oh you. mean. videos claiming to show a chemical attack conducted by the syrian government are dismissed by russia as. donald trump a taxi and then again posting a mock wrestling video showing came taking down the channel. two thousand and seventeen confederations called germany warning one goal to nil over your goal will bring you the chances are all drawn to the few minutes. hello there thank you for joining us on the key erin you're watching the weekly

here on r.t. international all the latest headlines on the stories that shaped the week the russian foreign ministry has slammed videos alleged to show the off the mouth of a chemical attack in syria the ministry spokeswoman said they all 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 videos purporting to show victims of a chemical attack by the syrian military flooded social media on saturday that was off to the white house accused the syrian government of preparing to use chemical weapons syrian journalist a law it were him says the accusation makes no sense to survey the commanding officer on you should just take and 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 talk to stage chemical attacks to stop them 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 transmitting the tommy 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 when washington was asked to back up its allegations 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 assad russia 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 oh me now they crushing islamic states liberating vul swathes of syria and belts of the blue comes this. the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the saddam regime i'm said knows the pro book 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 plastic super villain both stupid and evil beyond any logic the kind a villain but 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 the 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 hitting the united states has attacked and said point it's time for what they say is silly bandz. problem is just the following the prolonged conflict isn't easy western voters don't want another gung ho i mean campaign they learned their lesson all for 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. yellow bird director of

the trans national foundation for peace and futurists says the western media campaign to david lies assad is verging on farcical mainstream media the large media that are influencing the western this is making process and just citizens opinion about is you take the case for instance of the totally black picture painted of rumors or allows 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 not only good analysis is correct he's all good in the background these days in international politics. u.s. president donald trump has taken another swipe at the media this time almost literally posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c n n o l. i am

i was i chummed 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 name to fruits news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house but i'm president and they're not i was the fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far. c.n.n. have responded with that one tweet accusing the president of encouraging violence and juvenile behavior particle analyst charles a little believes the channel that brought the situation opponent. in the case of

c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what happened in the election after the election they have severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership let's remember this is the network admittedly they later fired kathy griffin for holding up a mock severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break i would say that c.n.n. has a lot better things to do than they than they did for example a couple years ago wasting all our time on the missing malaysian flight and then in the last number of months here going on and on and on about this suppose a russian collusion hacking story which i i hope at this point has been dealt with

i mean see it's kind of rich for c.n.n. to call the pot calling the kettle black here. c.n.n. has been on the defensive quite a lot this week several undercover videos were posted online allegedly exposing attitudes of the channel towards its russian related stories they want to see them constantly in. russia because from. this regime's this freedom i reserve the right but also you know. it's just like. it's most of the you know we don't have. giant. proof what would you think's going to happen this week to be it's all russia. that's going to be really. well you just saw was a c.n.n. producer and one of their political commentators is the last of van jones responded to be undercover videos saying his words had been taken out of context and that he

did not think there was nothing to claims that team trump colluded with russia and tried to cover it up or both videos were released by the investigative journalism group project veritas that found 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 i guess that's all i hear about it it's just getting a little tiring we're all exhausted however however it has to be it has to be that the truth has to come out and the truth is that that there was interference in the american electorate system but by putin the 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 you know if it if there is something

secret about something people want to know even more so if you just bring it out in the open if 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 also the people behind the undercover video what the russia thing. we do the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves and yeah earthling from the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media from first reading it what the way the drug war ends we had a line of strikes again in the president of the united states just to a radio zogby earth will instagram you know so i'm assuming your theories are well it's not just c.n.n. i want to make this very clear if you were in the mainstream media in america you

know you are telling lies you are getting people you are keeping stories you're keeping the little or none of them through you're on our list. china has sent to military vessels and planes to warn off an american warship that beijing claims the vessel violated its territorial waters in the south china sea. under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again since a military vessel into china's territorial waters is this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side the u.s. guided missile destroyer came within twelve nautical miles of triton island its part of the disputed parasail island which china considers to be its territory as comes at a time of heightened tensions between washington and beijing washington recently announced plans to sell arms worth one point four billion dollars to taiwan the

move in fuel related china and write down say of a president trumps efforts to improve relations with beijing jim dana editor of veterans today told the dispute in the south china sea is unlikely to die down this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be a with us for years it really doesn't have all the united states because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got a billion people a huge energy. appetite which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and of course the u.s.

y'all sure thank you see you again next year for the study for world call. well the start of the week so the u.k.'s minority conservative government finally signed a deal with northern ireland democratic unionist party to shore up its power but the deal came at a price with prime minister to resign 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 a government in 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 key election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits but do

you pay has agreed to support the tories on the old much as a confidence including breaks it talks and national security issues and this is to check and it has been taking a closer look. i was writing something 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 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 hit 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 party military groups in northern ireland not a perfect ally but 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 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 the 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 if they sutured party fund it. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn claimed the deal was not in the national interest but rather in may's

own interest and he 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 the deal with analysts. that managed to get this group the little coalition together but the do you pretty hold tenancy 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 toba i think sure find it very very difficult to hold this government together because don't forget she's got to be pleased to see you three see she's also got a. divided party on the conservative party a strong remarkably divided over the major issue at the moment which is breaks it out of the even more so it might make her 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 do you play they have a working majority of thirteen of course i 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 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 it's going to make it more difficult for the to balance the books which they're having problems with anyway in terms of trying to reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level. next the moth to an israeli peace negotiator welds a pod discussing the country's strategy in the middle east stay tuned for. senators financial survival guide i don't buy any i pod on a future. almost of the friday that's the last time i buy it from the future trucker watch kaiser. global blog still with you on the idea that

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 one thing and this is treating the war wounded who ever needed assistance or lifesaving got it from israel well mr show you you mentioned a phrase subsided their arrangement and if you look at the latest events in syria the americans took don the syrian jet a few days ago the rain ians have just fired ballastic misspells at some isis targets in syria it looks like things are really heating up or rather of them answering is of what you called subsided there arrangement do you take that as a sort of calculated bargaining various players trying to secure a better negotiating.
