but. we do begin this hour with news that directly. with the capital has been shaken on a road leading to the city's or. at least eight people have been killed. with explosives. destroyed.

in the meantime the white house has warned syria's president he will pay a heavy price if he goes through with the chemical attack which the u.s. says he is preparing however no evidence has been provided to support these allegations so investigating the matter but i guess the f. . 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 as sad 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 after and america is not mind. 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 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 hitting the united states has attacked assad five times what they see. these self-defense problem is justifying the prolonged conflict isn't easy when it'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 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 in the meantime moscow has slammed 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 or munition here 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 onto the syrian government meanwhile the u.s. state department with grilled over the lack of evidence to support this claim the matter was rejected and made statements it's an intelligence concern. 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 what you say it's evidence or proof of intelligence i'm not going to get into that one with you not to the states 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 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 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 the assad government would have no reason logical or rational or

military reason to actually use these weapons in this moment in time worth 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 the united states u.s. ambassador recently claiming 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 kooky dance a big show and noise to make them look tough and effective maybe in advance of mr trump's meeting with mr putin at the g.

twenty washington says the preparations it claims to have seen off similar to the ones carried out before a chemical incident in syria's evenly province back in april now this week the un's chemical weapons watchdog confirmed the victims of the incident were exposed to sarin gas however no point to identify any perpetrator it also turned out that the whole fact finding mission didn't even visit the site of the alleged attack citing security risks as the territories under the control of the armed opposition all of that means ultimately the conclusions of the report were mostly based on either interviews of people claiming to be survivors or post-mortems of alleged victims and delivered to a neighboring country which the o.p.c. w. does not specify we discuss the findings of the report with russia's representative to the group. there are pulling expressions in the suit like the team was on the able to pull the they

will all of these. daunting force of all the we're unable to determine where runs on. the hill tool all. the. peach all the. e-book side the. jewel holes beatles were up there with who treated we can't books interprets. these missions is the mission so. just the serious and perfect sections to put it mildly. there is a mission and that is these are people that. it was impossible to implement the past the point the key. for samples from the schools and these is very

thin but. it does something. you can work somebody more. somebody and they're just absolutely no evidence cole it was a deal and another development from syria israel says it attacked our syrian military position in response to a straight mortar shell fired from somewhere over the border israeli defense forces targeted an artillery battery in the golan heights in fact a syrian territory occupied by israel since the one nine hundred sixty s. and this follows five almost identical incidents in the area just over the past week israeli prime minister previously said his country would not tolerate any spillover from the syrian conflict and will respond to all incoming fire and investigative journalist rick starting. believes israel is actually quite deliberately escalating the situation as the syrian army has been says and slowly

but surely it is crushing the the armed opposition and the terrorists what in syria is real is escalating its attacks and its intervention it's really dangerous i mean a couple of facts about that situation number number one is that there's been nobody injured on the in the israeli occupied territory and yet israel has attacked in two syrian soldiers were killed i just a couple of days ago so it's extremely dangerous it's clearly a violation of syrian sovereignty. for a t.v. channel video cameras have been giving c.n.n. a fair few headaches this week a softer string of embarrassments over the network's coverage of russia and one video and senior political commentator revealed his a true i don't shoot towards russia. what do you think's going to happen this week the cold russia. russia being defeated up in really. in the more appealing videos were released this week by the

investigative journalist group project veritas with details on 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 who this leak comes on just in the aftermath of another recent leak from project there a toss in jon bon a field an important producer for c.n.n. says that the russia story is the polite term is 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 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 also those behind the video what the russia thing. we do the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves sometimes you know earthlings from the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media is interpreted you know what the way the drug war and the headline strikes again in the president of the united states just two or radios on earth will instagram if you notice on this it may be yours as well not just c.n.n. i want to make it clear you are the mainstream america or you know you are telling lies you order your stories you're keeping them a little or no going through you're on our list and the week long headache for the channel continued when did a story about former president barack obama's jeans game

a suddenly triggered some online joke. thanks for joining us so far on this sunday more stories of the shape the week here on our international after a quick break. put

themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present. to the press this is. interesting. i've negotiated with the palestinians. for. every time.

the program the start of the week 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 for the prime minister theresa may having to stump up a billion pounds for the over the next two years. we have reached an agreement. in parliament. to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom. this time the agreement will see the prime minister. number of key issues including reforms to pensions and benefits the day u.p.a. has agreed to support the tories on old matters of confidence including talks on

national security issues taking a closer look. i know i know you said there was a no nonsense. 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 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 previously inks 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 twenty years that's in addition to the previously announced five hundred million and funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer

taxpayers resent politicians scooping 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 they do you p.r. 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 once they see a party landed the opposition labor leader jeremy coleman claimed the deal was not in the national interest but rather in maze of an interest and

a forced concern about whether money for the agreement was coming from and the fact that there was no investment for the rest of the cunt. we discussed this issue with various analysts tease it managed to get this group the little coalition together but the do you pretty hold 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 zero toba three i think she'll find it very very difficult all this government together because don't forget she's got simply was the seizure thing you see she's also got a. divided party we have the conservative party to still be massively over the major issue at the moment which is breaks it out of the e.u. so they might make you a little bit miss 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 pray they have a working majority of thirteen of course it only applies 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 are 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 and thousands force there i go with the current government in central london just yesterday protesters demanded theresa may's resignation holding placards reading tories out and not one day more demonstrations will for around three kilometers among the focus of complaints were austerity and privatisation along with demands for better education housing and living standards and we spoke to some of the activists. his story numbers of people here today it's really quite unprecedented and you know i think that just show use that level is just such people have to discover these been a very long standing growing resentment especially i think you know the young the

millennium every situation now where people are realizing the future for the. it is believed leslie get out and do something about it he says don't really have a job or say certainly the c.p.a. the coalition partners come on some issues but in parliament so i think the the idea of this is to bring us all together but also to unite around some policy measures so we can push for a moment where the tension we could see the government i think myself in a very very dangerous position. it is on t. international but the stage is set for the final of the fifo confederations cup being hosted by russia. and former england player stan collymore of bringing you our special coverage of the tournament. the final germany against chile on paper they look pretty well balanced who do you think has the upper hand coin credible i can't remember

a big tournament champions league or world cup or confederations called having such a huge experience. on three goals for germany. two goals for germany lost in long two goals for germany. three of the hoist scorers in this tournament have thirteen caps thirteen appearances for their country between them converse alexy sanchez who plays for austin and 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 see how this plays out let's go to the stadium stadium which is where the final will be played our correspondent part of just outside just before when we were looking at all the numbers of fans who bought tickets signed for russians watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who bought the tickets so a lot 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 made 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. how will it work and 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 petersburg on sunday night the stadiums are ready the trouble is. a lot of study after study from all the for city has been absolutely fantastic i would say that you know it's not like people are looking for problems in the butt you know hearing anything but. absolute ball. but i. see. my. highlight the skill of. this. is. probably. joined by peter stone to the chief correspondent for gold peter great to have you in the studio now first of all just explain to us what are you doing here in russia well obviously it's the big tournament next year the world cup and a lot of our team we haven't been to russia before for work to visit so they've set

me on almost an exploratory mission here it's going to be a proper world cup next year i know a lot of people in the u.k. and ireland in the united states might have certain fears or preconceptions about what it's going to be like on the ground here next year but you know this sort of you know should really anybody's fears about coming here i found great stadiums for a straight stadiums great infrastructure great help from the volunteers free transport between the cities and around the cities for all the science and i just find that the people you know they can't do enough for your people that are warm there and like i said the country will for you if we got a bit of weather for the world cup next year that's all we want i think that's the main. meal will be back throughout the day with the build up to the finals to join us here on the. and coming up next year when all the international the residents of an indian build up on a smoldering coal field are forced to remain to provide for their families despite

the risks so deep introspective story next. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks 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. to make this manufactured consent to public wealth. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room sit. what's.

that going to that there could be dug a deck in the yard and i go i you know i thought i would take the ferry every and. the. old mark let's play chess if it's getting more dead they are glad that. you must not have on the. back the me he said like that is that little bit after me to look at me and.

that is that i'm not and i'm not an activity i thought i'm not i that i'm not that i'm nothing i'm up i'm nothing eternity. i there. for last i'm not a good god i pray that i may be a boy or.
