local state media say the rebels in eastern gator were the ones who carried out the shelling attacks many of the victims died when one of the rockets hit a crowded market local journalist a library him visited the site. is one of the largest single rocket strikes that ever hit the syrian capital damascus since the beginning of the conflict back in two thousand and eleven there was a popular mall in the marketplace that was very crowded of the heart with people shopping because today people interested operate mother's day and many people were out buying their gifts your survey and when the shells heard leaving the small number of. civilians into a particular struggle. when we got outside we couldn't see anything because the dust a real massacre ice we are wouldn't wish anyone to witness a scene like this it's really saddening in the past forty eight hours the syrian army was able to make substantial gains in the syrian military now controls over

thirty percent of what was once one of the most important and closest to the syrian couple damascus trouble holding claves it is believed that it is in this location many of the headquarters of the rebels that were established perhaps this is the reason why the rebels have stepped up their rocket attacks on this rink up damascus damascus have seen an increase not just in the number of rockets that hit in the past twenty four hours but also the quality of the caliber of the rockets that rebels are using to shell the capital damascus. and australian so-called bio hack named meow has implanted a chip in this hand to ride public transport more conveniently what i didn't expect was to be taken to court and receive a heavy fine. i work environment in broad based i drive so i put technology inside my body i'm a federal politician so political candidate with the science party.

that you can program is to just like open your door you can interact with the variety of technology at the moment this one has on the back of my thumb. so you can tell my. state government is encouraging people to hack the system but when somebody came and attacked it you know why they haven't anticipated it cause me to end up in court and that was quite of the thing that was surprising especially with the amount of interest that the case gone and it was it would have been a really good opportunity to show innovative ways of using the transport system and my law basically stated that this is a case where the law hasn't for up with technology and i'm maybe six months ahead of where things could go. if we see more cases like this how it might affect other people with a future of our father the rights of companies extends with respect to the rights

of the individual but has that implantable technology inside that body. that has just been launched from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan expedition fifty five is now making its way towards the international space station on the journey that we expect to take fifty hours since carrying two americans on one russian nasa flight engineer ricky arnold and two for still as well as soyuz command to me of the third flight for drew sloan on one previous shuttle mission. ready how they long stay on the. and you sexual consent bill in sweden is proposing to increase the punishment for writing the plans had to parliament on tuesday revise the list of sexual crimes. that's different from current legislation were has to be shown that there was

violence a throat force or the plaintiff was in a particularly vulnerable situation we have not however change the basic principle that it's willingness which decides if it's an act of abuse or not. there will no longer be a need to prove intent in rape for example meanwhile sexual consent must now be verbal or via clear actions as mentioned punishment for perpetrators is also being increased however no changes to evidence standards that are being proposed and this comes amid a ten percent rise in the number of rape crimes in the country in just a year but concerns have been raised that the new legislation may lead to a wave of false accusations i think it is a way susannah's some political signals because this is the law well to change the definition of what is rape and now a man has to truth that there was a tall of consent from the woman it can be easier to accuse

a man of rape there are three going on that is never reported because there's no evidence so this could actually help a lot of women to come out and make accusations but what could also happen is that there will be a lot of false accusations and you know just having sexual activity could be like entering a courtroom. the u.s. national security agency has reportedly been tracking users of the virtual currency bitcoin since at least two thousand and thirteen intelligence officials have also reportedly made efforts to unmask identities and transactions. ok i can't bring you that report on because not quite ready but we are going to bring it to you in a few moments time if we can to that though new arms deals have become the main topic for the talks between the saudi crown prince and the u.s. president on tuesday donald trump found rather creative way as well to present his

potential customer with more military hardware. very very. five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five million dollars that's been a preview. so here is a very wealthy nation and we're going to give the united states some of them well hopefully. but the meeting was met with protesters activists called on washington to stop backing the saudi led bombing of yemen. crown prince it's here in the u.s. it is inside the white house right now meeting with president. here to secure the cure for us to be used again and to the bargain himself as the reformer being responsible for creating the worst humanitarian disaster on earth. yet.

the saudi crown prince and president on trump are also expected to discuss a possible new clear energy corp deal congress is weighing in too by debating any possible agreement later on wednesday that's after it was reported that the saudis would reject any deal that forbade them from enriching uranium the crown prince early said riyadh needed the option of pursuing a nuclear weapons program in order to counter iran the sort of directing them to saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb we will follow suit as soon as possible. but i mean i can. deal with. you know this is nuclear the will actually the nuclear release in that part of the world that the whole of the least the saudis would like to borrow to buy you know they have to start from scratch they don't know because they don't actually run these kind of nuclear plants so

that's the question is is that americans are going to supply them with these loans or actually for what these are what they are going to be from this. finally i mention. this these. days in the region it will be very costly and it's very very dangerous so i think that's how the in this case the will to do this all nuclear bombs see we are going to be ten so it is sixteen to be used. because return to that story about the u.s. national security agency reportedly tracking uses of the currency bitcoin since at least two thousand and thirteen intelligence officials of also reportedly made efforts to unmask identities and transactions are easily patrik a picture of the story question what's in it for bitcoin buyers besides the price

boom last year when its rate kept going up people got themselves to was to get rich but bitcoins have been luring enthusiastic with something else since long before the twenty seven thing boom central bank control privacy and transaction anonymity i'm sorry this could have all been an illusion you haven't followed noton or have you. the n.s.a. worked urgently to target coin users around the world according to classified documents provided by snowden so let's look into the national security agency files which caught the eye of the intercepts journalists back in the days when the bitcoin was only worth less than one hundred bucks march twenty third thing the u.s. was already working hard on tracking down crypto wallet holders and the n.s.a.'s number one priority among the new currencies was bitcoin they did come up with

a mysterious tool called monkey rocket and guess what analysts of found value in the monkey rocket access to help track down sanders and receivers of bitcoins how much value is the question here that no one will give you an answer to but come on the n.s.a. is almighty when it comes to getting hold of all kinds of data so no matter how underdeveloped monkey rock it was back then the agency could have filled in the missing puzzle pieces using a stunning array of other spying tools the whistleblower suggest with this sort of information in hand putting a name to a given bitcoin user would be easy monkey rock it is also described in the files as a non western internet and on them is ation service how many bitcoin owners have so far been tricked by the n.s.a. into using this product that we can only guess where in march twenty minutes

actually five years since these n.s.a. memos where it said we should do our best to track down bitcoin users were written but the guys at the snooping agency haven't really been wasting time a million to train co in moscow. well daniel amatory from future money trends joins me live on the line now good evening to you daniel how worried should the bitcoin users on hold or some people just like the holding of the not actually spend it how concerned should they be about this story about the n.s.a. basically tracking people. you know i don't think they should be as worried as facebook users which is a lot more where they're tracking everything and we already know that n.s.a. through snowden's original when he was a whistleblower. through all the things that they've tracked through our own telephone records and through our internet traffic now when it comes to bitcoin if

anything this is why you want to own bitcoin because it is it does keep you anonymous it shows in there that the n.s.a. tried to identify users of bitcoin we know that transactions are open for all to see but the users themselves are private if they set up their account or their wallet. privately with private keys so now if you're using coin base of course the iris has your information n.s.a. is going to have your information but for the true bitcoin enthusiasm one who's concerned a high net worth investor a high net worth person or any individual who's looking for privacy there are ways to set it up and keep it private keep your identity private keep in mind in that data release from snowden it showed that they actually had to trick people into giving them their information through setting up a false software that was encouraging them to sign up for it to help them keep their privacy so the n.s.a. was very deceptive in trying to even track it they had to first receive people to

voluntarily give their information to them is it is not slightly misleading to say it's in the anonymous isn't it more accurate to say pseudonymous they're all ways to find out people's identity whether it be three minutes that they spend calling via even in the future your ip address if you can find out someone's ip address you know what it is you can track the money but for them find out who they all and how much they're spending so there's always been an element of risk of people's identity could be discovered doesn't. i think there is a risk that your identity me discovered if you are not going out of your way to stay private and you know if you're doing a cash purchase of bitcoin you mean somebody at a local starbucks and you do that cash transaction just like a can cash transaction is hard for anyone to track down so with that bitcoin

transaction because again it is anonymous who has the bitcoin if you or if you're keeping your wallet outside of the banking system not like you know if you're using a major and i'm not picking on coinbase because they've done a lot of good in helping bitcoin go mainstream equipment cryptocurrency go mainstream but outside of using that mainstream vehicle you actually can still keep your anonymity with bitcoin do you think that you know the people in the state who've seen vested in recently thinking it's a good investment realize the stuff you think this some people now panic and think it's not what i thought i thought i was known in this actually i'm exposing will be some tonic selling. you know i don't think there's any panic selling over this this we you know just like nobody stopped using their cell phone when they found out the n.s.a. was tracking all of our cell phone text messaging all of our even recording some of

our our our voices on these massive warehouses of computers they have and utah you know or they stop there they're not going to stop using facebook because of what's happening in the news right now with facebook so i don't think there's going to be any kind of panic selling in bitcoin because the n.s.a. is trying to track it down and the n.s.a. has made it a number one priority at least according to that two thousand and thirteen report from five years ago so i don't forsee any panic selling a bit coin i just think if somebody wants to own bitcoin and you want that privacy and that privacy is important to you there are ways to implement implement the strategy my own website has that if your money friends there are many other places you could google it hopefully you're not googling into an n.s.a. program that's actually just capturing your information yeah i think the pins in essence is probably a good place to start many thanks for your time daniel emma during my guess from future money trends. dozens of children in russia's most

region are being treated for suspect a gas poisoning locals blame a local wake's plants the protested outside the hospital where the children were taken the crowds that booed the mosco region governor when he came to visit. was it was the of the local media say that more than one hundred ninety people adults and children suffered from north and dizziness residents say that emissions from the local waste depot making the that toxic artie's video agency talk to some of the residents they say they just want to protect their children. even only wendy's night emissions happen my child coughs as if he's suffocating he can't sleep he cries he has a sore throat that it isn't just an ordinary quote the pretty good quality of lights when we put the kids to sleep we seal the doors and windows with wet towels

so that they won't breathe the sin. you wish it was over here that's unbearable the smell is awful we adults suffer but our children suffer more we're always nervous sometimes we don't even know whether they will wake up in the morning because many suffer from asked my or allergies it looks like school to the children are daisy they vomit the teachers have to call ambulances my son goes to the local school he's just eight we just want people to hear us our cry for help. well amid the growing outcry from residents the general prosecutor's office said that it would launch a probe into the poisonings. in other news tear gas has been used that the cost of an assembly this was on wednesday just ahead of a vote in fact and it was on a disputed border agreement with montenegro proceedings were halted when a member of the opposition party to tear gas canisters into the chamber the bill was on recognizing the boundaries between montenegro and kosovo as opposed to it

claimed it would be tantamount to seceding land to montenegro. and finally preparations for the twenty eight team football world cup in russia they are in full swing and on friday there will be a friendly match between brazil and russia moscow's listening. players from both teams impressed despite the freezing moscow temperatures there were training ahead of what will be their penultimate warm up match for this some missed championship some fifty thousand tickets would have been snapped up for that friendly match but the tournament's most successful ever team brazil will be without their superstar player neymar for that friendly game due to his broken matter tassel. thanks so much for joining us this saving busy news hour more coming your way. it would appear the more the political left and their allies in the corporate media

attack donald trump the more we learn about the corrupt behavior of the deep state the firing of andrew mackay but the f.b.i. gets a key some point is this the beginning of a purge. the most expensive fish in the world each one selling for tens of thousands of euros continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only women and set off a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes.

i'm after tense here we're going underground on the day tourism is appointed judge summit and more big begins procedural hearings for the inquiry into one of britain's worst tragedies grenfell coming up in the show we ask a former senior british intelligence officer why london now says moscow has been stockpiling the nerve agents six months off the organization. for the prohibition of chemical weapons announced complete destruction of russia's chemical weapons stockpile and then we're going to war with iran and who will be fired next in washington we get the lowdown on the only world leader general to raise him is have from a member of donald trump's media advisory board dr gene allows for some headlines

not states and mind this reason they are the oil company that wants to test this to fractals all the civil coming of the days going underground and first this week marks nineteen years since britain went to doing arguably illegal war against a sovereign nation without any resolution from the u.n. security council mandating violence no no they rock russian backed serbia in yugoslavia and even de facto china in yugoslavia in a sense the un is sidelined in all of this the russians and chinese made it clear some months ago that they couldn't support military threats but we simply couldn't stand by and do nothing as a result of russian and chinese our eight years later nato supreme allied commander of that war general wesley clark explained what the pentagon would then tell him i came back to see him a few weeks later and by that time we were bombing in afghanistan i said are we still going to war with iraq and he said oh it's worse than that he said just

picked up a piece of paper he said i just said i just got this down from upstairs secor defense office today and he said this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years starting with iraq and in syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and finishing off iran . of those seven countries iraq is arguably under a rainy in orbit and syria has kind of won its war against u.k. backed regime change somalia and libya destabilized by britain when to resume was in government fighting islam ists in fact libya is in the news because of the detention of former french president nicolas sarkozy sudan meanwhile is allied to brics china and yemen bombed with weapons supplied by tourism is government represents the world's worst humanitarian crisis for iran the world waits for donald trump to rip up the iran nuclear deal signed in vienna in twenty fifteen here's his former national security advisor mike flynn on this show talking about

the iranian threat and why russia should be involved with any confrontation with the islamic republic it's facing all of us it's facing the world and we have to recognize and we cannot keep catering to nations like iran which are part of it and i think for russia and i've said this before on this network that russia has to take a different view of how they deal with iran interestingly it was allegedly iran in conjunction with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons as a synthesized novacek back in twenty sixteen our only real knowledge arguably of the agents claimed by juries or made to have been used in the poisonings of a m i six agent in england comes because of iran no wonder some might say the britons partners use the diplomatic phrase of a type made by russia rather than from russia as o.p.c. w. scientists today investigate i'm joined now by philip ingram a twenty seven year veteran of the u.k. army intelligence corps worked in iraq northern ireland and yugoslavia philip

thanks for coming on just before we get on to the atrocity in wilcher why you appearing on the this kremlin controlled network that two resumes countenance well handing off been given new editorial direction as to what it is and to say or not to say so you know i believe in free speech and you're giving me free speech so we'll get the message out well. get this you believe the prime minister which is the only credible explanation it went from highly likely to credible explanation to plausible is that russia is responsible for the attempted murder of the scribbles i do. do for a number of reasons but you you mentioned just before i came on about other countries that there's been reports that they produce no be top style agents nobody talks for a group there are so many different chemicals that could fall within the group and as a group the international community knew very very little about it remember the o.p.c. w. got responsibility to oversee the destruction of weapons other been declared to them

and i think that's not to clear the programs they need to try and find out about it and have other oversight but there's two reasons when you look at. how the attack happened in and the first one is who's got the capability of producing this type of chemicals so many countries that have the ability to produce a joke surely know what you're going straight to tel aviv well i would i would say washington or britain i wouldn't i would say so many countries you know scientifically there are a number of countries around the world that have the laboratories and have the capability if they want to produce it to produce it i suspect. but then the most important thing is you have to look at why you what was the intent for this engine to be produced and used in the way it was and that's when you get into analyzing the intent that a lot of the indicators point toward russia so the intent was to destroy russia's reputation over the world cup no not not not not the slightest you know the intent

i think was to send a very clear message and i think this is why i believe that with russia if you look at the type of agent you know whoever used that agent and also say whoever at this time wanted to make it clear that they were using something that was novel that was horrible it was terrifying they were sending a message so we then need to look to see what sort of messages were they sending and i think there's you know there's a number of pieces here the first one was and i think this is the lowest priority message to a defector someone who had betrayed his home country was we don't even though he'd been pardoned even though we've been pardoned will get them but we've heard president putin say on television that you know he will go after anyone who has. acted against mother russia when it was a rhetorical flourish about betrayal and i mean we have we've seen we've seen that in a number of cases the second thing is i think to send

a message to the international community in the same way that we have seen security council resolutions being voted against we have seen with the an extension of crew . the support that's going on for rebels in eastern ukraine with the movement of a carrier battle group down into the mediterranean to fly jets against the rebels that were fighting in syria what president putin is doing is showing to the world that russia is not going to be messed around with and that is sending a very clear statement domestically that russia is by. on the world's superpower market you said there's a message into the world was the domestic messaging and surprise surprise this happened two weeks before the president's election and president putin is a character is a strong character and wanted a greater percentage of the vote than they got in the last election so the final part of the message i think this was the primary reason for using

a very nasty chemical and using it in such a public way was to send a clear message out of those dissenters that could actually hurt him were every you are in the world just watch out because they didn't get you they didn't know before obviously this is all circumstantial evidence one could use exactly these facts to create a different reality when you obviously feel you are understand the kremlin more and you've you've worked in intelligence i've got i'm going to get to this. why is it that even though the o.p.c. w. the british ambassador the o.p.c. w indeed congratulated russia on the complete destruction the verifiable destruction of all the chemical weapons in the past few months that the foreign secretary boris johnson said that within the past ten years russia has definitely been making chemical weapons no virtual sex is this. one of this intelligence or suddenly appeared on what one more says the barossa fact. and is known for making

a very bold comments that may not necessarily be based on ever anything that's there i don't know what intelligence has come across as normal for intelligence that we had else on a television program not not not at all and therefore i would put this down as a as a boris's i'm in you know he's making a statement for in effect that he's understood him himself but what it will be is he will have had a better understanding because his foreign secretary and he will be briefed it would have been briefed and overtalk and threats from novi talk because there was no reason for that up until this in. that happened i'm not all of a sudden your large proportion briefs will be going across his desk will be nobody talk i'm giving him all of the background detail the probability is of course that we have that iraq example of where the evidence was used to fit geo political policy you're presenting it is just passionate intelligence offices dispassionate

law enforcement let alone dispassionate government isn't the problem here that i mean even this phrase of a type made in russia. a very important journalist then kim jong un's brother when he was killed by v.x. nerve gas the british government could be blamed because britain invented v.x. nerve gas or because a helicopter i think i think i think using that they could appropriate to say of a type that was invented by the british i'm sure the series of agents the next one was one that was developed in the british between one hundred fifty two and fifty four so you know so but why jump the gun on the p.c. w that's investigating today and wilcher why don't wait for the outcome of the u.n. inspectors well i think there's two aspects to this the first is the the political aspect you know the prime minister was under some political pressure not least of which from the opposition parties to give us.
