a mother with the murders of 5 of her children officials believe she said they did and then suffocated them before trying to take her own life bring you the latest on the investigation. i'm phil gail welcome to the program nato has added its voice to the growing calls for answers from moscow the poisoning of russian opposition the next and volley the military alliance is demanding that the kremlin fully cooperate on the investigation this week the german government concluded that mist in the valley had been poisoned with nabil chock a soviet era russian nerve agent. nato leaders meeting here to discuss an attempted assassination outside their borders why does nato believe that it would have a mandate to act in this case for an attack that was not on nato territory because

this is a violation of international law on the international norms it's a use over chemical of and so use over over you know chemical nerve agent which is violating her probation over any use of the chemical weapons and the matters for nato's secretary general again stoltenberg says germany provided evidence beyond doubt that he knows the chalk a nerve agent was used on a russian dissident alexina valmy he also requested transparency from moscow is. nato allies agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the impartial international investigation. those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice. the kremlin has dismissed the conclusion reached by german doctors saying it has

received no proof from when it was poisoned. we listen to these lofty and pompous statements from our western colleagues with a certain amount of skepticism. we will see what facts they provide what about the behavior itself in the public sphere such a noxious and arrogant to man's in the time that our western colleagues are using but i don't think they can provide anything other than fake evidence so far for all of a development is still in a coma in a barely hospital and faces a long and uncertain road to recovery the nature of poisoning means answers will be hard to come by nature and the european union have not yet decided how they will react as they try to untangle the issue of standing up for someone who is not attacked on their soil. well the german government is also facing calls to take action against moscow that could include cancelling construction of the controversial nord stream to pipeline which is due to deliver russian gas directly

to germany he doesn't is chief political correspondent melinda crane asked conservative lawmaker thomas is still the horn how he thought burl in should respond. well i think it's up to the international community as a whole and 2 in particular european parliament countries to respond to this crime which is at the same time. infringement of public international law because this nerve agent is prohibited under international law our response should be a clear and quick response and we have to stand together but at the same time react in a way that cannot be misunderstood by russia as we can is one signal that would not be misunderstood is if germany were to suspend or terminate the north stream gas pipeline project there is increasing political pressure on the german government to

do that how do you see it. while this is under discussion indeed it seems to me that primarily political options should be preferred but i think we should not. step into a competition on out beating ourselves who makes the strong proposal and suggestion we should at 1st indeed stand together our response should be appropriate but also proportional the head of the bundestag foreign affairs committee who is a member of your sister party the c.d.u. says that continuing the north stream project would increase germany's dependence on russia and send a signal to russia that it can flout western condemnation how unified are the 2 conservative parties in their response to russia. dependency can also be to the benefit of both parties but now we have to realize that russia for years

already does not only disregard the territorial integrity of its neighboring countries but also the in tikrit of its own citizens and that's why at peace. it is not an option you have good connections to the u.s. administration which has long opposed north stream are you worried that if germany does persist with this project it could further exacerbate transatlantic tensions. but i think we should narrow our possible response to this wall street and to project we should find a response should be should that could be taken by all european union partners and the international community and with regard to north korea they are so many aspects at stake also economic interests not only from germany and russia but also from the united states they are also deliveries for oil and gas from russia to the united states so we should be open and frank in our bilateral relations but of

course everything is under discussion no. thank you very much on the field hockey. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world in the united states president trump says serbia and kosovo have now agreed to normalize economic ties as follows talks at the white house as a child held the deal as a major breakthrough between the balkan countries serbia still does not recognize its neighbors independence of kosovo broke away more than 10 years ago. italy's former prime minister who tested positive for coverage 19 this week house early stage lung infection according to his doctor the 83 year old was hospitalized in milan on thursday night doctors now say his condition is encouraging. one person is missing presumed dead following a fire on a super tanker off the coast of sri lanka which one could navy says the place has now become tight that's no real danger of an oil spill. police in the
