world leading 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 now a couple of days before that boris 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 pfieffer say source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that

identifies for the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able at all 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 or you're the one thing we're going on there is the stuff and we are rushing production. is the government going to accused russia. of surrogates free power is not an isolated case but the latest in a pack of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians a russian russia russia russia russia tomorrow i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and some serious questions about the claims on german television that this was. russian produced a nerve agent and porton down then examined it and said all that into five was

8:05 pm
doubt it said it was without doubt that the agents had to come from russia so i think jeremy called them was absolutely right to caution to ask for clear evidence before we start to raise international tensions but we need to get to the bottom in the evidence and jeremy said this seem to point towards russia but 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 and all the evidence. or both the former double agent and his daughter appears to be recovering on march the fourth they were found unconscious on a park bench in the southern english city of salzburg and as we heard british officials stated the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent called novacek developed in the soviet union and the time prime minister to resign may said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent may never fully recover when it became clear the scope hours

8:12 pm
a supermajority in parliament why do you think people still support him after such a long time in power. i think it has been proved that orbán is a very talented politician and the in the oak or station in the circle of the opposition no such talented politician no such qualities should such a gift that or by heads. have ever. it should be noted that or biden has a. very catastrophic talent very talented talented speaker or you know and that has extraction to many people in hungary this is the first of all us and the second reason is the time at. the orientation of the fetus campaign. only main issue was the migration
8:13 pm
policy and telling the truth was majority of the people was understanding what the fetus campaign was messy change and the corner of the message that immigration must be stopped and it was be no allowed to enter for. migrants to enter the hungary and territory that was the fetus messaging and the third main point i think that has a big media after how an edge then that the opposition party don't have and this is also that was also very happy for the fall feeders that the state media was very hard supporting feeder sporty save and. several private t.v.
8:14 pm
channel centers radio channels were also supporting feeders and many newspaper. especially law and. further ovaries and i playing that. opposition was very split it and position of was not to show big sure that it would be eight to two who were hungry crow coralie and the people just couldn't believe. that the opposition would be a bird to two hundred go the full back to future well i mean some comprehensive stuff that let's just look at one more point that obama is known as you said for his tough stance on immigration that was the key point and the second largest party your become mean they're even more extreme and looking at their votes as well i
8:15 pm

8:16 pm
he or eats easily. more talented to pull hungary and this is very important point because if the opposition saw pleated the opposition was split at in several of five six parties and it is very hard to all who are little. their opposition in hungary by turning the. idea of reason was that. the most opposition parties didn't have enough money in our media to stand up. against it as power is also a very important to point to understand why so many. there are in twenty or forty years that have understood and senate table political
8:17 pm
analyst in budapest thank you very much indeed thank you. thank you now there's been a deadly unrest on the israel gaza border this week more after the break. the law. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich

judgment. of you and this is really dangerous to our democracy well the pro conservative sinclair group owns almost two hundred stations across america reaching almost half of all u.s. households the broadcaster claims the project serves no political agenda and they don't understand the criticism yet the initiative has prompted anger across the mainstream media and critics will move only strengthens fears the popular artists are spreading fake news when the us president stepped into the spot to defend the sing play group however telling news organizations want to say and do is an accusation with her before jacqueline boger 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 putting. well stop my mind.
8:20 pm
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 constant joyce's protecting them. on all platforms well and its recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems our readers are misrata libya is just sort of our treasure valley communities deal passed 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. if you're the ones you sort of you know are
8:21 pm
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 on 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 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 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. at least ten
