all options are on the table is the only answer given by the white house press secretary to all questions on syria that's of the donald trump fired off a series of contradictory tweets first threatening russia bit late dialing back its pressure a. british media reports prime minister driesum ace preparing for action ordering the u.k. submarines within missile range of syria. another news arm and police vehicles have moved in to break up an eco camp in western france on a day of protests this is. with violence from activists. on london's metropolitan police released

a statement by the daughter of russian former spice a good script expose with her father to a nerve agent last month in it she says that she doesn't need the russian embassy nor does she want to get in touch with a relative at the time. you wonder where you are this is r.t. international my name's neil harvey great to have you with us. get ready russia that is the message sent out by u.s. president donald trump in a seven am tweet he promised quote nice and new and smart missiles would 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 joining the cold war treated trumps tweets as confirmation that a strike on syria was imminent but the white house spokesperson did little to

dispel the mystery of the scale or more pin explains. now the daily white house press briefing took place and sarah huckabee sanders the white house spokesperson came out and took questions from the press now in response to trump's tweets the press had quite a few questions they asked when where with this strike carried out this potential strike or unleashing a missile if they asked would russian positions be hit in syria as there are russian forces on the ground there with baby hit and a potential strike furthermore they asked the question what kind of missiles would be used and what kind of weapons would be used however every time a question was asked sarah huckabee sanders gave the same very vague answer take a listen to what she said 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 to say options on the table when it comes to russia as

diplomacy. that's an option as i said all options are on the table that's right all options on the table nothing clear being specified from the white house people were tuning in to the white house press briefing hoping that they could get a more clear picture of what was happening many are probably even more baffled now than they were before meanwhile we do have secretary of defense james mattis was come forward and said they are gathering information and indicated that something may be on the horizon some action may be looming this is james mattis we're still assessing the intelligence ourselves and our allies are still working on this and we stand ready to provide military option to their appropriate as the president determined whether now or the spokesperson for the u.s. state department indicated that the united states does not have a clear picture of what happened she seems to argue that there was indeed a chemical attack in duma but she couldn't specify what chemicals were used tuesday there was quite

a tense day of diplomatic deadlock at the united nations security council can. a resolution proposed by russia for how the opi c.w. would conduct the investigations was voted down vetoed by the united states a resolution proposed by the united states was also an able to pass vetoed by russia so at the u.n. security council no clear point of agreement could be reached and as the o.p.c. w. inspectors were on their way to syria no clear mission for what they would do if there was clarified at this point the o.p.c. w. inspectors have been offered the protection of the russian military as they go to syria to find out what's going on the russian military and in the russian resolution it was pushed that they actually visit the site of the alleged attack and find out the truth about what's going on however it's not clear what the o.p.c. w. will be doing as the u.n. security council could not reach a consensus on that matter at this point as we hear different voices from the usa we see one thing on trump's twitter page we hear all options on the table from the

white house we hear from the state department and the secretary of defense it becomes clear that it's possible there may not be a very clear strategy and that a lot of people are left guessing about what may be coming next which may be rushing to act now but in the past he was more spect back in two thousand and thirteen he was highly critical of the president barack obama's approach to syria saying bad things would happen if washington launched an attack instead emphasizing the u.s. needed to focus on its own problems it after entering office trump. syria is now seemingly gearing up for a second round but there may be domestic considerations to the u.s. president's change of tune. on the flag in fact 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 other nations and 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. and i ordered a target new jersey. airfield. 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 are speculating about the country's possible actions over syria highlighting that none of them seem ideal artie's course but i think it's donna looks into those 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 administration 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. meanwhile british media are reporting that reason may has ordered u.k. submarines operating in the mediterranean to move within firing range of syria it's also claimed an emergency cabinet meeting has been shed door for thursday afternoon we cannot independently confirm those reports but earlier in the day may said she believed assad was responsible for the duma attack artes and thier churkin 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 we

would. close his eyes to see how we can ensure those responsible are held to account and how we can prevent and 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 thirty in 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 who has said that parliament needs to be consulted we have seen the same message come from of 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 parliament 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 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 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 but ima put in a said foreign ambassadors have

a crucial role to play in the current quote chaotic times he made that comment to the welcoming ceremony for new envoys to moscow on wednesday to do stoop to look. into the world affairs 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. at least expert on the risk things the president wants to avoid hitting russian positions in syria. so this time there is pressure for trump to go ahead with an escalated response now with 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 i'm completely sure of but but would he go ahead for example and target somebody rainy and personal him syria likely israelis

did 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 trunk ministration not just to do something but to do something which was more than what he did last year when he launched those tomahawk missiles. you know police have used vehicles to demolish structures and an eco camp in western france. to be scattered to gain on wednesday night to try and prevent police from entering the site in the city of moments they clash with officers throwing stones and bottles your thirties responded with tear gas against the activists clashes have now been raging for three straight days.

oh oh . please. the daughter of poison spawn says she wants no contact with her family or russia at least according to u.k. police will bring the full story after this short break.

lemme warhawk telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle of. the new socks try to tell you that the beach gossip the tabloids but i fell for the farmer's. market about telling you the cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks got me along with all of what.

whole comeback london's metropolitan police have issued a statement by eunice cripple the daughter of a russian former spy surrogate script both of them were exposed to a nerve agent last month in the u.k. city of souls. as details. 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 visit or 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 you and she feels that the phone conversation she had with you wasn't genuine you have is a very 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 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're genuinely happy for you and wish her referred the recovery and rehabilitation meanwhile british surety is continue to refuse to provide any independently verifiable information about you liz 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. 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 script. a media company started by a palestinian journalist who was killed last week more covering protests of the israel gaza border has now received a grant from the us government artie's paulus lee has the details. well a palestinian journalist was killed last week during the clashes along the israel gaza border between israeli soldiers and palestinian protesters yeah so what was thirty eight 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 he was 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 the israeli defense minister had to say. this is a veteran terrorist of the hamas military wing he was a rank equivalent to a captain in a mouse he received a regular salary says twenty eleven 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 received 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 that it

according to u.s. government guidelines but i don't have anything more what kushal was shot last friday and died early on saturday morning he was buried later on saturday and at his funeral the harassed political leader ismail haniya spoke saying that he was a martyr and threatening as well that there would be a 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 what the sales to the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen despite the thousands of civilian casualties in the four year conflict. the you can flee since the start of the conflict in yemen france has adopted a very specific process whereby all seals 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 and the risk of harm to civilian populations france is one of the biggest arms exports to both riyadh and the united arab emirates who are fighting the duties in yemen most of northern yemen and the capital sana'a are under two thousand and twelve the u.n. calls the war the world's worst humanitarian crisis he said. that. to. cover a dent in the third. wave 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 you know 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 those arms because your ears 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 thanks for joining me this evening you are always welcome that's all from me but now do stick around if you can you be in the capable hands of my colleague sean thomas at the top of the.
