a conflict with russia we will pay very dearly for it but i always tell my viewers here listen to the words not to the bluster because russia is prepared go ahead. now i think it's very interesting that against altenburg who is the head of nato right moment was one of the first people to say very clearly after the u.k. claimed it must be russia that we need to wait for proof and then will macron also did that first week after this attack but france was also very rapidly pulled into line to sign up and say no no the u.k. knows that russia carried out this attack so this is going on i think there might be two strands here first of all the u.k. wants to puff itself up like an animal under threat to look bigger because it's got brakes it going on it's got trade wars going on it's being expelled from. choice so it's under threat as a country but secondly it wants to try and project its power through nato so that's

what they're trying to do i think but you know it's a major problem for the u.k. because it's caught between a rock and a hard place between america between the. growing so crowed eastern bloc which is russia and china and let's not forget the influence of china whatever half the countries in the e.u. have said that they are going to sporty baseless evidence free evidence light assertions of the government moment. countries are not doing so but also thirty every other country in the world is not doing so and china has categorically said this is supporting the russian position that they want to wait for evidence we are still lacking in evidence you know charles i like when he said there because may's government is doing is it showing our europe that it's still very important relations with the u.k. respectable what's going on with briggs it and of course it's proof positive that the special relationship with america is meaningful because the u.k. . it will remain a say or

a get of the united states and the european continent go ahead yeah point just now i mean the number of countries that have pulled out diplomats is in its twenty's the hundred ninety odd countries in the world that haven't pulled out diplomats and haven't backed britain's line on this nuts worth considering the world is not as the west likes to think it is you canada and the united states it's plenty of other countries besides but going back to the main question about motivation one needs to think about that britain has a long history even as boys johnson was boasting the other day of being in the forefront of confronting what it cost the russian menace but this goes back of course hundreds of years in the imperial times and so when we look at the timing of this to discredit russia just before the presidential elections just before the world cup coming up and then also just before the british local elections coming up in just a few weeks time in which before this incident happened opinion polls showed to reason why it was going to do extremely badly and now largely because the media has

one hundred percent back on their right in blaming russia that now she's starting to write high notes opinion polls and so when we look at motivations concern for this instant britain has many motivations and as we know of course also has the capability to carry this out it doesn't mean britain did carry it out but it has the motivation and the ability just as russia does ok let me jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on toxic relations stayed with r.t. . the are you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle. to start trying to tell you that because of the public or. i tell you all enough

but proud. of all that we all. know what. it's the cradle of jazz. this is america the america we. know this jazz feel. the city of climatic contrast trophies of alligators on the loose of poverty and crime by the members of my family close my. street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans. the best place in the world.

welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter bell to remind you we're discussing toxic relations. can we go back to jim in washington you know one of the if we can is going to broaden this out because i think one of the things that's being missed and being lost actually are some very fundamental principles that we expect from the state and our media and now those are the presumption of innocence due process and the right to dissent all three or under savage attack by this this cobol of liberal corporate media and governments ok and these things three issues that i mention are the pillar of western society and they're being crushed go ahead jim. well i guess peter i would say welcome to the twenty first century i mean that's

nice to talk about all those needs riches and powdered wig principles in our constitution that we got from our mother country but they simply do not apply anymore you know this was mentioned earlier that the brits will have egg on their face of the proof doesn't come out i don't expect the proof to come out and i don't have any reason to suppose that the o.p.c. w. will not be as corrupted in this process as the so-called jim jones of the best a gate of mechanism was on accusations against syria look let's look at the bigger picture here for over a year we've had this whole russia collusion hysteria going on in the united states where does a trace back to to the russians no to christopher steel at m i six agent who's got a connection by the way this cripple through this orbitz outfit in this fellow what pablo miller is his name that that when we look at the relationship between the elements of the american and the and the british deep states the various agencies m i six g c h q f.b.i. cia the other groups here that have been involved in this i would say conspiracy to

not only subvert the american election but to make sure that our relations with russia stay worse and getting worse all the time that this is almost in a way a phase two of what we've been seeing for quite some time in terms of a political campaign ok andy i'm going to ask you a hypothetical question and it's really quite serious is it possible that this incident is just a fabrication but there is no incident because i keep looking at what is being presented to the public and it is so sketchy there's no physical forensic evidence been proved provided to us ok i mean there's even talk that this is a facebook page was accessed when she was in the coma or something like that i mean what happens is then we're not given information to the public then you start kind of rattle your brain like well what does this all mean here i mean it seems to me that. this is what's happening this is how this this whole process is being

presented to the public but it does create an enormous amount of doubt at least in some people and i think if you look at the comments under articles written about this there's an enormous amount of skepticism and then they either stop comments or they delete all of the comments i'm not convinced the public is so on board with this go ahead and. i don't think there is a huge amount of trust no. and in fact i've been invited on to other media outlets and you cage's discuss this why to seventy or eighty percent of their respondents not trust what the media is saying the. hosts of the shows are honest and actually why should they not be astonished after the the mess of the weapons west structure with iraq and other lies that have happened around intelligence you know torture x. extradition all the rest of it so this is within a context of wider context over the last two decades of distrust of what our

governments what our intelligence what our military tells us that's why people are not trusting what's going on moment in this particular case yes there has been an absolute does thought of of any form of intelligence any form of evidence any form of information from the medical team trying to care for the script holes so of course people are going to be questioning this and there has been a lot of very hard evidence coming out about what the porton down scientific institute might be doing what other institutes around the world might be doing i mean evidence even published in a magazine called the new scientist which is a very prestigious scientific magazine in the u.k. where scientists come together and said actually these so-called novacek family of agents might and have been replicated around the world over the last couple of decades and certainly of the last decade when. they formally were published by the guy who blew the whistle when he defected to america so we have

a situation where all this information is out there in the world so far you can government to immediately immediately say it must be russia could only have come from russia because this was developed under the soviet union in one nine hundred seventy s. it's so specious of course people are suspicious right you know cherry. you know in all of this you know what is the make government and the americans what do they expect russia to do under these circumstances if they are not presented evidence of their guilt they're just post the say they're guilty i've never heard that is childish i mean i have no i can't comprehend why they would even do that it's like it's like a maze government is talking to a wall it doesn't want to reply it doesn't want any kind of dialogue here so what are the right what do they expect the russians to do go ahead charles. well of course they expect the russians to do as they have to because the russians have had no alternative but to act in a way is to say well we are the accused party until you provide us with some kind

of evidence we are in a position to be to comment on that and then russia is taken up further by saying but hey why don't we get bearing in mind the circumstances of this why don't we actually have a joint investigation where we can put our input into and that may actually come to haunt the british side that they haven't actually taken up this opportunity because of course in the last day or so details of a another potential motive in this case of emerge it's been emerge for example of that. only a couple of days before this poison attempt was made on her and her father. something like two hundred thousand dollars came into her account from. the sale of father's house through his divorce and yet also it seems that only last year her brother who died supposedly in mysterious circumstances was the beneficiary of that money and so here if these reports are true this could start to really ring panics

alarm signals for the british government that actually over here we actually have a potentially alternative motivation for this kind of killing if for example this kind of drug could be a bit st and we hear from the reports that the people concerned had high links to soviet and soviet days intelligence officials and so therefore it may well be that there is a reason for us to have a joint russian and british investigation so we can that's what you said about the investigation itself the police have been extraordinarily quiet on this they have been no c.c.t.v. is she there's been no description just huge and so on i would say perhaps to defend british police if it's possible on this they may be keeping their cards close to their chest because they may be cutely aware of the political pressure that they are likely to placed under if there's any suggestion that the inquiry is not going to way the government wants after all as i mentioned earlier the british government said without doubt there is no. and it seems to russian government being blamed so people have a right to ask what chance therefore is that of

a nonpolitical pressurized british police investigation of even considering alternatives much of a sions impossible it is you know jim just from what charles said right there it sounds like you know that the british authorities the police authorities sound like the f.b.i. during the american campaign intensely politicized corrupt ok again i was talking about some of the major features of of the rule of law and the end seems to be tumbling down all over again because you've got you've already drawn your conclusion and you work backwards ok i was in graduate school for a long time now it's called bad science and it's actually immoral go ahead jim it is and frankly peter i think that's the the charitable way to interpret this that we're on t.v. i don't think we're on t.v. and. i well i would i would tend toward the other thing is that the people making these accusations themselves do not believe them and in fact know that they are not true and if i were in the russian shoes and it's not my job to give them advice but

as sort of saying well we didn't do it where's the proof we want a joint investigation i would turn around say look these two russian citizens were poisoned on your territory great britain within ten miles of your top chemical weapons facility unless we hear otherwise we presume you're responsible for this we demand proof that you're not. look this idea that somehow they're british are just sort of jumping to a conclusion i think it's much too fair here and to fair to the american government as well i think there is a deliberate provocation going on and i have to and that they know that they're making false charges just this isn't the case of the w m d's in iraq i think most of the people making those accusations knew full well that saddam hussein did not have w m d's but they were making the accusation anyway because it serves their purpose well jim they never would have invaded if there were weapons of mass destruction that's logical ok they never would have done it that's why they did it because they were there any you told me before on this program that city gate was under the protection of the british authorities is there going to be any kind of

snafu about that they were actually supposed to be protecting him right. of course i mean he was a high value agent an asset working in russia for ten years he was reporting agent names back to m i six so people keep calling him a double agent he wasn't he was a british agent right they've been turned and betrayed russia so that's the situation he was in but you know the russians rinse him clean of information for they released him of course and my six nation of course when they received him that's why they allowed him to go free pension tomorrow or to mass allows him to have an open life so you know again in terms of motivation why on earth would the russians try and kill this guy now when he's been you know free for years he's been. i would always said for many years i think charles would probably agree with this in terms of motive it's going to be down to something he would be working in

now in the last eight years where it's been living in the u.k. now if you was involved in the christmas deal to say that might lead to motivation he might even work with other people as well we just don't know i would hope that the intelligence agencies and the police would be investigating those leads at the moment trying to work out who actually much has a motive to time carry out. any i mean let me go to charles here we reconsider where we're all sort of this program i mean libyan authorities are not looking for alternative under motives because once you instantly say you have the culprit there is no it's like o.j. simpson ok you know you know he did it ok. you know why would the authorities look for the killer of his wife and her friend no he did it ok in this case here they've already determined the outcome so why would they why would they even look for alternative strategies go ahead. well it may be i mean with the

british police is perhaps one of the least politicized police forces in the world i speak as many years as having worked in the british police and of course i know full well they can be susceptible to political pressure and it can't you can imagine a situation where there's more political pressure and this where the government is declared absolutely certainly that russia did it but it may well be that one of the reasons why they rushed to take action before the police investigation is because they actually suspect there may be a chance a police investigation won't prove their case and certainly i think the police will be wanting to look at alternatives if only to dismiss them and so we even though i grieve with what you'll see the logic of what you're saying that it seems that the government house without any doubt already come to its conclusions before any investigation we should wait as should the british government of weight of course in the american government all those are followed it should await the outcome of the british investigation and then if necessary we can pick holes in it and see where the way they've gone right but let's await the british investigation and

let's wait see what the o.p.c. w. says well though i suspect that matter what the british investigation say it will be spun to support when they were in the report comes out we're going to have you all back again many thanks and i guess in london brussels and in washington and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. unix time and remember. they've been waiting. for a long time because it talked about the dollar that there is a world reserve currency countries are tired of america's wars because there are there's got to be trainer in dollars including oil to buy oil. gotta buy dollars

first that means america gets commission. wars all over the world. cranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive a truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to gold but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slow down for much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal. with

was. i. was. it was. eleven pm in the french quarters police station. the policemen using sydney's application are starting their shift. this franklin has already been working all day as a city police officer. and at night he chooses to extend his work day in the unit that uses sydney's appliqué. my regular shift was two twenty five to eleven o'clock

pm and then i go from start twelve am to six and walk a 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. sydney 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 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 or is it already on site. by the drug dealers just left. lose. back at the station while your joy is in charge of dispatching the police you're ok call mr bush. has just received a picture that raises his concern. was the problem with the history and that is probably carrying it should go to scratch carry guns and f.h. it's hot out here look i want to long sleeve heavy duty shirt cover up. short guys look at those pictures and probably we're. withdraw not if there's

a god because. he immediately sends a car. but the men vanishes. a few weeks later. this man identified with the application or murder a nightclub bouncer. the killer is twenty two years old his name is terry mark he will be arrested for the murder a few weeks later. due to the large number of alerts received tonight. joy he decides to help out his troops on site. now to. come out of the and hold a gun point on a drug. we decided to check the small streets around the french quarter the criminals often

use them to escape the police. culture of. men with suspicious behaviors prostitutes. a crowd that doesn't seem to enjoy the officer's presence. of some theft was god's will. see a guy who can cause trouble. he's not a fairly good that's for sure. at this exact location a man was beat up and robbed a few days earlier under the different eyes of the prostitutes.

walk of the. mounted police city police. state police task force. everything is done to make sure that terse don't have five pieces. they bring in six billion dollars each year. do you think new orleans has finding a different way. to do legally. with these street races on a road under construction.

or at least twenty four he never misses a run. every sunday of every week pretty much. what do. these various people. like me through nose guard police training is actually raising race. each weekend there are dozens looking for the thrill of speed. girls also take part in the races when the brothers were coming up it was like you're going to raise chickens addition to this it's in your blood the media the female they were when i came. aboard if the cash money up front this is my everybody help me pay for it.

didn't think i. have to two hundred meters she reaches one hundred miles per hour. not enough to win the race. so we go on. those runs are sort of the skate for the youth to new orleans. no one of the man who wants the best place in the world come out. when the police or. everybody flees it's also part of the game. this is don't even bother chasing.

the need of a mile away. in a parking lot. but it's the one thing the beast if i just lob the want to sunday we still get one that's our private everyone isn't thrilled about this is a private private bindis do not respect they should let him know that you. said it so we have the good side of the story. but as a cio they would be rather you be all you can in this day of an issue with us that is just. no drama you know. only a few hundred yards away the twenty four year old man just lost his life. the hips

are too fur went over a bridge fast on a crown above under the train. night though even though. the biker was going too fast. about. fifty feet below the man's bodies laying on the ground he landed under the tree he died instantly. each year in the easy to be more than seven hundred people down the road mainly young people. so each night the sheriff's units on the lookout for.

this young twenty three year old driver just passed she's going one hundred miles per hour. she doesn't seem to be in great shape. i don't especially want to go. out that i. can stand up right now and the smell of liquor coming off your breath right that way i would say so for a bit you can stand right without problems i. think when you come back to america right back from the start. young woman is arrested. she faces a heavy sentence. in the united states drunk driving is severely punished.
