any. evidence. that wasn't. right and nor would that be laid out. with providing any evidence to support the claim. that. the way for us intervention in the country. c.n.n. is read the undercover videos reveal the truth of some of it employees towards russia. the start of the british prime minister. to northern ireland. continuing. into the streets in

protest. of two thousand and seven. a champion will be crowned. international law. welcome to the weekly we begin with news from syria where the capital has been shaken by car bombings on the road leading to the city's airport syrian state television has reported that at least eight people have been killed and twelve. three cars were said to have been packed with explosives take me to

claims two were intercepted and destroyed at an airport roundabout however as police were closing in on the third call the suicide bomber managed to detonate his defiance. the white house has warned syria's president he'll 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. investigates. bashar al assad has one really bad habit and that's how it is and he only does this when he's winning he ruins everything by doing something really stupid for no reason to. take me now they crushing islamic states liberating vaal swathes 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 that said knows the pro-ball consequences of a chemical attack it's the only thing really right now who could ruin him by giving his enemies 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 both stupid and evil beyond any logic the kind a villain man would go off and america is batman. 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 it does something really dumb for no 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 and if you've been following events in syria recently you know they'll hitting the united states has attacked i said times and what they say is self defense. problem is justifying the prolonged conflict isn't easy western voters don't want another gung ho campaign they learned their lesson off the first few times the international community sick of reckless interventions the only thing left is to wait for asset to give them a cools and since he's a comic book supervillain that's just part of the script going to slam washington's ultimatum to say we're calling it a provocation which looks like a threshold for a full blown u.s. military intervention. one is here it is even we knew about 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 provocation both military and informational targeting not only syria or russia as well as good if the war mean if it is likely that what we are seeing at the moment is the threshold of a new intervention. i look at the u.s. experts and they say openly that extremists could use these claims by washington to make provocations and shift the blame onto 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 amid statement and intelligence concern. that's 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 guys believe that it's in your

interests you do what you say it's evidence. of intelligence i'm not going to get into that with you but i did 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 truong definitely does not have any qualms in actually attacking syria militarily on the ground as we've seen from 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 at this moment in time were 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 washington says the preparations it claims to have seen a similar to the ones carried out before a chemical incident in syria's italy province back in april this week the un's chemical weapons watchdog confirmed the victims of that instant were exposed to sarin gas however it did not identify the perpetrator it also turned out that the fact finding mission did not even visit the site of the alleged attack citing security risks as the territories under the control of the armed opposition that means the conclusions of the report but 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 one. we discussed the findings of the report with russia's representatives to the current. there are expressions in the city like the team was on the table saw the

little girl saw all of these the daunting force of all the we're unable to all will determine where the bunkers on. the hill jewel all. the. teachin all the. e-book side the. jewel holes peoples. who treated we can't books interprets. these missions there's a mission so. just as serious and put it in 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 two schools and these are

very similar but. we don't have samples but you can buy somebody a mortar school and been brought by somebody and they just absolutely know all the evidence cole it was deal with. now for a t.v. channel video cameras have been giving a 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 its senior political commentator revealed his attitude towards the country. what do you think's going to happen this week the gold rush. was going to meet up with really. more revealing that his were released this week by the investigative journalism great project very time with the details his caleb maupin 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 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 veritas and jon bon a field an important producer for c.n.n. says 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 the people behind the video want the russia thing refers to. we were the car radio out there i mean people can judge for

themselves sometimes you have to infer things from the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media is some for pretty you know what the way the drug war and we're going to wind it strikes again when the president of the united states just went out to a radio as i was urging the instagram you know so i'm going to make your group as well not just c.n.n. i want to make it clear you are in the mainstream in america you are telling why you are getting your stories your keeping them a little note of the truth you're on our list. now the start of the week full of the u.k.'s minority conservative government finally sign 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 for the province over the next two years. we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government and parliament

disagreement operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time. the agreement will see the prime minister backtrack on a number of key and lection pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits the d.p. has agreed to support the tories on all matters of confidence including bragg's it talks on national security issues honestly a joke and has been taking a closer look. i know i know you said there was a no nonsense oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 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 again with a hefty price tag of one billion pounds to be spent over the next three 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 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 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 and party one day after the break we'll be going live to st petersburg for both confederations cup final is just moments away. i've negotiated with the palestinians under oath official and unofficial it's for hundreds and thousands of dollars what i have seen is that the palestinians may go see eighteen. or nothing. kind all over to you every time that we reach a juncture in which there was a possibility to resolve a conflict the palestinians just walked away.
