well. the french city of nonces riot police break up an environmentalist. gas is used against protesters throwing rocks and fire bombs. i think. that. also to come both russia and the red crescent aid groups say that no traces of chemical agents have been found in the syrian city of duma that after western leaders condemned the syrian government for allegedly killing forty civilians with chlorine gas and form a double agent and his daughter are reportedly offered you identities by u.s. intelligence that is a relative of the believed that you would actually like to return home to russia.

so they are you watching r.t. international which just gone seven pm here in moscow our top story this hour it's been a day of violence not far from the city of non two fronts riot police moved in in the early hours of the morning to evict environmentalists who had been camped there for years injuries have been reported on both sides from the scene his shot at dubinsky. if you were little you you would be if you feel the. was this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people were

against that people moved into the land they took over they built a coal mine over many years many people say that this is now their family land they say from 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. of the government and the protesters the saddest who say that this is their land and they will do anything they can to defend it even throwing bottles they've been throwing fire at the place and the police have been responding in kind with tear gas at times it felt like the sky was raining with tear gas here and a colleague's artie's video agency will caught up in that take us. through because you. already feel very. well as you can see now the scientists have lit fire to one of these a barrier case the police are just about one hundred meters down in the distance

ready waiting for whether they going to charge forward and i just want you to just look around me and you can see all of the smoke and that is because it literally has been raining down with tear gas a inot to dumville and if you look behind me there's a fire pin that in the background it is incredibly difficult to breathe we keep being moved on by that gas is actually chlorine to my skin because it hurt so much . real room. for a whole board room to just. want to take you to have a look at this down this is one of the rocks that they've been throwing at the police and gendarmerie and there's understand that one of the c.r.s. offices has been injured by one of this project as has been taken to hospital one person who was attempting to throw a molotov cocktail at the police but it didn't go so well.

but as you can see behind us the c.r.s. and the police have come into another is that this point this is a point where. a couple of dozen people were trying to hold off as you can see the police are pushing the way they steer gas in the air already they've brought dogs in as well they are absolutely determined that they will move the saddest away from this camp we saw one my man with a placard saying no violence he was taken away by the police as he was trying to peacefully resist what's happening here what we can see is the police are now trying to push everybody away a tactic that we've seen earlier in the day whether utilized by getting rid of all of the sadness all the activists they can then bring the bulldozers in to get rid of these buildings this is sheer brute force by the state and he's working because they are clearing this site

a site that's been occupied for many many years sad could be over faster than many people thought it would be because she's also still continuing to tear gas is still being sprayed. reports and then now the u.s. will make a decision in response to the alleged chemical attack in syria within twenty four to forty eight hours according to president trump has just met with his cabinet this comes as russia though notes there has been no proof to back up claims that deadly substance was used in eastern gaiter those are going to. you know it was visited the scene of the one with the wreck russ and representatives of a great reputation by international humanitarian organizations didn't find any traces of korean gas or any other chemical substances. while israel has carried out an air strike meanwhile in syria's largest military base according to russia's defense ministry the attack has reportedly claimed the lives of at least

a dozen people there are also reports that iranian forces have been hit easily betraying care has more now on the latest developments. a number of really worrying updates from syria one after another and the month of april for a second year in a row could have put the world on the brink of a global conflict last year an alleged chemical attack immediately made donald trump fire tomahawk missiles at a syrian army airbase he didn't hesitate at all made the move without any investigation moscow and washington fell out massively over this so what happened this april again we had reports of chemical weapons being used by the government and the town of duma the siege by syrian troops trump was furious he called the sad and out of all on twitter the french leader emmanuel macron caught on by saying damascus won't get away with this and they pointed the finger at russia and iran to

president donald j. trump spoke today with president manu micro or from both leaders agree that the assad regime must be held accountable for its continued human rights abuses they agreed to exchange information on the nature of the attacks and coordinate a strong joint response the russian foreign minister has just called it a deliberate campaign against syria and his country. i'm sure you saw this video where people allegedly targets inside the chemical weapons were having over them but people with no chemical protection themselves this looks like the video is from a year ago from the one helmets ready proved to be untrustworthy those who work without any chemical protection in crates a bomb with gas and this was all yes' to launch a large scale syrian campaign and also rhetoric against russia same.

criminal regime. earlier moscow said anyone who decides to strike syria over this will face the most serious consequences this really took things to bow. oiling point then early on monday morning syria's largest air base was hit by a deadly airstrike but it wasn't the u.s. or france apparently israeli pilots pulled the trigger according to the russian army the timing could have really turned things upside down for everyone and just ahead of you on security council what the next steps of all sides are going to be as question number one most importantly will the likes of the u.s. and france push ahead with their military action plans again all of this is due to that cloying use allegations and duma with more insight into that here's my colleague mark gasnier east ghouta is almost over ninety percent has been

liberated by syria's government the army of islam nuestra al-qaeda affiliate other easily mists they've lost opting to take the busses to rebel territories. the vast majority of rebels surrendered and negotiations are underway for the handover of the last rebel stronghold on the cusp of victory as is now tradition

asaad guus against all reason and logic he's won this battle and launches chemical weapons at civilians according. it means the con to help put the united states continues to use all efforts available to hold those who use chemical weapons in syria and otherwise accountable to regimes 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 not aghasi of reporting there would have been emotional scenes as people who managed to escape to reunited with their families they've reportedly been held hostage for five years by

the militant group al islam they were taken to a sports center here where people in the stands cried as they try to find their loved ones. back in eastern guta rebels are continuing to leave that enclave for the last minutes and creep finally green to be evacuated to the north of the country. politics professor at northeastern university in the u.s. and an expert on terrorism and political violence says both the motives and sources behind the alleged attack raises serious questions. the key determinant for attacking civilians is weakness when governments are losing about all when it looks like regime change is imminent the structural conditions in this scenario are the opposite the assad regime has simply not secure in your words it makes absolutely no sense for your sorry human just for guys when all of the incentives go in the opposite direction that the rebels would like to hear this kind of an attack on the

regime i don't think that we should be. strictly i was still called all of these are the. first all readers if you will have a political agenda are independent evidence certainly needs to be gathered. now with media speculation over the scripts case continuing it's being reported that now recovering so again you are being offered new identities by u.s. intelligence however a family relative believes that yulia would in fact like to return to moscow speaking to r.t. agency victorious could have also asked reason may personally to overrule britain's decision to deny her a visa. europe is a very i ask the ok and you personally to reconcile with the decision to refuse my these are they are scared that i will find out something more that yulia will tell

me something yes they try to manipulate me not the kremlin m i five at first i was happy that yulia 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 at the start she was told yes you can talk which means that she was being guided. meanwhile british foreign secretary boris johnson a sensationally branded the leader of the opposition the kremlin's useful idiot that after labor party leader jeremy call been refused to blame russia for the poisoning artie's party boyko takes a look now at the consequences for corbin of not toeing the line. jeremy corbyn is one of the few people questioning all refusing to accept or to mattick leave that narrative from the government and he's getting a lot of criticism as a result and now jeremy corbyn has also come under fire from the u.k.'s top diplomats as well from boris johnson the foreign secretary is only one thing that gives the kremlin soccer

a full script ability to its propaganda. and that's when politicians from the targeted countries join in the effort. driven to the conclusion. joining this effort truly he's the crew useful idiot well boris johnson i'm really tearing into the labor leader in the strongest words possible and all this because jeremy corbyn has consistently all asked for evidence of the government's assertion that the kremlin is behind the attack against gay and beauteous script how boris johnson has serious questions to ask the prime minister taking the necessary steps under the chemical weapons convention to make a formal request for evidence from the russian government as resolution trace analysis been run on a sample of the nerve agent saying movies things has really got jeremy corbyn in the whole war but these types of personal attacks against the labor leader they

aren't to everyone's taste a junior minister in boris johnson's own department in the foreign office has said in an interview that getting personal about these issues isn't helpful at all now tell us will there be door slamming in the foreign office is is this the sort of language a foreign secretary should use despite the words and i would always try and play the ball not the man when it comes to these things i think about it is not helpful i think at all but right now the line here and it appears to be accepted almost unanimously is that. russia is to blame for what happened and any protestations of questions coming from the kremlin are all part of north korea's propaganda campaign that this strategy of writing off anybody questioning the government's narrative as effectively treasonous as betraying the british government appears to have been rather fruitful for the government and for two reason may as prime minister

personally because for the first time since the general election polls are showing that to reason may is more popular than jeremy called ben. on top of attacking cool been in his article johnson also made numerous claims that raise questions over their accuracy is our season this is the reports. boris johnson's been caught out a fair few times in his role as british foreign secretary sometimes doing the wrong thing at the time saying the wrong thing and this time his blunders have taken the form of the written word is after a series of unfortunate events at the u.k. foreign office having to delete the old tweets and post new ones boris johnson felt it was time to get the facts in the script straight once and for all. boris writes that britain's porton downs chemical weapons lab the tide densified the substance used have been developed by moscow well we remember the porton down interview slightly differently we have no verify 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 eat you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular nerve agent is but typically you will not tell you to look cool down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that. within the last decade russia has investigated ways of delivery nerve agents probably for assassination and this part of this program has produced and stockpiled small quantities of novacek hold your horses the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia actually the elimination of weapons that the last facility to hold such chemicals was in fact a knowledged by the international watchdog last year. boris writes that russia has an obvious motive for targeting sic a script oh well that appears this obvious motive has zero value russia knows the

double agent wasn't of any importance off to me having to be a is part of the spy swap. he was handed in to britain as a result of exchange so why should russia and even. that is of any importance or that is of any value it's unimaginable why not take the death of one spy to another that seems to be the fem favorite for boris the fates of alexander litvinenko murdered in london in two thousand and six demonstrates the kremlin's willingness to kill someone in this country the russian duma has actually passed a law that allows the assassination of extremists overseas first of all it's never been proved moscow was behind slipping in case death and secondly former spies are not exactly stream ists but to follow boris is logic the kremlin is simply willing to kill someone in person after listing these facts boris comes to the same old

conclusion that only the russian state has the means motive and the records to carry out this crime a lengthy and thorough investigation carried out by the best scotland yard detectives military and come to expect it oh wait now if by the man becoming rather notorious for his gaffes or restraint in the society there were chemical weapons expert james taught told that making such nerve agents is actually much easier than some people think given that the structure of the substance is already known. it is not possible to know where a nerve agent has been produced whether it's whether some one country or another it's not possible to to identify that to a certain country that there's many well published formulas of nerve agents and the structures are known and the toxicity profiles are known so so many people can make nerve agents they know what structures to go to go to work but the only way you could get the exact source is if the nerve agent were not very pure so if it were not very pure and you found at that particular site the same impurities

in the sample as you're finding it some other location then you could say there's a high probability it came from from that source but unless you've had samples like that it's hard and if if it's made by a nation state that knows what they're doing and the purity is there then you don't have any impurities to mark against it would be very hard to to name it to a specific location or particular laboratory so to come the general election in hungary is saying votes is back to old ban and the strong anti migrant stance for having the details on that just off the bat. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the page but how would you. grade the grid if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciated me just like the radio team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. that

hungry prime minister is celebrating a massive general election victory his ruling coalition secured a two thirds majority in parliament with a record turnout of almost seventy percent addressing supporters fix or band said the result now gives him the opportunity to defend his country. maiden name starts regarding the results so i can tell you j friends that it was a big battle and we've gained a decisive victory we've created the opportunity for ourselves to defend the country as a country hungary is still not where we would like it to be but it's already started along the path it shows for itself we're going to move together this way. strong stance on immigration is one support from anti establishment parties across europe but not from brussels officials who vote shortly on whether to strip budapest evaluating rights we discussed or bantry election and what it could mean

for the block with a hunger in m. pay and also a political analyst. orse majority of the. wards understanding what. was messy chained could. the opposition was very split it and the opposition of was not able to show all sure that it would be able to to all who are hungry properly migration as such were singled out as a single topic for this election it is quite sad to see no other issues can enter the agenda because we see the feedback from the population that this is the right way to go when i think. we will all be surprised. but down from this strategy i think you just want to push for it now and he's not going to be

scared off by perhaps increasing the pension between other western countries or other european countries that hungary i think is just going to push the strategy further. meanwhile with rocketing crime rates and widespread concern over corruption as well the candidates for july's presidential elections in mexico face an uphill battle to win over voters and they face an even harder struggle to you in a small town. because it's banned all political parties are saying paid a visit. sumit innocent so i have complete control over the cd our council is in charge of given security to our community.

but we are trying to keep the invaders out so they can take away what little is left of the forest. is not resistance started because of the incompetence of those in power especially of the kidnappings attacks next store should and clearly over the issue of the devastation of a sacred source of life the forest. over my time and we started to say that we had done with policies with division that would speak for itself it divides the community in a communal government without political policies without a city hall government with the cultural heritage of our ancestors established through dialogue around a ball on. my phone to say that the community became more united it was more affinity with our brothers that made this.

you watching us say thanks to company the saving up programs continue after the right. to. the slogans of the buddha of themselves. your local was before. much of those who heard the preview or never seen them with the north we will. move. move. move shoulders look beautiful the militants look. more muslim also

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. your attitude up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i cried so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you though. those that didn't like to question are. secretly promised to never be like itself one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this week to. the speech you just don't know whether to. claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

well. this is a pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now and this is pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now or no next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there and there we have we used to have

a beautiful view. now we have this to look at bring them a little bit of money. very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. going to happen. i. someday. you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i say it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes.
