according to his enemies he contact helped put the 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 lost before why would the syrian regime commit a war crime there is no possible reason for this in addition there is an evidence
12:06 am
that all the stores in the reclaim 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 logic. well clashes have erupted outside the french city of known place and now using crowd control weapons to break up and environmentalist squatters camp.
12:07 am
well meanwhile we're now getting the live pictures as we can see from mons in france where shortly we have to hear from our correspondent charlotte due bensky what's really happening there as we have. protests which effectively is a group that were originally set up so that they could have a protest against a local airport that was meant to be built there the government has now relented but it's the commune the people in the commune who are now in protests and now we can transfer to wrack correspondent. who is life at the scene so hi there charlotte can you tell us more about what's been going on. well that's exactly what's
12:08 am
happened here is that this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people are against that people moved into the land they took over they built a commune over many years many people say that this is now their family land they they farm here and they want to protect it the government said they had to be out by the end of the winter they were given until last week to leave they've been given an extra week's grace and what's happening now is this is the battle between the police the c.r.s. or the government and the protesters the saddest who say that this is their land and they will do anything they can to defend it will you join me in a very wet and muddy field and it's a little bit difficult to see but all around us we have the police who have basically created a perimeter you might be able to see lights in the distance and you can see what looks like quite. shadows but this is the c.r.s. who are ready and waiting and at times what we've been experiencing is like
12:09 am
a shadow world of tear gas raining down as they're trying to push the protesters away from this field the protesters who are in the distance you might see a thin green light the protesters a sort of putting that to which the police almost as a tactic to annoy them there's a large group of people and they say that they will do anything they can to defend . it with fires we understand that barricaded themselves in in fact when we arrived here at about four am this morning local time the police had already blocked off most of the major roads not letting through people and in fact we had to come through a couple of fields to get here to to see exactly what's going on it's a standoff at the moment we're hearing occasionally the police saying advance dancing a few steps firing off tear gas that's. the saddest for a few moments but then again they come back at the moment it's a standoff between the two this that they say they'll do anything they can to
12:10 am
protect this land and the government well it wants them out. to take a shower it is very near the action there in. now a storm of accusations has been raging this week over the poisoning of former russian double agent said ok script test or to you earlier a british military lab admitted it was unable to pinpoint the source of the nerve agent involved but that doesn't stop the british government from pointing the finger at moscow as artie's anastasio explains the foreign 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 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
12:11 am
find that out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from 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 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 to 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 typically 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
12:12 am
you heard what they were going on there is the bad stuff and we are rushing production. as the government point for accused russia. of surrogates of people is not right. case but belief has to be made of reckless behavior by the russian state the russian the russians the russian russia russia russia russia i'm afraid be able to working with it is russia and boris johnson a serious questions so he claimed on german television this was a russian produced nerve agent port and then examined it say to five or six it's not true you couldn't say where it came from. well aside from leader jeremy corbyn members of his opposition labor party also criticised boris johnson's assurances that russia was behind the poisoning one m.p.
12:13 am
suggested the foreign secretary should try to delete that interview he gave to german t.v. others stressed the need to check the evidence labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and said the script case was being used to deflect attention from the government's problems 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 the 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 economic policy and you know at the end of the day it's pretty clear that boris johnson did not tell the truth he told the german incivil. scientists that said it was without doubt that the agents had to come from russia so i think germany called it was absolutely right to caution to ask for clear evidence
12:14 am
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 is huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence and all the evidence. well both the former double agent and his daughter appear to be recovering on march the fourth they were found unconscious on a park bench in the southern english city of seoul spree as we heard british officials stated the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent called love a child developed in the soviet union well at the time prime minister to reason may said those subjected to such a powerful nerve agent may never fully recover when it became clear the script hours were getting better family relative victorious cripple attempted to get a u.k. visa to visit her family members but her application was denied victoria says she has written to you to reason may asking for her visa to be approved. just we're really good at that now the whole world is talking about going with. the heart of
12:15 am
the scam know the real you know who together all the documents missing from their implications and i hope it's not your credit tricks will prevent me from seeing my love or not it's usually when i ask the u.k. and you personally to reconsider the decision to use my voice when you are scared that i will find out something more that you will tell me something yes try to me point in you not the crime one but my five i will fight to the end if i fail here or i will go to the. hungary's prime minister viktor orban has led a rally in budapest after an overwhelming victory in sunday's general election he gave a speech hailing what he called a crucial result and vowed to defend the country with almost all the votes counted the ruling coalition has one hundred thirty three seats in parliament giving them a two thirds majority the largest opposition force will be the right wing anti
12:16 am
immigration no weak party with twenty six seats while it was a disappointing night for the socialists winning just twenty seats well victor all one has been impasses twenty ten and previously served as prime minister between one nine hundred ninety eight and two thousand and two his hardline stance on migrants entering the new has caused friction with other member states andree has refused to accept e.u. quotas for taking in refugees organ's government has also passed controversial laws on the judiciary and the media political analysts attilla to board maggie told us why voters support the agenda of the ruling fidesz party. telling the truth the wars majority of the congo people wars and do a stand big what defeat this campaign was messy chained and decor no ulterior message is that their immigration must be stopped and it towards be not allowed for migrants to enter or to hungary and territory that was the fetus
12:17 am
messaging of course i expect for new tensions between grass that utopia uni on and hungary and government because or by has already said. leadership of the your european union on wanted two or even plumb and you will measure us on immigrations polisi in death's. door who she's of the hunger the i got them and. the biggest owner of television stations in the us has facing a backlash over a promotional announcement warning against fake news presenters on dozens of its channels were made to read identical scripted messages the sharing of biased and false news has become common to common article to be more common.
12:18 am
was easy to do with first unfortunately receiving the. line you can't control. everything and this is really dangerous to our democracy. the pro conservative sinclair group owns almost two hundred stations across america reaching almost half of all u.s. households the broadcast acclaims the projects the no political agenda and they do not understand the criticism yet the initiative has prompted anger across the mainstream media and critics will the move only strengthens fears the popular rockets are spreading fake news well the us president stepped into the spot to defend the same player group however telling news organizations what to say and do is an accusation that we've heard before is ati's jacqueline's 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 on.
12:19 am
a very spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcast with angers one 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 protecting them. on all platforms well and it's recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems our readers misrata libya is just sort of our treasure valley communities deal passed a loss christmas communities eastern i was communities with mission communities we're extremely proud of the quality balance journalism that c.b.s. news produces but we just think your. stories are
12:20 am
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 be our greatest responsibility is to serve all 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 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
12:21 am
