he had lines the u.k. is accused of going too far and it says russia's foreign minister put it over the poisoning of a. daughter in britain. also this hour militants are on the move in the syrian city of duma. thousand people left the area on sunday following an evacuation deal with rebel groups. of protests at the gaza border which is left seventeen dead and more than a thousand injured. so far as from the turkish media. hate 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. the

second. the russian foreign minister says 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 is now british colleagues have gone too far with this game just a school shooting let's go back to the start then what did mr rove have to say 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 yulia is recovering and he's also said that he hopes that her father is on the mend too also he has stressed that russia still has

a lot of questions that 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 those questions include some technical details that russia has inquired to the c.w. asking them 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 turn will be sharing that with russia bush has been asking these questions since day one since this whole incident took place which is what to get any answers to that well 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. in the booty of our british colleagues to answer 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 put in everything on moscow because in their in their opinion it seems it's not an investor. into who was behind the assassination attempt but more like how russia did give a direct order to its agents to go and assassinate surrogates for powell and his daughter or whether or not russia just lost track of the nerve agent mr. bush is going to respond to those claims well he said that russia has no motive in this russia that for at least a decade russia has no beef with the script because in two thousand and turned that's when the double agents what took place between moscow and london so that

pretty much would close the book on this for russia. for the news coverage even though really four weeks on from all this it's not stop. spinning and spinning the media the reviving the story and they're basically using standard playbook like when you don't know what to say when the seems that everything has slowed down significantly you bring sources have a listen source briefed on the investigation tell 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 the 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 trees are made the prime 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 sophisticated and 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 in a very prefer. tional level if it's if it's professionals who are behind it and in this case it's looks 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 intending to get answers to its questions and so he's hoping to get those as early as wednesday is he going to end up talking to me earlier well geopolitics off or for david swanson says that despite information being scarce the media has already the evidence verdict well it's not in 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 pickle but we just can't know whether the accusations are true or not until we're shown some evidence a number of western countries say the entire world is on their side against russia . patience is wrong they're wearing thin with president putin and his actions we stand with our 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 effort to kill innocent civilians with the banned nerve agent. all right well let's take a look at the global backing the british and the u.k.

officials say that they've got over the nerve agent attack and solve it seems that many of the countries are having their support of nato members but even among them there is still some uncertainty here's david swanson again. 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 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 disagreements and if you get rid of them you're talking about not having

communications other than by means of of military force. evacuation of militants from the syrian city of duma is now on the way according to the russian defense ministry russia earlier announced that a preliminary deal had been reached with the jay shell of a rebel group and that's the one that operating in the city reportedly more than four hundred militants which left him on monday and it's the last rebel stronghold in the besieged area i talked last hour to journalist mohammed ali he's in damascus and he told me the latest on the evacuation. the first batch of. militants to started leaving the town of doom and eastern. according to the syrian state news agency sana 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 will to through and watch the dean campaign exit which is that a couple of kilometers away from from duma and the buses are now lining up at the

outskirts of east on hotel 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 dumont transporting those militants with their families then all together what the final number is set on the outskirts of east on the water they will be heading towards northern syria the border town in the northern countryside 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 europe 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 there is some information that came out to regarding this deal reached with. the in the boonies resistance movement has been low on its social media accounts published some of the items of this deal first the first item is that those militants will be going out 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 ed their individual light weapons like clash in the gulf or something also very important item in the deal is regarding the fate of thousands of both the civilians and on the personnel of kidnapped by just a standard of the past five or six years believe those are believed to be believed to be inside the prisons official stamp particularly and to a prison inside the 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 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 the release of those kidnapped civilians and army personnel and eventually the syrian government will then and tear into the government institutions and establishments 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 duma.

from the egypt. and. the. israel's being slammed for how its military is handling ongoing protests at the gaza border the so-called palestinian march of return of already left seventeen killed more than a thousand injured over the course of three days according to the palestinian health ministry.

different. people. trying.

the annual march of return as a demonstration denouncing what palestinians view as israeli occupation thousands of them have pitched tents across five locations across the gaza border whether expected to stay for the coming weeks while the leaders have condemned israel's actions but they were accused of double standards by the israeli prime minister as daniel hawkins 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 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 child ignore the murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the middle east but when

israel neutralize these sixteen terrorists they convene an emergency meeting of the un security council the i.d.f. will not cooperate with any investigative committee let them investigate the murders of half a million people in syria and tens of thousands in libya sudan 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 spite the catastrophic situation yemen but some world leaders return the focus to friday's brutal violence on the guards of 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 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 month's 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 sound bite. greece health cuts have sparked angry confrontations between protesters and police.

demonstrators tried to force their way into the greek prime minister's residence in athens they say that instead of keeping a promise to the health service the government is effectively dismantling it greases into nearly a decade of often violent protests over the country's economic crisis last week teaches rallied to demand change in their sector. year without a china and the united states set off a new trade war as beijing increases tariffs on american products it's among our stories still ahead after the break. seems wrong. just don't. get to shape. the attic. and it. was betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

like for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game. and the world's two largest economies china and the united states appear to be on

the brink of a new trade well after beijing increased tariffs on more than one hundred american products the measures are in direct response to an american increase on imported steel and out of many and last month the charges target american food products including pork wine and fruit tariffs are expected to increase by up to twenty five percent around three billion dollars a year to beijing and the unstable trade relations have investors rightly worried as u.s. stocks dipped after reopening from the easter holidays but despite the tension donald trump still see china as a friend in dealing with north korea i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president xi they have a great relationship they helping us a lot in north korea. and that's china. first go live now to an international relations lecture at the royal holloway university and london welcome to the program thanks for joining us china says the president trumps tariffs on exports of course serious damage to its interests

china's not alone but it's reacting a similar move from beijing who stands to lose more from this. well i think it's really hard to see i mean the treaty always legard nuclear war everybody's going to lose but if you are talking about a purely number as i think probably china is going to see. it in that china a large amount of trade so us with the us again so i don't really want everybody's going to do is there's no winners in the. mission and this all kicked off when president trump started increasing tariffs on steel and aluminum so this doesn't just include china here how many other countries do you envisage being dragged into this. we'll i mean a few months ago on here and asked. korea korea or like your examples you are the major one who will export a lot steals our nine and really into us and z. probably worries more than china because the other major exporter to the u.s.

market but obviously they have different kind of channels to find you ask trying to weave this kind of power of two one zero country so it's really hard to see but definitely if china on us is going to have a tree towards going to effect. and it's going to affect the global economy at the end of all this though it's not the president for the government paying any of this it's the producers it's the consumers are all going to face higher prices in all this including some of the people who actually put president trump into office in the first place the farmers in the in the business leaders do you get the impression then the president trump will sell out his voter base in order to get what he wants exactly if you look at what's in our are the chinese government find using targets thirty billion u.s. export in china and they specify a target the u.s. agricultural project and wind you harm the u.s. interest by heat trump supporters because it was all states will produce agricultural products like through. a meat and they were the one who supports farm

and they were the ones in trying to the white house so that's a child back in china trying to heart pound like trying supporters in order to see find a better deal with white house how are they going to react there because equally they do agree with president trump in terms of competition and they've got very few tools in their arsenal to be able to compete other than with price do you see them going against president trying to trying to backtrack on this or will they put up with it to an extent. well this is really hard to say because i mean that you kind of do it all just happened a lot this morning so it's always you need to wait and see to see what happens i mean when you would say what are we trying to do now is purely about so it's our threat and ours or maybe it might be some kind of business tax. strategy trying to find a better deal so you know and maybe chinese government under. from me find greenland's and nobody's going to get

a lot of damage from this so it's really worried your leader judge and the provincial consequence of and one might have and your supporters might change your attitude towards the white house then anything we know is this is going to be over for quite some time yet ok to come some from the broader university like the thanks very much for coming on r.t. thank you. next a standoff between italy and france over a border incident seems to be going from bad to worse rome is investigating an alleged incursion by an armed french border patrol at a train station in italy the french ambassador has been summoned over the issue of what rome is keeping a civilized tone so far some italian politicians are not going to mind macron that now foreign agent can come here and assert their authority we are a sovereign country not a province of france we are not micron's toilet on top of expelling russian diplomats we should expel french ones french police do whatever they want on

italian tira true without being disturbed as if they're at home what happened and garden in his grave and shows how our so called friends in europe have little or no consideration for others they had no rights no rights this will be the first and the last time. diplomatic tensions were provoked when french police entered italy to drug test a nigerian passenger on a paris bound train the station where the incident took place is in the town of bottleneck which is known as a staging post for migrants making their way from italy further north french authorities claim they crossed the italian border under a decades old bilateral deal but the italian foreign ministry stresses that it told france some time ago that the station was no longer acceptable because it's now being used by an ngo for humanitarian purposes political science electorate and a renter probably asco who zimbardo neck ears says the french police are in the wrong. the ngo which is running the migrant center in the nikkei by the

way i'm a few hundred metres from there i am in a lot of making right now at the. end declared to the french authorities where you know way acting in an intimidating manner and so this act has been seen by many politicians 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 italian soil what has been said very clearly by italian authorities is that. italian police were not in for by by french customs agent. about your peroration which is against the provisions of the by the national agreements. well this is just the latest migrant related scandal on the french italian border in fact if you've been watching r.t. in recent weeks you have seen this report on a volunteer arrested a few weeks ago for helping a heavily pregnant migrant in the alps. well

we were doing an ordinary patrolling tour as we have regularly done since the beginning of winter to bring aid to people who passed the pass in difficult conditions during this patrol we spoke to the group of people who were walking in snow there we saw that it was a family was two young children and pregnant women we gave them food. in drinks and dry clothes i took my car to take it to the hospital. they are asked for my documents and they catalogued my personal belongings they notified me of a hearing on wednesday and released me at midnight. as you just one of us what if the situation repeated itself tomorrow i would act in the same way i did the right thing. so in excess out thanks very much for watching i'm calling brian i'll have your next a global news update from out internationally moscow in just over half an hour c.n.n. . it's

the cradle of jazz. is america is the america we. know as disc jazz feeling. a city of climatic contest trophies of alligators on the loose of poverty and crime are used by the least swell members of my family close most. of street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans itself and the best place in the world. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's

i'm after a country this time for one of your favorite episodes from the latest season of going underground coming up today is moscow really going to kill thousands of british subjects and to raise a maze defense secretary suggests we ask the russian ambassador to the u.k. about his country's plans to use syria breaks it down trying to destroy british society plus i'll be talking about violence oxfam should george soros intervene in the parks it debate and a sensationalist new book about germany called it the civil war coming up in today's going underground but first whatever you think of yesterday's court decision in london new light has been shed on the case against julian assange one of the usas most wanted whistleblowers or if you believe the boss of the cia an individual threatening the lives of three hundred twenty three million people it's

time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia some might argue that isn't just publishing of cables has contributed to international security by revealing nato war crimes but that belief appears not to be shared by the british crown prosecution service which decides on court action in the name of the queen fighting discredited rape allegations astonished has not until this week been able to determine just how politicized his case is be in because the c.p.s. allegedly destroyed information british prosecutors have reportedly admitted deleting e-mail exchanges with their swedish counterparts we've got in the case of wiki leaks founder julian assange and this happened back in two thousand and fourteen but was it twenty fourteen now confidential e-mails show that swedish prosecutors attempted to drop extradition proceedings against julian assange much earlier and who is the boss of the c.p.s. in twenty third.
