russia's foreign minister pushes for answers over the poisoning of a former double agent his daughter in britain and accuses the u.k. of going too far with its allegations. that donald trump allegedly putin recently discussed plans for a meeting in washington. also the militants on the move in the syrian city of doom are in eastern. russia says over a thousand people of that area since sunday following an evacuation deal with rebel groups. and israel suspends a deal with the u.n. to resettle african migrants while italy and germany tonight say they are unaware of any such agreement anyway.
6:01 pm
and with here it to one o'clock in the morning now moscow time good morning thanks for joining us first then the russian foreign minister says the u.k. has gone too far with its accusations over the poisoning of sergei scruple and his daughter and he goes on to say the u.k. will eventually have to provide answers to the questions that have been posed by russia here's what sergei lavrov had to say which he goes down off earlier expanded on. that if you will not be possible to get away from through the questions since that's the obvious nuts and what else is on the british colleagues have. on your list of school issues the russian foreign minister has focused in detail on everything going on in this cripple 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 on the mend to. also he has stressed that russia
6:02 pm
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 un 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 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 in 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 beauty of our colleagues to answer the questions you
6:03 pm
want 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 pin everything on moscow because in their opinion it seems it's not an investigation into who is behind the assassination attempt but more like how russia did it did putin give a direct order to its agents to go and assassinate sergei scruple 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 that for at least a decade russia has no beef with the script because in two thousand and ten that's when the double agents were put to place between moscow and london so that that's pretty much what closed the book on this for russia. in terms. news coverage even
6:04 pm
though we're really no further forward weeks on from all this it's really not stopped the headlines spinning 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 so when you are citing a source it means that you have some inside information 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 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 information 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
6:05 pm
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're 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 to politics right to david swanson says that despite information being scarce nonetheless the media's already delivered its verdict. well it's not at you dish will 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
6:06 pm
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 right now though. patience is wrong for wearing fan 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 so where does the world stand let's look at them up this is a look at the global backing the british and american officials say they have of the nerve agent attack in salzburg to as many of the countries as you can see showing their support are indeed nato members but even among them there is still some uncertainty is david swanson again. well i think they think of themselves as the world the international community which is always just
6:07 pm
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 military force. and made worsening relations between russia and the west there could be some good news on the horizon the white house could host a meeting between the u.s. and russian presidents and more on the correspondents america. well here are the latest details on last month's phone call between president putin and president
6:08 pm
trump now back on march twentieth donald trump called to congratulate president putin on his reelection this wolf was criticized by many in the american media according to the russian aide to president putin and the white house spokesperson a bilateral meeting was planned during the phone call but today we've learned that during that conversation trump invited president putin to visit washington d.c. but just as a reminder the phone call happened before the u.s. expelled sixteen russian diplomats over the poisoning of a russian ex-wife with russia being blamed for it of course and then russia responded in a tit for tat measure announcing the expulsion of sixty eight u.s. diplomats but the kremlin says that no meeting preparations have been made at the time but according to president putin's aide the white house was discussed as one of the possible venue's so we'll just have to see how this all plays out. elsewhere in the world the evacuation of militants from the syrian city of duma in eastern
6:09 pm
guta as well underway called into the russian defense ministry since sunday when a thousand militants have left the last rebel stronghold in that besieged area muhammad ali is in damascus with the latest the first batch of. minute insisted leaving the town of doom and easter and the buses are now lining up at the outskirts of easton hutto picking up more militants oppositionists them and their families it is expected that at least fifty buses will be exiting from. 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 country sort of a look this will be the first batch following of course reaching a deal brokered by a russian between the syrian army and this particularly militant group according to reports coming from inside duma there is a kind of division. among the group leaders of this militant group on getting out
6:10 pm
or not but eventually it seems that the deal has been reached and they have started getting out in the boonies resistance movement hezbollah on its social media accounts published some of the items of this essential is that militants will have to surrender their heavy and medium weapons to the syrian army before leaving they can only take with them their individual life questions like clash and of course or something also very important item in the deal is regarding the fate of thousands of both the civilians and army personnel 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 as 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 in the estonia talks meaning iran and turkey on supervising the
6:11 pm
process of the release of those kidnapped civilians and army personnel. from the elite. in. a fox news host has found itself in hot water following a row with one of the most outspoken survivors of the school shooting in florida lower income a show now is facing a boycott from its top advertisers after a mock tweet about the teenager jacqueline virga takes up the story. the bigger
6:12 pm
they are the harder they fall a lesson that one of the most popular hosts on fox news the most watched cable news 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 of 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 hogs face everywhere joining me now from particle in florida is 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.
6:13 pm
in a recent interview hogg 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 hog 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 or apologizing to me this. a group of people who have been almost a knowing kid as on touchable their kids as i say they're victims and they are have been through a lot what ever they say whatever the forum whatever they claim it doesn't matter
6:14 pm
don't say anything in return the democrats don't have any issues they don't like trump that's their platform but this is the only thing that counts as an issue guns they hate guns the 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 it makes perfect sense as there is no love lost between her and the left we may be witnessing a turning point in the american political climate outspoken leftist forces 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 wasn't 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
6:15 pm
bernie sanders as well let me especially think the young people at the high school and talk live in 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. coming up after the break israel suspended a deal to resettle african migrants tonight the but a lot of twists and turns that will bring you up to speed ninety seconds time. that's. what politicians do. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. somehow want to. have to go right to be
6:16 pm
this is what we're before three of the more people. interested always in the water how. should.
6:17 pm
i get this is all to international with me kevin israel has suspended a controversial migrant deal tonight that could have seen thousands of african refugees sent to western countries a lot of twists and turns on this over the evening the israeli pm the latest is reached the agreement with the un's refugee agency on monday before that a huge sinning on its implementation of what's been described in the last few hours as internal pressure in israel. it's a unique agreement with the states of israel which removes sixteen thousand two hundred fifty people out of the zero two developed countries such as canada germany and italy what seems to be happening is that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is backing under pressure and criticism in the last few hours we've heard him make three different statements regarding the future status of african migrants inside israel now late on monday in a dramatic about face the israeli prime minister announced that he was canceling and earlier announcement in which he said that
6:18 pm
a new agreement had been reached between the israeli government of the united nations refugee agency regarding the future of migrants now that agreement was supposed to see some sixteen thousand african migrants resettled in a western country the countries that were listed with canada germany and italy and another eighteen thousand who would receive temporary stoat asked her in israel after that announcement the prime minister received a lot of criticism there was a backlash from members within his only could party there were other members of the coalition government and he is reliant on those coalition partners to remain in power a lot of them spoke out against it earlier there was an announcement an agreement put forward by the government that said that migrants in this country would be given two options the one would be to be forcibly deported to either uganda or wonder all to be sent to prison and those that chose to go chose in inverted commas would receive a sweetener are some three and a half thousand dollars as well as
6:19 pm
a plane ticket but human rights organizations and thousands of israelis over the past few weeks and months have taken to the streets to criticize that announcement subsequently went on yahoo or not answer that he was scrapping it there was a sigh of relief from many quarters here in israel what we're hearing now however is in a facebook post by the prime minister. he says that he hears the residents of particularly south to live in which is where many of these migrants live and he's putting everything on temporary hold saying that he's suspending the agreement until he holds talks so a bit confusing at this stage a lot of developments in the last few hours but certainly it does seem as if the israeli prime minister is under a lot of pressure to reach some kind of decision but he's got different parties vying for what they want their decision to be. christine hansell from the alternative of germany party told me that accepting refugees is not the right way to help struggling african countries probably it's
6:20 pm
a way for netanyahu to quit to cool down the problem in his in his own country but i think we have to understand we have a global migration crisis it's not about asylum we see that individual asylum is another thing where whole groups of populations are concerned this is a migration crisis due to two failed states and two failed economic policies and two failed economic development especially in africa and this big challenge has to be answered by us the means we have to find. another policy regarding to solve those problems. with israel too for next story the countries being slammed for how it's military's been handling ongoing protests at the garza border the so-called palestinian march of return has already left seventeen dead and more than a thousand injured of the course of just three days. it.

6:22 pm
the only wal-mart chilled return is a demonstration denouncing what palestinians view as the israeli occupation thousands of pitched tents across five locations along the gaza border with are expected to stay in front for the coming weeks world leaders have condemned israel's actions here but in turn they were accused back of double standards by the israeli pm. 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
6:23 pm
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 spike the 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
6:24 pm
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. 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. 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 sound bite. from don hawkins i'll say goodbye smalling thanks for watching to stay tuned to us on to international for the night show and see the bring all the latest breaking headlines and don't miss a thing we're getting into news alerts on r.t.f.
