jump to the punishment pot on the other your own guys come out and say hold on there's no evidence and now this is by we're living experts at the defense science and technology laborde three and porton down made clear that this was a military grade not be choked nerve agent produced in russia we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that well that's embarrassing alright keep calm first google back on your word and just to be sure delete any old tweets then riposte experts who say the opposite of what you said. our experts have precisely identified in their region as

novacek it is not and has never been our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent now pretend that nothing happened which is hard to do in the into that really the brits ended up having to explain themselves and conveniently scapegoated the poor fellow who transcribed the briefing one of the tweets was truncated and did not accurately report her master's words we've removed this tweet you remember what i said about scapegoating he really did but barge johnson himself had said almost the same thing said it's on video you argue that their source of the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence i mean the people from from portland they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no

doubt wouldn't want to be in their shoes right about now yet they did find a way around it a simple statement saying that boris johnson didn't mean it like that what the foreign secretary said then and what putin donna said recently is fully consistent with what we've said throughout having taken things so far so fast they can't afford to do a u. turn this investigation could end in two ways with proof of russia's guilt or with an uncomfortable silence and hope that everyone forgets until then boris keep doing what you do every day your support the figure on the. russian. government russia. well there's also a bit of a rate of criticism on twitter from britain's main opposition labor party over
1:05 am
boris johnson's assurances that russia was behind that incident one commented on johnson's notorious german t.v. interview asking if you wanted to delete that as well others stressed the need to check the evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and claimed the incident is being used as a diversionary tactic seems to me the government were indulging in political point scoring particularly boris johnson who raced ahead of the evidence and use this terrible incident not so much as a smoking gun but more of a smokescreen really it was a very convenient wasn't for the government to use this as a way of diverting attention from their own difficulties over bricks economic policy let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way that such huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence and lead all the evidence so i guess group our and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of salzburg on march the fourth british officials later

says she was not surprised knew she wouldn't be granted a visa she's question whether the british authorities have something to hide or if they're if they're preventing a relative from visiting however some british media outlets have suggested the application was blocked because the government feared she was being coached by the kremlin others claim the russian government is using victoria scruple as a pawn political game or victoria herself meanwhile claims that a phone conversation she had with your cousin was being prompted but first it was happy that you were called but it was clear that she was not speaking her own words she was being prompted you can hear it in the recording but at the start she was told yes you can talk which meant that she was being guided she had the number dialed for her because she obviously couldn't remember all nine figures of my number. russia called for a meeting of the u.n. security council over the scribble case which the russian ambassador said had

alice in wonderland that is sometimes i believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast say i think that's they quite suits my question callie best. of fairy tale needs a good old fashioned. allowing mesh and scientists into an investigation when they are the most likely at pepper traces of the crime insoles great would be like sculpting in fighting game professor laurie archie. it's rather like the beginning of crime and punishment where roll call for news about the identity of the culprit the only question is whether he will first confess or be cool. what is once you saw as last moment
1:10 am
boris johnson mentioned just a of ski's crime and punishment saying that the novel's main intrigue was whether the culprit would confess before getting caught the novel by the way is not about that at all it's not a detective story it's serious work of philosophical literature i would advise boris johnson to read other works of the state's case or at least learn the titles . now in other headlines at least ten palestinians were killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday that came after thousands of protesters staged their massive anti occupation protest.
1:11 am
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 in years have been here tensions are running high right now as the israeli army started to shoot trend of your palestinians are getting injured why the ambulances are already here too pretty to take all the injuries that we're now the injured from days already i mean 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 al for booklet and at the tear gas and the red cross ambulance and on the medics are trying to save all the injuries as you see
1:12 am
the palestinian protesters are running away from the tear gas canisters that were thrown just right now and the protesters. so these are unexploded to gus canisters that are being targeted and suited on the palestinian protesters thousands of hundreds of palestinians have been here and we saw palestinian protesters burning view as flags and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the americans. a wave of rallies began at the end of march with organizers claiming they'll last for several weeks during the past seven days more than twenty palestinians have been killed with many more wounded during what's being called the great march of return is not only the protesters who've suffered though several journalists have also been injured in the clashes and one of them later died from his injuries yes targo worked for
1:13 am
a local t.v. production company gaza health officials say he was shot while filming close to the border and died in hospital and this photo you can see you was wearing a jacket marked press the israeli military hasn't directly commented on the matter only saying it fired at those it called instigators of the violence over a spokesperson for the i.d.f. did post on twitter they said rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set of explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack all fourteen of the fifty members of the un security council back to call for an independent investigation into all the deaths during the protests in gaza it was blocked by only one nation the united states the un says the use of live ammunition was by israel was unnecessary and could amount to a breach of the geneva convention we discussed the issue with an expert from palestine and with an expert from israel. no record that mentioned that there was
1:14 am
fire from the palestinian side there was a few who could cross the fences to hang the palestinian flag on different things and the order they were only throwing stones or burning wheels and the board of everything is razor thin that while not accepting with the americans the inquiry commission to come to gaza to investigate of the killing of the twenty nine b. will and the injuries have been here some of them were actually hamas fighters and some us divorced and most of those who were killed last week well among them was people who are paid by hamas. and actually work for hamas as their own list so what do they want to organize terror attacks against israel and and what israel should. doing that i think. one of the largest local broadcasting corporations in the us is facing a backlash over
1:15 am
a promotional announcement warning against fake news presenters on dozens of its channels were made to read out the exact same scripted message. this sharing of biased and false news here you can call to comment on the social media. recently are we with you first fortunately the members of congress the. you can't control. what you say and this is really dangerous for a driver see the sinclair group which is known for its a conservative stance owns almost two hundred stations across america and reaches about forty percent of all u.s. households for the broadcast the claims the project served no political agenda over the initiative has drawn anger across the mainstream media critics say the message supports donald trump's claims some popular outlets are spreading fake news now the
1:16 am
us president stepped in to defend the sinclair group over telling news organizations what to say and do is an accusation we've heard before. explains russian media as a beacon of honesty truth and integrity we work hard to maintain our outstanding level of work unlike foreign outlets who lie i love. most of my mind. spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcasts with angers and correspondents forced to read a prepared script no details left to chance so much of it is state funded after all but in the us where so many channels are corporate owned it must be different right sinclair broadcast group which owns almost two hundred television stations and broadcast on around six hundred channels proudly proclaims its mission statement that it provides stories that make a difference the key to our success is concentrate. on all
1:17 am
platforms well and its recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems our readers to mistrust my libido is just sort of our treasure valley communities deal pass a loss christmas communities eastern i was. in communities we're extremely proud of the quality balance journalism that c.b.s. news produces but we just think your. stories are very plaguing our country as you can see anchors from different channels reading the same script there which was by the way leaked to some media outlets and it looks like they only had to fill in their names. and i'm the greatest responsibility is to servo northwest communities. and if you look closely you'll notice an absence of certain colors in their wardrobes that's no accident they were given specific instructions on how to dress in order to look neutral the goal is to look apolitical neutral nonpartizan yet professional black. females should
1:18 am
wear yellow gold magenta sign devoid red blue purple because everyone knows that magenta is the color that gives you and your bias away apart from these promo sinclair also distributes what's known as must run segments to their stations so all the propaganda finger is so often pointed at russia it looks like we actually have quite a bit to learn. starting with my wardrobe what helmets have accused the syrian government of carrying out a chemical attack in rebel occupied duma that causation comes off the ninety percent of the area was liberated by syrian government forces we'll have more on the story after this short break. but hopes as. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be. the two going to
1:19 am
be press this is what the three of them all can't be good. interested always in the water. question. many plebs 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. and spend the children twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think i know about the beautiful game great chance for. a. minute.
1:20 am
welcome back to the weekly here on r.t. of the controversial syrian activist group the white house has accused the syrian government of carrying out a chemical attack in the rebel occupied town of duma following unconfirmed reports the u.s. has already called on the syrian government and its backers russia to be held accountable the allegation comes as syrian forces have taken back ninety percent of the eastern ghouta enclave which was occupied for years by multiple rebel terror groups thousands of civilians have returned to their homes in the liberated parts. a move made possible under a deal between the syrian government and the groups that used to occupy the enclave while that agreement has so divisions within some of the militant groups many did back the deal as well which proved provided rather a safe passage out of them and their families. now among the factors leading to the
1:21 am
deal were to go between russia turkey and iran on syria at the latest meeting between the leaders of the three countries on wednesday the russian president sided intelligence reports showing attempts by some groups to destabilize the peace process with possible false flag attacks involving a chemical agent. pushes through options for the. joint strategic goal is to eliminate the terrorists who keep trying to destabilize the situation on the ground and sabotage the peace process they are doing this in every way possible we have obtained undeniable evidence of planned provocation by the militants with the use of chemical agents. well it's easier to trying to was following the summit and cora he's got more on how russia iran and turkey plan to provide syria with a future. the three guarantors have met here at ankara's presidential palace there's absolutely no doubt about the three countries commitment to what they're
1:22 am
doing together though they're all here with their own different ambitions diverted on keep saying that his country won't tolerate any artist militias in northern syria so the so-called grandchildren will continue no matter what the iranian leader hassan rouhani says that external powers although he didn't specifically mention the u.s. and israel he finds to use terrorists on the ground to reach some of their own ball or to run a strong foothold in syria is a strong message to tel aviv and some of its other regional adverse rees lot of our poor crowd the speaks of russia's evacuation efforts and. which have paid off then something that wasn't planned happened then suddenly appeared on encourage the journalists to ask questions and we heard one that we've been waiting for for two days about america being back and forth over its future role in syria and here's
1:23 am
what i mean by that will become another syria like very soon very soon very soon would come in saudi arabia. is very interested no decision and i said well why didn't you want to say maybe you can have to pay we are in syria to fight isis and that is our mission in the mission isn't over and we're going to complete that mission so it was the first one to jump in iran's hassan rouhani couldn't miss his chance to throw a punch at washington. the u.s. says one thing one day and then a completely different thing the next so we cannot trust the words and actions it seems they want to benefit from syria as much as possible a lot of our putin didn't seem to be impressed either with u.s. officials not being able to make up their minds about their future presence in syria all he said was you should go and ask the people across the atlantic and all mr airto on ones to say to the americans stop funding and arming the kurds.
1:24 am
or doesn't seem though that washington is willing to give up on its kurdish allies in syria in favor of its nato ally turkey any time soon this exclusive footage obtained by video news agency from the ground in northern syria shows an american military base with u.s. made military equipment stationed there our reporter spoke to kurdish fighters at that base here's what they said about the purpose of this location. at the heart of the base was established for the coalition a year ago to counter the turkish threat the americans are protecting the front here so they will be ready if in the sultan's. the american said there will be coordination between us and they would intervene at any moment and repel any attack on our front line. and in other news people in a district of paris claim their lives are being ruined by gangs of young migrants they say drugs their fists and fights on the streets make it dangerous to live
