thank. god i am. russia's defense ministry claims extremist groups in syria are planning to frame chemical attacks to give the us a pretext to strike the assad government. that says rebel control of the syrian area of eastern crumbles window before he eight thousand civilians please treat humanitarian corridors. and moscow expels twenty three british diplomats nearing the step taken by the u.k. in response to the kremlin's alleged poisoning of former spy service with pal and his daughter. this is r.t.

international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. russia's defense ministry says rebel groups in syria have been armed with chemical weapons and are preparing to write attacks as a pretext for the u.s. to carry out airstrikes against bashar al assad's government what i guess the of as the details representatives of the russian armed forces have said they have intonation and reason to believe that the united states it's as times they use 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 when used twenty tons of norene israel is dead today it is disguised as disguised as 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 is the excuse by the united states and its allies to strike at bush al assad his government did his military directly then they provoke after those near 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 such 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 lover 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 they are accompanied by the british french and special forces from other countries it's not a proxy war anymore historical provide rather

a direct involvement in the war it is a slow we condemn their illegal presence on syria's terrorists. 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 she vanished syrian operation on the way three car doors of aides of god into guta as well and they say the u.n. the u.n. representatives on the ground in the scooter praised the russian and syrian effort in relieving the situation there providing food and at the age of fifty millions in need they also say that armed groups in east gud as well as islam is to express their desire to leave to leave east due to have it live for other locations once their sponsors give the green light. we've requested comment from the u.s.

military on the russian general staff claims and are still waiting for a response at the briefing russia's military chiefs described the civilian evacuation from a sinking to as an operation unique in its scale over forty eight thousand people have managed to flee so far in the biggest single exodus since fighting escalated there last month russia's defense minister says the first to make it to safety were children women and the injured they were given basic supplies when they reached the government controlled side of the corridor is how they described life and then millicent will. say anything. about the militants who are living with us next to how this inside them they would open and rolled in months 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 cost. 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. inside africa i had that in my case the aid was given only to certain groups was out 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 to meet with a client try to terrorists our children are dying from hunger. our father got lost

while we were now away here we don't know where she is we were shot at we don't know which way to go. in even cassadaga tea to bread that we have to buy girl is gonna see without milk for several days for right. well the u.n. special envoy to syria has welcomed a brief ceasefire in the city of duma in eastern goza stuff on the us there were also renewed calls for an end to the hostilities across the country well that was echoed by un humanitarian coordinator. operating well with the russians center for three 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 who are leaving. in desperate conditions and they are housed in different shelters in and 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 a lot of teams are working around the clock with them together with. the syrian out of the cross and i.c.r.c. and of course we are cooperating with the government my formula for that is suspension of hostilities over to do much to continue. over the east to contribute ability to send convoys and medical assistance into east. and people are allowed to leave. without any obstacles and the same applies to our freedom by the way because we have the same situation in freedom with civilians living on the duress and under threat of all of the military and that is totally unacceptable. releasing those who were seized by rebels in late twenty twelve and since twenty thirty nine it's been under siege as the syrian army tries to recapture it the

assad government has succeeded in regaining control of most of the region and driving the militants into three small pockets but despite the advances meds from the red cross says many civilians are still living in conditions there was a great and one point. we entered to get there with lessons and the un bringing food for twenty six thousand people in the main town of duma or prison mr malvo was with that convoy and he spoke to the people he found exhaustion and the spirit of families would actually start sobbing after a few sentences people hiding in basements wealthier of the fighting three families whom would skate years with with law yes people hungry but what we need is indeed to be able to go get it as possible which we don't call it quits but those remains that yes that would up at the same time as of today together with this you and i

got to get we have emergency aid to the people who have fled quite now. two camps close to damascus regime the ground is catastrophic when you have large numbers of people being all it does seem like your help you need days and days what things to fall into place but certainly everybody now and so it's good if you believe that we did. russia is to expel twenty three british diplomats as relations between the two countries continue to worsen it comes in response to a similar move by the u.k. following the kremlin's alleged poisoning of former spy service cripple and his daughter in salzburg artie's new terror to picks up the story we all thought tensions could not get much worse between russia and the u.k. but how wrong were we to be so hopeful the controversial story that's dominated the end. national 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 held 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 can see for us of the opportunity to explain all the material . we asked russia where that material but it will keep you up mostly for. what he's neither here for the old stuff and still moscow today has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of thursday and yulia scribble 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 not a child is concerned the russian federation i stress that the russian federation has never had a research program under such a code name versus 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 the scientists which developed various aspects in the sphere left russia by chance western countries waited for them and they took technological expertise with them after their 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 unforgivable so as the world watches and endlessly debate who's to blame what we really want to know is how bad this diplomatic spat

will get in a day or two day r.t. . or rather trap is a former member of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons he says it should be possible to identify where the substance used in salzburg is produced it's to different questions whether it's an obvious shock 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. put in the public for for several years more than a decade and of course those of arteries that work become a good offense on camera which actually looked at these chemicals but i've also tried to make. them 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 the technical level you know people actually understand the science. and the underlying technologies doesn't help with a discussion of these issues so i do

a lot that there's going to be a way. these things can be brought into a context that could people can actually talk people from russia as well as from from the u.k. and maybe other countries to discuss the technical findings and detours in some detail to clarify what can actually be agreed upon scientifically what is not what is not known or what was speculation not assumptions since the u.k. blames the kremlin for the poisoning london's allies have also backed the claim and that the police investigation is still ongoing britain's politicians have been quick to take action as r.t. jaclyn they're going to report. issue threats impose sanctions and cancel your plans to attend the world cup now there's no time to explain the stuff memes are made of literally concrete proof a full in transparent investigation no time for that the european council isn't hanging around double tusk is calling everyone in to discuss what nobody is certain about to put this issue in the u.s. in 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 strike is in solidarity and supports the united kingdom and the u.k. defense secretary isn't overly keen on hearing out the defense frankly. should go away 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 friends no time at all to change its mind on action and their family 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 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 there are a stray and journalist and filmmaker john pilger has said that west's campaign against russia as a major is meant to excuse their own actions this is a carefully constructed drama it's part of the propaganda campaign that is building building now for several years in order to justify the actions of nato britain the united states towards russia this is extraordinary you so you have an attempted murder. you have a crime scene and you have no evidence but you but you have not and neither do you have a motive why on earth would russia only even alexa and only staging the the world the well football cup want to destroy if you like it's international lame

with with such a crime it makes sense but there's plenty of motive on the outside this is a top of a carefully constructed drama in which the media plays a role but government plays a role. well the foreign ministers of sweden and the czech republic have firmly rejected russian claims they possess no of agents like no when chuck was following the developments in the story we'll bring you more news as we get it. highly likely that russia was responsible. after the break we'll have a special coverage of russia's presidential election. 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 single

post i made free money you got to 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 of the past why not just let the free market be the free market. american five full human rights abuses notion the example of yemen used to do so genocide they were gone then just look who is some porting who american them british and the number of all the european countries they are very generously lend their support to the our grocer so what kind of human blood is in which to live a million children a woman does not tell. that
