government is advancing because at the end of the day we have two nuclear powers accusing each other or at least one accusing another of using chemical weapons on its territory in so subjecting in the general population to the very very damaging in fact of this agent but the very point is that the programs were conducted the russia as the successor state to do so he union was responsible to destroy all the facilities where chemical weapons were destroyed where they were struck by how they have received quite a bit of western assistance in terms of achieving the program that everything russia has declared has been destroyed in september of last year that has been certified by d o p c w. that is not of central to the accusation that's being made against russia is that it consoles an agent that was declared by a muslim in me mr sanderson with all due respect not declaring an agent is

a different claim from the president of the country ordering the assassination on a foreign soil and this is the letter claimed that the foreign secretary of boris johnson is advancing against russia if russia is found in or at the soviet union was found in violation of that treaty that would be something different and the consequences for that would be totally different than accusing a country or a country's president of ordering assassinations of foreign citizens do you see the difference at least what they're trying to explain in this situation is that because it was the clear and because. precursors are not listed in the weapons convention there is no way that the international community has been able to verify what the agents are how much of her was produced and where it comes from one of the things the investigation that's now being carried. o.p.c. w.

inspectors at the invitation of the united kingdom will review i hope that's something chemical forensics sick and who will reveal whether it was recently produced it will reveal what's the precursor agents were that were used in it's a manufacture it may be able to tell us whether it was done in the laboratory in a small quantity or was it it's something that was produced in won't won't it that is now well done saying is that we have to wait for the study of information to come out to make a much more informed judgment what politicians do is what politicians do they speak and they are very loud in their tree on both sides well mrs anderson we have to take a short break but we'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. around

the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers always trying to repress the population in one way or another recall the global insurrection against banker occupation we've been saying this for years on the shelf so now we're going to look at it from the puerto rican perspective they are similarly being oppressed by the overlords of finance and they are reacting in a very specific puerto rican way. apply to many plops over the years so i know the game and so i got its. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of. us expenditure to the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else other because i want to share what i think what i know. but the beautiful day

a great symbol for trans. peace it's going to. welcome back to worlds of by the vision called centers they had of the trench a research initiative dedicated to the future of his armaments this is anders just before the break we were talking about various allegations leveled against russia by the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson and one of the claims he made was that for the past decade russia has been pursuing some sort of clint dustin nerve agent program which if that's the case would be a definite violation of the chemical weapons convention. and from what i know the convention actually allows britain and any other country any other signatory to

pursue a formal inspection if they have any intelligence or any suspicions why do you think britain hadn't pursued dot through it before the strategy incident insults very well the particular allegation of production and maintaining a no virtual call program was surprised to be monday impression was always that while russia had declared the program it was. told me they did and the stocks also were disorder afterwards so. that's because it to the conflicts with what were you standing was no internals of your p c w procedures. when. the british prime minister made her statement to all of us last week the way it is being. it basically suggests that this was initiated of the

procedure under article one of the chemical weapons convention that's particular article for consultations now as you have already told me several times and as everybody has been witnessed that was what a discreet maneuver it was one that was carried over to media of waves and put very loudly and there for the critical part in article nine is a paragraph or two which is the request for clarification and if i. understand it correctly it is bitter precisely that that your foreign minister mr glover of has been asking for. thinking because this is the first that particular provision of the chemical weapons convention is being invoked or may be invoked it has not yet been invoked my impression is that logan is going to wait

for the results from the c.w. tests or the samples that they will take with them to have an a-list and independent laboratories where these that information comes in i think it may be possible that long is going to initiate article two to seek clarification and that's a very formal process in which countries must respond within very precise deadlines indicated in the article you mentioned. the speech that that theresa may gave before the problem and that she used a very interesting wording to describe the substance offered type developed by russia not produced just developed so. my take i may be biased by the russian propaganda by my take is that she's talking about the historic origins of that substance and just last year we had another very high profile and nerve agent poisoning of the half brother to the north korean leader at the kuala lumpur

airport he was poisoned with the use of the v. x. nerve agent we was originally developed by british scientists back in the one thousand fifty's if we use the same logic here do you think it would be correct to attribute that attack to the united kingdom because it was carried out with the use of an agent that was of a type a region and originated in the united kingdom to also the very first part of your question in russia as you have already indicated in several of your questions people who make a very sharp distinction. between the period before december of ninety one when the soviet union that broke up and the period of the words in the west in general people are going to make that particular distinction sharply even if people would be immediately of them so. if the word russia is used they

refer to a lawyer that would be almost synonymous with the soviet union however to come to your second point of which is very good to question the difference with. the choke is a while it was discovered just the german nerve agents of from before and during the second world war a spark of. this. agent was adopted by many countries including the soviet union a sport of its chemical warfare arsenal with the movie choke up with are there is only one of coventry the soviet union that is associated with a. particular approach it so the differences that the for her and the way of producing is widely know has been used by many contests and is discussed in quite a bit of. if you were to research the scientific data bases for

literature on the overture so far have come up with one single paper. losses for d o p c the mr sanders with all due respect the creator of this very nerve agent has immigrated to the united states is on record in several interviews actually saying that the weapon could have been synthesised in any country by highly skilled professionals and he publicly i mean he published a formula in his own book i think twelve or perhaps fifteen years ago i understand that does not exclude russia from the least of possible suspects but i would think that it also increases or broadens the number of. potential alternative explanations don't you think so well. as with the. information is widely available and you may recall today is the anniversary of

the attack by who should we kill in the tokyo underground. and also prepare and try to assassinate a number of people who if that were those saying is this for real is the new both states laboratories and the program literature with a movie choke isn't if mr. publish the structures of. in his book so far there is no independent scientific verification of that. people who are trying to understand what the searcher was and synthesis. in small quantities as part of their research that never came up with the formula indicated in the bio be submitted saotome now many in moscow from what i know are skeptical that novacek was used in the first place because this particular group of nerve

agents are described as highly toxic and extend to instantaneous in their action if the cripple family was indeed targeted by another chuck isn't it perplexing to your at least that barest reported to be a life well that's part of the mystery of the story and it's a very good question so far we have received no information which version of the movie was used we must be conceived of a family of nerve agents or which of a number of similarities but there are over one hundred chemical structures believed to be part of the family three were very advanced in their development for military purposes and to the best of my understanding is well over was a salute so it would have to be disseminated as a powder and the one version was

a liquid and one version was in other words the two final precursors still have to react with each other to make the final version now we have no information yet as to whether the agent used in the nation a town was a solid or a liquid if it would've been a solid that it's almost impossible that an individual did it however at the same time it would explain why there are no witnesses who have said they saw somebody attacking. because such a person if it would have been a liquid or a liquid spray would have had to wear gloves protective equipment gas mask and so forth right now. love the hope of circulating in the western media i do with if it's true but actually was delivered through different emotions system or for his or. just a solid a solids is difficult to absorb in the body and it would take

longer to explain why they were still able to walk for such a distance and of course once they go to the medication. from the womb medication the may have been a lot of so again we have to know what the basic facts or before we can say anything serious about possible scenarios you know we had murray on there to recently he's a former you can bastard to his back to stan and one of the biggest skeptics of the case official narrative and he raised an interesting point he said that if what boris johnson salves is true that russia has indeed have has had this clandestine program trying to develop nova chuck it must have spent millions of dollars on it why then blow it all on assassinating one person and his daughter who russia itself released to the british authorities eight years ago i understand that

many people in the west perhaps believe that the russians are absolutely brazen and evil but. it doesn't seem to make sense from an economic point of view re are not such a rich country to you know spend the millions of dollars on assassinating just one person doesn't doesn't that seem in can go into. this is highly speculative going to call into what the british ambassador said i would just repeat to preview spoon i was extremely surprised when the british foreign secretary mr johnson made the allegation of the. program of infants who can go for chips to the best of who. has spoken with many russian people diplomats. newer officials over the years to the best of my knowledge of the program had to go on the way side of the plea so i am surprised of this is. to say and finally mr zandi is the british narrative has

been changing quite a bit first to recent may suggest that that it was possible that the russians were a negligent and lost control of the of these stocks boris johnson directly accused of plotting a putin of ordering be a fascination now the narrative shifting towards a russia bad behavior in general you made it clear that you tend to believe the u.k. government more than you believe there are government but i wonder if the way this story has been changing has raced any skepticism in your own mind look the accusations go all of direct involvement of of mr putin and so will this is something really leave for the responsibility of the person who don't want to get involved in that i have. relations with a number of russian people questions of disarmament last november i was invited by

. the russian foreign ministry to attend the meeting in sochi on biological weapons disarmament. cultures have interests we try to work of full disarmament to try to bring people together so that chemical biological weapons are eliminated we knew that states have interests there these interests may look this is. my personal preferred interests of the would be today the work of the things of them experiencing is that i do very quickly polarized in the media particularly also in the social media they did their own lives. now all the theorists hope offices heard about the use of the assassination to ninety five to ninety eight percent for an incredible what i will to look at or

what the basic facts is the basic facts are that we know very little the word is very open at least in my mind as you know it will soon approaches very seriously if one wants to let the mechanism start or a variable through the chemical weapons convention played a role in conflict mediation then i think we have to look at the facts and the procedures worked out to affordability at the much lower level florist n.p.r. hear it right while mr sanders i have nothing to add to that i really think that we owe all deserved to get the facts about the survey regardless of who is the paper traitor of this horrendous attack because if it was indeed a chemical weapon used on the streets of salisbury i am absolutely sure that most of the russians would be absolutely appalled by that regardless of why there are not that government was a wall anyway we have to leave it there really appreciate your time and i also

encourage our viewers to keep the conversation going on our social media pages as for me hope to syria again same place same time here on worlds apart. desperate for a single purpose. of a super. star training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

violent clashes in paris where police have used water cannons against stone throwing protesters but the nationwide strike against president reforms. the u.k.'s prime minister says that russia is a threat that doesn't respect borders again accusing moscow poisoning perform a double agent may arrives in brussels for the european council summit. as the son of libya's former leader moammar gadhafi runs for president we speak exclusively to saif gadhafi. and the situation we have in libya now is the result of the destruction of state institutions not only the top in libya.

roadmap to become a democratic sovereign state. with the cd my name is neil harvey you're watching international. france crown to a halt today amid a nationwide strike public sector workers students railway employees they were protesting a range of. shoes from low wages to job losses thirty percent of flights to and from paris was counseled many schools were closed major cities like marcell leon around ten thousand people took to the streets while in paris there were twice as many in the capital and elsewhere there were violent clashes between protesters and police.

want to you know we are not here to be violent we are here to protest democratically against the liberal politics of macron wanted by the candidate without m.r. we disagree with the government we can accept this reforms that's why we are always here with our school system most like of course the promises he made i think it's absolutely not been fulfilled. the clashes between police and protesters in paris have been getting more violent throughout the day protesters threw rocks at officers who responded with water cannon on the show the devinsky was at one of the protest sites. thousands of people have been marching in paris on this day over national strikes they couldn't hear now at the fast steel where they're trying to make their voices heard to the government of president michael saying they're unhappy with many of the ideas of his

e ministration including that she cut one hundred and twenty thousand jobs in the five years if he's a president see people say they're unhappy with the working conditions and they want to make sure they're poor he says loud and clear there haven't been some violent confrontations during this day strike in paris now where police clashed with the protesters some suggesting that the police had used extreme violence and some of the protesters had been injured this is a nationwide day strike to the many parts of the country getting the bowl from the civil servants to the right we start to students who are here to voice their concerns with this current administration this is actually only so the first over thirty seven days of strikes by the railways these strikes again take place over the next few months until the end of june the way we were just saying this is the

only way that they can get a voice is heard and they will speak directly with the government about changes that are proposed to their line of work they've also been mass cancellations in terms of planes today and of course many schools have been closed as have been affected. service because of this strike charlotte. r.t. paris. paris is the only friend city the clashes between protesters and police on. water coming in to gas demonstrators. and flares that officers. u.k. defense ministry has now found it solved drawn into the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic and i just to remind you that firm allegedly harvested the personal data of tens of millions of facebook users and exploited that information for political gain now it's been revealed cambridge analytic is parent company s c l group used

to be on the payroll of the u.k. defense ministry provided said ministry with psycho social research at a cost of almost two hundred thousand pounds and he was even granted access to secret government files is chris nine and from the stop the war coalition who says the revelations are alarming. i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is in gage's in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money on. the kind of propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying

revelation. facebook's chief executive mark zuckerberg has for the first time commented on the scandal surrounding the social network it was revealed the personal details of millions of its customers we used to influence elections in a lengthy facebook apology zuckerberg detailed exactly what went wrong with privacy policies and what steps have been taken to solve the problem you noted that the company quote will learn from this experience to make the community safer for everybody going forward. but despite the fact the scandal concerns an american tech giant and a data mining company with offices in new york london and washington there's still been attempts in the media to tie this story to russia with more is artie's more i guess the of. imagine being a liberal a democrat and being stuck in a trump presidency for a year is it must be horrible waking up every day guessing that what russia

is songe bots or hackers have cooked up today cambridge analytic i had powerful connections to candidate trump including one time top adviser steve bannon and billionaire donor robert mercer so presidential son in law jared cushion or and consultant brad parr scale brought in the company which is now accused of utilizing data from fifty million facebook users without permission facebook was how trump was going to win wait a sec something's wrong where's the bad guy who do we blame this on. there it is questions are also swirling about a possible link to russian metal cambridge c.e.o. reached out to julian a songs of wiki leaks seeking access to e-mails from hillary clinton's private server there's no evidence ricky leaks had such information but wiki leaks was releasing e-mails from the computers of other democrats which

authorities say were hacked by russians and another trump advisor roger stone great innings i actually communicated with this what how do you even make the connection what's your logic if someone speaks to a songe their russian agent there is zero connection here other than the word russia being in every other sentence there is only one explanation c n n's report must have been put together by a random generator literally this explanation makes more sense than cnn's report asaad just the dia and see oil trump the russians cambridge had because we've got the keywords just fill this. he says with whatever he also directly message a russian hacker he says he did nothing wrong and despite another claim that cambridge had ties to

a russian oil company the campaign insists there were never any links to russia are you comfortable that the trunk campaign through their cameras analytical had a connection to wiki leaks. they did have a connection or wiki leaks let me demonstrate if you are of average height and your birthday is in july you are closely tied to. see how easy it is let's do this again if you like snow and the russians like snow you are aligned with russia or if you want lots of money and all the guards have lots of money you are susceptible to russian influence it's all nonsense but who cares it's about getting the key words out there about confusing and confounding not explaining or investigating key words people key words

the russians everywhere. britain's prime minister has branded russia threats that doesn't respect borders she's in brussels for an e.u. council summit where the poisoning of a former russian agent in the u.k. is likely to be high on the agenda is more his r.t. speak to all of. briggs it has taken something of a back seat for theresa may as she has taken part in the first day of the european council summit in brussels drumming up support for a united e.u. message against russia has been what she's been about on thursday she had strong words entering the this summit we can hear what you have to say right now russia staged a brazen and reckless attack against the united kingdom when it is tempting to the murder of two people on the streets of seoul spring i'll be raising this issue with my counterparts today because it's clear that the rough.
