british scientists admit they are unable to identify the source of the nerve agent used to poison a formidable agent and his daughter in the u.k. . we. verify for so you source but we provided the scientific information to the government. international chemical weapons watchdog the a.p.c. w is to meet on the script case in the coming hours. tomorrow we're calling it a p.c. meeting to get the facts straight on this whole situation we hope a final conclusion we reached there as to what happened. president putin's remarks came during talks with turkey's leader in ankara where they're due to attend

a trilateral summit with iran. and manchester united legend and european champion peter schmeichel kicks off his new show on r.t. it travels to one of the city's hosting the world cup matches in russia this summer . a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me. now our top story the international chemical weapon watchdog p.c. wu is set to meet later in the day there to discuss the poisoning of the double agent a script pal and his daughter yulia in the u.k. a month ago ahead of the meeting the chief of a british military laboratory said it was unable to determine the precise source of the nerve agent used in the attack that cast doubt on earlier statements that claimed russia directly. we have not verified the for say
1:02 am
source but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular and their future is but it's not our job to see we are actually was manufactured to be clear you're not able to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that but when i look at the evidence from the people from important they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt the u.k. defense research laboratory maintains that the substance used is not a child a sophisticated military grade nerve agent the british government reacted swiftly to the comments claiming it is the accusations against russia remain valid is that
1:03 am
as the lab evidence is just a part of the intelligence picture the u.k. backed up the claims by adding that russia has a record of state sponsored assassinations viewing its former intelligence officers as targets it also said that there was no other plausible explanation leading it to believe that russia was almost certainly behind the attack but with scientists unable to verify the source it's possible london may have jumped the gun as more advanced explains. scotland yard said it first they need time this was a professional assassination attempt whoever did it made sure to leave as few traces as possible and it was a geisha of this complexity in size will understandable take some time and you ask for the public's continued support and patience the media didn't need much time pundits for when the whole boring you know investigation part but that's the media
1:04 am
no surprise they need their ratings politicians they only needed a week is highly likely that russia was responsible between the poles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is k. is culpable our quarrel is with putin's kremlin and we could overwhelm you likely that it was his decision what's remarkable is the detectives silent technical experts silent no details at all russia is asking for some any information in fact a sample of the nerve agent perhaps so far nothing instead downing street gets down to the punishment with its allies keeping the whole innocent until proven otherwise likely is good is guilty. we are without a doubt that russia is responsible there is no plausible alternative explanation
1:05 am
needed to one hundred diplomats expelled by britain myths allies and russia diplomatic relations hate rock bottom and then we get the chemical expertise from britain's own laboratory we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies the particular near of each. it is so to be clear you're not able at portadown to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that you'd think that would at least slightly embarrassed those shouting loudest about russia's guilt now really it comes down to one particular job certain scientists now porton down say their job is to work out what the substance was never stablished that it is not a chalk a mat is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of
1:06 am
a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the movie chalks dozens and dozens of different nerve agents have been synthesised not just by russia the head of porton down refused to clarify whether his own lab oratory had its own stockpile for the snow we have anything like that would ever have come from mars or you know leave the four walls of our facilities we deal with a number of very toxic substances as part of the work that we do we've got the highest levels of security in controls the nuvi chalk formulas have been available in public books for nearly a decade now and pretty much any specialist with solid knowledge of organic chemistry can create it you're going to jewel's if it's really another truck we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent all the necessary components
1:07 am
easily available in the open market this it says does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist nor can a chemist you would be able to make it. the fact that the experts can't determine the russians did it doesn't mean that u.k. authorities will change their mantra it is our assessment that russia was responsible for this brazen and reckless act and there is no other plausible explanation remarkable how quickly things escalated and all. that faith based highly likely assessment of russia has always strenuously denied its involvement in the poisoning despite frequent accusations against the state and even the president the russian presidential spokesman dmitri peskov says that boris johnson will have to apologize for his inflammatory statements against russia. the case foreign ministers have been plain invite him in britain have to look at noise of the you. have to apologise to russia somehow this
1:08 am
is a classic russian strategy i try to conceal the evil of truth in a haystack. and the station will have to apologize to russia somehow distracts from russia is one respects no borders challenging the values we share which europeans have to apologize to russia russia is a clear present danger we have got to be fully organized to meet that danger will have to apologize its abject humiliation of the british government the prime minister and in particular boris johnson the foreign secretary in fact for him i believe this is the resigning matter because he didn't just join in the chorus of blame russia who lied on national television on the broadcast. i have spoken to the. porton down to
1:09 am
a very guy who made me statement on behalf of wharton down and he said the guide told him that it was russia that did it it could only have been russia that did this was what's known a mistake it was a lie russia is looking for answers to at least twenty questions regarding the script powell investigation during wednesday's meeting of the o p c w they cover issues such as the sharing of information by the british side and other members president putin is hoping for some definitive answers from the meeting. but good will was the way to do it amazes me how fast this anti russia hysteria has come about because tomorrow we're calling in o.p.c. w. meeting to get the facts straight on this whole situation for you which we have proposed at least twenty questions for their consideration we hope a final conclusion will be reached there as to war happened in sos pre but of
1:10 am
course we're interested in a comprehensive investigation chemical expert james tallest says that many thate know about this type of weapon and are able to manufacture them it would be natural to pin the blame on on russia russia has has indeed made these part of their weapons stockpiles we're talking about a development that probably took place more than thirty years ago. with the fall of the soviet union. the word has gotten out to many states as to the how to make these things many states know about this to the point where we're just chemists talk together our know about these types of things and not i don't work for a state system and i learned this just by talking with chemists from overseas i'm not russian terrorists either so there are chemists around the world that know this type of thing that have nothing to do with russia. president putin's comments on
1:11 am
this compound poisoning case came during a meeting with the turkish media which at type one in ankara a trilateral meeting between russia turkey and iran will get underway later on wednesday. is that. the russian president vladimir putin learned about the latest comments from the laborde tree less than an hour before his press conference with the turkish leader type aired on began and it looked like right during the talks his assistants passed on the message to the russian leader perhaps that explains the president's reaction to it it was rather short and restraint moving on to the discussion on the conflicts that are on raveling somewhere much closer to where i am right now the middle east syria that was of course something else that the president of turkey and russia brought up during their press conference but on
1:12 am
wednesday they will be joined by their arabian counterpart and saad rouhani as well the three countries are guarantors of the syria peace process and it was thanks to them we finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to sorting out the syrian civil war but still a massive number of issues there remain unresolved and hopefully we'll hear something about that when the leaders come to talk to the journalists once again here in ankara turkey. while the leaders of russia iran and taking discuss the future of syria the u.s. is trying to decide what to do with its troops. and by the way we're knocking the hell out of isis will be coming out of syria like very soon very soon very soon we're coming out and will be making a decision very quickly in coup ward nation with others in the area as to what we'll do saudi arabia. is very interested in our decision and i said well did you
1:13 am
want to say maybe you can have to pay isis still remains and we are committed to finishing the campaign against isis wealth michael maloof a former pentagon official about the contradicting messages coming from washington . the u.s. was never invited into syria in the first place we just walked in and occupied areas controlled by the kurds who were at that time against the assad government so how long the u.s. can sustain that and under what authority the congress never has approved it and it's costing us billions of dollars so i think at some point there's got to be oversight by congress on on the expenditures by the u.s. in syria and what what the policy is i think what all of this shows is a is a lack of any policy formulation strategic vision and and and game if you will of what what the u.s. intention is in maintaining troops in syria and i think that the trump
1:14 am
administration needs to come clean with that so far it has not while many cities in syria lie in ruins off the years of fighting and so some virus trying to make the best of its video agency korea travel to aleppo where they filmed a local park or team going through their paces. assess friday and then when our team was established nearly four years ago i missed the crisis and brutal war in the country and it trained under difficult circumstances. facing many problems due to a lack of facilities like the inventory training mounts and whatnot any injury means we have to stop for two or three months. or
1:15 am
a few professional parker trainers we're using other facilities on the internet to contribute to the moon month and it's experience. at least three people have been wounded in a shooting at the headquarters of you tube in southern california people said the female suspect killed herself with it herself the motive for the attack is still unknown the shooter reportedly knew at least one of the victims.
1:16 am
there have been a number of gun attacks in the us recently seventeen people died in florida when a teen gunman opened fire in a school in february the massacre propelled the gun control debate back into the mainstream media but not all the precautions taken since then have been popular as american reports. it's been almost two months since the survivors of the deadly school shooting in portland hold on the government to take action please take action ideas are great ideas are wonderful and they help you get reelected never thing but what's more important is actual action and pertinent action that results in saving thousands of children's lives some of the initiatives taken to curtail gun violence haven't been so popular like these clear backpacks made mandatory at marjorie stoneman douglas high fun idea to see through bad intentions my new
1:17 am
backpack is almost as transparent as the end i raise agenda i feel so safe now starting over the last quarter i have seen a yeah right with a good old violation of privacy now i can't lie about not having gum now another state handed another brilliant as a middle school teacher in georgia asked students to write a letter to congress demanding stricter gun controls the assignment enraged parents who complained that it was unethical to bring the issue into the school's curriculum but pennsylvania has its own rather unique solution if a dorm intruder attempts to gain at the entrance to any of our classrooms they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks but apparently this is plan b. the district superintendent said that the rocks were his only suggestion after scrapping plan a which was what for a golf ball. now looks like those in charge of fixing the issue of gun violence seems to be using the debate to score political points and one of the best examples is senator marco rubio i respect their views and recognize that many americans
1:18 am
support certain gun bans however many other americans do not support a gun ban statements like this and make sure the solutions are perhaps not what the shooting survivors had in mind when they called for action. samir khan r t washington d.c. . an american photojournalist says he feels betrayed by the f.b.i. after he spent seven months held by terror. in syria match three years says al qaeda also took his credit card to use them to purchase various items including computers he claims the f.b.i. tracked these transactions and used the information to infiltrate the terrorist organization manchuria has been trying to cross the syrian border into turkey when he was captured by on those at the time affiliated with al qaeda he spent months in different rebel held prisons in aleppo in two thousand and thirteen he managed to escape becoming the first westerner to do so he's written
1:19 am
a book about his ordeal called the dawn prayer describing the nightmare of his captivity when we caught up with matter head of the book launch later this month. i write in syria eighteen days before my abduction during the time i was photographing the war from the free syrian army side i was the air force intelligence and come out about which were two of the most dangerous parts of aleppo at the time and on new year's eve after i got the photographs i went there for i was on my way out forty five minutes from the turkish border when i was abducted by the on the us or from ok i'm in syria i didn't want anybody coming to rescue me there was no way you can land seals in the areas that i was in one prison yes it was out in the country every other one was in a lot so there's just no way to fly black coats low enough we were not going to get shot down so i didn't want anybody coming to get me but i did want them doing the best that they could to keep me safe and none of that was done did not really
1:20 am
matter if i was with them or not or whatever because i was just going to die anyway so i think every hostage i was held over their fate pretty much meant nothing to the f.b.i. their policy is we don't talk to the bad guys we don't pay for the juice so let's make the best situation for ourselves and exploited james komi he's basically he's a coward he ignored me ignored my e-mails he ignored my message on facebook and he did his best to sweep all this under the rug and he did a good job because now he's gone and it's just coming out now. that's just eleven weeks until the twenty eighteen world cup kicks off in russia the legendary danish goalkeeper and manchester united to michael is one of our guides through the tournament and he went to check out some of the host city.
1:21 am
it's. all come to needs to knock out stage a brand new arena that will see some serious action when brayfield plays argentina just one of those six games being played in this magnificent arena and i can promise you it won't be and still it will be on cross of course for what is just silly all about i'm peter schmeichel and i'm about to find out. the first thing you need to know about nice and all go on is that it was risky to go to as it used to be called about thirty years ago most people sleep off limits to foreigners and the reason for that was this the gas car factory.
1:22 am
during the second world war all the factory was forced put to use military equipment and because of that they got completely flattened by german bombs. a look at just how hard you have to pull it's. amazingly enough it's only one hundred days for the local community to completely rebuild the front and it was then for that without the running of the city became a restricted zone i'm just going to go. until the house because. this is now a multi-billion dollar oberoi from the round twenty thousand people work here that used to be a long haul not to do five times longer but then these fellows are right. i think it's everyone's lunch you know and now i'm on my own. the factories mind
1:23 am
i'm completely on my own. i could actually you know make my own coffee and no one would know that. i just came from the factory where they produced because i know i'm driving a good sale next slice absolute denies that you know i'm the big boy i like to be too holy something needed a little bit more and i know they've got exactly what i'm looking for. it's a raisin shelf and say they'll pull this it raises some icy conditions like this so it is still leaves a little bit of pull over the place that is also set up a professional job of us and a lot of professionals i don't. but i'm getting that. this
1:24 am
judge is a fun ride but it's so difficult. i need a bigger cause a bigger chalk up big or whatever. but an easy a joy ride. so let's see what this is. it's got a good and i thought no three. i think it's much easier to be a goalkeeper than a rally driver. if i was to have it plays in the reality. this would be my job my place see hold still cool drive it. was really good fun. i really enjoyed that and how can you not what i also like to do is to do
1:25 am
a little bit of culture and what i found was this museum exhibits twelve thousand pieces of russian historical and amongst them this one and i really like this this is the kind in speech he was credited for being one of the pie in the is abstract. so nothing abstract about this i'm going to take move right back to the russian roots we all know this you know this is cold will come up it's if you add russian guns he made it before and then she told the scene of this it's so common that even fisa are using it on their official motioned us and now i'm going to have
1:26 am
a go at painting one of these and this is osama hello would you teach me how to paint. a fish in the challenge to. you see mine is not too bad but i think she needs a little bit of practice. for
1:27 am
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 a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you and will show the great game the great game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone. and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me just like the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. with gold make this manufactured come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling
1:28 am
classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is. eleven pm in the french quarters police station. the policemen using sydney's application are starting their shift. this. shit. i guess franklin has already been working all day as
1:29 am
a city police officer. but at night he chooses to extend his work day in the unit that uses sydney's application. my regular shift was two twenty five to eleven o'clock pm and then i go from sort of twelve am to six in a walk long day but it's worth it in the end. that is overtime is paid for by the millionaire. before leading police officers of the task force collect their equipment. those tablets with the app. and the small electric cars. once the app is turned on they head to the french quarter. sidney torres is having dinner there with his son. but he's always connected to his phone. drug dealing decatur and has been a right here. to do his that people have reported the
1:30 am
presence of a drug dealer in front of this bar. it's a drug deal that they said was happening and that's you know i'm looking on the g.p.s. right now to see what the machine is because the machine should be on its way right now. less than three minutes after the warning car isn't already on site. but the drug dealers just left. back at the station while joey is in charge of dispatching the police here ok call me sir. he has just received a picture that raises his concern. what's the problem with the history and you know he's probably carrying it should go to scratch carry guns and f.h. it's hot out here look i want to long sleeve have you.
