a blueprint for post-war syria turkey russia and iran discussed the war torn countries future. and a tragic anniversary. that i know you are doing. it is very unfair order everywhere america. today marks fifty years since the assassination of american civil rights icon dr mark martin luther king in memphis tennessee a look at his legacy and the state of race relations in the u.s. today. thanks for your company everyone. the global chemical weapons watchdog has been holding a special meeting to discuss the poison attack on a former russian double agents in britain moscow has demanded it join the investigation into the attack a move that britain has announced as. perverse in

a recent interview with the w. news. british foreign secretary boris johnson said there was no doubt in his mind that russia is to blame you argue that their source of north edge and choke is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly that was driven by says samples of the case when i look at the evidence we the people from from porton down the. they have the samples you do and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy why so i said are you sure and he said as they don't. there you have it the foreign office is no contradiction between those statements we just heard and the latest results from british chemical weapons experts well the lab task whether down to fighting the nerve agent used in the attack and stopped short of saying it could identify where the poison came from this is porton down the lab in britain at the center of the investigation into the

poisoning of this. despite the british government's confidence the head of the lab says they cannot confirm the nerve agents origin it's our job to provide a you know the scientific evidence that identifies support the particular narrow feature is where identify that it was from this family and that is military create an air feature but it's not our job and see where actually was manufactured the russians meanwhile called for a meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague to address the u.k.'s accusations moscow continues to deny involvement and has claimed officials in the west may have staged the poisoning. got this to me even in the script poll case a grotesque provocation crudely concocted by u.s. and british security services some european governments are not following london and washington blindly. but they are instead choosing to carefully make sense of

what happened. it was about solutions germany is not one of those european governments they are standing by britain's version of events or analysis remains the same great britain is explain to us in great detail why russia's responsibility is very probable and why there is no plausible alternative explanation and we agree with great britain's assessment yulia screen is now reported to be recovering from the attack sergei her father is still in critical condition and relations between the west and russia are now at their lowest point since the cold war all right in other news now the leaders of iran turkey and russia have met for a summit on finding a political solution to the syria conflict presidents a rich of tired to watch a host of russian leader vladimir putin and iranian counterpart hasan rowhani for talks in the turkish capital ankara all the three nations have emerged as the power

brokers of syria's seven year long civil war and addition to peace they are looking to bolster their influence in the country all three nations have large but also competing interests in the outcome of the syria conflict. syria early twenty eight hundred. seven years of civil war and still no end in sight there are too many interests involved this war goes beyond the assad regime fighting rebel groups. major foreign doctors are playing their part too. these are the main ones they regularly supply weaponry and personnel to those they believe can help to meet their own geo political ends russian president vladimir putin is one of president assad's closest allies russia has provided military support to assad since twenty fifteen since then the syrian government has managed to recover lost territory with the aid of russian airstrikes putin wants to strengthen russia's military presence

in the region reduce american influence and keep radical islamists out of power the russian air station near latakia is now a permanent fixture on the tarsus marine base russia's only such base in the mediterranean is being enlarged. president hassan rouhani of iran is another supporter after all iran has no intention of losing one of its closest allies in the arab world from day one on a support to damascus with advisors weapons and troops syria in return grants around a much needed route to the hezbollah militia in lebanon. this man on the other hand would like to see us out of power in turkey a supporter of various rebel groups from the start and since january has had its own troops in syria one of president early ones goals is to push back groups to gain influence in parts of syria by supporting u.s.

operations against the so-called islamic state. you know we use a dorian jones is an encore covering the trial lateral summit dorian phyllis and what's come out of this meeting. well the message coming from the three leaders even though they're all opposing sides in the syrian civil war is a corporation who works on that corporation will continue to deepen the claim that success in the creation of these the conflict zones in syria which is where syrian rebels and their families are being slowly moved to they say that this has been successful and it will continue throughout syria they also said that this will provide service ability in the country allowed the return of syrian refugees are not a priority the leaders said is out of this meeting and that will be particularly welcomed by turkey which hosts around three million syrian refugees and there is specially growing unease among the turkish public over that presence beyond that there was a message to the u.s. they say made it clear that they don't believe the u.s.

should be involved in syria they said they don't want foreign powers interfering in syria they play much of a conflict interference that is a thinly veiled reference to the u.s. and overall so a warning to turkey a serious large kurdish minority with this with them saying that they are all the leaders are committed to the syria's territorial integrity there is fear that because the syrian kurdish militia controlling a third of syria they could ultimately secede from the country all leaders have commit themselves to prevent our it well i want to pick up on that point so the three leaders asserting their support for syria sovereignty territorial integrity as you've just been reporting and the right of the syrian people to shape their own future yet these are three major stakeholders with boots on the ground planes in the air vying for influence in syria how do they square that circle. well known confronted them on that at the press conference and all the questions came from carefully selected journals from their countries but yes you're right

there does appear to be a great deal of hypocrisy there but the fact is increasingly describing themselves as a government to moves to syria and that is a common statement coming from all of the leaders they believe because they have invested a large amount of treasure and soldiers on the ground and that they have these direct links to syria they claim that allows them to take this role and at the end of the day they say they believe because they are the main players they are involved in backing the key parties in this only they can bring peace and a solution to syria all right you referenced in your previous answer this role of the u.s. which has been condemned by these three leaders president trump was not part of this summit in ankara he made that surprise announcement yesterday that he wants any u.s. involvement to be diminished in syria has there been any reaction to that surprise announcement. well above the iranian president hassan rouhani the

united states saying that they keep changing their minds over syria and if i was alluding to the point at this moment of wanting to withdraw from syria there were polls of the pentagon are increasing their military presence in syria by king a syrian kodesh militia but ultimately there is growing alliance between these key policies is seen in that america out of syria and not ultimately will be a major headache to washington and possibly brings a looming confrontation between american backed syrian kurdish militia and turkish military forces with the turkish president vowing to remove them all from syria dorian jones reporting from ancora on that trilateral summit thank you. want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. police and sweden are investigating a suspected arson attack at the portuguese embassy in stockholm after a large fire broke out there while the building also houses several other embassies a spokesman said fourteen people received minor injuries police arrested one man in
