i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here in that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. the blame game over the poisoning or formal russian double agent and the. question is that also this week the british foreign secretary is being called to account for his russian occupation is as the british test for the nerve agent said it was unable to identify the source. well in the meantime doctors say both the former russian spy and his daughter are no longer in a critical condition a close relative who's been refused a visa to visit them has written to the reason why. they are scared that i will find out something more thank you we will tell you some yes they try to manipulate me. but i might fight i will fight to the if i fail here i will go to the

u.n. . now bad lines at least ten palestinians are killed off from israeli forces using live ammunition against demonstrators in gaza. and this is really dangerous to our driver see and also this hour one of the largest u.s. media groups comes on the fire for telling t.v. presenters to read a script promo against fake news. welcome to international law for moscow with me. today thanks for joining us this hour. the war of accusations has been raising this week over the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter a british military laboratory admitted it couldn't identify the source of the nerve agent used although the government has consistently claimed there was

a direct link to russia. takes up the story. it's a right old kid on drugs on the one hand you skip the trial screamed guilty and jump to the punishment part 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 laboratory at portadown made clear that this was a military grade novacek 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 all right 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 nobby chuck 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 end to 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 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 porton dollars. 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 where 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 before the break on. we are russian. russia.

there's also an end to rate of criticism on twitter from britain's main opposition labor party over boris johnson's assurances russia was behind the poisoning one commentator on johnson's notorious german t.v. interview asking if you wanted to delete that as well of the stress the need to check the evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and claimed the incidents 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 used 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 policy let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way this us huge implications for more sensible to take

a measured approach and be clear about the evidence all the evidence and surrogates kripalani is daughter conscious on a park bench in the city of british officials later revealed the police said those subjected to such a power of a victorious cripple is the niece of the former double agent she's been trying to get to the u.k. to visit her relatives a visa application though was rejected she's since written a letter to the british prime minister. just when you need it but now the whole world is talking about a political scandal does the heart of the scandal are real people who put together all documents missing from their placation and i hope you know you're a critic tricks will prevent me from seeing my loved ones i ask the u.k. and you personally to reconsider the decision to refuse my visa they are scared that i will find out something more that he will tell me something yes they try to many please me not the crime one but m i five i will fight to the end if i fail

here i will go to the un. or some british media outlets have suggested the application was blocked because the government fears she was being coached by the kremlin others claim the russian government's use of victoria scrip are as a pawn in a political game or victoria so she was not surprised that having her visa request rejected she's questioned whether the british authorities have something to hide or preventing a relative from visiting an exclusive interview to the roughly video agency victoria claims that in a phone conversation her cousin was being prompted. at first i was happy that you were called but it was clear that she wasn't speaking her own words she was being prompted you can hear it in the recording but there's a 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. in other headlines at least ten palestinians were killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday this comes after thousands of protesters stage

they massive occupation demonstration. when 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 and the israeli army started to shoot trend of your 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 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 booklets and at the tear gas and there it's cross ambulance and on the medics are trying to save all the injuries as you see 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 gas 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 viewed 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 the last four 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 several journalists have also been injured in the clashes one of whom later died yes a more target worked for a local t.v. production company gaza health officials said he was shot while filming close to the border and later died in hospital in this photo you can see he was wearing a jacket marked press the israeli military said it only fired at those it called instigators of the violence a spokesperson for the idea of posted on twitter they said riot is attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack of fourteen of the fifty members of the un security council did back a call for an independent inquiry into all deaths caused by israel's use of live ammunition during the rallies it was blocked by only one nation the united states we discussed the issue with an expert from palestine and with an analyst from israel. nordic or that mentioned that there was fire from the palestinian side

there was a few who could because the two hand the palestinian flag on the fence and orly and the audit there were only throwing stones or burning wheels on the border every day is razor thin that while not accepting with the americans the inquiry commission to come to gaza doing with the gate of the killing of the twenty nine b. will and the injuries have been here some of them actually hamas fighters and hamas . and most of those who were killed last week well among them was people who are paid by hamas. to work for hamas. so what do they want to organize your attacks against israel and and what is the. doing the thinking. now one of the largest local broadcasting corporations in the

us is facing a backlash over a promotional outsmart warning against fake news presenters on dozens of its channels were made to read out the exact same scripted message the sharing of biased and false news has become common to comment on the social media more. recently for you with. unfortunately for some reason to believe there's nothing. you can't control. everything and this is really dangerous to your driver see all that footage was from the sinclair group which is known for its conservative stance almost two hundred stations across america and reaches about forty percent of all u.s. households the broadcast the claims the project no political agenda however the initiative has drawn anger across mainstream media critics say the message supports donald

trump's clay. some popular outlets all sporting fake news pretty much and surprisingly of course the us president stepped on twitter into the spot to defend the group telling news organizations what to say and do is that i.q. sation we have heard before explains russian media is a beacon of honesty truth and integrity we work hard to maintain our outstanding level of work unlike foreign outlets who lie i love putting. my money. spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcasts with anchors 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 concentrated. on the platforms well and its recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems. to be what is 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. your. stories are very plaguing our country as you can see anchors from different are which was by the way leaked to some media outlets and it looks like they only had to fill in their names. and the greatest responsibility is to serve our own northwest community used. 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 parties

and yet professional black or charcoal suits from and females should wear yellow gold magenta sign and how to avoid red blue power pope 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 while the propaganda finger is so often pointed at russia it looks like we actually have quite a bit to learn starting with my wardrobe. news on the gas attack in syria coming up after this short break stay tuned here on r.t. .

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so what you want to express should. be something i want to. achieve right. this is what the fuck are you to keep the. interest of all those that belongs. there.

welcome back to the weekly controversial syrian activist group the white helmets has accused the syrian government of carrying out a chemical attack in the rebel occupied town of duma following those unconfirmed reports the u.s. has already called on the syrian government and its backers including russia to be held accountable the allegation comes as syrian forces have liberated ninety percent of eastern ghouta on klav which was occupied for years by multiple rebel terror groups thousands of civilians have returned to their homes in the liberated areas a move made possible under a syrian deal rather between the syrian government and the groups that used to occupy the enclave while the agreement has divisions within some of the militant groups many did back the deal it provided a safe passage up for them and their families. now among the factors leading to the deal were negotiations between russia and iran on syria the latest meeting between the leaders of the three countries on wednesday the russian president cited

intelligence reports they apparently showed attempts by some groups to destabilize the peace process with possible false flag attacks involving a chemical agent. because she's part of the. joint strategic goal is to eliminate the terrorists you keep trying to destabilize the situation on the ground and sabotage the peace process they are doing this in every way possible and we have obtained undeniable evidence of planned provocation by the militants with the use of chemical agents. now or to use that up to try and co was following the some wanted on korea he's got more now on how russia and the wrong plan to provide a fuchsia for syria. the three guarantors have met here at anchor us presidential palace there's absolutely no doubt about the three countries commitment to what they're doing together though they're all here with their own different missions fibered on keep saying that his country won't tolerate any armed kurdish militias

in northern syria so the so-called branch continues no matter what the iranian leader hassan rouhani says that external powers although he did specifically mention the u.s. and israel keep trying to use terrorists on the ground to reach some of their own goals for tehran is strong foothold in syria is a strong message to tel aviv and some of its other regional adverse reese lot of our putin's proud the speed of russia's evacuation efforts and he's 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 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. in syria fight isis that is our mission and 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 mind about their future presence in syria all he said was you should go and ask the people across the atlantic and all mr aired on once to say to the americans stop funding and arming the kurds. well it doesn't seem 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 early video news agency from the ground in northern syria shows an american military base with u.s. made when a tree quitman station the reporter spoke to kurdish fighters that base here is what they had to say about the purpose of the set up. at the heart of the base was established for the coalition a year ago to counter the turkish durant's the americans are protecting the front here so they will be ready if in the sultan's many cameras the american said there will be coordination between us and they would intervene at any moment and repel any attack on our front line this is the crux of the of the conflict between the two day two powers the us and turkey the us is manipulating trying to use the kurds as a tool for its own interests and meanwhile the meanwhile turkey wants to

crush the kurds for you know for various reasons the kurds are being manipulated i think and we'll see how it plays. hunger ians are heading to the polls to cast their ballots in a parliamentary election this sunday the current prime minister viktor orban has already cast his vote you can see there opinion polls predict his conservative ruling party called will grab the majority of the seats in the country's parliament of course we'll bring you all the latest news from the election throughout the day as the results come in. over to paris now where people in a district of the french capital claim their lives are being ruined by gangs of gun migrants they say drugs thefts and fights on the streets make a dangerous place to live shot to do with he's been there speaking to some of the local residents. as you exit the metro in much of paris is eighteenth. the

first thing in a groups of young men. locals claim. mostly africa they say they form gangs and generally wreak havoc theft is common and it's clear even the police this area as problematic within minutes were offered advice from an officer. to see police stopping young men and searching their banks. the locals say terrorized by a group of around sixty juveniles migrants from morocco but because they teenagers the police rarely do anything more than give them a caution before letting go again. with knives the time of night when the kids don't.

like five or six of them. looks like the. it's like yeah you know it's like. it's. like you know it would be. yeah yeah. this is part of the gang he was referring to they look like young children but local say they've had enough of them fifteen hundred have signed a petition for action those who know the area say residents are taking precautions . but before the first move the lead. to. the city council tried

to do with the hope of the teacher allocated seven hundred pounds a year it's good news same to trying to these children off the streets but it seems most show no interest in the fees and support it seems they prefer to live on the streets surviving on the mystery upwards somewhat devinsky ot see paris. those are the headlines for myself i would seem here at all t. for this hour do you join us again eleven am moscow time for the latest headlines. we try to deconstruct all of these manipulative dichotomies shaun of the world that islam 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 that the same time via a member of secular societies it is possible. with

nor make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the flame and merry go round to listen to the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. to lose any real news is really.
