russia demands arms of the u.n. security council at an emergency meeting called by moscow on the script poisoning moscow slams the u.k.'s blame game as a theater of the absurd. we have told our british colleagues that we are playing with fire and then me and in a bad way. don't be evil thousands of google employees call in the tech giant to enter cooperation with the pentagon reminding the company that its multo doesn't fit with the business of war. and artie visits a paris district where the soaring crime rate has been blamed on gangs of migrant. locals say they're being terrorized by a group of lone sixty juveniles migrants for more rocco but because they're

teenagers the police rarely do anything more than give them with caution before letting them go again just because because it is not. just because it's. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron our top story this hour russia says the u.k. is playing with fire when accusing moscow of poisoning former double agent script powell and his daughter at an emergency meeting of the un security council on thursday russia's envoy pointed to major in consistencies and the claims made by britain the u.k. once again reiterated it sally geisha that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for the attack. unless it goes a little simple so glum witnessed how the main argument of the british side that

russia was undoubtedly behind the attack has crumbled british intelligence has immediately rushed to boris johnson's rescue just like chippendale the daily mail has reported that u.k. intelligence has top secret information from sources that claim russia has been testing the novi choke nerve agent on objects like door knobs prior to the salisbury attack gentleman i don't even know how to comment on that this is a theater of the absurd could you come up with a more believable hoax although we know the value of british intelligence thanks to tony blair well we have told our british colleagues that they are playing with fire and they may end up in a bad way. 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 and 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 substance did not say what the origin of the chemicals was it had no way of determining that 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 the time i find it is that have been lost in this ten five but in this particular instance beyond sinister which is 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 just you know. if this incredibly powerful substance has been sprayed at his house or on his door knob and this is what apparently the investigation is leaning towards how could sergei and you'll be in a normal state for the next few hours given the fact that sergeant nick bailey who was the first one to help him immediately lost consciousness how could they all have survived the only explanation is that everyone was immediate. given an antidote to do that according to experts a sample of the exact same not just a similar substance had to be somewhere nearby 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.

but despite appearances the atmosphere between the russian and u.k. envoys was not entirely hostile as you can see by selena benz and karen pierce found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session but they did not cross literary says but they did cross literary stored in an exchange quoting lewis carroll's classic alice in wonderland this paper has just been picked up what's in it so the. i haven't gotten it yet so the word that i would but it seems to be a letter written by the prison the dude to somebody the prison scandal writing us in other of the judum nor their knots of the word the baby please your majesty said the maid i didn't write it and they come provided there is no name signed the damned if you didn't sign it said 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 that they know more so the sentence first verdict afterwards woman 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 so i think that's the quote suits my russian colleague best. we spoke to political analyst don glazebrook who 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 the. verification here that is a very important piece of information that's never never picked up on and secondly the actual the russian chemist who revealed the existence of knowledge of us

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 do 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 on me while the u.k. media is continuing to push a sensational narrative based on anonymous thoughts this one major newspaper claims the nerve agent was produced near moscow on another insists there's a weapons lab in southern russia jacqueline vehicle 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.

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 certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the yeltsin 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. wu couldn't use their programming you know. it's you it's 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

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. thousands more palestinians are expected to join a rally and guards there on friday twenty people have died since violent demonstrations started at the israeli border a week ago within the last few hours israeli forces have raided a camp set up by protesters our correspondent paula slayer is there for us and joins us live paula we're hearing reports that israel has deployed tanks and

snipers at the border how tense is the situation there right now. well i'm standing on the israeli side of the israel gaza border and of course it's still tense here but much more tense inside gaza what you can see behind me are plumes of smoke this comes from burning tires and during the course of the day it is expected that some ten thousand tires will be burnt in what has been dubbed the friday of tires this area is a closed military zone so i'm surrounded by police who are ordering us off to one side at the same time the army has brought in reinforcements they're trying to avoid a repeat of last week when seventeen palestinian protesters were killed now we are being told that the army plans to use. to disperse the crowds at the same time the army used receiving information that in addition to the burning of tires some of the palestinian protesters plan to use mirrors to try and obstruct the line of vision of the snipers that you spoke about we are hearing also that two protesters

died during the course of the morning the details at this stage are a little unclear from what i've managed to piece together it seems one was injured last friday and died of his injuries today and another is a protester who is a really big. killed this morning but that information still needs to be verified there is of course international condemnation against the israeli side for using what is being termed excessive force we're hearing from the united nations who wants an independent investigation carried out as to why the israelis are using live fire on an armed protesters but these raids for bayside insist that many of those coming close to the border fence are in fact militants they say that they soldiers are being fired at with live gunfire as well as molotov cocktails today is the second of what is planned to be six weeks of protests and the battle of the march of return is there are large tents that have been erected some three hundred meters from the gaza border fence behind me and we are hearing from hamas that they

plan for as many as fifty thousand people to turn out during the course of today both sides are bracing for more violence and just to remind you of what has already transpired. our our our our our was. was. was .

was was. there for. the protests for a thing i remember the wall the fire was. work dryly you fight for your lover. now the gazans say they will continue to protest against the israeli occupation already yesterday thursday there were two hot spots across gaza. as well as the area of sure. so we're bracing for more violence the situation here on the border extremely tense thank you for that report paula sleigh reporting live there from the gaza border. thousands of people at google have called on the tech

giant to cancel its cooperation with the pentagon also official intelligence projects and 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. projects 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 led to divisions inside the company the military 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 that's despite competitors like amazon and microsoft already being involved with defense contracts because former boss eric schmidt has been head of the pentagon's defense evasion advisory board since two thousand and sixteen and while defense expert mark cooper says it's admirable that google's employees aren't defending the company's core ideal he adds it's unlikely to change the corporation's plans it's very exciting to see a movement arise among google employees of concern about. their company's current edition and the world structure towards 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 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 out once again that the technology in question is none offensive and is intended to save lives and save people from having to do tedious work we've got plenty more stories coming up after this short break do stay with us. but i don't want to tell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to buy the battle is going. to suck for the tell you that

every gossip and tabloid. advertising telling you pull and buy products. that we along with. what. makes manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is some project themselves. the final merry go round. be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

welcome back people in a paris district say their life is being ruined by gangs of young migrants they claim drugs theft and fights on the streets make it dangerous to live there so deep in this case spoke to some of the residents. 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 that's popular. within minutes were offered advice from an officer.

policing the eighteenth district of paris to do 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 this should be a traditional response to that a strong response from the government and there is none we are living in a country where in certain places delinquency and violence are rampant with no punishment. a former top aide of toppled libyan leader muammar gadhafi fears arrest if he comes back to the country after missouri he's in exile in tunis here is a key witness in a corruption case against france's former president nicolas sarkozy besides being gadhafi his chief interpreter missouri was also 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 who murdered daffy 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 ok as he is under formal investigation for illegally receiving millions of euros from gadhafi for his successful two thousand and seven presidential campaign he vehemently denies the allegations and after missouri explained how the financing came about. well senator if in the humps 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 but 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 the sum was fifty million euro zone's the document was sent to the libyan foreign ministry and then to the libyan leader's office and gadhafi saw it and he ordered for the sum to be reduced to twenty million euros. israeli authorities 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 billboards in tel aviv airport would you to go up during the passover holiday saying ladies please take your seat to 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 past. month is passive aggressive because of the here in israel and

a lot of people are traveling to. a poster which is basically a public service announcement letting women know of the passengers and we were denied by the airport authority we wanted to pay for it. they just said the thing was that after is. when we turned to the media when the media asked them they said that it was now inflammatory but it was a controversial campaign or that they didn't want to be in the airport in recent years there have been a number of disputes between female passengers and ultra orthodox men some have even led to flight delays and cancellations one case in particular hit headlines last year when a court ruled in favor of an eighty three year old holocaust survivor who felt humiliated after she was asked to change her seat where they were been aware 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 their situation. there's a growing train the caribbean men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes because of the demands of the female passenger the move or on the seat down instead of telling the men to sit down the woman is dealt with severe pressure by fellow passengers and the flight attendant until she gives up in the storm per seat and it was the first i want to make sure that we don't generalize it's not. this way but some do we 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 compassed need. a frozen expanses of the world's biggest freshwater lake is the venue for an international i see all trace over one hundred sportsmen from fourteen
