. 13:25.330 --> 13:29.670 Why is it appropriate was the valuation we owe it. Well but you 13:29.670 --> 13:33.020 can't be a you take the lead me un mission. I can act and check 13:33.020 --> 13:35.200 out the logistics of that look like or there's more to share 13:35.200 --> 13:35.540 and that's. 13:36.070 --> 13:39.820 What it also is well on our above and beyond the forty million 13:39.820 --> 13:43.400 dollars that's them that the U.S. their pets are there any plans 13:43.400 --> 13:44.590 for any kind of on. 13:45.170 --> 13:49.220 American. Military involvement in this what's not to my knowledge 13:49.220 --> 13:52.000 now maggie again the forty ninety pledging support to mess go. 13:52.000 --> 13:55.070 That's an initial pledge our work Alana others to join us in 13:55.070 --> 13:58.410 pledging financial and logistical support as well I again no 13:58.410 --> 14:00.740 I their plans are there anything turnouts at this point said 14:00.740 --> 14:04.360 in advance any like you did with the and for instance in mali 14:04.470 --> 14:07.090 the path train is in other countries who are helping the troops 14:07.090 --> 14:09.770 and napping to my knowledge but again if the situation are very 14:09.770 --> 14:11.800 much focused on a no other people are and the U.S. 14:11.800 --> 14:14.870 government are focused on and if we had a more that're announcement 14:14.870 --> 14:16.360 coming days. And it's. 14:17.020 --> 14:20.950 It's funny and then the you and stuff is saying on what about 14:20.950 --> 14:24.800 a diplomatic solution to this is if the U.S. involved in mean 14:24.800 --> 14:29.270 you've got to I'm Feingold involved in Congo and and actively 14:29.340 --> 14:32.480 gold and that's used in making a difference. What kinds of steps 14:32.480 --> 14:33.350 and this one. 14:33.860 --> 14:38.010 If the U.S. involving to get a diplomatic solution that had a 14:38.010 --> 14:40.930 good question. I don't have a lot of details on that right now 14:40.930 --> 14:43.500 obviously we're focused on the peacekeeping operation say let 14:43.500 --> 14:46.270 me check of tech. That's the see at what bilious is in terms 14:46.270 --> 14:48.940 of a diplomatic solution after this afternoon. 14:49.640 --> 14:53.450 Last un records on car a makes reference to the possibility that 14:53.520 --> 14:55.550 you can become a seat in the terrorists them. 14:56.120 --> 14:58.290 As other resources and potentially dangerous in that. 14:58.990 --> 15:02.610 I regard how worried is the state department that car would evolve 15:02.610 --> 15:05.310 into a place where terrorists can. 15:05.940 --> 15:08.850 African more certainly concerned about the deteriorating security 15:08.850 --> 15:11.610 situation for a number of reasons most importantly because in 15:11.610 --> 15:15.420 B at risk of plates that citizens there at as we talked about 15:15.420 --> 15:18.540 Serbia chassis adjustment that have been happening recently that 15:18.540 --> 15:21.380 that's obviously concerned. That's certainly a concern as well 15:21.860 --> 15:25.400 anyway place where there's this kind of security vacuum where 15:25.400 --> 15:27.660 there's a strange situation. That's ali certainly. 15:29.060 --> 15:32.580 Mm. In the region. Yeah. Yeah and Kenya. 15:33.380 --> 15:37.090 At Kenya's just pass today some amendments to media bill which 15:37.130 --> 15:41.790 and has raised concern internationally about press freedom the 15:42.130 --> 15:46.150 right expression and you haven't reaction. I haven't seen actually 15:46.150 --> 15:50.640 in habits look at it we I think expressed are Anna about Kenya 15:50.640 --> 15:54.670 elsewhere are and feeling is that it's very important for media 15:54.670 --> 15:56.910 it to be liked operate freely talked about this will be in the 15:56.910 --> 16:00.360 wake in be at tax there. I haven't seen these new amendments 16:00.360 --> 16:03.580 but I'm happy to look in check intake lets. You Natalie puzzles 16:03.920 --> 16:08.790 those things you Walt which puts amorphous in Kenya. Yeah I take 16:08.960 --> 16:11.880 them out of money and they can't believe it. 16:12.700 --> 16:15.880 Yeah yeah there today said that you are looking closely at the 16:15.880 --> 16:17.830 draft constitution that was submitted. 16:18.390 --> 16:20.810 To and compendium. That new school. 16:21.700 --> 16:26.070 What is in the arguments which are one with a new say looking 16:26.330 --> 16:28.140 at equal simply have a copy of that. 16:28.730 --> 16:32.840 That comes to I have one here never known. I injected the is 16:32.840 --> 16:35.450 the us government have a I guess you don't know the answer to 16:35.450 --> 16:38.990 that on whomever copy where we obviously have been talking interim 16:38.990 --> 16:42.350 government about this since the beginning and and they said the 16:42.350 --> 16:44.890 other day. This is that the egyptian people to decide this will 16:44.890 --> 16:48.270 go to a popular referendum. We do think that the draft constitution 16:48.270 --> 16:50.870 as we talked about provide some greater protection said some 16:50.870 --> 16:54.230 rights and freedoms as I also mentioned there's some provisions 16:54.230 --> 16:57.760 which we have as I said earlier had some concerns about the claim 16:57.760 --> 17:01.140 a civilian trials issues. So we'll keep looking at it but again 17:01.140 --> 17:03.550 at this point we think it sets the egyptian people who make the switch. 17:03.640 --> 17:07.050 So one two million scrutinize illegal for you look at the very 17:07.050 --> 17:10.850 closely and that it and with how we make your if you will say 17:10.850 --> 17:13.900 that we don't find this article we like the medical again. 17:13.930 --> 17:16.830 I said we have some concerns about some parts we raise them in 17:16.830 --> 17:19.930 the past at this point and the press is in the into the egyptian 17:19.930 --> 17:23.160 people to make a decision and voting and whether or not they 17:23.160 --> 17:26.170 except this in their current views places which is to stick to 17:26.170 --> 17:27.880 affinity and people. 17:28.620 --> 17:31.570 I have a referendum and I certainly have no reason to think they 17:31.570 --> 17:35.200 want to live where you say it has some greater protection was 17:35.230 --> 17:41.310 in the greater than what previews crafts for the previous prostitution 17:41.310 --> 17:42.980 emergency with specifically then. 17:43.790 --> 17:46.940 So there's some seconds anyway. But tell us what concerns. 17:46.940 --> 17:50.160 Yeah. Well we said it specifically the provision allowed for 17:50.160 --> 17:53.190 military carries trials of civilians in some cases that's why 17:53.190 --> 17:54.720 I think we talked about misread me. 17:56.280 --> 17:59.660 He moved to the right to damage taking some you know they fit 17:59.800 --> 18:03.360 it to the party from the cash on the theme the have a position 18:03.360 --> 18:07.190 on the bigger that a lot for the trial of selected to the girl 18:07.600 --> 18:10.050 less of say the teenage girls. 18:10.790 --> 18:11.750 A couple weeks ago. 18:13.120 --> 18:16.660 Well I'd make a couple points. We have been deeply troubled by 18:16.660 --> 18:19.670 some reports that activists of in order to stand trial enter. 18:19.670 --> 18:23.050 The recently decree demonstrations law for protests related charges 18:23.450 --> 18:26.720 there been several other detentions and arrests and and are the 18:26.720 --> 18:30.130 same demonstrations lock and we don't believe that the steps 18:30.130 --> 18:32.910 match the government's stated commitment to protecting egyptians 18:32.910 --> 18:35.950 fundamental freedoms and universe. Look human rights and we are 18:35.950 --> 18:39.320 the rate the concerns that we share I was civil society represented 18:39.350 --> 18:43.070 inside egypt the demonstration lies restrictive. And does not 18:43.070 --> 18:44.030 me international thing. 18:45.110 --> 18:50.110 So the view on the ability of religious political parties to 18:50.110 --> 18:51.930 be involved in the political process. 18:52.730 --> 18:56.160 Does this new drought actually can give everyone regardless of 18:56.190 --> 19:00.530 whether they're secular or religious of role in the political process. 19:00.730 --> 19:03.650 Larry said we're continuing to follow the constitutional process. 19:03.650 --> 19:06.800 We're looking at this track app and we have said that we're looking 19:06.800 --> 19:09.460 to the constitution to protect the fundamental freedoms and rights 19:09.460 --> 19:12.860 of all egyptians. I were not twenty makes for the blanket statement 19:12.860 --> 19:16.120 one where the other on on the constitution but obviously that's 19:16.120 --> 19:17.360 what we're looking to it today. 19:18.130 --> 19:22.680 The with thing is do you feel that all parts of the egyptian 19:22.680 --> 19:27.220 society would have equal footing. Under this new constitution 19:27.250 --> 19:29.840 while that certainly out what we've said is that corvette and 19:29.840 --> 19:31.470 we'll leave it at egyptian people with that. 19:32.420 --> 19:35.230 The news but it's not something new to the sport. 19:36.050 --> 19:39.080 Again we're in this constitution is by any better than by the 19:39.080 --> 19:41.390 egyptian people that the goal that we think should come out of 19:41.390 --> 19:43.510 this process and I don't again ahead of the press it's. 19:44.020 --> 19:48.180 A concern that taking any kind of a position on this constitutional 19:48.180 --> 19:49.160 some health at the bottom. 19:50.370 --> 19:53.020 At I just don't think it's appropriate way it's going up by her 19:53.020 --> 19:56.290 friend and for us to come out and say this is their leave it 19:56.290 --> 19:59.600 how we support this we don't support it. I think that it's a 19:59.720 --> 20:02.790 complicated process and we make their concerns number only after 20:02.830 --> 20:06.370 warmer that's the question of whether you support it. It's a 20:06.370 --> 20:09.950 question of what your concerns all you've mentioned one but there 20:09.950 --> 20:13.140 are others apparently because use the word concerns poorer. 20:13.140 --> 20:15.490 We discussed this privately that the interim government as well 20:15.650 --> 20:19.850 but so are you cringe are you worried that if you take a stance 20:19.850 --> 20:23.830 on anything more than just a civilian trial for public statements 20:24.170 --> 20:27.160 that that somehow was going to affect voting and that they in 20:27.160 --> 20:30.380 and is saying it's that with this plan. We don't think it's appropriate tickets. 20:30.950 --> 20:34.330 Quote there's that you'd say you make your point known on all 20:34.330 --> 20:37.320 these things on the demonstrations won't stop you could also 20:37.320 --> 20:41.250 encourage the egyptian sports yes or no one there yet and redknapp 20:41.340 --> 20:44.480 right carroll here is that that's meant to decide our role here 20:44.480 --> 20:47.640 is to talk about what Bradley speaking our our policy is what 20:47.640 --> 20:50.450 we want the outcome of this process to be but it's not the telly 20:50.450 --> 20:53.500 egyptian people have about the details along with steve eating 20:53.500 --> 20:54.820 festival say that are not. 20:55.560 --> 20:58.450 And to actually explicitly configured principle when one of the 20:58.480 --> 21:00.310 principle they're not telling other people had about. 21:02.320 --> 21:06.450 Know your place fizzling system its choice of beijing loan will 21:06.450 --> 21:08.360 find in this issue for you. 21:09.020 --> 21:11.450 Parochial United States for the company through that. 21:12.010 --> 21:15.130 Meeting the for me which I actually don't even think about American 21:15.130 --> 21:18.580 journalists during a visit to beijing to hear directly from them. 21:19.140 --> 21:22.130 About their work in china and the treatment and they receive 21:22.130 --> 21:25.660 in china and one of the issues they obviously talked about why is. 21:26.270 --> 21:28.920 Add the peas and be say she would to they spread across a ratings 21:28.920 --> 21:31.450 official meanings and they're either the freaks the white house 21:31.450 --> 21:32.790 from mark that. That. 21:35.510 --> 21:35.910 More more. 21:36.800 --> 21:40.240 I just feel it is that if they could emerge able to read it any 21:40.240 --> 21:41.390 event at the top of. 21:42.010 --> 21:46.100 And since the time of waste time. How it's mine. I've is making 21:46.100 --> 21:49.820 an idea with two minute warning of any americans and all that 21:49.820 --> 21:52.210 and that's to my knowledge.
