well. all options are on the table is the only answer given by the white house press secretary to war questions on syria donald trump fires off a series of contradictory tweets first threatening and then conciliatory towards russia. and british media reports prime minister reason may is preparing for action ordering the u.k. submarines within range of syria. another news arm and police vehicles have moved in to break up an eco camp in western france on what was the third straight day of protest offices be met with violence from activists. london's metropolitan police release

a statement by the daughter of a russian former spy surrogate script power exposed with her father to nerve agent last month in it she says she doesn't need the russian embassies help nor does she want to get in touch with their relative for the time being. very good evening to you my name is neil harvey this is r.t. international. get ready russia that was the message sent out by u.s. president donald trump in a seven am tweets he promised quote nice and new and smart missiles would be fired at syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in duma he also said relations with moscow are now even worse than they were during the cold war some treated trumps tweets as confirmation that a strike on syria was imminent but the white house spokesperson did little to

dispel the mystery articles from the killer morgan joins me live on the line now from new york. take is through then as it become any clearer what we can expect from the u.s. next. well sarah huckabee sanders convened the daily white house press briefing and because donald trump started out the day with those rather inflammatory tweets that made reference to nice and new and smart missiles telling russia to quote get ready the press corps that was in the room pressed sarah huckabee sanders about what exactly these tweets meant did this mean that an attack on russia was eminent and furthermore didn't this kind of violate some of what trump said about not giving away military actions of before they took place there were a lot of pressing questions from the press corps that sarah huckabee sanders representing the white house did not really give very clear answers let's take a listen to how it went. but maintaining that we have

a number of options and once again all options are on the table he has a number of other options as well the president has not laid out a timetable and still leaving a number of other options as you say options on the table when it comes to russia as diplomacy. as an option and as i said all options are on the table now other than specifying that the white house has all options on the table and that they have plenty of options to use no clear answer about what was actually intended by the tweet or about what is actually intended regarding syria or russia was it was stated at this point it remains up in the air many people were watching the white house press briefing which takes place every day hoping they can get some clarity on what was happening now those people are probably more baffled than they were before many thanks for bringing us up today to of course what is new york killed him open. donald trump may be rushing to act at the moment but it wasn't

always like this back in two thousand and thirteen he was highly critical of then president barack obama's approach on syria saying 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 here's one possible reason for that 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 holding hostages. political to me.

to continue along with. the resolution of the crisis. i have therefore directed to reject the iraqi army from kuwait. its 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. the united states and around. have prevailed. but i ordered a target new jersey. airfield. i

think. became president of the united states i think this was actually a big moment. well in the wake of president trump's fiery rhetoric u.s. major been speculating about the country's possible actions over syria highlighting that none of them are really ideal correspond i think is done if 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 of 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 meanwhile british media is reporting that reserve may has ordered u.k.

submarines operating in the mediterranean to move within firing range of syria so also claimed an emergency cabinet meeting has been shelled jeweled for thursday afternoon we cannot independently confirm those reports but earlier today may said she believed assad was responsible for the duma attack with details is artes and is the theater. 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 our 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 rife

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 thirty in the parliament did not go ahead with supporting a similar strike in syria along these lines and along those voices we've seen opposition labor party leader jeremy corbyn who 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 and meanwhile across the channel in france we've been seeing a man who will 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 so 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 boss around also 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. with him or putin has said that foreign ambassadors have a crucial role to play in the current quote chaotic times he made that comment at a welcoming ceremony for new envoys to moscow on wednesday do stupid. invokes nothing but concerns the situation in the world is becoming more chaotic

nevertheless we still hope the common sense will eventually proverbial and international relations will enter a constructive course the entire world system will become more stable and predictable middle east expert early risk thinks that president trump wants to avoid hitting russian positions in syria. so this time there is pressure for trump to go ahead with an escalated response now a will he go ahead and do that and risk war i'm not sure i think that trump is very intent on not doing anything which would cause the loss of lives of russian soldiers in syria that is something completely sure of that but would he go ahead for example and target somebody rainy and personal in syria likely israelis that just a couple of days ago that's a possible scenario of some attacks maybe in damascus some. sensitive locations and that's also something which is possible as i said to the juice of the pressures which are piling up on the problem instruction not just to do something but to do

something which was more than a world with what he did last year when he launched those tomahawk missiles. police have used armored vehicles to demolish structures at an eco camp in western france . thank us. thank us activists gathered again on wednesday to try and prevent police from entering the site near the city of long's they clashed with officers throwing stones and ball teams feel sorties responded with tear gas against the activists clashes have now been raging for three straight days. her thank. you thank us to. her. house

was her oh god i took her work was her. thanks. to. london's metropolitan police have issued a statement by you live script the daughter of russian former spy sergei scripts both were exposed to a nerve agent last month in the u.k. city of souls on the day. things have been said in this statement and from the russian authorities perspective it is rather worrying and some key point

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 visit her now victoria has spoken out publicly and she's run the frustration 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 you have is a very i ask the u.k. and you personally to reckon sitter the decision to refuse my these or they are scared 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. now 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 you refer the recovery and rehabilitation meanwhile british your thirty's 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 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 piles in fact they're upset for a number of reasons at the 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 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. a media company started by a palestinian journalist killed last week while covering protests that the israel gaza border has received a grant from the u.s. government on these paulus lee has the 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 emblazoned across it we have subsequently heard from the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman that he was a member of her 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 how much military wing he was the rank equivalent to a captain in he 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 was shot last friday and died early on saturday morning he was buried later on saturday and at his funeral the hamas political leader ismail haniya spoke saying that he was a martyr and quickly as well that there would be one hundred thousand 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 protesters. french president emanuel micron has defended weapons sales through the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen that despite thousands of civilian casualties in the for your conflict. you can flee

since the start of the conflict in yemen france has adopted a very specific process whereby all sales of military equipment are analyzed on a case by case basis and on the basis of reinforced criteria that reflect respect for international humanitarian law the risk of harm to civilian populations in france is one of the biggest arms exports to both riyadh and the united arab emirates who are fighting the who these in yemen most of northern yemen and the capital sana'a are under hooting and trolled the u.n. calls this war the world's worst humanitarian crisis. that.

it's covered underneath the. way of money. that's where it is because in all honesty france is in there working with the united states and the united kingdom you know as far as as long as the money is made. you know they will keep this war alive for as long as it takes and it's already taken three years and this is the fourth year now and there is no end to it and they know it is an unwinnable war. and they do know that in spite of all these countries bombing yemen left right and center they have never been able to break the will of the yemeni people and they're still going to supply of those arms because saudi arabia is ready to buy them so you know we're going to support them until the well runs dry and then we'll look at something else after that. amazon has filed
