yes. russia summons the british ambassador in moscow to reveal its response over the expulsion of russian diplomats from the u.k. following the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter. also coming up. the militant control district of. the united nations welcomes a ceasefire that's mileage to hold in a city there for a week. couple who named. trump get backlash from relatives and neighbors say they've been forced from their home.

international news center in moscow this is our team my names you know neil welcome to the program our top story russia's foreign ministry has summoned the british ambassador to annoyance it's retaliatory measures over the poisoning of a former spy britain expelled twenty three russian diplomats make uses more school of being behind the attack on surrogate script. it's not yet clear exactly what measures russia that people. are requested some poles of the nerve agent used to have been said to have been used against the per but did not get any response from britain and also said it was willing to help with the investigation and in no answer moscow has now launched its own criminal case into the attempted murder of a script who's a russian citizen even though the british investigation into the poisoning is still

ongoing u.k. officials are already turning their words into action. reports. issue threats impose sanctions and cancel your plans to attend the world cup now there's no time to explain the stuff means are made of literally concrete proof full in transparent investigation no time for that the european council isn't hanging around double tough is calling everyone in to discuss what nobody is certain about to put this issue in the other than those next. charging forward on the most likely inspired by moscow front no time to be sure even australia is backing teresa mayes compelling case against russia innocent until it gets interesting the strategy is solid and supports the united kingdom and the u.k. defense secretary isn't overly keen on hearing out the defense frankly. should go should churchill just after that gavin williamson announced forty eight million pounds will be invested in a new chemical weapons defense center why because russia of course the defense

secretary is also going to deliver with anthrax vaccines for troops what does that have to do with the script all poisoning no time to explain and it took france no time at all to change its mind on action and italy skeptical and calling it too soon to blame the kremlin paris is set to agree on and impose new sanctions on russia we have firmly condemned the attack which russia conducted on british so the plan is solidarity with the u.k. which apparently includes deliberately avoiding a russian stand at the paris book fair what we're seeing is a whole lot of act first and ask later and frankly we should take more time to find the answers well it does look as if things are building on friday the british foreign secretary to seeing it was overwhelmingly likely about the poisoning was directed by president putin himself the kremlin described the comment quote give a bull behavior for a diplomat russia's envoy to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the u.k.'s refusal to work together with moscow is suspicious.

gloria i mean is could did a good model based on statements by the head of the british delegation they regard our proposal on bilateral consultations as an attempt to progress to date and they urged everybody not to listen to these lies as they say they say russia's intention is to avoid being held accountable but i see it differently and my guess is actually our british friends and partners are just afraid they are afraid that our experts may analyze those samples and they may see some dirty tricks there or something but our british partners don't want this to happen or if they don't produce any evidence we will regard that as they have nothing to show and they will be held accountable for slander. it'll go it's going to put we offered other options if they don't want to talk to us directly we can go through the executive council we can set up

a group of technical experts led by the director general and if they are not happy with that they can call a special session but the british are not happy with any of these options they can call a meeting of the highest body of the o.p.c. w. and we can address the issue there so they have a number of different options for sure they will not be able to tell where the substance came from this will require dialogue between russia and the u.k. direct or indirect there are many ways to go about it through all of them. so yes when the soviet union collapsed in the early ninety's intelligence services took from russia a group of specialists and their documents including veiled mirrors are young of and they continued their work with soviet knowledge and we even know in which countries the work continued some of this work was successful and we can find the results openly on nato and e.u. websites with humans where we are closely following the ongoing developments in the

on falling diplomatic standoff and we'll keep you posted when more details emerge. highly likely that russia was responsible. ok i want to turn attention to syria now where civilians are continuing to flee the militant held region of east ghouta through russia sponsored humanitarian cardboards live pictures no you are seeing indeed in a little box in the corner of your screen as well these are pictures from one of the to escape route it is still morning in syria just after ten am but we can see crowds of people crossing into the government controlled area this is another angle this is actually from a drone showing the people crossing in from the escape route the car door of the humanitarian region into damascus we know that over the

past number of days seventeen thousand people to flee. more expected to leave over the course of saturday what you're seeing is the biggest single exodus since fighting escalated at last month the first to make it the safety and you're seeing here quite a lot as well women children on the injured at that's according to the russian defense ministry they were given basic supplies when they reached the government controlled side of the card or let's get the thoughts of what some of these people are actually saying this is hardly the scribed life under the militants of where they are now fleeing from. was. that the militants who are living with us next to a harness and inside them they would open and hold in months the houses to be able to move they would not leave and we did not dare to say get out.

you know they fired at us they didn't want us to escape at all they fired at the cars will so that we couldn't leave. because we had now food or water there are ten of us and we could not buy a king our flour we were starving we wanted to escape but they wouldn't let us be flat against their will so they fired at us and half of the people were shot look at our children their feet hungry and without clothes but the militants showed no mercy. thank you. thank you thank you. i don't remember the last time i ate we didn't have food in our village the militants took everything that the humanitarian convoys delivered. meanwhile the u.n.

special envoy to the country has welcomed a brief cease fire in one of eastern cities stuff demister all through new calls for a nationwide cessation of hostilities pro that meetings have been taking place since i think the general reaping between the russian federation and jay shift in the last few days on the out of the result of these engagement came your project. begin the government russian military n.j. shift forward to have continued largely hold for that they know let's hope that for the fifth by a halt because they're being oak leaves. one who knew a mole very. well just sum up what we know about what's happening eastern puto was seized by rebels in late twenty twelve un since twenty thirty nine has been under siege with the syrian army trying to recapture the area the assad government has

not succeeded in driving the militants into three small pockets regaining control of much of the region the spike the conses many civilians there are still living in dire conditions political analyst and author phyllis bennis believes that the hardening situation goes far beyond the enclaves borders. there is no place for them to go the country of syria has been decimated by these seven years of war and people have been moved from one place to another looking for safety and not finding it those who have been driven out of the country are finding the gates of other countries closed against them most notably of course the united states which has prohibited refugees coming from syria all together in the context of the so-called muslim bans that donald trump has imposed but even the countries close are the countries right in the region who are already taking care of hundreds of thousands in some cases more than a million refugees in lebanon for instance is

a very small country one out of every four people in that country is now a syrian refugee in jordan where there's over a million refugees but there's simply not enough water available so the humanitarian crisis is is massive on a regional level certainly within syria is the most serious then on the regional level and on a global level the syrian refugees are facing a devastating future. this time tomorrow russians will be casting their votes in the presidential election their choice will decide who gets the kremlin's top job for the next six years. saturday though is a day of election silence in which campaigning is stopped news coverage of the company or their mother is not allowed so until the polls close on sunday evening we won't be able to tell you much about those volley for the russian presidency but

what we can tell you which of the people will be deciding russia's future so it's made some. it was somebody in the world for me but some of the few of us could deploy additional technology. by seems to stop us of most of the google groups before us because the people to protect the couple to get in there steal you have sure was

ruthless up a possible show mr leno perspective as each of the books just thought i seized your start up for a scene of. governments and when we stepped off the video you could look ridiculous because i'm a traitor to court and a little over six. of the list that only is displaying that will go to we could meet. up for them all to do one for someone in the government took a look at some of the torture boom come so calm so folks who could have sold the lutenist little bottle of. the water from a significant. enough food filled with the lungs to double dipping when you're sick when you try and when you board is too full to move within months of chimps so if you flood there was a little boost to. the switch from the cookies to the collection a couple should. be able to put into kemal in terms of food was enough principle stuff for the those who know their will to talk cross the wool for

me out socialist for something else and i suppose it's lovely to the bit of. the company was the name i was so good about because it was a human system you will move those who took months to the minimum. who would put a new. put in the suit interested in the usual who took another will to take mother's good to do you. would need just the words. to the. your visit for them. because those because the pictures. put in you might to choose to. post. and just a reminder we have got special coverage across the election live from red square it starts later today and continues right through monday as we bring you the results

as they happen and get reaction every hour. and. the name donald trump probably isn't one you would expect to find someone called enough but that's exactly what one couple decided to call their child hoping it might bring some good fortune unfortunately they gamble didn't pay off the family are facing backlash and have even been driven from their home. earlier it was. the last of the last phone but before my son was born i was reading about donald trump's bag round and he's policy i thought his policies the best and this made me call my son after. that. that i wanted more more from when i named my son donald trump the behavior of all my family my parents

because of pressure i left my village for a couple of my close friends who also distanced the response from the us they asked why did you name your son donald trump wasn't there any other name. but him or her to hold on us and we are very happy to name our child after the best politician and i hope he will become a politician like donald trump i gave my son this name to make him lucky and i hope to see him as smart and mindful as doing and i will never change. the. all the overall picture is somewhat bleaker the u.s. campaign against al qaeda on the taliban in afghanistan has been ongoing for the past sixteen years it started under george w. bush as part of the so-called war on terror the latest un report on the country is

a sobering one document saying over ten thousand civilian casualties last year alone speaking in the afghan capital and choose day the u.s. defense secretary said america is no longer seeking a military solution. well we're. good people are ready to go again but equal record. military victory the victory will be with the rug. the taliban will pay a price a military action is also designed to clear the way for sustained comprehensive and relentless operations to drive them out and bring them to justice the truth is this is not really about actually recognizing. the senselessness of this whole what is actually about from the point of view of the us is trying to recruit the taliban as a proxy spoiler for the growing regional integration involving china pakistan and

afghanistan and stabilisation that's going on the afghan government since the mid two thousand has been getting closer and closer to china economically and since the end of last year militarily as well the objectives always been to keep afghanistan destabilized weak and basically in the pocket of the us and dependent on the us for security and so on and waging the war was one means of doing that and now there's this chinese pakistani peace initiative that's threatening the war seriously aiming at bringing stability to the country. one of america's biggest corporate scandals in years drugged in some big names including the defense secretary will tell you why to bring. 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 apples that needs 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. human drugs use a notion. of yemen. genocide to have gone just look who is so poor doing who american them british and the number of. countries they are very generous to them to support. what kind of human rights is. to live a million children a woman does not count. twenty

minutes past eleven am this saturday morning here in moscow you're very welcome back let's start again stateside where an american multi-billion dollar health current company linked to the us defense secretary is employed in a mussar fraud scandal now the firm call for ramos promised to make blood test cheaper faster but it's no excuse that the fraud and investors to the tune of seven hundred million dollars by making false claims up. and its products contracts on earnings to us was founded in two thousand and four by elizabeth holmes when she was just nineteen after she developed a drugs potch to administer doses based on blood type the firm then moved into diagnosis claiming a simple blood test could be used to detect all manner of conditions except that didn't work but the rapid rise up to run less attracted big names to the board. has

been looking into. secretary of defense james mattis has more than america's would be enemies to worry about he's caught up in a lobbying scandal for faulty blood testing machines elizabeth home c.e.o. of tech company there are a noce nk was charged with fraud by the security exchange commission and forced to pay five hundred thousand dollars for lying to investors through our nose had promised cheap and fast blood testing using a new app and we'd like to see a world in which every person gets access to this type of basic testing and the types of tests that are done are ones that provide insight into the onset of disease in time to do something about it but it was all a scam instead of using cutting edge technology it used old sam some equipment and even lowered its prices to appeal to investors and that wasn't the only way holmes brought in clients she also had some political clout secretary of defense james

madison sat on the board of directors and unwittingly turned out to be instrumental in negotiating with the department of defense in two thousand and fifteen wall street journal first revealed the issues however mattis wasn't convinced serranos had demonstrated a commitment to investing in developing technologies that could make a difference in people's lives including for the severely wounded and ill i had quickly seen tremendous potential of the technologies the runnels develops and i have the greatest respect for the company's mission and integrity when a military regulatory expert had some questions about it maddux wrote this in an email. i have tried to get this device tested in theater asap legally and ethically this appears to be relatively straightforward yet where a year into this and not yet deployed when it all turned out to be a sham holmes got into legal trouble but matt is still sits comfortably as the secretary of defense samir khan r.t. washington d.c.

. hard work never harmed anyone so goes the saying but that's not the case for one french baker he's been following three thousand euro for refusing to take a day off. in . my first year i worked in july and august seven days per week with special permission the second year the bakers union prohibited me from continuing but i decided to work seven days anyway in july and august because my customers and the tourists asked me to i didn't think this would be such a big deal i got a letter from the administration saying i owed them three thousand euros which is not

a small fine for me. in. the tourist area it seems to sun so that the business can open every day during the summer there's nothing worse than closed shops when there are tourists. in. our towns getting more touristic and it's annoying that people who arrive here for petition can get fresh bread whenever they want i don't understand why we don't have the right to have a bakery that works every day and i think that a fine of three thousand euros is too big that's why i launched the petition and the majority of people signed immediately. what i think about this story is the people who just want to work at being punished but they're only doing it for other people. there are a lot of people here and some and so there are a lot of small businesses as well i want to help them. it's stupid that we can't do what we want in our own stores it seems like in france

when you're willing to work you are shamed when you're doing a job that you love i don't see why it should be a problem to work five six or seven days. a man with a. for baking a live from r t h q in moscow thanks for choosing us for your news update this hour more great program start in just a moment. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our
