i've never played what happens next. to predictable. israel deploys tanks and snipers to the gaza border but at least forty palestinian protesters have been injured in a massive protest. a former russian spy. no longer in critical condition following last month's poisoning in salzburg as the media continues to speculate whether a nerve agent may have been pretty. visits paris district where the soaring crime rate is being blamed on gangs of migrant you. welcome to the news from the international first keeping watch on what's been

happening at the gaza border these are live pictures from part of the world where at least forty palestinians have been wounded during a demonstration this friday against israeli occupation in gaza according to local medics that five people a seriously injured after a live ammunition was fired by israeli soldiers.

but weeklong protests have become the deadliest in years after israeli soldiers responded with live ammunition and tear gas against thousands of palestinian protesters. other big story this hour we learned in the past thirty minutes or so that poison double agents again script is no longer in a critical condition salisbury hospital released an update on his health within the past half hour or so let's get more details now from artie's de rich i hope we can talk to her now anyway can we speak to madeira. are you all good to see you ok we're going to cause we have any learned about this in the past twenty minutes half an hour or so what else did the doctors have to say about recovery. yeah i mean we don't know as you said we've only just got this information and not a lot of details have been released but we do know in that statement from dr christina blanche that's the medical director at soulsby district hospital said

that sir three powell is responding well to treatment improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition however those were all the details that have been provided on this so far also we know that cripples daughter ular is recovering so much show so that she gave a statement to the met police saying that she is growing stronger day by day this is a story that has absolutely dominated the international community it's gone on for ages they've been in hospital for over a month now recovering and it all started when they were allegedly poisoned on the fourth of march following a dinner that they had there they basically were found there on a bench now that was the catalyst to a huge diplomatic spat between initially the u.k. and russia and consequently european partners of britain and we've seen so many things happen evidence an investigation we just had the news about the pets

discovering that the script was that pets to them being killed when they were found after the investigation happened so so much is going on and the situation as it stands now is that no definitive evidence was provided by porton down once that investigation had been complete even though the finger pointing at russia has been going on you know from the foreign minister from the british prime minister. and and that is the situation as it stands now so may be now that he's recovering and he's recovering well and eventually he will be able to talk hopefully that the investigation will be questioned little more and we'll get more details. ok it's certainly good news that he's on the road to recovery because it's twenty four hours after we had the first statement from you get scripts i was also recovering out for now though they were today in london thanks very much for that meanwhile russia's foreign minister has called increased speculation unfounded as the media

claims the nerve agent used to poison the screwballs was produced in a weapons lab in russia. which. as far as reports about novacek nerve agent production in the seraphs region are concerns london is from sickly looking for confirmation of its unsubstantiated position. well major you can't use paper around the sensational headline based on anonymous source is alleging that had been made on the outskirts of moscow jacqueline bouvier picks up the story the screwball case on explosive twist earlier this week when experts at porton down revealed they couldn't determine where the nerve agent was made by 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 sun isn't certain but those of near moscow souce is not one hundred percent certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say about the yeltsin of a 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. prove i mean 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 the. late the secretly developed in the soviet union however it's formula was later revealed it can cause permanent harm and even death and it's considered one of the most deadly nerve agents where we could talk live now to professor alister hey toxicologist at the university of leeds really appreciate you coming on the program sold to us is it possible to determine where a nerve agent was produced. well unless you have a sample from that particular to compare with it's really very difficult and if you're dealing with a very pure product there are unlikely to be many other ingredients in the mix that enable you to get some kind of fingerprint on the particular process and where it may have been made so it is very difficult the u.k.

is making out making its case that has other evidence intelligence evidence that's in a building it to point the finger at russia rather than just laboratory evidence what are the actual footprint things you need to look for them because a couple of newspapers seem to think they've got it down to two locations. and i would be interested to read those i haven't seen there's been so much speculation around this story and that's really very unhelpful at times. if you have some of the precursor chemicals that are used to make the nerve agent present in a mixture along with some solvent might have been. that you dissolve the precursors in to ensure an efficient reaction maybe even someone wanted reaction by products together with the finished product then you can get a clue as to the method of manufacture and that would help you narrow down the number of possible options of where it might have been made or who might have made

it if you had known that those were the recipes that were followed by those particular gora trees or sites that it is still a guessing game. we now know that. no longer in a critical condition we learn that about half an hour or so ago which is great news and also that his daughter is on the road to recovery to the prognosis for both of them was considerably more grim a month ago this is a particularly nasty toxic chemical here does it surprise you could there still be long term effects. but there could be long term effects it very much depends on whether there was any damage to the brains of the script holes i'm delighted to script. appears to be out of the critical condition now and his daughter is also talking to people and issued a statement yesterday this was referred to earlier people do recover from nerve agents the recovery can be prolonged it may not be uncomplicated it depends on what

damage may have been sustained early on the best outcome for people is very prompt treatment i think and would prompt treatment without it i don't know what the scruples had in this instance but i think the fact that they have survived is testimony to the really outstanding care that they've had in hospital. is it possible for some like criminal gangs to make something like a nerve agent with basic equipment or is it. a minister thinks this kind of agent can only be made by a state. i think the fact that it's referred to as a military grade material rules out any sort of kitchen sink approach to making this by military grade my reading of that is that this is a pretty pure product that means that reaction process. and everything else that you need to make an efficient reaction have been refined over

a period of time and of course this takes as i said time but it also takes resourcing so it looks like a procedure that was honed and improved and this probably suggests you know you need some money to do that you also need to ensure good protection for whoever is making it any scape of material from reaction vessels and so on would be lethal to operators so you need to have a very skilled workforce to be doing this as well so this is another factor i think . that is enabling the u.k. to narrow its options maybe we'll know more about a week or so when the o.p.c. w. the chemical weapons watchdog supposed to release their findings but then only if britain allows them to do so publicly for now there really appreciate your expertise on this toxicologist professor alistair hay from leeds university thanks very much. russia says the u.k. playing with fire when accusing moscow of being behind the soulsby poisoning attack and 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. again reiterated it allegation that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for the attack that it crossed literary swords though in one exchange quoting lewis carroll's alice in wonderland this paper has just been picked up what's in it so the groom i haven't opened it yet so the word that i would put it seems to be a matter written by the prison the dude to somebody are they the prison scandal of being us in other of the judum nor their nots of the world the baby blues your marriage is to serve them a few i didn't write it and they come provided there is no name signed that the if you didn't sign it says the king that only makes the most the words you must have meant some mischief let the jury consider devoted twenty stone that the normal course of the sentence first verdict afterwards woman that remind you of anything as

a. very good quote alice in wonderland this is sometimes i've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast so i think that's the quote seats my russian colleague best. out of stuff a google are calling on the web giant to cancel its cooperation with the pentagon artificial intelligence project in a letter to their chief executive the employees pointed out involvement in the business of war could harm the company's reputation and its 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 or tech mavens being described as a customized artificial intelligence engine the technology still being developed could be used to process and analyze drone footage and more google's bosses describe the project as non-offensive in nature the firm's involvement with the

pentagon has been defined save. aside saying it damages google brand employees have also expressed concern over the company's ability to compete for talent that's despite competitors like amazon and microsoft already with defense contracts google's former boss eric schmidt's has been head of the pentagon's defense innovation advisory board since twenty sixteen we heard from an artificial intelligence experts who told us google is unlikely to have control over what the military has planned for its technology. google is a global company and this working for the pentagon and the pentagon is united states from 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 and google may be a little naive here but the use is because once you start working with the military you have no control over what they use your product for and that's very worrying when you work for the military in one particular country that this part is

a yes or a us 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 the u.s. has revealed its latest sanctions hit list against russian citizens and companies will have the details of that and more of our world headlines when we come back. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the tell with you and you will solo a great game the grid if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need

you to get let's go. a low as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just take the radio beyond the team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back we have an update on our top story being killed in friday's protests and forty others are reported injured on the gaza border israeli forces have been

farming live ammunition of the protesters that thousands of palestinians have been gathering against the israeli occupation in the region this is what's happening there right now we've been watching these scenes for the past few hours they've been coming increasingly agitated slightly calm in the past hour or so but as you can see smoke being deployed suspected to one of the protesters trying to block the view of israeli snipers across that fence which you can see they've been deploying tanks and snipers to that area they've also been firing tear gas and into people have been seen structured to waiting ambulances so as we know how for minister. in the coming hours we are no one hundred meters away from the fence that separates gaza strip and israel palestinian youth have been very tired since the morning near the fence to blur the vision of the snipers is right it's like best to shoot or target any palestinians the israelis have been using waste water to disperse the protesters according to the palestinian ministry of housing forty in juries have

been injured so far including fs five very severe conditions palestinians are still coming there are still marching and thousands of hundreds of palestinians have been here since the morning and we saw palestinian protesters burning view as flags and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the american sense the morning tension is running high right now and palestinians are still in the field in still near the fence 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 smoke. this comes from burning tires injured in 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 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 built in reinforcements so we're bracing for more violence the situation here on the border extremely tense. u.s. impose new sanctions on russia targeting twenty four officials and business people as well as fourteen entities let's get the lowdown now from correspondent trying to reach across the details of this either right took us through it then these latest sanctions from washington calling hello well it is the names that are new the reasons are actually old on the u.s. treasury website it says that the reason is quote unquote a range of russian malign activities around the globe and then comes the list first of all it's crimea then ukraine russia supporting the assad regime in syria and finally subverting western democracies and malicious cyber activities you

mentioned the numbers but i'll be a bit more precise. seven businessmen which are referred to as. some of the richest russian people on the list then seventeen senior government officials and also fourteen and to these which include twelve companies one state owned weapons trading company and also a bank the movers and shakers of the russian and energy sector will have to watch out for that list first of all with the likes of alexei miller who is the head of russia's energy giant gazprom featuring their washington says quote unquote that these people. are benefiting from the putin regime and play a key role in russia's malign activities as they put it all assets that are under american jurisdiction designated that are that belong to the designated individuals

and entities will be frozen and obviously no u.s. citizens will no longer be able to deal with these russians we already got reaction from russia one senator constantine costa child who was also targeted by these measures cold unfriendly and hostile and obviously will be waiting for more reaction perhaps from some of the more senior russian officials to it ok when we have an immobile we brought back with you really if another thanks very much for that. it's in a paris district say their lives are being ruined by gangs of young migrants they claim drugs and fights on the streets and making it dangerous to live show the dubin ski's been speaking 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 their migrants 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 problematic within minutes were offered advice from an officer of the family. who see police stopping the men and searching their banks. locals say that being 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 it's no. light fights it's the. roof like the.

it's like. you know it's. like. it's. like you know that would be it. yeah yeah yeah. he's. been under. this is part of the gang he was with her 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 but the smaller the decision. to. the city like to deal with the problem with the seven. year itch the news sent it flying off the streets but it seems almost no interest in sports it seems they prefer to

live on the streets surviving on the misery it's sort of. our us french opposition politician michael tarver told us that the police in paris are overstretched and that the government should be doing all. it would he said you determine what is called barry police in the eighteenth district of paris to 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 it's a strong response from the government and there is none we are living in a country or in certain places delinquency in violence are rampant with no punishment. really authorities have blocked advertisement urging female passengers not to change their seats on an aircraft if asked to by ultra-orthodox jewish men the men refused to sit next to women because of their strict religious beliefs the billboards in tel aviv airport were due to go up during the passover

holiday saying ladies please take your seat and keep it we spoke to the director of the israeli religious action center which is behind the campaign. and what we wanted to do this massive. this month is passive aggressive because here in israel and a lot of people are traveling to. a person which is basically a public service announcement letting women know of their greatest passenger and we were denied by the airport authority who wanted to pay for it. we 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 and they didn't want it to be in the airports 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 on particular case had the headlines last

year a cold ruled in favor of an eighty three year old holocaust survivor who says she felt humiliated after being asked to change her seat retired lawyer ronnie rabinowitz agreed to move but successfully sued israel's national and line for discrimination the israel religious action centers released a video explaining women's rights in these situations. there's a growing trend the courageous men who simply refused to sit next to women on planes because of the demands that the female passenger will move or else seebohm six don't 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 and moves from her seat and i was first i want to make sure that we don't generalize this not all of. this way but some do we think that's a billing thing that the airlines should be very very clear saying if you have not arranged your seating with this we're. forwarding then you have to either take your seat or get off the plane and you're not going to be compensated that's had from

a fanatic to my ball and go on you for those twenty four seven i'll be back hey i was just up a half an hour with the next world news from the internet. then what by recommending what i want to watch. or you will pull you out of. bed in the mountains and what about and i didn't do it will always be the good news it also. helps. on a parking. ticket or down or down my view people

come up to you through. going about the law and they have a map of the game and the money because i'm. not bad with them but if i say i give them that i generally like about it but i have beings has it and it is about. perf. this is kentucky. you're going to agree.

with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the. people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. a low in welcome across taught for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle

after weeks of media hysterics an official claims without a shred of evidence the case that russia was behind the sols very poisoning incident is falling apart transparency and the rule of law have never played a role it has always been about politics and agenda what happens next sadly is only too predictable. cross talking toxic politics i'm joined by my guest marcus papadopoulos in london is the editor of.
