the blame game over the poisoning of a former russian double agent in the u.k. generated more questions than answers this week the british foreign secretary is being called to account for the russian accusations as the british lab test of the nerve agent said it was unable to identify the source meanwhile 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 a reason why. they are scared that i will find out something more like you would tell me something yes they try to many probably not the kremlin but m i five i will fight to the end if i fail here i will go to the. other news at least ten

palestinians are killed after israeli forces used live ammunition against protesters in gaza. and this is really dangerous to our driver see one of the largest u.s. media groups comes under fire for telling its t.v. presenters to read a script to provoke against fake news. and i welcome to the weekly on our teams a national life from moscow with me. thanks for joining us today. now a war of accusations has been raising this week over the poisoning of a four what 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. looks at 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 i was his by were living experts at the defense science and technology laboratory at porton down 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 alright keep calm first goo 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 nabil chalk 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 navi 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 with the four and six he 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 are you ready for the big break on the. russian action. if that. russia. was also put at a rate of criticism on twitter from britain's main opposition labor party over the

foreign secretaries assurances russia was behind the poisoning one comment on johnson's notorious german t.v. interview asking if he wanted to delete that as well other stressed the need to check the evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous you can see that 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 than 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 of a. policy let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way this is huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence and all the evidence. so a great script and his daughter were found unconscious on

a park bench in the city of salzburg on march the fourth british officials later revealed the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent called the chalk type which was first developed in the soviet union at the time prime minister to reason may said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agents may never recover victorious profile is the niece of the former double agent she's been trying to get to the u.k. to visit relatives of these up like a shallow was rejected she's since written a letter to the british prime minister geoffrey but now the whole world is stuck in about a political scandal down the heart of this scandal are real people who put together all documents missing from their placation and i hope you know her credit 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 u.n. . some british media outlets sub suggested the application was blocked because the government feared she was being coached by the kremlin others claim the russian government is using victoria screwball as a pawn in a political game or victoria herself says she wasn't surprised that having her visa application rejected she's questioned whether the british authorities have something to hide by preventing a relative from visiting in an exclusive interview to the video agency joria claims that in a phone conversation her cousin was being prompted. plz help a lot at first i was happy that you had 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 this is 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. called for an urgent meeting of the u.n.

security council over the screwball case which the russian ambassador said had become a theater of observer to likening it to a fictional love. this paper has just been picked up what's in it so the queen i haven't opened it yet so the word that i've been with it seems to be a letter written by the prison a dude to somebody other than the prisoners can bing us in other the judum. know their knots of the word the baby please your majesty is of the maid i didn't write that and they come provided there is no mames signed of them if you didn't sign it said the king that only makes the mother worse you must have meant some mischief let the jury can see that the verdict the king so what about the twenty's during the day no most of the queen sentenced first verdict after.

vomiting that remind you of anything as a. very good quite alice in wonderland that is sometimes i believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast say i think that's the quite see it's my question callie best. every fairy tale needs a good ol fashioned. allowing mission scientists into an investigation when they are that maced likely capita rate is at the crime insoles very would be like scotland yard in fighting game professor laurie r.c. . it's rather like the beginning of crime and punishment where all the confidence about the identity of the culprit the only question is whether he will first confess or because.

what is once his last last moment boris johnson mention dostoyevsky's crime and punishment saying that the knobs. mean intreat 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 street or at least learn the titles. and all the headlines at least ten palestinians were killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday this comes after thousands of protesters stage the massive occupation rally.

we're now maybe one hundred meters only far away from the fence you can see the crowd you can see the protesters flooded then hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been here tensions are running high right now and the israeli army started to shoot trend to be more palestinians are getting injured why that ambulances are i mean here to british take on the injuries that were not. injured sunday's really i mean that by live bullets and i mean nation and it tear gas canisters this is one of the injuries that was injured just right now friend. rubber bullets and at the tear gas and there it's crowds ambulance and. the medics are trying to save the

injuries as you see the palestinian protesters are running away from the tear gas canisters that. 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. and israeli flags and also saying slogans against the israelis and the americans and wave of rallies began at the end of march with organizers claiming the last for several weeks and here in the past seven days more than twenty palestinians have been killed many more wounded during what's being called the great march of return and several journalists have also been injured in the clashes one of them later died yes some more targo work for

a local t.v. production company gaza health officials said he was shot while filming close to the border and died later in hospital and this photo you can see he was wearing a jacket marked press the israeli military said it only fired at those that called instigators of the violence a spokesperson for the idea of posted on twitter saying rioters attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices in an attempted terrorist attack fourteen of the fifteen members of the un security council did back a call for an independent investigation into all the deaths caused by israel's use of live ammunition during the protests it was blocked by one nation the united states we discussed the issue with a human rights activist from palestine and then export from israel. nordic or that mentioned that there was fire from the palestinian side there was a few who could cross the fences to hang the palestinian flag on the fence and or

leave and the audit there were only throwing stones or burning them the border every day is raids on things 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 were 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 to what attacks against islam and and what and. doing the thinking. and one of the largest local broadcasting corporations in the us is facing a backlash over a promotional out 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 excerpts unfortunately for some reason to believe there's nothing. you can't control. everything and this is really dangerous george marcy. that was a sinclair group which is known for its conservative start centers almost two hundred stations across america and reaches about forty percent of all u.s. households that watercourse the claims the projects are no political agenda however the initiative itself has drawn anger across the mainstream media critics are saying the message supports donald trump's claims that. popular sporting fake news surprisingly perhaps the us president was quick to jump into the spot to defend the sinclair group his tweet their own social media. news organizations what to say and

do so should we have heard before as explained 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 mind. spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcast with anchors and correspondents forced to read a pre-prepared scripts 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 the 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 cons and joyce is protecting them. on all platforms well and it's 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 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 be our greatest responsibility is to serve or 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 a political neutral nonpartisan yet professional black. females should wear yellow gold magenta sign devoid red blue or purple because everyone knows that

magenta is the color that gives you and your bias away apart from these promo think they're 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 but after the break the what helmets accuse the syrian government of carrying out a chemical attack in the rebel duma declaration comes off to ninety percent of us think it was liberated by government forces will have more of that story just in a few moments. we tried to deconstruct all these manipulated by cuts in these showing the world that islam is a religion any 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 be a member of secular societies it is possible. but

holds if. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be preached. to the right to be press this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. first. welcome back to the weekly here on r.t. international russia's defense ministry has strongly denied reports of

a chemical attack in syria's rebel occupied town of doomer saying it's ready to send chemical protection experts to prove its force earlier the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets accuse the government of the attack claiming it killed dozens following the unconfirmed reports the u.s. has already called on the syrian government and its backers including russia to be held accountable now the allegations of a chemical attack come a syrian forces take back in ninety percent of the eastern ghouta enclave which was occupied for years by multiple rebel and terror groups thousands of civilians have returned to their homes in the liberated parts of eastern guta a move made possible under a deal between the syrian government and the groups that used to occupy the area while the agreement has showed divisions rather within some of the militant groups many have backed the deal which provided a safe passage up for them and their families. and our money and the factors leading to the deal want to go between russia turkey and iran on syria the latest

meeting between the leaders of the countries on wednesday the russian president cited intelligence reports showing alleged attempts by some groups that destabilized the peace process with possible false flag attacks involving a chemical agent. really you are doing 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. all three leaders have once again confirmed their commitment to preserving syria's territorial integrity each of the countries has its own views on how the situation in syria should be handled particularly the turkish leader has reaffirmed his stance against the u.s. providing support for the kurdish fighters in the north and that some of

conflicting reports from washington over whether america is planning on pulling out of the country. it doesn't seem at this stage the u.s. 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 the u.s. made military equipment stationed there a reporter spoke to kurdish fighters at the base here's what they had to say about the purpose of the set up. the base was established for the coalition a year ago to counter the turkish threat the americans are protecting the front so they will be ready if an assault happens. 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 nato 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 various reasons the kurds are being manipulated i think and we'll see how it plays so. the people in a district of paris claim their lives are being ruined by gangs of young migrants they say drugs thefts and fights on the streets make it dangerous to live there so out of the skis been speaking to some of the local residents. as you exit the metro in much of paris is. the first thing in groups of young men. locals claim they migrants mostly africa they say they formed gangs and generally wreak havoc theft is common and it's clear even the police this area it's

popular to take within minutes were offered advice from an officer of the government what. we see police stopping and searching that banks. the locals say that being terrorized by a group of around sixty juveniles migrants from morocco but because their teenagers the police rarely do anything more than give them a caution before go again. fighting between them like with knives sometimes the night when it gets down. like five six of them all have you know. looks like the god of the like the. do nothing it's like yeah you know it's like like you lady like you know it's. like you know and it would be. yeah
