I have about 03:45.800 --> 03:49.250 whether or not there was formation between state department of 03:49.250 --> 03:53.010 justice an inch and a components of the five. Chinese. 03:54.890 --> 03:56.580 Computer alleged computer actors. 03:57.310 --> 04:00.830 Of the state department and receive advance notice of the long 04:00.890 --> 04:04.820 horsemen action and the United States routinely approaches foreign 04:04.820 --> 04:08.060 governments prior to and ceiling indictment to request their system. 04:08.630 --> 04:11.940 Of state from is involved in communicating with foreign governments 04:12.210 --> 04:15.290 on these matters and this case was consistent with that approach. 04:15.940 --> 04:17.460 So to that comes this phones. 04:18.040 --> 04:22.140 So that so the mother of review saying isn't dependent versus computer. 04:22.170 --> 04:23.160 We're gonna do this. 04:23.870 --> 04:27.820 And who said that the building so ok and then you and for the 04:27.820 --> 04:30.890 chinese of before the announcement. So what's known as well but 04:30.890 --> 04:33.240 as a lot about the timeline of things death. 04:33.800 --> 04:36.680 Okay we so sold with governments on a regular basis says the 04:36.680 --> 04:40.510 state department to the state department of think that it was 04:40.510 --> 04:41.540 a good idea. 04:42.690 --> 04:43.540 To do this. 04:44.460 --> 04:47.770 As matt as I said yesterday the this announcement is consistent 04:47.770 --> 04:51.560 with the concerns that we've expressed our publicly many times 04:51.590 --> 04:55.760 about five the actions of china as it relates to cyber security 04:55.820 --> 04:58.890 and I was certainly are supportive of this this announcement 04:58.890 --> 05:00.700 bookend given that the reaction. 05:01.280 --> 05:04.700 Of the chinese government to indictment that even the justice 05:04.700 --> 05:07.410 department doesn't think it will ever be able to prosecute. 05:08.430 --> 05:09.930 And the fact that. 05:10.630 --> 05:14.070 It happened as president in was flying. 05:14.620 --> 05:15.360 To china. 05:16.970 --> 05:18.690 Can you explain how this was not an. 05:19.790 --> 05:22.290 What seems to be just an epic. 05:23.720 --> 05:26.090 A Aiming disaster. 05:27.070 --> 05:29.500 Well met again. We're supporter of. 05:30.580 --> 05:33.560 Steps taken the present has been supported the secretariat that 05:33.560 --> 05:38.170 has been supporters as it relates to opt stating concerns and 05:38.170 --> 05:41.640 taking actions as a list of concerns about china's actions and 05:41.670 --> 05:45.790 this is consistent with that but but you all for the iphone walton 05:45.930 --> 05:47.330 seeking chinese hell. 05:47.920 --> 05:51.280 Cooperation on any number of issues ranging from north korea 05:51.280 --> 05:56.520 to them and ran to syria to wear out there right and even. 05:56.520 --> 05:59.530 Yeah read that doesn't change. The fact that there with china 05:59.530 --> 06:03.650 or any country one way of concerns are when there's Aeon force 06:03.650 --> 06:07.700 in action in these to be taken that still for seats and at the 06:07.700 --> 06:12.320 same time. So you are engaged in predatory discussions for the 06:12.350 --> 06:13.760 us and the guy we are. 06:15.440 --> 06:19.100 So I don't know I just find it very very difficult to believe 06:19.100 --> 06:20.140 that the state department. 06:20.960 --> 06:25.460 Would say to the justice apartment. Ok. Yeah this is a good idea. 06:25.490 --> 06:28.290 What's and aussies indictment switch. We're never gonna prosecute. 06:28.370 --> 06:29.460 It's just for show. 06:30.140 --> 06:33.580 As the attorney general served as of a wake-up call of the. Chinese. 06:35.380 --> 06:39.730 And in there and that the and you just basically drove the chinese 06:39.760 --> 06:45.220 into mass all ups anger about that is combining a few things 06:45.220 --> 06:49.390 in our view of the president couldn't is on a trip at to attend 06:49.390 --> 06:52.240 the conference and interaction and confidence building measures 06:52.240 --> 06:57.090 in asia on obviously on any country including rash second of 06:57.090 --> 07:00.870 course establish good relations of any country. They choose. 07:01.390 --> 07:04.630 Our view here and the fear of course the justice department was 07:04.630 --> 07:07.150 that these illegal actions required. 07:07.860 --> 07:11.510 The activities required action and we're hopeful that we can 07:11.540 --> 07:14.760 maintain a dialogue with china about cyber security in a range 07:14.760 --> 07:17.610 of other hills locate. So we're hopeful that you can move in 07:17.610 --> 07:20.930 a battle of the chinese of canceled suspended that working group. 07:20.930 --> 07:21.850 So that's not happen. 07:23.600 --> 07:26.470 And the chinese and the russians put out a joint statement today 07:26.470 --> 07:29.400 that ukraine which is certainly gonna be disappointing to use 07:29.400 --> 07:30.800 it to hoping to exploit. 07:31.430 --> 07:34.800 What was the what some people perceive to be as a rift between 07:34.830 --> 07:38.160 chinese and russian I just don't understand how someone in this 07:38.160 --> 07:41.890 building didn't say to the attorney general this is incredibly 07:41.890 --> 07:43.500 short slighted. If we must. 07:44.610 --> 07:48.130 Announce indictment of people that we know with them that we 07:48.130 --> 07:52.130 know they're going to infuriated chinese and make them less likely 07:52.130 --> 07:52.930 to cooperate. 07:53.980 --> 07:55.860 And that the same time. We also know that we're never going to 07:55.860 --> 07:58.310 prosecute them because the chinese immigrant from over. 07:59.240 --> 08:02.820 I understand how someone can say wait this is not a good idea 08:03.220 --> 08:06.100 mist falling for right. Now this is going to make the chinese 08:06.100 --> 08:09.740 more willing to deal with them and to the SME do use being with 08:09.740 --> 08:13.820 the with with the strategic and economic dialogue is being prepared right. 08:13.820 --> 08:18.100 Now the secretary and and century liu or heading to china in 08:18.230 --> 08:19.010 six weeks. 08:19.760 --> 08:23.770 I was this not really sure cited why not wait to in that season 08:23.770 --> 08:26.600 pavements which are never going to be able to prosecute until 08:26.630 --> 08:30.270 after at least the SME the whole we expect and to understand 08:30.270 --> 08:32.950 what these are a handful of individuals that broken the law and 08:33.170 --> 08:35.640 that's why they've given the fact that they protested that they've 08:35.720 --> 08:37.360 hit they've suspended this dialogue. 08:37.950 --> 08:41.800 And now they're talking about military reviewed military ramifications 08:41.800 --> 08:45.840 for military cooperation you read and they've holder ambassador 08:45.840 --> 08:50.310 and to be to keep to hear their complaints the chinese ambassador 08:50.310 --> 08:52.150 is computer to complain. 08:52.700 --> 08:54.890 You. At a that having to go. 08:55.800 --> 08:59.110 As the their views of the chinese were shared with ambassador 08:59.110 --> 09:03.050 and non of the interesting that the chinese are going to be cooperative 09:03.050 --> 09:06.290 Widow the share range of issues that we work closely together 09:06.320 --> 09:10.290 and that's and and so you had well you you haven't seen any deterioration 09:10.290 --> 09:12.650 in the relationship since yesterday once an up close with. 09:13.620 --> 09:16.430 Again that we've seen the concerns that expressed we believe 09:16.430 --> 09:20.240 we have a relationship on a range of important economic strategic 09:20.490 --> 09:23.660 security issues and we're looking for destiny the that. 09:24.560 --> 09:28.330 Up so according to the chinese foreign ministry the U.S. 09:28.330 --> 09:32.570 investor to china will sell them yesterday after the announcement 09:32.620 --> 09:36.640 on monday that and starting to the statement about this meeting 09:36.890 --> 09:42.320 is says on the U.S. has long been walking set for security activities 09:42.490 --> 09:45.660 including against a china and the that's gonna end the chinese 09:45.660 --> 09:50.290 government in my main thing that prominent to make a clear explanation 09:50.700 --> 09:54.610 about what a test down and in the police stops such activities. 09:54.880 --> 09:59.470 So I wonder art you can see they're a kind of making explanations 09:59.500 --> 10:04.480 and hall will you deal. Let's deal with these the minds again. 10:04.480 --> 10:07.410 I would reiterate what I said yesterday which is that we expect 10:07.410 --> 10:11.050 the chinese government understand that so yes she's announcement 10:11.050 --> 10:14.770 relates to law enforcement investigation of individuals with 10:14.770 --> 10:19.160 stone intellectual papyri fan gain eight seats businesses and 10:19.410 --> 10:21.830 their range of senior officials that's the into this from the 10:21.860 --> 10:23.190 United States government and I would. 10:23.790 --> 10:24.690 The that at their home. 10:25.310 --> 10:29.640 As you already nations a we understood this Casey's. Maybe we 10:29.670 --> 10:34.060 can tell that the BOJ who but obviously if we can see that the 10:34.060 --> 10:38.620 elements self sign on guest relations are deeply involved in 10:38.620 --> 10:43.830 this case result in this case when she is in your field. Of course 10:44.090 --> 10:47.980 still will you work with BOJ when communicating with the BOJ 10:47.980 --> 10:54.020 about this case and on Seoul also be size come back to dialogue 10:54.060 --> 10:58.030 with the chinese government will you make other after its to 10:58.300 --> 11:02.030 solve this problem. Well this is Aeon porcelain action as they 11:02.260 --> 11:05.400 see a few minutes after we receive advance notice of the one 11:05.400 --> 11:10.170 for from action given the role the United States routinely approaches 11:10.170 --> 11:13.810 it plays an encouraging foreign governments prior to unfeeling indictment. 11:14.320 --> 11:17.980 Again we have a range of means of communicating with the chinese 11:17.980 --> 11:22.660 and the fact that the from as we know chen Yi the chinese government's 11:22.660 --> 11:26.810 wants you guys to with the to our conviction that still you said 11:26.840 --> 11:29.670 that I'll open smearing portend with the chinese government but 11:29.700 --> 11:34.070 in the stylus hollow you digest this the shanghai will negotiate 11:34.100 --> 11:37.030 with that letter direction. You are trying to win the joy of 11:37.030 --> 11:40.900 this case workers wei the chinese economy and improving the inter-reaction. 11:41.440 --> 11:46.280 The injury act BOJ action very huge a action as consistent with 11:46.560 --> 11:50.430 the statement that the present a state sector. If state and many 11:50.430 --> 11:54.830 a crafty administration have made about our concerns. I'll via believed. 11:54.830 --> 11:59.060 I love this the best path to continuing our relationship and 11:59.060 --> 12:03.540 so where would we expect help from also one of the top of that 12:03.540 --> 12:05.480 the chinese government since the it's tricky. 12:06.020 --> 12:10.300 Many kids are they're obviously we have a A large and the sea 12:10.300 --> 12:13.000 presence on the ground is you know the ambassador himself was 12:13.000 --> 12:16.220 speaking with the chinese government so yes we have been shaky 12:16.220 --> 12:19.830 geothermal a dial up and I don't have any details now that they're 12:19.830 --> 12:23.210 going to be genuine did anyone from those buildings suggest BOJ 12:23.260 --> 12:27.260 planning that this was about when you open and a snap an every 12:27.260 --> 12:29.900 down any internal deliberations are discussions that. 12:30.860 --> 12:32.530 Okay because the impression that you leaving. 12:33.140 --> 12:36.590 And they've you intend to be that is that the stayed on was fully 12:36.590 --> 12:40.280 on board with this no when the kind of reaction that it would 12:40.430 --> 12:43.080 report from the chinese milling. 12:43.960 --> 12:47.490 The the president of washer who you're involved in a huge. 12:48.210 --> 12:52.290 Debacle with over ukraine was going there and knowing that you 12:52.290 --> 12:55.640 have or in the midst of darien for preparations for the security 12:55.640 --> 12:58.780 and economic on that threat pieces. They you stated now only 12:58.810 --> 13:02.020 will those housewife said they were consistent this is this state 13:02.050 --> 13:05.570 this action was consistent with comments. We've made and concerns it. 13:05.570 --> 13:08.740 That's what I understand that but no one in this building full. 13:09.320 --> 13:12.460 That it might be better for the department justice if they were 13:12.460 --> 13:15.770 gonna go ahead with this at some point in an issue indictment 13:15.800 --> 13:18.290 that never going to be prosecuted that they might when there 13:18.290 --> 13:21.890 was no change and is not going to get into internal deliberate. 13:21.890 --> 13:25.050 Trouble is understanding who wanted and the old liberation. 13:25.050 --> 13:27.740 So you came lee taking the heat. 13:28.620 --> 13:32.090 Here but it is there something else going on behind the scenes 13:32.120 --> 13:36.980 it would be very helpful to to know because it just looks like 13:37.370 --> 13:40.230 what I said before and it will circuit epic failure. 13:41.060 --> 13:44.830 I'm going to die that the failure but in epic to mistake in terms 13:44.830 --> 13:45.980 of time to think. 13:47.200 --> 13:50.180 Not a public believing that that the the situation worse and 13:50.180 --> 13:53.930 doing it in again there was an action taken by the department 13:53.930 --> 13:56.720 of justice. That's consistent with the concerned with Ex ante. 13:58.450 --> 14:00.100 The lesson easy. Yes absolutely. 14:01.380 --> 14:04.500 The more anti foreigner more and more than 900 of in my mind 14:04.500 --> 14:09.470 china russia. And on a wooden stick to it that time and that 14:09.470 --> 14:12.960 the said and they in in china and russia a is having an effect 14:12.960 --> 14:17.390 for five newsstands seat and a it is reported is the first time. 14:18.050 --> 14:18.810 The things. 14:19.430 --> 14:20.170 He's jesse. 14:21.020 --> 14:26.310 I We'll do have some common and it is important that the physics aside. 14:26.560 --> 14:27.850 It's that kind of reaction. 14:28.580 --> 14:34.760 Gains. That dozens of others in two and a into a new balance 14:34.790 --> 14:35.260 to meet each. 14:36.140 --> 14:39.490 And what then was just wondering how an icon that Anand in is 14:39.490 --> 14:43.210 speculation that obviously a as they stated a few minutes ago. 14:43.210 --> 14:46.320 We believe russia should it seek to establish. Good relations 14:46.320 --> 14:50.080 with all of its neighbors I wouldn't notes and that they issued 14:50.080 --> 14:53.680 a joint statement and in that statement they call upon all States 14:53.680 --> 14:56.780 and not interfere in other countries' internal affairs and in 14:56.780 --> 15:01.150 that spirit of the again would call for russia to stop its efforts 15:01.380 --> 15:06.080 to be stabilized and Yes and the china yes on the markets this 15:06.110 --> 15:10.390 earlier but I'm leaders across asia meaning that it will be different 15:10.390 --> 15:13.100 and interaction and confidence but in the middle east and asia 15:13.220 --> 15:15.400 from germany comments on that conference. 15:16.210 --> 15:19.400 I don't have any particular comment. No armpits conference that 15:19.520 --> 15:22.650 many asian andrew that is that there's an improvement attending. 15:22.650 --> 15:26.020 But I would play to the attendees and hopes for any specific. 15:26.660 --> 15:30.230 So the a russian presidents will be participating on them to 15:30.230 --> 15:33.250 be meeting with their shooting pain mother many concerns this 15:33.250 --> 15:36.910 could be years as an opportunity to isolate the U.S. again rations 15:36.980 --> 15:39.840 seek to establish. Good relations with our neighbors that is 15:39.840 --> 15:43.170 that we have our own relationship with china and a range of countries 15:43.200 --> 15:43.770 in the region. 15:44.640 --> 15:48.120 China or any topic but come to there's going to change it doesn't 15:48.120 --> 15:51.560 ease the download with steel figures years until it's likely 15:51.560 --> 15:55.200 to go ahead. And do you think of this book is that that could 15:55.200 --> 15:59.120 be a good place to and resolve these these tensions. 15:59.630 --> 16:04.750 And Is any talk of maybe delaying than that of that there's no 16:04.810 --> 16:09.480 talk of that at this point and and again there's a range of on important. 16:10.000 --> 16:13.600 Issues that we work together with the chinese from other issues 16:13.600 --> 16:17.250 that followed their rubric of this building or the treasury Department's 16:17.250 --> 16:22.560 and We expect the can have a a full agenda the ethnic the conference 16:22.560 --> 16:26.130 that there's any question. Ok care surprisingly go ahead of an 16:26.500 --> 16:30.020 early one recent move by china convecting industry was payments 16:30.050 --> 16:32.970 using that faith or have you reached the point but enough is 16:32.970 --> 16:36.360 enough news that downloaded it are playing and they've got done 16:36.360 --> 16:40.890 that then we naked system li expressed our concern services. 16:41.420 --> 16:46.970 I actually am so consistently bad and in the this action by the 16:46.970 --> 16:50.260 department of Justice's relates to a handful of individuals who 16:50.260 --> 16:51.240 have violated the law. 16:52.360 --> 16:56.080 It. The formed and the viewers and with ameliorate and the chinese 16:56.080 --> 16:58.840 you choose that moment on the server will several believe there 16:58.840 --> 17:01.170 and they love and then we regret the decision they made lying 17:01.200 --> 17:04.410 cyber discussion. Severity is is important for us and that's 17:04.410 --> 17:07.410 it but right now as of this moment right now you expect that 17:07.440 --> 17:10.530 the that that there will be discussions on cyber security as 17:10.530 --> 17:13.680 part of the esa needy that was on the original agenda. I know 17:13.840 --> 17:16.550 I understand that I can make a prediction about whether they 17:16.550 --> 17:19.800 will be open to it in the next six weeks that certainly would 17:19.800 --> 17:22.430 support that. Okay that if you get taken off the agenda which 17:22.430 --> 17:25.660 it seems to have them already that's not I mean we're still ready 17:25.660 --> 17:29.400 to go even if they will even if they refused again to there are 17:29.400 --> 17:32.080 a range of ways that we can discuss a range of issues including. 17:32.770 --> 17:35.380 Never security I just wanted from from the U.S. point of view. 17:36.150 --> 17:39.180 This is not a bit of a mess and the guy breaker. 17:39.780 --> 17:44.050 Correct. Ok go ahead from the Wall from china. 17:44.870 --> 17:49.010 Hu and his until to statement the latest in the walking that 17:49.010 --> 17:54.590 part of that that will probably. Are hoping that the a the martial 17:54.590 --> 17:59.040 rule would be a time for action mountain view. You recently gave 17:59.040 --> 18:01.840 a boost from the military that it would be. 18:02.550 --> 18:08.540 Overreaction that marks the from cuban cuban defector of or who. 18:09.860 --> 18:13.580 Well we and we are of course following this the situation. 18:14.160 --> 18:18.910 Closely bit the and none of the army has stated publicly that 18:18.910 --> 18:21.280 it would be a temper action. We expect them to. 18:21.890 --> 18:25.980 Abide by their commitments and that this is a temp reaction to 18:25.980 --> 18:30.280 were proven violence and i've to respect and that they will respect 18:30.540 --> 18:34.980 and democratic institutions and we have remained in regular means 18:34.980 --> 18:38.820 that even with the military since the imposition of martial law 18:39.180 --> 18:42.690 and are continuing with the schedule of meetings our also in 18:42.690 --> 18:45.440 touch with the government would continue to urge the government's 18:45.440 --> 18:50.700 respect and the you know to to a first back to. 18:51.560 --> 18:55.280 Two of of refrain from violence and respect human rights low-rate 18:55.280 --> 18:59.630 encouraging all to do. That course and so have we been in close 18:59.630 --> 19:03.860 techy think big bakiev are key focus yours was was in our statement 19:03.860 --> 19:05.400 is encouraging. 19:06.140 --> 19:08.280 Com. I encouraging. 19:08.840 --> 19:12.100 Attraction a civil liberties and freedom of speech and free in 19:12.100 --> 19:15.080 the media included in a statement was some concern expressed 19:15.080 --> 19:18.040 about that are and so forth for. 19:18.560 --> 19:21.640 Of support for upcoming elections. Obviously that's up to thailand 19:21.640 --> 19:22.310 to determine. 19:22.850 --> 19:25.680 The next that's on that but but that that it there are those 19:25.680 --> 19:29.580 are principles in this case and The concerns of through person 19:29.580 --> 19:33.150 freedom media freedom of speech and a address service sector 19:33.150 --> 19:37.210 where do you still have the before we we still are gathering 19:37.210 --> 19:40.280 information that and so all of our concerns haven't been alleviate 19:40.280 --> 19:43.720 it but we're still looking at what's happening to do you believe 19:43.750 --> 19:47.310 you do you regard the declaration of martial war and the army 19:47.310 --> 19:51.000 taking control over the for a you believe that they persecuted crew. 19:51.840 --> 19:55.930 Have won that obviously the situation on the ground is very fluid 19:55.960 --> 19:59.900 and as you may know a martial law of the declaration of that 19:59.900 --> 20:04.360 is a lot for and Thai constitution and but I work certainly closely 20:04.360 --> 20:06.460 watching what's happening on the ground and we'll continue to 20:06.460 --> 20:10.120 make a valuations of what's have show you the this but the do 20:10.120 --> 20:15.310 you miss Russia's position is that until something extra constitutional happens. 20:16.510 --> 20:17.410 It's not a move. 20:18.180 --> 20:21.640 One just stating. What's allowed from the constitution and jingle 20:21.640 --> 20:24.700 there's always Windows and we've been losing his good looks a 20:24.700 --> 20:28.480 lot of orders and we from the democracy to which we freedom of 20:28.480 --> 20:30.030 speech for group of. 20:30.740 --> 20:34.100 Clearly that this this doesn't because you have concerns about 20:34.100 --> 20:35.350 them for those wondering though is it. 20:35.960 --> 20:36.740 Does something. 20:37.730 --> 20:40.960 No and not even just the pilot but in the case of any country 20:40.990 --> 20:45.540 does it have to be outside of the prosecution for you to decide. 20:46.580 --> 20:48.950 About whether or not it's approved for. 20:49.820 --> 20:52.410 Well we gonna go through this ridiculous exercise that we went 20:52.410 --> 20:56.940 through with egypt where you guys basically you know imported 20:56.940 --> 20:59.390 your so alston avoid calling it the crew. 21:00.520 --> 21:03.400 By deciding not to make a decision on whether it was or not. 21:03.990 --> 21:06.740 I wouldn't compare this to and I'm not going to make a sweeping 21:06.740 --> 21:10.540 claim about how we look at each situation. We're looking at thailand's 21:10.590 --> 21:14.770 individually calm and happening any names on anything and just 21:14.770 --> 21:17.950 knowing what's allowed four and the constitution and obviously 21:18.110 --> 21:22.630 the fact that the army has committed to I temporary action here 21:22.630 --> 21:25.320 that that this is a temp reaction is an important component of 21:25.320 --> 21:28.460 one that we will continue to lots of work but they say that it's painful. 21:30.160 --> 21:32.520 And that they committed that undermine democratic it's. 21:33.070 --> 21:36.690 Okay and so there won't be any kind of you without you would 21:36.690 --> 21:38.410 have to wait for you would wait. 21:39.370 --> 21:42.370 Before making any determination zone aid whether or not this 21:42.370 --> 21:43.370 triggers an account of. 21:44.220 --> 21:45.570 The Wall right now. 21:46.250 --> 21:49.160 If none of those traders have been told correct of. 21:50.300 --> 21:54.610 The with we have a human rights watch news to this morning that 21:54.850 --> 21:57.450 the marshaled will use the the far too quote. 21:58.200 --> 22:01.750 Well again I I think I'll stand by what i've stated in terms 22:01.750 --> 22:04.650 of what our views are the situation on the grounds that I don't 22:04.650 --> 22:08.050 have much more to add to it as a than to say that we have to 22:08.050 --> 22:11.200 leave all parties must work together to resolve differences through 22:11.200 --> 22:15.430 dialogue and find a way for it and this underscores the from 22:15.430 --> 22:18.360 what do they add that determined to determine the will of the 22:18.360 --> 22:21.750 Thai people but clearly it's a very fluid situation on the ground 22:21.750 --> 22:23.250 for watching it closely. 22:23.820 --> 22:28.270 The Or alleviate the jim moran found or a permanent avionics 22:28.270 --> 22:32.430 and maybe a guy you get that clear situation today that you did 22:32.430 --> 22:34.950 yesterday about this of what's going on in the game. 22:36.560 --> 22:42.050 And sure and. Moment. 22:46.460 --> 22:47.720 How did you know the system. 22:48.350 --> 22:52.980 Yeah the idea is that their actions and done by general Felipe 22:52.980 --> 22:56.960 there after the vehicle and many trickle and are you there in 22:56.960 --> 22:58.290 a way supporting what he's doing. 22:59.090 --> 23:02.640 Well over me first say and we and this is a question yesterday 23:02.790 --> 23:06.460 and I don't mind I tested practically and we've not had contact 23:06.640 --> 23:11.530 with him recently and we cannot condone or support and the actions 23:11.770 --> 23:16.100 are on the ground and and horribly assisted with these actions 23:16.240 --> 23:20.930 and so we are continuing to Connolly parties to refrain from 23:20.930 --> 23:23.930 violence in to seek those of this is for peaceful means there 23:23.930 --> 23:24.730 are a range of. 23:25.310 --> 23:28.790 Mechanisms to do that through the international community and 23:28.790 --> 23:32.830 we've been in touch with the poor said the antrim government. 23:32.830 --> 23:36.610 There david center filters just on the ground he's back in washington. 23:36.610 --> 23:40.550 Now add that he arranged meetings.

What's been happening over the last two couple 24:07.470 --> 24:08.510 of days. I should say. 24:09.110 --> 24:13.230 We have some concern about the gathering support on the ground again. 24:13.340 --> 24:17.720 It's a fluid situation watching closely. And me oblivious challenges 24:17.750 --> 24:21.740 and do require dial up. We think that is the best means for they 24:21.790 --> 24:24.880 remind you there. They've gone to play the transition over the 24:24.880 --> 24:28.700 last several years and we remain committed to supporting that 24:28.760 --> 24:30.130 as is evidenced by. 24:30.650 --> 24:33.870 The meeting the secretary have last week and continuing efforts 24:33.870 --> 24:37.720 by the United States the United kingdom a range of countries 24:37.720 --> 24:40.590 to to support that the as though the as transition moving forward 24:40.970 --> 24:43.530 the gentleman from if they insist that he's fighting. 24:44.180 --> 24:48.510 Sleeman's people that the relations and so on that that that 24:48.510 --> 24:52.280 the collide in many ways the tribal fuse and all these things 24:52.280 --> 24:56.990 and he claims and their their contacts at the with egypt and 24:57.310 --> 25:02.020 and possibly in of the european so you event he in fact envisions 25:02.020 --> 25:05.850 on-mall where africa can at least of them and games and make 25:06.210 --> 25:06.840 you view. 25:07.400 --> 25:11.790 I yeah I think I spoke to our contact or lack of contact and 25:11.790 --> 25:14.510 that lead to other countries.

Yes yesterday. 40:20.680 --> 40:24.360 At the ukrainian securities services according to reports detained 40:24.360 --> 40:27.560 a number of individuals who are in session of the Journal of 40:27.560 --> 40:31.930 credentials issued by the non-existent the nest people's republic 40:32.280 --> 40:35.980 of importantly they were carrying manned portable anti aircraft 40:35.980 --> 40:39.050 missiles and the transit their cars at the time of their detention. 40:39.050 --> 40:42.450 So I looked in your trunk lately. But I think it's unlikely you 40:42.450 --> 40:43.240 have those in their. 40:44.220 --> 40:49.970 And certainly that Israelis and questions. About the individual 40:49.970 --> 40:52.380 sun weathered. They were actually journalists a. 40:53.080 --> 40:55.850 You're saying that these people use these guys from word that 40:55.850 --> 40:58.420 came from the life. He's the of. 40:59.580 --> 41:04.390 The mayor of spin that trump of all we're big and they know that 41:04.700 --> 41:08.080 these are according to reports have conversations with ukrainians 41:08.080 --> 41:08.520 on that. 41:09.240 --> 41:13.240 He was conversations with United States. Yeah so you have raised 41:13.270 --> 41:17.890 the issue of these guys knew them for four years and they have 41:17.980 --> 41:21.500 come back and told you that we arrested them. We played them 41:21.500 --> 41:25.040 because they have weapons and the problem of our welfare range 41:25.040 --> 41:28.090 of reports that have been going on on the ground as well including 41:28.330 --> 41:31.000 a believe U.S. journalists have been reporting on this on the 41:31.000 --> 41:36.310 ground at about these individuals and What's that what they were 41:36.520 --> 41:39.600 hearing with them which certainly raises the question as to who 41:39.600 --> 41:45.360 they are well. Okay maybe the Possible yes yes the but the question 41:45.360 --> 41:46.330 is whether or not. 41:46.880 --> 41:50.300 You the U.S. government is relying on what works. 41:50.990 --> 41:55.840 From. Aavso or whether we prayed for east of specifically for view. 41:56.660 --> 42:00.780 That this is why they would pay a two to one of them with a bit 42:01.240 --> 42:04.480 and that of this is from our team on the ground was certainly 42:04.480 --> 42:08.030 in tech it and they really believe that the the these reports 42:08.110 --> 42:11.640 that they were the weapons the nature of the they were carrying 42:11.640 --> 42:13.570 weapons are credible. 42:14.210 --> 42:17.370 A then as their understanding where you believe that these people 42:17.400 --> 42:20.440 who've been detained are not necessarily for sink. It. 42:20.440 --> 42:24.350 Certainly raises that question because the the that are you there 42:24.350 --> 42:28.570 in the United States asking for clarification on whether they 42:28.570 --> 42:33.120 all in all warm weather with what so whether and 42:34.460 --> 42:37.860 Well whether they are actually pornified journalists in. 42:39.590 --> 42:40.290 If they all over. 42:41.060 --> 42:44.420 You would call the for the sure who you are that are focuses 42:44.420 --> 42:48.900 more on college games in in a press on the release of the International 42:48.900 --> 42:51.830 in ukrainian journalists have been detained by russian supper 42:51.830 --> 42:56.250 tests and many for weeks if not longer for the just won't work 42:56.250 --> 42:59.130 in this you so that they were in possession fake a. 43:00.110 --> 43:01.790 Press withdrawals preventing me. 43:02.300 --> 43:07.690 From the so-called people's them with over the We're with the 43:07.690 --> 43:12.050 de nest people's republic is that this non-existent minutes people's 43:12.050 --> 43:14.270 republic world self-proclaimed for unique. 43:14.960 --> 43:18.580 You goes to probe the end of the early that we've. 43:19.280 --> 43:22.510 There is that in itself a reason for a reasonable reason for 43:22.510 --> 43:25.330 the painter one they had preferential triplow.
