but because every country in the world is a member united nations and we close we used to recognize google as having a higher classification than united nations intelligence once a point of your b.c.w.p. being i will shoot it well with your p.c. w. are bringing in a set of independent specters they can either use the facilities important on to examine the agent and they probably will there and see what's going on and look at it as much as they possibly can and to. try and examine the assessment has been made and come up with their own conclusions and then the probably take a sample of it away to their own laboratory so they can independently. look at the agent that's been used and apportion their own view as to where they think it's come from and that's very important to get that sort of independent oversight so you thing is political pressure that cause to raise a way to jump the gun as it will i think they have their own little pressure i think is a political necessity and i think there's a necessity for the people the country because this is the first time that such

a horrific agent has been used on this on the streets of europe that we shouldn't underestimate just how dangerous this is and the need to be a degree of public reassurance as if they have this lethal nerve weapon what's to stop this escalating without any kind of summit between london and moscow what's to stop this being escalated into threateners in a much more. real way from developing from a cold war to hot war which is fighting this war diplomacy comes in international diplomacy comes in and this is where it's important that the o.p.c. w. gets in can make their assessment they can inform the united nations what's happened and we get back into the good old fashioned diplomacy game though i think if we saw the russian reaction to the british expulsion it wasn't as severe as it could have been and therefore was a sort of like for like so there's suggestions there that president putin didn't want to escalate this any further whether the closing of the british consul the consulate in some petersburg is considered an escalation or not that's for treason

made to decide for the big thank you after the break what did the saudi crown prince talk about during yesterday's meeting with president donald trump we ask a member of the old drugs media advisory board could you go on from the headlines suck gift from gadhafi with cash on top of these gifts from israel with all the similar to of going on the ground. well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. they're. pulling. the little big fish already. because there are.

cons fifteen's seventeen. children and they do it several times a day with a big please no you get an idea. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. the witness of the deal for you because. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all suck but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's

a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come after you have to go meet the center of the beach but how would you and will show the great the british you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going left go. alone. and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make up a bigger need to just say look. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we just do it on my guess is nobody you know visitation i don't know one comes in anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's

what they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you do the chores or not actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she could is behind such success. welcome back well to go through some of this week's headlines as broadcaster a former liberal democrat member of parliament lembit oh big bed how was last night are great what happened last i was launching my thesis on why the lib dems really need to move on from just being fixated about having a second referendum on the european union as long as they do that is two party politics and they're not one of those two parties well the leader of your party vince cable longer comes on this show the way that is let's go to our first story here from the israeli paper her it. says israeli spies ukrainian honey traps the dirty tricks used by cambridge analytic are far behind facebook data breach big

story developing drawing in our very own prime minister here the breach is actually because they were filmed secretly saying well we do facilitate these kinds of actions to compromise your competitors or your opponents who dares to challenge or news i thought russia meddled with the elections and all israeli spies and british intelligence this is based in cambridge afshan that was born in cambridge where the ways as you know well there's the link there's the link i wore it anyway because there are enough soldiers to fall anyway always leads you into each other for news of this obviously likes you with the prime minister been looking into this the same techniques potentially for electoral political ads with the daily mail yes that's have a look at this one on line says and i wants to use an army of computerized mind readers to help win the next election and this was before this was back in twenty sixteen twenty sixteen yes the crucial thing here is less the timing rather than the

connection this once again goes back to cambridge and let it go so we now see this connection between to reason may be secret service the honeytrap exploits and cambridge and there is nothing nothing in all of this to say that tourism a arranged honeytrap is against nothing at all or me calling it all but cambridge analytical refuses to comment perhaps because. they want to sustain the privacy of their clients but it's a very opportune time for this to come out given all the other accusations pointed in other directions and i'm thinking of no particular country when i say that well i just say the boss of facebook mark zuckerberg says he's going to be interviewed by the information commissioner whose office is in this building show where we're all very excited here you'll be listening in someone's obviously been listening in on the former french president let's take this from a libyan newspaper salt water for sarkozy who live in express as sarkozy taken in french police custody of in libya funding of his two thousand and seven election campaign now get this it's reported that there were three suitcases though did with

cash and that's really coming from kind look at all the allegations presumed we denied by carla bruni and former president sarkozy more than the refused to respond to the summons initially he wouldn't cooperate with the police while he is cooperating now in a sense but it's a pretty big deal again the figures are stupendously larger tennis until proven guilty ups ups might make the news the u.n. security council when they discuss libya today you could just say took money from going to absolutely and you got their first action because we have to be careful not to say that he's guilty of anything this compare that to how the russians have been treated in terms of the soul's pre events where we can assume guilt without proving evidence so there are some double standards going on here well of course some people said the libya war was not just about sarkozy although sarkozy presumably turned against his benefactor would be the allegation that complicate was about oil the sweetest oil in the world and you've got

a story here for the morning star about oil or it is demonstrations it's a variation on the oil theme this is about fracking morningstar says oil companies bid to silence anti frak as crumbles turns out that u.k. oil and gas company has sought sweeping injunction to try and stop protestors from excellent demonstrations. protest isn't free speech well i'm actually equivocal about fracking but i'm not concerned about how in fact is demonstrating that's their right they should be heard by the earthquakes or the earthquakes rather they see now you're in very similar am i saying that the thing is that sixty thousand pounds of additional security has been paid which in itself is possibly ok it's a free speech question here are we living in a country where the right to demonstrate is being limited because these people get in the way of big business we have the right to protest that's going to this very tragic story redolent of the spanish civil war arguably some people say it was

syria was about oil take us to this it's a gender based story the telegraph reported gender based his agenda based henri it is because this woman campbell who joined all female fighting it killed in syria why because she is the not the first brit to be killed but the first woman to be killed in a very complicated situation now she was fighting with the kurdish women's protection units again backed by the united states well yes and our friend in northern syria against isis ill who of course had a complicated relationship with the west in the past so the whole thing is a big mess over there now the west is culpable in turning up the heat in my view in more than one way turkish jet killed this british as an british subject supported by american money does that mean under article five of nato the united states that alone britain can attack turkey well remember that's the big mass because we're walking into a dangerous area which could be more incendiary than the situation between

washington and north korea there were no big thank you well within the past twenty four hours u.s. president ronald trump here between tweeting is meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman on the heels of his visit to london where he met to resume and the queen the u.s. saudi alliance though will arguably get less media attention then who trump will fire next joining me now from florida is dr gene allowed in. serves on the president's advisory board who was a national media surrogate during trump's dramatic twenty sixteen race for the white house you know thanks for coming on going underground how powerful is the presidency given trump's inability it seems to stop one investigation after another against him well it is those investigations against him that are proof positive of exactly how powerful this president is and how scared to death the establishment and the elite inside the beltway in washington d.c. are of him this president has come in and made sweeping radical reforms that have

completely unleashed our free market economics and that is scaring those who like the way things were done in the old traditional ways with the auld traditional establishment it scared them to death so it is it is because of his power that these investigations continue at the moment day here in britain we're getting headlines about some kind of alliance allegedly between israeli u.k. intelligence and facebook changing elections in africa let alone some implications here in britain but why is it over there your media thinks trump was elected only because of the russians. it's interesting i don't know because you know the things that we've seen in our media prove zero efforts on anyone involved with that with the trump campaign to to do anything with any foreign governments we see quite the contrary on the other side from the democrats and so i think time will tell you how

confident can you be the robert mueller is investigating alleged collusion between the clinton campaign and the former in my six agent christopher steele that deserved to be making their loans over there you know what the media's going to report what they're going to report and a lot of times that the u.s. media as you know is going to always be against any concern. it is who are holding office but i don't think that i have a lot of confidence in mohler frankly i don't have a lot of confidence in anyone who's left over from the establishment that existed prior to this president who is obviously a reformer in every way so my confidence is only going to come from those that the president has put in place or those that have come along after the president where i believe we're seeing now a much more transparent government a much a government that is much closer to the united states people then then we've seen in the past and beyond that i just don't trust much of anyone obviously

manufacturing workers are going to applaud policies like the tariffs on the island medium and steel but when you talk about the establishment it was trump who brought in establishment people then to then to fire them arguably i'm not sure exactly what instance you're speaking about right now but i will say that i think that what the president has done in terms of bringing business back to the united states and repatriating jobs that had been overseas what he's done even and i and i personally i'm not a tariffs person but the unfair trade war that was happening against the united states from other governments i think what the president did was a masterful negotiating tactic that i think in the long run will work out very well economically not just for the united states but honestly for our allies and even for trade on the world scale and you think that i mean we're also getting headlines here but came we journalists ago it's all about the weather. trouble needs has

a legitimate presidency they're all just designed to undercut him being able to carry through policies like the presidency is very legitimate and all you have to do is look at his base which is more solid and more. i would say. fervent then any base that i have i have ever seen in american politics most free market people love president reagan we all love president reagan but they really love this president as long as he keeps creating jobs and now we're up to so many jobs i've lost count somewhere as long as he keeps creating jobs and he keeps making american life a little easier for the average american citizen with bonuses that are coming back to them through their companies and you know increased homeownership among black families you know this president has shown that his economic. hope

for our future in america is completely colorblind he wants it for everyone across the board in america and even beyond that as i said and so i don't think that you know the other side is that going to want to listen to this because they are very used to business happening as usual they like their cushy parties in their elite places in washington d.c. they like not having to work very hard to get to get big fat paychecks and big fat pensions this president is changing all that so it's not that surprising that they don't like him but regular of course developed a big relationship with mosco it has to be honest i know it's just every day all the talk shows in the united states but why doesn't donald trump slam and criticize russia well i think that there have definitely been some reprisals for the things that he thinks that russia has done bad i think that he sees every country for its good and its bad and its possible threats to the united states and its possible

advantage to the united states so i think that the president is going to stand firmly against governments that are going to try to meddle in our elections certainly or any governments that are going to try to meddle with us economically or any governments that are going to try unfair trade practices against the united states certainly in these sorts of crimes of war or nuclear threat are going to be met swiftly and abruptly by the. this president he is fearless in that and he's made that clear but on the other hand if they can if there's a place for us to negotiate even with governments as rogue and ridiculous as north korea the president is going to try to stand on the side of united states and eliminate that nuclear threat and i think that's what any president of any country should always be doing for their own country it's just that it's been a long time since america had a president that cared more about america than they did about foreign nations and that's why you can talk to crown prince mohammed bin sultan of saudi arabia when trump surely knows that fifteen of the nineteen hijackers on nine eleven were from

saudi arabia i think the president has dealt so well with terror that it is completely undeniable where he stands on that issue you look at isis used to be an american headlines every single day terrorist acts were happening every single day at least on a small scale somewhere in the united states he has eliminated virtually a limited that threat at the time the american election began to mount when the president was just getting into the presidential election the number one concern on the hearts and minds of americans was isis today isis is in the back shadows somewhere no one thinks about them no one talks about them our concerns are completely different and he has a limited that threat so i don't think there's any argument where this president stands on terror and how firmly and how swiftly he will eliminate those who present a terrorist threat to the united states dr jean a lot of thank you and that's it for the show told me back on saturday to live to

get today's claims against russia by minority government be different from a prime minister's question still that he was not present will be dual feels i think nineteen years to the day britain began attacking yugoslavia without approval from the un security council. the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent. action like. split into which we differ how do you view that. complex web.

it would appear the more the political left and their allies in the corporate media . the more we learn about the corrupt behavior of the deep state the firing of andrew mccabe at the f.b.i. it's a case in point is this the beginning of a purge. few things. few.

headlines this. regard the poisoning of a spine to tara while demanding answers to questions. facebook is under fire after the date of millions of its uses was harvested and exploited in the u.s. presidential. election meddling. i understand. it's the kind of party line which is whatever whatever the russian war effort by you know there's lots of things we'll see is the fact that facebook is a tool all see feel well the government. run schools of civilians killed this rebel shelling targets the suburbs of damascus and hits a crowded market. hello there she is gone six needling here in the russian capital you're watching r.t.

international now our top story this hour the russian foreign ministry says it considers the poisoning of former spice and his daughter as an act of terror it is just held a briefing on the case with a number of ambassadors attending the event there today as more. the foreign ministry spokesperson said a number of things firstly he reiterated that russia could have in no way benefited from the attack moscow says they consider this to be a terror attack secondly they stated that the u.k. refused to cooperate with russia which is against the convention on preparation of chemical weapons and he mentioned the attack could have been orchestrated by another party but then clarified that russia is not pinning the blame on anyone and asked that his words not be distorted let's take a quick look. we see that the british authorities are becoming ever more nervous and it's clear why the clock is ticking they have backed themselves into a corner they will eventually have to provide answers to the increasing number of

unanswered questions we expect from london and from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons an official and detailed account of developments regarding the scruple case we need comprehensive conclusions and detailed confirmations a spokesperson for the defense ministry also spoke out and he said that it seems that britain is afraid to conduct an unbiased invest. occasion into the scribbled case and that the u.k. presented no proof that gas illegibly used to poison scruple was made in russia he went on to say that the formula of the subs and not the charge was published by scientists. who is working with the us government the russian foreign ministry went on to talk specifically about britain and said it was and is one of the states that have been implementing a program on the development of new chemical weapons since one thousand nine hundred seventy s. he added that the porton down lap in britain is used to conduct instruments involving use of chemical weapons now we did have a reaction from

a london embassy spokesperson who stated that moscow doesn't have to present anything in terms of script or case but is ready for a joint investigation london has proposed russia a dialogue over this case however it doesn't see a constructive approach from moscow now the ambassadors that did not attend were britain u.s. and france britain and the u.s. sent embassy workers instead a crimp spokesperson reacted to the u.k. decision by saying that it showed willingness to hear russia's to its questions that moscow to date has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of so again you list cripple the russian former intelligence officer and his daughter you were allegedly poisoned insults three both of them remain in a critical condition and so this diplomatic spat that has gone on for a while now looks to continue to go on for some time. due to the reporting there will meanwhile the u.k.'s foreign secretary boris johnson has said he believed that the school of power poisoning leads back inexorably to the kremlin however he went

on to say this case shouldn't lead to so assertion of all dialogue with russia that london was trying to start a new cold war. well i want to be very clear that we do not wish to engage in a new cold war i'd hate that term i don't want i remember them or they'll go. ok let's get the thoughts now of hans frederic von praties a former german ambassador to russia good evening thank you very much for your time and coming on to r.t. this evening firstly what's your reaction to what boris johnson just said there he said that we don't want a new cold war but when you look at the fact that the u.k. ambassador perhaps didn't turn up to the briefing that was held by the russian foreign ministry today i mean is that really being achieved. i think we should boris johnson's words face well you if you say as he doesn't want

a cold war he is probably expression expressing the general views held also across europe and the west and i think that is. a plausible with regard to the fact that the u.k. u.s. and french ambassadors didn't go to this briefing that was held today by the russian foreign ministry are you surprised by that and what perhaps do you think they were trying to achieve. it is it is. pure speculation if i. talk if i try to talk about the possible no motives and i don't like speculation ok but as a former ambassador mean if you try to put yourself in their shoes for the moment obviously something like that isn't going to go down well with russia clearly. well i mean we have we have exchanged words without and i

think what is now. the order of the day is international. so thorough examination of all accessible and available facts and. i think it is important and would be also encouraging if russia decided to be part of that international examination. it's offered today that hasn't it but at the moment it feels as though it's being frozen out of any private says look can we start having some answers please from the u.k. after all these accusations that are being held at us very little evidence is being put forward to substantiate them well if moscow is ready to participate in a constructive way in an international examination i'm sure everybody would welcome

that it would also be a general sign there to make efforts to avoid what boris johnson says the feeling that there is something like a new cold war which is absolutely not desirable in fact it would be a disaster sure how do you think then that anglo russian relations will move on from here. these relations have a long history happened to have just read the my school diaries the. memoirs or the diaries of his surrogate ambassador during during world war two in london and in my time as a germ member senator in london i followed very closely relations between the u.k. and russia. it is it is so

easy and probably almost natural to get very excited when suddenly something so terrible they can souls bury happens but i think beyond understandable and unavoidable and probably also necessary harsh reactions now is the time to sit down and go through the facts which are a way little. studied them. and professionally and then come to conclusions i need i would like to remind you of that germany and russia after the fall of the berlin wall have a long and quite encouraging record of corporations in dealing with the problem of chemical weapons. we provided technical

know. and also considerable amounts of money to help russia to get rid of its large stocks of chemical weapons and i think that is quite successful and almost untold story of corporation to improve security on our continent ok answered example the former german ambassador to russia thank. you. now in other news a series of missile attacks have struck a government controlled suburbs of the syrian capital killing at least forty four people. thank. you sabo over three of my relatives are injured my wife and daughter are in surgery right now. my son told me he wanted to celebrate mother's.
