2:03 pm
well according to that source it was c.c.t.v. footage in the u.k. not only here in london. there are security cameras really everywhere and it's this footage of the security cameras then checked with border traffic so people who travel in and out of the country this is according to the source was led to the identification of the several suspects but we have to take it with a pinch of salt not the government or the police have said anything official. so there is another couple were recently poisoned in the nearby town do police believe that there could be a link between these two cases. well that's always been the working assumption of the investigators and the home secretary. that that was the main line of inquiry and the assumption was that this couple has found left over
2:04 pm
a syringe maybe or some sort of capsule that they have been in contact with but that it was an accident and that it was the original attack on the screen palls that is what the investigators really really want to get to the bottom off and i could have we had. any reaction from russia this point. where the russian ambassador here in london has always been really really vocal you have to know that this of course is a very contentious subject and has really soured the relations between russia and the u.k. and he has that that he the russian ambassador here in london has said is being created by a russian news agency that he is waiting for something official from scotland yard from the foreign office before he then makes an official statement but we know that russia has always denied any involvement in any of these attacks so this is something that will be the u.k. government and the russian government will have to do with also in the future even
2:05 pm
if this case is resolved from the point of the british investigators the question is whether the russians will accept this work it must joining us from london thank you. that never took poisoning case so the cases have had international repercussions because the british government has accused russia of being behind them here's a look at how that story has developed. an entire community on lockdown on june thirtieth a couple were found collapsed in the british town of amesbury showing symptoms of nerve agent poisoning. dawn sturgess and her partner charlie rose we were rushed to the hospital. sturgess died a week later both had been exposed to nabil choc a potent group of military agents developed by the soviet military in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's for months earlier former russian double agents i guess cripple and his daughter yulia were found unconscious on

a bench in the nearby city of salisbury. britain believes russia was behind the attack but russia has consistently denied responsibility president putin b.b.c. news is russia behind the poisoning of said they screwed up and listen to me is the most listened and we are dealing with agriculture here and as you can see our aim is to create a living conditions for people and you're talking about some tragedies but i get to the bottom of things there first and then we'll discuss this. sickest was jailed in russia in two thousand and six for betraying russian spies to britain's intelligence agency m i six but four years later he was pardoned and freed and arrived in britain as part of a spy swap. the british government is convinced the kremlin was after him. russia's record of conducting state sponsored assassinations and our assessment that russia three views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations the
2:07 pm
government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against and use the script how many of britain's allies have sided with this view leaving relations between the west and russia at their lowest since the cold war. thailand's rescued cave boys are finally back home after the hospital stay that followed eighteen day ordeal after t.v. appearance yesterday of the boys began that first day out of the hospital with a trip to a buddhist temple. to the tune of chanting monks the boys press their hands together in prayer grateful to be safe. i am very happy to be home i was finally able to sleep well last night. eleven of the boys in their football coach marked their homecoming with a buddhist ceremony meant to protect them from danger but the wild bulls football

team have already beat all the odds with their dramatic rescue that riveted the world. on wednesday in their first public appearance since they emerged to safety the boys showed little signs of their ordeal wearing their football uniforms in a show of health and good spirits. but these boys spent more than two weeks trapped underground for the first nine days they had just a flashlight and nothing to wait until rescue divers finally found them. good it happened in the evening while we were sitting on the rocks we heard some noise of people talking so we told each other to be quiet and listen to the noise we weren't sure if it was for real so we stopped and listened and it turned out to be true i was shocked. it's a miracle i didn't know what to answer it took me some time to answer when he came
2:09 pm
out of the water he asked me how are you i replied i'm ok. ignoring warning signs about dangerous monsoon floods the team and their coach ventured into the caves in chiang rai province after football practice for what was expected to be an hour long visit when water levels rose the boys and their coach were trapped . once located and anxious wait followed until the water was low enough and the boys strong enough to come out the divers carried out the rescue mission over three days racing against falling oxygen levels and rising floodwaters. although the operation in the end was successful the mission was met with tragedy when a former navy seal died delivering oxygen. the team was only told of the risk of his death after they were deemed mentally strong enough to handle the news. the

boys have already said they would ordain as buddhists novices to honor the man who died trying to keep them safe. the israeli parliament has passed a highly controversial law that explicitly defines a country as the nation homeland of the jewish people there were chaotic scenes in parliament after the bill was approved with arab lawmakers being ejected after protesting now the nuno makes hebrew the country's only official language downgrading arabic to quote special status israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called the vote a defining moment in the history of zionism critics say the law is racist and discriminate. but we will keep ensuring civil rights in israel's democracy these rights will not be harmed but the majority also has rights and the majority decides an absolute majority wants to ensure our state's jewish character for
2:11 pm
generations to come. then there. is a hate crime there are discriminating against the arab citizens against minority with the races. specially those jewish settlements and those arctic is downgrading. the status of the. for more on this i'm now joined by akobo eldar here is an israeli political columnist for al monitor dot com news website thank you for joining us so what do you think benjamin netanyahu is trying to achieve with this law. to score points actually it's meant to make sure that the other right wing quality of the extra luggage right wing policy which is led by minister of education mr bennett will not get the credit for this law this law
2:12 pm
is actually just because they're worrying that israel is not as was mentioned before is not a democratic state it is a turning point in the history of zionism but not because it changes the reality for instance i'll give you one figure since israel was established in fauji eight there were dozens of new cities that were erected but not a single palestinian arab israeli city so it is just giving a kind of a legitimacy to. on equal reality that. we know in israel this is has been here for many years now and this since you know the first one that interview me this is getting attention from all over the world
2:13 pm
and your question is putting israelis in a position that we have to justify the israeli democracy and to prove that israel is still a democracy so let me pick up from where you've left off you know as you say that all voices very strong voices who are claiming that democracy is now long gone in israel what's your view on that. you know there is an inherent kind of paradox between the jewish character that. israel wants to keep and the democratic fashion of. the british mint and the israeli social life. and. this is a very interesting challenge and it's a very delicate. kind of walking on that very thin rope
2:14 pm
between the two that look we have for instance the low offering that allows any jew that never visited israel doesn't know anything about his jewish history to become an israeli citizen and vote in the elections while if you are palestinian. lived here for many years but you left the country and you live in berlin or in the united states in new york you will not be eligible to even get a visa to israel but you know since we want to be boast israelis and jewish there is we need the israeli minority which is the arab minority which is twenty percent of the population will feel comfortable and i want that it's my interest that they will feel comfortable here and that they can say i am an israeli and they're israelis and we both live in democracy and you know i studied arabic and i'm very
2:15 pm
proud of that but my children and right grandchildren don't know a word in arabic and this is a great pity because you know when you have twenty percent it's not a minority it's a substantial number of israeli citizens that need to feel comfortable that they're at home. thank you very much for your input on that thank you very much. let's now turn to some of the other stories making news around the world the european commission has referred hungary to the e.u. court of justice for refusing to comply with european asylum rules the move comes a day after hungary withdrew from a un agreements to manage global migration use executive body also said hungary should change laws criminalizing people or groups who aid asylum seekers.

turkey's state of emergency has come to an end the country had been under emergency rule since a failed coup attempt two years ago it's allowed president don't want to rule by decree and crack down on the opposition the government has already proposed a stringent antiterrorism bill to replace the measure. now u.s. president donald trump has spent a second day trying to contain the fallout from the summit with his russian counterpart vladimir putin at the summit he accepted putin's denial that russia had interfered in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections but a day later trump made a dramatic u. turn saying he accepted his intelligence agencies assessment that russia did meddle it whipped up a firestorm in washington but what exactly do ordinary americans think well richardson visited tennessee where she found that most people want to consent. donald trump is getting an easy right here in tennessee the uproar over his summit
2:17 pm
with vladimir putin hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers getting ready to compete think the talks were nothing to worry about they're happy to see trump talking to putin and think you probably did a good job or at least tried his best i think that no matter who is in office somebody can always do a better job and they're always going to be criticized for whatever they do. i do feel that president turnt does have our best interest at heart. i think that is mr personality it could have been handled better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents in the past are human and make mistakes and he's willing to admit it and come back and attempt in his fashion the fix of. skepticism in trump heartland also runs deep of how the media is portraying this summit with putin and why politicians are bickering over it. republican state senator paul bailey says there's simply not enough information to judge tom's performance
2:18 pm
there's just a lot of speculation out there from others especially those politicians that want to criticize the meeting but in reality we do not know exactly what took place behind closed doors and i'm assuming that it was a good meeting and i'm assuming that our president basically was very pro-american and he certainly let president putin know that. but some republicans have condemned trump for what democrats say was disgraceful or even treasonous appearing to believe in adversaries denial of election interference over information from his own intelligence service says the republican leadership has been frustrated by the putin trump summit because they think it's given democrats more fodder to rally their base around they would prefer voters to be thinking about things like the tax reform plan passed last year as well as the strong state of the u.s. economy as november's mid-term elections come up they're hoping that the scandal surrounding this summit will blow over quickly but trump supporters here never

thought it was a problem to begin with they don't think putin is taking him for a ride. in nicaragua the organization of american states has condemned human rights abuses committed by police and civilians against anti-government protest as now the demonstrators originally took to the streets in april to oppose government welfare cuts but a heavy handed response from security forces has prompted a wide a challenge to the government. after a hard fought battle to regain this neighborhood paramilitary forces loyal to nicaraguan president daniel ortega show they are firmly in control it's the first time that pro-government forces have taken over more nimble a key opposition area in the country's third biggest city. demonstrations here against the government began in mid april because of cuts to social security benefits or takers heavy handed policies have also sparked wider unrest across the country. they asked about the barricade.

2:21 pm
opinion of the other countries. the government says protesters are terrorists seeking a coup d'etat it's past a new anti-terrorism law one critics say will make it even easier for police to criminalize demonstrators. some breaking news coming in just now that spain's supreme court has dropped its request to have germany extradite catalan separatist leader put it on now in case you missed it the decision follows a german court ruling that was made last week which said that pushed him or could not be extradited back to spain on charges of rebellion so pushed him on and other separatist leaders fled abroad have to organizing an illegal referendum on catalan independence last year and we'll definitely have more on this story coming up in our later bulletins but just to reiterate that spain's supreme court has dropped its bid to have. extradited to spain that's now have

set to begin today. this plant in the mexican city of sea level is run by american multinational general motors each year it produces four hundred times and pick up trucks destined for the u.s. market. it's just the kind of operation u.s. president donald trump has tried to clamp down on he wants american carmakers to. at home. but such protectionist rhetoric often overlooks the importance of america's own export markets staying with the example of general motors some five thousand of the company's employees in the united states produce parts which are assembled in mexico. if the united states follows through on its threat to impose tariffs on car imports the cost of pickup trucks in the u.s. would be very likely to increase for general motors that could mean job losses in both mexico and the united states and that's just one example of the potentially

their fifties when the financial crisis struck the two brothers refused to give up a trade that their forefathers began in the eighteen hundreds. making bells is labor intensive and time consuming and then output plunged by sixty percent in the wake of the financial crisis alongside a fall in church donations but the brothers refused to shut down instead they focused on exporting their view spoke jones. there's a moral satisfaction that comes with continuing something your grandfather did your great grandfather your great great grandfather it's quite significant. now more than half the gallon production is ringing out in countries like australia africa and the us. christophe's and thomas sons will continue the business much to the relief of their fathers who feared it would end with them. there was no way i was going to let all my fathers and uncles efforts in building all of this be lost
