videos claiming to show a chemical attack conducted by assad is fake saying washington is threatening to strike syria in case a toxic incident has triggered a provocation coming. donald trump attack c.n.n. again posting a mock wrestling video showing him taking down what he calls a fake news channel. completely sure but it's coverage of this one seventeen confederations cup.

it's seven o'clock am in moscow and you're watching all t. international life the last few days here with me. welcome to the week. the russian foreign ministry spokesman has slammed a video is alleged to show the off to mouth of a chemical attack in syria saying they are fakes produced as part of an anti assad propaganda campaign. the social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this plan to be on a grand scale it is purporting to show victims of an assad ordered chemical attack flooded social media on saturday that's after the white house accuse the syrian government of preparing a toxic strike so when journalist abraham says it would make no sense for damascus

to do anything of the sort to survey the amount of the sarong issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a well known tactic used by terrorist groups according to the statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they tried to stage chemical attacks to stop the army from advancing they are going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks and it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming militarily in achieving actually substantial most regains a more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually force the army to bring its operations into a complete halt and washington was asked to back up its salivation that damascus was preparing a chemical attack it failed to provide any evidence but as daniel bushell explains the u.s. doesn't seem to need much proof when it comes to accusing us that. bashar al assad

has one really bad habits and that's how it is and he only does this when he's winning he ruins everything but doing something really stupid for no reason at. take me now they crushing islamic states liberating vul 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 this that knows the pro bowl 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 assad's a murderous regime in syria assad is the worst kind of brutal war criminal a plastic 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 are getting the united states has attacked as that point 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 i mean 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. yeah director of the trans national foundation for peace and future research says the western media campaign to demonize assad is verging on foster called. the mainstream media the large media that are influencing the decision making process and the citizens opinion about this you take the case for instance of the black picture painted of of the house that now nobody can be as evil as he's been made in the western world it is very important that we are aware that. good analysis is all put in the background these days in international politics. u.s. president all trump has taken another swipe at the media this time almost literally

posting among radio of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . with thank you. thank. him has been accusing c.n.n. of producing fake news and being biased against him since his election in a tweet he said he was thinking of changing the channels to fraud new c.n.n. c.n.n. have responded with their own tweet accusing the president of encouraging violence . c.n.n. has been on the defensive quite a lot this week several undercover videos were posted online allegedly exposing attitudes at the channel towards russia related stories. the point c.n.n. constantly away. from. this is ratings this ratings

raiser they were right but honestly if you think. it's just like. it's mostly right now we don't know. john. what do you think's going to happen this week to russia. that's going to be really . you just saw a c.n.n. producer and one of their political commentators the last found jones responded to the undercover video saying his words had been taken out of context and as he did not think there was nothing to claims team trying colluded with russia and tried to cover it up both videos were released by investigative journalism group project in veritas their fund is already facing a million dollar lawsuit over an undercover video sting against democratic organizations and activists we asked americans what they think about their media's coverage of and obsession with russia related stories. are you tired of hearing

about trump and russia yes actually yes that's all i hear about from. it's just getting a little tiring we're all exhausted however however it has to be it has to do the truth has to come out and the truth is that there was interference in the american electorate system but by prudent sentiment you feel like this is what the american people want to see on t.v. is they want to hear about trump allegedly working with russia. not me not a my friend i think they would that something if if there is something secret about something people want to know even more so if you just bring it out in the open have there is something else come out if it's not then it's just go away and you feel like the media should be reporting on this more or less less i'd like to hear where these sources are coming from or who's saying it spares i know it could be my next door neighbor they don't have proof they need to drop it we asked people

behind the video what the rush to thing refers to. the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves and jeff and earthlings from a conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media is from first reading it the way the drudge report and the guidelines strikes again in the president of the united states just to a radio zogby ursule instagram's you know so i'm assuming your users well it's not just c.n.n. i want to make it clear if you are in the mainstream in america you know you are telling what you ordered or you are keeping stories you're keeping them a little note of the truth you're on our list. of the start of the week so the u.k.'s minority conservative government finally signed a deal with north of nine in stomach rhotic unionist party to shore up its power but the deal came at a price with prime minister trisomy having to stump up a billion pounds for the province of the next two years. we have reached an

agreement with the conservative party on support for government and parliament this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time the agreement sees the prime minister backtrack on a number of k. lection pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits the d.p.a. has agreed to support the tories on all matters of confidence including bragg's it talks on national security issues ati's an associate your car has been taking a closer look. i don't know you said he was very nice because you are 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 party military 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. experience 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 is shredded in 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 if they see it you're going to party. opposition labor leader jeremy coleman claimed the deal with not in the national interest but rather in may's own interest and he voiced concern about whether money for the agreement was coming from and the fact there was no investment for the rest of the country. after the break we'll be going live to st petersburg where football is confederations cup final is just a few hours away. we

can. get it on the old. according to josh. for the raw. data. i've negotiated with the palestinians under official and unofficial it's for hundreds and thousands of years what i have seen is that the palestinians negotiating all or nothing. kind of to you every time we reach a juncture in which there was a possibility to resolve the conflict the palestinians just walked away.

welcome back to the weekly it's the last day of the confederations cup twenty seventeen and the hour is a ticking down to the final between chile and germany neil harvey and stan collymore are in st petersburg and have been closely watching the closing stages of the tournament so that's handed over to them for our special coverage. very good evening to you what have you. got a good balance of the northern lights it's drawing today thank all the more it's alongside me so let's talk about germany chile less than two hours to go as a professional football you've been in this situation what are you doing now are you at the stadium yet you're about to get your probably on your wife already there's probably two lots of places where you just very excited as

final go and enjoy yourselves very much it's a white straight between a little bit of relaxation and a little bit of preparation and the stuff working them on the list you have me perhaps like you because you go you're twenty three year old captain drank who's going around handing out is the you know the advice the voice of experience is not quite the same as what chile how it's not but when i was in the german team hotel in sochi not in little chat with the likes of never pole screwed on the stuffing of all snow support stuff so you're talking about three or four physiotherapy she talking about several coaches all my your old to some of the goys with the fifty's and the sixty's these would have been you know right in the germany dressing room two years ago when germany were lifting the world cup these you go it will be in constant communication with the under twenty one six zero to twenty on the seventeenth and on the nineteenth to have that seamless transition so don't think for one minute that this is a group of youngsters that have been thrown into the spotlight they're all a pretty big clubs around europe they've played together through the in the right

groups and now it's their time to show you where they shine we'll find out in under two hours at the st petersburg state of all men you know nearly very close proximity to where the game will be taking place you know what's the vibe like that now imagine that must be building but also a lot of excitement. yeah i mean in. the media center for the past hour or so and even then you know the commentators the x. footballers' people journalists they're getting excited i can be of much of what the crowd outside i can hear the chants behind me here are. sixty it thought capacity so you know a lot of seats still to be filled but i can hear not a chance a few german as well so a lot of excitement in the build up to this game i've been taking the chance to speak to some of those v.i.p.'s one of them was yelena isinbayeva the two double olympic champion multiple world champion pole vaulting you know one of the legends

of athletes on there she was speaking to me about a whole raft of things but day particularly the excitement the other world cup on the confederations cup brings to a country that has never hosted it before let's take a listen to what she said earlier. first of all your thoughts on how russia has welcomed the world for the twenty seventeen confederations cup well i think everyone on the very high level and they really hold out all funds. believe will keep. till the next here and they will surprise them more for the full time parents of one of one of the things going into the tournament there were a lot of scare stories would russia be able to host the tournament of this size the press a lot of the western press are seeing russia has welcomed the world people are writing great stories about it how hot the how satisfied are you with the reaction from the press not just the farm's here well of course. actions from the press because it's

important. to war to what you know who we are and what we are doing here and when they speak in a good day about us. and of course have a one thousand three hundred so. minute service will manage to ever seen and everyone in the country and really every year look forward to provide the best. time to unship so two thousand one hundred and just do. but the legacy what what russia leaves behind here when it comes to confederations on the world cup home port we're looking at a beautiful stadium here lots of new buildings infrastructure the importance of the legacy the importance of what russia lease behind after these events well of course . they will temper ships it gives us the huge boost for development we will develop football in our country more than it was before because now we have opportunity to have such a beautiful stadium as you mentioned before of course of course we will grow up our football players throw from young so we create new football schools that didn't

have that that's we didn't have before because if you've never heard they will turn to ship for of course for development of football it's a huge. huge cheer task if i would see and now all the infrastructure serbia help us in that and. thank you from the cup to moscow to the second city here in st petersburg all three partridge went to meet the chairman from. where we are the my what we're actually right behind the corinthia hotel which is on nevsky prospect which is where the team has been staying and it seems like a million chilly fans have been behind them i had a chat to some of the fans and they were coming up to some time tested predictions for the match one optimistic chile fan so that it was going to be seven one to chile well let's have a listen to some of the animals if we can about some of their predictions i mean he could the polar bear was a bit more uncertain and sort of went to two bowls and then eventually one it up

towards germany then picked the german football and then also forgot to achilles the cats i mean he was you know there's no doubt there whatsoever he was totally in favor of germany he went into the candle whatever it is and he was going for germany but that hasn't just waited any of the chile fans here they are totally thrilled they really are predicting anything from a tight match to one narrow victory after extra time as i said to that seven one romping so let's see how it pans out. the polar bears say germany the cat saying germany you were alluding to different possible way with every vibe in your body saying jimmy we need some balance let's bring in the chilean founds we have them in the studio that was. a pretty sure he's going to. give us a song on the nowhere. to . live there. well over the road. oh well

a lot of the there. are brazil. russia germany tonight we're completely. only impartial impulsion a little bit after the chile fans all three have gone to great lengths to say i want to go for germany because i think germany will win i have to mention i was going for such a day with very public stumble on both sides any kind of bounce out absolutely you get can still absolutely i believe you can join now fabio lexicon to use a football report for the fall of the south as the brazilian publication fabio south american football traditionally very strong how good is this chile team. a low good afternoon well with chile that she luhansk came in the lot of people

here to russia twelve thousand the embassy told. they're expecting a lot of the steam they call the sting the golden generation the football team that had never won anything in the history they will do with hope american two thousand and fifteen two thousand and sixteen and they are ready to make history here. told yesterday the. if she wins today distorter meant the bestie of the world because the best things of the word are play here so there are huge respect ation in chile the people there are talking a lot so i think for the chileans who will be on a very special day if they win today here in russia and tomorrow we will be out of the party in the colony and they will be receiving like heroes in the country. probably always effects inside chinese focus on tournament in particular is perhaps because when we come back next year brazil will be here a stronger germany france have a fantastic team it's

a very and of course spying by perhaps don't believe that i could go on and win the world cup so the focus is very much on this confederations cup. yes for sure we know that choosing a word good is much more complicated not many nationals who we were championship in the history and there will be brazil germany for the food span italia. argentina if qualifies portugal to have a chance so yes that that she does know that should be a great opportunity. a title and level of international football would fall the teams like when mexico won the confederations cup in one thousand one nine. zero in a sticky stadium for three days was the biggest title of the history of mexican food bowl sold achiness they know they won't have many opportunities like these in

the world cup. and the last word could be in brazil they lost in the round of sixteen with brazil sold they know these should be the huge chance that they have like many years to true in the title so yes they'll play all they can tonight and if they win truth be great. and they have still to qualify for the world cup next year chile is not. twenty five they have some tough games in the qualifying they have a problem going with believe yeah because they lost a match and believe it was that some kind of regular player and tribunal. has yet to decide so china can lose two points so they still have to qualify. brazil hosted a world cup just three years ago you understand what it takes to do that successfully how well prepared you think russia looks at this point. well i think russia prepare i think out of russia has acquired on the hall

organizing the social winter olympic games. did that play at kew were champion cheap the swimming were genuine cheap and want to have seen so far here in discount three during the confederation cooper was very good in terms of infrastructure they spend they stadiums are wonderful they fans didn't have any problem if you don't program was in the stadium with the beach because they chanted divide maybe twenty days before the competition but overall weeds a very good experience when brazil holzer there for the ratios cup until the last moment they didn't know if they could use all the stadiums and when the word could start in brazil we still had some problem with the stadium they stayed in some hall of the walls where the opening game last play they had problems of the roof it was not treads so i think russia has done them very good job in kind of fixed true

church safety to go to the stadiums they double check you they see your cell phone they see your computer and the transportation also very good the free trains free metro for defense defend idea yet another day i will stop talking to the brazilian coach t.t. that he will be here in this game also he was seen. in cousin and yes he needed to take also he find they didn't like the a.p. person has a good beat ticket and he needs to find these saw the russians are taking very seriously the question of safety in the stadium. probably oh thank you very much for joining us it's quite reassuring that everybody gets treated equally whether you're brazilian v.o.i.p. or a mere mortal a lot of us and many thanks for being like so there are reports from for the sao paolo in brazil ok briefly before we go i want you to pick out one play can be from either to say do you think is going to be the most influential person on the page.

good at sca of germany is on three goals at the moment is on fire i'm going to pick one or two of the doll who will grab a game by the scruff of the neck in midfield two midfielders that could be tussling had. closed before this one could easily be many thanks staying with our team's coverage of the confederations cup close to kick off and see you next hour. 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 when you've mentioned one across the recent won't 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. you know. out of. our own persona. to deal. with the. girl is the. school and the people living in.
