again. welcome to the. program with news. the capital has been shaken by. syrian state t.v. has reported that at least eight people have been killed. with explosives. however as police were

closing in on the third car the suicide bomber managed to detonate his device. the white house says warned syria's president that he will pay a quote 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 we're under investigation now we said aussies would have guessed if. 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 boof stupid and evil beyond any logic the kind of villain batman would go off to 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 ask how does something really die for 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 what they see. these self-defense problem is justifying the prolonged conflict isn't easy once 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 the parts of the script. a lot 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 the 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 or russia as well as good if you will or. it is likely that where we are seen at the moment is the threshold of a new intervention. and i look at the us experts and they say openly that extremists could use these claims by washington to make provocations and shift the blame onto the syrian government evidence meanwhile the u.s. state department was grilled over the lack of evidence to support the claim or is the matter was rejected amid statements it's an intelligence concern. as to the evidence 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 go to leave that it's in your interest you do put out what you say it's evidence of truthful. intelligence to get it out with you not to face of a hard. 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 trump does 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 with the 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 and u.n. ambassador meantime claim the lack of any recent chemical incidents in syria is simply down 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 be 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 that 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 either province back in april now or this week the un's a chemical weapons watchdog confirmed the victims of that incident were exposed to sarin gas however it did not identify any perpetrator in fact it also turned out that the fact finding mission didn't even visit the site of the alleged attack saying a security risks were a bit too serious as the area was under the control of various armed factions now that means the conclusions of the report are mostly based on either interviews of people claiming to be survivors or post-mortems of alleged victims delivered to a neighboring country which the o.p.c. w. refuses to specify and we discuss the findings of the report with russia's representative to the group. there are expressions in the suit like the team was on the able to fulfill the theme they

will all of these it daunting waltz of all we were unable to determine where. the feel cool all. the. teachin all the. e-book side the. jewel beatles were up there with food three we can't books interprets. these missions there's the mission so just the serious and sections to smile. there is a mission and that is these are people that. it was impossible to implement the chain not past the point the key. for samples from the schools and the users

they really didn't. reach remains a bit of something. you can work somebody more use could be in. there and they just absolutely no evidence go it will deal with and other development from syria israel says it attacked or syrian military position in response to a stray mortar shell fired from somewhere over the border israeli defense forces targeted in our battery on the golan heights in fact a syrian territory occupied by israel since the one nine hundred sixty s. this follows five almost identical incidents in the area throughout just the past week israeli prime minister previously said his country would not tolerate any spillover from the syrian conflict and will respond toward incoming fire we spoke to investigative journalist. stunning he believes israel is actually and quite deliberately escalating the situation. as the syrian army have been says and slowly

but surely it is crushing the the armed opposition the terrorists what in syria is real is escalating its attacks and its intervention it's really dangerous and in a couple of facts about 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 i just a couple of days ago so it's extremely dangerous it's clearly a violation of syrian sovereignty. for t.v. channel video cameras have been giving c.n.n. a fair few headaches this week it's off to a string of embarrassments over the network's coverage of russia and one video it senior political commentator reveals his attitude towards russia. what do you think's going to happen this week with all russia. russia being just the beginning of the book really. and more revealing videos were released this week by the

investigative journalism group project veritas with details is. 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 a commentator for c.n.n. in the clip he says that 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 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 and 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 we all asked of the people behind the video what the russia thing refers to. we put the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves sometimes you happen earthlings in the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media from first reading it the way the drudge report as a headline of he strikes again in the president of the united states just two of our videos august personal instagram channel so i'm assuming he agrees as well not just c.n.n. i want to make this very clear if you are the mainstream media in america at the end you are telling lies you are defending people you're gatekeeping stories you're keeping the public from know the truth is you're on our list all the week long headache for the channel continued when did a story about former president barack obama's jeans game suddenly triggered some

online mockery. and. cost the hour here in moscow thanks for joining us here on aussie international a northern irish party agrees to support the policies of the british conservative government but at a hefty price details after the break. in

case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is around. washington. media. business to run this country business because. it's not business is huge it's business like it's never been. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime. who did it where 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. could have you with us today for the program 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 in order to shore up its power but the deal came at a price with prime minister recep may happen to stump up eight. pounds for the province over the next two years. we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government and parliament disagreement. to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest this cycle. and the

agreement will see the prime minister back track on a number of key election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits do you piers agree to support the tories on matters of confidence including talks and national security issues he's an associate has been taking a closer look. i know right now something there was a no nonsense oh no no. 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 previous links 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 in funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer taxpayers 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 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 party funded opposition labor leader jeremy corbin claimed the deal was not in the national interest but rather in may's interest in a voiced concern about where the money for the agreement was coming from and the fact that there was no investment for the rest of the. we discussed this with various analysts g.'s it managed to get this group b. 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 the election by toba i think she'll find it very very difficult to hold this government together because don't forget she's got to be pleased to see you please she's also got a police divided party on the conservative party is still massively divided over the major issue at the moment which is brics it and 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 play 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 were very unhappy about these changes can 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 voice their anger with the current government in central london just yesterday protesters demanded teresa mayes resignation holding placards reading tories out and not one day more on saturday's walk for around three kilometers among the focus of complaints were austerity and privatisation along with demands for the better education housing and living standards and here on r.t. we spoke to some of the activists. his story numbers of people here today it's

really quite unprecedented and you know i think i just show use the 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 generation now where people are realising it. shifted his belief unless they get out and do something about it he says they really haven't much oversea certainly did say you believe that 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 use it to unite around simplicity measures so we can push for an argument with potentially we could see the government i think myself in a very very dangerous position and. it is also the international stage is set for the final of the fifo confederations cup hosted by russia. neil harvey and former england player stan collymore we're bringing you our special coverage of the top of .

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 gretz go on three goals for germany team over and on two goals for germany lost in long two goals for germany. three of the holy scorers in this tournament have 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 think petersburg stadium which is where the final will be played our correspondent a part of just outside just before hand when we were looking older numbers of fans sign for russians watching the tournament chile and germany were among the fans who

bought the most tickets so lots of them there there are they've been anticipating good final text rich for a moment something in two trips over a month haven't seen so much as anybody over them but their beautiful eyelids up made man woman and child racism hooliganism. where receipt nobody has reported anything i think is for the delight of fee for particular russia as well but johnny avanti now was full of praise but we were hearing about violence about incidents. of. racism when we had nothing we had no incidents everything run smoothly everything run perfectly we're hearing about the infrastructure as well they are not ready how will it work and the infrastructure is absolutely beautiful beautiful football stadiums transport works is something that does not happen in many other countries were big events are 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 of the infrastructure would be ready 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 stadiums to petersburg on sunday night the stadiums are ready the trouble is. often just took a lot of stick to say from all four cities been absolutely fantastic i would say that you know it's not like people are looking for problems and about you not hearing anything but. absolutely. this week that i was leaving family was money. from syria i like you still and i. was. told i was.

joined by peter staunton he's chief correspondent for gold dot com 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 a big tournament next year the world cup and a lot of our team we haven't been to russia before for work to visit me on almost an expert. 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 and infrastructure great help from the volunteers free transport between the cities and around the cities for all the sounds i just find that the people you know the country would know for you people that are warm there . and like i said the country will for you if we could have been a winner for the world cup next year that's all we want i think that's the main thing opposite of what. your analogy international with the build up to the final

israel's senior peace negotiators mr sharon is such an order such a pleasure to have you on the show thank you very much for your time i thank you now it's believed that israel has largely stayed out of the syrian war even though occasionally it did conduct airstrikes as well as had some assist them assistance program going on to how the government groups operating in and around the golan heights what is your sense about this conflict where is it heading now well it seems that the conflict this terrible tragic bloodshed is moving slowly towards some kind of subsided arrangement and israel has been very consistent since the outset of this conflict it does not intervene in this internal tragedy we've been on the sidelines since the outset as you know except for.
