11:02 am
she says though she's not surprised by the decision and she's questioned whether the british authorities do have something to hide if they are preventing a relative from visiting any profession care as the story imagine your cousin and uncle are hospitalized and in critical condition you'd likely freak out and rush to their sides this is viktoria script all surrogate screwballs nice to do just that she as a russian citizen needs a u.k. visa but she was denied we refused a visitor visa application from that tourist group powell on the grounds the ramifications 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 cousins. did you know us with us or you're not a minor. not of my list of potential users are. you
11:03 am
yet you know we. live in the. newly. ordered. me of the world that uses the dog food from you not just the book of course almost. all of the. 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 organizations 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
11:04 am
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. well surrogate script powell and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of seoul sprit on the fourth of march british officials later revealed the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent called the choke a type which used to be produced in the soviet union at the time that prompted some harsh words even from the prime minister to reason may have said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent may never recover but as we see now both are out of a coma and in a stable condition the recovery of the palace has raised questions about how they
11:05 am
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 jos 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 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 the 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
11:06 am
premature decision to identify the poison idea to find the source of the poison without giving a chance to the specs as 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 the spores into only two people if it's know of a truck as they announced it was it's not something that will not affect much mini more people. even those who. use the guise the poison gas or joe you say the stanley there is a brazilian diplomat and was the first elected director general of the international anti chemical weapons body although there has been much speculation into the reason why he decided to quit his post because just as he was leaving his post it came to light he dipset washington by encouraging iraq to become
11:07 am
a member of the p.c. w. which would mean in fact a rag having to destroy all of its chemical weapons that was apparently viewed as an obstacle to the us intention to engage in military action in iraq in an open letter supporting restarting many activists demanded to put world peace ahead of us you know that really is and has just started 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 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 the plans were ready to take some action military action against iraq according to tradition that i had it was obvious that. during the first iraq war everything had been destroyed and there was
11:08 am
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. well there was one man who was particularly against being the head of the a.p.c. w. john bolton here who was at the time the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security affairs now being appointed is the us national security adviser and will shortly take up his seat stanley says his intentions to make iraq a member of the. stood in the way of u.s. ambition. i got a phone call from john bolton from washington the first time we had contact with him and said that i do structures to to tell me that i should resign from the
11:09 am
organization 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 and he was elected by acclimation by all the member states of of your decision 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 or said i don't know when the agreement with my government and then they said ok so there will be retaliations and appeared to to to to accept the consequences assume we know where your kids are and the moment two of my face kids were in new york the studied united states one of them is american put it matter was born in new york is
11:10 am
a brazilian american. and i had another daughter in london. and i said i'm not at a period of my family's is my family is is a whale of what's going on to spear to fix the course it was so go ahead he was a little bit shocked with that and he left his not a man you can have a dialogue with. now let's go back to our breaking news this. because several people we understand being killed and many others injured two in the german city of munster let's get some details from our seas and this is just to tell us what happened exactly and what more do you know so we're receiving reports that a van has driven into a crowd of pedestrians in chimney in the city of munster that's northwest germany now local police have confirmed there are deaths and there are injuries but have not specifically said how many at this stage and they've also asked people to avoid this area that's what the police have said and that also also asking people not to

11:13 am
meanwhile of the un security council back to call for an independent investigation into all the deaths during the garza protests it was blocked by only one nation the united states the un says the use of live ammunition by israel was unnecessary and couldn't mount 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 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 in response a spokesperson for the i.d.f. posted on twitter saying rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices two in attempted terrorist attack and
11:14 am
a tweet from his colleague has sparked outrage online the picture attached to it does show a group of children here apparently closely watched by the i.d.f. the text warns quote those trying to hide from the sides of the forces however the twitter posts from officers do claim he is trying just to highlight the idea that children are being used as a weapon by hamas earlier we heard opposite views on what is happening in palestine from analysts. they talk to infiltrate into israel and they try to role model to all the battles against us and they brought with themselves so country will allow such power theme in flags on different things. they were only throwing stones or burning of the borders every israelis of the. americans the inquiry commission to come to gaza doing with the gate of the killing

11:21 am
and some other nations to you have been trying to gain a stronger foothold in the continent. 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 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
11:22 am
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 american stories 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 then washington's chief a mystery went on a charm offensive to africa back in march his trip coincided with russia's foreign
11:23 am
minister sergey lavrov visit a clear sign more school is fos to do business with africa to their diplomatic marathon across the continent set off from the same hotel in the open but there's no indication whether rex tillerson managed to tip the balance of power during the visit after all 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 i 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 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
11:24 am
