in the stories that shaped the week the blame game over the poisoning of a former russian double agent in the u.k. generated more questions than answers british foreign secretary is being called to account for his anti russian accusations the british lab that tested the nerve agent said it was unable to identify. meanwhile doctors say both the former russian spy and his daughter no longer in a critical condition approached a close relative who's been refused a visa to visit them as written. they are scared that i will find something more. yes. but. i will fight to the effect i will go to. at least ten palestinians are killed after israeli forces used live

ammunition against demonstrators in gaza. and this is really dangerous drugs see one of the largest u.s. media groups comes under fire telling its t.v. presenters to read a script against. the welcome of the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to watch the weekly here and r.t. international war of accusations has been raging this week over the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter a british military. could not identify the source of the nerve agent used to load the government has consistently claimed there was a direct link to russia. has more. 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 and 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 that riposte experts who say the opposite of what you said our experts have precisely identified in their region as not be 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 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 down there. we 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 done or 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 doris keep doing what you do every day are you ready for the big break on. russian. russia. well there's also been a lot of criticism on twitter from britain's main opposition labor party over boris johnson's assurances that russia was behind the poisoning when asked the johnson

also wanted to delete that notorious german t.v. interview others stress the need to check the evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson said that johnson was downright dangerous and claimed the incident is being used as a diversionary tactic. it seems to me that 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. 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 while surrogates get powell and his daughter were found unconscious on a park bench in the city of seoul sprit on the fourth of march british or british officials later revealed the pair had been poisoned by the military grade nerve

agent named nabil chalk a type which was first developed in the soviet union at the time prime minister to resign may said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent may never recover between power and the niece of the former double agent as she's been trying to get to the u.k. to visit her relatives but her visa application was rejected she sent written a letter to the british prime minister. it just was going really well but now the whole world is stuck in 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 trix will prevent me from seeing my loved ones i ask the u.k. and you personally to reconsider their decision to diffuse my reason they are scared that i will find out something more that he will tell me something yes they try to manipulate 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. or some u.k. media outlets have suggested the application was blocked because the government she was being coached by the kremlin others claim the russian government is using to discredit pal as a pawn in a political game or victoria's secret if she was not surprised at having her visa request rejected she's questioned whether the british authorities have something to hide by preventing a relative from visiting in an exclusive interview to the agency victoria claims that in a phone conversation because a new year is being prompted. pachelbel 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. now in other news this week at least ten palestinians were killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday after thousands of protests to stage the massive anti

yorkie patient protest. when now maybe one hundred meters only far away from the fence you can see the crowd you can see the protesters flooded then the hundreds of thousands phylis in years have been here tensions are running high right now and the israeli army started to shoot random you are palestinians are getting injured why that ambulances are already here too pretty to take on the injuries that we're now to. hear it from days already i mean that by live. and i mean nation and it tear gas

canisters this is one of the injuries that was injured just right now from the outlet for book bullets and at the tear gas and there it's cross ambulances and. the medics are trying to save 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 did 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. well a wave of rallies began at the end of march with organizers claiming they will last for weeks during the past seven days more than twenty palestinians have been killed many more wounded during what is being called the great march returned several

journalists have been injured two in the clashes one of whom later died yes i'm a target here worked for a local t.v. production company garcia health officials said he was shot while filming close to the border and died in hospital and in this photo you can see that he was wearing a jacket marked press the israeli military said it only fired those it cooled instigate is of violence however a spokesperson for the i.d.f. posted on twitter saying riot is attempting to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices two in the tempted terrorist attack fourteen the fifteen members of the un security council meanwhile back to call for an independent investigation into all the deaths caused by israel's use of live ammunition during the garza protests it was blocked though by only one nation the united states we discussed the issue with an expert from palestine and with an expert from israel. no record that mentioned that there was fire from the palestinian side there was

a few who could cross the fences to have people within the flag on the fence and or leave the order they were on the throwing stones of burning wheels and the reward of every day is razor thin while 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 dollars and most of those who were killed last week will demolish them with people who are paid by hamas. to work for hummers as there always so what will they want to organize door attacks against israel and and what israel should. doing those things. that i want to feed are just local broadcasting corporations in the us is facing a backlash over

a promotional announcement warning against fake needs presenters on dozens of its channels were made to read at the exact same script in message. the sharing of biased and false moves here you can call to karl rove you. think it was easy oratory with extremists unfortunately some of them review the results of the solicitor. to control you and this is really dangerous for drugs or the sinclair group which is known for its conservative stance owns almost two hundred stations across america and reaches about forty percent of all the us the broadcaster claims the project served no political agenda however the initiative has drawn anger across the mainstream media with critics saying that the message is support donald trump's claims that some popular outlets are spreading fake you while the u.s.

president did step into the spat to defend the sing clegg group however telling news organizations what to say and do is an accusation we have heard before shouting booga 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 mind. spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcast with angers and correspondent 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 one of. 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 we just try to do your. stories 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 serve the 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. man

females should wear yellow gold magenta sign not to avoid direct blue power pole 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 now still to come for you here on the weekly people living in the district of paris to complain the area has become too dangerous to live in because of migrant gangs will have a look at that in detail just off the bright. lights of many clubs over the years so i know the guy even 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 superman each killing their own lives and spending two to twenty million life. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what more chance for. me it's going to. we try to deconstruct all these little if you let it die cut series showing the world that islam is a religion or any it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslim or to believe that the koran is the word of god less the same time and member of the secular societies it is possible. though again there russia's defense ministry has strongly denied claims the syrian

government was behind the chemical attack in syria's rebel occupied town of doomer saying it's ready to send chemical protection experts to prove otherwise reports about the attack came from a controversial anti-government activist group at the white helmets who are claiming it has killed dozens following the young confirmed reports the u.s. has already called on the syrian government and its backers including russia to be held accountable with the allegations of a chemical attack comes syrian forces have liberated ninety percent of eastern ghouta the enclave there which was occupied for years by multiple rebel and terror groups thousands of civilians returned to their homes in the liberated parts of eastern a move made possible under a deal between the syrian government and the groups that use to occupy the enclave while the agreement is divisions within some of the militant groups many backed the deal which provided a safe passage out for them and their families among the factors leading to the

deal with 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 showing attempts by some groups to destabilize the peace process with a possible false flag attacks involving a chemical agent will among the factors leading to the deal were negotiations between russia to see and around syria at least the latest meeting between the leaders. the countries on wednesday the russian president did cite intelligence to his wrist saying to destabilize the peace process with those possible attacks including involving a chemical agent. our 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.

ok let's discuss this now with professor michael bought crosses the head of the political science department as hell when university in egypt good afternoon tea thanks for coming on to r.t. what are your reactions to these claims then the syrian government has carried out this attack today given what we've just heard from president putin over the last few days that russia was expecting perhaps a false flag attack in this very area. by all means these allegations are false for a very simple reason now i have a landslide victory and regaining all the territories lost before why would the syrian regime commit a war crime there is no possible reason for this in addition there is an evidence that all the stores in the reclaimed territories were having several stores of chemical weapons controlled by the terrorists

a third evidence is that weeks ago the syrian government said there are lurks that the terrorists are planning for a chemical attack on the disputed territories just to undermine and put pressure on the syrian regime i mean by all means why should i as a rejean use this when i have to keep a low profile and not provoke the international community there is it's not logical it's not logical and it's still unconfirmed when you read the reports just looking at some reports in the western media they do stress it's unconfirmed but that said the u.s. state department has command said that russia with some wavering support for syria's government ultimately bears responsibility i was just wondering your reaction on that given that we don't know exactly what's happened at this stage and he's behind it. this one word extortion it's a blackmail it's

a blackmailing the. russian and the. syrian regime's now when i as an american regime trying to put pressure and extort the syrian regime and put pressure on these syrian excuse me and the russian. side not to support the syrian regime. just giving them the red alert not to do anything. now there is a little metaphor i have been thinking all over the syrian case it's like an aging collapsing body and there are vultures trying to get pieces and some organs of the feeling body now the turkey. headed by russia are trying to have. sykes use like speak or agreement.

the american side is another vulture trying to have a new kurdish state and you base syria now they are born fighting for the division of syria. this is the twenty first century site speak or again what you expect would be the media response them from the international community saying hey given the last chemical attack incomes you can saw those missiles fired from american vessels that the airbase in syria. what sort of reaction. now the uni polar system we are living through and the realism theory in political science tells us something when you are the sole superpower people tend to listen to you and believe you now when the superpower is trying to

falsify facts for its own national interests. and are mining one hundred jeem trying to divide and create a new state kurdish state new although. trump has denied the. united states is going to stay in syria now. we have conflicting reports that they are going to have new base american base this base is to support the launching of the current state dividing syria that's why there is a preemptive move from russia to get a new alliance of turkey and see iran turkey and iran ok ambitions. in syria or

a professor matter but going to have to leave it where we were at a time but i appreciate your insight into this that was professor ross head of political science department at how when university based in egypt thank you. hungary in so heading to the post to cast their ballots in a parliamentary election this sunday the current prime minister viktor orban has already cast his vote opinion polls predict that all bands conservative ruling party called freedom will grab the majority of the seats in the country's parliament we'll bring you all the latest from greece election throughout the day. people in the district of paris claim their lives are being ruined by gangs of young migrants they say that drugs thefts and fights on the streets make it dangerous to live there surely to be in ski has been speaking to some of the locals . as you exit the metro in much of paris is. the first thing you notice the groups of young men. locals claim them migrants
