12:12 pm
follow the developments relating to the aftermath the tragedy in southern siberia but to remind you today's a national day of mourning for the sixty four lives lost in a shopping center blaze most of those killed were children. was. now in other news the u.k. has just released a new national security strategy naming russia as a threat and accusing it of hybrid warfare so let's get more on this now from the u.k. correspondent and see children he's across the story good afternoon tea so again russia in the firing line. well that's right andrew this national security capabilities review that the british government released today of course does not fail to mention russia it's a fifty two page document that talks about all sorts of threats and issues that the u.k.
12:13 pm
is faced with from cyber attacks to terrorism to crime to increasing all of the possible measures they can take to be able to take steps against all of those threats and this is based off of something that was dubbed the so-called fusion doctrine that is going to put together all levels of communication from intelligence to defense to economic to diplomatic to soft power to be able to try to tackle threats such as including state based threats and undermined international rules based order now among some of the means that the u.k. plans to use it when it comes to soft power is quote investing two hundred ninety one million pounds to twenty twenty in the b.b.c. world service to increase access to trusted news and information and they say that the soft power will be. used to project our values and advance you kate interests and indeed russia is mentioned in this report thirteen times the word
12:14 pm
russian is used nine times and it's being listed among threats such as north korea and iran the document goes on to say that the indiscriminate and reckless use of a military grade nerve agent on british soil was an unlawful use of force by the russian state they talk about a well established pattern of russian state aggression assess a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption including meddling in elections and those are listed along with other acute threats as is being described such as islamic terrorism human trafficking piracy crime and instability. ok thanks and nastia that was and the chocolate there with the latest from london while the measures outlined by britain against russia follow the escalation of the bilateral bilateral spat after the poisoning of double agents a case going to palace to be heard and his daughter in the u.k. the incident in which russia is being implicated took place on march the fourth the
12:15 pm
former russian intelligence agent and british spy together with his daughter were found unconscious in a park bench in the u.k. city of souls authorities say. were poisoned by a nerve agent of a type produced in the soviet union the two is still in a coma moscow denies any involvement in the poisoning and accuses london of a campaign to get russia blamed for let's discuss this a bit further with journalist and broadcaster neil clark who is with us now good evening cine. firstly no surprise i suppose if you following world events that russia should be top of this list but is it justified you think. or told i mean i think it's quite outrageous really because what what what what are the biggest security. of the british public you have used attacks we saw only last may in memphis to the point my interest in riyadh bombings in the west attacks so it's clear that the biggest threat to us ease of attack and yet the british
12:16 pm
government mentioning russia twelve times in its report eight falsely claimed the russian was to blame for the incident we don't have any proof of that yet an actual fact the biggest what is actually causing this threat to the security is the british government's foreign policy its neoconservative foreign policy which is involved but very same jihadists who have terror into the streets of britain in countries like syria and libya to reason why it was the home secretary don't forget when. you had this were allowed to move freely between britain and libya because the british government to government chuckle and so we need to have a proper debate here about who are the real threats and tell you what it's not russia is russia has actually been fighting against these you have the us the. ice is people in syria defeating them there are a same people death to the streets of britain so i think i think everything the other way around i mean you know there are threats of close to home and in the
12:17 pm
foreign policy of the british government eventually we should have a public debate about is all of this but there's no sign there's no hint that that could happen it seems that if people sort of go against the the established line of who did was there quickly shouted down if you look at jeremy corbin for example. oh absolutely at least we got the williams coming out and this report in the times newspaper also the new york times newspaper actually saying that people who are questioning the government now it's. more holes in a slab of swiss cheese to be honest that these people were russian box had to be russian bought so the idea that if you actually dare to question the narrative these days then of course you have an asian or russian box and we have the spectacle of the times defense correspondent actually making people tweeting them to ask the real life people people who follow me on twitter for example how degrading is that i mean this is where at the moment we were going very by state. media and the government working together to create the area about russia which is
12:18 pm
not based on any facts or lines more to much of the two thousand and three of these m.p.'s folks them could once again that the british government coming out there and saying look we've got evidence that iraq has got across does he believe those intelligence services are saying this to me here we are twenty eight see the same thing happening we've got to go to russia so i think we're going to look back and see what's happening to see where we're all is and it's very depressing to see the media which pumped out. in two thousand and three do the same thing today neal always good to talk to you as always unfortunately we've run out of time there but that was a journalist and broadcaster thank you thanks. now meanwhile the power point slides have been revealed which form the basis on which the u.s. and half of the back to britain's expulsion of russian diplomats the six pages of sides to focus on accusations against russia the first slide shows the timeline of how the script our case some forward it the next mainly focuses on the nerve agent
12:19 pm
and the claims that russia was behind the attack without providing any proof of guilt though the so-called evidence includes accusations of previous malign activity by moscow such as cyber attacks alleged interference in international actions and what the presentation calls the occupation of crimea russia's foreign ministry dispersed describe the claim to speculation and branded it an organized political campaign without any evidence and not even presenting any concrete scenario of what's happened london accused russia of poisoning its own citizens to develop a chemical substance never used in russia and organize an extensive political and media campaign it inspired the baseless expulsion of russian diplomats from a number of countries and international organizations and a range of other sanctions are lawful requests to provide samples of the substance used there were ignored what we discussed the situation around the exposed dossier
12:20 pm
with political commentator and journalist john white and the evidence in this dog dorsey two point four is over tapes or thirteen that it would not be sufficient to convict a man of stealing a loaf of bread out of a supermarket it is based on nothing more than speculation and supposition the government in the u.k. and north at this evidence is thin with regards to its claim that russia was a sponsible for the poisoning of sergei scruple and his daughter yulia this is why it's included in a store see it catalogue of alleged other infractions committed by the the russians . meanwhile the british m.p. has lashed out at the head of wiki leaks over the scripts case we'll have a look at that in detail just after the break. dropping bombs brings to the chicken hawks the battle of.

12:23 pm

12:24 pm
first century wire gave us his reaction to the developments. it can only be described as the sort of atmosphere in parliament is descended into a sort of a public school lunchroom rather than this sort of the decorum that you would expect from elected representatives when you're talking about serious matters of state julia saunders only highlighting some of the. discrepancies the hypocrisy. the unanswered questions of this very serious case and the statements coming from this member of parliament really you should read into that is that the state doesn't want people with dissenting views to have platforms and be able to express those if they're in opposition to whatever the official party line is. today does of north korea and china held talks this week during a secret visit by kim jong un to beijing this was kim's first foreign visit since

12:26 pm
china wants to be part of those discussions it does not want to be shut out of those discussions and kim is much stronger going into a meeting with trump if he is seen to have china by its side the key thing that both should impinge on worn on the north korean peninsula is for the u.s. to be out of there you're watching our see thanks for the company tonight we're back with the headlines in half an hour. yes. i. i

12:29 pm
fifty eight others today in orlando florida his widow there were solemn with her future hanging in the balance awaits a jury's decision on whether she obstructed justice and was an accomplice to your husband's heinous crimes as the prosecution alleges or just another living victim overall has been savagery as the defense has argued with omar long dead the public is thirsty for revenge somebody needs to pay for the tragedy. the state is offered up with scenes wife and widow but new evidence revealed during the trial now call into question the f.b.i.'s role and motives and not just the persecution of nor solomon but the nonexistent prosecution of all marma team despite investigating him on two different occasions in the years and months leading up to the attack on sunday it was revealed that all marma teams bothers to dyckman team you remember the one you saw on c.n.n. after the shooting was actually an f.b.i.
12:30 pm
informant for more than ten years and according to the intercept may have influenced the f.b.i. decision not to investigate his son prior to the shooting the intercepts trevor aaronson observes that the f.b.i. files provided the solomons defense lawyers suggest that agents consulted with seems father in his capacity as an informant during the first assessment raising questions about whether saddam mateen helped persuade f.b.i. agents to close out an inquiry that could have prevented the deadly terrorist attack so it appears that once again the f.b.i. may have clearly dropped the ball on preventing tragedy like they did recently with parklane shooter nicholas cruz charleston shirt shooter dylan roof boston bomber talents are enough we want to go back to that you know it. makes me wonder is is is we know to every seeing a trend here let's find out and start watching the hawks.
