and who runs the business. and. the move. some of its employees. on the start of the week.

surely. surely it's going to be germany. in a few minutes if we continue. for the weekly the top stories of the day the week. the white house has warned syria's president quote heavy price through with a chemical attack which the u.s. claims he's preparing. has been looking into details. but shah al assad has one really bad habit and

that habit is and you need does this when he's winning he ruins everything by doing something really stupid for no reason at all. take acids army now they're crushing slavek state liberating vast swaths of syria and out of the blue comes this the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the saddam regime i said knows the probable cause and sequences of a chemical attack it's the only thing really right now that could ruin him by giving his enemies the opportunity of a pretext to attack him why would he do it because he's evil the murderous syrian dictator bashar assad has been a brutal dictator bashar al assad's a murderous regime in syria assad is the worst kind of brutal war criminal

a classic super villain booth stupid and evil beyond any logic the kind of villain batman would go off to and america is not. if mr assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons he and his military will pay a heavy price britain is already on board if asked how does something really dumb a new reason again the u.k. will join the us in punishing him we think it's absolutely right if we can to prevent the use of chemical weapons and we will fully support any u.s. action if you've been following events in syria recently you knew they aren't kidding the united states has attacked assad five times in what they see. is self-defense problem is justifying the per long conflict isn't

easy what's the voters don't want another gung ho bombing campaign they learn their lesson after the first few times the international community sick of reckless interventions the only thing left is to wait for asaad to give them a cause and since he's a comic book supervillain well it's just the parts of the script. moscow has slammed washington's ultimatum to syria calling it a provocation which looks like a threshold for u.s. intervention. it is even when you're both statements from washington we also knew that the u.s. officials refused to confirm the claims with any facts so we don't know what these conclusions are based on the situation looks like a massive pro-creation both military and information know it's targeting not only syria or russia as well it's good if you would mean if it is likely that what we

are seeing at the moment is the threshold of a new intervention. and i look at the u.s. experts and they say openly that extremists could use these claims by washington make provocations and shift blame on to the syrian government. meanwhile the u.s. state department was grilled over the lack of evidence to support the claim that the matter was rejected and that statements it's an intelligence matter just have evidence to share with us about this potential preparation for the use of chemical weapons because that was an absolutely right and nor would that be laid out because that would be considered an intelligence matter when you guys believe that it's in your interests you do put out what you say it's evidence of truthful things that all intelligence i'm not going to get into that one with you not to face of america is looking for some sort of provocation in syria and is actually putting pretext for some sort of possible intervention and if history is anything to go by then trump definitely does not have any qualms in actually attacking syria militarily on

the ground as we've seen from those seemed like he wanted to do some sort of intervention and he's looking for a reason to do so and what people need to comprehend is that we're at a stage in the war now where the assad government is almost. a victory towards the end and this wasn't the case a few years ago so you thought the government would have no reason logical or rational or military reason to actually use the. weapons in this moment in time where the rebels have every single reason to provoke such an attack and to possibly use these weapons themselves and see the reaction that they want from the united states and their allies internationally meantime the united states u.s. and u.n. ambassador claims that the lack of any recent chemical incidents in syria has been simply due to washington's threat of retaliation i can tell you that due to the president's actions we did not see and i would like to think that the president

saved many n.s.a. men women and children to have mr madison and bassett or haley essentially claiming credit for the non occurrence of event that was unlikely to have occurred in the first place it's very strange and it makes you wonder if this was all some kind of a big what we call a kabuki dance a big show in noise to make them look tough and effective maybe the advance of mr trump's meeting with mr putin at the g. twenty. washington says the preparations are claims to have seen are similar to the ones carried out before a chemical incident in syria's huge lead province back in april this week the un's chemical weapons watchdog confirmed the victims of that incident were exposed to sarin gas the statement from the watchdog also pointed out it's monday did not include identifying any perpetrator adding that its team was unable to visit the site of the attack so the report's conclusions are based on post-mortems and biomedical samples collected from victims who were moved to quote a neighboring country we discussed the findings of the report with russia's

representative to the group. there are little expressions in the suit like the team was on the able to fulfill the they will all of these. daunting calls of all we were unable to will determine where. the fill tool set is. teachin all the. side the. jewel holes peoples. who treat it we can't books interpret. these missions is the mission so. just the serious input will sections to put it mildly.

there is a mission and that these are people that. it was impossible to implement the chain not past the point the key. sample is prone to schools and he says they really didn't. reach really is a bit of something. you can do but somebody more used to be in. there and they just absolutely no evidence cole it will deal with and other development from syria israel says it has attacked our syrian military position in response to a stray mortar shell fired from somewhere over the border israeli defense forces targeted an artillery battery in the golan heights a syrian territory occupied by israel since the one nine hundred sixty s. this follows five almost identical incidents in the area throughout the past week israeli prime minister previously said his country will not tolerate any spillover from the syrian civil war and will spawn to all incoming fire investigative

journalist regarding believes israel is. actually escalating the situation as the syrian army has been so since literally but surely is is crushing be the armed opposition the terrorists within syria israel is escalating its attacks and its intervention it's really dangerous i mean a couple of tracks the situation number number one is that there's been nobody injured in the israeli occupied territory and yet israel has attacked in two syrian soldiers were killed just a couple of days ago so it's extremely dangerous it's clearly a violation of syrians so pretty. some poster in moscow for a t.v. channel video cameras have been giving c.n.n. a fair few headaches this week that's after a string of and barrus months over the network's coverage of russia and one video its political commentator revealed his attitude towards the country but what do you

think's going to happen this week to be with all russia. russia going to be nothing really. the more revealing videos were released this week by the investigative journalism group project veritas with details his kind of moment yet another leak related to c.n.n. from james o'keefe and project vera tusk that was van jones who briefly served in the obama administration and is now as a commentator for c.n.n. in the clip he says that the the russia thing is a nothing burger and now it's important to be clear here we don't exactly know what he's referring to about the russia thing could be the russian investigation could be the allegations about trump the context of the clip is not exactly clear this leak comes on just in the aftermath of another recent leaks from project there a toss and jon bon a field an important producer for c.n.n. says that the russia story is polite terms nonsense that was just recently released

as well that it's important to know that these videos that are coming out are not without controversy. james o'keefe is personally facing at a million dollar lawsuit at the hands of a contractor he interviewed after he interviewed them posing as someone else and this was a contractor allegedly working with the democratic party so there's a lot of questions that still remain and we asked those up on the radio what the rush thing. we were the entire video out there i mean people can judge for them so often times it happened earthlings in the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media is interpret it the way the drudge report and the headline of key strikes again in the president of the united states just to a radio zogby personal instagram which you know so i'm assuming he agrees as well not just c.n.n. i want to make this very clear if you were the mainstream media in america if you are telling lies you are defending your gatekeeping stories you're keeping the

public from knowing the truth you're on our list the week long headache for the channel continued when i posted an article about former president barack obama's jeans game and that has triggered some jokes online.

you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international thanks for joining us so far it was at the start of the week the british prime minister prop up a minority government by handing a huge chunk of cash to northern ireland's do you pay that story and much more after the break.

one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime. who did it why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything. thanks for joining us at the start of the week so the u.k. is minority conservative government finally signed a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to shore up its power but the deal came at a price with prime minister theresa may having to stump up a billion pounds over the next two years we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government and parliament this agreement. to

deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this cycle time the agreement will see the prime minister backtrack on a number of key election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits the u.p.a. has also agreed to change its policies also use anastasio has been taking a closer look. i was writing something there was a night in moscow thank you very much. instead of stepping down the british prime minister had a different plan but it seemed like whichever way she turned there was potential for trouble the tories have penned a deal with the democratic unionist party of northern ireland which is opposed to a hard bracks it something may has accepted as a possibility on top of that the d u p have been criticised for their policies on same sex marriage and abortion as well as previous leagues with violent paramilitary groups in northern ireland not a perfect ally but the attendee u.p.a.

m.p.'s have been crucial for theresa may so much so she was ready to pay their support came with a hefty price tag of one billion pounds to be spent over the next two years that's in addition to the previously announced five hundred million in funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer taxpayer has resent politicians cooking up deals behind closed doors that invariably end with their cash being thrown wherever is politically advantageous rather than where it could be best spent to recently called it a good deal and the do you be are delighted if you think the same applies to scotland and wales think again this is the worst kind of pork barrel politics which trust rather the last vestiges of credibility over this what can prime minister it is outrageous that the prime minister believes she can secure her own political future by throwing money at north an island whilst completely ignoring the rest of the u.k. despite the british government having now plastered together a solution the question is for how long will it stick after all the irony is that

a mere seven tory m.p.'s switching sides would potentially be enough for a majority to slip away and if they see a party landed the opposition labor leader jeremy coleman claimed the deal was not in the national interest but rather an amazing. invoice concern about where the money for the agreement was coming from and the fact there was no investment for the rest of the country we discussed the deal with lists. jesus managed to get this group b. little coalition together but the do you pretty whole ten see she's still a minority government i think she's going to have real problems lasting i certainly think they'll be an election by toba i think she'll find it very very difficult to hold this government together because doesn't get she's got to be pleased to see you please she's also got a really. divided party on the concept of party is still massively divided over the major issue at the moment which is brics it and the e.u.

so they might make you a little bit was more secure for a few days but this is no one so i think it bites that obviously makes position more secure because with the do you play they have a working majority of thirteen of course i don't know your ploys to confidence and supply matters government isn't going to get much of a legislative program through but that was over didn't in the thin nature of the queen's speech in a sense it's save the conservatives what could have been a great deal of trouble with some of their own supporters who were very unhappy about these changes it's going to make it more difficult for the conservatives to balance the books which they're having problems with anyway in terms of trying to reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level but i thousands voice their anger over the current government in central london yesterday protesters demanded terrorism is resignation holding placards reading tories out and not one more day demonstrators water around three kilometers among the focus of complaints well austerity cuts and privatization along with the balance for better education housing and living standards we spoke

to some of the activists his story numbers of people here today is really quite unprecedented and you know i think i just show use a level is just such people have to discover these been a very long standing growing resentment especially i think you know the young the millennial every situation now where people are realising the future if it is bleak unless they get out and do something about it and. so i think that's what we're seeing here today there's a lot of young people at a lot of protests and these people all you know so much younger crowd than normal this is they really have a much oversea saying we did see you p. that coalition partners come through on some issues but in parliament so i think the the idea of this is to bring us all together say yes we'd like to be to be summated to lead now we'd like another election and we're confident that the progressive parties could wind energy i would say in a new election but also to unite around some policy measures so we can push for an

argument with potentially we could see the government i think the south in a very very dangerous position election by the by the lack of success that he had in. his all the international stage is set for the final of the fifo confederations cup being hosted by russia neil harvey and former england player stan collymore we're bringing you our special coverage of the top. down the final germany against chile on paper they look pretty well balanced who do you think has the upper hand which point credible i can't remember big tournament whether it be champions league or world cup or confederation is called having such a huge experience got all the love right not for you. go on three goals for germany team of two goals for germany lost in long two goals for germany. three of the holy

scores in this tournament thirteen caps thirteen appearances for their country between them converse the alexy son chase a place more often than england has got one hundred fourteen appearances for chile so it's a huge gap in experience and it's going to be fascinating to hear these plays out let's go to the stadium now st petersburg stadium which is where the final. we'll be playing our correspondent a part of just outside obviously not too many in the way of fans of the movie maybe a few days here is having a look around but what's the big cited about set up as you said to be a cracking final with two of the world's best teams and also just before hand when we were looking at all the numbers of fans who bought tickets assigned for russians watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who bought the tickets so a lot of them they're there and they've been anticipating good final checks which for a moment i'm going to go on to trips over a month i've been seeing so much as anybody other than but their beautiful eyelids

that made man woman and child racism hooliganism where receipt. well there isn't any apparently across reports across the whole of the media or across the world as well and nobody has reported anything i think to the delight of fee for particular russia as well but johnny avanti now was full of praise we were hearing about violence about incidents. about. racism when we had nothing we had no incidents everything run smoothly everything run perfectly we're hearing about the infrastructure as well the are not ready how will it work and all this well the infrastructure is are absolutely beautiful beautiful football stadiums transport works visa free entry will defend id free transport the between the venues by train this is something that does not happen in many other countries were big events or organized since the time that the

world cup bid was announced and whether she would be and then about the confederations cup we've been hearing about the negatives about the potential for races and the potential for hooliganism the infrastructure would be ready but it's all coming together and for once we can now concentrate on the positives it's all about a cracking game of football between two of the world's best teams here at the magnificent stadium on sunday night the stadiums are ready the trouble is ready and often there's took a lot of stick to say from all the four cities been absolutely fantastic. i would say that you know it's not like people looking for problems in the but you know hearing and he said that the most. absolute ball of something. like my mind. like you still and. this. is. all.
