cation to do so would be perverse. unfortunately we didn't manage to get the needed two thirds of votes for the resolution to pass obviously the brits and americans voted against and then nato and some a u member states and u.s. allies followed suit they fear the truth they fear to take responsibility for their words the blatant accusations for provocative statements from the head of u.k. diplomacy. it has representative to the o.p.c. ws that's how the more claims against russia at the meeting linking the script power poisoning to the chemical attack in the syrian town of khalid shaikh who lost it back to talk led the u.s. to five dozens of tomahawk missiles into syria to take out a government base he claims that russia had called wednesday's meeting in the hague to make a political point. well chemistry professor dave cullen says that the nerve agents believed to have been used in cells bre is not that hard to produce. the chemistry

that was being claimed to be unique. basically claimed it was not there really remarkably simple compounds and they're all very similar so they all have basically a phosphorus group with four groups attach they all have an oxygen and a fluorine which are invariant and so so the trick is to get the other two groups in and i would say that the ones that i've looked at which is at least a dozen of them they could be made in two or three steps by pretty much any organic chemist in my opinion which is why this notion that it's specialized russian technology i picked the needle on that and said no it's not you might die trying to make them i need special equipment to keep yourself from getting a dose of the stuff but there's ways to do that for about twenty or thirty thousand dollars so there's nothing. bottom except for not killing yourself it's a very simple modifications you could almost imagine making one by mistake which

would be a catastrophic moment for that chemists but but there you know i could give a problem set in my first year grad course how would you make these and the students would all get it. facebook has admitted that the scale of a data breach of its accounts that was used for political purposes has turned out to be follow on to them previously thought that tell you john says that the profiles of up to eighty seven million people could have been shared with data research cambridge analytical early estimates said fifty million. in total we believe the phrasebook information of up to eighty seven million people mostly in the u.s. may have been improperly shared with cambridge and only to cambridge analytical license data for no more than thirty million people the firm that has been using this information it's called cambridge and a little and essentially it does data collection and polling and analysis for political parties political campaigns and groups they use this information

essential to craft their messaging craft their campaigning in a way that would be persuasive they kind of create a psychological profile of potential voters based on what they have collected from facebook and social media they then use that information to craft their campaign advertising their messaging etc and now the data harvesting happened in a tacit agreement with facebook now facebook says they had no malicious intent. however this has really hurt their reputation the government of germany actually went as far as asking for a clarification from facebook for an explanation we also have seen the trend delete facebook all over social media with people you know tweeting out you know delete facebook calling for people to stop using facebook in response to this perceived you know dissemination of people's personal information that we do know that facebook is now in the process of changing their apps so that certain apps are

more protected that the privacy of their users is more protected but as we see you know this call for for facebook to be deleted for people not to be used to using facebook is expanding so a lot of questions are being raised and it's certainly true that the reputation of this very widely used social media app is is severely tarnished well we asked internet lower expecting cohen and media analyst timothy come off that views on the facebook data scandal. haemorrhaging at least the guys denying the figure they claim there is only thirty million but i don't think it makes a lot for the from the very thirty million to late in the year and i think it is the principle behind it is the old story about what about the use of intimate robots as we call them boats in order to meddle with the u.s. elections now spill story seem now a little bit out of there a little bit ridiculous nobody is talking about it but it was very interesting to

hear his desire to beg only a couple of weeks ago. almost apologizing for allowing them to leave the boxes today that it was then being used to influence election is if this story was about influencing election but by third parties. rather than access to news as they've done locally this is a company that route so rapidly now the people who are managing facebook lost control of their creation and the whole business model of facebook is built on this idea that they they collect highly targeted data on their users and then sell that data to advertisers and others and i think there just wasn't enough oversight of that process basement to say that they can they can police themselves internally they can solve these problems with their own oversight that i think that you know there's a legitimate reason that that's not good enough that we need to look at

a new regulatory framework that will protect the privacy of users of social media not just facebook but people who are google and other popular platforms. it seems the presence of american troops in steria has become a confusing issue even for washington last week donald trump announced he wants to withdraw to happen very soon but reports in the u.s. media say he's being advice not to pull the troops out of seoul so with an ever changing white house rhetoric trump is backpedaling promising that a decision on the matter should be taken soon. we're knocking the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now. the primary mission in terms of that was getting rid of isis we've almost completed that task and will be making a decision very quickly to pull the troops out so that i want to get out i want to

bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation a question of america's exit from syria was raised at a summit between russia turkey and iran to iran expressed its skepticism that washington's plans. the united states is one thing one day and then a completely different thing the next so we cannot trust their words or actions it seems they want to benefit from syria as much as possible. well the main focus of the un chris summit was to discuss the peace plan for war torn syria and despite some differences the russian irena and turkey's latest found common ground as he reports. the three guarantors have met here at ankara's presidential palace there's absolutely no doubt about the three countries commitment to what they're doing together though they're all here with their own different missions fibered on keep saying that his country won't tolerate any armed partition militias in northern

syria so the so-called branch will continue no matter what the iranian leader hassan rouhani says that external powers although he did specifically mention the u.s. and israel keep trying to use terrorists on the ground to reach some of their own goals for tehran a strong foothold in syria is a strong message to tel aviv and some of its other regional adverse rees lot of our putin proudly speaks of russia's evacuation efforts and he's which have paid off although perhaps the most important point from the russian president here and ankara was that moscow is in possession of some intelligence that points to plans by some radicals to destroy the road to peace with a chemical attack. on joint strategic goal is to eliminate the terrorists who keep trying to destabilize the situation on the ground and sabotage the peace process

but they are doing this in every way possible we have obtained undeniable evidence of planned provocation by the militants with the use of chemical agent there were no questions planned but then suddenly type aired on and encouraged the audience to ask some things and then the first question came in it was about the price that there is to pay for. storing syrup and a lot of my putin said that all three countries feel it's their duty to spend money on and help syria recover but he also encouraged everyone else the entire international community to get involved in actually turn words into actions people in the us state of michigan take giants nestlé have the use of ground water for both looking at the story coming up for you after the.

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president and should. want to be. that you'd like to be this is what before three of them will be good. i'm

interested always in the water. my. welcome back now there is a david and goliath battle playing out in the us state of michigan despite widespread public opposition food giant nestlé is being allowed to extract more drinking water from the state's groundwater table and can now extract one thousand five hundred liters per minute which is a five hundred more than previously allowed while of course it has sparked a huge concerns about the environmental consequences eighty two thousand people voted against the corporation getting a permit to pump the water first is just seventy five you thought it was a good idea but that was ignored with authours he's saying the poll was irrelevant and didn't apply to their policies in full transparency in the majority of the

public comments were in the position of the permit but most of them related to issues of public policy which are not and should not be part of an administrative permit decision opposition goes back to two thousand and one when nestlé was first sued for potential damage to lakes rivers and streams as a result of the company had to limit its water extraction people in michigan are once again voicing their concerns. he says when we moved here you can see that there is no or no growth either side this way has a reputation worldwide of going to perp or rural communities are offering the kinds of economic benefits to the community that never really but to realize and take in as much water as they can get an oil stream runs dry they believe the nestlé contractor who receives the permits says it will carefully review the

agreement and will comply with all its requirements michigan environmental council says the water extraction is going to be highly monitored. if they do pump in that the level of the water goes down this is something that groups like our own could take nestle to court and have the courts and force the permit we make sure that no nobody takes too much water out of the river so that out so that it runs dry or everything so that's why they're going to monitor the flow and make sure that their road maintains a healthy glow and in cases where the stream flow starts to dry out then they're required to turn back their wells and turn them down so it's going to be very closely monitored withdrawal and if we do see that impact happening then what we're asking state officials to to avoid the curb it and make west mick nestle turn the wells off. now students at the florida school west seventeen people were killed by

a teenager in february speaking out against new security measures there one survivor who joined the anti gun lobby expressed her frustration at it as a see through the backpack which is one of the school's new safety measures students say they want well thought out changes not useless quick fixes and some air con the ports. it's been almost two months since the survivors of the deadly school shooting in parkland called on the government to take action what's more important is actual action and pertinent action that results in saving thousands of children's lives but some of the initiatives taken to curtail gun violence haven't been so popular like these clear backpacks made mandatory at marjory stoneman douglas high and by the editor of bad intentions my new backpack is almost as transparent as the end i raise agenda i feel so safe now starting over the last quarter of senior year right with a good old violation of privacy now i can't lie about not having gum moving on to

another state and another brilliant and mission if a middle school teacher in georgia asked to do is 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 pennsylvania has its own rather unique solution if an armed intruder attempts to gain at princeton the work class terms they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks and they will be stoned but apparently this is plan b. the district superintendent said that the rocks were his own suggestion after scrapping plan a which was great for golf balls so it looks like those in charge of fixing the issue of gun violence seem to be using the debate to score political points and one of the best examples of this is senator marco rubio i respect their view and recognize that many americans support certain gun bans however many other americans do not support a comeback statements like this in makeshift solutions are perhaps not what the shooting survivors had in mind when they called for action samir khan r t

washington d.c. . thank you for choosing r.t. international for the latest headlines two and my colleague calling for a the top of the hour. i don't want my wagon anywhere but i'll go on. board will pull you out of a. good mouth and see what it and i didn't do it will always be the good is it also. muslim or noble and else hold. on a prophecy of the. people to. keep it or don't or don't let you

come up with a rule to. keep on going about the how i live and i'm mad at them and the money because i'm. not bad with the internet but oh november creative us in the eyes of a myth as an adult pointed out on to them but i have the only thing is as it is about. cranking gave americans a lot of new 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 trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was among the rate of zero percent was like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation

a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here in amman just slow down for much the last jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality all. on the shores of the mississippi river. orleans louisiana. the city is known around the world for its jazz. the famous musician louis armstrong and sidney bishop the born here. in treme an african-american neighborhood. the bethel church is packed this morning . if you're

a. hero right on thirty five was shot and killed during what appears to be a revenge that. they are fairly common in the area. the mother of the victim has already lost a relative in a shootout. should guns kill almost one person every day within the black community. me so i never. dreamed the victim's brother his visit. there was a murder that adults out of for no further regard our lives to sit in the united states but. not at the boards it's always put in a better place doesn't help. putting to caribbean tradition if you must be joining. a funeral march turns into

a celebration of. dances jazz and alcohol companies good to see this town is less. in the world starts today. with this little boy victim. sun life. life. long life. commenced in the cars and three titles in honor of the neighborhood of the deceased the search history. the list the rate has increased by thirty percent this.

new orleans is one of the most dangerous cities in the united states it's also the one considered as the most joyful. its nickname is the big easy. but hurricane katrina struck louisiana in august two thousand and five and it literally saw new orleans. winds over one hundred ninety mph floods over several feet. one thousand were killed. one hundred thousand were forced to leave new orleans falls into chaos and poverty. that skeptics like to see. in the neighborhoods hit by the floods criminality exploded. especially on the eastern part of

the city where murders happen on a daily basis. so simple citizens like brandon gear up to defend themselves. i keep a lot of this stuff handy just in case again something crazy happens active shooter . a young millionaire sidney torres fights to end. the security and the tourist. is what. those little connected to my. backyard said was happening and that you know i'm looking on the g.p.s. right now to see that the machine is. built on swamps new orleans is surrounded by alligators there are more alex they are everywhere. the fact that. plagued by violence not the big easy as falling into chaos.

in treme to reno welcomes us inside his father's home in the house where he grew up but his brother killed by gunfire. was i would love. to out a. war. to reims cuz it was also affected by violence. i'm sixty years though i lost a son down in the wall he was seventy he'll be about thirty eight now he was shot he was shot emergence of a suspected murderer in your mum has several of my friends i mean oh i couldn't come at least over the years by the at least twelve members of my family close members and murder. the reason behind those murders is drug trafficking.

like many others trains brother was a drug dealer he made a lot of money. and this is already at a pretty much lived his life up in the. for the most part managed to use the clown a lot in the usual habit personally when i talk about movies. even using you know clothes as one of the things that we. know when mayhem was the gather. very early on the young man felt deep into criminality most criminals have weapons here. that he's got a lot of. black sheep in the us he wanted all the people. and i don't eat a lot of time. so that's something that i still check for. in

the afternoon goes to the very fancy esplanade everything to go to st anna church. and entire wall is dedicated to the victims of crimes committed in this city. no. less a lot of men. on this one more than three hundred eight for this year only. most of these men and women were shocked. and under thirty. who would have a commemoration so the people that lost their lives said. bill terry the priest came up with the idea to write those names on the walls of his church. and we decided that naming the names of murder victims in

a public display would be helpful in reminding us all that these are human beings. this morning you will add five new names to his memorial including tarim brother. there are so many victims that he no longer has time to have the names of the graves were shot in the september. america raised off a bot. it's not just by one of the least look at the movies america's got all the stuff that goes on in this country so all of that equates to the it's as our it's. the last name that the priest and historians brothers. pray for the truckers. her. military began writing those names eight years ago you will soon run out of space to write the names of the new victims. at the same

moment east of the city a young man was just killed another drug related act of revenge. the police has shut down the neighborhood the local t.v. stations are already there. but it is very real was hit by gunfire going on health. a young cousin of the victim was shot in the arm also admitted he thought well too heavily armed men fired on the young man as he was leaving his home. shell casings are all over the ground bullet holes. the neighborhood is in shock. and. the mother of the victim this devastation that. this is my son. this is still about it thinks he is though he's free and that. the sun is out go

inside that's now gone kill him the law is designed a month of no love in the bullet in my birth the birth of the may in the n.h.l. my life brave enough before you go in his own until you want to move out of the world given the. kind of a risk run every day this is my brother. how big can it. keep it running. through. the effect. the murderers could be from the same neighborhood. is unbelievable so you can identify you know you know you're going. yes oh my nieces and my son i'm not because from aleppo. jacob lives just across the

road from the victim he is also a drug dealer. what happened today doesn't surprise him. it wasn't that most people of my age looked up to him to do which is street light i.e. handy so you can find one she wasn't about to know but what she do home is a like they say you. know. in the black neighborhoods like this for. forty percent of children the below the poverty line. unemployment is twice as high as in the rest of the city. these inequalities have created racial tensions. on the other side of the town in this upmarket area tarina stopped by want to. be doing the fisa trial. she's giving him grief for talking to white journalists.

he was here last then. you have the right but i mean eight. months in times of very immoral mounting. historically oh my ok i'm sure there where they have the.
