berlin's charity hospital let's bring in alexandra so janowicz gone from who joins joins us from moscow alexandra russian doctors had said now bonnie wasn't poisoned but now german. doctors said he was and the german government spokesman saying that he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group how is this going to go down in russia. well yes exactly as you said that the russian doctors said they tested and tested and they didn't find any poisons or toxins in his blood or urine samples and that's the russian authorities were saying that there is no basis for opening a criminal investigation and now we see that germany identity not only finds poison but actually identifies it as a group of poison from a not a jock group which is a nerve agent which exactly is inhibiting the synthesis of cotton as to rise which

was actually the diagnosis of a german doctor is now we have the 1st reaction it's coming from the press secretary of russian president vladimir putin said that russia is not yet informed about this finding and this nerve agent not a chalky is not something we didn't hear before in 2018. in his daughter he was a double agent were poisoned with the. nerve agent in solsbury and this was then also identified by the russian claim that the 1st of all they have nothing to do read that and 2nd of all they wanted to see more evidence of that there's the 2 days they saying that they're ready to cooperate but they are not given access to those samples so they are not convinced that there is an evidence of the boys in in that specific case as for another finally there is still reactions to come on this findings of the germany about boys in england and deliberate poisoning to presume

of alexander about me aleksandra the german government had until now not directly pointed the finger at russia but the german government spokesman is now demanding urgent clarification from moscow how is this going to be received by the kremlin. well it's we can presume that it's not going to be received well by could anyone because if we refer to previous cases and also to statements in this case referring . in previous days the russia was claiming that they found no evidence of boys and that's not even opening a criminal investigation but keeping this investigative methods in a investigation phase trying to determine whether there was a crime committed at all so now this findings we can assume it might be received as an attempt to accuse russia of something as

a tool yet again. picture russia as a bad guy but as you pointed out germany did not point to this point a finger to russia but here opposition is almost completely assured that the oath or it does have something to do with the states of iowa with him failing falling into a coma so we can assume that they will be a louder than before in their accusations and in their pointing finger style words 3 or 4 it is saying that no violence or threats look at emley in which is something that can in itself denies and so do this is what we can expect coming in german doctors saying that these condition is serious but not life threatening and germany also saying that it will inform the e.u. and nato of test results will continue to follow the story with you of course alexandra so janowicz conference live there in moscow. now the news russia's

foreign minister has ruled out negotiations with bella who says opposition council . has accused them of illegal behavior and working with the ukrainian extremists lavrov has been meeting with his counterpart from the government of the russian president alexander lukashenko. we regard current events as in 2 nobel the roots issues that's why we don't initiate any discussions on the international platforms but certain members of the related organizations including . in the un are trying by all means to internalize events which happened in bill roos trying via this internalisation to justify their intrusive attempts to hustle mediation services julian you richard ross unfortunately once again in the countries of the former u.s.s.r. be elections were used by the external and internal forces as an attempt to destabilize the socio political economic situation some things we were ready for others became an unpleasant surprise for us it's my 5th election and it's the 1st

china formally opposes china's strategies a consistent and transparent as constitution is peaceful and its military policy is defensive the pentagon says china's navy. he has already surpassed the u.s. with 350 compared to america's 293 and it's made major strides in developing ballistic and cruise missiles as well as its a defense systems the report says china intends to double its stockpile of nuclear weapons over the next 10 years analysts say if true china would still lag far behind the u.s. it's still 110th of what america. has said something like 6000. and of course the united states much more. expensive and its military bases got something like 800 military bases in over 20 or 30 countries around the world others say china is becoming more

al-jazeera aging. amnesty international is detailing what he calls a torture epidemic by police and security forces in iran. $7000.00 iranians were detained during nationwide anti-government protests last november they're said to have included 10 year old children the human rights group says detainees faced mox execution sexual abuse and were drunk then beaten $500.00 protesters were subjected to unfair criminal proceedings but he's also accuse of food teenie torturing suspects to get forced confessions that the iranian government has yet to respond to the allegations monod marandi from the university of tehran says the report is biased we're talking about amnesty international that funds from so-called independent bodies in the united states we're talking about amnesty international that's supported by western governments and in particular the united states as i

said very clearly iran has different political parties during those riots a 1000 banks were destroyed within 2 days western media persian language media outlets were egging on the riots if iran was such a dystopia that amnesty international likes to picture it as a long sigh pompei oh then why is it that when the senior iranian commander of general salim money was murdered by the americans why was there such enormous crowds in tehran where your reporters reported it and so did other reporters and again where is amnesty international right now hundreds of iranians are dying as we speak because of chemical weapons as we speak they've been dying a slow death for the last 4 decades where are they in europe and the united states in front of the u.s. congress or white house calling for compensation. the khmer rouge executioner who killed thousands of cambodians in the 1970 s.

has died 77 year old comrade saving a life sentence for atrocities committed in the notorious mass measured when he reports. it was here in the capital of cambodia that comrade committed crimes against humanity total slaying prison in phnom penh was where more than $14000.00 cambodians was sent to be tortured and murdered under the orders of the camaro rouge his top executioner even though doing during his trial in 2009 that he was following orders he admitted what happened in the prison known by its code name is 21 claiming something that i would like to acknowledge my legal responsibility for all the crimes that happened in this 21 especially the torture and execution of people that the committee rouge wanted to reveal cambodia in the late 1970 s. and executed anyone who might pose a threat to those ambitions as many as 2000000 were killed including teaches and academics and anyone deemed the worst enemies of the regime was sent to be executed

by doing he was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity since then only 2 other c'mere rouge commanders have been convicted and they may well be the last leader pol pot was never brought to trial and died in 1908 from the start the justice process has been hampered by funding problems and interference from the government led by prime minister hun sen he's a former member of the command and has repeatedly called for the trials to end a judge who presided at the dog trial says she was always concerned that the government would only let the process go so far. those would be very difficult for any other. guys. last

month a case of another lead it was 2 minutes by the judges after disputes about the jurisdiction of the courts there are 2 more cases pending but no hearings a shade jeweled meaning deutsche dis may be one of the final chapters in the commit crimes with only 3 people convicted for the genocidal campaign that killed hundreds of thousands many cambodians may feel that true justice was never served when hey al jazeera bangkok now earlier i spoke to kerry saying a human rights activist and lawyer who all spoke to her parents and other family members to the khmer rouge regime she said justice has not been served for many cambodians there is no closure to the mass crimes committed by the my route. today or yesterday is just another reminder of just deny he was given a sentence that is way too high. but now i believe that you meeting ultimate

is the ultimate justice so in that regard. there is some closure but you must remember that that was a small fry he was not one of the senior leaders of the i was he was the one he was a direct one of the 100 prisoners in. my room and i was in a prison where $30000.00 were killed including my mother and so the death of the it is a milestone it's a reminder of our past which is still very much with us but. but it's. it's a plan that will continue to be with us so it's a reminder and a milestone that. that what component don't take note of the office more interesting i think to the international community than many components it don't even know that he passed away right. himself said that he wasn't one of the

main. perpetrators and at the time of his trial he had expressed regrets for his crimes in 2009 he told the court i am soley and individually responsible for the loss of at least 12000 lives and even though days later he asks to be acquitted do you think he really did feel regret and would you forgive him if it asks for forgiveness it's not my place to because i didn't suffer directly and to do it. i i and it's not my place to judge his sincerity there's an ultimate judge there he's facing face to face right now facebook executives are being grilled by a parliamentary panel in india over accusations gave favorable treatment to members of the ruling b j p party a wall street journal reported alleges facebook deliberately ignored its own hate speech falls after they were broken by e b j p politician
