8:01 am
news from r.t. international my name calling brace monday the second of april and it's three pm here in the russian capital first for you this hour the russian foreign minister says the u.k. has gone too far with its accusations over the poisoning of his daughter and would eventually have to provide answers to the questions posed by russia. it will not be possible to get away from the questions. obviously and what else is obvious british colleagues have can see fast with this game which well let's go up to speed on all this now correspondent across what was said a couple of hours ago let's go back to the start then what did mr lavrov have to say well he's talked extensively about the scriptural case first and foremost you of course express said that he's glad that the daughter the getting better and hope the said that he hopes that he. will follow through with the recovery as well soon he's also stressed that russia. still has a lot of questions has asked
8:02 am
a lot of questions to the u.k. into the o.p.c. w. which remains pretty much unanswered those questions include some technical details that russia has inquired to the c.w. asking them what sort of information the u.k. has provided to the un chemical body because this is something that london is not sharing with moscow and whether or not the o.p.c. w. in turn will be sharing that with russia so there's that element of this horrible incident what point does russia expect to get any answers on well in fact russia hopes to get the answers as early as wednesday because this is when the o.p.c. w. is meeting it is a gathering of it has been initiated by moscow and this is when sergei lavrov himself hopes to get some answers have a listen. in the belittling of our british colleagues to answer the questions only one think it's a work of fiction and be more specific. it's.
8:03 am
his calling this is a provocation mainly because the block of countries who seem to agree who is behind the assassination attempt for them the investigation is not about who did it but more like how russia did it did putin directly ordered his agents to poison sergei or did just russia of lose track of the highly poisonous and deadly nerve agent as mr lavrov said anything about how those claims are going to be addressed well the russian foreign ministry ministers simply said that russia has no motive to try and kill its former agent in fact russia has no beef with scruple he said not to for two decades now because since since the double agent swap with the u.k. which took place in two thousand and ten despite all the news coverage still keeping the spinning with just supposition and innuendo well yes media the media the keep the story going the kind of keep the flames under the. under this story
8:04 am
because so the e.u. for example look at one of the examples how they are doing this for example at this you know. source briefed on the investigation tells c.n.n. they believe a move like that was too sophisticated for a rogue agent and likely needed kremlin approval well first and foremost it's not exactly clear why they need to cite a source an unnamed official in the u.k. government because this information this idea of the attack being so sophisticated that only a government could be behind it we've heard from to reason may and boris johnson both the u.k. prime minister and the foreign minister. weeks ago really saw sergey lavrov address that saying that how how is it possible that the you first you call this attack a sophisticated a deadly and you know miss chivas. you know planned while first and not only there's no one dead in the attack but those who were affected and those the
8:05 am
supposed targets. in fact getting better they are recovering so a lot of questions and the answers more school expects the answers as early as wednesday ok we'll see what their p.c. w. has to say in a couple of days' time though for now though it should and of thanks very much for that. geo political attacks offer david swanson says that despite the information being scarce the media has already delivered its verdict well it's not a judicial procedure this is not something brought to arbitration this is not the world court this is an accusation through the media and so russia is not being told very much and the public is not being told very much and of course that makes many of us sceptical but we just can't know whether the accusations are true or not until we're shown some evidence of some western leaders are also claiming that the entire world is almost side against russia what's patience is wrong they're wearing saying with president putin and his actions we stand with our
8:06 am
british allies and the rest of the civilized world in denouncing the brazen and brutal chemical attack carried out against the united kingdom it has become clear that russia is behind this put to kill innocent civilians with the banned nerve agent so let's take a look at the world as the u.k. and u.s. officials put it the countries that support britain's position on the nerve attack nerve agent attack it seems that much about backing comes from nato members not even all of them it's something we discussed with david swanson as well. ok well i think they think of themselves as the world the international community which is always just a handful of nations that calls itself that but you know in the united states here we've become very used to baseless accusations against russia and so some of us are very skeptical regardless of the position taken by our governments we can't know whether an accusation is true or not until they show us some evidence and rather
8:07 am
than showing us some evidence they're working on expelling diplomats and pressuring other countries to expel diplomats which seems like a way to cut off communications or you diplomats jobs are to interact when there are disagreement. if you get real you're talking about not having communication so do it by means of military force. israel is being slammed for how its military is handling ongoing protests of the gaza border the so-called march of return has already left seventeen killed and more than a thousand others injured over the weekend according to the palestinian health ministry.
8:08 am
different. people demonstrating. the wall of. water trying to fight for drop. the annual march of return as a demonstration denouncing israeli occupation thousands of palestinians have pitched tents across five locations where they're expected to stay for the coming weeks well the leaders have condemned israeli actions but were interred accused of double standards by the israeli prime minister as daniel hawkins explains this
8:09 am
isn't the first incident of mass palestinian casualties in clashes with the i.d.f. tragically it won't be the last the border violence had barely stopped before the criticism of israel's actions came. thick and fast from all directions the u.n. secretary general was quick to call for a full investigation he used foreign affairs chief wasn't far behind israel though is having none of it the army was doing its job if anything the soldiers that fired live bullets into the crowd deserve a medal according to the country's defense minister and investigation no chance they'd nor the murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the middle east but when israel neutralize a sixteen terrorists they can been in the mergence emitting of the un security council the i.d.f. will not cooperate with an investigative committee let them investigate the murders of half a million people in syria and tens of thousands in libya sit down and yemen no
8:10 am
punches polled and some may say he does have a point multiple e.u. states have taken part in nato or u.s. led interventions in libya and syria which have contributed to civilian losses and of course they also continue to arm saudi arabia that's the spite that catastrophic situation yemen but some world leaders return the focus to friday's brutal violence on the gaza border with president the one branding it an inhumane attack and prime minister netanyahu didn't let this go on answered the most moral army in the world will not be lectured by those who had indiscriminately bomb civilian populations for years apparently this is how april fool's day celebrated an anchor on a thinly veiled reference to turkey's tough line on kurdish groups who are unable to terrorists or perhaps the turkey's ongoing military operations in northern syria triggering a further response from the turkish president. hate netanyahu you're an occupier and it is as an occupier that you are on those lands at the same time you
8:11 am
are a terrorist and the e.u. itself wasn't exempt from the turkish president's rhetoric don't throw stones from a glass house. one month a terrorist is another man's freedom fighter is an older dog but today it seems human life has become less valuable than political expediency or a good soundbite journalist max blumenthal who's written extensively on the israeli palestinian conflict says that it looks like netanyahu and i do out of blaming each other for basically the same things. slightly amused by the denunciations exchange five between benjamin netanyahu and the turkish leader. on. both are accusing one another of massive human rights crimes and both are correct that one another has committed gigantic human rights crimes netanyahu in gaza name against the palestinian people in general in order one now enough. in syria i
8:12 am
compared this spat between netanyahu in order one to the two thousand and four film alien versus predator were two monsters battle one another to the death and you know in real life as i mentioned netanyahu in order to one are cooperating below the surface neither man can claim the moral high ground so both are basically bottom battling from the moral depths of depravity the evacuation of militants from the syrian city of duma in eastern going to stop it that's according to russia's defense ministry russia earlier announced that a preliminary deal had been reached with d.j. shell the rebel group which operates in the city so far more than one hundred minutes and seven left him up the last rebel stronghold in the pussy today area.
8:13 am
the gun control debate in the united states is gaining momentum with conservative folks news host nora and groom essentially forced off by a boy called chuckling because the details the bigger they are the harder they fall a lesson that one of the most popular host on fox news the most watched cable news
8:14 am
network in the us is learning the hard way over a dozen of laura ingram's top advertisers have pulled their commercials from her program and fox's the week off the host is now taking was preplanned but many think it may have something to do with seventeen year old david hogg he is one of the survivors of the parklane school shooting and is practically a household name in america at this point this is the start of spring and the blossoming of our democracy. because since the tragedy he's become one of the leaders of the student led gun reform movement that's took the nation by storm between t.v. appearances and mass protests hogs face everywhere joining me now from parklane florida a senior david hogg he survived the shooting david thank you for being with us guys it is so great to have you both back on the show more people died in america as a result of gun violence and they have fighting in war it's not time for debate it's time to work together let's put the usa over the n.r.a. in a recent interview hog mentioned that he had been rejected by a number of universities and for some unknown reason ingram decided to mock the
8:15 am
student online belittling his grade point average and told him to stop whining now in a different day and age with different players the whole thing may have gone unnoticed but hog who now has over seven hundred thousand twitter followers chose to use his way to successfully get in rooms and advertisers to boycott her show she's only apologizing after a third of her advertisers pulled out and i think it's really disgusting the fact that she basically tried promoting her show after apologizing or apologizing to me from a tweet that she made. she is she may very well never come back again that's the power of this this is a buyout eighty group of people who have been almost a knowing kid as on touchable this is professional professional plan and organized the democrats don't have any issues they have this one
8:16 am
they don't like trump that's that's their platform but this is the only thing that counts as an issue. they hate guns they hate gun owners a. gun manufacturers this isn't going anywhere and the laura ingram fox news story may change but it will manifest in transmute into a new issue before you know it and frankly his attack against iran makes perfect sense as there is no what's lost between her and the left we may be witnessing a turning point in the american political climate outspoken leftist voices like hog and his fellow activists were more or less sidelined they were just the angry kids mad that their agenda was not passing through god now they have a powerful movement and a lot of momentum behind them that they're clearly not afraid of using and their cause is getting the attention and support of a number of democratic heavyweights including hillary clinton barack obama and even
8:17 am
bernie sanders as well let me especially think the young people at the high school in pok lynn florida who are dealing with their grief by standing up and fighting back for many trump was seen as the voice of the people everyday americans whose concerns were often ignored by those in washington but today a lot of voice has taken center stage. you know we got international in the way italy and france get into a raul over a police incursion of the border over migrants while china or america are on the verge of coming to economic blows in a looming trade war the details when we come back.

a paris bound train the station where the incident took place in the town of bottleneck you know which is known as a staging post for migrants making their way from italy further north french authorities claim they crossed the a tally and border under a decades old bilateral deal but the italian foreign ministry stresses that it told from some time ago that the station was no longer accessible because it's now being used by an engine go for humanitarian purposes political science electorate lorenzo printing asco who's in. the french police are in the wrong the ngo which is running the migrant center in the next year by the way in a few hundred metres from there i am invited making right now at the. end declared the french authorities where you know way acting in an intimidating manner and so this act has been seen by many flotations and i would say by a large portion of the time in public opinion as an act of defiance a kind of violation of sovereignty on italians for what has been said very clearly
