I have 04:35.580 --> 04:38.540 no independent confirmation when you should we have no independent 04:38.540 --> 04:41.730 confirmation of the spoke about your fastest with a lot of the 04:41.730 --> 04:45.820 United States government without having a hard look at us from pursuing. 04:46.190 --> 04:50.360 I am to you as of now excerpt Augusta. But this one of the four 04:50.360 --> 04:55.020 options way if you have any clarity on which worry a the oceans 04:55.020 --> 04:57.840 to use likely to go in terms of the decision on a. 04:58.460 --> 05:03.160 Attended I don't have any out further update or or a preview 05:03.190 --> 05:06.440 as for to share in all of you is you on their light schedule 05:06.470 --> 05:10.030 that the meeting is scheduled to convened for of today that no 05:10.030 --> 05:12.510 reason to believe that has changed at this point. 05:13.390 --> 05:17.500 We will let their process and move forward ingrid the secretary 05:17.670 --> 05:21.190 convey very clearly yesterday and again today about the importance 05:21.190 --> 05:23.410 of the essence the attending a couple. 05:23.990 --> 05:26.990 Unfriendly said if we still believe you're on the same page in 05:26.990 --> 05:28.810 their desire to have a focal transition. 05:29.390 --> 05:32.220 It does sound though that you believe that you're not on the 05:32.220 --> 05:35.250 same page about what political transition the it's. 05:36.240 --> 05:39.300 In my capacity and in that capacity that. 05:40.100 --> 05:43.920 You know this the russians there's Syrians in made quite clear 05:43.920 --> 05:46.260 in their letter to the United nations that they're not going 05:46.570 --> 05:49.720 to just that when you know and public also that they're not going 05:49.720 --> 05:53.900 to discuss any kind of transition eminem Vargas out leaving ourselves 05:54.230 --> 05:56.000 and meanwhile they say it there. 05:56.690 --> 05:59.820 Committed to a political solution and a political transition 06:00.220 --> 06:03.550 and it doesn't and I'm not sure you both agree on what political transit. 06:03.550 --> 06:07.400 I'm pressure unless you have seen as the russians comments on 06:07.440 --> 06:11.480 the At the letter and maybe they have I have never seen a those 06:11.480 --> 06:15.290 comments out what I was the referring to was the fact that there 06:15.290 --> 06:19.210 is agreement that creation of a transitional government by mutual 06:19.240 --> 06:22.780 consent which means that the parties would have to agree to who 06:22.780 --> 06:26.120 the participating bodies would be is what the process. Well way 06:26.120 --> 06:30.960 that the prices would entail argued in consistent with the it's 06:30.960 --> 06:34.520 suing regime says any flow culture indigenous includes that as 06:34.520 --> 06:38.590 that residence out new this are in opposition the rest of the 06:38.590 --> 06:43.180 international community except for russian ron hansen of political transition. 06:43.910 --> 06:48.450 Own cannot of upset. So how if both sides don't agree on that 06:48.450 --> 06:51.730 one key issue. How could you ever get a government a political 06:51.730 --> 06:55.630 opens by mutual waltz mutual consent between the Syrians not 06:55.630 --> 06:58.800 between the United States and ratcheted up or it's still important 06:58.800 --> 07:02.100 to note that the United States and russia all agree that mutual 07:02.130 --> 07:06.940 consent as an important phrase. Of course in the UK. So you happy 07:06.940 --> 07:10.290 but the nature of having to a bowl sites needing to agree you 07:10.290 --> 07:13.550 that Apple side degree in order to create a transitional governing body. 07:13.550 --> 07:16.410 We're not at that point yet we're beginning the process of as 07:16.410 --> 07:19.850 the secretary said yesterday that this is going to be a long 07:19.850 --> 07:23.030 road and and we're just we're just starting out next week and 07:23.030 --> 07:26.180 just one more owners use are just just one more on our shirts 07:26.180 --> 07:29.220 question her about the just liver ease in he said if cherie it 07:29.220 --> 07:31.950 no confirmation that if she would raise concerns about rest fall. 07:32.300 --> 07:36.670 You know they're rushing used to be sure on providing weapons 07:36.670 --> 07:38.440 and and steps to. 07:39.030 --> 07:42.190 The Syrians have has to have the russian said to you in recent 07:42.190 --> 07:45.870 months that they stop doing that to cause concern. It's true. 07:45.870 --> 07:49.250 I mean do with that so I had a nice to I don't have any more 07:49.250 --> 07:52.360 to it and understanding is it your belief that the understanding 07:52.360 --> 07:56.030 in a way that the russians have stopped weapons delivery. I don't 07:56.030 --> 07:58.760 allow seven harder for you to the russians. I don't think that 07:58.760 --> 08:02.320 they've made a public statement to that point but I was referring 08:02.320 --> 08:05.840 to that specific support mother. We have an independent company not. 08:06.400 --> 08:10.210 Using the reaction uses a series of thirty somethings the table 08:10.210 --> 08:12.530 for key that such as prisoner swaps. 08:13.490 --> 08:18.770 I hero I we have talked about that as you know we're currently exploring. 08:19.330 --> 08:22.370 The possibility of making progress in some areas that the secretary 08:22.370 --> 08:25.930 actually reference a couple of days ago when he was hiding here 08:26.290 --> 08:27.360 in order to improve. 08:27.980 --> 08:31.270 The environment for negotiations. This includes improving humanitarian 08:31.270 --> 08:35.490 access prisoner releases and local cease fires on that going 08:35.490 --> 08:39.090 to get into a course of the specific that these discussions are 08:39.090 --> 08:41.190 proposals but it's an ongoing discussion. 08:41.740 --> 08:44.920 Of with the opposition of aggressions and the un and the core 08:44.920 --> 08:51.370 support progress and there's a and the But When Yeah and that's an. 08:51.920 --> 08:54.450 You know I think that we're talking about prisoner swaps impulsively 08:54.480 --> 08:58.520 humanitarian access for the did seem to be any and all for the 08:58.520 --> 09:04.030 serially regime about any kind of local ceasefire tall so and 09:04.580 --> 09:07.970 You know it's a bit sooner than they can support a partial perhaps 09:07.970 --> 09:10.550 half hearted efforts to be a colored eighteen. 09:11.060 --> 09:14.890 Out without paying the fall of two wards ending the fighting 09:14.890 --> 09:18.930 at the seams and stairwell where crime I exploring the possibility 09:19.150 --> 09:22.450 that progress in all areas that doesn't mean that there's a deadline 09:22.480 --> 09:25.870 by midnight tonight. We have to come to our process that can 09:25.870 --> 09:29.510 be made for continuing the discussion. Obviously part of what 09:29.510 --> 09:32.840 the secretary did this weekend was passed the russians to play 09:32.840 --> 09:36.700 a whole aimed at exerting I using their influence with this year 09:36.700 --> 09:39.870 in regime on all of these components out so we'll continue to 09:39.870 --> 09:40.620 work on all of that. 09:41.340 --> 09:44.590 As far enough that the soldiers is this. What's is that matches 09:44.590 --> 09:47.190 that seem to be very easy thing that they could do all that one 09:47.220 --> 09:51.600 component that but we're working on and it's you know we're exploring 09:51.970 --> 09:54.840 ways to make progress in all of the areas we're not saying what 09:54.840 --> 09:57.470 is acceptable. We're continuing to look on august of this little 09:57.470 --> 10:00.490 on a truce with the local which in its forty% of which is that 10:00.490 --> 10:02.110 they are said to for corruption. 10:02.900 --> 10:05.850 I know and that's I what was your last one question is whether 10:05.850 --> 10:09.250 you a And you response to. 10:10.540 --> 10:11.170 There are. 10:12.350 --> 10:16.650 Proposal given the russians about the cease fire at a level that 10:16.650 --> 10:19.330 a step for the right direction. Well the secretary of reference 10:19.330 --> 10:24.540 to a couple of days ago that the individual his desire to make 10:24.540 --> 10:26.340 progress on that. So what. 10:26.930 --> 10:30.720 Going a local ceasefire where we're seeing their comments on 10:31.010 --> 10:34.310 you know there's no flash in bath and an indication that this 10:34.310 --> 10:38.490 without its challenges but I you know it would be positive on 10:38.490 --> 10:42.350 with openness admitted discussing miss and assessing how it would 10:42.350 --> 10:46.630 be implemented. I you know but we believe on that there's also 10:46.690 --> 10:50.940 more certainly that can be done on board it needs to be de high-end 10:50.940 --> 10:54.280 relations all of these areas and and specifically of course and 10:54.280 --> 10:58.600 humanitarian food chain on that on that question on other acts 10:58.600 --> 11:03.420 as the finest allow about that said today that it's outrageous to. 11:04.140 --> 11:07.190 Really create pre-tax for an intervention by cashing in on a 11:07.190 --> 11:10.430 humanitarian crisis that they're gonna counter any app or to 11:10.430 --> 11:15.310 use these humanitarian issues on the torpedo Geneva to at that 11:15.310 --> 11:17.880 seizing a reference to what we're trying to help the opposition 11:17.880 --> 11:21.480 with here in terms of getting access and services on its use 11:21.480 --> 11:23.230 to check up of maintain quarters. 11:24.050 --> 11:27.250 Are weaver's humanitarian corridors and much reactions as doesn't 11:27.250 --> 11:30.470 seem very helpful. I'm having a hard time understanding that 11:30.470 --> 11:33.480 they would mean that the comments but let me try conveyed where 11:33.480 --> 11:34.840 we are with humanitarian. 11:35.430 --> 11:39.480 Access there have been mom over the last twenty four hours you've 11:39.480 --> 11:43.720 seen reports that and that Conway humanitarian assistance was 11:43.720 --> 11:48.810 delivered to I'd to regime controlled area that had previously 11:48.840 --> 11:52.490 been hard to reach that it's important to note and our view is 11:52.490 --> 11:56.150 that you know there are nine point three million people in syria 11:56.180 --> 12:00.250 in need of emergency humanitarian assistance and so this is this 12:00.250 --> 12:03.610 that but there's will far more that needs to be done even though 12:03.610 --> 12:06.120 all aid deliveries including these are welcome. 12:06.650 --> 12:08.310 The un has identified. 12:09.080 --> 12:13.730 Access to you about it too high they would be besieged areas. 12:14.620 --> 12:19.190 Where on more than two hundred thousand people have been trapped on. 12:19.890 --> 12:23.200 Those include any or the secretary top of that he's yet quite 12:23.200 --> 12:28.360 a bit over the last week or two. Yeah move on my and my and my 12:28.360 --> 12:32.170 yeah I can never say that and the old city homes and so what 12:32.170 --> 12:36.350 you perceive it had not received a glass for and so and argue 12:36.350 --> 12:39.940 this is not a local issue. This is not an issue of sides. 12:39.940 --> 12:43.500 This is an issue of what's right. What's morally right on and 12:43.500 --> 12:46.420 it should be that providing access to. 12:46.980 --> 12:51.280 Millions of innocent men women and children in syria for suffering 12:51.280 --> 12:55.440 at the hands of this of this civil war it is what everybody should 12:55.440 --> 12:59.090 be support that he he specifically said that on all these attempts 12:59.090 --> 13:03.640 are to try to promote of minute trip humanitarian quarters idea 13:04.010 --> 13:07.170 is that no idea that the U.S. is in favor of pursuing right now 13:07.280 --> 13:10.460 but that's an idea that has been out there. Well workers doing 13:10.460 --> 13:14.260 as well we've been talking about which is of ways to make humanitarian 13:14.290 --> 13:19.340 access available to more of the besieged areas including the 13:19.340 --> 13:20.280 high priority. 13:20.870 --> 13:25.820 Besieged areas identified by the way it is it and this move from 13:26.250 --> 13:27.580 its lead you to believe that. 13:28.100 --> 13:29.300 David within a year. 13:31.320 --> 13:34.420 There is now we're still working towards mining. Obviously a 13:34.850 --> 13:37.610 a that the opposition has been very active and we're looking 13:37.610 --> 13:41.320 for to them including there was opposition can there with it. 13:41.970 --> 13:45.960 Thank you and not many wishes or more with this company form 13:46.260 --> 13:49.600 we're confident they will attend as saying so we're doing your 13:49.600 --> 13:53.410 current that in mind the P that could not many actually about 13:53.410 --> 13:57.080 the implications since we've had a great deal of time between 13:57.340 --> 13:59.790 june thirtieth two thousand and twelve and up. 14:00.450 --> 14:04.720 The the kind of transition although in your opinion and it's 14:04.720 --> 14:08.020 implicit there S that should not be quite different things in 14:08.020 --> 14:09.630 the opinion of a good. 14:11.300 --> 14:12.590 Portion of this if you. 14:13.190 --> 14:16.890 And his allies russia and humans and that he must be higher than 14:17.330 --> 14:21.410 the transition. So with heavy weakens have yet never made any 14:21.410 --> 14:25.530 effort to think that this is the case of this is that for because 14:25.660 --> 14:29.010 I think we're actually nsn worked or at least that. Yeah. 14:29.010 --> 14:32.860 Yeah convinced that the for one reason a few. Well I would point 14:32.860 --> 14:36.490 you to what the secretary met yesterday movies repeatedly set 14:36.490 --> 14:38.470 which is that there's no place for side. 14:39.010 --> 14:42.970 In the future of syria that what how this process would work 14:42.970 --> 14:47.360 technically would be the full size need to agreed by mutual consent 14:47.390 --> 14:50.140 who would be a part of the transitional government by we don't 14:50.140 --> 14:53.190 expect that to happen overnight. But that is the premise that 14:53.190 --> 14:58.500 they need is if you use with the future. They remind me of another 14:58.500 --> 15:02.730 thing that that they weren't with us on that that you you know 15:03.180 --> 15:08.390 you and It doesn't really have any kind of definitive the to play. 15:08.750 --> 15:12.310 Well they do say you can add the by the what if you want to live. 15:13.360 --> 15:16.660 Well we're significant here say is that all sides of the sitting 15:16.660 --> 15:17.870 back there is. 15:18.520 --> 15:22.970 Plenty of chances of met with the oil supply he had feeling of 15:22.970 --> 15:26.860 the five% of the public image that it could put them in a few 15:26.890 --> 15:30.470 other things on that actually have to be even worse condition 15:30.470 --> 15:33.610 as they'd like to see an how would you let me use it you would 15:33.610 --> 15:36.220 include all the What would you say that they're. 15:36.790 --> 15:39.800 Well I think that way as if that many times that growth that 15:39.840 --> 15:44.190 caters killed more than a hundred thousand people had no featuring 15:44.220 --> 15:45.850 in a in syria is one of. 15:46.520 --> 15:50.200 Them. So has unleashed on woods. 15:51.230 --> 15:55.050 The whole idea that you need a roof was that between the time 15:55.050 --> 15:59.400 you can see the idea and it's time to me what happened asides 15:59.400 --> 16:04.300 calculus on the ground the change so from a combination of pressure 16:04.300 --> 16:07.890 on the regime and support for the opposition and strengthening 16:07.890 --> 16:10.990 of the opposition that when he would go to Geneva as you would 16:10.990 --> 16:14.390 be in such a weakened state that can and his backers whether 16:14.390 --> 16:19.170 they're rustle or iran or has a lot what ever we're lady see 16:19.170 --> 16:23.270 the benefit of a transition and it does seem right. Now is that 16:23.460 --> 16:27.710 besides tablets is only change to heart in his resolve and to 16:27.710 --> 16:30.010 make you feel more powerful than ever so. 16:30.520 --> 16:31.830 The I understand. 16:32.600 --> 16:36.020 The validity of a conference where you can sample glitches issue 16:36.020 --> 16:37.530 that Hussein right now. 16:38.070 --> 16:42.290 Our home is the right time for a conference like this when the 16:42.290 --> 16:43.840 opposition on. 16:44.720 --> 16:50.150 Is. The is very good divided about whether to attend on some 16:50.150 --> 16:50.730 people think. 16:51.410 --> 16:55.590 Just the whole after going to the Senate conference could weaken 16:55.590 --> 16:57.600 the opposition and further strengthens. 16:58.490 --> 17:01.560 We do we absolutely until this is the right time to have a car 17:01.940 --> 17:06.090 that the certainly in the reason is the alternative is for call 17:06.360 --> 17:10.860 and that is that there would continue to be more bloodshed there 17:10.860 --> 17:15.000 are continue to be more suffering with out a political pap tests 17:15.000 --> 17:19.400 and started to bring in answer that so that's why we feel this 17:19.400 --> 17:22.650 is a essentially the right time. Absolutely the right to use 17:22.650 --> 17:23.690 to get their issue. 17:24.350 --> 17:27.660 Dead perhaps you wanted they'll have a conference where you have 17:27.660 --> 17:31.030 the most chances of making progress and maybe there needs to 17:31.030 --> 17:35.130 be actually more pressure and on the regime before they feel. 17:35.690 --> 17:40.300 Fire to negotiate a local terms as well as the secretary said 17:40.300 --> 17:43.290 this morning your thirty five countries are over thirty countries 17:43.290 --> 17:46.750 that invited that have a great sea and bringing an end to this 17:46.750 --> 17:50.840 complex and so we'll see what happens next week and I how all 17:50.840 --> 17:51.650 sides can. 17:52.280 --> 17:55.290 Can can determine how four out but. 17:55.860 --> 17:58.600 There's no question we feel this is the right time in the right stuff. 17:59.020 --> 18:03.130 I've given circumstances on the ground that might say. Yeah here 18:03.130 --> 18:05.190 ef1 met the family. 18:05.690 --> 18:09.770 Was. He that can be performed or risk of. 18:10.520 --> 18:12.480 A huge relief to schedule needs. 18:13.010 --> 18:16.070 To be the conference and no we're not that scheduled to happen 18:16.070 --> 18:20.080 on january twenty second and the ball to was that the a little 18:20.080 --> 18:24.790 just of position would be more divided if some of them some of 18:24.820 --> 18:29.030 the opposition leaders and when to a Geneva without the need 18:29.030 --> 18:30.970 the agreement between the members. 18:31.580 --> 18:35.570 Sell well it's no surprise that given the challenging circumstances 18:35.570 --> 18:39.610 on the ground there would be division among members of the opposition 18:40.080 --> 18:44.150 of we said that a sith that before but what's important here 18:44.150 --> 18:47.950 is having a representative delegation. I attend the conference 18:47.950 --> 18:52.900 that sit down for. The first time with the regime and with all 18:52.900 --> 18:57.340 the stakeholders in intel up it in probably in attendance and 18:57.340 --> 19:00.870 so that's why we feel it's the right time perhaps less one that 19:00.870 --> 19:04.690 the cost of that the planned that the forum the someone investors 19:04.690 --> 19:09.470 and to venetians you see again plan or it's the the russian American idea. 19:10.190 --> 19:13.910 I'll what in what capacity building the ceasefire and humans 19:13.910 --> 19:18.740 and needs to see to any of well it matters more what to do them 19:18.740 --> 19:20.000 much to say so. 19:20.720 --> 19:25.620 We and I think we have a right of of of offers ship on a diocese 19:25.620 --> 19:29.070 fireworks military NASA's that that's something the regime and 19:29.450 --> 19:33.510 and others who are who have the ability to make it happen are 19:33.510 --> 19:34.530 able to deliver on. 19:35.300 --> 19:41.380 You. Don't use a am used to be the opposition is good for the 19:41.380 --> 19:45.650 day another content and there's no reason at this point to expect 19:45.650 --> 19:46.230 that to. 19:47.240 --> 19:51.730 Of a connection change where slipper something that you have 19:51.730 --> 19:54.390 any inkling that they may not take the book today as planned 19:54.620 --> 19:57.550 note that that's what I'm saying I don't obviously the investor 19:57.550 --> 20:00.720 online on the ground they never wanna make absolute predictions 20:00.720 --> 20:04.530 that that's their that's can me and if we could revisit the issue 20:04.560 --> 20:08.490 that can collect and okay today a report was published by. 20:09.050 --> 20:12.980 A former weapons inspector richard lloyd and the current. 20:13.510 --> 20:15.670 Professor at the moment. He there. 20:16.510 --> 20:22.330 Do you go into a forceful that says actually did you do is simply 20:22.330 --> 20:25.340 did not use the A chemical weapons on. 20:26.150 --> 20:30.260 If the two one two thousand and picking you really need to look 20:30.260 --> 20:34.180 at it again you may there's a new future the statement that meeting 20:34.290 --> 20:38.520 and that's true we stand by that state now so if this is what 20:38.750 --> 20:43.300 you are an milton an industry it to be there seemed to be fit 20:43.300 --> 20:48.670 the an inch on to the augmented by fax and so you will we can 20:48.670 --> 20:52.450 say that I I don't I think we've been very clear backed up by 20:52.450 --> 20:55.620 significant evidence and why we believe that ingenious come on 20:55.620 --> 21:00.000 this mission when it seemed that Syrians his own. 21:00.650 --> 21:04.940 Russia is to be fending off the same music and one day at noon 21:05.050 --> 21:09.930 new new allies in that position and you for the Second thing. 21:10.460 --> 21:13.410 Is that most new Windows so. 21:14.010 --> 21:15.950 Often during the coming under. 21:16.460 --> 21:19.360 I would refute the notion of your question feel any my theory 21:19.360 --> 21:23.450 called on all sorts. Yes. I jalili look to the mutual consent. 21:23.620 --> 21:29.060 Ok no given the huge gap between the two sides one would expect here. 21:29.060 --> 21:32.370 We go with our blood our peace process in that region. 21:32.780 --> 21:34.580 That's me and all painting and it. 21:35.400 --> 21:39.340 And david there is stick a border the decays what could be the 21:39.340 --> 21:44.360 purpose of the conference just dual opened the process and in 21:44.360 --> 21:49.130 given you on in them on and on this is mutual consent is you. 21:49.760 --> 21:54.170 It is a very very grim or possibility help dilute. 21:54.710 --> 21:58.630 It would materialize but it is a very very them all. Well you're right. 21:58.630 --> 22:02.080 It's chanting pay gap purposes. The began a process that doesn't 22:02.080 --> 22:05.120 crime leads us to put in place a transitional governing body 22:05.500 --> 22:09.760 the the one syria syria. She's here. But he mentioned the slouch 22:09.760 --> 22:13.080 did we did like time involving jimmy will confuse them. 22:13.790 --> 22:17.680 Industry it is a lot of conflict between ticketed carrion the 22:17.830 --> 22:18.930 forum isn't workable. 22:19.650 --> 22:20.460 At this point. 22:21.190 --> 22:25.090 What that the court and the loans that fit fever shed was years 22:25.120 --> 22:28.750 ago consumer. Well the secretary spoke to there's just a couple 22:28.750 --> 22:32.980 of days ago and parents and he conveyed that they agree we need 22:32.980 --> 22:35.470 to work together to bring an end to the suffering of the Syrian 22:35.470 --> 22:39.160 people that they agree the Geneva communication be the basis 22:39.160 --> 22:42.450 of the conference they the re that there's no military solution 22:42.450 --> 22:45.750 and that's why we should present a place a political process 22:46.050 --> 22:50.380 and they agreed also to work together on achieving some of these. 22:51.080 --> 22:54.590 Some of these areas of progress that we hope to make progress 22:54.590 --> 22:56.570 than including cease fires including. 22:57.200 --> 23:01.930 The media the possibility of prisoner swaps including humanitarian access. 23:01.930 --> 23:05.220 So those are the areas that that they've talked about a cream 23:05.540 --> 23:10.500 yes on british. He's you pause the guiding the that that the 23:10.660 --> 23:14.890 people I mean there will be the For us said that asian people 23:15.340 --> 23:19.260 already the F trying to be like some kind of side and getting 23:19.300 --> 23:23.670 signed the the United States to you some european countries given 23:23.670 --> 23:27.340 the chance to see if something I haven't seen those reports and 23:27.340 --> 23:30.100 for it have to take a closer look at them. So intrusive thing 23:30.380 --> 23:31.390 you like the with that. 23:32.190 --> 23:34.720 I'm not gonna speculate on our way having seen can. 23:35.480 --> 23:40.470 Sure. Afghanistan there was a tech on a restaurant that never 23:40.470 --> 23:43.090 foreigners maybe of london cages and just wondering if you for 23:43.090 --> 23:44.250 with many americans. 23:45.420 --> 23:49.630 And well we are aware of their lives in an attack on a restaurant 23:49.630 --> 23:52.950 cobbled weakened them. Of course the despicable acts of terrorism 23:52.950 --> 23:56.490 in the strongest possible terms all chief of mission personnel 23:56.820 --> 24:00.640 are accounted for we're learning more about the situation on 24:00.640 --> 24:05.250 the ground as we seek. So I can confirm either details or other 24:05.250 --> 24:06.990 reports that they do. 24:08.000 --> 24:11.230 Is he or she pursuing this deaf. 24:12.490 --> 24:16.490 Anymore I guess I just a form of a plan that I'm nigeria in june 24:16.490 --> 24:19.820 the report said as many as three a gay men had been arrested 24:19.820 --> 24:22.750 and one hundred sixty others are being pursued on patches of 24:22.860 --> 24:26.040 the anti gay laws. There is less of the city promised friday 24:26.040 --> 24:30.050 confirm those reports any updates on that I don't believe adapted 24:30.050 --> 24:32.970 on the specific numbers that have been out there. Obviously we 24:33.080 --> 24:36.880 expressed our concerns about these reports it's faster concerns about. 24:37.430 --> 24:41.480 I the Legislation as well on. 24:42.400 --> 24:46.220 When the seabed is having a new one here on earth and the specific 24:46.250 --> 24:49.180 numbers and we're somewhere down uninhabited check and see if 24:49.180 --> 24:53.170 it is often difficult to confirm out specific numbers along this 24:53.170 --> 24:56.460 line of the human rights campaign first in the last eight point 24:56.460 --> 24:59.950 in the state department to use every available to tool to demonstrate 24:59.950 --> 25:03.410 Nigeria's jeopardises international standing by touting its intel 25:03.410 --> 25:06.290 which cuban citizens and said before there was no talk of stations 25:06.290 --> 25:09.340 are loss of it but that's the case AOL what options are on the table. 25:10.370 --> 25:13.420 I don't have any new options outlined three at this point. 25:13.420 --> 25:17.200 I think we've been very clear and expressing their concerns and 25:17.490 --> 25:21.300 and the in how deeply concerned we are about the impact. 25:22.130 --> 25:26.480 All on all Nigerian of this plot. So I'd also important to note 25:26.540 --> 25:28.180 that a great deal of our funding. 25:28.790 --> 25:35.020 It goes to the Programs including a j.p. HIV prevention and human 25:35.020 --> 25:38.810 rights out programs that programs they're committing fundamental freedoms. 25:39.350 --> 25:42.890 Programs are finding that often goes to have far so those are 25:42.890 --> 25:45.150 programs that obviously we continue to support. 25:45.740 --> 25:48.970 When it's time to get that as jeff that offending and related 25:48.970 --> 25:52.320 topic other posey began as a for the sent back to parliament 25:52.610 --> 25:55.630 on that country's edit on the sexuality bill on succumb aware 25:55.630 --> 25:58.850 that Iraq's there.

I in light 26:33.820 --> 26:37.230 of pending litigation. We're unable to comment further on this 26:37.230 --> 26:41.850 matter as with the standard can you say whether on your doing it. 26:42.710 --> 26:46.930 A year old an independent investigation on I don't have that 26:46.960 --> 26:50.390 I don't have anything on that festive general more storms position. 26:50.550 --> 26:53.190 I'm happy to check on the specific details of its. 26:54.250 --> 26:55.140 Answer them. 26:56.060 --> 26:59.840 I'll of those the formal name.

I would play to the white house and 29:35.650 --> 29:38.340 see if there's more they would like to lay out on that front. 29:39.090 --> 29:42.620 Yeah yeah he punched in the students since the state department 29:42.620 --> 29:44.700 handles foreign relations for the country. 29:45.230 --> 29:48.670 What does what is to depart since the definition of friendly 29:48.730 --> 29:52.240 openness can if I don't have any for their definition for all 29:52.240 --> 29:55.900 of you obviously our focus now is working to implement these 29:55.900 --> 29:58.900 recommendations moving forward to hear. 29:59.430 --> 30:02.930 From our friends and allies then and and I work with them to 30:02.930 --> 30:06.620 address concerns and and brief them on on what this will mean 30:06.620 --> 30:10.100 the thing for the do kind of on the list of friends and allies 30:10.100 --> 30:13.870 countries on tts dependent case appease the since I just don't 30:13.870 --> 30:16.700 think I mean I have much more pre on this particular question 30:16.810 --> 30:20.230 and then one more hole monday would do in case the one of the 30:20.230 --> 30:24.720 fence which is a key ally the fight against Teddy's and melinda 30:24.720 --> 30:28.060 Beck entry passes on some implicit christingle country. 30:28.090 --> 30:31.740 They have been stints in the past what would you point to seven 30:31.740 --> 30:34.270 lead sliema Clinton's. Well that sounds like the plot of the 30:34.270 --> 30:38.800 movie that was how it happened that fox is by far for you in 30:38.800 --> 30:41.930 the custody classified documents and they're going to speculate 30:41.930 --> 30:44.540 on that out what the speaker's about today was. 30:45.170 --> 30:49.160 It was laying out the outcome of the review and the prices for 30:49.160 --> 30:52.820 moving forward and that's that's that's the do nothing to do 30:52.820 --> 30:56.480 you think this this new move will go on to do with attention 30:56.480 --> 30:59.700 the U.S. had and his friends and allies point but financial. 31:00.350 --> 31:03.260 And so they can use their our home dip is its announcement of 31:03.260 --> 31:06.720 the duty with it had been did you see that tension between you 31:06.720 --> 31:07.340 listen is fine. 31:08.550 --> 31:12.820 Well again I think of they've infected joe obviously it shows 31:12.820 --> 31:14.980 the president's commitment the review itself. 31:15.680 --> 31:19.300 And the work that the inter agency did and coming up with these recommendations. 31:19.840 --> 31:23.050 Of the president's commitment to this shows and the United States 31:23.050 --> 31:28.170 commitment to addressing these concerns to to taking them seriously 31:28.170 --> 31:31.970 into working to move forward and given how important these issues 31:31.970 --> 31:34.100 are add to our friends and allies around the world. 31:34.970 --> 31:41.310 It's refused that undertaking that no room for smooth pms disclosures. 31:41.410 --> 31:42.980 Well that's impossible for me there. 31:43.490 --> 31:45.300 To evaluate what. 31:45.840 --> 31:49.470 Because it's looking back into that scenario that it can actually 31:49.470 --> 31:54.030 the reality of what we play you don't think that that is revelations 31:54.030 --> 31:58.280 were in large part would brother's review to a. 31:58.790 --> 31:59.320 To happen. 32:00.320 --> 32:04.060 Hard for me to speculate on isr. Obviously important point here 32:04.060 --> 32:07.620 is that the presidents of the review he announced the app another 32:07.620 --> 32:09.880 view today and I focuses on moving far. 32:10.430 --> 32:13.510 He'd actually a breached any of your allies of what is this a 32:13.590 --> 32:18.390 steak we're picking up prior to probe. Yes. I am handicap that's 32:18.390 --> 32:19.140 the way from that. 32:20.210 --> 32:23.430 And And sure. 32:24.140 --> 32:28.370 Is he knew that you to the from the I believe that if you listen 32:28.370 --> 32:31.930 to the question. I have a specific question the Palestinian dating 32:31.930 --> 32:37.510 to actually know that very often you are in fact you are negotiating 32:37.540 --> 32:41.250 on behalf of from the to confirm with an art that has not been 32:41.250 --> 32:44.650 the case. I haven't seen those those comments that you know there then. 32:45.550 --> 32:48.190 Rounds and rounds of negotiations. But I don't have any other 32:48.190 --> 32:51.540 for their update on the decision days these that that is the 32:51.570 --> 32:53.030 rules of the confusion. 32:53.530 --> 33:00.070 That. If on for the The option that do not include the right 33:00.070 --> 33:03.940 to confront things. Well I stayed as you know we're working with 33:03.940 --> 33:07.670 both sides on a framework for negotiations moving for that addresses 33:07.670 --> 33:11.370 all the core issues. But I'm not going outlined three were project 33:11.370 --> 33:15.150 with the outcome out what what the final agreement of the free 33:15.180 --> 33:18.420 one month. I mean I understand that this sets a lot of presented 33:18.420 --> 33:22.290 it on and is it so would you say idea that's not actually an 33:22.290 --> 33:26.420 accurate depiction of what happened there the Wall but a He's 33:26.420 --> 33:29.810 working on a framework based on ideas and inured crumble gaskets 33:29.810 --> 33:33.510 ezoe would it be fair to say that everyone is on the same page 33:33.540 --> 33:38.070 about the On not of out what the ultimate frame warm looks like 33:38.410 --> 33:42.740 but on you know given the ideas is everyone in the same page 33:42.740 --> 33:46.450 of of how they move forward in terms of what he presented to them. 33:47.150 --> 33:50.340 Well I think the way you describe that it is accurate and that 33:50.340 --> 33:53.110 it's it's working with both eyes on the ideas coming from all 33:53.110 --> 33:54.930 five obviously there isn't. 33:55.900 --> 33:59.180 Both parties haven't agreed to what the framework would look 33:59.180 --> 34:03.330 like otherwise you would now right and there are clearly as would 34:03.330 --> 34:06.790 come as no surprise to anyone up pieces that each side feels 34:06.790 --> 34:10.210 strongly about up those core issues that they're discussing. 34:10.210 --> 34:14.860 So that it's not it's not agreed to yet otherwise you would is 34:14.860 --> 34:19.800 not new it there's not like that a draft that would be like that 34:19.800 --> 34:23.630 same brackets is something they you are angry astor court yet. 34:24.040 --> 34:27.540 Another man that's not the state run by a guy in the future of 34:27.640 --> 34:32.780 the discussion will say the entered in the why then you are often 34:33.180 --> 34:37.210 and between you and it's really a bit between coffins and ladies 34:37.250 --> 34:39.980 of the field to follow the about heaven we've known what the 34:39.980 --> 34:43.630 core issues that then for some time for decades and that so the 34:43.630 --> 34:46.340 goal here is to address the core issues. They've been many ideas 34:46.340 --> 34:49.120 out there about how to do that and the question of how we get 34:49.120 --> 34:50.360 to a point where we can have. 34:50.900 --> 34:54.620 Framer great negotiations moving for that addresses the Couric you. 34:55.140 --> 34:58.780 Know you you move that that's that's and he didn't want the issue 34:58.780 --> 35:02.720 of the Follow up committee of the peace initiative how could 35:02.720 --> 35:06.550 you tell us what were the and the fifth issue for the follow 35:06.550 --> 35:09.200 up committee and what the absolute mortgage update them on. 35:10.040 --> 35:13.370 I will be updated them on the status of the negotiation since 35:13.370 --> 35:16.350 the last time they met there wasn't a dicker discussion about 35:16.350 --> 35:20.670 a framework. So certainly the secretary updated them on that 35:20.710 --> 35:24.380 and the process of the ongoing process and of course for the 35:24.380 --> 35:27.140 purpose is to hear from them as well given the significant stake. 35:27.140 --> 35:30.110 They have again if he can do discussion with the full committee 35:30.460 --> 35:35.730 on sort of the Redefining the mechanism for recommends reluctance. 35:36.610 --> 35:40.410 I think that addresses the couple and knows that the rumor that 35:40.590 --> 35:44.320 we were asking to an end the year of peace mission of that impressed. 35:45.140 --> 35:49.400 Of Shown on other nationalities and reports of the so-called 35:49.400 --> 35:52.790 questioned in line in the chechen leader of the coup warm man 35:52.790 --> 35:59.070 off and Care terrorists had been killed and changed confine and 35:59.070 --> 36:02.430 if night that then perhaps we're probably going to change in 36:02.430 --> 36:06.100 the level security of our threat that the U.S. perceives running 36:06.100 --> 36:10.130 on X either hasn't been any danger update that since we last 36:10.130 --> 36:12.990 talked about the security pieces.
