teenagers the police rarely do anything more than give them a caution for letting them go again not just because sleep because if you smoke you just get. eight am on friday the sixth of april and you're watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital i'm nick aaron good to have you with us this hour. now our top story accusations were traded at a un security council meeting on thursday the emergency meeting discussed the latest revelations in the investigation into the poisoning of former double agent script pal and his daughter in the u.k. russia called the me single after british law bar a tree that examines the evidence said it could not say where the nerve agent used
1:02 am
was produced artist kelly morgan reports. i wish you wouldn't exist unfortunately we heard nothing new from some of our colleagues who continue to blame russia without any discomfort and demands to shed light on the case you would also like to see the truth and we hope that more truth will come to light soon with this highly likely that should carry doubt success nation we're going to be when they ask for proof they tell us no just confess especially pleased defectors suitable took us for a sense the nation used to good let's look at it cynically why would rush oh wait i'm eight years to decide to act two weeks before the election and a few months before the world cup which is why i was even released from the country in the first place why eliminate him in that strange and dangerous manner the meeting was convened by the russian federation and when the un security council it 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
1:03 am
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 he went on to point out that porton down laboratory which actually tested the chemical substance did not say what the origin of the chemicals was and 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. boris johnson mentioned they have skis crime and punishment saying that the novel's main intrigue was whether the culprit would confess before getting caught the novel by the way is not about that at all it's not of the text of story it's serious work of philosophical literature i would advise boris johnson to read other works of the stay of ski or at least learn the titles of british intelligence has immediately rushed to boris johnson's rescue
1:04 am
just like chippendale it's a theater of the absurd 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 of it is that even austin is turned right but in this particular instance the arsonist wishes to investigate he saying. i am sorry mr president but that does not make it an independent investigation 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
1:05 am
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. where despite apparent says the atmosphere between the russian and u.k. and voice on the sidelines of the meeting was not entirely hostile and you can see vaseline abends that current path found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session the russian and u.k. envoys did cross thawed at the session at one point quoting from lewis carroll's classic alice in wonderland this paper has just been picked up. so that. i haven't done so the word that a bit but it seems to be. written by the reason the do to somebody the prisoners come by being us another of the judy. nor there knots of the word that they would please your majors to serve them a few i didn't but i did and they come provided there is no name signed at the end
1:06 am
if you didn't sign it said the king that only makes the most the words you must have meant some mischief let the jury consider the verdict the king served for about the twenty stone that day nor more subsequent sentence first verdict afterwards. does that remind you of anything as a. very good quote from alice in wonderland that is sometimes i've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast say i think that's the quote that seats my russian colleague best we spoke to a political analyst down glazebrook he believes the ukase evidence is crumbling. in september twenty seventeen the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons actually verify the destruction of russia's entire chemical weapons program the u.s. and the u.k. have never put forward any reasons as to why they doubt the o.p.c. verification here or any evidence that russia still is producing. but that
1:07 am
is that is a very important piece of information that's never never picked up on and secondly the childer the russian chemist who revealed the existence of nava charts published a book with this formula in two thousand and eight saying that it could actually be made with you know fairly simple bits and pieces you get in pesticides and fertilizers and so on so far from the idea that russia is the only power capable producing this stuff what about what britain's gained out of all of this britain has gained. has got twenty eight countries to expel russian diplomats now hasn't britain been trying to reach this campaign of isolation against russia for years now and hasn't this amazingly played into this campaign so if we're going to just reduce everything to all watch countries go to form and the motive then britain's on very shaky grounds accusing russia and that's why it's so important to have evidence rather than just talking about motives jaclyn viggo now investigates how
1:08 am
the media continue to push death and facial narrative based on the anonymous source with. the screwball case saw an explosive twist earlier this week when experts at porton down revealed they couldn't determine where the nerve agent was made a u.k. military lopper tory is stunned but we're not the media and their sources have it covered. the times' has revealed its sources believe that they have pinpointed the facility where the military grade nerve agent was made and surprise surprise it's in russia the sun isn't certain but says it's near moscow so this is not one hundred percent about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the often of allowed is one of a handful in the world that can produce nova chuck the sun has exclusively uncovered a moscow suburb lab that the o.p.c. w. couldn't use their prime you know. it's well there was
1:09 am
a short lived hope that accusations against russia could fade. on tuesday the times tweeted a picture of the next day's front page with the headline may battles to preserve alliance against russia and told of ten downing street dismay that the global coalition against russia was being undermined but that article has now gone with a link taking you to another story. we asked the times for an explanation and they told us it reflects a developing story explaining that the text was changed rather than adding a new article to avoid peppering their site with additional articles on the same thing although it's not clear how a story on isolating russia and boris johnson misleading the public can be considered the same thing come next day back to what sells best. and i one of the most visited cities in the world some locals are living in fear as gallons take over their streets altie went to meet the residents of
1:10 am
a crime ridden neighborhood in paris. as you exit the metro in much of paris is. the first thing in a 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. who sees police stopping young men and searching their banks. locals say terrorized by a group of around sixty juveniles migrants from morocco but because they teenagers the police rarely do anything more than give them
1:11 am
a caution before letting go again. with knives the time of night when it's no. fights except the. roof like the. it's like. you know it's like. it's. like you know it would be. yeah yeah it's. easy. this is part of the gang he was referring to they look like young children but local 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 .
1:12 am
but the smoke of the street. to. the city was white to you with the seven. year itch when you sent it flying off the streets but it seems almost no interest to support it seems they prefer to live on the streets surviving on the mystery but it's. not our us opposition politician mackell to told is that the paris police are overstretched and the government should do more. to determine what is police in the eighteenth district of paris are 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 are doing their best but they should be judicial response to that a strong response from the government and there is none we are living in
1:13 am
a country where in certain places delinquency and violence are rampant with no punishment. for thousands of people or google have called on the tech giant to cancel its cooperation with the pentagon artificial intelligence project in a letter to google's chief executive the employees pointed out that involvement in the business of war could harm the company's reputation whose motto is don't be evil we believe that google should not be in the business of war therefore we ask that project may even be canceled building this technology to assist the u.s. government in military surveillance and potentially lethal outcomes is not acceptable project maven is described by google employees as a customized artificial intelligence engine it's said to detect and track objects in images provided by u.s. government drones and sends the results to the pentagon. and while google's
1:14 am
management described the project as known offensive in nature the tech giants involvement with the pentagon has still lead to divisions inside the company the military link was first reported last month and the employee's letter also points out that it could damage google's brand and its ability to compete for talent defined sexperts market said it's admirable that a corporation has defended their ideals it's very exciting to see a movement arise among google employees of concern about. their company's current tradition and the world structure towards trauma's weapons i'm not so sure that you know this letter or if google does what the letter asked them to do namely sever its involvement in this project maven how big of a difference that's going to make to the pentagon's africa i can't really say they're using open source software that google makes available to anybody so
1:15 am
somebody else could just come along and use the google software and and other resources to do the same kind of work for the pentagon but i think it's still very important to see this kind of statement being made by the employees of google where we've requested a comment on the story from google on the company's spokesperson told us that conversations about new technologies with employees are hugely important and beneficial the statement also pointed out once again that this hack knowledge in question is non-offensive and is intended to save lives and save people from having to do tedious work. well former top aide of toppled libyan leader muammar gadhafi fears arrest if he comes back to the country after a missouri who was in exile in two newsier is a key witness in the corruption case against france's former president nicolas sarkozy besides being gadhafi is chief interpreter missouri was also
1:16 am
a trusted adviser been seen myself how the money was passed on but there is a witness who can first he passed the money himself no more gadhafi admitted numerous times during various t.v. interviews that he gave the money to circles and he told that to me personally as well once he told me i donated twenty million to him so cozy is under formal investigation for illegally receiving millions of euro from gadhafi for his successful two thousand and seven presidential campaign he vehemently denies the allegations left in missouri explained how the financing came about. in late two thousand and five then french interior minister nicolas sarkozy made a trip to libya he first met his libyan counterpart their meeting lasted for about forty minutes during which serco zee unveiled his plans to run for president in two thousand and seven the libyan leader said that for him that was good news and it
1:17 am
would be great if libya's friend and his personal friend were to become president of france gadhafi promised to provide serco z. with any help and his full support after sarkozy officially announced he was running for president i heard that his campaign managers met with libyan officials they wrote up a special document which contained a request for financial support from the libyan government to sarkozy's presidential campaign the sum was fifty million euros the document was sent to the libyan foreign ministry and then to the libyan leader's office gadhafi saw it and he ordered for the sum to be reduced to twenty million euros trump was thousands of national guard units at the mexican border while his wall is built well on not off the bike.

1:20 am
we were denied by the israel airport authority we wanted to pay for it it's. because 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 or that they didn't want it to be in the airport. well in recent years there have been a number of disputes between female passengers and. excuse me ultra-orthodox men so even lead to flight delays and cancellations one case in particular hit headlines last year a court ruled in favor of an eighty three year old holocaust survivor who felt humiliated after she was asked to change his feet running a robineau it retired lawyer agreed to move but sued israel's national airline for discrimination the israel religious action center again released a video explaining what rights women have in this situation there's
1:21 am
a growing trend already men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes the demands of the female passenger the move or else you going to sit down instead of telling the men to sit down the woman is dealt with severe pressure by. the flight attendant until she gives up and moves from bird seat i know that we don't generally it's not. this way but some do think that's brewing that the airlines should be very very clear saying if you have now you're seeing 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. donald trump was to deploy thousands of national guard officers to patrol the mexican border and told the wall between america and mexico is built. we have to have strong borders we're going to have the war we've already started building it we have a billion sticks we've started building good instruction miles and miles of wall
1:22 am
that's already up in tents and we're going to have our war and we're going to get it very strongly the military is going to be building some of the president thinks from two to four thousand guards on needed to contain the flow of illegal migrants and drug trafficking this follows a surge in attempted crossings from mexico since march two thousand and seventeen mexico has voiced its alarm over the plan to militarize nation all of the border countries now threatening to suspend cooperation with the u.s. on immigration and security see on their protests even though much of the senate public categorically rejects president donald trump's intention of militarizing the border remax e.q. and considers distraction as an additional grievance. or we got some reaction to the border plans from john william louden a former republican member of the missouri senate and also tiger barry code pink activist i spent the last six years living in california right on the mexican
1:23 am
border i saw the influx. i saw illegal immigrants crossing 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 a lot salah see i watch the united states has nothing to fear sending the national guard is to block an invasion and by the way my friend tries to out california me santa monica isn't about as are as crazy as though we have asian protections at our border in the southern part of california are so secure that we have nothing to worry about there are people in california who have thirty years of life there with businesses with kids they're growing up and they're there they're establishing
1:24 am
lives they protect us in so many ways i support robust immigration a guest worker program it's illegal immigration that's the problem so we have to discourage all illegal crossing we should we should not be holding out a carrot like that and saying some people can cross and be welcome. to get to have your say on all of us stories by following us on social media we'll be back in about twenty minutes with all the latest. after weeks of media hysterics an official claims without a shred of evidence the case that russia was behind the solsbury poisoning incident
1:25 am
is falling apart transparency in the rule of law have never played a role in what happens next sadly is only too predictable. also was to question whether it was very reasonable to react with sanctions and up breaking the dialogue between the russia and the western countries. as one of those countries that is firmly convinced that it is necessary and will be necessary to keep up this dialogue and still talk. about all the metros. then what brought them that he will buckle go on. board will pull you out of a. bit in the mountains in what about and i did india
1:26 am
it will always be the good is it that's the. household. on it i think. if it were done or done that you people come up with a good. content and not about the holonomy of them having the gram of the money on his i'm. not bad with the internet but oh november that if i say i give them they're going to like about on the number that they have the only thing it is about. china retaliates with tariffs of their own is this a trade war donald trump says no. we'll take a look at that on this edition. of
1:27 am
the politicking on larry king in a move that was not surprising the most china announced tariffs of their own on u.s. goods in response and not retaliate. to the trumpet ministrations tariffs on products from china let's talk about what's happening there with lani chin lonny is a research fellow. served in the george w. bush administration was an advisor to marco rubio's and mitt romney's presidential campaigns and he joins us from the beautiful campus at stanford university in palo alto california but lani given china's new tower of move is this a trade war now. larry i don't think so i think if you look at it in the grand scheme of what could have been in fact what we're looking at now is a relatively minor set of activity on both the u.s.
1:28 am
side as well as the chinese side now the question is will this escalate into something more will there be additional tariffs applied by the united states additional retaliation by china as of now though what we have is a relatively limited and circumscribed set of activities on both sides the uncertainty larry is really the issue here we don't know where it's going on our side we don't know where it's going on the chinese side and i think those are questions that remain to be answered this seems like they have a lot in there being the way they can. sell out all their stocks right. they don't well they go on the money. so they they do have a lot of u.s. treasuries they do have the ability certainly on that front on the trade front there is also the possibility that they could impose tariffs in a way that would be highly problematic for certain u.s.
1:29 am
industries so yes china has a lot of leverage but don't forget we have a lot of leverage here too going forward the question is how much of that leverage the president wants to use and whether in fact the goal here is really to get to the chinese to get them to the negotiating table to forge a better long term trade deal with that country i think that's the big wildcard here no one exactly knows what the long term strategy is for the trumpet ministration in dealing with china in this way and i think that ultimately remains the biggest reason why you see markets so jittery and a lot of analysts concerned about where this could lead china's putting in turn vine soybeans the biggest. iowa missouri and indiana let's have an impact in the mid terms. very strategic on the part of the chinese larry they're going after states first of all where president trump did well but second of all where there are political equities at play this year you're absolutely right that it creates
1:30 am
a difficult situation for republicans in those states are they going to be in favor of this activity that trump has undertaken knowing that potentially in the long run it could lead to economic issues in their states it could lead to economic issues for example for farmers and ranchers this is a question alternately that will have to play out how these candidates will respond how trump will continue to escalate or not the trade war with china but make no mistake the chinese are being very strategic in their response to president trump's activity well the trump administration has published those of thirteen hundred chinese exports could be subject to twenty five percent tariff. warning it would take measures of equal intensity in scale wouldn't that be a trade war well again i think the question becomes how extensive this u.s. list actually is we're going into a peer.
