i think. calling for good chemistry donald trump removes america's top diplomat rex tillerson saying they did not see eye to eye. with cia director mike pump aoe said to take over rex tillerson seat in the state department. who is it known for her role in the cia's torture program will take over the agency's range. moscow says it had nothing to do with the poisoning of the former double agent said to screw paul in the u.k. last week. when americans prepare for doomsday by purchasing survival equipment and underground bunkers as some continue to fear a north korean a nuclear attack. a

broadcast live director of studios in moscow this is our team trash on sean thomas glad to have you with us. now donald trump has fired u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson he is the first to fall in washington after president trump promised to shake up last week saying he was seeking perfection in his administration trump explained his decision by saying the two did not see eye to eye on a number of issues. about the role of. government. but this is really when you look at the run i think it's terrible i guess. i want to break something. else because they're pretty well trying to use twitter to announce a few new appointments this morning so secretary of tillerson secretary of state rex tillerson will be replaced by a cia director mike now tell us. and has admitted that he doesn't have

a twitter account and he has all of trump's tweets printed out for him so that's apparently how he found out he got fired and that's according to steve goldstein undersecretary for public diplomacy and tillerson has just returned from his africa tour so not exactly the best welcome home but a spokesman for tillerson said that there hasn't been any direct conversations with trump regarding the decision however rumors surrounding tillerson the departure have been floating around for months now thank you. very slowly. very. slowly. really to the very very. commenting on the new appointment trump said that he until or scene had a number of disagreements ranging from of iran deal to negotiations with north korea and the tiller said reportedly even called trump a moron a report that the former secretary of state hasn't even denied but the back and forth ended with trumped challenging tillerson to an i.q.

test and according to reports the president wasn't too pleased with tillerson body language either it was said to have slouched in a rolled his eyes during meetings with trump so now former cia director will be the nation's top diplomat trump spoke to journalists about it and he was all praise for pompei o a man he said to have had a great understanding with since the beginning. but whatever. whatever it was a good. job. i got. was like and just to remind you this all happens amid talks with north korea so i'm not sure how appointing a former cia director to the highest diplomatic position in the country will affect diplomacy with the d.p. r. k. but in the past trump has also criticized tillerson for being too establishment but what's more establishment than the cia and that's the question left on our minds but last week trump promised a morcha. havenot shake up say he thinking perfection so maybe this last move is

trump getting closer to his perfect view of the world former cia specialist of john kiriakou told us that the president wants his advisors to serve as his echo chamber including on his review of the nuclear deal with iran but i don't think donald trump ever wanted anybody around him he was going to offer contrary advice he wants to be bucked up he wants people to say yes mr president what a great idea mr president let's do it your way mr president and so slowly that's what we're seeing happening the president said a number of times that he wants to just do away with the with it revenge and pompei that supports that the president also has very strong support among the gulf monarchies against iran and certainly among the israelis and so i think that he thinks that this is the right thing to do i think it is bad news because really to be successful you need to hear all alternative viewpoints and donald trump is not

going to get alternative viewpoints he doesn't want them he doesn't listen to them and i think that's the mark of a failing presidency rex tillerson will remain in office until the end of this month and event will effectively step away from politics are to use it you got it done off has more on my pump aoe the new face of american diplomacy and a successor at the cia. hawks nesting in washington my ponytail the new diplomats in chief of the iron fist to lead america's state department has had the president under his spell for a while already the to see eye to eye on normal instead of rethink the issue that sunk to listen diplomatic career trump and pompei all share common spite towards iran and north korea both of them like to call torture enhanced interrogation and their fans of the n.s.a.'s warrantless bulk data collection where they stand on whistleblowers is one of the few things that trump and bone peo don't quite agree

on well they have to differ on something. it's time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia . i can't think of a thing that has put america in a better position as a result of this deal we're a year out from the agreement and every single action the iranians have taken has been bolder and starker than the one they took before the agreement. a very real danger. i hardly ever escape a day at the white house without the president asking me about north korea and how it is that the united states is responding to that threat it's very much at the top of his mind they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon this is the man elevated to america's top diplomat and descending with him is his former deputy gina hospital will be the first woman to lead the cia

with her boss's impending departure she worked undercover and in secret for years she clearly likes being out of the spotlight and it could be for a good reason she was one of the tortue chieftains at the cia in two thousand to ask bell ran the operations of an agency black site in thailand where. two terrorist suspects were tortured one of them was nearly killed during these so-called interrogation agents slammed his head against the wall water boarded him deprived of sleep and kept him in a coffin like box and it was a hospital reportedly who later gave the order to destroy the tapes which recorded the torment along with other evidence given trump's pledge to keep the guantanamo bay operational and he's advocating of waterboarding everything falls into place it seems now the state department and the cia will have plenty in common you know in

hansing not just interrogation techniques but a diplomatic routine to you also spoke to cia veteran ray mcgovern he says you know house bill is not exactly the best pick to head up the agency. jeana has spelled was in charge of the black sites in thailand where she not only water boarded and otherwise tortured people who were brought there and two thousand and two and around then but she destroyed the evidence she destroyed the videotapes that showed how these torture sessions including waterboarding ok were carried out in other words if you destroy evidence and if you obstruct inquiries then you can move right ahead and i remember my friend john kiriakou who is persecuted and prosecuted and served two years jail time for what for revealing torture or not for doing it he commented when cina hash bell was named deputy director he commented that this is

really really bad what will this say to the troops in the ranks it will say you can violate laws it will take care of you. moscow has said it had nothing to do with the poisoning of former russian intelligence agency script hall and his daughter in the english city of salzburg but i see you know over the russia is innocent we're waiting for the united kingdom to respond to a request that we filed in accordance with the very same convention about the necessity to provide us with the substance in question and the necessity to make the whole investigation open so was this because we're talking about a russian citizens well authorities in the u.k. are still investigating the poisoning of sergei screwball and his daughter yulia earlier this month they believe the pair were deliberately targeted with a nerve agent first produced in the soviet union traces of the substance have been detected at the restaurant where the two ate before they were taken ill and found

unconscious on a park bench nearby archies probably waco has the latest now on the escalating dispute between london and moscow. well we have a situation of a real diplomatic standoff right now where both the u.k. and russia are demanding more information about the nerve agent used in the attack in seoul that vary from each other russia's rejecting britain's ultimatum effectively while at the same time boris johnson who's gay lover of british counterpart here the foreign secretary he's reiterating the ultimatum take a listen if you want the russians to give you the courage to what's been going on and if they can come up with a convincing explanation in full disclosure needs to be given to the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons or chemical weapons watchdog in the hague we give them into big night tonight to do that if they can't then clearly the

government will come food measures a response that is a community group but last well you heard the word robust there that's been a word that's been deployed by the british government in relation to measures towards russia throughout this kind of diplomatic crisis and it has turned into a diplomatic standoff yesterday to resume a pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin when she was talking about the nerve agent used in the attack in solsbury she spoke about it being a weapons grade and from the knob family which was secretly produced in the soviet union in the one nine hundred eighty s. but in the ninety's it was information about it was leaked so technically it's a recipe that's out there and could have been used by anyone but the reason may in parliament said that it could have only have been produced in russia so this is an attack that was either sanctioned by moscow or moscow has lost control of are

prohibited and dangerous chemical weapon now practically all the politicians in the house of. in the u.k. agreed and supported to reason may's intended course of action in relation to russia take a lesson the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the to go and do the we all know the right result and we possess a considerable range of offensive cyber capabilities which we will not hesitate to deploy. if it is necessary we've all agreed that russia is a key to the present danger we have got to be fully organized to meet that danger now the home secretary amber rudd has chaired another emergency cobra committee meeting today she was getting updates on that investigation into the spy poisoning which some people might be forgiven for mistakenly thinking had stopped but that

investigation is still ongoing there's still lots to uncover there and rather the home secretary has also announced that following media allegations that the deaths of other russian dissidents of businessmen may have been suspicious she's instructed the police and m i five to assist with looking into the alleged russian state involvement in the deaths of up to fourteen more people on u.k. soil u.k.'s top counter-terror of a source says no details are being revealed about the investigation while it is ongoing. i understand there is the public interest in this case however with such a sensitive and complex and you'll understand that i cannot say anything that may impact on the whole work on the progress being made where of course getting many questions regarding how and where the nerve agent was actually administered by cold comments on that at this time despite no evidence of moscow's alleged involvement

having been provided some news outlets have been speculating about how the u.k. could respond one british paper has suggested there will be an increased nato presence on russia's border and that further sanctions could be imposed on the country and other suggest senior russian diplomats could be expelled and that u.k. politicians could boycott the upcoming fifa world cup some say that the assets of oligarchy should be frozen. we spoke to a number of analysts and they told us it is wrong to blame russia at this point as there are too many unanswered questions about the attack put possible that these these agents these weapons have spread after the collapse of the soviet union who knows who might have got hands on some of these things she did to blame russia. before all the facts are in and that's politics finally i think to stand up and face russia to face putin to be strong is very what trees and

political interests rates how we can see simple political trouble at all. the reasons that are looking to do with the poisoning nothing to do with even with russia really to put on a very strong willed performance right now the russians develop this in the one nine hundred eighty s. the old soviet union it doesn't necessarily mean that as a consequence there are people running around the globe measuring this nerve gas on our own people no i do think we need some caution here and be aware it is not just the russians that have this sort of stuff. capability they have no concrete evidence yet and i think that's very important if we have called for concrete evidence then yes something should be i acted upon but until that point i think we should be more cautious i think corben is right in saying we don't want to be ratcheting up this rhetoric meanwhile counter-terror police in the u.k.

say that they are investigating the death of a man in london is understood to be a russian exile nicholai off a friend of the late oligarchy boris berezovsky was reportedly found dead at his home in the british capital late on monday night now london's metropolitan police say counter-terror officers are looking into the case as a precaution because of associations he had claimed asylum in the u.k. in two thousand and four after serving a five year prison sentence in russia for fraud british authorities have said there is no evidence his death is connected to events in salzburg. russian defense ministry center for reconciliation says almost one hundred fifty civilians one half of them children have been able to leave syria's rebel held on klav eastern guta. says that they have left. the humanitarian corridor and were sent to temporary accommodation evacuation comes as part of a deal struck by the center and rebel leaders in the insurgent held region as part

of the agreement some of the fighters there will also be able to leave if they guarantee safe passage to civilians. which is close to damascus came under rebel control back in two thousand and twelve since then government forces have been trying to recapture the area fighting intensified there last month and in recent days the syrian government has regained a large portion of the territory essentially driving the militants into just three pockets but the situation for civilians trapped in the embattled areas remains dire people have been caught in the crossfire and are suffering shortages of food and supplies. meanwhile america's envoy to the united nations security council has said that washington is prepared to act unilaterally and intervene in the conflict against the syrian government we also warn any nation that is determined to impose its will through chemical attacks and end human suffering most especially the outlaw syrian regime the united states remains prepared to act if we must in the

past sixteen days there have been three separate allegations of chlorine gas attacks this is no ceasefire this is the assad regime iran and russia continuing to wage war against their political opponents for a constant in your mind but we understand that the goal of this decision from asian campaign is to manipulate public opinion and convince people the syrian government is using chemical weapons but we have reasonable concerns that there are preparations to stage fake chemical attacks in order to later accuse the government and according to our data on the fifth of march the only terrorists used chlorine in eastern goods that injuring thirty people. up to sixty people have been detained by russia's ministry of internal affairs in the region of moscow they are suspected of forging documents and illegally smuggling eisel supporters to syria and iraq

those arrested are also suspected of helping illegal migrants to russia from central asia the website of the russian internal affairs ministry has published a video of the operation and the video shows detentions and searches as well as a large number of seized documents such as passports seals border stamps bank cards and migration certificates money was also seized as well and there are both men and women among the detainees one of them claims that he is working legally in a restaurant and another one admits that she works as a career and transports documents materials been earning money for a year by selling migration certificates. there may currently be a thaw in her way in relations between north korea and the united states but the american public is likely to take a little bit more time in convincing a survey held last month showed that a whopping eighty two percent of the u.s. public sees north korea as a critical threat to america pyongyang has also served to the top of washington's

greatest enemies list and that has many americans preparing for the worst case scenario and one retail giant in the united states has been selling a survival kit that can keep a family of four sustained for a whole year and it costs about six thousand dollars but if you're planning on sitting out any nuclear apocalypse on your own there is a cheaper one thousand dollar option to keep one person well fed if not just a bit lonely and people are not just stocking up on food there are other items as well other retailers are selling potassium iodine pills which help ward off the effects of radiation demand for the medicine has increased to a point where many outlets have actually run out of medicine and while fears of a nuclear devastation continue to rise and doomsday preppers are also securing their own underground bunkers.

this project will accommodate somewhere between six and ten thousand people when it's completed it's a city that's going to be the largest survival community on the planet. is concerned everybody has got level feelings and they're all feeling something is about to happen. so hard for people that are. currently there with this. presidential election is just days away and here on our t.v.

we are profiling not only the candidates who are after the kremlin's top job but also meeting the voters who will make that decision we've traveled nationwide to meet russians from all walks of life and now we meet medical workers to hear what they are seeking for their country's future.

michelle cottle before you could walk down the length even as i had thought for. a little girl. you've seen the. place we were on a global political price it's the sky is gone with the smog city building the bible the talk show radio for gaza that will give us more to get sober discolored question the bush really going to circle to the lord. which given that i continue it should be open to. the most. rights of those all but the push the will to use a. club with abortion by nugent. solution is to get all of our border yet our borders do you see what they buy you need saying it's going to go over most just like it is not the cool question because supposed to be a i give up or just system bust their young more think signatures on. the dream

look wonderful chill sort of person for the principles that are mostly a voice nobody trusts them all and look good on your sandwiches or would beat you at gunpoint threshold misspoke when this pollute one of those that haven't had one willing to work on a given naming as a good news is they are just for peace so for more we still get down in the morning given the option to have to learn the shifts and. then nothing but that there must have been a simple bush has more to numb you from the buzz of warnings of course and it's void easier all in the us which english. never should move us to see of course i know we do have to produce good but you also knew the pollution noise just for your usual relief given a fresh start you could step on for a full stop. from fourteen cities notable to find yourself the word of god but i'm different from the cheetah were. slaughtered at our border with us for the which.

just goes to an easy enemy easterlies things that seem to know if the police would never what's worse we did nothing pretty much the us is over the lot for some of the same days you better believe you see a movie but for certain the presents are. anyway so those are some of the voters but what about the candidates trying to win them over today we need to shock well known in russia for her t.v. work and political journalism she says if she stands for change but is accused of already being too close to the kremlin in charge she denies it recently ms so jank went head to head with archie's oksana boyko here is some of that interview which you can watch in full on r.t. dot com. i want to show people of russia that there is another point of view this is the goal of my complaint i know you can't win on the elections where only putin always

wins in himself on many occasions that russia needs more competition both political but he never gives it well i agree i know all the facts yourselves little eleanor here for eighteen years i'm just a little blonde girl you know coming from what we want and how to balance with me. said the president should be you know one fields expert. and the only good way for us is along the way i know that many people want to fast change but change only happens as a revolution i am against. i want to educate people i want to bring them truth and i want together all their problems to make them federal it's the same old russian paternalism waiting for the officials

to fix the problem don't you think that you are essentially playing the very same kremlin tactic no i'm not i am the change people want to see was polling day approaches we will introduce you to more of the candidates and the voters who will cast their ballots and make sure without international on election day itself for our special coverage of the vote the results of the reaction. but doesn't for me i'll be back in about thirty three minutes with your headlines stay with us this is our chief international. the far right to in britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent muggers action i know what you need to hit clean you know you and i see these organizations

which are usually split into which we feel we should take different names how do you view that look. at. the complex web which are fashionable. what politicians do sometimes we don't. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to try to be for us that's what we're hopeful tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and how. this should.

greetings and salutations as many of you know there was yet another twist in the ongoing political soap opera here in washington d.c. is us president donald trump future endeavored secretary of state rex tillerson on wednesday trump quickly tapped the current cia director my pump able to replace tillerson and elevated the very first female cia director and gino what cia torture videotapes haskel apparently against waterboarding illegally held terrorism suspects shatters those glass ceilings just as quickly as working harder better and smarter than the man next to you. cia girl power at its finest but for now the but

for the now jobless rex tillerson the future should be bright for the multimillionaire big oil man unless of course america's lead poisoning crisis gets him first or the rest of us for that matter yes while the political theater continues on in washington d.c. the rest of the country is in a slow silent deadly crisis the independent reports that a new study funded by the artemis fund and simon fraser university in british columbia suggests that as many as four hundred twelve thousand americans die prematurely every year mostly from cardiovascular disease due to two historic exposure to low levels of the toxic metal that is ten times ten times more deaths than experts previously thought and the first time low level lead poisoning is been linked as a significant risk factor for heart disease as professor bruce bruce lanphier of simon fraser university in the study's lead author bluntly.
