a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. off a double from a series of contradictory tweets threatening russia but they took toning down the white house spokeswoman who had a hard job to pin down the president's exact message our maintaining that we have a number of options and all of those options are still on the table what is needed certainly means i think there's a lot there that you can read from but at the same time the president has a number of options. and a statement through british police. she will refrain from media contacts and has refused help from the russian embassy and relatives at least for now we explore the facts behind the poisoning of the script in the u.k. if this was a variety of the movie. a single draw use enough to kill

ten people ten people within minutes. also the solace saudi crown prince mohammed bin sultan gets a warm welcome in france during his three day trip to paris with president. bush of the saudi to give him a chance. to welcome to the live from moscow for the latest global updates and. now as the u.s. and its allies mull strikes against syria tension between america and russia continues to grow so after president trump tweets that moscow should get ready white house spokesman later came out to clarify their exact position we're maintaining that we have a number of options and all of those options are still on the table what is certainly means i think there's

a lot there that you can read from but at the same time the president has a number of options he has a number of other options as well as other options options other options options and all those options remain on the table and once again the president has a number of options we're considering all of those options as you say options when it comes to russia certainly like i said a few times today all options are on the table trump promised a new and small missiles would be fired at syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in the city of duma within an hour of his first tweet president trump posted another message though this time calling for all nations to work together and disarmament looks into the an easy choice the u.s. president has. but all options are on the table for syria or 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 tramp who doesn't have many dollars 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 finally from could backtrack on the threat and take more of a co-operative stance like the one indicated by his second to eat by some say this would be as good as committing reputational suicide for trump this would be 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 the war powers. so whatever action he chooses a strike or no strike trump may have just tweeted himself into something of a corner of the conflicting signals from the american presidents have left many

people understandably confused. militarily i don't like to say where i'm going and what i'm doing. but get ready russia because they'll be coming and new smart. western trumpets also crebbin so get ready for serious missiles a military strike against syria is on a hot boil at the white house now he's put himself in a trap where he's gotten the liver on something he asked and deliver on his tough talk this is sending this sort of message clearly alerting all those forces in syria. a war declination over twitter. the perfect example of the impact of the diplomacy. with.

our relationship with russia is worse now than it has ever been and that includes the cold war there is no reason for this stop the arms race. then. put him in a diaper and spank him until he climbs down. and . much of the bad blood with russia was caused by the break and corrupt russia investigation headed up by the democrat loyalists people that were. just threaten to start a war with russia like twenty minutes ago and now you're blaming the bad blood with russia on the democrats.

trust twitter page grabs the. attention of the world but when trump tells russia to get ready for american missiles then calls for a stop to the arms race then blames the democrats for bad relations with moscow the world starts to get a little bit confused we decided to ask new yorkers what they think about the president's social media activity sht. short order do you think they came out in the bottom one first. top one sack in the middle one last actually it was that one was first of that moment second that was third russia vows say this is first mate you're correct that is the first one awesome ok oh i'm. second would be this much of the babbler. nope and so our relationship with russia is worse now and then much of the ok got it i'm thinking one two three reverse sort of actually it's one two three

if you were in russia you really in the russian foreign ministry how would you react to this what how would you interpret it i would take it very seriously united states is a strong nation and if something is perceived wrong it's going to be scrutinised and it does seem inconsistent really inconsistent it goes back and forth so you can't tell what he's thinking honestly i would say he might want to start war something if i was in russia i would say that usa donald trump is being tough it's a tough situation over there in syria right now but so far he has a lot of stone yet so i'm going i'm ok with it looking at trump's tweets it's not exactly clear where he stands but would lives hang in the balance and geo political tension on the rise there are probably lots of people out there who wish that donald trump could articulate things just a little more clearly mopp and r.t. new york i mean tom the u.k. prime minister to resign may house called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the country's response to the situation in syria and potentially greenlight an

attack against the mosque as well russia's president has expressed hope that common sense would prevail. you'll immediately to the world of invokes nothing but concerns the situation in the world is becoming more chaotic never the less we still hope the common sense will eventually prevail and international relations will ensue constructive course the entire world system will become more stable and predictable. tensions reached breaking point following claims by the controversial white helmets group of a chemical weapons attack on the militant controlled town of duma in syria russian experts have been to the area they say they found no evidence of a nerve agent attack taking place moscow has invited investigators to visit the scene the international chemical weapons watchdog is due to arrive there by the end of this week we spoke to some residents of the area the moment the duma i haven't seen any chemical weapons here i don't believe it because i haven't seen it. i

haven't seen anyone suffering from exposure to chemical weapons i haven't seen it and haven't even heard about it nothing at all. and we've got some expert opinion on america's possible strikes and trumps rhetoric on the syria crisis is going to be bombs or bombast that's what we don't know you know i've been waiting with bated breath like everybody else last night maybe tonight will he launch an attack or is he going to use this rhetoric as some kind of a means to set up a meeting with putin which he says he also wants to do and will he pull back at the last minute he's always said if you're going to do something militarily you don't talk about it you just do it but he's talking talking talking and weaving back and forth like this i am hoping it means something i hope it means he has something else in mind i think there will be some response and i think that response will be decided on thursday morning after the national security meeting and i think it's going to be probably more than somewhat wide and probably less than some would

expect. meanwhile syrian government forces have gained full control over the eastern ghouta on klav that's according to the russian military now syrian troops have raised the country's flag over the town of duma where the west alleges that a chemical weapons attack took place it was the final militant stronghold in that area. by rebels in twenty thirty and since then has been under siege by the syrian army most of the militants were earlier evacuated from a deal brokered by russia. and other news police in the u.k. have released a statement on behalf of u.s. crew powell both you and her father former double agent were poisoned in a british city of salzburg over a month ago she's since been released from hospital and is being kept at a secure location now you know says that she knows she has the support of the

russian embassy but she doesn't want their help right now she also asked her cousin victoria not to contact or. victoria earlier appeared on russian television saying she was denied a british visa to visit you and father in the meantime the chemical weapons watchdog in charge of the whole investigation has reportedly finished its probe into the salzburg incident it's forwarded its results to the british side on the o.p.c. w. rules the u.k. has to share that information with other members of the organization within twenty four hours examines what we know so far. there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible the juveniles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less than a movie chock sounds russian means russia did it establish that it is not

a chaka matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points made there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last few weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military specialists and hear their biggest gripes. the nuvi nerve agents a new she quit they haven't been so in decades here they are exerts from the books and studies available to the public neither the formula you know the chemicals any more russian then itself for years now researchers have published studies and theses on the nuvi chocks which there are dozens and dozens

of many developed in different countries there's just one good tool in twenty zero seven the us or the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity the author invited them under the system there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed that means someone somewhere synthesize them and shared the information since then these formulas or some of them have appeared in various publications constantly you simply cannot say they are secret. there's more to it if you suspect a potential adverse arena has made a new discovery you have to do the same in order to study the new substance and make antidotes it's true to say that russia is not the only country being able to sympathize a few grams of no beach up in the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on of each other because there were these rumors about

a new military chemical agent produced in russia so so i'm not surprised that in france in. in the united states you have this kind of information that could explain this speed in which the product was identified that's the purpose and that's the job of this kind of laboratories and there's a whole lot of nerve agents to go around with more being discovered undeclared nerve agents. and. and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's the exit to our chemical weapons potentially they must immediately according to the convention fragile it would be obviously w. but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals. and it really isn't as difficult as it may sound if it's really an overture we're

dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to said that you need serious expertise and substantial funding to make a pure nerve agent. and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the lab has to be well equipped with ventilation detoxification equipment and the chemists themselves have to be educated not every lead can sympathize this but there are twenty or so labs that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made new rich ox sales. britain's decision to classify almost every

aspect of what happened and the investigation is called the room and mill running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching their heads is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already a very very toxic so a small amount should have killed mr creep out for sure but again it's very difficult to assess and evaluate this kind of question before knowing exactly how the product was delivered the interesting thing with nobody chalks is that there are so many of them and they come in so many different forms they can come in a powered as solid as a crystal and even as a liquid but just to give you some reference if this was a variety of the nuvi chocks

a single drop is enough to kill ten people ten people within minutes if this was an inhaled even more units one and putting it within hail of symptoms that follows in minutes if it gets in the skin symptoms and can take from minutes to. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the dude's had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't match they simply missing a little of it when witnesses found them they said serug a scrip all was rocking back and forth waving his hands it seemed more like the effects of narcotics if it was a small dose as they claim then first would come meiosis then the rest of the symptoms convulsions uncontrolled urination but we didn't see that in photos or hear of it in reports there are many questions. if indeed this was

a new recherche nerve agent at work the script balls were very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here or else have a miracle cure of a no nerve agents there's no other explanation. i would guess the of reporting that almost all cases and all the headlines the saudi crown prince makes a friend in paris with president springing to his the fence i'll bring you more on that story after short break. strong pressure by the security company by the pentagon and by the media. donald trump to do something about it see you could probably at some stage she might get into this pressure but i don't think it is his intention what i consider more likely another u.s.

military attack on syria is that the united states' policy bill be to wreck any ethic by the russians to texans iranians to find a political solution. to put themselves on the line to get except the reject. so when you want to be president. want. to do like to be for us which is what the before you know more people. interested in the waters. there should. throughout the international crown prince mohammed bin solomon of saudi arabia has

been or a three day visit to paris and it seems like he's made quite an impression on the french president. critics of the saudi yet to give him a child shot at the reports. saudis a crown prince is being on a global charm offensive of the west for the past three days here in france it seems like it's being all hugs and handshakes from the hamad bin salman he's even joked about having asked special bond with the french president. that's despite the fact that bin selman is the leader of an absolute monarchy considered to be one of the world's most oppressive regimes yet on his visit to

france saudi arabia's new tourist reputation for human rights offenses seem to have been swept under the carpet. or your legitimate questions from civil society and from journalists about human rights and various sensitive issues concerning your country we have the choice to stick to our traditional positions and we can decide first acts of modernization of the society will be cosmetic as the prince was winded and dined to protest his struggle to draw attention to the saudi offensive in yemen and we have been calling on france to stop the use of these weapons and so all of this weapons and equipment. since two thousand and fifteen almost six thousand yemenis have perished in the war between the saudi led coalition and he few rebels more than nine thousand have been injured three million have fled their homes all not counted to address that is promised

a conference on yemen's humanitarian suffering and even then he took the time to reassure the saudi prince hugo yemen france has taken a clear. since the beginning of the conflict in this war it is obvious that we won't tolerate any ballistic activities that threaten saudi arabia and its citizens and matt korn made sure his guest didn't leave without some lucrative deals between french and saudi companies with some eighteen billion dollars the pair also discussed a strategic partnership with france and plans to create an opera france say in saudi arabia and that's the same situation we saw with other stops on bin salmond's big wooing the west tour in the us he finalized an arms deal with twelve and a half billion dollars in the u.k. humanitarian aid deal worth one hundred and forty million dollars was branded

britain's national disgrace by critics next on the agenda is spain where the prince is set to work his diplomatic cash field magic once again this time he's expected to beef up the saudi arabia's military might by buying warships and despite protesters calls for prince solomon to be given the cold shoulder it looks like those deep pockets are set to keep governments in the west on friendly terms with saudi arabia so. r.t. paris. now with the world cup in russia on the horizon most of all fans will be looking for fast and get here that's not exciting enough though for one objection who decided to turn his trip into a full scale adventure by cycling to russia. it's

been quite hard to plan this journey but we're trying to overcome belts ticals the many security issues visa struck who can settle everything before sets off hope to get over everything during the trip. that's the latest from myself on the team here at all t fold this hour so you know about thirty five minutes for more full updates on the global news headlines. because the swarms bluto them so moving. over local wars

before. much of those who heard it's a preview of the. scene we will. we will we'll. move. move. move show didn't look beautiful but maybe it's the glitter it would. just love most of these girls if you found her good good girl. there you go to show us a look but do you assume you will explore should go. to starbucks to get to meet until it was a little girl must say look it is it's. himself some understand just me and mashed all. mr president and please introduce more to them to.

those in your positions to listen to snoop to come up with new yorkers those the girls are with you for your support just to be sure as they should shouldn't be you should cook door for the one who's doing. this is says harlan kentucky. old news move the boys to go green street fanny's leave. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal i was assured that there was a lot of to see these people as survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger

that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that in it and it's how it's happened. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of dying time to sit down and talk. to our. darker.

hello and welcome to worlds apart while people in the west still question if the cold war is back for many in russia it's a foregone conclusion that the confrontation between east and west has not only resumed it's far more risky and that's kerrville is than it used to be the only question is whether mounting tensions could be managed without another major war breaking out to discuss that i'm now joined by gad member got the professor of political science at the university ensberg professor man god it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. thank you yes well now your country austria has been in to have a lot lately given the decision of its political leadership not to yield to the u.k. pressure and not to sound the russian diplomats over this crippled case i wonder if the if the question of who did it even matter do you think austria would stay true to its neutrality regardless of who they believe to be behind the poisoning well

actually i need to say that australia has shown solidarity if the united kingdom and if the other members of the european union when declaring the official british position that most likely a russian perpetrator has committed a crime but it has decided not to expel any diplomats and disposed. based on the decision not to further of aid to tensions between the european union and the russian federation not going down anymore on. down toward spiral to confrontation a new cold war but to try to do something different to keep up the dialogue of the russian federation despite what has happened in the united kingdom while you said that the last year was still taking the u.k. side but i heard a number of austrian officials publicly complain about the pressure on them how how submitted for example your foreign minister karen can they still.
