a fresh round of violence including the journalist. a muslim said will not be offered a military base in the country's president makes the announcement the following mass protests in the country it comes as the u.s. as well as other countries seek ways to become more entrenched in africa. you're watching all of the international live with me wherever you are today thanks for joining us on the program. as poison. recovers from last month's attack on him and his daughter in the british city of saul's bree his niece victoria who's a russian citizen has been declined a visa to visit her sick relatives victoria screwball says she was not surprised by the decision and she knew she would not be granted a visa she questioned whether the british authorities have something to hide so if they're preventing

a relative from visiting. 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 victoria script 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 we just know what you're not of mine and you know. not on my list of potential users are. you. leaving me can you just move in with me at first but. already.

many of the book that you said the doctor told me and others the book is called almost. the. only other warning it took years to come to 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 that toria 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 are going to the foreign office there are various theories some even say she was denied an answer because london allegedly things that experience cripples 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 too now that visa thing the pawn so when did speculation like this become a new british tradition like talking about the weather. so i guess group hour and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of souls of a month ago british officials later revealed the pair had been poisoned by a military grade nerve agent of a type of previously produced in the soviet union at the time that prompted some harsh words even from the prime minister to reason may she said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent may never recover as we see now though both are out of coma and in a stable condition and the recovery of the script has raised questions about just the other managed to survive after reportedly being poisoned by a nerve agent of such strength we discussed this issue with a former director general of the international organization of the prohibition of

chemical weapons which was a stunning. from my point of view. after additions of sixteen years of course i believe the decision by the u.k. 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 drop the c.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

international 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 guise the poison gas. it was thought he just heard from there is a brazilian diplomat he was also the first elected director general of the international anti chemical weapons body there's been much speculation into the reasons as to why he quit his seat let's take a look at the story i just as he was about to leave his post it was revealed that by encouraging iraq to become a member of the meaning it would have to destroy all of 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 study

many activists to monitor put world peace ahead of us you know naturalism and here's a post on his account 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 attempt to enlarge the membership of all of the organisation was convincing iraq and 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 the information 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 convention and that conference was the one that ousted me for the lack of support. i was one man who was particularly against those ever started being the o.p.c. w. heads that was john bolton at the time he was the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security affairs he's now been appointed as the us national security advisor will shortly take you see those it will start he says his intention is to make iraq a member of the p.c. w. stood 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 had his 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 dick cheney the vice president cetera said 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 over to you i was elected by acclimation by all the member states of a good musician it's only you you out there sees the challenge 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 nor any agreement with my government and then they said ok so there will be retaliations and appear to to to to accept the consequences we know where your kids are and two of my case kids were in new york the studied united states one of them is american for that 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 that's going on to spear to fish the course it was so go ahead and he was

a little bit shocked that he left his not a man you can have a dialogue with. our other headlines at least ten palestinians have been killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday this comes after thousands of protesters staged a massive occupation rally a wave of demonstrations broke out at the end of march and are supposed to last for weeks local journalist who was in the middle 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 phylis immunes have been here since the morning. tensions are running high right now as the israeli army started to shoot transmute . your policy towns are getting injured why

the ambulances are already here to bridge to take on the injuries that we're now the injured from days already i mean that by live bullets and i mean nation and to tear gas canisters. this is one of the injuries that was injured just right now from the alley for book bullets and at the tear gas and then it's crowded ambulance and on the medics are trying to say father and juries. and 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 way of the tires the palestinian youths have been trying since the mining and at the same time the israeli army have been throwing tear gas canisters and targeting the palestinians

where 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. thousands of hundreds of palestinians have been here since the morning and we saw palestinian protesters burning flags and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the american sense that morning tension is running high right now and palestinians are still in the field in still near the fans several journalists were injured during the protests as well

one of them later died from his wounds yes some more to go 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 and holding a camera the israeli military hasn't provided any specific comment on the matter saying it fired only those that called instigators of the violence a spokesperson for the idea posted on twitter saying rioters attempted to cross the security fence as well as setting off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack the u.n. though 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 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 in

a situation where there was no threat of death or or serious injury the unjustified and 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 out of the fifteen members of the un security council did back a call for an independent investigation into the deaths during the protests in gaza it was brought though by only one nation the united states the palestinian the un described the action as very responsible. 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 large number of them and those responsible need to face justice because this is a crime against humanity low put loopholes in laws open the doors for modern day

slavery in europe where we've got that story and more after this short break. to try to deconstruct all these manipulative dichotomies shaun of the world that is a religion and it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be

a practicing muslims who believe that the koran is the word of god and at the same time and then bar of secular societies it is possible. welcome back to the program the u.s. will not be offered a military base that's the according to the president of the west african nation. ghana has not offered a military base and will not offer a military base to the united states of america. that statement comes after mass protests as you can see there regarded as a capital against the military deal with the united states the demonstrators were worried such an agreement would give washington too much influence over the country

sovereignty goes down off looks at how the u.s. and some other nations have been trying to gain a stronger foothold in the continent. uncle sam is wooing africa boasting about their strong historical bond a family tree washington's key argument is a seven thousand strong saw 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

gauging 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 our. good governance to meet long term security and development goals . this stands in stark contrast to try and his approach which encourages dependency using opaque contracts predatory loan practices and corrupt deals rex tillerson then washington's chief a mystery went on a charm offensive to africa back and much his trip coincided with russia's foreign

minister sergei lavrov visit 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 to set aside which is a united states does not have the economic right answer well 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 continent 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 the e.u. but according to a report by the council of europe in some countries labor exploitation has now overtaken sex trafficking we spoke to pettiness thought of a who was involved in making that report. there is an increase in the number of people who fall victim to this autonomic now there are a number of countries where labor trafficking emerges as the main farm in the u.k. to girls cypress a few other countries there are more victims of labor trafficking now being an end to find and sexual so this is a new trend and the report is actually talking about this. for the report covers the period beginning january twenty seventh two mentions forty seven countries migrant workers are mostly at risk with the male victims found in sectors such as

agricultural and hospitality and women in domestic work roma people and homeless children are also reportedly susceptible to being exploited the report calls for countries to improve the laws as well as work with n.g.o.s and businesses is personal sort of again so really the these are people who they come from countries in europe countries where the problems currently make a lot of people unemployed and the problem is often they have debts they have example accumulated debts in order to travel to to another country. or they paid some fees to 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 there are a lot of people who are from within the european union countries who moved out because of the same bulgarians going to spain well mainly in st louis but there are also people come from countries in africa and asia and latin america so to truly

transnational phenomenon. now the role of huge giants in blocking the promotion of cryptocurrency this has been up for debate in russia the country streamer of commerce organized the round table and was it experts to make their suggestions on just how to overcome the current barriers to go francis a target was. a roundtable was organized by the russian chamber of commerce on the subject of internet advertisements and its new found barriers for russian businesses including mass media and block change technologies the panel is hosted by herman in an advisor to the russian president as well as russia's internet buds and meet the marine chef the vice president of the russian chamber of commerce as well as russia's leading blocking lawyer alexander has shot just this invitation of the list that eluded the grid to news sites that advertised on facebook are being blocked and this is a real challenge we're being vetted in the places where we feel at home with the kids. you know the governors are there for their companies like facebook twitter

google and yandex have said they would block any advertising connected to cryptocurrency eason i.c.'s but they've given no real justification for that there would be to suffer some of that for some companies consider themselves so big and powerful they can install leaders in america germany or anywhere else and you can't do anything if you don't pay them if you let the political shit most to the good people who can't see what's going on should be aware that companies are setting their own rules on freedom of information by using the colossal amount of data that they control this is part of a chain of events that we saw with the facebook scandal when the corporation decided that it has the right to free trade people's private profiles for commercial and political goals. it seems the political and business leaders of the blace movement in russia have come together to weigh their options and create a structured and concise plan for a retaliation against the recent facebook and twitter limitations for both i.c.a.o.

and russian media still more than a zealot down the solution. so what can be done by russia and other countries that have gotten the same slant of their media and pop and blocking companies what could be the answer. to this little clip foundation she. the set up to pay for legal fees in the u.s. and other jurisdictions to collectively sue those who violate the law stay tuned for the latest from the world of crypto on crypto you're out of moscow russia miguel francis and giago r.t. . or finally this hour we scroll this one away for you at the end of the rundown it's a lovely tale for you from kazakhstan a bushy tail in fact do take a look. what's
