9:01 am
watching this monday the second of april it's four pm here in moscow my name calling brian this is your world news update from our senior international first off the russian foreign minister says that the u.k. has gone too far with its accusations over the poisoning of his daughter i'm going to eventually have to provide answers to the questions posed by russia. beauty of that if you will not be possible to get away from answering the questions since the obvious now and what else is obvious colleagues have gone too far with this game. but across all this for us is correspondent igor done over come back again to go take us from the start then what's mr lavrov been saying this afternoon well he's focused in detail on everything going on in this case first and foremost he said that he's very glad that the daughter of the russian citizen newly recovering and he's also said that he hopes that her father on the mend to also he has stressed
9:02 am
that russia still has a lot of questions that he it has asked repeatedly but which remain unanswered pretty much russia even wrote an official mail an official letter to the o.p.c. w. the u.n. chemical watchdog which is sort of shares the investigation into the assassination attempt to those technically those questions are rather technical they are there and they include what information the u.k. has passed to the u.n. nobody regarding the investigation because this is something that london is refusing to share with moscow and whether or not the o.p.c. w. in its turn will be sharing with moscow russia's been asking these questions since day one since this horrible incident took place where does russia hope to get any answers to any of these quest while in fact russia is hoping to get some answers as early as this wednesday because this is when the o.p.c. w. members are meeting and this is a summit initiated by russia so this is why sergei lavrov hopes to get at least something out of the u.n. body on wednesday. the beauty of our colleagues to answer
9:03 am
the questions you want it's a work of fiction and be more specific. products and so in general the russian foreign minister has expressed concern about the bloc of countries who seem to have agreed to pin everything on moscow because in their in their opinion it seems it's not an investigation into who is behind the assassination attempt but more like how russia did or did give a direct order to its agents to go and assassinate surrogates cripple and his daughter or whether or not russia just lost track of the nerve agent and did mr lavrov have anything to say about how russia's going to respond to those claims well he said that russia has no motive in this that russia the for at least a decade russia has no beef with the word because in two thousand and ten that's when the double agents what took place between moscow and london so that that's
9:04 am
pretty much what closed the book on this for russia. in terms of the news coverage even though we're really no further forward weeks on from all this it's really not stopped the headlines spinning and spinning has a look at the media the reviving the story and they're basically using their standard playbook like when you don't know what to say when the seems that everything has slowed down cygnus slowed down significantly you bring sources have a listen. also 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 so when you are citing a source it means it means that you have some inside information from in this case from the investigation and it's not clear why this c.n.n. needed exactly this in this particular situation because linking the kremlin directly to the assassination attempt is something that both reason may the prime
9:05 am
minister and boris johnson the foreign secretary have been saying for a long time now so it's not exactly some classified some under under the carpet sort of information and so also another point that they're making is the attack they say was only a government could be behind behind it so. how come it is a sophisticated attack and if it is sophisticated it's supposed to be performed and carried out on a very high level on a very professional level if it's if it's professionals who are behind it and in this case it's very sloppy because both targets are not just alive but the getting better they're recovering so russia is indeed intending to get its its questions answered into ending to get answers to its questions and so hoping to get those as early as wednesday yet let's hear more from the a p c w by them for now the question of thanks very much for that. next this hour israel's being slammed

different. people demonstrating. trying to. fight. the annual return as a demonstration denouncing what palestinians view as israeli occupation thousands of them have pitched tents across five locations along the gaza border where they're expected to stay for the coming weeks well the leaders have condemned israel's actions but they've been accused of double standards by the israeli prime minister as daniel hawkins now explains. this 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
9:08 am
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 is that 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's down and yemen no 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 spike there catastrophic situation in yemen but some old leaders return the focus to friday's
9:09 am
brutal violence on the gaza border with president at 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 terrorists or perhaps the turkey's ongoing military operations in northern syria triggering a further response from the turkish president. hey netanyahu you're an occupier and it is as an occupier that you are on those lands at the same time you 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 man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter is an old the doj but today it seems human life has become less valuable than political

expediency or a good soundbite. increased health sector cuts of spark angry confrontations between protesters and police. i. demonstrators tried to force their way into the residence of the greek prime minister in athens they say that instead of keeping its promise of trying to enhance the health service the government is effectively dismantling it he says enjoyed many a decade of often violent protests over the country's economic crisis last week teachers are valid to demand change in their sector. the evacuation of militants from the syrian city of duma and he had started to courting to russia's defense ministry and russia earlier announced that a preliminary deal had been reached with the jaish al islam rebel group which operates in the city on sunday more than one hundred militants left which is the
9:11 am
last rebel stronghold in the besieged area right we can talk now to a damascus based journalist. welcome to the program from where you are then in damascus what's the latest that you know on the militant evacuation from duma. yes the latest is that is that in fact the first batch of. militants started leaving the town of doom and eastern. cording to the syrian state news agency at least eight buses with over four hundred individuals on board those include both militants and their families and make up the first batch of already exited eastern of water through. exit which is that a couple of kilometers away or from from and the buses are now lining up at the outskirts of east and water waiting for more and more buses to come out picking up more militants oppositionists them and their families it is expected that at least fifty buses will be exiting from transporting those militants with their families
9:12 am
then all together when the final number is set on the outskirts of easton or what are they will be heading towards most in northern syria the border town. in the northern country sort of a look at this will be the first batch following of course reaching a deal brokered by russia between the syrian army and this particularly militant group they will be heading to shut up most and we have to wait and see what will happen but it seems that now things are going smoothly it has to be noted that the negotiations have been underway for days until reaching this deal as it seems according to reports coming from inside duma there is a kind of division among the group leaders of this militant group on getting out or not but eventually it seems that the deal has been reached and they have started getting out ok and do you know what exactly was in this deal that's been agreed with the rebel groups. yes there is some information that came out to regarding this deal reached with. the in the body's resistance movement has below
9:13 am
on its social media accounts published some of the items of this deal first the first item is that those militants will be going as i told you towards that of course and whether in syria second. militants will have to surrender their heavy and medium weapons to the syrian army before leaving they can only. take with them and their individual white like clash in the gulf are something also very important item in the deal is regarding the fate of thousands of both the civilians and army personnel kidnapped by egyptian in the past five or six years believed those are believed to be believed to be inside the prisons of particularly at a prison inside duma according to that report the deal stipulates that there will be a work team formed and it will be headed by russia and included there will be representatives
9:14 am
of the syrian government and also representatives of states which are guarantors and yes kind of talks meaning iran and turkey on supervising the process of their release. of those kidnapped civilians and army personnel and eventually government will then and or into the government institutions and establishment will be restored normal life will be restored then perhaps humanitarian aid urgent food and medical aid will also be delivered to the civilians inside and those militants who wish to stay and reconcile with the syrian government will be granted amnesty by the government and will be allowed to return back to normal life inside dumont let's hope so thanks for bringing us up to speed on what's happening in. damascus thanks for the. thanks to fox news host and found herself in hot water following a route with one of the most outspoken survivors of a school shooting in florida laura ingram show is facing a boycott from its top advertisers after a mock tweet about the teenager takes up the story. the bigger they are the harder
9:15 am
they fall a lesson that one of the most popular host on fox news the most watched cable news network in the us is learning the hard way over a dozen of laura ingram 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 the 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 hog's face is everywhere joining me now from parklane florida a senior david hogg he survived the shooting david thank you for being with this 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 time for debate it's time
9:16 am
to work together let's put the usa over the n.r.a. in a recent interview haga mentioned that he had been rejected by a number of universities and for some unknown reason ingram decided to mock the 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 hogg who now has over seven hundred thousand twitter followers chose to use this way to successfully get 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 apologizing to me. a group of people who have been almost a knowing kid as on touchable their kids they're victims and they are what they have been through a lot what ever they say whatever the forum whatever they claim it doesn't matter
9:17 am
don't say anything in return the democrats don't have any issues they don't like trump that's their plan the only thing that counts as an issue guns they hate guns they hate gun owners 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 makes perfect sense as there is no wealth 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 including hillary clinton barack obama and even bernie sanders as well let me especially think the young people at the high school in pok in florida who are dealing with their grief by standing up and fighting back for many trump was seen as the voice
9:18 am
of the people everyday americans whose concerns were often ignored by those in washington but today a lot of voice has taken center stage. this is our take on the way it's only in france of course up in a border of raw involving police and migrants while china and america trade economic blows the details when we come back. seemed wrong. wrong just don't hold. me. to say proud just to educate and engage me equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
9:19 am
