agents of the police rarely do anything more than give them with caution for letting them go again just because it's because it is not. just because. nine am here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me and carol good to have you with us this hour. the diplomatic standoff between russia and the u.k. over the poisoning of former double agents ok scott powell and his daughter has intensified as an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council long thursday russia said that britain was playing with fire kucing moscow of perpetrating the attack the u.k. reiterate to dissolve a geisha in that it was highly likely that russia was responsible. i wish you wouldn't exist unfortunately we heard nothing new from some of our colleagues who
2:02 am
continue to blame russia without any discomfort and demands to shed light on the case we'd also like to see the truth and we hope that more truth will come to light soon with this highly likely russia carried out this excess nation. when we ask for proof they tell us no just confess especially peace defectors a suitable talk kristensen nation used to go to let's look at it cynically why would russia wait eight years and decide to act two weeks before the election and a few months before the world cup why was he even allowed to leave 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 were leveled against russia just hours after the attack it taken place and that
2:03 am
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 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 . 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 just like chippendale it's a theater of the absurd now russia has offered a job. joint investigation into the incident however it seems pretty clear that the
2:04 am
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 i find most is that have been lost in this ten fire fight 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 yulia 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
2:05 am
make assumptions and to look into the actual facts of the case. but despite apparent says the atmosphere between the russian and u.k. and voice was not entirely hostile as you can see vassily in a benz and karen pace found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session but they did cross the literary thoughts in an exchange quoting lewis carroll's classic and i think wonderland this paper has just been picked up. so that. i haven't done so the word that i've been but it seems to be. written by the prison the dude to somebody the prisoners come by being us you know the judy. nor there not so the word the baby blues you made was to serve the me if i didn't but i did and you can prove i did there is no name signed to do. if you didn't sign the king that only makes the most the words you must have meant some means to let the jury consider devoted to the king so what about the twenty stone
2:06 am
that the normal. sentence first verdict afterwards. does that remind you of anything it's a. very good quote from alice in wonderland this is sometimes i believe it's many it's six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quaked seats my question clearly best we spoke to political analyst downplays berkeley believes that the u.k.'s 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. o.p.c. w.'s verification here that is a very important piece of information that's never never picked up on and secondly the childer that the russian chemist who revealed the existence of knowledge charts
2:07 am
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 now hasn't britain been trying to rage this campaign of isolation against russia for years now so if we're going to just reduce everything to all watch countries got to form in their 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. meanwhile the u.k. media is continuing to push a sensational narrative based on anonymous sources one major newspaper claims that the nerve agent used was produced near mosco and other insists there's a weapons lab in southern russia jacqueline picks up the story the script locator 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.
2:08 am
military laboratory 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 son isn't certain but says it's near moscow sources not one hundred percent certain 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 snow or chalk the sun has exclusively uncovered a moscow suburb lab that the o.p.c. w. couldn't use. its it well there was 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
2:09 am
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 coming next day back to what sells best. thousands of people google have called on the tech giant to cancel its cooperation with a pentagon official in artificial intelligence projects 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
2:10 am
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 management described the project as non-offensive in nature the tech giants involvement with the pentagon has still had two divisions inside of the company the military in link was first reported last month and the employees left also points out that it could damage google's brand and its ability to compete for talent defense expert margaret byrd said it's admirable that people have defended their ideals it's. a movement.
2:11 am
of concern. their company's current tradition and the world structured 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 afterwards i can't really say they're using open source software that google makes available to anybody so 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 we requested a comment on the story from google and the company's spokesperson told us that conversations about new technologies with employees are hugely important and beneficial the statement also pointed once again that the technology in question is
2:12 am

welcome back a former top aide of toppled libyan leader muammar gadhafi fears the rest if he comes back to the country must the missouri he's in exile in tunis the is a key witness in a corruption case against france's former president nicolas sarkozy besides being gadhafi is chief interpreter missouri was also a trusted adviser. and see myself how the money was passed on but there is a witness who confessed he passed the money himself margaret daffy admitted numerous times during various t.v. interviews that he gave the money to circle z. he told that to me personally as well once he told me i donated twenty million to him sarkozy is under formal investigation for illegally receiving millions of euros
2:17 am
from gadhafi for his successful two thousand and seven presidential campaign he vehemently denies the allegations most are missouri explained how the financing came up out. well senator 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 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 so the sum was fifty million euro's but the document was sent
2:18 am
to the libyan foreign ministry and then to the libyan leader's office and the gadhafi saw it and he ordered for the sum to be reduced to twenty million euros. as well forty is have blocked advertisements urging female passengers not to change their seats on planes if asked to do so by ultra-orthodox jewish men the men refused to sit next to women because of their strict religious beliefs but boards in tel aviv airport were due to go out during the passover holiday saying ladies please take your seat and keep it we spoke to the director of the israeli religious action center the group behind the campaign. and what we wanted to do this that's a risk this month is passive aggressive because of the here in israel a lot of people are traveling one to two. and a poster which is basically a public service announcement letting women know of their greatest passengers and
2:19 am
we were denied by the israel airport authority whether to pay for the. loss of you they just said that the campaign was that authorized. and when we turned to the media when the media asked them they said that it was no inflammatory but it was a controversial campaign or that they didn't want it to be in the airport. in recent years there have been a number of disputes between female passengers and ultra-orthodox men some of even lead to flight delays and cancellations one case in particular hit the 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 her seat when a rabinowitz a retired lawyer agreed to move but sued israel's national airline for discrimination but years around religious action center again released a video explaining what rights women have in their situation there's
2:20 am
a growing trend already men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes because of the demands of the female passenger on the move or else he believes it's done instead of telling the men to sit down the woman is dealt with severe pressure by presenters and the flight attendant until she gives up a strong burst the. first i want to make sure that we don't generalize. this way but some do think that's brewing that the airline 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 now going to be. on our truck once to deploy thousands of national guard personnel to patrol the mexican border until the war 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 it and structuring miles and miles of wall
2:21 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 that president trump things from two to four thousand guards are 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 when mexico has voiced its alarm over the planned militarization of the border the country's now threatening to suspend cooperation with the u.s. on immigration and security see on the price even a senate debris pile that categorically rejects president diatoms intention of militarizing the border with mexico and considers distraction as an additional grievance we got some reaction to the border plans from john william louden a former republican member of the missouri senate and author tiger barry a code pink activist. i spent the last six years living in california right on the
2:22 am
mexican border i saw the influx i saw 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 there to cross the border into the united states this is what's alice 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 is not as easy as you know 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
2:23 am
up and they're there they're establishing 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. as always here and would love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines we'll see you then. thanks guys are scientists like they say many of the delegates are. going to take it easy this is a central plank so for dying at the moment the problem might be stopped.

decide to over sanctions and aster is one of those nine countries. but does it feel like you are being pressured because you are not united with a great britain on this no i do not see of course the question was i think. probably the british presentation held high plausibility otherwise all the members of the you would not have decided to make. your lattimer's declaration but in the question of the sanctions opinions different because of cause there was no clear proof on the one hand and on the other hand still also was to question whether it was very reasonable to react with sanctions under braking the dialogue between russia and the western countries and as one of those
