Full video of new Assad interview

[img]https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/full-video-of-new-assad-interview/

President Assad: It’s not about May and Trump; it’s about the Western politicians in general, the Western regimes in general. They don’t accept anyone who has a different point of view, any country, any government, any personality. That’s the case with Syria; Syria is very independent in its political positions, we work for our national interests, we’re not a puppet state. They don’t accept this reality. So, the whole approach toward Syria in the West is “we have to change this government, we have to demonize this president, because they don’t suit our policies anymore.” This is the situation, everything else is like flavors; they tell lies, they talk about chemical weapons, they talk about the bad president killing the good people, freedom, peaceful demonstration; all these lies are flavors for the main goal, which is regime change.

So, my answer to your question about how I see it is: this is colonial policy, that’s how we see it, and this is not new. They have never changed this policy since the old way of colonialism that existed in the beginning of the 20th century and the 19th century and before, but today it’s covered by, let’s say, a new mask, or different masks.

Wow!

North Korean leader anxious about military coup

Kim Jong-un to leave regime in hands of his right-hand man during absence

Choe Ryong-hae, who is believed to be North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's right-hand man, is expected to stay in Pyongyang during Kim's summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Singapore on June 12, according to sources familiar with Pyongyang.

Kim Jong-un is expected to stay in Singapore for at least a couple of days until the summit. And he worries that his trip could expose him to a military coup or other attempts to unseat him back home, according to the Washington Post.

Breaking: Italy's new interior minister has refused permission for a rescue vessel to drop off more than 600 migrants picked up off Libya's coast.

Mr Salvini said on Sunday Italy was saying "no to human trafficking, no to the business of illegal immigration".

He also complained, on Facebook that: "Malta takes in nobody. France pushes people back at the border, Spain defends its frontier with weapons."

The migrant rescue charity SOS Méditerranée, which runs the Aquarius, said 629 migrants had been picked up in six different rescue operations off Libya's coast on Sunday.

The charity's spokesperson, Mathilde Auvillain, said the ship had received orders to head north and was now awaiting "definitive instructions".

Orders from whom? George Soros?

Its google translated so a bit weak but the news itself is great. Fruits of new Italian government it will be different from now on. Not just Italy


Italy refused the arrival of a ship with immigrants, which is now waiting in the middle of the sea

The Aquarius rescue boat with 629 immigrants stuck in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea after the new Italian minister, Matteo Salvini, did not allow the ship to sail to the Italian port, and the Maltese authorities refused his call for the ship to be taken by Malta.

According to Valette, the German humanitarian organization SOS Mediterranee picked up immigrants in Libyan waters, which means that the ship with immigrants is now under Italian law. According to the ship, the Italian Rescue Coordination Center has ordered them to remain in the current position, which is about 35 nautical miles from Sicily and 27 nautical miles from Malta. On board, there are immigrants who have been rescued in six rescue operations.

"Our goal is to land in a safe harbor and escort 629 migrants who are now at Aqarius - some of us were saved at night in difficult conditions, " said a spokeswoman for the humanitarian organization, Mathilde Auvillain.

The United Nations Immigration Service in Italy has called on the country and urged a quick solution to ensure that migrants on board Aquarius arrive safely and quickly on land.

There are 629 refugees on board, about 400 of whom were rescued by the Italian Navy, the Italian Coast Guard and merchant ships, and then transferred to the Aquarius. According to SOS Mediadranée, 123 unaccompanied minors are on board, 11 children and seven pregnant women. The BBC quotes journalist Anelisa Borges, who is on Aquarius that minors are between 13 and 17 years of age, coming from Eritrea, Ghana, Nigeria and Sudan. One of the crew members of the ship, Alessandro Porro , told the Sky TG24 television station that there are also immigrants on board who have been rescued under very difficult conditions. "At least 50 were in danger of drowning."

The new interior minister, Salvini, the leader of the League, who announced a sharper policy towards immigrants in the pre-election campaign, said on Sunday that Italy says " not" trafficking in human beings "is not" a deal with illegal immigration ". "Malta does not accept anyone. France sends people back to the border, Spain is defending its border with weapons," he said, obstructing the attitude of other countries.

Malta rejected a ship with 119 immigrants
on Friday. On Friday, Malta refused a 119-strong ship, so the ship that was in distress had to enter the Italian port. The Maltese Government soon denied any irregularities. Salvini was very critical of Malta for refusing to accept immigrants. " Our Maltese friends can tell us how many ships with immigrants have entered their ports in 2018? How many people have landed, how many asylum applications were dealt with and how much they have approved? Italy wants to solve the problems, not to create, " he said . He added that "it is impossible for Malta to reject a request for assistance.
