top stories the u.k. is accused of going too far in its claims as russia's foreign minister pushes for answers over the poisoning of a former. white house could set the scene for a meeting between. information from a phone call between the two leaders. are on the move in the syrian city of. thousand people left the area on sunday following an evacuation deal with rebel groups. and israel for its military protests of the gaza border which has left seventeen dead and more than a thousand injured the harshest criticism so far is from the turkish. 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. this hour first off the russian foreign minister says the u.k. has gone too far with its accusations over the poisoning of cripple and his daughter i'm going to eventually have to provide answers to the questions posed by russia has some of. which correspondent expounded on with me earlier. beauty of that if you will not be possible to get away from answering the questions since the obvious nails and what else is obvious is now british colleagues have gone too far with this game. the russian foreign minister has a 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 usually is recovering

and he's also said that he hopes that her father on the mend to also he has stressed that russia still has a lot of questions that has asked repeatedly but which remain unanswered pretty much russia even wrote an official mail an official letter to the o.p.c. w. 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 russia's been asking these questions since day one since this horrible incident took place what does russia hope to get any answers to any of these quest will 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 only one thing it's a work of fiction and be more specific. 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 opinion it seems it's not an investigation into who is behind the assassination attempt but more like russia did or did give a direct order to its agents to go and assassinate sergei scrip. powell and his daughter or whether or not russia just lost track of the nerve agent 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 that for at least a decade russia has no beef with the world because in two thousand turned that's when the double agents what took place between moscow and london so that that's

pretty much what closed the book on this for russia and 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 printing and spinning out of 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 mation also another point that they're making is the attack was sophisticated and only a government could be 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 professional level if it's professionals who are behind it and in this case it looks very sloppy because both targets are not just alive but the getting better

they are recovering so russia is indeed intending to get its its questions answered into ending to get answers to its questions and so he's hoping to get those as early as wednesday. that geopolitics author david swanson says that despite information being scarce the media's 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 even so a number of western countries say the entire world is on their side against russia what's patients is wrong for 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 put to kill innocent civilians with the banned nerve agent. so let's take a look at that global backing the british and american officials say they have over the nerve agent attack insult it seems many countries showing 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 of 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 that 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. what's going on right now between russia and the west there could be some more positive news on the horizon in washington in the white house could host a meeting between the u.s. and russian presidents let's go live to washington d.c. now. is there do we know any specifics of this point. well here are the details of between last month's phone call between president trump and president putin back on march twentieth when donald trump called to quote congratulate president putin on his win this move was criticized by the american media and at that time a bilateral meeting was planned but today we learned that the that the conversation

also included an invitation from trump for put in to visit washington d.c. but just as a reminder the phone call happened before the u.s. decided to expel sixty russian diplomats over the poisoning of a russian expert with russia being blamed for it of course now russia have responded in a tit for tat measure announcing the expulsion of sixty u.s. diplomats and the kremlin said that no meeting preparations have been made at this time but according to president putin's aide the white house was discussed as one of the possible venues now the two have only met in person once before last summer at the g. twenty summit but a meeting like this would definitely be a refreshing change in this diplomatic climate that we're in so will this have to say see how those plans out because nothing could be solved until people get talking right for now some economy washington d.c. thanks for that. the evacuation of medicines from the syrian city of duma

in eastern guta is underway according to the russian defense ministry right here earlier announced that a preliminary deal had been reached with the jaish al islam rebel group which operates in the city well then four hundred militants reportedly left him on monday the last rebel stronghold in the besieged area journalist mohammad ali who's in damascus told me the latest on the evacuation. the first batch of. minute then psystar to leaving the town of doom and eastern. according 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 vicious already exited eastern i will talk through and watch. that which is that a couple of kilometers away from from duma and the buses are now lining up at the outskirts of easton and will talk taking up more militants oppositionist and their

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

. people are there for a thing in the world. the annual march of return is

a demonstration denouncing what palestinians view as israeli occupation thousands of them have pitched tents across five locations along the gaza border by the are expected to stay for the coming weeks well the leaders have condemned israel's actions but they were 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 un secretary general was quick to call for a full investigation he used for the first 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 an investigation. they 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 the 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 the catastrophic situation yemen but some old 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

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're a terrorist and the e.u. itself wasn't exempt from the turkish president's rhetoric don't throw stones from a glass house. what 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. staying with israel which is reached an agreement with the un refugee agency to send more than sixteen thousand african migrants to western countries the previous plan to return them to safer countries within africa floundered let's go live to our middle east correspondent paula slayer hi there paula what's been agreed exactly. what we've just heard from israeli prime minister

benjamin netanyahu is that more than sixteen thousand african migrants who are currently in this country will not be resettled in a number of western countries among them are canada italy and germany now this comes after under the radar talks that resulted in a new plan being put forward their plan was put together by the israeli government the united nations high commissioner for refugees and other interested parties it scraps a previous plan that the israeli government was planning to carry out and that would have seen refugees in this country been presented with one of two options on the one hand they would have to agree to be deported to a third african country namely uganda or wonder there was a sweetener of three thousand five hundred dollars per refugee as well as a plane ticket but however if they refuse that they would then have to face the option of prison now that plan was was refuted by human rights groups by thousands of israelis who for the past few months have been taking to the streets to protest

against it netanyahu nast saying that their plan is no longer feasible because of legal constraints and political difficulties what we understand now are moving forward is that it will be the responsibility of the united nations human rights commissioner to find homes and look after these refugees who are being sent to western countries and in addition another eighteen thousand who will remain illegally inside this country now right wing israelis are criticizing this saying that they want to see all the african migrants to porter from israel however the prime minister saying that this has the blessing of the attorney general and is in line with international law not germany and italy or both countries that are already favored distant nations for refugees if you look at the figures from last year for example germany registered more than one hundred eighty six thousand refugees and italy in the same time period saw more than one hundred twenty thousand refugees arriving on the shores. via boats so those are all countries that

already are facing the problems of refugees and now they have the additional refugee numbers that are being sent to them from israel so no doubt they will have more responsibility and real challenges moving forward ok thanks for bringing us up to speed on the jerusalem. protesters have been out in force of germany to show their support for the former leader of spain separatist catalonia region we've got all the details on the live reaction we hope after the break. like when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure those are all symptoms of a greater problem in haiti and that greater problem is imperialism that greater problem is death dependency and domination that haiti has had to deal with since it became the first. free republic ruled by black people since eighteen zero four.

popes and. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to do it to be first this is what it looks like three of the four people get. interested in the waters in the. first. more of monday's developments for you now supporters of catalan independence have been protesting in berlin demanding the sack leader of catalonia be released from

custody in germany colors put him on was arrested more than a week ago by german police he's facing extradition to spain where he's wanted for rebellion and sedition after last october's independence referendum people from across germany were joined by catalan politicians at the rally in berlin they're demanding the release of what they see as political prisoners following a crackdown on the separatist movement by madrid activists of the protests are not the only people backing the former head of catalonia two politicians from germany's left party went to visit put him on in prison and also interviewed him the message he had for his supporters was to not give up. we are not criminals we won elections twice we have to continue the way we are defending our rights rights that are recognized by the un as we have the total right to decide our future. now live reaction from the german left party member martin thanks for joining us r.t.

can you tell me why the left party's throwing its support behind colors put him on it's a spanish and catalan matter isn't it not a german one. oh i think it's an international matter because you see there's a problem in spain and between the. movement and the present tense and suspension and and mr push him on a certain hour arrested in germany before he went to europe to find out of political that suit and to my mind and to the mind of my diet office necessary to solve the problem which is the capital and the cutter to cut a site that lets you put more on the other politicians of the. electorate parties there are the majority parties there and generous you could she was the president several times the offer to the spanish government and to the king to solve the whole problem and so i think the international states and but the german government

. in responsibility to find a way that these different actors can instead of criminalize this movement as well as i mentioned two members of your party went to visit college pushed him on in custody what was the thinking behind that move why get so actively involved beyond just general support it was strictly nasty charles walker our deputy and meant and to turkey and they also went to him just to talk to them we are not to come from all the decisions. unless your political all been there but we don't like if we want political actor in the european countries it's criminal at least. due to a law which is very rigid and which false deadlocked in the frankly everything you see the movement barely sided to make a referendum and if you say to have the day and that was the. spanish government

the night the guy unlocked and started to criminalize. yes just very good to live and if you do more is that as a political act mustn't be in the same political line and but we cling to human rights and we cling to the law of international law the law and being as well there would have been because of the liberties to find it only in the dialogue wasn't. just that it's going on and so that's why there should be different and criminalization there should be don't lock and the real solution of the problem like now. we're going to adapt and we think that's. the way we should do it and ok that in which case finally which way do you see this moving for the people of catalonia will better rest and most likely extradition galvanize that movement because when it came to the independence referendum last autumn and afterwards

catalans they are pretty split on the independence movement don't they so where we are now with mr puts them on facing extradition which way do you see this moving that. you know i think there is a different point of aspects of literature and to be seen if you want to bring the situation to a proper solution first as the european union and the german remain the southern european countries into a crisis for all the exporting german. resources and the other countries that are in the crisis that's why we have a crisis and spleen and then we have the crisis that try to whom the people since a lot have independent the spanish government has just landed and we see in history for example in nine hundred thirty nine german government and time. the. president of the miss human companies

usual there to the spanish government and after birth. cute so we think it's not the same historical situation that we're in most historical responsibility and we have to see that you know maybe it would be better to see the spanish only solution the right to. to imprison this you could do more but there is nobody you've learned in germany germany should be deported him to speak and to come to look people who will not give up fighting for their rights i don't know whether it is good or not being separate that's the issue i don't want to see that there should be a process of negotiation and otherwise the meant and no one to give up if there's a little don't lock there is just my own and the spanish government has a responsibility like you have

a lot of europeans watching how this pans out in the coming days and weeks from now though from the parliament a member the german left party thanks very much for your time on this evening thank you. you're with r.t. international just coming up to twenty seven minutes after seven here kevin know it's good news in the coming hours thanks very much for watching. 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 by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure can remap you have to put me to the center of the problem here with you and we will so all the great. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the doll going let's go.

secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. would need to make this manufactured consent to instant of public wealth. when the running closest to project themselves. with the primary go around to lives only the one percent told. us to ignore middle of the room signal. to lose the real news is. the world.

for twenty five consecutive years more than two hundred terror attacks on russian soil have killed thousands. and survivors must now live with the memory of one fraction of a second that drastically changed their lives leaving them with one question does time really heal.
