among some of our you know about. israel deploys tanks and snipers to the gaza border where it is thought at least nine palestinians have been killed in an anti occupation protest. u.k. doctors say russian former spy surrogates chris powell is no longer in critical condition after a long spawn's poisoning in salzburg as the british media continues to speculate where the nerve agent was produced. and former u.s. intelligence officers backed wiki leaks founder julian a song issue has been forced off line by the ecuadorian embassy in london over comments about customer mia. dorian government give julian assange just the durian citizenship but the dorian diplomatic passport and you know is that how you treat

your own citizens in your own diplomats i think this is going a little overboard response. there is r.t. international coming to life from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. at least nine palestinians who reportedly been killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border according to the palestinian health ministry one of those killed was a journalist while six more reporters are among the thousand protesters that have been injured artie's correspondents have been reporting from both sides of the gaza border. we're now maybe one hundred meters only far away from the fence you can see the crowd you

can see the protesters flooded and a hundred of thousands phylis immunes have been here since the morning. tensions are running high right now as the israeli army started to shoot trend. more palestinians are getting injured why the ambulances are already here to british take on the injuries that we're now injured from days already i mean that by live. and i mean nation and it tear gas canisters. this is one of the injuries that was injured just right now our friend up. for booklets and at the tear gas and there it's grass ambulance and on the medics are trying to say father and juries.

the to seniors are very close to the fence and know i getting out way back because the but israeli army arabs are shooting everyone who's getting near to the funds. this guy is squarely of the tires the palestinian youths have been saying since the morning and at the same time the israeli army have been throwing tear gas canisters and targeting the palestinians here the funds. as you see the palestinian protesters are running away from the tear gas canisters that were thrown just right now and the protesters and. so. these are unexploded to gas canisters that are being targeted and suited on the palestinian protesters car her 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 and still near the fence i'm standing here on the israeli side of the israel gaza border with these plumes of smoke or slowly making their way from gaza into israel now there's a lot of tear gas that's being fired into gaza we can hear the sound of tear gas canisters from here we can also hear the sign sounds of bullets of course israelis are being accused by the international community of using live fire on unarmed protesters but the israelis for bayside say that among these protesters are hundreds of militants who are aiming at them with molotov cocktails and the like i'm standing in a closed military zone the israelis have gotten reinforcements there are tanks on the border we're not allowed to go closer to the border then where i'm actually

standing the israeli snipers are also aware that the palestinians are using pieces of mirrors to try and block the vision and make it more difficult for them and we've also been told that should the situation on the other side of the border get to the israelis plan on using sewage water to deal with the people there so the situation here on the border extremely tense and unfortunately the number of casualties expected to climb if not in the coming hours in the coming days. crowds of flocked to the gaza border throughout friday in what's been called the great march of return these on drawing pictures captured by artie's video agency ruptly palestinians are demanding access to ancestral lands which are now in israeli territory tents have been pitched in the area and in the distance you can see thick black smoke from the building two lives that have been placed along the heavily fortified form to ear. well the israeli defense forces say the protestors posed

a serious danger a spokesperson for the idea of posted on twitter saying rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack yet the u.n. says the use of live ammunition by the israeli forces was unnecessary and could amount to a breach of the geneva convention an attempt to approach across the green life in spite south certainly does not amount to a threat to life or serious injury that would justify the use of live ammunition the killings and the injuries do actually point to an excessive use of force and in particular lethal force and that's a situation where there was no threat of death or or serious injury the unjustified unlawful recourse to firearms by law enforcement resulting in death may amount to a willful killing a grave breach of the fourth geneva convention the process of becoming the deadliest in years and the militant group hamas has said they will continue for six weeks. the lobby of the.

u.k. has denied victoria scrip al the niece of poison former double agent surrogate scrope out of visa the u.k. home office has issued a statement saying her application failed to comply with immigration rules but victoria believes britain has something to hide and said she was expecting the refusal well earlier on friday served a script regained consciousness and is no longer in critical condition artie's near a cheater as the details we don't know that much but we have got a statement from the district hospital released by dr christina blanch about the medical director and she said that so. script is responding well to treatment

improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition and those are the details we have we also know that scribbles daughter unit is recovering so much so that she gave a statement to the met police saying that she is growing stronger day by day now if we go back to the beginning these two were poisoned by a nerve agent called novacek on the fourth of march now this incident has caused mayhem across the globe and you could almost say that it was the catalyst for already increased tensions between russia and britain in particular. there have been consequences to this event before the investigation started and immediately after the attack the finger was pointed at russia as the perpetrator almost implying that both so gay and nuclear were not going to make it through this ordeal russia has denied any involvement and has stuck to that and even asked for a joint investigation which was denied and refused by the british authorities now

that diplomatic mattick route did spiral britain expelled twenty three russian diplomats russia retaliated to that expelling the same number and spread to the european partners and the u.s. as well and they also expelled a number of diplomats from those countries. now the results came out after an investigation at porton down lab and the results were that there was no definitive evidence as to where that nerve agent came from so you can see what was happening there the situation as it is now the two are recovering so possibly they will be speaking at some point and they might be able to give more clarity as to what happened on that day. when we were russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has hit back at the latest round of media speculation about where the nerve agent used against this trip ours was produced. as far as reports about the children of

asian production in the seraphs regional concerns london is from sickly looking for confirmation of its unsubstantiated position. meanwhile one major british newspaper ran a headline based on anonymous sources saying they had pinpointed the production of knowledge check to the outskirts of moscow and into 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 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 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 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. they probably mean you know. it's you it's 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 battle 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 in next day back to what sells best. a long voice from russia and the u.k. crossed swords save the script scandal at a un security council meeting on saturday and in one bizarre exchange they resorted to quoting from lewis carroll's alice in wonderland this paper has just been picked up what's in it so that. i haven't gotten that yet so there weren't that a bit but it seems to be a letter written by the reason the dude who somebody put is the scum that i think i was in other of the jordan. nor there knots of the word the baby blues your marriage is to serve the me i didn't but i did and they can prove i did there is no name signed to do. if you didn't sign it says the king that only makes the most the words you must of man some use to let the jury consider devoted to the king so what about the twenty stone that the normal. sampson's first verdict

afterwards. 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 that seats my russian colleagues best 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. 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 knowledge of us 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 ole what's country's got to form and a 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. former intelligence officers have launched a petition in support of julian assange they want the ecuadorian embassy where he's been staying since twenty twelve to restore his internet connection a petition letter was handed over by a former cia officer turned whistleblower. this is from the cia the f.b.i. military. want to make a letter to the government that would. give them well a soldier's online access was cut after he wrote a series of tweets about the separatist movement in catalonia ecuador accused him

of putting diplomatic relations at risk john kiriakou the former officer who handed him the letter told us ecuador needs to stand up for the person they're protecting when i deliver the letter i thought that maybe we had a chance and perhaps we still do have a chance the ecuadorian government gave julian a son not just ecuadorian citizenship but an ecuadorian diplomatic passport and you know is that how you treat your own citizens in your own diplomats now if they had a problem with something that julian tweeted apparently they do have such a problem then they should punish him i suppose in a way commensurate with what it was that he did he issued one tweet i think this is going a little overboard in response. songs and wiki leaks have been behind the release of thousands of confidential documents for over a decade that's despite the whistleblower being unable to leave the embassy in central london as he would face charges in the u.k.

and possible extradition to the u.s. john kiriakou says ecuador is refusing to buckle under pressure from other countries. you know this isn't a one sided thing i'm sure that the ecuadorian government is under great pressure from the united states from the united kingdom perhaps from sweden maybe even australia which is where julian is originally from so certainly there are two sides to this i am sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes that we just don't know we understand the background to this case we also understand how important transparency is and freedom of speech and freedom of the press we wanted the ecuadorian government to know that. the u.s. has imposed new sanctions on russia targeting twenty four officials and business people as well as fourteen entities the russian foreign ministry has reacted to the measures saying the u.s. is trying to impose its head jamie even on strong independent states. breaks down

the latest measures and who's being targeted. well it's the names that are new the reasons are actually old on the u.s. treasury website you will find the explanation and it says that it's all because i'll quote it for you a range of russia's malign activities abroad and then comes the list it's crimea ukraine russia support of president bashar assad in syria and finally subverting western democracies and malicious cyber activities i'll be a bit more precise with the numbers the list includes seven russian businessmen referred to as all of arc so and some of the wealthiest people in this country then seventeen seeing your government officials as well as twelve companies one government owned weapons trading firm and also a bank the movers and shakers of the russian energy sector will have to watch out

for that list with the likes of like say miller who is the c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom featuring on that list washington says they quote unquote benefit from the putin regime and play a key role in russia's activities abroad assets that are under the american jurisdiction belonging to the designated individuals and companies will be frozen and no american citizens will any longer be able to deal with these people these kind of moves by washington obviously followed here in russia constantine kasich a senator who was also targeted by the measures called them hostile but useless. meanwhile the u.s. government has approved the sale of artillery worth one point three billion dollars to saudi arabia that it comes at the end of the saudi crown prince's three week visit to the us and is part of one of the biggest arms deals washington has ever

signed. i urge you. thank you and i am i am oh and. i am. in the weapons deal comes with saudi arabia still heavily involved in the yemeni war riyadh first intervened in twenty fifteen and the situation now in yemen is described by the un as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history twenty two million people are in need of assistance with a child under five dying every ten minutes and he and straight out to miss sound walton thinks the us is complicit in the war them and has been suffering at the

hands of saudi bombardment for over three years now and it's an absolute outrage that the u.s. the u.k. as well continue to arm with saudi arabia and you know that really makes the u.s. and u.k. complicit in the war crimes that are coming in yemen is definitely going to be a position we saw a couple of weeks ago bernie sanders in the senate lead a motion to stop arming saudi arabia full stop and that narrowly fell so there would definitely be opposition to it which is good news but really you know there can be no moral excuse for us u.k. complicity and what's going on in in yemen at the moment no excuse. when we watch thousands of people in yemen's capital sanaa have been rallying against the sound of the led coalition's bombing campaign the protest also condemned the raping and a yemeni go by a coalition soldier. for

my brazilian president lula da silva has defined a deadline to surrender to police he's been sentenced to twelve years in prison on corruption charges in a case that a shop a divided public opinion in a silver lead brazil from two thousand and three to twenty eleven barack obama once described him as the most popular president on earth oversaw strong economic growth and left office with a sky high approval rating and in january he was sentenced for bribe taking following a trial that has triggered nationwide unrest oh are. still so limited. so. good. while the court has ruled that lula da silva who has been convicted of corruption it's alleged that

while he was president of brazil that he engaged in acts of corruption he was caught up in a scandal they have ruled that that you know with his appeal still pending he can be jailed he can be taken to jail to begin serving his sentence however he has not turned himself in he was given until five pm today local time in brazil to turn himself in and begin serving his prison sentence he didn't do that at this point brazil's former president lula da silva is in a suburb of the brazilian city of south palo and he is with a lot of his supporters thousands of his supporters in a metal workers union he along with the former president. was just recently impeached over a year ago both of them have often said that these charges of corruption are politically motivated and the ruling to send will distill that to prison was quite controversial many saw it as an attempt to prevent him from participating in

brazilian politics in the future he is holed up with thousands of his supporters in in the headquarters of this metal workers union now there are protests taking place all across brazil by his supporters who say that the court rulings are not just that they are politically motivated but this isn't an attempt to to hurt the workers' party and the left wing of brazilian politics so a lot of tension brazil right now as the former president is refusing to turn himself in and surrender himself and begin serving a prison sentence well in a disservice spoke exclusively with our teach spanish conversation with korea hosted by the former president of ecuador rafael career and you can watch the full interview on our you tube channel but here's a short extract will part do you feel physically bad to my party wants me to run for president they support my candidacy and i'm greedy to do that when you let it is possible to restore brazil's economy make sure that we see economic growth again

create new jobs and help the poor become less poor if they know that i can achieve those things if they don't want to stop and i think brazil's global mission is misunderstood i'm not saying that brazil should dominate but it needs to make decisions along with the sequence countries national gridlocks america. the british government has admitted that he may have communicated with a newbie in militant group linked to last year's manchester bombing the context a bank to twenty eleven when the armed group was involved in the overthrow of colonel gadhafi. during the libyan conflict in twenty eleven the british government was in communication with a wide range of libyans involved in the conflicts against the gadhafi regime forces it is likely that this included former members of libyan islamic fighting group and seventeen debris martyrs brigade as part of a broader gauge maturing this time libyan islamic fighting group the l i f gene a longstanding and the good the afi group made up of former so-called mujahideen

fighters who returned from afghanistan to libya after that war was over many of them developed and kept their links with al qaeda militants and many of them in their defense would say that they distance themselves from al qaeda some of those include family members of salman r.b.t. the terrorists responsible for the bombing of the mountains last year and so questions being asked as to what was known about the movements of this family and other links militants and of course we've heard in the past former fighters admitting that they were allowed to travel back and forth between libya and the u.k. in what they described as an open border or an open door policy with no questions asked so many critics are asking exactly what the extent of british intelligence knowledge of fighters linked to groups like al qaeda was exiled libyan professor

marburg says it's important to know whether the u.k. still funding militias in libya. there's a link between the government and this group started in one thousand and five in afghanistan and that is no reason for me to believe that this link is disconnected one of the things that really that part of the mind is that the south teenagers didn't use the dimensions of bomb as was fifteen years old when he was told he can go to look at that incurs by m i six you just can't lend yourself with the mafia to one mafia to kill him to compact another mafia or to actually in one thousand nine hundred ninety five kind of this group is radical for that the problem still continuing for libya so we need to know where the british are a disappointment are they stopping funding groups and militias in libya just to get a hold of position and try national gains of some sort of libya in the future or not so this is these are the important things that we need to know. all about with
