all of the diplomatic stuff of the embassy and of course it will definitely make the beauty of the embassy quite difficult but this is the new reality is all these people have to leave by the twenty first of march they go to only one week. and this is life and the embassy will function as usual but of course in the reduced stuff what did you make of comments we heard u.k. defense secretary gavin williamson speaking and he used quite unusual i would say language for diplomacy where he talked about russia needing to go away and as he put it shut up what do you think this is conducive to the situation or is this kind of how things will be from now on was difficult to see but i have some reservations about the political culture and the way whole discussion is going on and of course the way how the minister of defense is putting. he's views. will quite.

surprising for us but this is the new reality a new political culture in the united kingdom but we hear this kind of statements you know all the time in the parliament from the british officials for the russian easier it's for the europe we need to promote in the world. shocking but when you leave you're in london you know for for a while you know you can get used to this when you first learned of this story because it this is only going on for just over a week now and it seems to have snowballed so much and events unravel so quickly when you first heard of you know the story with the double agent and his daughter did you expect this to this or this come to this kind of breaking point that situation when it was said that there's a connection to russia did you first see that it would come to this kind of crescendo once we got information the. a mission from the media about that accident

with the poisoning of two russian citizens. we needed to request it the foreign office to give us details. what happened you know with the investigation stands you know what are the reports of the police. but almost you know less than twelve hours we heard the statement. foreign secretary boris johnson. who said that this is who we need russia for everything what's happened in seoul's bery and for us that that's you know this really you know surprise me because you know the investigation is just that it and the members of the the government is blaming the other states it's quite a serious it's a blame without any evidence and i was really surprised then i had a meeting with the with the boris johnson and i was summoned to the foreign office

and. so i got the i mean my country got the will to mount them. and this is first and the second of course we were blamed that everything put happened there this is and this is the responsibility of russia so the argument was very simple you know twenty four hours and we have to answer basically two questions the first question is we have to confirm or deny that and the that the substance and this boris johnson put it this is the under the british because if occasion this is a two three four so basically this is based on their calculations this is the name of that substance because we don't have any access to this substance that's why we have to trust the police because of the over the british so boris johnson said we have to either confirm or deny that this somehow we mismanaged this. one of

substance the stockpiles and the second one but it was the question of whether with if if the first answer will be in the negative the the second question is we have to acknowledge that this is the russian aggression you know this is the russian would do that. next day we gave an official we send the official note and there were two points there the first one of course we're not ready to discuss all these things in a way of the ultimate them and of course you know russia is not the country which is. ready to talk this way this is first second we pointed out to the british counterparts that. if they have any questions or let's say any information they have to do you in accordance with the international law russia and the u.k. the other members of the organization will provision of the chemical weapons and

the right under article nine they are going to represent us in case you have any suspicions you have to apply to this organization officially and. ask for the consultations with the specific countries we will you have this kind of suspicions and then you have to get the answer within the ten days only be earlier and if you are not satisfied with the answer then you have a special procedures where the organization itself will be switched to this process so the instead of that the british decided just to talk to us you know in the way of the ultimate hymns. and so this is the way this is the way how they are behaving but that you know just to clarify for those who don't know both britain and russia are part of that. and i say sure that's right so this

would be normal protocol under the these circumstances that there's an official request filed in ten days or given this right so this is the official procedure and we all like all the members of that are musicians i subscribe from that but since we're blamed the. under the british question occasionally agent a two three four. is the russian region we asked the british officially by a note to share the sample so that in order to make our own conclusions and we would night so that give give us additional suspicions about the reason given as to why don't they said just know we're not going to give you anything and boris johnson has said that they are going to send a sample to the opi c.w. but not from russia that was later that was later so basically of course we're welcome to. say to send this to the organization but still i

just spoke to our ambassador to this organization and he said so far there we didn't get any formal request from the british side it means that i don't know how they're going to act but for the time being no official procedure was launched and this is another this is very suspicious behavior of the bridges site so all the investigation about the screwball is classified we don't have any information we don't have any access nobody saw even the pictures of that people in the hospital whether they alive or maybe the just in the good health. so nobody talked to the doctors you know there is absolutely no transparency in this case and this is worries us but by the way under the international law and the vienna convention we have to get the access to these people because they're russian citizens and we are also being tonight so basically britain doesn't respect the

international law and the way how they're behaving. is just. puts a lot of questions. no not one tough. enough lose off let down by my lips no it's not the definition. i'm back. with you king of new south. and. take in the equal say the south just. to get the gun and then you get ready for it. now is that time. young movie it's midnight cowboy did you know that beach. south. to the list just dealing with one mean a leftist i know the deep but let me show this them tokio find it he's going to

keep going to. his work was because did it because he didn't seem quite a cultural critic for the grammys. when you don't see jd he was sued the gallic tried to get a court to do. what to me not true only ted spent to. make. love to no kill said. some man claiming to know terminated especially that. alex you speak french.

is all. the same yes please remove the sandel faculty new employees morning sun is busy the bell tolled still active. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently and all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times where. it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in that it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet felt but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets

a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. you need the good and the bad you need capitalism to work both winners and losers they can't bail out every single bank that gets into trouble they can't bail out every single post i made free money to go let the system weed out the losers otherwise you end up with you know a state controlled state maintained price fixing regime by a state that resembles all failed such experiments in the past why not just let the free market be the free market. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last

wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for the economic so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one different speech now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. and made them five fold human rights abuses motion gave the example of young men

who sued to serve a genocide who were there going gone then just look who is some porting who come on british i mean number walkerville you're hoping come truce they are a very generous new lend their support to their aggressor so what kind of human go to serve in which to live a million children a woman those motown. five . what did you make of some of the media coverage of this story because obviously the anti russian moods if you can put it that way have been prevalent for quite some time so when this story happened were you surprised to see the way it unraveled given the the investigation is still going on and the police have not made any official statements in terms of pointing fingers quite yet the launch was made by after the speech of boris johnson that was the next day so immediately

under the command you know of the foreign secretary we've got all this media reports without any evidence if you read the british newspapers you will see that there are no evidence this is this is first. the beginning of this. we heard two things going interesting the first one there were calls that. the license of the r.t. should be revoked. and the second one that the world there were promises in the parliament to launch the cyber attack against russia. so basically there was a strong reaction from the russians about the presence of the earth in the u.k. but what is interesting with fischer they requested the explanations about the plans of the britain to launch this cyber attack is this a real server attack against the country it's the act of war. and

first of all we didn't get the official answer to this note and some how to do is a good that let's say that topic disappeared from the british newspapers and from any statements from the in the parliament so basically i think that the british so i decided that was too much so two things are tea and the cyberattack disappears from the disappeared from the british media. so this is this is the answer to your question what do you make of some of the terminology being used in quoting theresa may boris john. sentries used the words highly likely that got a lot of traction he today said when asked how certain he is that russia is behind this on a scale from one to ten he said nine point nine nine hundred eight yet he's also said there's overwhelming evidence that points at russia do you think given the gravity of the accusations and the consequences that are clearly already following

in the story. there should just be more certainty provided i'll tell you this is that this is quite a trick because when you don't have evidence when the when you don't have any proofs you have to use the word likely probably maybe because the british provide any information the provide access to the investigation that's why in order to see something for sure you have to present the evidence and begin to do this but then why would they go so far with these kinds of measures that are being put in place i think this is the if you look back to the policy of the u.k. you will find that britain in new circumstances is trying to find new police in the let's say you win in the western society because they're leaving you and everything what is left you know i'm not talking about the united nations but the key arena in this is needed and britain is trying to find the police and this police the found

on so-called until russian campaign and the way how they want to deter russia that's why we have seen a year ago the new concept of national security where russia was named as the major in you mean to britain then there was a banquet speech where we basically got the confirmation that we're the the enemy and the reason one more reason for. diverting the attention of the british public is is this. briggs because. the situation is new with a negotiation is not so easy in this country and britain is. definitely. has has to find the solutions with the european union and for the time being i don't see any results from the from the negotiations and they have in order to divert the attention from the bridge that they have to see to present something to

the public that could move to it and there's a great possibility to launch this into russian complain and to russian attack and so this is this is this is this is in the area which was written in london but . but from my point to you this is a very short side it's in the area because in the long run. britain have to explain what is behind all these things and souls very i think they have to explain what they're doing in this secret chemical laboratory which is eight miles from from the from the source very. where were the investigated the substance based on their information on the samples based on the certain standards the have and this i think this would be the question that

they have to clear it for i. in the organization for proliferation of the chemical weapons because everything what is being said today. looks for us very suspicious just to go back. for a little bit to the relationship between russia and the u.k. now where where does it go from here because we've seen in recent months specially what some of the accusations flying around people have been asking is this kind of a new cold war today. williamson was asked about this and he said he didn't use the term cold war but he said extremely extremely chilly. where does the relationship go from here and where would russia like it to go from here this week and then moving forward and what would it take to. for this kind of gridlock to move somewhere well if you look at the concert of the russian foreign policy and the

rethink what we did all these years the major task for us is the create favorable conditions for the development of my country so this is the way how we're putting all the relations with all the other countries by the way if you look at the world you'll find maybe something like with the hundred twenty countries we don't have a visa regime so we want to have different relations so that was the goal. of course of our policy with the u.k. and that was the job of any ambassador including me and so all these years despite the difficulties that we have with britain we tried to find the opportunities for the political dialogue and we created the right form it's you know like the minister and the minister of defense for months you know there was active participation in the political life during the olympic games here so we tried to promote the economic relations and you know business in business is zero ally here

because you know the simply don't understand what's happening you know with the government but they have limited influence and so culture science you know everybody is interested and. probably the political let's see so-called deep state. so they're putting the policy that we're witnessing so basically there will be there will be approach will be very simple we. first will we want to. clearly for all the questions. behind this kind of provocation this is exactly what we see this is first and then we'll see what are the other possibilities because we have to influence britain britain is the perm member of the security council and we're interested to hear our views and want we

want to influence on the british policy and in order to do have this influence you have to have the mechanisms that's why that's why that's why our policy will be. quite honest we have strategic patience but we will never talk to us in the such a language as you just heard from the minister of defense this is not the language so we're right we know what we're doing as there is and we said and the time will come when the people of britain the will understand that they have. maybe they have another government who will who will when other people who will have a better policy towards russia but that's where the relations we are always open for any constructive cooperation because as i said our task is to create as

favorable conditions for my country to develop and of this country because we're busy with our own economy so we're not going to put anybody as the enemy or something it's not our policy but we have strategic patience britain is facing quite a serious steps on our side. to them and on two directions the first one of course we'll will demand to answer although notes in official requests so we're talking about the. good samples of that. two three four under the british. this is the poison as they put it this is we have to give the excess to the to this family of scruple but we will ask the axis and so consular access to the. to the in other gentleman who died here he's

a russian citizen mr. and the circumstances are very suspicious. so we will get all the answers from the british side in the organization for the proliferation of the chemical weapons we will get access to be all the investigation that they're doing. and of course i'm quite sure that. we'll get all the results it's not just a one day story it's not a media story but in the end of the day we clear with why the whole situation with the policy of britain so that's why we're confident and that's why we know that we are right and we believe this is the right direction or work with the british but it should be done in a legal way not just through the media and of course i think that will i hope. that will put the british to the table. not the

negotiations with these the conversation because for the time being you know the escaping of doing this. the firing of rex tillerson at the state department surprised few killers and was often described just bland and on numerous occasions out of step with his boss donald trump the nomination of my mom pail to replace him is any plan. combination of ashish and pings very artful policy towards russia where he's established that great relationship with food and they cannot elementary kids mistakes i think in dealing with russia and live this relationship between russia and china to become a quite quite a lot can be quite thick and would be quite difficult to undermine.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be press. to go to the press this is like the fourth tree in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the house. just sit. no not ones that. somehow flew off not someone might have snakes on the definitions and i'm back in the. one seeking that he needs. to. take in the equal sitting. ducks to give them an onion to bring the only thing i've.

done movies right now i think the way. to the not beach. south is our. next guest feeling if one means i love just not enough the deep but i learn to focus them tokio find it is going to happen keep going to move. along. the way. it is with both because did it because he didn't seem quite a cultural critic. of the trends. you need the good and the bad you need capitalism to work both winners and losers you can't bail out every single bank that gets into trouble you can't bail out every. free money you gotta let the system weed out the losers otherwise you end up

with you know a state controlled state maintained price fixing regime by the state that resembles all failed such experiments in the past why not just let the free market be the free market. well you know the cars they have adopted because we were called pirates for so long . i've been there in the small boat next to the harper one hundred and it's scary. stuff. the little self to big fish already ninety percent of the dots need to fall because their. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons or not they do it several times a day with big fleas so no you get an idea on why.

we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with them this will be used for years or. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. she immediately. we get to have a little. russia
