UK: We 'sent a signal' the 'world wont tolerate chemical weapons' — Boris Johnson 2018-04-15 15:17 SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «Well, most important point is that this has been a successful mission and we worked with our American friends, our French friends to degrade Assad's chemical weapons capability, that was the important point. And I hope that this will be a deterrent to him and, obviously I hope that it will mean no further humanitarian suffering by the Syrian people as a result of the use of chemical weapons. If he should be so cruel and so reckless as to do it again, that is a separate point, that's a separate proposition. And we would have to look together with our colleagues at what the options were then.» SOT, Journalist: «What sort of chemical weapon capability do you think has survived in Syria?» SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «It's hard for me to say, obviously about 105 cruise missiles were launched, there were three particular sites that were struck. We hope that that has degraded his capability, but at the very least what it has done is sent a signal that the world won't tolerate the continuos erosion of the taboo against chemical weapons and the psychological boundary that there used to be in people's minds about the use of such weapons needs to be restored. It's been there for a hundred years, there were no battlefield chemical weapons used at all during the Second World War, one of the most brutal conflicts humanity has ever seen, but we're now seeing it creeping up in the early years of the 21st century. Time for the world to say no, and that's what we've done.» SOT, Journalist: «Why was it right not to consult parliament before taking this action, in this case?» SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «Obviously, our prime consideration has to be the safety of our serving men and women and of course the effectiveness and speed of the operation and there's plenty of precedent for getting it done in this way, but of course the Prime Minister will be making a statement tomorrow to the House of Commons and I'm sure there will be every opportunity for people to make their views heard.» SOT, Journalist: «Just one more question. To what extent is the Skripal incident, the Salisbury incident, on your mind and sort of formulating the way the British government should respond to this?» SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «The Skripal poisoning is totally on my mind, because you see a kind of continuum from Salisbury to Syria in the reckless, contemptuous use of these chemical weapons, endangering public health in Salisbury in Wiltshire and completely indiscriminately killing civilians cowering in buildings in Douma in Eastern Ghouta. So, you see the same pattern of behaviour and that's why It's so important that, together with our American friends, our French friends, we stand up and say no.» SOT, Journalist: «So the message is to Russia as much as it is to the Syrian regime?» SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «The message is to anybody who would contemplate using these barbaric weapons that have been banned since 1925.» SOT, Journalist: «Thank you very much, sir.» SOT, Boris Johnson, UK Foreign Secretary: «Thank you.» United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson stated that the US, UK and France «sent a signal that the world won't tolerate the continuos erosion of the taboo against chemical weapons» during an interview in London, Sunday, following US-led airstrikes on Syria. «The Skripal poisoning is totally on my mind, because you see a kind of continuum from Salisbury to Syria in the reckless, contemptuous use of these chemical weapons,» added Johnson before claiming to be «endangering public health in Salisbury in Wiltshire and completely indiscriminately killing civilians cowering in buildings in Douma in Eastern Ghouta.» The US, UK and France la Poland: Locals react to vandalism of Soviet army monument 2018-04-15 15:32 People came to inspect a monument to Soviet soldiers, in Warsaw, on Sunday morning, after it was defaced with red paint the previous day.

According to reports, the attackers were activists of the 'Confederation of Independent Poland'. Police were present when the monument was splashed with paint, however, they did not intervene. One activist Eugeniusz Szostak said that «We believe that the monuments of the Soviet army, which allegedly liberated Poland, have no reason to exist in the Polish public space.» The monument, unveiled on September 15, 1946, reads, «Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army who fell in battles for the liberation of the Polish capital of Warsaw.» In October 2017, the Polish government adopted a law on 'decommunisation', which is intended to regulate the removal and demolition of monuments deemed to «praise the Communist regime.» Венгры выступили против политики Виктора Орбана 2018-04-15 15:37 В Будапеште десятки тысяч демонстрантов выразили протест в связи с недавними результатами парламентских выборов, назвав их нечестными.
