2:02 pm
to be escalating at this point. what we've heard from u.s. president donald trump and he has condemned the alleged chemical attack furthermore when he was followed up with questions about military action he went on to say that nothing is off the table this was in of course response to questions about military action and as we can recall there was the incident over a year ago in which trump unleashed an attack of tomahawk cruise missiles against the syrian airbase in response to allegations about a chemical attack in eastern guta and now interestingly in his comments to ultram want to say if it's russia if it's syria if it's a rand if it's all together we'll figure it out he didn't seem to acknowledge the possibility that it could have been other forces and there is wide reporting that the extremist groups that want to bring down the syrian government terrorists like the al nusra front other groups have been using chemical weapons but these reports
2:03 pm
are not being investigated and not being considered i mean it seems like he's not consider the possibility that if this attack did indeed take place it could have been carried out by other forces in the country. and now furthermore we are seeing reports that at this point russia says that there is a group of chemical experts and medical doctors that are on the ground in duma the city where this attack to allegedly took place and they're not finding chemical traces and they're not finding people in hospitals who have been injured by these attacks so at this point we're hearing from foreign minister of russia surrogate allowed saying that they have real questions i can for about confirming the authenticity about what's being alleged this is russia's foreign minister. those are the newest the loser that you know it was this is it's of the scene of that's not go along with the requests and representatives of a great reputation by international humanitarian organizations didn't find any
2:04 pm
traces of korean gas or any other chemical substances. to do for them and. now at this point all eyes are on the u.n. security council the fifteen member body that leaves the united nations an emergency meeting has been called to discuss the allegations about these attacks now it's expected in this meeting that extreme statements allegations will be leveled against the syrian government the syrian president however at this point we have a report here where it's actually question what motive my colleague in this report actually points to the questions of what exactly would be the motive of the syrian government for carrying out a chemical attack at this point take a listen to this report. east ghouta is almost over ninety percent has been liberated by syria's government the army of islam nusra the al qaeda affiliate other mists they've lost opting to take the busses to rebel territories.
2:05 pm
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 contact helped put united states
2:06 pm
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. it's been a day of violence in western fronts they began outside nons for the now moving into the city itself. is the following this story for a show that springs up today was the latest.
2:07 pm
polling here in the city of nohant which is about thirty kilometers south of not too dumb to land where those clashes were taking place today is the police were going in and raise the ring the scientists whose instructions around a thousand people have come out tonight in solidarity with the saudis saying there aren't happy with how the government is proceeding with this they don't want the saudis to be expelled and they're very unhappy that we've also seen those clashes from today come back out onto the streets tonight there's been plenty of chill gas and people are saying they are incredibly angry people saying that they want the expel is to be expelled themselves take a look at what's happened throughout the day thirty kilometers north of here in not shut down to lunch. the. you. know.
2:08 pm
this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people were against that people moved into that and they took over they built a commune over many years many people say that this is now. 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 being 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 the sky was raining with tear gas here and a colleague's artie's video agency will caught up in that take us.
2:09 pm
because you. already feel like i don't want you to see well as you can see now the scientists have lit fire to one of these barricades the police are just about one 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 room. for a whole board room so 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 they just understand that one of the c.r.s.
2:10 pm
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 place but it didn't go so well. but as you can see behind us the sea org. yes 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 this world they are absolutely determined that they will move this zionist away from this camp we saw one lone 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
2:11 pm
of the sadness or the activists they can then bring the bulldozers in to get rid of these buildings this is sheer brute force by the state and it is ruling because the long clearing this site a site that's been occupied for many many years ziad could be over faster than many people thought it would be the clashes are still continuing the tear gas is still being sprayed. with media speculation over the script pearl case continuing it's being reported that now we're covering said again you are being offered new identities by u.s. intelligence but the family relative believes that you would in fact to return to moscow speaking to auntie's roughly video agency for tourist crip our stories of my personally to overrule britain's decision to deny her a visa. yep is that i ask the ok and you personally to reckon sitter the decision to refuse my these or they are scared that i will find out something more that
2:12 pm
you'll be able to 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 has sensationally branded the leader of the opposition to be the kremlin's useful idiot after labor party leader jeremy corbin refused to blame russia for the poisoning. it takes to 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
2:13 pm
diplomats as well from boris johnson the foreign secretary is only one thing that gives the kremlin soccer script ability to its propaganda. and that's when politicians from the targeted countries join in the efforts. driven to the conclusion. join 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 rest because jeremy corbyn has consistently all evidence of the government's assertion here that the kremlin is behind the attack against sergei and beauteous script how boris yeltsin has serious questions to ask the prime minister taken the necessary steps under the chemical weapons convention to make a formal request for evidence from the russian government as my resolution trace analysis been run on a sample of the nerve agent saying movies things has really got jeremy corbyn and
2:14 pm
whole war but these types of personal attacks against the labor leader here they aren't to everyone's taste a junior minister in four strong sons 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 doors 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 or price of moscow is propaganda campaign that this strategy of writing off anybody questioning the government's narrative as effectively treasonous as betraying the british government it appears to have been
2:15 pm
rather fruitful for the government here and fair to raise them a as prime minister personally because for the first time since the general election polls are showing that the reason may is more popular than jeremy corbin. britain's prime minister is linked to sunday's alleged chemical attack in syria with the poisoning of former spice scribal and his daughter in both cases blaming moscow the events in. the two are troubling wider pattern of acts of aggression and abuse of longstanding international norms on counter proliferation and the use of chemical weapons. in recent years russia's repeated vetoes at the un have enabled these rules to be broken and removed mechanisms that allow us to investigate and to hold to account chemical weapons attacks in syria. we saw a similar recklessness last month with the use of chemical weapons on the streets of seoul this week the u.k.'s case for holding russia responsible for the attempted
2:16 pm
murder of and usually a script is clear. ok let's bring in mike brown do you know he's the coeditor of the news website b s news. mike we're just. trying to link the script poisoning with the allegations of a chemical attack in syria do you think there's a link there. i think there's some kind of tenuous link that the signals are based in cyprus are trying to portray i think i made earlier today there was. some kind of communication intercepted between damascus and moscow the day before the alleged attack talking about the delivery has been made. i think the there alluding to the fact that that might be a delivery of some kind of nerve agent but again this is so vague. and so untrustworthy that i don't think we can give it much credence really and i think
2:17 pm
the same goes for the rush to judgment from the british prime minister and the foreign secretary in both cases whether it's in seoul bre or in syria. no one seems to be looking at any kind of motive or means and if we look at the means the motive of the syrian arab army the root there is no on if in fact they have a motive not to use chemical weapons because they know what would happen they know it would there would be military intervention on the part of the west so there's actually no reason to use it there's no military reason to use chemical weapons in syria at all however if we look at the terrorist groups like saddam they've already admitted in twenty sixteen that they've used chemical weapons other groups have been known to have possessed chemical weapons and as these groups are leaving the scooter and the duma in particular. journalists that are there on the ground including vanessa bailey they're actually seeing remnants of chemical weapons and chemical weapons laboratories that would be set up by the terrorist factions and
2:18 pm
these include gas canisters of chlorine so what's really strange about the do we case in fact is that some of the mainstream media in the west the washington post the new york times have actually put the cabbie aside to say the reports are unverifiable and obviously we know they're on very far because they're coming from partisan sources like the my elements even the foreign office and the state department in the u.s. has actually said the same thing the reports on. unverifiable but once again we have to take it on trust what they say is true and there's again a rush to judgment and possibly a rush to military action so it's really concerted disconcerting the way there are politicians are behaving in the way the media pundits are behaving in the western corporate media. now the short of this if you believe what you see according to recent opinion polls is that reason most popularity is actually increasing has been bolstered by the son team russia's stance the rhetoric she's come out with over the script case does that surprise you. no not really i think
2:19 pm
because of the effect only one hundred percent of the corporate media has gone board with the story again just like rocky weapons of mass destruction and very many in the public sort of get confused with political strength. and military jingoism and so by calling jeremy corbin a traitor and a kremlin. or a moscow media and then that's just playing into the hands of the media who likes or have an enemy about you know a bogeyman character. that doesn't mean the treason maze coming from of this nation of strength far from it i think that they're they're really scrambling i think them turn themselves into a hole that the can extricate themselves from now i think it's almost impossible for the british government actually come back from this despite what the evidence will reveal and i suspect that the evidence is going to show that it can't be linked to russia that the alleged nerve agent could have been made from any number
2:20 pm
of state actors or even private parties so there is no credible evidence here and there's no credible evidence in syria linking the alleged chemical weapons attack so the syrian government forces so there we have the similarities and whether there's an actual connection between the two the army of signals here in cyprus are trying to allege are not sure like appreciate your time i guess my grounding kilometer of b.s. nice thank you. now the british government's come under fire for giving money to palestinian schools so explain all after the break. from.
2:21 pm
2:22 pm
about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest just things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to him now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. and i
2:23 pm
still. don't. welcome back with rocketing crime right some widespread concerns of a corruption candidates budget ice presidential elections in mexico face an uphill battle to win over voters in the face of it all the struggle in the small indigenous town of children because it's banned all political parties paid a visit. to get in as. i have complete control over the cd our council is in charge of giving security to our community.
2:24 pm
that we are trying to keep the invaders out so they can take away with little is left of the forest that. has not existed started because of the incompetence of those in power especially of the kidnappings attacks an extortion and clearly over the issue of the devastation of the sacred source of life the forest. over the time and we start to say that we've done with policies with division that would speak for itself it divides the community a communal government without political policies without a city hall government with the cultural heritage of our ancestors established through dialogues around a bonfire. but both about the community became more united there was more affinity with our brothers than maybe it is.
2:25 pm
the u.k. government is facing criticism over giving palestinian schools around. twenty million pounds with some fearing that it will damage israeli palestinian relations is the education facilities you school books that allegedly promote martyrdom anti semitism and these are examples of the tasks received by children of a math class students must find the number of martyrs who died during two palestinian revolts against israel in physics a picture is used of a boy with a slingshot targeting soldiers u.k. government says that it is against all forms of violence and tries to have dialogue with both sides of the conflict to promote quote a positive portrayals of each other let's discuss this story now with my suit should jory who's the chair of the islamic human rights commission and with richard millet is a british blogger about events in israel gentlemen good evening to you both if i
2:26 pm
could start with you richard. the books teaching martyrdom could they influence the israeli palestine conflict. well yes of course it's a huge tragedy the hardworking british taxpayer is funding and subsidizing palestinian terrorism huge amounts of the money from the produce taxpayer unfortunately goes in to inciting violence against innocent israelis much of the funding not only funds this kind of examples that you just cited also if you kill an israeli or you go to prison in the you go to an israeli prison if you're palestinian in an israeli prison for trying to kill an israeli or killing one or all trying to kill one you'll see thirty thousand pounds a year far higher than the average wage in this country so if you're
2:27 pm
a palestinian terrorist you're on to a huge winner you just have to look at gaza all the funding in gaza. we see deaths of palestinians because hamas refuses to even build. an air raid shelter for its own people they built tunnels for themselves to smuggle weapons in they have no care or concern for their own people so the palestinians get angry they got no want to take it out on there's no democracy there's no elections. elections every fifteen years in other the west bank or in gaza and the poor downtrodden palestinians oppressed by the by their own by their own leaders and yes it is a tragedy that we in this country in u.k. taxpayers are funding palestinian terrorism and there cannot be peace while this is the situation must see some strong flames there and you know the critics say that
2:28 pm
this case encouraging anti semitism. in palestine what's your opinion. look richard's and his type which are mouthpieces for the illegal occupation of palestine a brutal legal occupation which in jails children it's actually puts them in cages it commits war crime according to the united nations it has even attacked a school run by united nation with phosphorus during the gaza operate it actually brutal and legal occupation and now he saying is trying to make us to believe that those who are occupied should not even defend themselves according to their right on their international law it is actually a right to resist illegal occupation and indeed it is their right and it's their right to teach their children the reality is that the brutality of the real over
2:29 pm
sort of supply israeli defense force is actually and its illegal occupation is creating the problem not the resistance of people against illegal occupation and if you are worried about our taxes money and indeed i am worried about that then you should just read our report that u.k. tournament's charity zine is supporting israeli sort of government and operation charity in u.k. is raising money getting tax exemption and is supplying equipment to the military and the israeli defense force this is actually illegal we have reported it to the charity commission but there are continued to do so there are videos on the web site and from the israeli defense force soldiers saying thank you very much for
2:30 pm
your contribution it allows us to shoot much better shoot whom shoot. this is the billion shooting children we have seen in the last few days how they or killing innocent people who are rising of the norm and actually standing. against illegal occupation it really is outrageous that the brutal occupation like israeli occupation of palestinian should be allowed to continue and then people arguing that people should not resist against it gentlemen i apologize at this point we've lost the picture with masood it's frozen so we're going to going to wrap things up here and if a question both to stay on the line we'll continue this conversation of farah since you can fix the visual problems and then we'll bring the highlights of the conversation to our guests later so we stay on the line for now though.
