in the investigation. the only tell us that they will let us know about the results of the investigation and they will show us what the c.w. experts did in the u.k. as long as the u.k. agrees but since we know that the. british want to sort of see partners conduct themselves we don't truly expect them to show us any good will. want to run. off and. no one. in three counties. that. we now know. we have. right here in the meantime the russian federation. is

more not less interested in this to getting new souls brain sid and establishing all the facts and shedding light on what really happened there. after all we're talking about russian citizens. here. and we have every reason to believe. that the father and the daughter. and you list cripple. you are the victims. of years with the way actions that. you look very much like a terrorist attack. well i was in there a few more and not let anyone. know we were in. because

. they think. we have already. won and you regret. what i think. but so they were this is why we created when we called this special meeting of the executive council of the old p c w. it was our goal. to make the investigation board transparent what it would be to do so i could really take it out of the shadow but make sure it's open unbiased. but your. palos all the international. norms and procedures. also. russian expert should definitely

be part of any investigation. action. and go. oh. man oh no oh you. won't. believe you when you're not we stated all this. is we need our presentation at the plenary. meeting we. spoke those things firmly calmly without emotion us it was a business like constructive a statement. we courage to our partners to come to their senses and

address our problem strickly according to the chemical weapons convention which is . the little. part of our presentation professor the defense ministry offered in many interesting. including. some countries still continuing research on chemical weapons. alexander stille going to speaking there russia's permanent representative of the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons sorry that was translated as you heard at the top of it there are a number of other experts that are going to be speaking as well and then he's going to be taking questions at the hague if you want to follow all that you can we're streaming out live on our site r.t. dot com we're going to continue to follow everything that he said. the british

foreign office three times to leave the tweet saying experts of the british law had confirmed the nerve agent used in the script a poison case was produced in russia it's a move that's not going on noticed by others online with some seeing it as a damage limitation exercise as in this is a joke in a report from westminster before an office has deleted a tweet that it had initially posted on march twenty second which read that analysis by world leading experts of the laboratory at porton down made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia now a couple of days before that boris johnson the u.k. foreign secretary also said that there is no doubt that russia was behind what happened you argue their their source of. the chalk in russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly but when i look at the the evidence from the people from important they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy where so i said are you sure and he said as they dodged well it seems that all of

that was going well until yesterday when the chief executive of porton down came out and said that not only were the scientists not able to prove that the nerve agent came from russia but generally speaking they didn't know what the source was we have not verified the for say 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 narrow feature is that it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured so typically you're not able at cotton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that at the same time the foreign office is saying everything is still the way it was and nothing is inconsistent they really have they've said quote the foreign . terry was making clear that porton down were sure it was a novel chalk

a point they have reinforced what the foreign secretary said then and what porton down have said recently is fully consistent with what we have said throughout it is russia that is putting forward multiple versions of events and obfuscating the truth and quote well suffice it to see that on social media things are not so clear to anybody who's been following this and there have been quite a few tweets posted here in the u.k. calling for the resignation of boris johnson we also know that the libor party has challenged the u.k. foreign secretary to explain himself in the situation boris johnson has serious questions to answer he claimed on german television this was a russian produced nerve agent and porton down then examined it and said all the clincher had to fight was the truth they couldn't say were came from well now it remains to be seen whether or not boris johnson is going to be answering any of those questions given the vigorous ness with which accusations against russia have

flown very early on in this case pretty much as soon as the name of the man poisoned or paul came out into the spotlight or boris johnson is getting a response on twitter he's suggesting jeremy colvin the labor party leader is siding with russia whereas twenty eight countries are back in london he says and have expelled russian diplomats in the wake of the scruples scandal some question the u.k.'s measures here austria is one country to do so saying that they were pressured to follow the trend when the situation gets tough you have to keep channels open the u.k. ambassador to austria issued a demarche on wednesday in order to encourage us to take specific measures on saturday to demolish was repeated on monday while i was in kosovo the chancellor and i spoke over the phone about our position which is now public it's our tradition to bring people together especially in difficult situations. and the other main line to this as well today is that the e.u.

is meantime rejected occasion at a meeting of that chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w.-l. or brussels also accused russia of being unwilling to cooperate reporting from the hague or europe correspondent peter all of. well the special meeting of the o.p.c. w. got underway on wednesday with russia's permanent representative tabling a motion to start a inclusive unified in what was called a constructive civilized investigation all this was dismissed out of hand by both the united kingdom eighty years representatives we heard from the british side they referred to russia's proposal as perverted and they tend to divert attention away from the investigation and they also when told to said that it was in poor taste for russia to put this forward on this day saying it was one year since the chemical weapons attack on a town in syria which left over one hundred people dead the u.k.

accuses the assad government of carrying out that attack and accuses russia of covering up and stopping an investigation into that he said it was content for the lives that were lost that russia puts this forward on this day he was then followed up by a representative from the european union he said the e.u. didn't agree with russia's proposal for a joint investigation saying that russia hadn't provided information it should have done to the u.k. already he also went on to say that the european union had concerns that russia could pull away from the o.p.c. w entirely also a representative from the european commission saying that that laboratory important down wasn't charged with the terminating where the chemical have come from only determining what chemical in. our understanding is to. the rule of the experts

there was to identify the type of agent which used. source from time to actual what the experts have found the. agent has. destruct. and for the rest i would refer you to the march european council for your computer served to committee a position so we didn't get the answers to the many many questions that we may have hoped for out of this meeting we are hoping and should be hearing from the russian permanent representative in just a little while be asking him for more about what unfolded at this meeting here in the hague. the scots who for some junk called the midlands are really u.k. hey john london described russia's proposal than this joint investigation into the scruple cases perverse and we just heard xander shilled in the o.p.c. w. representative talking after the meeting there and they say they're actually he's considering now as a terrorist attack onto russian citizens are we it was it to be expected that

russia would not be involved in this ongoing investigation is it wants to be well i think russia should be involved there i think this will just create even more suspicion not just in the minds of the russians but also in the minds of u.k. citizens i mean today i don't know about being perverse i think it's been a pantomime and every day he gets more and more ridiculous and i never thought i'd be living in a country where we delete text from the foreign office and the foreign secretary boris johnson either exaggerates if we're being polite or laurie's not just to russia but lies to the u.k. population i think he's got to go. the u.k. foreign office as you say has deleted a tweet claiming that russia was the source of the nerve agent the poison's cripple damage control or was it just a simple mistake was hardly a simple mistake is it. well there's a lot of damage control going on i was watching live at the sky news interview with

the head of porton down yesterday at three o'clock and about an hour later i put up a facebook video saying this is the end for boris and maybe for treason may as well we were told we were led to believe that poor down would definitely back up again what boris centuries has been say she was a bit more careful with the words but boris johnson in that german inji said he'd been told categorically this was the case it was not a joke and it came from russia there's no other way of interpret in that and i thought the moment that hit the fan they would start damage limitation and that is what they're doing that's what the attacks on core been about now as well you know people are me i'm certainly a russian surely i'm certainly in the pocket of the kremlin for daring to say as a british citizen i just want the truth johnson's just tweeted the twenty eight countries to further his cause are backing the u.k. in the case was brought them on the side there was just hearsay pumped potentially

from boris johnson maybe now surely they must have something to have to come out with britain like this the must haves the more one create the maybe it's a mistaken comment in germany. no i think what happened was treason made mr played a blinder when she convinced him out that conference i think was in brussels was in it and obviously if people at the foreign secretary saying he's got it from porton down which is what he said in the interview on the twenty second about convents quite a lot of people they put two and two together and they've got five rather than four you know that they this was originally developed by the u.s.s.r. now they say there must be russia rather than waiting so many people urged caution not just politicians not only people i mean said let's just wait till we get the evidence that's the british way but no we blundered into this and i'm afraid assess collated and it's not good news it's not good news for us in the u.k. or for russians in russia is it the reddest attack no matter how you look at it but indeed as you say in the allegations

a pretty serious as well and you would have thought wouldn't you that all the information is down before you can accuse other countries of doing that if you haven't got it all to hand anyway it'll all develop over the coming weeks days months john daunt for now broadcaster journalist thank you. a number of russian officials have already given their reaction to the latest developments in the script or case today with more on but now our correspondent igor is down off. there's a good share of irony in the u.k.'s latest accusation against russia well you know that russia is refusing to share any information on this cripple case with the u.k. because from the looks of it it seems that now london is a shameless lee boring lines for a most closed book of concern for weeks russia has been calling on london to disclose at least some information on their investigation into this cripple case and has been criticizing london for their blatant refusal to do so so now it seems london is turning moskos argument against itself so really russia's reaction

russia's response to this has been hardly a surprise alba writes and if people in the u.k. are sure that russia denied the information on the case was not willing to discuss the question and denied any possibility of cooperation this is one hundred percent prism absolute well this is far from the only thing with heard from the russian diplomats the foreign ministry has said that basically london is interested in sort of fanning the flames around the whole investigation around the whole assassination attempt a not interested in an actual and transparent investigation itself we've also heard from the foreign ministry that now with all the with the berridge of accusations flying the russia way all trust towards the u.k. in this situation in this scandal has been lost and amid this hail of mutual jabs

between russia and the u.k. here in moscow we've heard from the chief of the always see thomas graham he's he's delivering the making a speech at a conference on international security he said that basically the corporation between russia and the e.u. is vital for european security and i managed to get a few minutes of his time and what i was really interested in is whether or not he believes the whole situ. around the scruple case how the said corporation and he told me that he believes that it is not rights when one side doesn't hear the other i'm truly worried about. these bristling. relations between east best. day it seems to. on a daily basis and that is. a matter of concern i think to all security politicians we need to end to revert to dialogue we need to sit

at the same time table we need to again to listen and try to understand development but more empathy towards security perceptions of each other i think that is listening trying to understand that's very important if we want to come out after this current mess kalahari logic well judging by the latest events the dialogue the vital and the most basic trait and tool of diplomacy is something that is seems to be for now impossible to achieve in this situation. more reaction to the recent developments in the scruple case president putin the said that russia is not expecting an apology and euro news doom we are not waiting for anything we just expect common sense to eventually prevail so that international relations will not be harmed as much as they are right now as opposed to making their a joint meeting come from an korea where three power brokers of peace in syria have

met today again in an effort to reduce the violence in that war torn country artists in a patrol because across this three day meeting of minds there. the guarantors have met in ankara turkey and there's absolutely no doubt about their commitment to what the three countries are doing together though they are all still here with their own ambitions stipe aired on keep saying that his country won't tolerate the armed kurdish militias in northern syria so the so-called all of french military options well continue no matter what his son rouhani the iranian leader says that external powers though he did specifically mention the u.s. and israel are trying to use the terrorists on the ground in syria to reach some of their always goals lot of uprooting proudly speaks about the russian efforts to evacuate eastern ghouta which as we understand has paid off with the evacuation of

more than one hundred fifty thousand civilians and some of the rebels too although perhaps the most important point that was made by the russian president was that moscow is in possession of someone teligent stat points to some radical splatting to destroy the road towards peace with a chemical weapons attack because through options for the script to leave you don't join the strategic goal is to eliminate the terrorists you keep trying to destabilize the situation on the ground and sabotage the peace process they are doing this in every way possible and we have obtained undeniable evidence of planned provocation by the militants with the use of chemical agents and then came a little surprise for mr aired on there were no questions planned but the turkish theater encouraged the audience to start asking them and then we heard the one that the journalists had been expecting for two days about america being back and forth

over their future role in syria and here's what i mean by that will become another syria like very soon. very soon very soon we're coming to saudi arabia. is very interested no decision and i said well if you want to say maybe you can have to pay we are in syria fight isis that is our mission and the mission isn't over and we're going to complete that mission so who was first to jump in iran's president hassan rouhani couldn't miss his chance to bash washington in this case. the u.s. says one thing one day and then a completely different thing the next so we cannot trust the words and actions since they want to benefit from syria as much as possible and all mr aired on what's to say to the u.s. administration stop arming and funding the kurds full stop.

let's get if you know from. a journalist and expert on the co-author of the new turkey and its discontents thanks for being with us so a meeting of minds seems to be here the trio joining efforts at least as far as best they can with syria although of course they've got their own different agendas there is this meeting of minds really going to work. if it is going to work for the time being because as you know the countries have different agendas in terms of the future of syria but the greed on one think to the unification to the they all want to respect the unification of the syria they all want not to have american influence in india and also turkey is aware that to syria today americans and others they will pull out from the syria so the next target to be in

might be iran so for turkey keeping it borders are quite important so for three countries they had the same agenda even they have differences this might all come at the. fly in the open here slightly the. others are concerned turkey wants to do with the kurds to continue its operation there against the kurds is that going to complicate matters. it is going to complicate matters because turkey has already entered its operational presence in syria is against why p.g. rated the. terrorist organization in turkey and cried now of isis fight why pete is very active in fighting against isis they have been supported by the americans this also creates tension between turkey and the americans but also this will create a tension between turkey and russia as well because russian leaders put in also say

that. we should have a say in the future of syria so it will be quite tricky between the cooperation between turkey and russia in terms of future to sort of the third party involved around the iranian president said the u.s. can't be trusted over its intentions in syria it's accusing the u.s. of constantly changing its goalposts if you like this is not going to be all critical to exclude the u.s. from taking part in relief or the peace process or war. i think there is increasing concern in the region against the american involvement it's not starting know it all it started in the invasion of iraq by the george bush at this stage the neighboring countries. like a friend. and syria was part of it now. change and not almost kind of creating the friends of syria including part of it i think there is

a concern in the region in terms of the americans on the ground and course during that time is very very closely with they are also very concerned about iran i think this would explain why the harley is taking americans leadership. journalist here expert thanks very much free time being on the program and thank you for being with us. just a quick tip off if you want to follow what russia is saying in the o.p.c. w. in the hague that live media conference on going to russian representative next but they're speaking now you can catch it live stream n r t dot com or stay with us if more great programs in your part of the world right after this break. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternatives but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's
