a relative of the screwballs believes that yulia would like to return home to russia. this is r.t. to national great to have you with us the last states will make a decision in response to the alleged chemical attack in syria within twenty four to forty eight hours that's according to president trump who's just met with his cabinet. we are studying that situation extremely closely we are meeting with our military and everybody else there and will be making some major decisions over the next twenty four to forty eight hours on this issue with his office people as that nothing's off the table nothing's of the result of the. comic speaking out to our correspondent caleb moore pin use in the united states for

a scale of this standoff over this ellipse chemical incident certainly heating up now. yes now we heard it u.s. president donald trump condemning the alleged chemical attack and then from there when he was asked if the united states was considering military action his response was to say that nothing is off the table now this is quite shocking to many people as folks remember how over a year ago there was a tomahawk cruise missile attack against a syrian airbase watched by donald trump in response to allegations about a chemical attack being taking place in eastern guta in response to that donald trump launched an attack on the syrian government's air base now in his comments it's also interesting to note that donald trump said quote if it's russia if it's syria if it's a red if it's all together we'll figure it out so he seems to not be acknowledging

the possibility that it could have been anyone other than those three countries that were is was responsible for a chemical attack if it took place this is despite the fact that overwhelmingly many times it has been documented that the various extremist factions that are trying to overthrow the syrian government the al nasra front other terrorist in extremist groups have been using chemical weapons throughout the war throughout the war they have done so truck doesn't seem to be acknowledging that even as a possibility it's assumed that if an alleged chemical attack did take place that one of these three countries must be to blame or all of them together and that that's quite disturbing to some people furthermore we are hearing reports from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying that on the ground they do not have even confirmation that this attack took place this is certainly a lab or off. who goes you. know it was this is it's at the scene of but it's not go along with the red cross as much sense to have

a great reputation by international human rights in organizations. any traces of chlorine gas or chemical substances. now a u.n. security council meeting has been called to discuss the issue of chemical weapons in syria and allegations about this chemical attack now at this point all eyes are on the un security council people are wondering what will take place there people are also very nervous about how this situation could escalate and you know there are observers around the world who are saying that it just wouldn't make sense for the syrian government to carry out this attack and this would not be something that would be in the syrian government's interest this is some of the reports on on what exactly is going on and kind of a objective look at the situation in syria and the allegations about this chemical attack. east ghouta is almost over ninety

percent has been liberated by syria's government the army of islam nusra affiliate in the mists they've lost opting to take the busses to rebel territories. the vast majority of rebels surrendered and negotiations are under way for the handover of the last weddle 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 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 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. thanks abrams 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 raise serious questions. the key determinant for attacking civilians is we care when governments are losing about all when it looks like regime change is imminent the structural conditions in this scenario are the exact opposite the assad regime has implemented secure. it makes absolutely no sense for the assad regime to jeopardize all of its 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 sort of white all of these are the. first thought readers if you will have a political agenda independent evidence certainly needs to be gathered. and there have been emotional scenes a speaker who managed to escape the city of duma have been reunited with the

families they've put it have been held hostage for five years by the militant group jaish al islam they were taken to a sports center were people in the stands cried as they tried to find their loved ones. back in eastern rebels are continuing to leave the enclave the last militant group finally agreed to be evacuated to the north of the country. in other news this been a day of violence not far from the city of nonce in france riot police moved in in the early hours of the morning to evict environmentalist who had been camped there for years injuries have been reported on both sides from the scene his shoulder devinsky. god. world if you will you will be if you will the.

god 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 coal mine of the many years many people say that this is now the 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 if in 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 this side of the sky was raining with tear gas here and our colleagues artie's video agency will caught up in that take us. inside. because you can. write it off your head or to see

what well as you can see now the scientists have lit fire to one of these a barrier case the police are just about a hundred meters down in the distance ready and 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 down the line and if you look behind me there's a fire up in that in the background it is incredibly difficult to breathe we keep being moved on by that gas is actually chlorine at my skin because it hurt so much . real growth. for you over growth so just. want to take you to have a look at this stamp this is one of the rocks that they've been throwing at the police and gendarmerie and there's this 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 moment of cocktail at the police but it didn't go squat so well. thank you. but as you can see behind us the c.r.s. and the police have come into another satisfied 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 his well they are absolutely determined that they will move the saddest away from this camp we saw one man with a package 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 where the utilized by getting rid of all of this artists 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 the log clearing this site a site that's been occupied for many many years the sad could be over faster than many people thought it would be because she's also still continuing to kill gas is still being sprayed. with media speculation over the script pearl case continuing it's been reported that there are recovering certain are being offered new identities by u.s. intelligence however a family relative believes that you would in fact like to return to moscow speaking to artie's ruptly video agency with tourist us three zero personally to overrule britain's decision to deny her a visa. you have is that i ask the u.k. 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 has been guided. in while british foreign secretary boris johnson has sensationally branded the leader of the opposition the kremlin's useful idiot after labor party leader jeremy corbyn refused to blame russia for the poisoning artie's political takes a look at the consequences for corbin of not toeing the line. jeremy corbyn is one of the few people questioning or refusing to accept or to magically that narrative from the government and he's getting a lot of criticism as a result and now jeremy called and 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 sucker script ability to its propaganda. and that's when

politicians from the targeted countries join in the effort. i'm driven to the conclusion. joining this effort truly he's the crew useful idiot boris johnson i'm really tearing into the labor leader in the strongest words possible and the list because jeremy corbyn has consistently all asked for evidence of the government's assertion that the kremlin is behind the attack against sergei 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 and the whole water 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. 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 but 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 here and for two reason may as prime minister

personally because for the first time since the general election polls are showing that a reason may is more popular than jeremy corbyn on top of the cool bit in these old school johnson also made numerous claims that raised questions over the sea he said he says 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 what 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 case straight once and for all. boris writes that britain's porton downs chemical weapons the thai 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 eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular and their future is 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 delivering 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 it appears this obvious motive has zero value russia knows the

double agent wasn't of any importance off to me having to be as part of the spy swap. he was handed in to britain as a result of exchange so why should russia and even. a man that is of any importance or that is of any value it's unimaginable why not make the death of one spy into another that seems to be the fem favorite from 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 slippin and case death and secondly form spies are not exactly stream it's but to follow boris is logic the kremlin is simply willing to kill someone in person often 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 and the investigation carried out by the best scotland yard detectives military and come to expect it awaits now if by the man becoming rather notorious for his gaffes boris johnson. now a general election in hungary sees voters but viktor orban of these strong anti migrant stunts will bring you the full story after this break.

when you don't. get a court to do. what they did not. specify. no trouble to see that. you speak french. hungary's 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 viktor orban said the result gives him the opportunity to defend his country. making them start regarding the results so i can tell you dear 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 it shows for itself we're going to move together this way. open strong stance on immigration is one support from anti establishment parties across europe but not from brussels officials who vote shortly on whether or not to strip budapest of its evoking rights to discuss the organs reelection and what it means for the block with the hunger in and pay and the political analyst. was majority of the. wards and standing right. there in course messy chained. good to. the opposition

was very nice delete 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 could enter the agenda because we see the feedback from the proclamation that this is the right way to go when i think. we would all be surprised if. would but down from destructive g. i think you just want to push it further and he's not going to be scared off by perhaps increasing the tension between other western countries or other european countries that hungary i think is just going to push their strategy further. with

rocketing crime rates and widespread concerns over corruption the candidates for july's presidential elections in mexico face an uphill battle to win over voters in the face an even harder struggle in the small indigenous town of to run that's because it's bound all political parties are t. paid a visit. sumit innocent. have complete control over the city 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. has not existed started because of the incompetence of those in power especially of

the kidnappings attacks next door 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've done with parties with division that would speak for itself as a device in the community a communal government without political policies without a city hall government with all the cultural heritage of our ancestors it established through dialogue around a ball fine. but both about the community became more united there was more affinity with our brothers than maybe it is. the vote with no use for you at the top of the hour see that.

the continuing saga how did three people in solitary survive contamination by a military grade nerve agent london has a lot of explaining to do also nikki haley goes off the rails again what exactly is a normal country. lemme warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace talks forcing you to fight the battles that don't look for new socks credit to tell you that somebody's gossip and tabloid bias files are the most important news today. about telling you are not cool enough and that to buy their product led. to all the hawks that we along with our audience loves watching the.

the two need to fill it with the little mist they say look it is it's. your stuff's not just justice to you it's the mashed old church i struck the president on please keep trying this project until. we have produced a ghost whisperer to snoop on what i'm doing because that is the cousin with you swear your supporters to your machine station insurance for you should cook door for one who is doing.

very very low just until there is good smaller rigs and the very many of them. like you. cannot call that racism then where you know nothing. welcome to. shevardnadze islam in europe has long been viewed with suspicion by the majority it is of not representing european values is that really true and can it be changed well i asked shereen han khan denmark's first female.

islam in europe is a magnet for controversy used by the right wing to start fear of feared by the people in the wake of their attacks and the refugee crisis extremists inside the muslim community resisting integration mistrust come to vicious circle of a hatred. is there a way to measure europe's ultimate liberalism and the ancient traditions of this land and how for the is the past me. share in hong kong denmark's first female in mom welcome it's really great to have you with us and very excited to ask you all the questions that i want now you call yourself an islamic center and it's being denmark's first female among do using a woman could ever lead a mixed mosque in prayer in islam not just female only and would you like that to happen actually i had the vision of a mosque with female humam so many years ago back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine i was inspired when i did my thesis in syria and surface i'm an islamic

activists and and back then i was i had visioned a mosque with female in my mom's leaving the prayer actually for both men and women because i always pray together men and women so it's very natural. i was always. i was always working against the segregation within different spheres so when i started the mosque we recruited it. other people for our team for the group and like any group like any community you have to vote and it's a democracy and the majority of the committee they voted for a women's mosque only so i had to accept that and i think now when i look back on the really happy about the decision because i realize that having a mosque with women or female in monthly at the prayer for only women it's not controversial at all so we're actually able to do.
