it's a tough reality. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down whose business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. russia demands are answers over the script power poisoning after calling an emergency un security council meeting which moscow slammed britain's blame game as a theater of the observed. we have told our british colleagues that they are playing with fire and they may end up in a bad way. israel deploys tanks and snipers against thousands of anti

occupation protesters on the gaza border we're showing you live pictures from the border right now where takeout has been fired at the palestinians who have been tireless. don't be evil with thousands of google employees reminds their bosses of the company's motto and a call to end cooperation with the pentagon. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me on our top story this hour russia says the u.k. is playing with fire when accusing moscow of poisoning former double agent so a script powell and his daughter at an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council on thursday russia's envoy pointed to major in consistencies and

their claims made by britain the u.k. once again reiterated its side gate and that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for the attack. enough of glows a little simple so gloomy 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 it 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 and 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 mr president never step through a waste of this joint investigation i think the message for those who i find most apt is that have been lost in this ten five 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 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 immediately given an antidote to do. according to experts a sample of the exact same not just a similar substance had to be somewhere nearby but the focus of that 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 a parent says the atmosphere between the russian a new k. and voice was not and tiley hostile both found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session but they did cross literary swords and in exchange quoting lewis carroll's alice in wonderland this paper has just been picked up what's in it so the queen 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 being us another of the judean nor their knots of the word the baby please your majesty said the maid i didn't but i did and they come provided there is no name signed of them 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 the verdict the king served football

the twenty stone that day nor more so the sentence first verdict afterwards. does that remind you of anything as a. very good quote alice in wonderland that is sometimes i believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quote it suits my russian colleague best well political analyst down glazebrook believes that the u.k. is the 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 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 nova charts published

a book with this formula in two thousand and eight saying that it has to 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 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 and we want british authorities say that this group our pet have died the u.k. government released the information after a request from the russian embassy about the condition of the animals we can now go to our correspondent directorate in london to find out more on it dear or is there any particular reason why russia requested the information on the animals in the first place. yeah there are a number of reasons nikki and it is another revelation to this case isn't it they

requested the information for three main reasons the property rights of mr scriptural the welfare of the animals and most importantly in the context of this ongoing in investigation what is interesting is the embassy obviously had no idea that the script was even owned pets so they found out via a mistress cripples niece that cousin and she revealed that they had two cats and two guinea pigs so there was no information following the attack or the investigation about the whereabouts of these animals or indeed the condition that they were in here's a little explanation as to why the embassy did request that information to learn the fate of the animals is important not only from the point of view of mr scroope past property rights but also as a matter of animal welfare and most importantly in the context of the ongoing investigation to better understand what happened to sergei and yuliya scruple it is

essential to know if the animals also suffered from chemical poisoning. after that request there was a response from the u.k. government a spokesperson from the department of environment food and rural affairs said the property in wilshire was sealed as part of the police investigation they want to say that once the property was accessible and a vet was able to go to that property that they had discovered to get the pigs had died and they also said that they discovered a cat that was in a distressed condition and because of that condition they decided to euthanasia the cat so a couple of media outlets actually have also responded to these new revelations the sun and the mirror included in those media outlets they've said that the pets have been incinerated well what that means is there's no evidence left from those animals so any further investigation any biological testing is now obsolete so i

suppose the question remains that the russian request for information and whether that information that they discovered had they tested or been able to test on those animals and would it have been useful in the on going investigation will always be answered they do it live from london thank you for those details. but meanwhile the u.k. media is telling you and post sensational headlines based on an anonymous source one major newspaper claims the nerve agent was produced near moscow while another insists there's a weapons lab in southern russia jacqueline very good picks up that story. 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 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 so says not one hundred percent certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the yasin of the lab 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 well there was 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 of palestinian protesters have gathered at the gaza border setting tires on fire these are live pictures we're showing you behind me right now from the area twenty people have died in a week of anti occupation protests israel has deployed tanks and snipers there. as you see were coming closer to the fence and i think now we're only one hundred meters away and as you see there are protesters a very very close we can see of burning tires and something i have to add that we

can hear and see the israeli drone but it's throwing tear gas canisters on the protesters more than twenty palestinians have been killed during the week it was a very very tough week of to the palestinians. was when 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 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 some of the palestinian protesters plan to use mirrors to try and obstruct the line of vision of the snipers 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 pulled in reinforcements so we're bracing for more violence the situation here on the border extremely tense. thousands of staff a google are calling on the web giant to cancel its cooperation with the pentagon also official intelligence project and a letter to that chief executive the employees pointed out that involvement in the business of war could harm the company's reputation who is most hoa's to be evil. we believe that google should not be in the business of war therefore we ask that project may even be cancelled 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 tracked objects in images provided by u.s. government drones and sent the results to the pentagon and while google's bosses describe the project as normal offensive in nature the firm's involvement with the pentagon has still led to divisions inside the company the military link was first reported last month and the employees lesser 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 google's former boss eric schmidt has been the head of pentagon's defense innovation advisory board since twenty sixteen and while defense expert marc says it's admirable that google's employees are defending the company's core ideal he adds

that 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 contribution in the world structure towards a trial on this 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 efforts 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. told me that conversations a bounce in new technologies with employees are hugely important and beneficial and

pointed out again that the technology in question is non-offensive and is intended to save lives and save people from having to do tedious what. former top aide to a mama gadhafi fears he might be arrested if he returns to libya i'll tell you why off the bike. you mean you don't. seem to. get

a court. what are you more. space to. make. bill. clinton no servant to the state that. you speak french. the same year the. new president is still good busy to discuss. welcome back people in a paris district say their life is being ruined by gangs of young mike works they claim drugs theft and find some of the streets make it dangerous to live there solitude penske has been speaking to some of the residents. as you exit the metro

in much of paris is. the first thing in 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. the 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 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. you know it's like. it's. like you know he would be. here yeah yeah. 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 .

but the smoke of the she. got to. the city was white to deal with the problem with the seven. year itch 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. so what do you not see us. for an opposition politician make helter verne told us the police in paris the overstretched and the government should do more. to determine what is policing 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 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 says he fears arrest if he returns to the country move to missouri who is in exile in tunisia is a key witness in a corruption case against france's former president nicolas sarkozy besides being give daffy's chief interpreter service story was also a trusted advisor 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 sarkozy 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 most on missouri explained how the find that thing came about. by

senator levin 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 zone's the document was sent to the libyan foreign ministry and then to the libyan leader's office and the gadhafi sought and he ordered for the sum to be reduced to twenty million euros.

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 while 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 says she felt humility humiliated after being asked to change her feet were tired lawyer when a agree to move it successfully sued as fast national airline for discrimination but it's well i just action center has released a video explaining women's rights and the situations there's a growing trend already men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes because of the demands of the female passenger in the movie or on the sea board sit down instead of telling the men to sit down the woman is dealt with severe pressure

by passengers and the flight attendant until she gives up and from the. first i want to make sure that we don't generalize it's not. this way but some do think that's boring the airline should be very very clear saying if you have now you're sitting with the four. before boarding then you have to either take your seat or get off the plane and you're not going to be. thank you for choosing auti international fold the latest headlines my call a column for a will be with you the top of the hour. also was to question whether it was very reasonable to react with sanctions under braking 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

from china let's talk about what's happening there with lani chin lonnie 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 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. 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 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. 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 fortune.
