the opportunity to provide an explanation but their response has demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events. they have provided no credible explanation that they could suggest they don't control but then earth agent no explanation as to how this agent came to be used in the united kingdom no explanation as to why russia has an undeclared chemical weapons program in contravention of international law. the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn had to ask the british prime minister whether or not any official requests were sent to russia whether any evidence was provided to russia or any facts and that the response was a bit unsubstantial as the prime minister taking the necessary steps under the chemical weapons convention to make a formal request for evidence from the russian government how has she responded to the russian government's request for asylum full of the agent used in the souls

return to run its own tests has a high resolution trace analysis been run on a sample of the nerve agent and has that revealed any evidence as to the location of its production all the identity of its perpetrators we gays the russian government the opportunity through the day march that my right on befriend the foreign secretary delivered to the russian ambassador here in london earlier this week to do just that they have not done so there is a consensus across the butt benches of this house yeah i am only sorry that the consensus does not go as far as the right honorable gentleman. could do could have taken the opportunity as the u.k. government has done to condemn the culpability of the russian. russian embassy here in london has said that the steps taken. by the british

government are unjustified unacceptable and shortsighted also saying that the did deterioration of ties between russian and the u.k. lies on the british government and that ultimatums don't work with russia everything what if. we. have a ph. we believe that the you know i do keep the full big international none of them under this obligation to hear. the weapons they have to present the worst to the organisation and hip it to consider this within a few days this is the international law and of course we're not ready to. to talk you know we ultimately the actions taken by the british government became really a crescendo of over

a week of the spy saga in raveling where we saw what could have been a potential local incident unravel into a huge international diplomatic standoff. the white house has reacted to britain's the punitive measures saying it supports the decisions to expel the russian diplomats moscow says it regards the move as unjustified and aimed at destabilizing relations said it completing its investigation using established international formats and instruments including those in the framework of the a.p.c. doubly which we were expecting the british government chose confrontation with russia is so fierce that by opening for unilateral and nontransparent methods of investigating this incident the british authorities have once again tried to unleash an indiscriminate and the russian campaign take a look back at how this all developed in the first place. on sunday march fourth a couple of found slumped on a bench and so was pre reporters arrive at the scene for what was thought to be a local incident but soon after

a global media frenzy unravels exposure to an unknown substance and so comparisons to the two thousand and six death of alexander litvinenko march sixth the u.k.'s counter-terrorism police take control of the investigation the case foreign secretary boris johnson has this to say while it would be wrong to prejudge the investigation i can reassure the house that should evidence emerged that implies state responsibility then your majesty's government will respond appropriately and robustly russia says it has no information and offers to help in any way it can downing street remains cautious in finger pointing it being too early to explain what actually unraveled but that approach will soon make a swift exit british prime minister to resign may is expected to provide clarity the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against. the script how this highly likely comes with

a pre-determined conclusion and the deadline set for russia to explain itself is wednesday all the while here's the u.k. police of course getting many questions regarding. this actually it was i can't comment on that this is. not declaring a person of interest or a suspect that was in a court of law this would at least mean a time outs in the world of political game play apparently it means very little. u.s. president has opted for a major shake up on capitol hill the new face of american diplomacy will be the incumbent cia director mike palm pale with whom donald trump says he has good chemistry a very good relationship whatever. whatever was. said was. well he is now set to take the reins at the

state department with pump ayers position at the cia to be filled by gina how spoiled this is if they both get confirmed she is a veteran intelligence agent who controversially played a role in the organization's torture program it is done off now takes a closer look at the nominations and their implications 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 stover thing the issue that sunk to listen diplomatic korea trump and pompei all share common spite towards iran and north korea both of them like to call torture enhanced interrogation and they are fans of the n.s.a.'s warrantless bulk data collection where the stand on whistleblowers is one of the few things that trump and don't pay or 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 ones they took before the agreement. a very real danger. by 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 and two aspell 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 the 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 my pump air will take over from the current secretary of state rex tillerson at the end of this month reports that donald trump had been considering sacking his top diplomat had been circulating for months due to their numerous disagreements over government policy to the oceans removal was announced on twitter by the president and the abrupt move has got others on the social network sharing similar stories of rejection and led them to come up with a new word.

if i hit now you're flying. a right wing canadian activist has been detained in france and banned from entering britain lauren a southern was held at a british border point and callaway the u.k.

home office told her that she was being banned for distributing racist material in the town of luton last year one of the posters said is a gay going to two year old as a threat to u.k. public policy southern and says that she was integrity interrogated in the french airport under the u.k.'s terrorism act. i got a knock on the door from the kent u.k. police who handed me this form and that's where things kind of went sideways it's the schedule seven terrorism act and they said you need to read this you are being brought in to be questioned under the terrorism act well other right wing activists have been barred from britain for similar reasons austria's martin and american commentator brittany pettibone no were this month detained for three days before being deported soner had been scheduled to speak at a free speech conference in london's hyde park we were banned last weekend from

entering the u.k. for various reason for me because i wanted to give a speech about freedom of speech on speakers corner. and for me i am an american conservative commentator and i simply wanted to enter the u.k. of course i was going to watch martin speech but i was primarily going in to do some interviews i wanted to interview tommy robinson who is outspoken against islam and they essentially labeled him a far right leader who incites racial hatred and that's why they didn't want me to enter to interview him so huge crackdown of censorship but not only you know them banning us but also on the internet right now as we're seeing on platforms like you tube and twitter the bands have caused the anger in some quarters supporters are saying that while right wing activists are being banned radical islamic preachers have been allowed to speak freely and no new terrorist suspects are allowed to enter into britain. the bit ridiculous if you look at us that both of us are as i called i'm acceptable characters for you if the polls are threats to the accord

again please of the local communities why the same the very same country lets radical muslim extremists just freely enter the country they have all this muslim grooming gangs but still we are the main threat and we are kept out of the country i think is just ridiculous. donald trump has announced he wants to create a space for years saying that space is a war fighting domain and during a speech at the marine corps air station in san diego on tuesday he explained his new outer space strategy and he's an intercept the as that story. the army navy and air forces aren't enough in the battle for world dominance it's time for new developments and donald trump isn't short of ideas space is a war fighting domain name just like the land air and sea we may even have a space force develop another one space force the air force one of the space force

we have the army the navy trans comments have captured the imagination of twisties as with many wondering whether help become the guardian of the galaxy or will he be training an army of power rangers all stormtroopers ready to file a says any extraterrestrial threats and even some of the president's general seem to be a list same page or planet. there is no war in space just as there is no war in cyberspace there is only war and war can extend into any demain not a new idea it's been proposed many times in the past and it's always been rejected but it is something that people have been promoting again recently and i think that would be a very negative move actually because it would create a constituency whose natural interest than it is is to further the weaponization of space and create a greater danger of actual war in space but not all the way both the us defense and

as full secretaries have labeled the space plan as unnecessary wear a cross and costly and the house in fact spin a space command's for if they see is is part of the us as force and carries out intelligence operations and make sure space isn't militarized then there's also the nine hundred sixty seven out to space treaty no small obstacle to any american ambitions to put weapons in orbit it was created to stop the setup of military bases and out of space and address other costs make concessions well they're the us has previously blocked or abstained from the un effets to regulate space weapons.
