and living good right now by the humanitarian character you can see behind me the passage had been recently opened by syrian forces it's allowing crowds of civilians many of them are children to leave them battle area. terrorists use people as human shields they wouldn't let us fully they hid behind our backs. our father got lost while we were on our way here we don't know where he is we were shot at but are now which way to go.

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 even cats don't eat the bread that we have to my girl has gone several days without milk already. for him at best for her condition. there is a dire need. they are destined. to exhaust the hungry. they need immediate humanitarian assistance. for the fire holes because there's been a police one good news i'm all very bad. meanwhile the militants are preparing to stage chemical attacks on their country to give

america a pretext to attack the gulf but that's according to russia's defense ministry details here with our teams but i guess the. representatives of the russian armed forces have said they have intonation and reason to believe that the united states it's as times based 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 israel news twenty tons of nori this one is dead today does defense officials have said that this is a tad will be blamed on the syrian government and will be used as the excuse by the united states and its allies to strike at bush al assad to his government did his military directly i mean. the provocations mentioned will be used as

a pretext to stop 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. there are u.s. special forces on the ground they are no longer knowing 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 will slow 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 systems and we understand that we should not engage in armed conflict with them chemical weapons and their alleged

use by president assad have dominated the u.n. security council meeting this week even though the talks were supposed to focus on relief efforts. and. u.s. envoy even went so far as to issue threats. and we also warn any nation that is determined to impose its will through chemical attacks and end human suffering most especially the outlaw syrian regime the united states remains prepared to act if we must in the past sixteen days there have been three separate allegations of chlorine gas attacks across that when you might we understand that the goal of this does information campaign is to manipulate public opinion and convince people the syrian government is using chemical weapons already there are reasonable concerns that there are preparations to stage freak chemical attacks in order to later said government and according to our data on the fifth of march through terrorists used cleary in eastern gutenberg's injuring thirty people a u.s.

envoy strangely enough pushed the security council to demand a thirty day cease fire anything hutto which is exactly where government forces are currently battling terrorists nikki haley then army to accusations against syria's government have. this is no ceasefire this is the assad regime iran and russia continuing to wage war against their political opponents. close to him a promise to count how many times the u.s. envoy would mention russia during his statement i counted twenty two russians rush rush rush rush rush rush in russian russian russia russia russian russian russians and russian russian russian the russian russian are russian russia and the russian is going for political purposes only and not out of any concerns was that really elsewhere in syria the turkish president has just announced that the free syrian

army backed by ankara has taken control of the center of the strategic northern city of our friend let's cross live now to what is paula who is standing by for more details now paulo the situation in africa what can you or bring us up to speed on please. what i can report that the turkish military and its allied forces have taken over the northern syrian city of ass and they are in control there now the free syrian army in the turkish military entered before dawn from the reports we receiving they did not encounter any kind of resistance from the commission's fighters fighters who have been holed up there and carrying out an intensive battle for the past two months or so from eight thirty this morning sunday local time the turkish military is in control of the city of afrin now we've also heard from the turkish defense minister who has tweeted calling his army a hero and saying that it will guarantee peace and security for both turkey and the

region the turkish president has also confirmed his army's military successes in a televised address he said that all measures would be taken to protect the civilians of afrin what we are hearing though from reports on the ground is when the free syrian army and the turkish military entered afrin there they would meet with. these improvised explosive devices which they had to deal with first now one of those dates back to january the twentieth when the turkish government decided to launch a cross border offensive to in its words dislodge kurdish terrorists threaten but the very people that the see is terrorists off people that the united states has been helping your syrian kurds and this has increased tensions between washington and and we're still in the situation that those tensions with nice declamation ship remain. or at all to use up policy of our correspondent in tel aviv thank you

more news to come here on the weekly this is the international with back interest. you should. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. achieve right to be with you what. three of them will be. interested always in the water. there. the diplomatic route between russia and the u.k. over the poisoning of a form a double agent has been escalating all week on saturday moscow announced it would expel twenty three british diplomats in response to a similar move by the u.k. so because chris powell and his daughter were poisoned two weeks ago in the southern u.k. town of salzburg. looks back at how the entire scandal has developed so far. in a span of less than a week u.k. russia relations have been pushed to the point of an all out diplomatic war with no

one looking ready to back down the screwball poisoning has created this massive divide between the two countries and despite the fact that the investigation is ongoing and scotland yard themselves have said that it may take weeks if not months to complete the politicians were much quicker is highly likely that russia was responsible for the juveniles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is cake is culpable quarrel is with putin's kremlin and we think it overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision moscow was quick to bite back slamming the ultimatum put forward by theresa may and calling the claims shocking and unforgettable meanwhile one's voice has been echoed across the world very sad situation certainly looks like the russians with the idea that with high probability the traces lead to russia everything leads us to believe that says indeed russia that was behind this attempted assassination leads us to believe high probability traces those terms are wearing thin on moscow whose requests for evidence have been ignored when it comes to russia the proof doesn't have to be in

the putting it seems. something by the way in the kind of smug sarcastic response that we've heard from the russians that to me but tokens that indicates their fundamental guilt. we've received very detailed information about this case which suggests that there is no other plausible alternative explanation. good tack and salt spray has taken place against the backdrop of a reckless cut them all russian behavior much of the case against russia seems to hinge on the nerve agent in question called novae chalk but everyone seems to have forgotten that a former russian chemist who's accusing moscow of the attack himself published the formula in full in a book back in two. thousand and eight which is surely one of the reasons moscow has demanded to be provided samples of the agent used to poison screwball and his

daughter poisoned with a navi shop a military grade nerve agent of a type developed by russia. if britain so confident that it was no veto then that means they have the chemical formula so important and the ability to produce it we requested the russian government to provide an explanation by the end of cheese by the thirteenth of march on how this russian produced nerve agent could have been deployed in salzburg. they provided no credible explanation we're ready for open and constructive cooperation we don't speak the language of ultimatums and we won't allow anyone to speak to us this way and similar queries coming from jeremy corbyn in parliament were ruthlessly jeered and shot down by his fellow politicians has the prime minister taken the necessary steps under the chemical weapons convention how has she responded to the russian government's request for a sample has high resolution trace analysis been run and has that revealed any

evidence as to the location of its production all the identity of its perpetrators is a consensus across the back benches of this house a really sorry that the consensus does not go as far as the right honorable should . encourage could have taken the opportunity as the u.k. government has done to condemn the culpability. at this point london has ordered twenty three russian diplomats and their families to leave the u.k. suspended all high level contacts between the two countries and announced a partial boycott of the upcoming world cup for their part in moscow answered in kind when it comes to expelling diplomats shut down the british council and plans to close the british consulate in st petersburg and then of course we have more nations ready to impose sanctions in solidarity with the u.k. . against russia between flying accusations threats and diplomats being declared

persona non grata the question becomes when all this tit for tat and and who will be last standing 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 them 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 on the eve of the lecture and on the eve staging the world the world cup want to destroy if you like its international law with which such a crime but there is plenty of motive on the up side russia being effectively pushed in door corner with these accusations this is part of the propaganda

campaign i can tell you that i'm a journalist who spent almost all my career working in the mainstream in. this this is a propaganda campaign promoters of sceptically in the media and who make up my. resume get another pivotal change and his administration firing secretary of state rex tillerson the president explained his decision to reporters saying he and to listen did not see eye to eye on several key issues. press resulted about this for a long time. we got the right well but with this is what you look at the iran deal i think it's terrible yes. i want to read something he felt different so we're not really. we have a very similar story so this is well very good i like. to

. think. reports that trump wanted to suck his top tip on about have been circulating for months due to disagreements over policy moreover the president was said to be furious when to listen and called him a moron last year our relations apparently never recovered from the sucking nevertheless came as a shock to many leading people on social media to share similar stories of surprise rejection and even coining a new wood. if

iut now you fly. on a former cia analyst john kerry who told us the president wants his team to serve

practically as an echo chamber including on its view of the iran nuclear deal i don't think donald trump ever wanted anybody around him he was going to offer contrary advice he wants to be bucked up he wants people to say yes mr president what a great idea mr president let's do it your way mr president and so slowly that's what we're seeing happening the president has said a number of times that he wants to just do away with you know with the agreement of into any campaign is the courts that as president the president also has very strong support among the gulf monarchies against iran and certainly among the israelis and so i think that he thinks that this is the right thing to do i think it is bad news because really to be successful you need to hear all alternative viewpoints and donald trump is not going to get alternative viewpoints he doesn't want them he doesn't listen to them and i think that's the mark of a failing presidency pompei ohs position at the cia will be filled by gina hospital

a she spent most of a career working undercover she was reportedly in charge of a secret u.s. black side prison in thailand where she oversaw the torture of suspects and has said that hospital ordered the destruction of any video evidence of torture. well a pump a zero on hospital face senate confirmation hearings before taking office however rights groups have called on congress to reject both nominations a human rights watch says that given the track records pump ale and hospital both likely to endorse abusive practices but we also spoke with a cia veteran ray mcguffin he says hospital is hardly the best choice to head up the agency gina has felt was in charge of the black sites in thailand where she not only water boarded and otherwise tortured people who were brought there and two thousand and two and around then but she destroyed the evidence she just royd the videotapes that showed how these torture sessions including waterboarding were

carried out in other words if you destroy evidence if you obstruct inquiries then you can move right ahead and i remember my friend john kiriakou who is persecuted and prosecuted and served two years jail time for what for revealing torture or not for doing it he commented when cina hash bill was named deputy director he commented that this is really really bad what will list say to the troops in the ranks it will say you couldn't violate laws it will take care of you it is all to international your program so the top a feeling. american five human rights abuses. yemen you see.

genocide do it gone then just do it was some fourteen who american them british and a number of. european countries they are very generous then this support. so what kind of you. man died sad in which to live a million children a woman does not count. when the whole make its manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million more you need.

locked away secrets and shady financial setups are nightmares for french tax inspectors and customs officers. we question the customs investigator a specialist in fraud and the trafficking of cultural assets. faced with such scams he recognizes his powerlessness. on credits for city coffers quality of office and more only a civil war your god that means hostile forces. on the export to observe our pothole. well fed up on the show. it's only a guess it's a shit to each him and think of it on the contrary i don't. despise so it. could have been if he didn't have a blanket god he's also a divide he's got his powerful fineness. we meet up again with even with all of his indictments he's earned

a shady reputation but after thirty years in the business he's as tough as nails every year in may he heads to basel in switzerland for the biggest art fair in the world art basel. he flies in a private jet for which he pays fifty thousand dollars a year. despite his tangles with the law he wants to be in the right places how does he fall something that will want to go out the budget stick a little off. say that money just as strong and yet people see it up with all the moving the whole thing but also what. gets real pleasure to be so simple it lets you. make enough audio as you go off of the show before us which was it but they couldn't get. the second it's at the p.t.a. meeting. i said. but they said it went up at about obama's because it's

a metal. plate at the time of the. something. help us to step up somebody like it was but you know what's that been on the board to see again. i didn't receive a piece of. land yet burning off his private jet we soon see that his controversial reputation causes fewer problems than predicted. if. this. is all that's to. say because of his first appointment is with one of the art fairs founders arends a rudolph. both men have businesses in singapore and are good friends with you to filmmaking what you do more to.

take it to the altar predicting one off also it is the should be of newman i just. want. to put the dummy. doesn't. the point is that yes we need this to be a minute yet but some possibility. that it. will set up a so if. you still love him. four thousand artists exhibit their works at art basel it attracts the general public but more importantly the biggest players on the international art market. thank you gallery owners collectors and curators of the world's museums. accompanied by his art consultant sixteen yves movie is here to check out the new trends. most of the works on show come from the store rooms of the geneva freeport

some two hundred fifty kilometers away. v.a. is here to show his fellow professionals that he's still in the game and is still to be taken seriously. to build up all the automation on a say probably factors of that but last week and most of. us bill o'reilly i feel well yes how are you doing. boss was trying. to. set up most of the men on his cell phone is david.

clearly troubled by our camera the blue v.a. quickly calls his assistant to go reassure him. use it for you that you. need. to treat just like it most of them showed his emotion at the buses. but he has no rights regarding our footage to. cite the likes of. david no mudd isn't just anyone he's the man with three hundred picasso's the head of one of the most powerful families in the art world the numb odds renown dealers. here's their stand at art basel by calder mirror those fun tanos and because of those. and also a royal lichtenstein and his own two feet all of them stars of modern art. in the

mud collection is valued at almost three billion dollars thousands of works most of which are stored at the geneva freeport. maybe the reason david no mud prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. the story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. even as a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found

a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box it was here in the paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar stettner for his stolen pate. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had

already.
