holding out talk count. i think joining us so far for the weekly on the international the script case has taken another twist with the russian diplomats leaving a number of countries in europe and in america more on that after a very quick. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line when they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. get to going to the press this is what before korean people. i'm interested in the ones in the. question. when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure.

of a greater problem in haiti and that greater problem is imperialism problem is debt dependency. that haiti has had to deal with since it became the first. free republic ruled by black people since eighty zero four. thanks for joining us for the weekly here on r.t. international and other news this week the diplomatic spat over the script on russian staff have left the consulate the american diplomatic workers have been seen leaving the u.s. mission and some petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday it comes after moscow's announcement to expel sixteen u.s.

envoys and shut down the diplomatic compound a reciprocal response. explains. the measures include the. number of u.s. diplomats. since for the u.s. consulate petersburg as a result the states are concerned we will give amir a response for every russian diplomats kicked out from the two dozen or so countries one of their diplomats will be kicked out of russia almost one of those countries by the way i the nato members hopefuls the united states though may have to charter a jet sixty diplomats have been ordered to leave russia the same kicked out by washington you know what the u.s. consulate in st petersburg is being closed down in response to the close. of russia's consulate in seattle and nearest spawn's no more no less and again

moscow has called on the united states to stop it is proposed to us south already s. inciting in fueling this merican pain against our country to rethink incurred their reckless actions destroying bilateral relations with russia which remain clear denies any role in this poisoning says never before have we witness such mockery of international law it is also convened a special meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons would be c.w. has sent technical experts to examine the substance with which the former russian double agent and his daughter were poisoned but their best a geisha will be technical o.p.c. w. experts have arrived in london to analyze the substance used in the alleged poisoning of surrogate and you'll a script how this will only allow them to distinguish the chemical formula of the substance the o.p.c. w.

technical secretariat doesn't have the mandate it's a very fine of the u.k.'s allegations by the way the investigation into the case is still ongoing the u.k. and its allies insist that russia was behind this russia then eyes any such thing and says that this entire fair is politically motivated there's been no investigation no trial no evidence only accusations which have taken a turn for the literary it's rather like the beginning of crime and punishment in really crime. i know man he was a tree full of hours at this point. where all the confidence about the identity of the culprit the only question is whether he will first confess or be caught specially for boris johnson the dusty esky quote translated in english from a hundred tributes you can not make

a horse one hundred suspicions don't make it proof boris johnson went on to cement his case they make novacek we make light statements one is a hideous weapons specifically designed for assassination the other is a implausible theatrical prep with a mysterious buzz plenty would know anybody opinion is divided on what exactly boyish johnson meant or how exactly he hoped this would help his case so i take a closer look at how the u.s. state department's handling the script case and its for doubt. when the u.k. tells us that they have proof that they know russia was responsible we have every reason to believe them. and seeing their proof their evidence their proof i have i do not know i certainly

. want to remind you that there is no justification for the russian response. would be the adult thing to do well be the right thing to do by war and in fact asking them to you know admit to something that they say that they did and you know what there is nothing wrong with that minute admitting wrongdoing. you don't have to tell them or anybody what exactly they did to abuse their purpose i mean who are they jumping the subway turnstile themselves i mean. i hear you're being funny and i'm not sure i understand you through sixty of their people we don't see this as a diplomatic tit for tat the american diplomats who are being expelled are not. spies under diplomatic cover i'm saying that they work for the u.s. state department they are colleagues who have served there with great distinction

but you but you're saying that these your your action was justified there is wasn't because these people aren't the equivalent of lax i think we're forgetting what got us to this place suggesting that the russian spies offering the united states and those leaders those that are clearly or how do you know these specific sixty people that would that would be an untold fact i mean at. the answer you wanted intelligence information data can give you that. russia has long arms russia has lots of tentacles we imagine that they will continue to have an interest in our elections but also many other nations elections . and other development is that you are. awake and talking this should hopefully provide clues to the poisoning investigation which as you know is still ongoing meanwhile russia's foreign ministry has called on the u.k.

to respond to fourteen key questions. a presentation that sums up the basis for why the us and hop of the e.u. back to britain's expulsion of russian diplomats was a leaked this week with old six focusing on accusations against moscow they describe. while blaming russia for the. cold evidence includes claims of previous malign activity by moscow such as for example the.

crimea for raising awareness about the case the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman expressed surprise at that response. yes all the dogs from supposes that love to we drew the attention to the publication of this presentation materials in the media and the british foreign office thanked us on their twitter account imagine that they've ignored for diplomatic notice we send them they haven't informed us on the state of the russian ational are in they have given us no information they say that they feel there is no reason to duck to russia but they saying to us on twitter that this is a coordinated political warfare against russia it's global in scale and really has nothing to do with solsbury this is a political pretext just like the cut like the kind of accusations we've seen against syria on chemical weapons to ratchet up the pressure on moscow to discredit the recent russian election and also i think it's aimed at the world cup this

summer look i don't think we go under and underestimate the degree of danger we're talking about here this is not just tit for tat there's just not the are we in a new cold war or not this is extremely dangerous that with the crisis that is brewing internally within the e.u. i think there was the necessity to to somehow shift the terms of the debate to say it's not about what's wrong with brussels what's wrong with the e.u. it's what's wrong with the russians and i think this will simply increase the pressure on countries like bulgaria like austria who don't don't want to go along with this this is an international thank you for sharing some of your sunday with us here in moscow more of the weekly at the top of the hour.

on the net about the law and they have a man with their grandmother among the numbers a. number who know but oh november a bit of us in the eyes of them that i don't know what about none of it. and it is about. all. alone and welcome to all the part of the british a third has explicitly sided poisoning of the former office be agent alexander

litvinenko in london as a circumstantial evidence in this case the russians did it before they will do it again dots the absence of the u.k. allegations against russia but do. and london itself have to keep ability in time and motive for this kind of national character assassination well to discuss that i'm now joined by the father of all eggs are delivered to the. mr is being thank you very much for a time see you for coming to our program the only way this is going to be if you break the difficult conversation probably so i'm sorry i apologize in advance if some of my questions might seem insensitive as far as i know in the days of your son with him at the hospital he basically died in your hands but i will post in your arms.
