i. don't trump fires off a series of contradictory tweets first daring russia to try and shoot down american missiles over syria but then shortly afterwards calling for cooperation and an end to the arms race. that the states is threatening military action against damascus over an alleged chemical attack get a probe into that incident is yet to take place with an international fact finding mission not even due in syria till the end of the week. another news arm and police vehicles have moved in to break up a camp in western france that's on the third day of protests offices there with violence from activists. and london's metropolitan police release

a statement by the daughter of russian former spy. who were both exposed to a nerve agent last month in it she says she doesn't need the russian embassy to help will the she want to get in touch with a relative for the time being. very good evening to you my name's neil harvey this is our international. get ready russia that's the message sent out by u.s. president donald trump in a. tweet he promised quote nice and new and smart missiles will be fired at syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in doing that he also said relations with moscow are now even worse than during the cold war and spokesperson to be depressed scott pointed out the russia won't use twitter to

discuss such critical issues. and we do not do twitter diplomacy we support a serious approach we continue to believe that it is important not to take steps that could damage the already fragile situation. but we trace the two sides positions on syria in the last couple of days including the latest remarks from the u.s. defense chief. we're still assessing the intelligence ourselves and our allies are still working on this and we stand ready to provide military options for appropriate as the president determined at this point people are looking at twitter and seeing some kind of mixed messages and changing moods from donald trump within an hour he's basically threatening russia or urging them to just try and stop him and and such and then and then just shortly afterwards he's making tweets calling for good relations with russia so it's difficult to digest it's not exactly clear now this obviously did not start today let's recall the u.n.

security council what happened on tuesday where there was two resolutions put forward one from russia one from the usa both of them vetoed the two the the two countries could not agree and the u.n. security council could not come to a resolution about the o.p.c. w. allegations about chemical weapons in syria let's take a listen to what went on yesterday at the u.n. security council the tuesday meeting. clearly explained somebody wanted this alleged chemical it's not cause unnecessary for the massacres especially full most . books on today they vetoed for the sixth time a resolution condemning assad for chemical weapons attacks on his own people the removal you have already applied to guilt in such cases bush in the room. to support the text it would be like. and identifying that and doing nothing to put it to. colleagues the real investigation

the o.p.c. w. is on its way to syria trying to get to the bottom of this now russia has repeatedly emphasized that they want the chemical experts from the o.p.c. w. to actually visit the site where the alleged chemical attack took place and it's been even asked by russian officials if this talk. a bombing would essentially hinder the work of the opi c.w. and could in effect conceal any evidence that could be gathered from the site now we also have an interesting statement from the u.s. state department had there nauert who represents the u.s. state department spokesperson she has said that the usa doesn't exactly know what went on there that now we do know that some sort of a substance was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was what used furthermore we've heard from the russian defense ministry and they say that

they have sent their chemical experts to the site in dilma and that they just don't see the evidence that that attack even took place this is the russian ministry of defense hurt you but you're. off to the influence russian experts the road to the site of the alleged chemical attack who took food samples. which showed there were no poison the substances the sea medical institution show helmets footage me the story is confirmed any victims or use of poisonous substance is now at this point u.s. fleets are on their way to the middle east and the world is holding its breath wondering what will happen next and how much restraint various world powers will be able to show as tensions are clearly escalating trump may be rushing to act now but it was doorways like this back in two thousand and thirteen he was highly critical of then president barack obama's approach on syria so the bad things will happen if washington launches an attack but after becoming president trump dropped

tomahawk missiles on syria and is now seemingly gearing up for more action and his one possible reason for such a change of tune. but he ran the flag effect and increased popular support of the president during war accompanied by reduced criticism of governmental policies. any nuclear missile launched from cuba against any nation in the western hemisphere as an attack by the soviet union on the united states. progress is now being made towards the restoration of peace in the caribbean. the use of terrorism and its. political to me. to continue along with. the resolution of the crisis.

i have therefore directed to reject the iraqi army from kuwait. is president i can report to the nation aggression is defeated the war is over. american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger. united states and around. have prevailed. and i ordered a target. field in syria. i think. became president of the united states i think this was actually a big moment. in the wake of president trump's fiery rhetoric u.s.

media been speculating about the country's possible actions over syria highlighting that none of them seem ideal auntie's course but i think it's donna looks at the options. it used to be all options are on the table for syria well now it seems that this donald trump promise of fire and fury has all but taken a diplomatic resolution off that list from the looks of a trump who doesn't have many doors left open to him anymore but one of them is actually the one he's already tried the same time last year a parallel situation an allegation of a chemical attack blamed on president assad's forces without even waiting for an investigation trump goes in with guns blazing.

back then the u.s. president gave the russians an early warning so that its troops could leave the area hawks in washington ripped from for it saying this is exactly why the airstrike turned out to be a waste of time a nother potential option for trump this time is to go full on forget the warnings forget all caution and just unleashing a unilateral military campaign where could that go wrong well where shall we start it would force russia to consider its own military options evoking memories of the one thousand nine hundred sixty two cuban missile crisis when washington and moscow almost started a nuclear war reports suggest america's closest allies might not be even in on this finally trump could backtrack on the threat and take more of a co-operative stance like the one indicated by his second to eat buy some say this

would be as good as committing reputational suicide for trump this would be you not simply reversing on a promise but also getting soft on russia as the critics would put it after all trump sold ready being called out over of numerous major inconsistency is in his syria approach. fifteen months and the trumpet ministration has no serious strategy threats tweets one off strikes are not a strategy baiting russia is not a strategy this is why congress needs to reassert control over war powers so whatever action he chooses a strike or no strike trump may have just tweeted himself into something of a corner donald trump is trying to drum up support in europe for his push to strike syria the senators here churkin air has details. we do know that british prime minister theresa may has initially made it clear that she is not

a fan of any rushed action when it comes to this and that she would like to see proof of assad's involvement and this at this point seems to have shifted somewhat all the indications are that this was the responsibility of the syrian regime and we will now work with closest allies to see how we can ensure those responsible are held to account and how we can prevent deter the humanitarian catastrophe just the use of chemical weapons in the future because the continued use of chemical weapons cannot go unchallenged well here in westminster right now debate is right about whether or not parliament needs to be involved in this discussion with many m.p.'s saying that britain has been here before and they need to be able to vote on any major decisions like this of course let's keep in mind that westminster saw something similar when back in twenty thirteen the parliament did not go ahead with supporting a similar strike in syria along these lines and among those voices we've seen opposition labor party leader jeremy corbyn has said that parliament needs to be

consulted we have seen the same message come from the defense committee chairman who has said that parliament certainly needs to be consulted on these matters we've got in syria is a choice between monsters on the one hand and maniacs on the other while those are voices that are obviously calling for parliament's involvement on any major steps like military action on the other side we have people like former british prime minister tony blair who seems to be much more in favor of taking action instead of consulting harlem and despite having a reputation that was marred because of the iraq invasion let's take a listen to what he's been saying if you don't respond to this to the use of chemical weapons against civilians then obviously you know we're ignoring what the international community has said which is this is unacceptable and those that use such measures methods should be held to a. well that meanwhile across the channel in france we've been seeing

a man who had mark all of this of course coming following discussions between himself theresa may and donald trump he said that he believes that there should be a strong and joint response and that some kind of decision will be announced in the coming days however it's also not so simple in france with some opinions being different from his approach that everyone knows perfectly that in wartime the first victim is truth what happens on the ground is almost unknown to us the chemical attack which evidently took place is abominable we must condemn it but we still have to find out who committed it it sounds a lot like an excuse for the united states of america and their allies to get back in the game and to engage in an armed conflict i think that currently france is contributing to the creation of the recreate of a certain form of the cold war with russia it's pointless because it doesn't benefit france or its economy or international relations to let the u.s. seeking to stir up a conflict with russia moscow surround well so while france and britain are now

weighing their options in terms of exactly what they're going to be doing next but it's obviously clear that events are going to be unraveling quite quickly from here so we'll be watching what happens next. ok i'm joined now by political analysts and commentators shabbir sonali very good evening to you should bear the b.b.c. quoted an unnamed source who says that will give the go ahead to military operations against syria without looking for approval from parliament do you believe that claim to think it's likely. it's difficult to say because the force of your hearing right now we have somewhat of a psychopath in power so you can't really be too sure what the reason is doing however i think it would be a very bad idea to be so reckless to take such action especially given. a few years ago there was a similar. scenario and part of the push against it and there is currently no

actual tangible evidence of even any chemical attack having taken place in dubai let alone it being done by the syrian government we've just got some pictures from proven have a logical light is like the so-called white helmets which is real life and the whole world seems to be a lot going on from of course you've got me get alien everyone getting excited and saying oh my god get out of the show i said this on this on people the logic is against. syria having made any sort of chemical attack because for starters all of the. terrorists had left more or less left over that being kicked out of them so what what it cheap it would achieve nothing if syria is winning it doesn't need to even contemplate using this type of weaponry not to mention that a few years ago. the organization for the prevention of chemical warfare came along and decided to have a look and remove all of syria's chemical weapons so be told so this this constant

. alledging by the west is just. it's just noise because of course their proxy which is not. islam and various other quite a variance are on the back foot and syria with the help of russia and iran and hezbollah is prevailing and there is slowly cleansing syria from this cancer of theism so syria is has got the upper hand it doesn't need to use crazy weapons and the west who have invested so much through saudi arabia and its other allies in this deiced project of sour grapes and i want to start playing silly buggers the problem is that this time around if they do make any sort of adventure it won't be just syria they're attacking because russia has made it very clear that they know that us and stand for it. iran will stand for it and it just

strategically just makes no sense that that again we live in the era of trump where twitter is the is the foreign policy podium so you know again anything is possible really i want to ask you about this sky news poll xabi it because it pretty clearly indicates that there is many britons opposed to conflict in syria as all for it and there are many more opposed to it if it means getting drawn into any possible conflict with russia will that count for anything the will of the people in terms of a decision being made. well i really hope so but every time i say that i have visions of two thousand and three when we have to close a two million people much against the tony blair's adventure in iraq and for him not to have this adventure. but he was completely flagrant and he just ignored what the what the people of england were saying. however hopefully you know we live in a slightly more sane environment and you know we keep talking about democracy and

everything and maybe this time around we do have some sort of democratic rule of law get off in this process i hope that it doesn't make a difference the fact that it's a sky news that we should our equivalent of the comedy channel fox news. means and if that's that police saying more people are against having any sort of war in syria then that means that these people who are generally quite kroger or a worried because it's russia russia is not you know one of these in inverted commas small arab countries that can easily be blown to hell like syria or yemen you know that they feel the west feels that it can do that syria is not to be trifled with fareed is you know a bona fide a real superpower and i think you know england needs to realize that it is no longer a superpower it's just the old man of europe that's not even going to be in your very much longer. appreciate your time political analyst commentator should be

a house and i thank you. now the news police have used armored vehicles to demolish structures at an eco camp in western france. activists gathered again on wednesday to try and prevent police from entering the site near the city of nonstate clash with officers throwing stones and bottles authorities responded with tear gas against the activists clashes are now been raging for three straight days. thank. you i.

perked up. q q. her. london's metropolitan police have issued a statement by. the daughter of russia's former spy said gates script both exposed to a nerve agent last month in the u.k. city of salzburg live to our london office now and we can hear from the dirichlet in india take us through this statement and place. yeah i mean a number of things have been said in this statement and from the russian authorities perspective it is rather worrying and some key points here she has said

that she doesn't want to be contacted by the media she knows that she has the support of the russian embassy but she does not wish to have their help right now and also she doesn't want her cousin victoria to visitor now victoria has spoken out publicly and she's rather frustrated because she tried to get a british visa which was denied and she says that she wanted to visit yulia and she feels that the phone conversation she had with yulia wasn't genuine let's take a little look at what she said. europe is a very i ask the u.k. and you personally to reckon sitter the decision to refuse my these are their security that i will find out something more that yulia will tell me something yes they tried 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. the russian embassy in london have issued a statement as well they are genuinely happy for her recovery but they have concerns about this statement as well their concerns about the media reports and about the fact that they don't know where her where she is her whereabouts they have been reports that she's been offered an american identification and she and they're worried about that and they are concerned that she's isolated from the public we can have a longer look at what they said. we are genuinely happy for you and wish to refer the recovery and rehabilitation meanwhile british surety as continue to refuse to provide any independently verifiable information about you lose health and wishes we confirm our request and intention to meet her and see by ourselves if she is world and at the very least we demand urgent proof that all actions in relation to

you law are being taken in strict observance of her free will there are a number of points that the russian authorities are sticking to they are still asking for access to the investigation they are denying any involvement in the attacks on the script pals in fact they're upset for a number of reasons at the finish finger pointing the blaming of russia the definitive blaming of russia on this issue and phrases that they've heard like highly likely or no other part of possible explanation. they're finding frustrating they're saying that it's not enough and that doesn't provide enough evidence that russia is the indeed the definitive cause of the attack on the strip malls here today reporting for us from london thank you. in other news a media company started by a palestinian journalist killed last week while covering protests at the israel gaza border and received a grant from the u.s. government authorities paulus lee has a story. well

a palestinian journalist was killed last week during the clashes along the israel gaza border between israeli soldiers and palestinian protesters yes it was thirty years old he was a camera man and also the co-founder of a palestinian production company in gaza known as the palestinian media he was just a few hundred meters from the border. shot in the torso and it was very clear from the pictures we've seen that he was wearing a bullet proof jacket with the word press in blazoned across it we have subsequently heard from the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman that he was a member of a must which israel guards is a terrorist organization and therefore a legitimate target his colleagues of course deny this saying these claims are ridiculous but this is what israeli defense minister had to say. this is a veteran terrorist of the hamas military wing he was the rank equivalent to attempt to be received a regular salary says twenty those remarks from the defense minister confuse the

situation a little because we have heard from the israeli army that it does not intentionally target journalists at the same time it also contradicts statements that we receiving from the united states which provided him with a grant of nearly twelve thousand dollars now this is under a program that supports private sector development and wants to help his production company in gaza the u.s. state department does not deny the claims my understanding is that he was according to u.s. government guidelines but i don't have anything more more casual shot last friday and died early on saturday morning he was buried later on saturday and at his funeral the whole must political leader ismail haniya spoke saying that he was a martyr and quickly as well that there would be more martyrs who would rise up to take his place all of this comes amid growing tensions on the ground we expect that this friday yet again there will be clashes between israeli soldiers and

palestinian protests. danish footballing legend peter schmeichel has been getting a taste of russia ahead of the some us football will cup he's been traveling to each of the cities this time around to reports from. welcome to cosign arena this magnificent stadium has always seen china seek and confederation cup football and this summer it's going to be hosting six games in the world cup and one of them will feature a local hero. striker as moved from iran and he goes face to face with spades sergio ramos his son is a significant muslim city so for the ranch play and this pitch dissolve this
