new multinational colonialism this is a v i'm not and over the democratic process this company they just want the money europe's forbidden colony episode one at this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera where ever you. zero. hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up. the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for

the op to get into the script. the british prime minister clearly points the finger of blame for the spy poisoning attack in the u.k. . the syrian army's hold on eastern grows as a rebel group reaches a deal with russia to evacuate civilians. at least fifty killed after a bangladeshi ally in a crashes at nepal's katmandu. i'm reporting on the multiple threats to wildlife here from climate change to tears. i'm joined by. a greek football boss takes a gun to a title fight and it ends with the top player suspended. the british prime minister to resign may says it's highly likely that russia was

behind the attempted murder of a former spy and his daughter this month sergei and euna script still critically ill in hospital after they will poison with a nerve agent that the prime minister says was developed in soviet times on a b. phillips has the story. the british police and military are still combing all over the town of salt but they and the government now believe they have some monsters that surrogates create paul and his daughter yulia were poisoned with a nerve agent developed by russia and that leads the prime minister to one of two conclusions either this was a direct shot by the russian state against our country or the russian government lost control of its potentially catastrophic lee damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others she presented the russians with an ultimatum we must now stand ready to take much more extensive measures. mr speaker on wednesday

we will consider in detail the response from the russian state should there be no credible response we will conclude that this action amounts to an unlawful use of force by the russian state against the united kingdom. but from russia so far blanket denial vladimir putin's spokesman says surrogates group all work for british intelligence the incident happened in britain so it has nothing to do with russia it seems that anglo russian relations are bound to get significantly worse now and the british will be hoping for international support from european and nato allies as they seek to put pressure on moscow but what measures can britain take that will really be felt in the kremlin diplomatic expulsions sanctions against powerful individuals both seem likely but their impact may be limited and action economy is under sanctions it has adapted to a hostile climate of international relations british national commercial ties are

not very good so. things of sympathetic nature do not hurt russia anymore because they expect for the investigators on the ground not usual not expected test of their expertise for britain itself a crisis that will test its continuing stature in the world barnaby phillips al-jazeera london so what exactly are novacek agents will novacek translated as new boy is a family of nerve agents developed in the old soviet union as a cold war weapon in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's they were manufactured and tested in a top secret facility in what's modern day is back is done was closed in one thousand nine hundred three their exact details remain top secret but it's widely believed novacek agents are dispersed in a powder form rather than gas or vapor like most nerve agents and he usually inhaled by victims. their effects are rapid often within

a minute and they're specifically designed to be resistant to conventional antidote and treatment victims often involuntary muscle contractions that can lead to symptoms including cardiac arrest and respect tree fadia joining me now in the studio is samuel green the director of the kings russia institute at king's college london thank you very much for coming to speak to us so we were hearing promises to reason may say that either it was a direct attack by the russian government or this nerve agent fell into the wrong hands of those the only two possibilities here well it would seem to be a minute simming that is that the agent is what she says it is and that the only stockpiles would have been in russia and there is some investigation i suppose to be done around the right than either way either the government decided to allow somebody to use it right or failed to keep control over its stockpiles if this is indeed a military grade weapon that we're talking about it is the responsibility they were government one way or another to keep control over that case and by asserting that

russia was highly was probably behind this poisoning she has now put herself on to even greater pressure to act how much room to she have to maneuver in terms of the measures that the government now takes it will russia right now what we have to do is wait and see how to respond towards a russia could. point to somebody who may have been acting without the government's approval and and allow the investigation to move in that direction or it could dig in its heels the way it did over things like image seven eight other cases that we've had reaction to that i've been today statement to say well yes i may have been i mean we've heard i could show that this could be a false flag operation the british government itself could have been behind it we'll have to wait and see what happens the likelihood i think is that they will probably deny any knowledge or involvement having turkey sort of term this in her statement today as. unlawful use of force by a foreign power right that does raise. the stakes right she's going to have to come

up with some kind of a response that rises to the level of that that rhetoric that's tantamount to a declaration of hostilities and so then what further measures can she take given what we already saw in the aftermath of the lip and yank poisoning well in fact there's been more since then since it is a result of the conflict in ukraine in terms of sanctions right so on that respect there are some additional economic sanctions and pressure that can be put. on russia particularly having to do with. national debt and that sort of thing but. really any any significant leverage is going to have to come through. britain's alliances through its relationships particularly in nato if britain is going to want to send a message it's going to have to be. one of solidarity right in which it's made clear to moscow that it cannot. take these kinds of steps

versus one country in the european or the north atlantic community and still maintain a working relationship with the rest a bit so there is no effective international response has to be done in cooperation with european and american and there are unilateral responses that are available to london they are not likely to be sufficient to change russia's cost benefit calculation. but with that in mind when you look at the general climate we see a very much in russia that is very much emboldened on the international stage is anyone really going to be in the mood to take action against russia well i think we're going to have to wait and see you can color back to something like image seventeen right where very much relieved haven't lost a large number of their citizens in disaster or they got their evidence or a ducks in a row and they did a lot of diplomatic work to get support behind a very powerful sanctions regime or it's going to take an effort of that caliber

well thank you very much samuel green from king's college london thanks for your interest this moving to our other top story this hour rebel groups operating in syria's eastern ghouta enclave says it's allowing wounded people to be evacuated jaisha islam says it struck a u.n. brokered deal with the syrian government's ally russia so largest of three groups in the area are almost four hundred thousand civilians have been besieged since two thousand and thirteen will than a thousand people have died since a government offensive started three weeks ago and as the war approaches its eighth year a new report by unicef suggests children are more risk than ever before it found a fifty percent rise in the number of children killed in the conflict last year and said two thousand and eighteen was off to an even worse start over all children make up a fifth of all civilian victims and an estimated three million children have been exposed to explosive hazards. well the u.s. has called an urgent meeting in jordan off to syrian jets struck rebel held town is

. prime minister as he promises compensation to victims of last week's violence against muslims. amnesty international says myanmar's military is behind a land grab constructing buildings on top of raping of villages. and then could this be the start of tiger's return to the top. of the action from his best performance in a week. in nepal investigators are trying to find out why a bangladeshi ally in a crashed killing at least fifty people the u.s. by a airlines flight from dhaka missed the runway katmandu airport and burst into flames in a nearby field subpoena shrestha reports seventy one passengers and crew were on the flight from talk to. witnesses report seeing the turbo prop flying extremely lou

oborne to its landing and then turning to land again from the other end of the runway after narrowly missing other aircraft on the ground it crashed on a stoop at the side of the runway and burst into flames. fire engines ambulances and security personnel rushed to the wreckage inside the airport paramita. some passengers managed to break a window and scrambled out almost on skates others were pulled free and taken to hospital many of the dead were charred beyond recognition nepal's prime minister visited the scene. this is a terrible accident from what i understand from airport officials the plane was in difficult position but the pilot did not ask for emergency landing and tries to land read into this fatality we offer our condolences to the government and the people. the airlines chief executive in bangladesh is blaming air traffic

controllers and elite recording of the conversation between the flight deck an air traffic control other pilots listening were concerned that the flight might crash. an investigation committee has been set up to find the cause behind me is that wreckage off the plane where the last of the bodies are being recovered and police and army personnel are taking out personal belongings off the passengers and putting it it's a side as you can see the plane has been burned beyond recognition except for the tail and if you look at the area that's been saying the grass that has been singed on the ground it looks that there was a massive explosion. and it has a poor air safety record with more than seventy crashes since one thousand nine hundred forty nine but most fatalities have involved planes flying into the himalayas or trying to land at mountain airports the bombard dash eight involved in this latest disaster is built in canada and executives are expected to fly in to

join the crash investigation. al-jazeera government do. amnesty international has already satellite images it says shows man was military building infrastructure on top of areas wants him to ring the muslims the organization is describing the construction as a land grab meanwhile the un has accused manaus government of using a policy of force starvation against rangle villages and back on state entail reports life continues to be a misery at this ridge a refugee camp in eastern bangladesh many of those who live here say they just want to go back to their homes in myanmar's rakhine state but if you are certain if they ever will what's also unclear is whether they will ever see justice for the abuses they faced abuses the u.n. describes as bearing the hallmarks of genocide there appears to be a policy of forced starvation and place designed to make life in northern

a kind unsustainable for a hunter who remain amnesty international is also questioning whether the more than seven hundred thousand rick injured displaced in months of violence will ever be able to return to their homes these satellite images appear to show areas where rohingya houses mosques and businesses once stood and where since the sort of the year there has been a rapid increase in the construction of myanmar military infrastructure including three new army bases construction the rights group is describing as a land grab. around three hundred fifty range of villages have been destroyed since unrest in rakhine state began last august eyewitnesses say the myanmar military directed the burning of the villages and accusation the government denies despite an agreement with neighboring bangladesh to repatriate the hundreds of thousands of who fled over the border to safety it's looking increasingly unlikely many will be able to return to where their homes once stood as well as the new military

infrastructure rapid road construction and other building has been seen in the area and in one case for him to villagers who had remained in myanmar were forcibly evicted to make way for an army base we're witnessing a genocide in real time the mistreatment of the rich. military and me and mas authorities surely meets the criteria to be considered a genocide then we actually need to see sanctions back on the table this should be visa bans for the pipa trite as of these atrocities and that should include not just the military but it should should should include the civilian authorities of me and the me and mark government doesn't deny bulldozing the remains of villages in recent months but says it did so to make way for the new homes for returning refugees u.n. investigators say it's been difficult to ascertain what's happening in rakhine state because it has largely been sealed off from them rights groups and the media in al-jazeera. joining me now is justin when clerestory an in southeast asian

a fast thanks very much for coming and teach us and so what does the construction work that we're seeing on reading the land with about the nature of the crackdown on the right well i think it is it points of photo along that this thing has been choreographed by the burmese military me and my military if you go back to the end of august when some. rebels would he want to call them launch pretty small scale attacks on police stations the response from the. men ma military was massive totally out of proportion but more than that it turns out that they had been a buildup of troops within wreckin state which is where all those things. from the beginning of war was now we're faced with what's called off to all these working and they'd be mass exodus as before but this is on the scale of the two and now it turns out that they are building on the land which has been deserted hooting those

have been driven out from and again it looks as if it's part of a premeditated picture can unsung suchi continue to remain silent as she has done in the face of this mounting evidence of ethnic cleansing and genocide against the ring well. is very difficult to know what's going through her head because she's for she stopped doing interviews she used to be. she used to pursue the media in the the needed to to be my feeling is because the street noise of the moment in myanmar is about the twenty twenty election and whether she's going to stand again and if she doesn't then what happens to a party she's not bought on a younger leadership she's obviously in cahoots with the military with the minute you have told a tow the line or we suspend parliament and put you back on the house or a side and the only thing i think she could do to redeem herself. i think she's got blood as i never thought i'd say that about her is to go into voluntary excel set

up in the office and resume. a tussle with the military meantime want happens because we have there was a briefing the u.n. saying that this baz the whole mocks of genocide. we you have nearly seven hundred thousand who fled they are in desperate need of well some some sort of long term humanitarian assistance what happens now what does the international community i think david de rigueur refugees on a turtle limbo and i think they need to be comprehensively resettled outside because they're never going to be one but that would cost billions and billions. of people not these stiffing who would hope the underlying situation though is that increasingly it doesn't matter what the west thinks of will be end of myanmar has come under the aegis of china it's within the chinese or the chinese are not going

to bend over backwards to punish a government that treats muslims unfairly because china has its most important missions which it treats on. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this story with us just in winter the southeast asia story and thank you. well now to sri lanka where the weeklong state of emergency has not been lifted as expected it was imposed after muslim and homes and businesses were set on fire by sinhalese but it's nationalist gangs governments accused of failing to act fast enough to protect life and property on its misreports from colombia. because embattled prime minister is on a damage limitation exercise ronnell wickramasinghe visited candy to promise swift compensation for the loss of life and property in riots last week if he wanted to ask for his response to the communal violence we have learned that in the hallway of the country as a boy people do not want to violence they may have different views about they think

if you were there was really. this deep but like any other country though they would be discussed in the media at least that's a great word at least and thereby. really emerged. here in. the last elections local ones last month delivered a major blow to the prime minister and president that coalition parties won control of just fifty two councils out of three hundred forty. three years ago may three powers syria say no was elected president and wickramasinghe or became prime minister after both men joined forces to defeat then president mahinda rajapaksa the muslim and tamil minority groups that helped them win and now dissolution promises to bring the previous regime to account for corruption and yet to be honored and both leaders have been jockeying for influence that risks creating a power vacuum when the norm that the government is real and the one cannot bear decisive action and you know they also are not in the police will not act on the

rest of the government that's one of the most troubling developments field during candidates numbers the police did not act immediately and partly because they were not sure. because the government has been sending. contradictory signals. the opposition senses an opportunity and a way back in the former president rajapaksa really lost. i think the country. didn't expect this type of situation to live with. his. so the collapse of the government has to seek for a more stable alternative to the government's imposition of a nationwide state of emergency to deal with an issue in just one part of the country following its initial slow response to the outbreak of violence and candy has been seized on by critics as an indication of weakness of the very top there

are no presidential elections almost two years on the opposition doesn't have the numbers to win a vote of no confidence leaving this administration to try to deliver on its campaign. with al-jazeera. egypt has extended the detention of al jazeera journalists which is signed by another forty five days egyptian national was arrested while on vacation in december two thousand and sixteen the same was accused of incitement against state institutions and broadcasting false news with the aim of spreading chaos he has lawyers and al-jazeera strongly deny the allegations. and with the news out still ahead students any u.s. plan a school walkout to demand tighter gun controls. we take a look at the ministry my own display at this year's international maritime defense exhibition and the end all be champions get away while at the white house one of the star players was missing charley explained and spoke.

welcome back let's update you on the top stories this hour british prime minister treason may as told parliament that it was highly likely that last go was responsible for the poisoning of a russian double agent dozens of people have been killed after a plane carrying seventy two passengers crashed at katmandu airports in. and a rebel group operating in syria's eastern goods and clive says it's allowing wounded people to be evacuated after striking a deal with russia. the been protests at the funerals of three suspected rebel fighters in indian administered kashmir the unrest has forced police to end. a curfew on some parts of the main city srinagar and schools and businesses have been closed priyanka gupta reports. mourners packed the streets of chicago the it's a familiar scene in indian and instead kashmir. people caught between a government crackdown and an armed rebellion which has lasted for nearly thirty

years india accuses pakistan of provoking the uprising government leaders in islamabad deny storing undressed against the interview. this time some are moving the killing of three suspected rebel fighters in a gun battle with indian troops police say they retaliated after coming under fire during a raid on a village in an impound district two of the three men killed have been identified as engineering students who police say became rebel fighters the other hasn't been identified. and we protested poured into the streets on news of their deaths street battles were fought with stones. and tear gas. the government ordered schools and colleges to shot to prevent more violence very divided by that argument island that india is committing atrocities on the us india is violating the chastity of our system which we condemn in strong words what we would welcome

here is so precious there they're both sitting at their brain in a struggle of we don't want anything from anyone who does hollywood florida last week police killed four people and two suspected fighters at a military checkpoint soldiers were accused of indiscriminate shooting indian troops are protected from prosecution by a controversial law in india and mystic kashmir human rights activists are routinely accused them of misusing that power priyanka gupta zero. the colombian president says his government will restart peace talks with the guerrilla group l. and after a six week pause president one manual santos suspended talks in late january after bomb attacks by e.l. and killed eight police officers ellen says it will agree to continue the peace talks but that there was a little more than little the alternative is to continue killing ourselves to continue confronting one another for many more years or decades to come our firmly

believe the country has no need to resign yourself to this for that reason thinking of life in so you can lives in a tree bring peace for colombia decided to resume peace talks with the e l n so has cost us and around p a t who is in bogota is this a surprise decision by santos. well mariam it definitely came as a surprise especially since it was announced just one day after the legislative elections here in colombia where right wing parties opposing the peace talks with the land and the peace deal with the fire have one essentially but the government was expecting a sign from the land their willingness to continue to search for peace and this came in the form of a we can ceasefire during the elections the l.n. in the didn't commit any crime didn't do any attack during the election so sent

those considered that a signal that the government was looking for to try and restart these talks this is probably an and popular decision here in colombia but it does show centers perseverance in trying to end all civil conflicts in the country before its presidency and in august it's also a way to keep peace on the raid or keep it at the center of the presidential campaign and sort of pushing the candidates to take sides on this issue now of course although it's a very good news that the government is willing to restart these negotiations if you ask practically any analysts here in columbia they'll tell you that these talks are very difficult because the land is less centralized than what the fire was and because there are some two years of very serious divisions among its leadership. and also as under a we saw

a right wing parties who opposed the peace deal with the rebel group making strong gains in the recent elections what happens now. well what happens now is the beginning in earnest of the presidential campaign we now know who all the candidates for president are we have a possibly a clear front runner event the democratic center party this is the party of former president alvaro who do you bear who has been the biggest opposer to the peace deal in the country he won the biggest number of votes as a senator in standees elections so you still probably the most powerful political figure in the in the country his party is the first party in the senate and also we know that there is a strong leftist candidate the former mayor of bogota who stumble pedro he's very

popular he's also controversial he's being accused of being too close to business well to the venezuelan government for example the cues in him of being a communist a socialist there's a lot of polarization in the country but there are also a number of the more moderate more centrist the candidates that will now start their campaign with the backing of the parties who won most of the seats in sunday's election actions on may twenty seventh thank you very much ana sandra here she was all the latest from bogota. the white house has announced it's setting up a commission to deal with gun violence in the united states the commission will push to arm teaches in u.s. classrooms for sure when it comes to raising the age limit for buying a rifle and white house correspondent kimberly healthcare reports. after weeks of student protests across the country calling for restrictions on gun ownership the

court cases and rulings before acting states are making this decision. and just a day before the school safety panel was announced the president appeared to mock the idea of commissions suggesting they look good but are a waste of time we care just keep setting up blue ribbon committees with your wife and your wife and your husband. and they me and they have a meal and they talk or. still the white house is indorsing bipartisan legislation to improve background checks for gun sales it's also calling on individual states to pass legislation giving law enforcement the ability to take guns away from those deemed mentally unstable. the truck administration has also announced it's taken the first step in the regulatory process to ban bomb stocks devices that increase
