russia's u.n. envoy described the u.k.'s allegations in the screwball poisoning case as absurd during a tense meeting at the security council. archytas it's a district of paris where the soaring crime rate has been blamed on gangs of migrant teenagers. plus a campaign for israeli women to keep their seats on airplanes instead of switching with the ultra orthodox jewish man is blocked by the authorities. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international thomas to have you with us now world powers have concluded a meeting at the u.n. security council on the screen paul poisoning case the russian ambassador addressed

the chamber for more than half an hour slamming the u.k.'s claims of kremlin involvement in last month's attack on the former double agent and his daughter. just good it's when you let's look at it cynically why would russia wait eight as you decide to write two weeks you lose the election to the in a few months because it won't come cheap to me why was he even released from the country in the first place why eliminates him in a strange dangerous monitors the meeting was convened by the russian federation and when the un security council gathered the meeting opened with remarks by the russian ambassador in which he essentially said that moscow is demanding answers he pointed out the allegations were leveled against russia just hours after the attack a taken place and that those allegations are hard to believe as neither boris johnson or theresa may or chemical experts who went on to point out that porton down laboratory which actually tested the chemical substances did not say what the

origin of the chemicals was it had no way of determining that now we then heard from the russian representative and the ambassador of the russian federation said that the allegations were absurd. and so it's lost a little more strength and mentioned don't stand crime and punishment saying given the its main intrigue was whether the culprit would confess before getting cool the novel by the way is not about once a tool it's not a detective story it's a work of serious philosophical literature i would advise bruce johnson to read other words of the stand skis or at least learn the titles of little british intelligence has immediately rushed to burst once and rescued most of the instantly but it was if. you see now russia has offered a joint investigation into the incident however it seems pretty clear that the united kingdom does not want that these are the remarks that we heard from the ambassador representing the united kingdom before the security council mr president there are several ways to view this joint investigation i think the message for

this and i find most that is that have been lost in this ten five fight but in this particular instance the arsonist wishes to invest. he's saying. i am sorry mr president but that does not make it an independent investigation not being what it is to admit we didn't but we are telling you that we did not they say there is no non-school in our school how we did it and when we asked for any proof they tell us no just confesses that would be best for you uli a scriptural has actually given her first statement to the u.k. police and she is apparently recovering from the incident so a lot of questions are remaining and this could be the beginning of a new chapter in the investigation into what exactly happened in salisbury but the focus of the meeting seemed to be russia you know strongly urging the world not to make assumptions and to look into the actual facts of the case. well private

investor and author charles or tell told of the screwball case is being used by some in the u.k. and u.s. as a distraction from domestic problems. it just doesn't make any sense it doesn't serve russia's interest what it does do is it serves to heighten the tensions between the u.k. and russia maybe now the u.s. and russia and who benefits from that i think it's elements within the american deep state and allied actors in the u.k. this comes at the same time as we have lingering serious questions over the provenance of the steel dossier and you know how this robert muller investigation actually came to happen so you know i think we we really need to you know calm down a little bit and search for evidence jointly and i don't i don't like it what i what i see somebody make claims that aren't supported. well during the security council session the russian and u.k. envoys traded accusations and at one point they resorted to quoting from lewis

carroll's classic alice in wonderland to come yet please your majesty so the word that i've been jumping up in the great hurry this paper has just been picked up what's in it so the. i haven't opened it yet so the word habit but it seems to be a letter written by the prison the dude to somebody it must have been that sued the king unless it was that he did nobody other than the prison scandal idling us in other of the judum nor their knots of the word the baby and that stick with his thing you bugged the jew do you look puzzled he must've imitated somebody his own sense of the king the junior all brightened up again. please your majesty of the me i didn't write it and the come provided there is no name signed that the m if you didn't sign it says the king that only makes the mother words you must have meant some mischief let the jury consider the verdict the king served for about the twentieth time that the normal course of the queen sentence first verdict

afterwards woman does that remind you of anything as a. very good quote from alice in wonderland this is sometimes i believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quote. russian colleague best. well in spite of the serious overtones to the u.n. meeting the atmosphere between the russian and the u.k. envoys was not entirely hostile as you can see only. the care and peers found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session. weapons case against russia has been somewhat undermined by a controversial claim from the u.k. foreign minister artie's but does he have has his very own personal take on the story. it's a right old kid on drugs on the one hand you skip the trial screamed guilty and

jump to the punishment part on the other your own guys come out and say hold on there's no evidence and i was his by were living experts at the defense science and technology laboratory at portadown made clear that this was a military grade nobby choke nerve agent produced in russia we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that well that's embarrassing alright keep calm first google back on your word and just to be sure delete any old tweets then riposte experts who say the opposite of what you said our experts have precisely identified in their region as nabil

chalk it is not and has never been our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent now pretend that nothing happened which is hard to do in the end to that really the brits ended up having to explain themselves and conveniently scapegoated the poor fellow who transcribed the briefing one of the tweets was truncated and did not accurately report her master's words we removed this tweet you remember what i said about scapegoating he really did but barge johnson himself had said almost the same thing said it's on video you argue that their source of chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from the people from from porton dollars. they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt wouldn't want to be in their shoes right about now yet they did find

a way around it a simple statement saying that boris johnson didn't mean it like that what the foreign secretary said then and what putin donna said recently is fully consistent with what we've said throughout having taken things so far so far they can't afford to do a u. turn this investigation could end in two ways with proof of russia's guilt or with an uncomfortable silence and hope that everyone forgets until then boris keep doing what you do every day you are the one thing going on there is no national production. it's the government russia. of surrogates people is not an isolated case but the latest in a pack of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians the

russian russia russia russia russia tomorrow i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and boris johnson has serious questions too about he claimed on german television that this was a russian produced nerve agent and porton down then examined it and said all that if i was a sniper trial they couldn't say where it came from. opposition politicians in the u.k. have been ridiculing boris johnson on twitter the shadow home secretary said that perhaps mr johnson might also want to delete that german t.v. interview other stressed the need to check evidence while labor politician chris williams and called johnson downright dangerous and says that the incident being used as a diversionary tactic. it seems to me the government were indulging in political point scoring particularly boris johnson who raced ahead of the evidence and used

this terrible incident not so much as a smoking gun but more of a smokescreen really it was a very convenient wasn't for the government to use this as a way of diverting attention from their own difficulties over bricks policy and you know at the end of the day it's pretty clear that boris johnson did not tell the truth he told the german interviewer that. scientist doubt it said it was without doubt that the agents had to come from russia so i think germany called it was absolutely right to caution to ask for clear evidence before we start to raise international tensions but we need to get to the bottom in the evidence and jeremy said this seemed to point towards russia but let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way this is huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence and let all the evidence. and

one of the most visited cities in the world of some locals who are living in fear as gangs take over their streets r.t. went to meet residents of a crime ridden neighborhood in paris. as you exit the metro in much of paris is. the first thing you notice the groups of young men. locals claim. mostly africa they say they form gangs and generally wreak havoc theft is common and it's clear even the police this area as problematic within minutes were offered advice from an officer. to see police stopping young men and searching their banks. locals say terrorized by a group of around sixty juveniles migrants from morocco but because teenagers the

police rarely do anything more than give them a caution before letting go again. with knives the time of night when the kids don't. like five six of them. looks like the. it's like yeah you know it's. like. it's. like you know that would be. yes yeah yeah. this is part of the gang he was referring to they look like young children but locals say they've had enough of them fifteen hundred have signed a petition for action those who know the area say residents are taking precautions

. but the but the first solo the she. got to. the city it was like to deal with what the teacher said. your way when you sent it flying off the streets but it seems almost no interest to support it seems that the two little streets surviving on the mystery of its charlotte. russe. opposition politician. have told us the french government needs to take much tougher action against teenage tax it would you said you determine what the police in the eighteenth district of paris is doing what they can they have a huge amount of work they need to control the entire area where there is

a growing problem with delinquency they doing their best but they should be judicial response to the strong response in the government and there is none of that we are living in a country where in certain places delinquency and violence are rampant with no punishments. facebook has admitted that the scale of a recently uncovered data breach was far larger than previously thought the web giant says that profiles of up to eighty seven million people could have been shared with a research firm cambridge analytic however the company that is accused of illegally using the information disputes that saying its reach was much smaller in total we believe the phrasebook information of up to eighty seven million people mostly in the us may have been improperly shared with cambridge and. cambridge analytical license data for no more than thirty million people were consultancy firm is accused of using the private information of facebook users for targeted political campaigning among the companies client list were donald trump hillary clinton and

barack obama and it appears many politicians across the globe have also used cambridge analytical services in an attempt to swaying public opinion. but facebook is now saying cambridge analytic is not alone in trying to mine private data and almost all of the networks two billion accounts may have been compromised internet law and media experts told us that there is a lack of awareness about how people's data is being used. kember generally the guys denying the figure they claim there is only thirty million but i don't think it makes a lot of the from the very thirty million to late in the year and i think it is the principle behind the old story about what about the use of internet robots as we call them books. in order to meddle with the us elections now still stories seem now a little bit out of 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 him to leave the boxes today that it was then being you're doing election is the this story was about influencing election but by body. rather than access the news is they 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. israeli authorities have blocked advertisements urging female passengers not to switch seats with ultra orthodox jewish men on airplanes billboards in tel aviv airport were due to go up during the passover holiday saying

ladies please take your seat and keep it traditionally orthodox jewish men refuse to sit next to women because of their religious beliefs and it can cause delays the director of the israeli religious action center told us about the campaign. and what we wanted to do this passover of this month is passover it's a big holiday here in israel and a lot of people are traveling wanted to. hang a poster which is basically a public service announcement letting women know if their rights is passengers and we were denied by the israel airport authority we wanted to pay for it. most of the they just said the campaign was not authorized. and when we turned to the media when the media asked them they said that it was not inflammatory but it was a controversial campaign and they didn't want it to be in the airports. in recent years the number of disputes between female passengers and ultra-orthodox man has

increased some women have taken their complaints to court now a year ago a judge ruled in favor of a woman who said she felt humiliated after being asked to move she was eighty three year old rene rabinowitz a holocaust survivor and retired lawyer she sued israel's national airline for discrimination the court ordered the airline to pay eight hundred dollars in compensation the israel religious action center again released a video explaining what rights women have in this situation. there's a growing trend the courageous men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes because of the demands of the female passenger in the movie or in the seebohm sit down instead of telling the men to sit down the woman is dealt with severe pyu pressure by fellow passengers and the flight attendant until she gives up and from her seat and it was first i want to make sure that we don't generalize it's not all. this way but some do we've had several reports of a case where. an author of the man who was. refused to sit

next to a woman you had the boarding. boarding pass with the seat just next to a woman didn't arrange the head of time and there was no place for him to move and the woman next to him didn't want to see what he does he doesn't want to sit down if he refuses to sit down then he delays the entire flight and so both the flight attendant and other passengers begin to pressuring begin pressuring the women to move and that's basically what we're opposing we think that's billing i think that the airline should be very very clear saying if you have not arranged you're sitting with this were. before boarding then you have to either take your seat or get off the plane and you're not going to be compensated. u.k. has opened a military base in bahrain housing five hundred navy personnel and inauguration ceremony was held on thursday it is the first time in

a british base in the middle east since the one nine hundred seventy s. and will be able to serve minesweepers and aircraft carriers construction was funded mainly by bahrain well maybe commander steve dainton said that the facility will help bolster security on the shipping routes end of the war maybe being altshuler anyway is to enhance and ensure security in the in the region and whether or not touch. more than on the high seas culturing piracy countering terrorism. making sure that the high seas all. for the free flow of commerce the free flow of trade to be able to say place british military support for bahrain comes despite global scrutiny of the gulf monarchies human rights record human rights watch has accused to the country of widespread torture and jailing peaceful protesters political analyst downgrades told us that the u.k. has a long history of propping up hardline regimes in the middle east. rein saudi

arabia the same families in power today were put in power by a british right britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth century they've always depended on britain and to an extent the usa for their own survival and this was the deal britain will control your foreign policy. and will but will provide your security will naval you to stay in power so they're beefing up their military presence in the region and the beefing up. their naval presence in bahrain is was all is all part of that so what's in it for bahrain is regime survival they will not be empowered as a ruling family without that western support so the west gets to demand naval bases or whatever it wants and even demand that they pay for them because it knows this is the quid pro quo they won't survive without the west support so they have to accept it because if britain and the us withdraw their support for the bahraini ruling clique they'll be overthrown tomorrow. students at the florida school where seventeen people were killed by a teenager in february speaking out against

a new security measures there one survivor expressed her frustration at students being told to use seethrough backpacks which is one of the school's new safety measures the youngsters say that they want well thought out changes not useless quick fixes samir khan reports. 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 marjorie 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 i have seen a 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

washington d.c. . u.s. president has signed an order to deploy the national guard on the mexican border until his long awaited wall is built. so we have to have strong boaters we're going to have the wall we've already started building we're working out systems now and we called out the national guard and you know we're doing a real job but i'll tell you what the laws of this country have to be strengthened and toughen up the president said he plans to send between two and four thousand troops to the border this follows a more than two hundred percent surge in attempted crossings from mexico since march two thousand and seventeen this according to official data mexico has voiced its alarm over the planned militarization of the border the country's senate has passed a resolution with the support of the president threatening to suspend cooperation with the u.s. on immigration and security see on the price even tell not true the senate did republic categorically rejects cries you know donald trump's intention of

militarizing the border remax yukio and considers distraction as an additional grievance and we got some reaction to the border plans from john william louden former republican member of the missouri senate and also tighe barry from code pink it's one hundred percent security any country should should be allowed the right to defend itself i spent the last six years living in california right on the mexican border i saw the influx by the way the people of california the elitists on the coasts are very happy to allow the influx for their various reasons but the people that are suffering are not the coast tolly it's their the people inland that have seen crime sore and and are nervous about their children at school and everything else they live in santa monica i happen to be here in miami but i am from santa monica california my kids live there i've been to the border i've been to rosarito

. there is no people washing their cross the border into the united states this is what's alice e. i watch the united states has nothing to fear there are i mean you can claim you did but it's not a reality if anyone goes to the border you would see i watched you can't wash around the wall well here's my question gave no i know the wall is larry already sending the national guard is to block an invasion and by the way my friend tries to out california me santa monica is not as he was crazy has no way of age and he and he mentioned are going to live in the rosa rio here there is no invasion from mexico mexico is so much more reliant on people crossing the border than us a little tactic like closing some lanes crossing the border and look on like the

member of a santa mot the resident of santa monica is a lead as it gets i lived right on the border and i've crossed those lanes many times you close a few of those lanes and mexico will change dramatically not allege and i'm driven mind and you have a question a willing to use it of course the problem with california is that we export our prisoners to honduras we export our prisoners to el salvador we export the murderers to these that's a problem in mexico all the biggest and hundreds hold on hold on a problem because they're free to roam they are free to roam in el salvador to about two minutes and let it go and and in honduras we have about even this left and i want to ask and they create the thing that you call isis i want to i want to ask this way there are problem but it's america's problem it is our problem and we created these criminals. are right that as
