palestinians are killed after israeli forces use live ammunition against demonstrators. hello there she's gone five pm here in moscow you watch and we can hear an r.t. international now a war of accusations has been raging this week over the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter a british military laboratory admitted it could not identify the source of the nerve agent new stall though the government has consistently said it came from russia. takes up the story before an office has deleted a tweet that it had initially posted on march twenty second and now this is by world leading experts at the defense science and technology laboratory at portadown made clear that this was a military great nerve agent produce. in russia now

a couple of days before that word johnson the u.k. foreign secretary also said that there is no doubt that russia was behind what happened you argue that their source of the chalk is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from the people from from port and they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt well it seems that all of that was going well until when the chief executive of porton down came out and said that not only were the scientists not able to prove that the nerve agent came from russia but generally speaking they didn't know what the source was 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 eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able look or down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that at the same

time the foreign office is saying everything is still the way it was and nothing is inconsistent with your basic what we're waiting for is that there is not starting we are rushing production. is the government going to accuse russia of. forcing of surrogates creep out is not an isolated case but the latest in a pattern of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians a russian russia russia russian russian tomorrow i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and some of the serious questions too about the claims on german television that this was a russian produced nerve agent and porton down then examined it and said all that to five was it's not true they couldn't say where it came from. but 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 if johnson actually wanted to delete that german t.v. interview to stress the need to check the evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and said it's clear pow the case was being used to divert attention. of 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. policy let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way the such huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence all the evidence well both the double agent and his daughter do appear to be making

a recovery back on march the fourth they were found unconscious in a park bench in the southern u.k. city of seoul spree british officials stated the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent called movie choke 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 when it became clear that both victims were getting better family relatives. attempted to get a u.k. visa to visit her relatives however her application was denied in the exclusive interview to artie's video agency ruptly turia added she's written me a letter asking for her visa to be approved. 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 they hope their credit tricks will prevent me from seeing my loved ones i ask the u.k. and you personally to reconsider their decision to diffuse 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. . however mainstream british media were quick to speculate over the visa denial some suggested the application was blocked because downing street feared she was being coached by the kremlin and being used as a pawn while in the same exclusive interview she notes that during a phone conversation with you it did appear that someone was actually prompting you what to say the talk took place the day before victoria applied for the visa or so or did you know us with us so you're not of one of those. not of i wish you could assure. you you. know all really good you just. want to get those. already on the

rule book you said the doctor told me in august the book is called all of you really. or meaning you're doing it to just really do i want to go to a yes no money and yes 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't hear it in the recording but there's a start she was told yes you can talk which meant that she was being guided. in other news today russia is the fence ministry has strongly denied claims the syrian government was behind the chemical attack in the rebel occupied town of doomer the ministry adds it's ready to send chemical experts to prove otherwise the reports about the attack came from the controversial anti-government activist group the white helmets who are claiming it's 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 the us president wasted no time to to unleash a barrage of accusations in a series of tweets donald trump pointed out that the area is encircled by the syrian army also accusing russia and iran of backing a sad he added that the attack was a humanitarian disaster for quote no reason whatsoever but this lack of motive is now prompting questions over who exactly is to blame is more aghast you have explained. east ghouta is almost over ninety percent has been liberated by syria's government the army of islam nuestra the al qaeda affiliates other mists they've lost opting to take the buses to rebel territories.

in. the vast majority of rebels surrendered and negotiations are underway for the handover of the last weddle stronghold on the cusp of victory as is now tradition assad goes against all reason and logic he's won this battle and launches chemical weapons at civilians according to his enemies he can't help it united states continues to use all efforts available to hold those who use chemical weapons in syria and otherwise a cannibal the regime's history of using chemical weapons against its own people is not in dispute. russia warned repeatedly that this may happen they had intelligence

a month ago that rebels were preparing to stage these attacks why not if they can't fight if they can't win why not try to provoke an international intervention it's worked before that is not to say we're jumping to conclusions by all means these allegations are false for a very simple reason now i have a landslide victory and regaining all the territories 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 it's not logical. the largest owner of t.v. stations in the us is facing a backlash at the moment over a promotional announcement warning against fake news presenters on dozens of its channels were made to read identical scripted messages. this sharing of biased and false moves here you can call to karl rove you. think it was easy recently ruled out extremists unfortunately the summer of review was

the secret. to control. for you and this is really dangerous for drugs you get the picture while the conservative leaning sinclair group owns almost two hundred stations across america reaching almost half of all u.s. households the broadcaster claims the project served no political agenda though adding that it doesn't understand the criticism however the initiative has drawn anger across mainstream media with critics warning that the move actually only strengthens fears that popular lets are actually spreading fake news while the us president stepped into the spot as well to defend this ng claire group however telling news organizations what to say and do is next ation that we have heard before shouting booga now 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 a lot of that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcast 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 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 called some choices. on all platforms well and its recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems our reading below is just sort of our treasure valley communities deal pass a loss christmas communities eastern i was communities with mission communities we are extremely proud of the quality balance journalism that c.b.s. news produces but. if you're the ones you 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 this responsibility is to serve the 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 nonpartizan yet professional black or charcoal suits from an females should wear yellow gold magenta sign not devoid red blue 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 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

a mind to by the look of it the reporting that will still to come here on the weekly hungary's heading to the post the day to elect a new president we'll have a look at who could win that just after the break. what politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present. something i want. you to do it for us this is what. three people are. interested in the why. question. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guys. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chimes for. the base this minute. welcome back now at least ten palestinians were killed by israeli gunfire on the gaza border on friday they came off the thousands of protesters staged a massive anti occupation 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 hundreds of thousands of palestinians have been here tensions are running high right now as the israeli army started to shoot randomly or palestinians are getting injured why that ambulances are already here to british take on the injuries that we're now the injured from days 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 from the outlet for booklets and at the tear gas and there it's crouched ambulance and on 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 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 israelis and there. was a local reporter him kaderi there was a wave of rallies began at the end of march with organizers claiming they will last for weeks during the past seven days though 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 these clashes one of whom later died yes i'm a target here worked for a local t.v.

production company garza health officials say that he was shot while filming close to the border and then died in hospital in this photo you can see that he was wearing his press jacket when the israeli military says it only fired at the music called instigators of the violence however a spokesperson for the i.d.f. posted on twitter saying that writers attempted to cross the security fence and set off explosive devices in the tempted terrorist attack meanwhile fourteen have the fifteen members of the un security council back to call for an independent investigation into all of the deaths caused by israel's use of live ammunition during the garza protests it was blocked by only one nation the united states we discussed the issue with an expert from palestine and also with an expert from israel. nordic or that mentioned that there was fire from the palestinian side there was a few who could cross the. polar theming flag on the phone through. the

order they were only throwing the thongs or burning of them the reward of every israelis of the. americans the inquiry commission to come to gaza doing with the gate of the killing of the twenty nine the will and the injuries have been here some of them were actually hamas fighters and bombers. and most of those who were killed last week well among them was 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 what is the. doing the us think it gives them. now today a hunger eons of voting in parliamentary elections with the ruling party widely tipped to clinch another majority thanks all bans feeding parties seeking a third consecutive term in power polls ahead of the vote we're suggesting his

right wing party will retain its teeth majority in parliament fits all ban has been in power since twenty ten and previously served as prime minister between one thousand nine hundred eighty and two thousand and two his hardline stance on the e.u. and immigration is created friction there within the bloc hungry oppose the use refugee resettlement scheme and all bans ministration is also passed a number of controversial laws a political expert told us a win in sunday's election is unlikely to ease tensions with brussels. if viktor orban in the future succeeds or the election is going to probably continue deer and immigration agenda and they're going to continue their conflicts with your opinion of course because a success means and problem and by the waters so there's going to be a probably more call for it through the european union but it could be also happened it's going to be a symptom for european leaders and they try to stop this order phenomenon before

before other countries would follow this example. people in a district of paris to claim that their lives are being ruined by gangs of young migrants they say that drugs there some fights on the streets are making it dangerous to live there she reports. as you exit the metro in much of paris is eighteenth out of the small the first thing in groups of young men. locals claim their migrants mostly through faffing they say they formed gangs and generally wreak havoc theft is common and it's clear even the police feed this area that's problematic within minutes were offered advice from an officer of the gulf of mexico for. the first long.
