this i was global headlines russia demands answers over the script poisoning after calling an emergency u.n. security council meeting which moscow slammed britain's blame game is a theater of the absurd. we have told our british colleagues that they are playing with fire and they may end up in a bad way. like pictures from israel which has deployed tanks and snipers against thousands of anti occupation protesters on the goals of tear gas has been fired at the palestinians were burning ties we'll update you this hour. don't be evil thousands of google employees remind their bosses of the company's motto and a call to end cooperation with the pentagon.
7:01 am
that friday afternoon at two here in moscow money it's called a bribe welcome to the world news from the international first for you this hour russia says the u.k. is playing with fire when accusing moscow of poisoning form a double agent so i guess cripple and his daughter had an emergency meeting of the un security council on thursday russia's envoy pointed to major inconsistences in the claims being made by britain the u.k. once again reiterated its allegation that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for the attack unless of glows 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 how could you come up with
7:02 am
a more believable hoax although we know the value of british intelligence thanks to tony blair 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 mr president there are several ways to
7:03 am
view this joint investigation i think the message of this i find it is that have been lost in this ten five but in this particular instance the awesomeness 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. and you would be in a normal state for the next few hours given the fact that sergeant nick bailey who
7:04 am
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 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. despite appearances the atmosphere between the russian and u.k. envoys was not entirely hostile both found time for a friendly chat during a break in the session but they did cross literary swords same one 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 opened it yet so the word that i would but it seems to be a letter written by the prison the dude to somebody are they the prison scandal writing us in other of the judum nor their knots of the word the baby please your
7:05 am
majesty is of the may for i didn't write it and they come provided there is no name signed at them 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 normal serve the sentence first verdict afterwards moment that remind you of anything as a. very good quote alice in wonderland this is sometimes i believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quote seats my russian colleague best. political analyst done glazebrook 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.
7:06 am
have never put forward any reasons as to why they doubt the o.p.c. verification here that is a very important piece of information that's never this never picked up on and secondly the childer that the russian chemist who revealed the existence of not a child's 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 the 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 i mean while it's a merge that mr screwballs pet dies how after being stranded in his sealed off home the british government released the information after a russian embassy request about the animals condition let's go live to london now
7:07 am
artie's new deal refute is there hi there why did russia request details about the pads in the first place. this is another surprise revelation relating to the scripps howard scandal and the reason why russia requested the information on its for three main reasons really firstly the property rights of mr scruple secondly the welfare of the animals and thirdly and most importantly in the context of the ongoing investigation now if you're wondering how they found out about the script as owning pets they actually found out from the niece of mr that's the cousin of yulia she revealed that they own two cats and two guinea pigs but following the attack there was no information about the whereabouts or indeed the wellbeing of those animals here's what the embassy set. to learn the fate of the animals is important not only from the point of view of mr scruby past property rights but
7:08 am
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. well the u.k. did respond to that request a u.k. government spokesperson from the department of environment food and rural affairs said that the property in wiltshire was sealed off as part of the police investigation following that when they had access to the property they said that a vet sadly found two guinea pigs dead and they also found a cat in a distressed situation position so they made the decision to euthanize the cat because of the what they didn't say or didn't state what that distressed condition was what we have now in the u.k. is a couple of media outlets have actually reported that those animals were incinerated shortly after they were found that means that it's impossible for any biological
7:09 am
testing to be done so those unanswered questions that russia requested so they will never know whether or not testing those animals may or may not have been useful in the investigation that's now going to remain a mystery. ok all right for now no to richard in london thanks very much for. meanwhile the u.k. media is continuing to push sensational headlines based on anonymous sources while major newspaper claims the nerve agent was produced near moscow another insists that a weapons lab in southern russia. picks up the story the script woking 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
7:10 am
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 it 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 never chuck the sun has exclusively uncovered a moscow suburb lab that the o.p.c. w. couldn't it was not a problem in your dreams with. 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
7:11 am
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. buy the show you what's happening on the gaza border now you can receive very much at the moment it's a rather so smoky atmosphere with thousands of palestinian protesters have gathered at the girl's a border setting tires on fire twenty people have died in a week of anti occupation protests israel's now deployed tanks and snipers to the area tear gas has also been fired the injured being stretchered to waiting ambulances a middle east correspondent paula slayer and local journalist a hindu diary about the border force. 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 eye we can see the burning tires and something i have to add that
7:12 am
we can hear and see the israeli drone that'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 this comes from burning tires and during the course of the day
7:13 am
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 abstract 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 stafford google are calling on the web trying to counsel its cooperation with the pentagon artificial intelligence project and a letter to the chief executive the employees pointed out that involvement in the business of war could harm the company's reputation if matter of course is don't be evil. we believe that google should not be in the business of war therefore we ask that may even be counselled building this technology to assist the u.s.
7:14 am
government in military surveillance and potentially lethal outcomes is not acceptable project mavens described by google employees as a customized artificial intelligence engine said to detect and track objects in images provided by u.s. government drones and send the results to the pentagon i'm all google's bosses describe the project as non-offensive in nature the firm's involvement with the pentagon and 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 despite competitors like amazon and microsoft already being involved with defense contracts google former boss eric schmidt has been head of the pentagon's defense innovation advisory board since twenty sixteen and while defense expert marc brute says that 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. let's go live now to emeritus professor
7:15 am
of artificial intelligence a british sheffield university no sharky professor sharkey welcome to r.t. oh the google workers fear is justified here surely anybody leading in the field in this kind of business is going to have some clients in government. yes i think their fears are correct i'm very concerned about it myself and we have written to google and had a response from them the same as you read the by the idea that this is for non-offensive work for finding objects but the program the modern program is all about. bringing ai to the immediate conflicts on so this could be used for instance for targeting for autonomy as weapons and google may be a little naive here a bit the use is because once you start working with the military you have no control over what the user product for and that's very worrying but most of the tech that we have in our pockets and in our home is probably came about military
7:16 am
projects in the first place today. yes that's correct for instance g.p.s. was a totally military project but that's it's a different matter of bringing civil civil tech not sorry bringing military technology into the civil world then actually helping the military to develop military technology and google is a global company and this working for the pentagon and the pentagon is united states for me in britain that means it's a foreign power and is this how far will they slide into bed with the pentagon google almost of the of all our director and i don't want the pentagon having my data this technology is described as non-offensive it tracks images in photographs that doesn't sound particularly offensive technology presumably it's it's not the application it's how it's then used. it's high it's used exactly and that's why i think they're being a little bit naive for instance i work for
7:17 am
a campaign to stop killer robots of the united nation and that's a bit autonomy's weapons that can go it find their own targets and kill them with a human intervention and we're trying to get a prohibition on the targeting selection of targets and the. violent force this could be used by the pentagon for the selection of targets so at the moment you have drawn operators who you know there's problems with drums obviously human rights problems but you've at least have got the human operator sitting there looking at the target in gauging with the target and trying to calculate its legitimacy if google's imagery is very good they will stop using that operator ally robots to go out on their own find their own targets and kill them with a human intervention and this is a disaster for humanity it's going to be one contract too far for google's brand do you see any brand damage being done here because we've had google earth the go google street view we know that google can see it with its very clever apps and its
7:18 am
online tracking devices do you think that having had their long time chairman he's no longer chairman but he's also on the pentagon's innovation board do you think there could be damage to google's brand here. i think the really is damage to google's brand and i don't know far it will go but with over three thousand workers protesting and many people in the international community putting pressure on them i really hope they will change their mind because it goes against the idea i mean do they still do no evil when you work for the military in one particular country that is part yes through a u.s. company and yes the united states needs to have defense but nonetheless of your global company and your brand is global then you must not do this kind of work if you want to succeed in the in the world professor no shock i appreciate your insight into this thanks for joining us on r.t. . thank you a former top aide to top of libyan leader moammar gadhafi fizzy may be
7:19 am
arrested if he returns to libya to talk more about that after the break. plenty. of. little. local wal-mart selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police. force need to fight the battles they don't lead to stop spreading to tell you that the

7:21 am

7:23 am
of support it seems they prefer to live on the streets surviving on the mystery that's so what do you not see our us french opposition politician told us that the police in paris are overstretched and that the government should be doing more. to determine what is probably 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're doing their best but they should be judicial response to that a strong response from the government and there is none we're living in a country where in certain places delinquency and violence are rampant with no punishment. the former top aide to topple libyan leader moammar gadhafi says he fears arrest if he returns to the country after missouri who's in exile in tunisia is a key witness in a corruption case against france's former president nicolas sarkozy besides being

7:28 am
greetings and salutation. nothing like a nice cool drink of water especially when it's extracted by a multibillion dollar corporate conglomerate for practically nothing at the expense of the surrounding community we begin today at the white pine springs well located near the city of art of the great midwestern state of michigan where international corporate food giant nestle has been a virtually applying for a permit to increase the amount of fresh water it can suck out of michigan's groundwater table and then attend to the upgrade would be fifteen hundred liters or two hundred fifty gallons per minute right now and it would upgrade to nine hundred forty six liters or four hundred gallons a minute that's roughly five hundred seventy six thousand gallons of water a day all for nestle's ice mountain water brenda because when one thinks of mountains and ice you naturally envision central michigan i do all the time and
7:29 am
that's lee is getting its wishes because on monday of this week the michigan department of environmental quality or d.e.q. approved nestle's permit despite of the detroit free press reports vehement opposition to the permit for residents in osceola county where the nestle well is located the d.e.q. said the permit met the requirements of the michigan the safe drinking water act just how vehement you ask well how about eighty thousand public comments against nestle's plans to just seventy five comments for yes i said the house and people had against nestle's moves there that's roughly the size of most large us suburban cities. you know it appears once again corporate power rangers over the will of the people and the safety of the environment let's start watching the hawks . to wonder what it. looks like the
