with. the.

chilling. we can show you some of the latest pictures now from the scene. also reporting that a number of people killed. the details given. was allegedly one of the three.

authorities police reportedly destroyed two other bombs in separate locations in western damascus and here on r.t. international the moment a week at the updates you'll get them to otherwise log on to r.t. dot com. well for now the white house has warned syria's president he will pay a heavy price if he goes through with a chemical attack which the u.s. claims he's preparing however no evidence was provided to support the allegations so i'm one of the guys dia of investigations but sha allah saad 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 as sad knows the probable consequences 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 the yawned any logic the kind of villain batman would go after and america is not mine. 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 i. does something really dumb for new

reason again the u.k. will join the u.s. 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 know they aren't kidding the united states has attacked assad five times what they say is self-defense problem it is justifying the per long conflict isn't easy what's the voters don't want another gung ho bombing campaign they learned their lesson after the first few times the international community sick of reckless interventions and you 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

a part of the script moscow has washington's ultimatum to syria calling it a provocation which looks like a threshold for a full blown us military intervention one is yes namely it is even when you're both statements from washington we also knew that the us 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 probation both military and informational its star getting not only syria but russia as well as good if you will meaning it is likely that what we are seeing at the moment is the threshold of a new intervention. i look at the us 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 the matter was rejected and statements. it's an intelligence concern. and i just have

evidence to share with us about this potential preparation for these 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 or proof let's 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 therion militarily on the ground as we've seen trump those seem like he wants 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 this stage in the war now with the assad government is almost. a victory towards the end and this wasn't the case a few years ago so the assad government would have no reason logical or rational or

military reason to actually use these weapons at 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 international the united states u.n. ambassador claimed the lack of any recent chemical incidents in syria has been 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 it claims to have seen are similar to the ones carried out before a chemical incident in syria's province back in april this week the un's chemical weapons watchdog confirm the victims of that incident were exposed to sarin gas however it did not identify any perpetrator it also turned out that the whole of fact finding mission didn't even visit the site of the alleged attack citing security risks as the territory is under the control of the armed opposition well that means the conclusions of the report were mostly based on either interviews of people claiming to be survivors or post-mortems of alleged victims delivered to a neighboring country the o.p.c. w. statement did not specify which country we discussed the findings of the report with the russia's representative to the group. there are expressions in the suit like the team was on the able to pull the

little small these. daunting costs of all we were unable to will be going where guns are used to be feel cool all. the. teachin all the. e-book side the. fuel bills to kill with food treated we can't books interprets. these missions there's the mission so. just the serious imperfect actions to put it mildly. there is a mission and that is these are people. it was impossible to implement the past the point the key. for samples from the schools and he says they really

didn't. reach really is a bit of samples but you can buy somebody more been brought by somebody and they just absolutely no evidence cole it was there and in another development from syria israel says it attacked a 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. now this follows five almost identical incidents in the area just over the past week is ready for israeli prime minister previously said his country would not tolerate any spillover from the syrian conflict and will respond to all incoming fire. investigative journalist rick stirling believes israel is actually quite deliberately escalating the situation as the syrian army has been so since

literally but surely is is crushing the the armed opposition the terrorists within syria israel is escalating its attacks and its intervention it's really dangerous i mean a couple of facts that situation number number one is that there's been nobody injured on 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. 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 embarrassments over the network's coverage of russia in one video it's seen a political commentator revealed his true attitude towards the country but what do you think's going to happen speak to the whole russia. russia thing to be nothing

really. all revealing videos were released this week by the investigative journalism group project veritas with details his kind of mafia yet another leak related to c.n.n. from james o'keefe and project vera toss 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 even polite term is nonsense that was just recently released as well though. it's important to know that these videos that are coming out are not without controversy james o'keefe is personally facing a 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 we asked of the people behind the video what the russia thing refers to. the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves and times you happen 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 drug war and the headlines of key strikes again in the president of the united states just two of our videos on his erstwhile instagram show you know so i'm assuming your group 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 ordinary people you're keeping stories you're keeping the public from knowing the truth you're on our list the week long headache for the channel continued when did a story about former president barack obama's jeans game suddenly triggered some

joking online. and. most stories that shaped the week after a short break. thank

you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media over the voters elected businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to do it for us this is what the three of them will be good. interested in the water.

good to have you with us today at the start of the week so the u.k.'s minority conservative government finally signed a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to shore up its power with a deal certainly came at a price with prime minister to resign me having to stump up a billion pounds for the province over the next two years we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament this agreement. to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time the agreement will see the prime minister back track on a number of key election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits do you

peter has agreed to support the tories on all matters of confidence including talks of national security issues correspondent understudy a church has been taking a closer look. 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 art. and which is opposed to hard brags that something may has accepted as a possibility on top of that the do you have been criticised for their policies on same sex marriage and abortion as well as previously with violent paramilitary groups in northern ireland not a perfect ally but attendee 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 twenty 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. spares resent politicians cooking up deals behind closed doors that invariably end with their cash being thrown wherever it's 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 has shredded the last vestiges of credibility of this weekend prime minister it is outrageous that the prime minister believes she can secure her own political future by throwing money at northern ireland was 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 say see if you're going to party funded opposition labor leader jeremy called and claim the deal was not in the national interest but

rather in maze of interest he also voiced 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 this deal with various analysts. managed to get this little coalition together but the do you pretty hold ten seats she's still a minority government i think she's going to have real problems lasted i certainly think they'll be an election by october essential find it very very difficult to. this government together because don't forget she's got to be pleased to see you please she's also got a really. divided party on the conservative party to still be massively divided over the major issue at the moment which is breaks it out of the e.u. so it 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 d. you pretty they have a working majority of thirteen of course you 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 evident 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 are very unhappy about these changes it's going to 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. thousands voiced their anger with the current government in central london just yesterday protesters demanding teresa mayes resignation holding placards reading torie's out and not one more day demonstrators walked for around three kilometers among the focus of complaints will austerity and privatization along with demands for a better education housing and living standards and here on this network we spoke to some of the activists. his story numbers of people here today is really quite unprecedented and you know i think that just show use that level is just such people have rediscovered these been

a very long standing growing resentment especially i think you know the young the millennium every generation now where people are realizing 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 is a lot of young people have done a lot of protest and these people all you know so much younger crowd than normal this is they really have a job or see certainly did see the the coalition partners come on some issues but in parliament so i think the the idea of this is to bring us all together see say yes we'd like to achieve these inmates it had to leave now i would like another election and we're confident that the progressive parties could win on the job or say in a new election but also to unite around some policy measures so we can push for an ornament where the tension we can see the government no i think by itself in a very very dangerous position election day by the by the lack of success that she had in. a migrant bottleneck is developing on the italian french

border where controls have been tightened with drones and guard dogs deployed the following video kept at a makeshift camp biology's video agency ruptly shows the heavy price people are paying to traffickers to continue their journey not. well it's. either. italy's become the main entry point for refugees crossing about a trainee and typically. this week italy threatened to start turning away migrant rescue ships arriving out of southern shores and warn the new the situation has become unsustainable tensions have been spiking with a series of and c and pro migrant protests sweeping the country. for the stage is set for the final of the fifo confederations cup which is being

big stadium which is where the final will be played part of just outside just before when we were looking at all the numbers of fans who signed for russians watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who bought the tickets so lots of them there there are they've been anticipating good final checks which for a moment a long two trips over a month i've been seeing so much as anybody other than but their beautiful eyelids that maybe man woman and child racism hooliganism where receipt nobody has reported anything i think to the delight of fee for particular russia as well but johnny and feinstein it 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.

infrastructures are absolutely beautiful beautiful football stadiums transport works is something that does not happen in many other countries. big events 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 but it's all coming together and for once we cannot 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 it's to petersburg on sunday night. and took a lot of study after study from all the four cities has been absolutely fantastic. i would say that you know it's not like people are looking for problems in the but you know hearing and he said. absolutely it was. my. home studio i like the school and. this.
