issue talking to some recent graduates and in my mind i'm thinking that's kind of cool you know i can actually talk to some people that went to the school you know see what they say about the school so young female and young male came in and for all i know it could have been the recruiters working with this recruiter. he came and they both came in and said that you know they found a job before they ever graduated the school placed them and that they're doing really well and they're not struggling paying their student loan baton life is just so much better now they have so many opportunities they can jump job a job they want a lot of these student advisers at these schools used to use on students to get them into an education. but in this in document from a for profit college if i can find that shows all the people that were. going after welfare moms with kids relocation recent high school graduates career

3:21 pm
the welcome the latest developments and look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to your weekly here on r.t. international. now traces of the nerve agent used to poison a former russian spy and his daughter have reportedly been found in a restaurant in the british city of souls break the pair had been eating their two hours before being found unconscious on a park bench the pizzeria is now one of five sites cordoned off by police as part of their ongoing investigation. as more details. week ago two people were found collapsed on an unremarkable bench near a quiet shopping center in salisbury the area was sealed off and a major incident was declared at the hospital where the pair were being treated for exposure to an unknown substance but no one really took much notice of the man and the woman until about twenty four hours later when breaking news reports began to
3:22 pm
flood the airways that the sixty six year old man was in fact service cripple a former russian spy. group that in the soviet forces he quickly moved to russia's foreign military intelligence agency. on a mission to the mediterranean region in ninety five he was recruited by calling himself antonio elder is that you don't go a british intelligence tons rooming have luminol. exposed at least three hundred russian spies to the u.k. he handed over the g. or use entire phone directory doing in this to mobile damage to moscow five years on colonel screwball retired from the jail you on health grounds but continued moving crucial information to britain's m i six they couldn't him forthwith and bought him a timeshare holiday home in spain sells coast the double agent was convicted in

twenty six of treason getting a thirteen years since in the top security russian jail but just four years later he was freed in a high profile spy swap between moscow and washington scruple moved to the british town of see where his recruits a publisher miller allegedly lives the explorer then enjoyed a fairly low profile till now the first speculations appear with immediate parallels drawn to another former russian agent poisoned in london twelve years ago with a public inquiry later lying the blame squarely at the kremlin feet was history repeating itself and it didn't stop there every wild theory was given its day in the. son was it north korea was it russia's revenge for treason after all these years was putin being framed is it linked to the trump russia collusion investigation we need to make sure that we respond not to rumor but all the evidence that they collect this investigation is that the stages and and the speculations and helpful at this time
3:24 pm
if we are to be rigorous in this investigation we must avoid speculation people not to speculate such warnings did nothing to quell the fires however as police reveal that screwball and his daughter were deliberately targeted with a nerve agent news reports charge for theorizing that the attack came from the very top in moscow bad things have been known to happen to russians who cross of lot of near putin the fact that a nerve agent was use strengthens the likelihood that this was a state sponsor of some sort and russia is the chief suspect of course that doesn't look like an act of provocation by putin here has been making increasingly bold and brazen in the west the british foreign secretary boris johnson joined the chorus as well yes to more sanctions on russia and no to the upcoming football world cup that is if the kremlin is indeed involved you must be very capital we say because it is too early to prejudge the investigation but if the suspicions on both sides of the house prove to be fired then it may very well be mr speaker that we are forced to
3:25 pm
look again at our regime our sanctions regime and other measures that we seek to put in place russia hit back at johnson's comments calling them wild and aimed at damaging relations between the two countries and while the investigation continues and concrete details are few and far between the public court looks to have already solved the crime and i talk of this nature that any time especially this time on the part of the russian government would constitute a monumental act of political self harm resulting in severe and significant reputational damage across the world obviously the shadows of the resonance in so. only people's minds are going to be from the alexander litvinenko case because that dominated the british had lions for so long and it seems at least superficially that there are parallels here let's face it in intelligence terms he was a busted flush he had been caught in russia he's been convicted to being sent to
3:26 pm
prison he's been pardoned and allowed to go free so you know the russian authorities will have picked him clean of any intelligence he had which would be useful to them and to since he got to the u k m i six would have done the same thing so you know in terms of his old intelligence role it's really nothing more to add to it so in terms of what he might be involved in now i think that's where the most patients going to be found and that's what the intelligence agencies and the police are going to be investigating intensively at the moment. now the news more than fifty civilians have been able to leave syria's eastern ghouta vajra humanitarian corridor or it is the first evacuation from the terrorist controlled enclave following talks between militants and russian officers however nearly four hundred thousand people are still trapped in the district. court amid constant fighting between the syrian army and local militants who are trying to defend their last bastion near damascus.

3:29 pm
a daily basis preventing them from leaving the enclave literature spoke to a syrian mother superior working at a refugee camp for those fleeing eastern. there is a will in the rebel side. to keep the civilian under their custody and may be to use them as a human shield go into from a lot of out from a lot to the camp is very dangerous. people are shelled and they are sniped and we have witnessed this our team or was there in contact with families inside wanting to go out i'm imagining that those trapped within the city. are completely helpless and we can't imagine the kind of living conditions as well because of lack of supplies those people they want to leave
