as the double agent. and his daughter begin to recover after last month. is nice from russia is refused a visa to britain. speaks with the former director general of the international organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons at the school. and also how he was pushed from his seat because he was against the u.s. invasion of iraq. i got a phone call from john bolton from washington said that i. should resign and said your management style washington. also this hour the u.s. proxy u.n. security council moved to investigate the deaths of protesters on the gaza border after at least nine palestinians were killed in a fresh round of violence including journalists. and washington will not get

a military base in gaza that's according to the country's president made the announcement following mass protests it comes as the u.s. and other countries seek ways to become more entrenched in africa. today thanks for joining us this hour. as poison. recovers from last month's attack on him and his daughter in the british city of solsbury his niece victoria who is a russian citizen has been declined a visa to visit relatives victorious cripple says she wasn't surprised by the decision and knew she would not be granted a visa she's questioned whether the british authorities have something to hide if they're preventing a relative from visiting. franco looks into victoria's story. imagine your cousin

and uncle are hospitalized and in critical condition you'd likely freak out and rush to their sides this is victoria script all surrogate screwballs nice to do just that she as a russian citizen needs a u.k. visa but she was denied we have refused the visits visa application from that tourist proposal on the grounds that her implication did not comply with the immigration rules victoria says she saw it coming just before the no from the u.k. there was this phone conversation allegedly between the script all cousins want to you know us with us so you're not a minor. not of my list of potential users are. you yet you know we. are all using the. newly. more. or to. many of the will to use is the book. the book

is called all of. you know doing it touches me and we're going to go through a yes no money and yes we don't know if this leak recording is real but it's been shown played and quoted by everyone what could victoria mean by i know perhaps something london doesn't want anyone else to know anyway forget feelings sympathy human things victoria was obviously on a kremlin mission to reach the u.k. that's what you read in the papers in britain croman pawn get it reports are now coming in setting and then sources in british organizations the foreign office there are various theories some even say she was denied an answer because london allegedly things that week terrorist group also because it is organized by the kremlin that's absurd as long as the british authorities are in top of the whole screwball case and they have the facts what the media says might be irrelevant but

basically officials haven't shared any facts that will make you scream russia did this russia did that to now that visa thing the pawn so when did speculation like this become a new british tradition like talking about the weather. a surrogate screwball and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of salzburg just around a month ago the officials in britain later revealed the pair had been poisoned by a military grade nerve agent it was a type used to be produced in the soviet union at the time that prompted some harsh words from the prime minister to resign may she said those subjected to such a powerful mob agents may never recover as we see now though both are out of coma and in stable condition and the recovery of these cripples has raised questions about just how they managed to survive after reportedly being poisoned by a nerve agent of such strength we discussed this issue with the former director general of the international organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons

shows a stunning. from my point of view. after a distance of sixteen years of course i believe the decision by the u.k. he was premature you can decide in twenty four hours what type of poison was used and where it comes from why didn't they call immediately do you see w. and why didn't the opposite w volunteered to take action because this is the role of doing decision immediately to go and identify and allies the victims take the blood samples and allies and try to identify because they have the capability to do that there are experts from all countries it's committee of people that are very expert very capable of doing this work so i was surprised and to see that it was so premature decision to identify the poison idea to find the source of the poison without giving a chance to the specters though the international going to which is after all the

the national organ with the mandate to do this type of job many questions related to the use of this poison for example how do you control and limit the use of this boys into only two people if it's know of a truck as the announced it was it's not something that will not affect much mini more people. even those who use the guys the poison gas. it was it was thought on is a brazilian diplomat he was the first elected director general of the international and chemical weapons body although there's been much a speculation to the reasons as to why he quit his seat and just as he was having his post was leaving his post it was revealed rather that by encouraging iraq to become a member of the o.p.c. w. meaning it would have to destroy all its chemical weapons he appeared to become an obstacle to the u.s. intention to engage in military action in iraq in an open letter supporting bustani

many activists to monitor put world peace ahead of us. here's a post on his accounts of what happened when i became director general there were eighty seven members and when i left it was a hundred and fifty something countries so and in my last term to enlarge the membership of all of the organisation was convincing iraq in libya for example to join in and when i am no system member states it was a shock to the americans i believe. because they had plans already to take some action military action against iraq according to fruition that i had it was obvious that. during the first iraq war everything had been destroyed and there was nothing left for iraq to be accused of still possessing chemical weapons the accusation was that my management style was not agreeable to the americans the

managed to put together a conference that was illegal for the new convention and that conference was the one that ousted me for the lack of support. there was one man who was particularly against the jews it was danny b. o.p.c. w. head that was john bolton who at the time was the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security affairs he's now been appointed as the u.s. national security advisor will shortly take his seat because it was tanny says his intentions to make iraq a member of the o.p.c. w.'s third in the way of u.s. ambitions. i got a phone call from john bolton from washington the first time i had contact with him it said that i do structures to to to tell me that i should resign from doing decision and i asked him why he said your management style was not agreeable to washington to the vice president is set to receive no way i don't accept that so he

came to the hague and you keep to my office and he said you have to resign and i give you twenty four hours this is what we want and i said no way i don't have any reason to doubt it to you i was elected by acclimation by all the member states of a goodish issue and it's only you you out there see if they are challenged my management style and they said but then again i tell you we have already discussed with your government that you should resign and said i don't know of any agreement with my government and then they said ok so there will be retaliations and appear to do to accept the consequences we know where your kids are and two of my kids were in new york the studied united states one of them is american put it matter was born in new york is a brazilian american and i had another daughter in london. and i said i'm not prepared my family's is my family is is a whale of what's going on to spear to fish that was it was so go ahead he was

a little bit shocked with it and he left his not the man you can have a dialogue with. in other headlines at least nine palestinians have been killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border and this comes after thousands of protesters staged a massive and occupation demonstration a wave of rallies broke out at the end of march and are supposed to last for weeks local journalist was right in the thick of the protest. 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 phallus immunes have been here since the morning. tensions are running high right now and the israeli army started to shoot randomly . more palestinians are getting injured why

the ambulances are already here to british take on the injuries that we're now the injured from days really i mean that by live. and i mean ition and to 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 crowds ambulance and on the medics are trying to say father and juries. palestinians are very close to the fence and no are getting out way back because the by 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 fighting 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 the. these are unexploded to gas canisters that are being targeted and suited on the palestinian protesters 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 in still near the front with a number of those injured continuing to grow palestinian medics are struggling to cope that's according to marie elizabeth ingress from doctors without borders. we don't have enough human resources drugs in disposable so we try our best to give a super ox as a minister of hair is so fluid or clinics so where we give some specialized nursing friends injured people and we try to find surgeon because they are in need of surgeon and we try to open more facilities in order to give you because it's a lot of people or is not on your question no one the last several months for some of them because they will have extended fixator they will need several surgeries so it's not only a question of when the last or not tell you are best to increase the number of humanity to agree jobs's the last days that you should continue and exactly to not be pursued in the. several journalists were injured during the protests one of them later died from his injuries mortada work for a local t.v.

production company gaza health officials said he was shot while filming close to the border he was wearing a jacket marked press as well as holding a camera israeli military hasn't provided any specific comment on the matter saying it fired only at those it called instigators of the violence a spokesperson for the i.d.f. posted on twitter they said rioters attempted to cross the security fence and also set off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack the u.s. no says the use of live ammunition by israeli forces was unnecessary and could amount to a breach of the geneva convention. an attempt to approach will cross the green line fence by itself 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 and grave breach of the fourth geneva convention of fourteen of the fifteen members of the un security council did back a call for an independent investigation into the deaths of protests during those demonstrations it was blocked by only one nation the united states the palestinian ambassador to the un described this action as very irresponsible i believe all those who defend those of you moderates particularly in the west this is a blatant case of committing a massacre against you know. hundreds of civilians killing some of them and enduring a large number of them and those that sponsor will need to face justice because this is a crime against humanity. now with the rocketing crime rates and the widespread disbelief in a corruption ridden system candidates for july's presidential elections in mexico

face an uphill battle in winning voters over they face an even harder struggle in a small indigenous town of children no that's because it's banished all political parties and along with them corruption violence organized crime and illegal logging . the. i voted for the look but he moved like. a year with this bill in the motherhood over the way they were within the but i would rather give the other both with both but with their move a killer evil. is sumit in also close to the most important of all. but the new school in the same gotta go almost as basic amen to that alyssa would be on a circle me that is totally her most but image of the control of what i got us.

like these are the result you also put it was. one of these you'll be stable me into more of a mischievous type assistance that is to be and then to say these will all come a consequence you do not say this probably said will be the likely not it will just be sold at the local do not question the other things yet get the name of luck and when he developed it all ok system was also to double up part of that in the simplicity the flaws it's the slimmest we beseech the luck was to gather got on with it was a man on the other this started out of a bus but i got left on the post the. same on the list even that i was it was consensus and i spoke about those of others and be a little less if i see on day it will be at a local or foot of the list came out of the lot of people where this got money not going to mean to eat. and actually is

a member. i said covered as to be honest something puzzles me and trust luckily all of us you go off so you system you must persistence had used them all that you got to put some of the problems. good thing with. you. humble what to put on love a song all morning when the pope was up at the. lack of money that's when you know my office they were must have come in told moments we're going to model because even though it will this is but it was the will mean for you what was there more photos a bit of me i'm. not from the moment. mass

protests i'm gonna provoke the government to make a stand against the united states find out just what how funds on more off to a short break it's. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injured. or somehow want to be preached. that you'd like to be closer to see what the full spectrum of all the people that live in pursuit of all those in the waters of the house should. there should. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball

isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killed in a round of spend spend be true to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great chance for. the next minute. to international the u.s. will not be given a military base in guyana according to the president of the west african national west african country he officially made the announcement on thursday gone or has not offered a military base and will not offer a military base to the united states of america. only made that statement off the

mass protests capital against the military's deal with the us the demonstrators will such an agreement would give washington too much influence over the country's sovereignty. just how the u.s. and some other nations have been trying to gain a stronger foothold on the continent. uncle sam is wooing africa boasting about their strong historical bond a family tree washington's key argument is seven thousand strong. scattered all across the continent the impression this mouse makes is an ambiguous africa is no one's playpen but america's this impression is wrong though in fact many african nations prefer relations not secured by the u.s. dollar and ghana is the latest country on the u.s. troublemaker list and for washington it couldn't have come at a worse time the pentagon understands hearts and minds are there for the taking

external actors may diminish u.s. influence by undermining our development and diplomatic efforts in africa nonetheless as the strategic environment becomes more crowded and competitive are engaging with external actors like china and russia will continue with an open and clear discussion of intersecting interests and differences beijing's clearly stepping on americans tollways in africa chinese firms have invested billions of dollars into the continent's infrastructure their contribution has been the catalyst for a continental free trade area somewhat equivalent to the european union but much bigger soft power has got washington in a twist with sales pitches attempting to undermine china's expansion in africa partner with. good governance to meet long term security and development goals. this stands in stark contrast to china's approach which encourages dependency using

opaque contracts predatory loan practices and corrupt deals rex tillerson and then washington's chief a mystery went on a charm offensive to africa back in march his trip coincided with russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov his visit and a clear sign more school is steadfast to do business with africa to their diplomatic marathon across the continent set off from the same hotel in. but there's no indication whether rex tillerson managed to tip the balance of power during the visit after rule why would anyone listen to a man who was shown the door the day he returned to american shores if i were a betting man i would bet the united states would lose the competition not only with china but with russia and turkey perhaps even with friends say that because in part united states has a very arrogant attitude that it takes towards people from africa and that's just

set aside which is a united states does not have the economic or right answer wherewithal to compete with china in any case and then finally there is. nation on the african continent with regard to u.s. interference in the internal affairs of african continents all in all i would say that united states prospects in africa going forward are rather poor. modern day slavery is on the rise in europe according to report by the council of europe in some countries labor exploitation has overtaken sex trafficking we spoke to pettiness thought of all who was involved in making that report. there is an increase in the number of people who fall victim to this to not know there are a number of countries where labor trafficking emerges as the main farm in the u.k. a party girl cyprus a few other countries there are more victims of labor trafficking now being in a defined then section so this is

a new trend and the report is actually talking about this. and the report covers the period starting from january twenty seventh and mentions forty seven countries while good workers are mostly risk with male victims found in sectors like a culture and hospitality and women in the most that corker work people as well as homeless children are also reportedly susceptible to being exploited the report calls for countries through improve the laws as well as work with n.g.o.s and businesses. again so really these are people who. come from countries in europe countries where the canonic problems currently make a lot of people unemployed the problem is often they have debts they have example a community debts in order to travel to another country. or they paid some fees through the agency which employed them pastorally stake in the way they're not made the salary they were promised or they're not and anything they're made to work very

long working hours so there are a lot of people who are from within the european union countries who moved to undercut the same bulgarians going to spain well main street elite but they're also people come from countries in africa asia and latin america so to truly transnational phenomenon. well. his mr i again will not report. exists is hotter than kentucky. so we both just move them boys you can go through three funnies are you.

a co money since it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the pay was a sudden down that it was a lot of to see these 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 the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. the tech sector that's leading this rally we've seen for the past five or six years requires a logistics on a global basis to work in perfect sync so there's going to be a fallout if some countries are going to go to war with each other but they can be trade wars which can be cyber wars that means that platforms that require precipitation and sinking will not fall out and drop out and crashing in different

areas so their revenues have got to suffer as a result. under attack didn't it companies know where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agent. now as an american i'd be remiss if i didn't occasionally talk about the most powerful state in our lovely country the one with the largest budget the one people ignore half the time and then when they talk about it they look terrified like my loser jobbers. they're all worried i get fired you know the one i'm talking about israel yet. so if you've been watching independent outside the mainstream news then you know

that a week ago there was an absolute massacre in gaza israeli snipers simply opened fire on thousands of unarmed palestinians killing at least eighteen and wounding well over a thousand videos have been released of snipers shooting protesters while they were simply you know walking around or praying but if you turned on the mainstream corporate media in the rare moment they covered it we had to really look for these videos try and find their reporting on it and in the rare moment they did you get a more vague mysterious view of events the european union is calling for a transparent investigation this after the deaths of seventeen palestinians in clashes with israeli troops on friday debts of seventeen palestinians but out of date who knows if they go off into interpretation like a like a row or shack massacre you know it's a rorschach occurred it was crazy nobody knows nobody knows how they died maybe

maybe maybe they were playing pickle ball and things got out of hand you know it maybe maybe they ate some bad wrong or easters at the gaza seven eleven that they should have know never eat oysters that are sold next to a hama scan and all right everyone knows that everyone knows that. by the way i have to yarmouth actually awful don't care hundreds of palestinians will be on the rest took place on the gaza border hundreds were who did in the own rest by walk by who they were they were just wounded they were they were wounded you know like there's other things just happened like a like a rainstorm or sleeping with your wife says jerry.
