russia's ministry says it believes that extremist groups in syria. give the u.s. . government. control of syria's. stricken region. twenty three british diplomats. taken by the u.k. in response to the alleged poisoning by the former spy daughter. behavior. because of pressure from.

forced to move away from the. backlash from neighbors and relatives. thanks for joining us live. today great to have you with us on the program russia's defense ministry. groups with chemical weapons in syria they say they're preparing to stage false flag attacks as a pretext for the u.s. to carry out airstrikes against bashar assad's government. has the latest. representatives of the russian armed forces have said they have intimation and reason to believe that the united states it its as they see in syria has been preparing squads of rebels fighters to stage a chemical provocation

a chemical weapons attack in the south of syria in doubt which borders jordan and israel they've been provided allegedly as many as twenty tons of nori this one is dead today it is disguised as disguise this cigarette packs and this attack is imminent the feds officials have said that this attack will be blamed on the syrian government and will be used this excuse by the united states and its allies to strike could push al assad his government had his military directly let me put a look at the provocations mentioned will be used as a pretext the united states and its allies to conduct airstrikes against military and state infrastructure in syria we're seeing that search strikes are being prepared by warships in the mediterranean the red sea and in the persian gulf at the same time speaking in past a nice segue

a lever of the russian foreign minister said that the syrian conflict is beginning to look less like a proxy war than a direct confrontation on the hornets. there are u.s. special forces on the ground they are no longer denying this but they are accompanied by the british french and special forces from other countries it's not a proxy war anymore but rather a direct involvement in the war we condemn their illegal presence on syria's territory the u.s. led coalition is not legitimate from the u.n. point of view either we are pragmatic people and we understand that we should not engage in armed conflict with them representatives of the russian armed forces also talked about the. situation in east ghouta they say there's a huge operation humanitarian operation underway three called the words of aid have gone into guta as well and they say the u.n. the u.n.

representatives on the ground in east praised the russian in syria an effort in relieving the situation there providing food and other aid for civilians in need they also say that armed groups in east ghouta as well as easily missive express their desire to leave to leave east. for other locations once their sponsors give the green light. now we have requested comment from the u.s. military on the claims made by the chief of the russian general staff will of course let you know the response if we do hear back well at the briefing russia's military chief described this civilian evacuation from eastern as an operation unique in its scale over forty eight thousand as we said earlier have managed to flee the region so far none was rising quickly in what's been labeled the single biggest exodus since fighting escalated there last month russia's defense ministry

says the first to make it to safety with children women and the ill and injured they were given basic surprise when they reached the government controlled side of the code or here's how they described life under militant rule. i. think. that the militants who are living with us next to our hardison inside them they would open our old amongst the houses to be able to move they would not leave and we did not dare to say get out. while you know they fired a dance they didn't want us to escape at all they fired at the cars well so that we couldn't leave. we had no food or water there are ten of us and we could not buy a kilo of 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.

thanks to south africa i had that in my eyes the aid was given only to certain groups most of the medical aid was sold it was from humanitarian agencies and the un and was distributed didn't do so under the supervision of our government but the militants were selling it thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you we were glad to terrorists our children are dying from hunger. our father got lost while we were on our way here we don't know where he is we were shot at we don't know which way to go even even cast down to eat a bread that we have to get this guy this is our meals for several days. the u.n. special envoy to the country has welcomed a brief cease fire in the city of duma in eastern guta stuff on the us there are

also renewed calls for an end to the hostilities across syria that was echoed by early i was r thirty the organization's main humanitarian coordinator on the ground in the region. we are cooperating well with the russians center for the conciliation to organize humanitarian convoys and also to assist people who are leaving east duma so we're looking at more than twenty thousand civilians were living. in desperate conditions and they are housed in different shelters. around damascus so they need everything they need blankets they need mattresses they need food they need medications they need protection they need to feel comfortable being made to feel secure our teams are working around the clock with them together with. the syrian out of class and i.c.r.c. and of course we are cooperating with the government my formula for that is

secession of hostilities over do much to continue. over east to control ability to send convoys and medical assistance into east. and people are allowed to leave without any obstacles and the same applies to freedom by the way because we have the same situation in freedom with civilians living under duress and under threat of of the military and that is totally unacceptable. was seized by rebels in late two thousand and twelve and since twenty thirteen has been under siege as the syrian army tries to recapture the area and the assad government has now succeeded in driving the militants into three small pockets you can see them up here behind me they regain control of a lot of the region despite the advances though many civilians there are still living in dire conditions. from the red cross told us more about their plight and what i'd workers are doing to alleviate the crisis. and there was

a and then can't. we entered together with this you can act as an un bringing food for twenty six thousand people in the main town of doom out of prison mr malvo lives with that one boy and he spoke to the people there he found exhaustion and the spirit of thirty years would actually start starving after a few sentences people hiding in basements for fear of the fighting three families for whom which gave years with with lies people hungry but what we need is indeed to be able to go back as soon as possible which we don't call the police but those people may not say distance i deceived them as of today to get there we did see an advocate present we are bringing emergency aid to the people who have fled quite now. to camps close to damascus duration on the ground is catastrophic when you have large numbers of people being all at

a scene like back need of help you need days and days with things to fall into place but certainly everybody is now willing and so it's that if you believe that we. are set to expel twenty three british diplomats relations between the two countries continue to plunge to new lows this comes in response to an identical move by the u.k. followed that followed the kremlin's alleged poisoning of a former spy and his daughter in the south of england that they were to fix up a story. we all thought tensions could not get much worse between russia and the u.k. but how wrong we are to be so hopeful for the controversial story that's dominated the international media headlines with endless discussions and debates has of course been the point being the father and daughter the scribbles for measures have already been taken by london expelling twenty three russian diplomats from the country and now russia has retaliated the u.k. ambassador was summoned to the foreign ministry in moscow and the results of that

conversation are as follows twenty three british diplomats same number as russian diplomats being surveilled from the u.k. have just one week to leave russia in addition moscow has revoked permission for britain to operate a consulate general in st petersburg moscow has also stated that the government could take further action if britain takes any more unfriendly moves towards russia here's how the u.k. ambassador reacted we could do for us with the opportunity to explain all the material. we offer russia where that material but that it will keep the receipt for. what he's noise. and the old stuff and still moscow today has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of soviet and yulia scribal and russia's representative to the chemical weapons watchdog explains how russia has never run another top program that's the nerve gas allegedly used in the poisoning since the collapse of the soviet union. russia has no connection to what happened in

salzburg as far as novacek is concerned the russian federation i stress that the russian federation has never had a research program under such a code name russia spokesperson for the foreign ministry however side of the states had the opportunity to develop similar nerve agents following the breakdown of the soviet union was a scientist which developed various aspects in the sphere left russia by chance western countries waited for them and they took technological expertise with. them after this soviet scientists continue do work in some western countries alongside the u.s. the u.k. slovakia sweden and other states all of these can be seen openly in sources now moscow says that it has made many attempts to cooperate with the u.k. investigators they requested a sample of the nerve agent that was apparently refused moscow says that they made numerous attempts to help with the investigation those requests were also refused and as a consequence russia has just launched its own investigation into the case of yulia

script polish she is a russian citizen exactly how when and if they will be able to proceed is still unclear as they will have to have some element of cooperation from the british authorities to complete an investigation so diplomacy really is at an all time low with threats and accusations flying from each camp the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson even went as far as accusing president putin himself of ordering the murder of so basically powell stating it is overwhelmingly likely that putin was behind the poisoning and moscow responded saying that those comments were shocking and forgivable so as the world watches and endlessly debate who's to blame what we really want to know is how barack this diplomatic spat will get an idea or tutor r.t. . or what comments earlier from truck before was secretary on the o.p.c. w. scientific advisory board with full cooperation and proper dialogue it should be

possible to identify where exactly the substance used in the incidents was produced . that's two different questions whether or not the truck agent or not yes and then the question is where did that come from now that it's a forensic question that can only be answered by bringing a range of factors together some of the chemical structures have been. in the public for for several years more than a decade and of course those of arteries that work in chemical defense and can we were to actually look at these chemicals have also tried to make them to analyze some to be able to detect them in the environment. just from the fact that you find a certain chemical you can only draw so many conclusions the lack of communication at the technical level between those people who actually understand the science and the underlying technologies doesn't help with a discussion of this if you so i do all that it's going to be a way whereby these things can be brought into a context that people can actually talk to people from russia as well as from from

the u.k. and maybe other countries and discuss the technical findings and details in some detail to clarify what can actually be agreed upon scientifically what is known as not known what the speculation of assumptions. are since the u.k. blame to the kremlin for the incident london's allies have thrown their weight behind the claim as well or the police investigation into the poisoning is still ongoing politicians have been quick to take action as jacqueline who got reports. issue threats impose sanctions and cancel your plans to attend the world cup now there's no time to explain the stuff names 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 on the auction 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. and

solidarity 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 initially skeptical and calling it too soon to blame the kremlin paresis the to agree on and impose new sanctions on russia. if you don't. there's anybody so the plan is solidarity with the u.k. which apparently includes deliberately aborting 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 of the foreign ministers of sweden the czech republic firmly rejected russian claims that they possess a lot of shock like agents were closely following the ongoing developments we'll of course keep you fully posted. because. highly likely that russia was responsible. now after the break we've got the story of a couple in afghanistan who have named their child donald trump stay with us for more on that.

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. 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 experiments of the past why not just let the free market be the free market.

when i'm off to do it on for someone to look at from the touchable console console for just sold on the do it in this little bottle. of water to see the f.b.i. at. another space filled with someone you've seen the movie twenty one your family your boys to fulfill with the name of such and so you your father which you have to do through this sort of research in the computer of a collection of. political knowing produces nothing new for people but for those around you know floated across the world for me out for jewish for. the king of good. companions and in my so good i will because it is a new message and you will move the. book months to the minimum. you would do would . you do you try to put in those situations not in the usual way to could you know

that i would have to know this good you do you question me just the words. your desire for them. because if you choose to move them but in you might choose to . just so it was supposed to put him through so many hopes so many aspirations as this huge country goes to the polls from eight o'clock in the morning let's just take a look over our shoulder at the iconic red square we've got a superset of four year our team are going to be bringing that best coverage when those polls close of course which will be nine o'clock in the evening moscow time we got full coverage coming up it's got a splendid view of coming in to see the tower there and same basil's as looked on so the centuries of virtue into this place and we're looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow r.t. will bring you the very best coverage throughout the day stay with us.

i. know now the name donald trump probably isn't what you would expect to find someone called in afghanistan of all places that's exactly though what one couple decided to call their child as a sign of respect to president trump's policy and now face the backlash from both family and the community. i'm. sure they are the. last of the last one but before my son was born i was reading about donald trump's background and he's policy i thought his policies the best and this made me call my son of.

theirs i want to model for when i name my son donald trump the behavior of all my family and my parents because of pressure i left my village for a couple of my close friends also distanced those of us from the us they asked why did you name your son donald trump wasn't there any other name. but him or her horse honest and we are very happy to name our child after the best politician and i hope he will become a politician like donald trump as well i gave my son this name to make him lucky and i hope to see him as smart in mindful as doing and i will never change and i'm . moving on now to spain where protesters across the country have been out in force this saturday demanding better pensions one of the biggest marches you can see here

took place in catalonia around thirty thousand there according to some estimates made their way through the streets of basra lona they're criticizing spain's ruling party for insufficient pension rises many have complained their low point two five percent increase last year isn't in line with the rate of inflation in the country . was for myself and the team here at r.t. that set for this hour back at midnight moscow time with more global headlines stay tuned here on the international. i was. thinking. that i thought

i. know of. this. is a. church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church will conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that so that as the end then i think you'll hear that it used.

to spend three. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report piece. so you see i thought this episode was about quantum theory oh ok it's all about quantum theory . of. well you know everybody is always mentioning the fact that what happens when we have quantum computers and then big queens destroyed and one theory actually i saw was that somebody suggested that will know that quantum computers exist if not the most are the real one the real suppose if his

bitcoin ever moved the million bitcoin that he mind that's an excellent point it would be a safeguard it would be a signpost it would be an indication that quantum computer it hacked into the because of protocol in a significant way what about all quantum computers are here are we in danger is it all happening is unraveling it's tweet i saw from stacey her birth and three. crypto is already quantum whoever looks at it observes whatever they want to see and this is in response to all of these regulators in the u.s. you know we have more regulators in the united states that we have intelligence agencies and they all want in on bitcoin and cryptocurrency they're determining what it is so here's a succinct tweet from mines fiction and he says crypto is considered property by the i.r.s. money by the treasury department commodities by the c f.t.c.

and securities by the f.c.c. in before c.d.c. declares crypto a pandemic. isn't this fascinating they can't really decide what it is you know all these regulatory agencies are looking. it they see it in a as a reflection of themselves in some way there is a case to be made that it does resemble to some degree a commodity i've said that since two thousand and eleven it is a but it is an emerging asset class that is none of the above somebody made the comment that it's like a duck billed platypus right it's got features from all these things and one thing and you would think it would work but it does work so it's not really any of those things it is a unique asset class we haven't seen anything new in the world of finance magic classes and hundreds of years really this is the first thing we've seen new in such a long time and.
