a nerve agent attack now u.k. police warned russian exiles about their security. the deputy chief of the f.b.i. hits back at president trump after being fired just days before he was set to retire. a million miles leader gets more than she bargained for at a summit in australia the threat of prosecution. but only twenty four civilians have been killed by syrian government forces in eastern guta on saturday bringing the death toll over the past two days to almost one hundred thousands of civilians are fleeing besieged cities at opposite ends of syria as two major battles intensify in eastern go to near the capital damascus thousands of people have left areas held by rebels since early morning meanwhile in the north city of afraid and thousands are evacuating territory held by kurdish y p

g fighters as turkish forces and their syrian allies try to fight their way into the city or been reports of war arundhati bombardments in both of those areas dozens of people being killed in the latest strikes on the town of in eastern guta under simmons as the latest from near the turkish syrian border. that almost can't be verified this isn't a united nations operation the russians and the syrian regime are organizing these two colored olds one to the north of peace and goodwill one to the south it's the last a wall in the southern wall and it's being used right now and thousands of people in a very sullen state are moving away and trying at hoping that they're going to get safety no absolute certainty of where they're going the syrian regime says that they will be processed in evacuation centers they'll be medical help they'll be food they'll be water but uncertainty with all of that as far as the security

position nice and good to goes no ceasefire to allow all this to happen and there have been further attacks particularly in some which was under attack on friday there were claims that russian warplanes were engaged in dropping munitions that included in century bomb that was for me to buy denied by russia but the situation is quite critical with the s.o.h. all the syrian observatory for human rights claiming that at least thirty civilians died as they were preparing to flee eastern. and now in a free closer to the turkish syrian border the position there is escalating more civilians fleeing that city they wipe e.g. the kurdish fighters are trying to defend it but the turkish forces now in circling right the way around the city and the syrian free syrian army which is backed by the turkish taking over

a prison now and moving forward furthermore there is a categorical denial by the turkish that they targeted a hospital in a free and on friday they say that they've shown these pictures showing that the hospital is intact however the sort observatory for human rights is showing video of a damaged building which it says is the hospital so dispute that one of many about exactly what is going on. britain's prime minister to resign may says the u.k. is considering its next steps after moscow now says it would expel twenty three british diplomats and close the british council in russia britain has accused the kremlin of orchestrating a nerve agent attack on a former russian spy and his daughter in salzburg twenty three russian diplomats already been expelled by britain china how reports from moscow. after

days of waiting it took barely ten minutes for british ambassador laurie bristow to be handed russia's written response we gave russia the opportunity to explain help the material souls but we asked russia to declare that material that the capability to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons russia did neither therefore we announced certain steps russia today has informed me off the steps that russia will be taking in response to that. the decision to remove twenty three british diplomats from russia mirrored u.k. prime minister to resign may's own statement on wednesday expelling twenty three russian diplomats from london the countermeasures didn't stop with the expulsion of british diplomats from the embassy here they were as well what the russians would call a symmetrical measures to match the reason mase promise of looking more closely at the sources of russian money in the u.k. so britain's diplomatic presence in russia will be further reduced by the closure

of its consulate in simply does burke russia second city and the operations of the government funded british council will cease a charity that promotes british culture abroad the russian government has long suspected it of being a cover for british intelligence it is though in diplomatic speak might be described as a measured response what's is there russia does not want. fresh wanted to ask then the rest by britain. expulsions could be the even more severe way with the americans they could exploit more they could cripple actually the british mission and moscow. russia is sending a message of its. rhetoric continues but no more serious action. to lisa may chose to double. russia's response doesn't change the facts of the matter the attempted assassination of two people on british soil for which there is

no alternative conclusion other than that the russian state was culpable the british government may be emboldened by a show of support from allies like france and germany along with new sanctions aimed at russia by the united states russia meanwhile may be looking for ways to calm things down jonah hill al-jazeera moscow. has got the nations to russian reaction after lawrence lee who's in moscow said more strong words from the u.k. prime minister how is this whole route viewed there. well i think i think there are some grounds for thinking that scene sems of the actual actual actions the russians would quite like this now to be over as jonah was suggesting in that reports having said that some of the words that are coming out of moscow today on the eve of the election here are just as extraordinary is the as the claims and accusations coming out of london and in just the same way

that boris johnson the british foreign secretary said that in his opinion and himself it authorized this which clearly he can't prove in much the same way the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry has been to the t.v. here today to say that for a start russia has no nerve gas of a nerve agent of the sort that was used but of western countries like britain and sweden the power to do she said and then went on to say that in their opinion the british should poisons the script roles because they wanted to undermine russian successes in syria which seems like quite a call it's but that's what she suggested and so this gigantic mudslinging verbal operation still still still carries on and a do think that actually the most important thing is going to happen next is when the inspectors as from forms in social body turn up in salt the next week take some samples take them away and try over the course of trying to figure out if it actually lends any sorts of clarity to what the agent was and who might reasonably have actually done it's because they are in social body and therefore neutral and

they're the people thing who have any chance of getting through all this now in orange county if you as you mentioned elections coming up many a few hours until the polls open what if any effect on voters. well i think that you know the thing that you can say is that clearly the idea of the putin administration here has has pedals for osha slee for years that russia is under siege the west the wraps it gets us putin is the only guy who can defend russia against this onslaught clearly when you have people like the woman from the russian foreign ministry saying we don't have this notation they all have it they're trying to undermine us that sort of plain directly backs up the sorts of political theses that underpin the entire putin presidency for the time being and so in that sense it's a given that is all over russian t.v. tonight on the eve of the election it can only help him in he's

the endless rhetoric to come out of about you know returning russia's glory in defending russia or against all these countries who are out to get us. very much indeed you know on u.k. police have contacted several russian exiles due to concerns over their safety following the killing of a prominent businessman he could i do scoff was found dead in his home in southwest london on monday made back a has more from outside his cuffs home. the murder investigation into the death of nicholai glitched coffee is well underway he was body was found here at his home in south west london on monday with what police described as compression wounds to his neck he was due to appear in court earlier on monday to answer longstanding allegations of fraud that had been brought against him by his former employer russia's national airline araf lot where he'd previously worked as the company's chief financial officer he'd been given political asylum here in the u.k.

in two thousand and ten after previously serving a five year prison sentence in russia for financial irregularities police are also undoubtedly going to be looking at his links to the russian oligarch boris berezovsky who was a staunch critic of the kremlin and of lad he may have putin he was found dead in mysterious circumstances in two thousand and thirteen and bush coffee his friend and business partner always believed that bearers of ski had been murdered police and the british national domestic intelligence service m i five are now said to be looking at previous cases of other russian exiles here in the u.k. that have died in mysterious circumstances they're said to be reexamining a number of cases including that of the death of boris berezovsky police here they are not linking the death here to the poisoning of assegais and

yulia script and song speech just under two weeks ago on that case the british prime minister believes that it was in her eyes and equivocally the russian state that was behind the poisoning whereas shortly after the poisoning she'd insinuated that possibly a nerve agent manufactured by the state could have got out of the hands of the russian government but now she's focusing her attention directly on the russian government blaming them for that poisoning the investigation. in souls pretty continuous. so to come on the program. she's been paying is confirmed as china's leader for life and there's a major promotion for a close ally of the president. and will the search the african leaders sign a petition aimed at saving the elephant but is it enough.

him out of the nearly three thousand carefully selected delegates known as a firefighter taking on tough tasks one front at the president's anti-corruption crackdown it punished more than one and a half million officials the election of won't east on was no surprise he's a close ally of season playing and term limits have been lifted on the vice president's role but what will be different is that his power and influence will elevate the position that's traditionally been ceremonial get things done so see his loyalty and how he can follow his order to discipline chinese officials and he has been very successful in that and i'm looking forward to seeing you would want to make sure that his power i would be stabilized to for next decade or beyond that even before the curtains close on this year's national people's congress on tuesday wang will have his work cut out one of

before he planned to retire on march eighteenth mccabe too was dismissed in a statement released late on friday night the attorney general jeff sessions said that according to an internal agency investigation quote mr mccabe had made in an authorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor including under oath a multiple occasions i have terminated the employment of andrew mccabe effective immediately. right after this mccabe told the news media his firing was payback for doing his job investigating ties between russia and donald trump's two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign as well as overseeing the probe into hillary clinton's abuse of a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state now president trump has accused mccabe of partisan bias mccabe's wife a democrat received campaign donations from one of hillary clinton's allies then

mccabe added this quote the attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not to just slander me personally but to taint the f.b.i. law enforcement and intelligence professionals generally it is part of this administration's ongoing war on the f.b.i. and the efforts of the special counsel analysts say robert muller who is the special counsel will want to talk to mckay but now aides now will be testifying in front of mahler and he knows a lot now what happened. during the campaign and during the investigation mr mckay going to talk about the fact when president drama fired erector call me that was i didn't see him you were going to call me when i'm actually going ahead with the investigation and not could be considered obstruction of justice being fired means andrew mccabe might lose his retirement and health

care benefits but mccabe might also have much more to gain by telling robert muller everything he knows about any russian links to the trump presidential campaign and that could mean the trumpet ministration might now have a much bigger problem on its hands rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. one of the world's fastest growing cities could be about to run out of water bangalore is a hub of technology but urban growth neglect and unpredictable rainfall have caused it to dry out catch all of us would be on reports. bangalore is the epi center of india's high tech industry it's even nicknamed silicon valley despite all its advances in cutting edge technology it's facing a major problem water or rather the lack of it in that if you tell a big bang a little bit of what this is this is the main point of this and then if anything this that is going to make it collapse it will be because of the war that it's the
