this is r t international coming to live from the russian capital with me jacqueline boca welcome to the program protesters have been burning barricades while police have fired tear gas near the french city of nuns that's as a standoff by environmentalists continues for a second day officers have been trying to evict protesters from their camp and artie's charlotta been skiing was caught up in the action. you can see that we just had two gas fires into this campus trying to move this out demonstrators away and that's because just in the foreground but difficult to see behind some of the smoke are some of the structures that some people have been living in some protesters have been living on the site since two thousand and eight they say it's their land and they won't stay and we've been speaking to one young mother who's got a fifteen month old son who's been living here for seven years and this is what she

told us about her thoughts on losing her house which looks like it's next in line to be demolished i think i'm pushing away any kind of real emotional attachment to the buildings right now maybe a cry later bethany where all in this together and create crushing a building on those on the side especially in building on this that i think i cried just on the lawn i think i cried. for me it just means that we have less buildings for all of us together and that's the same i don't think i want to particularly attach a sentimental attachment to these buildings i happen to live in have a fifteen month old child who lives here as well and he's not here right now because. because there's some horrible people there and take as well the tear gas is continue to rain down here on day two and just behind me you can see that they're actually just soaring down a tree anything that they can do they're bringing doors in or anything they can do to barricade themselves in from the police to defend this land this land that they

say is that learn to defend. my. book. the team. was police are just about a hundred meters down in the distance and ready for waiting for whether they going to charge for the. gift.

of god 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 the sadness all the activists i was. where the protesters are so desperate to hold on to this ground there's one person behind me who's actually just grabbing at a small pebbles and mud to be able to fling that at the officers we actually saw some people flinging mud directly at officers yes they were just going to try and get a little bit closer don you might be able to see somebody there one of the saddest activists threw in projectiles this is bottles glass bottles plastic bottles as well as bricks towards the c.r.'s and there you can see where we're getting some things thrown back at them that would be some tear gas going off there don you can hear it's quite loud it's prey larry and that to a gas can reach really for all probably about one hundred fifty meters when it is

fired the police the c.r.'s have a lot of work to do if their aims to raise or this entire site is to take place it's unlikely it's going to be finished today because the ziad resistance is very strong but we know that the force of the police is also that around two and a half thousand are here and the government is determined this will be it once and for all the end of sant. doctors in salisbury have now confirmed that yulia screwball has been discharged from hospital following last month's nerve agent attack she's asked for media to respect her privacy meanwhile her father sergei is also on the mend but at a slower rate. we have now discharged from salisbury district hospital yulia has asked for privacy from the media and i want to reiterate her request her father has also made good progress on friday i announced that he was no longer in

a critical condition. although he's recovering more slowly than new year we hope that he too will be able to leave hospital in due course when the souls very hospital has issued a short statement confirming that us script al has indeed been discharged and stuff they said that this isn't the end of her treatment but it marks a significant milestone report suggests that she left last night that she's been taken to an undisclosed location where she can be safe from the media the foreign secretary boris johnson has tweeted saying congratulations that is wonderful that you out of hospital and his to have full and speedy recovery and there's already been reaction from the russian embassy here in the u.k. saying that we congratulate you on her recovery but we need urgent proof that what's being done to her is being done according to her own free will now the medical recovery that yulia scripts are and to

a lesser extent her father have made is being presented as nothing short of extraordinary given the severity of the nerve agent that they were said to have been exposed to five weeks ago. were found slumped on not park bench in seoul's glory and very soon afterwards the british government announced that they had been poisoned with a deadly nerve agent one that the government lab or a tree have gotten down to identified as the chalk and throughout the media scandal and the in searing diplomatic all out the medical gnosis for the script files was catastrophic grave many chemical weapons that were saying that they wouldn't survive and media reports in the first few days some of them even jumped the gun saying that the script had been murdered and when she pointed the finger of blame

the prime minister to reason may was also. pessimistic when talking about the script pal's condition sadly the last week doctors indicated that their condition is unlikely to change in the near future and they may never recover fully but despite the hospital releasing this statement saying that yes has been discharged the story here is already being spun in a take to the way it's being done and it will take in that direction again some of the media reports him now and keen to make one thing clear to paraphrase a b.b.c. report from this morning the idea that you have a going to make a full recovery is wrong they're going to be permanently damaged by what's been done to them the scriptures were said to have been exposed to a poison from the new class of nerve agents developed in the soviet union although it was never called by that name this group of poisons is said to cause permanent damage or death and is believed to be the most deadly set of substances of its kind

british foreign secretary boris johnson claims the government's porton down military law had managed to trace the agent back to russia something later denied by the labs chief. when i look at the evidence from the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt but typically you're not able look all down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that we spoke to earlier from the foundation for strategic research who believes this type of a nerve agent is extremely damaging. to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already very very toxic so a small amount should have killed creeped out for sure but what is still very. difficult to assess today is how the joke was delivered

to the victim so before we know exactly how the joke was delivered to the victim it's very difficult to assess the amount of the chemical agent that was in contact with the victims the screwball poisoning and the subsequent diplomatic fallout have given rise to a number of voices telling football fans to think twice before visiting russia for this summer's world cup however president says the action on the pitch and not what's happening off of it should remain the focus gianni infantile opened up to peter schmeichel the danish football legend who's got a new show right here on r.t. . it is no secret a lot of tension between the world and the world cup host nation. how how how are you dealing with i mean how are you sort of. coming in making this a best event in the world with all that's going on at the moment by focusing on football i think that's the key and that's the secret we have to focus on full but

i think there are enough. sadly people around the world to try to just. you know divide or argue or dispute or whatever we have to try to unite football is uniting some of the spin from western media is that it's not safe to go to russia you know security is not good enough don't go off scene you know in england they're basically saying to the fans don't go it's not safe. what what would you say to that is to say to go to russia of course it is safe to go to russia. for this and it will be very safe believe we'll even say for the world to russia during the world cup because the authorities in russia very much aware of what the world cup means and they want to show as well and welcoming country and preparations in terms of security for the world beyond. and the other.

event or any other situation so the conditions will be there for a very safe world cup and obviously those who want to enjoy football and enjoy a part of the summer they should go to russia those who want to go to have riots or whatever they buy the bottle almost exactly goes home with. fake and staged that is the verdict of russia's envoy to the u.n. over the latest alleged chemical attack in syria reports on saturday claimed dozens had died in the city of duma after chlorine gas was dropped on the area damascus says it's ready to accept independent chemical experts to prove or contest moscow's conclusions this was how russia's foreign minister has summarized the situation but

some folks from the right now we cannot confirm the use of chemical weapons we also want independent experts to give their assessment we've gone to the organization for the precipitation of chemical weapons experts to visit the sites and we will work hard to make this visit happen we cannot blindly believe in the results of investigations achieved from a distance. however russia's envoy failed to convince some security council members about what the u.s. said to be considering a tough response to the attack the u.s. president has even called off his trip to latin america to oversee the response with more on the latest security council session here's artie's. when the most powerful people in the world say things like you'll face the most serious consequences or there'll be a big price to pay what or who was meant to calm things down people in this room was there someone is blowing the liberation of duma from rebel fighters russian specialist was a specialist in radiological chemical and biological protection to collect evidence

and information in interviews non-single local president confirm the chemical to have been taken place bodies of people killed by chemical agents have not been found and chemical personnel and residents have no information about their potential areas therefore the use of sarin and chlorine has not been confirmed i could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers brothers and sisters toddlers and infant still in diapers all lying together dead who does this. only a monster justice aside from that the envoys to are speaking the language of threats something women then men who are from venus and mars but rather it's the teams from the opposite sides of the security council table looks like we shouldn't really expect any decisions being made together. to figure it out in the cordons

with its own mandate do one gain in the notion the beat of security and polled international low two for godsake ensure i'm a commitment but on doing basically gave the league asian and attribute responsibility. history will record the moment when the security council either discards to its duty or demonstrated honor and completely order to protect the people of syria. there were being armed well respond. staffan de mistura is if you haven't forgotten the un's men to sort out syria even the most obvious suggestion from a probe to send qualified people to inspect the alleged chemical attack site didn't help that's something the russian military has already done by the way they went

into duma went to hospitals spoke to locals know songs of a chlorine attack were found by them moscow says send an o. p. c. w. mission to the area right now the armies of russia and syria are promising to protect the un staff there. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which said it is ready to investigate this matter should immediately goes tomorrow go to damascus syrian troops along with bush and provide everything necessary to the business who allegedly chemicals surprisingly london did say it was a good idea not that as a result of the session we heard such a call being officially made in the meantime the official line coming out of the u.n. altogether is don't expect much from a. viewer so just as much in the dark is the rest of the relying on. you know where it was issued at this point to independently verify the

allegations well even if you and investigators end up and let's hope it's not too late the french president called for a firm response after discussing the chemical incident with donald trump late on monday well mainstream media outlets aren't holding back and giving advice to the leaders on just how to do that we spoke about the situation with former u.s. presidential candidate ron paul now chair of the institute for peace and prosperity . most of the time when a crime is committed in this country the stations when they're not sure they're careful they say this is allegedly but they never do this under these circumstances and they have zero bits of information it's over and over again they had to the person is guilty and that is the person is you know the russians and the syrians are guilty of a crime and it goes over and over again you know did at this cripples and then they finally had to give up here know that nothing came panned out so they had to go on to

a new one so it's one runs out of steam they create another fake news program. i think the least likely would because saad this whole idea saw and it's over and over again i probably heard it ten times today assad is gassing his own people and i've said it every time i haven't a son and then a month or two later they prove that was absolutely wrong so i cannot see any reason why assad would do this there's no reason for a russian have done this there's somebody who wants to serve up trouble and the people who want to stay there. a video emerges apparently showing israeli troops chairing the shooting of a palestinian protester we'll bring you more details on that story and more after a short break. a plate for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball

isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the fun of school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the shape of money. spend spend be true to the twenty million like. it's an experience like you'll smell something because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful. great so well chance for. peace it's going to.

thank you welcome back to the program the israeli military has launched an investigation after soldiers apparently filmed themselves cheering a sniper who had shot a palestinian approaching the gaza border security fence. the boat. designer wrote. in with the words of one of the richest of them did. well. on the right. and i go there hold the little i do the. more they do because. we can now bring in our correspondent paula slayer for more details paula could you tell us more about the incident. well what you say and should be here and see in

this video is that he's ready to face forces snipers shooting near the israel gaza border now in the beginning you hear his command instructing him and then you hear the soldier saying that he can't shoot because there's barbed wire and near the fence after a few moments you didn't get the come on this saying not to shoot to hold fire the fire is a child and then if it may take you to smite has to stuff in between themselves who's focused on who's been there is a single shot and you see this palestinian fall to the ground off to being shot in the leg and you see the crowds converge on him now the israeli army has released a statement in response to requests for comment they say that the issue is under review they say that this happened several months ago and that it was a small part of what was a much bigger protest that happened that day the israel gaza border fence in which it says its soldiers had stones thrown at them and

a number of palestinians try to breach the border fence but these radio army says that it has identified the soldier to quote it is reviewing the case it is investigating the case and those responsible will be disciplined and not the point that the army makes is that the cheering and the swearing that you hear in the video is not cause. castle of the code of conduct of the idea not naturally this story has caused a bit of a few and here in israel there were a number of israeli politicians who have commented and who have stated that the soldiers should not be judged this is a person they argue who is on the battlefield and to strace and as such particularly because he's defending israel's borders you cannot pass judgment but if you hear in a very concrete point if you coming from the head of the arab joint list who says that the sniper must be brought to trial now this video surfaces more than a week after protests have been happening along the israel gaza border and according to the palestinian health ministry those protests have made some fifty

people killed the palestinians argue that the protests are nonviolent and at the same time they civilian lives but the israeli side is arguing that the protests are a cover for what you see state should be these soldiers being fired at with molotov cocktails explosive devices and people trying to reach the border fence between israel and gaza hamas has admitted to mass of course being the ruling party in gaza has admitted that among those who have been killed in the past more than a week of violence are some of its members. parties policy reporting live from jerusalem thank you for that update. our young boy was among thirty palestinians who died in the protest recently he was shot by israeli soldiers the boy's family held a memorial on monday when he would have celebrated his fourteenth birthday. russia's currency the ruble went into a nosedive early on tuesday it suffered its biggest single day fall in more than

two years the currency plunge comes hot on the heels of sharp falls in moscow stocks on monday firms including russia's biggest aluminum producer recital lost almost half their value it follows new u.s. sanctions imposed on friday against russian business magnets and their companies we spoke to several financial experts who think the negative impact of the restrictions is likely to be temporary. the level of stress in the financial system is still free to moderate and to people in play in the past few years the quantum in the national system has adopted to the huge geopolitical situation and that is why it we expect to lease a lot of volatility to be a relatively small clique even today we do see some restoration the most negative things that disappear in the in the currency exchange trade but even these to hold the trends and i'll craik spread the movable range phillips who

recalled. in the coming months trina was sanctions out for a net negative for the quantum in what we think this angel is might make it even more risky to take it though from abroad so in this regard sanctions my limits domestic capital flight by limit domestic them on the floor methods if it was a current so much as it might result in a bit higher inflation but you know there are flourishing those things it's historic low close to two percent so would you call this to myself to bring it close to the top of the four percent which still would be a blue so substantial alou label of inflation for the russian economy that's a wrap up of today's top headlines this hour but i'll be back in about thirty minutes with another update and you can always head to our website are to dot com for more details on all of today's stories.
