it's down to the o.p.c. w. to have the final say. the analysis is more consistent with the use of the poisonous substance be said none of these facts and nothing at all about be said was mentioned in the final report which was presented to its executive board we request that the a.p. c.w. explain why such information and the conclusion of the spears laboratory was emitted from the final report we said nerve agent is an incapacitating toxin developed by the us military back in the one nine hundred fifty s. it's harmful crystalline powder can cause confusion side problems and also disorientation and the thing is be there has never been manufactured in russia or indeed the soviet union that said the u.k. still was quick to blame russia for the attack maiming the novacek a nerve agent initially developed in the soviet union the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w confirmed those findings as well a few days ago where i guess the next takes

a closer look now at the allegations being leveled at russia 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 pundit's needed even less the name nuvi chalk sounds russian means russia did it establish that it is not a chalk and that 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 new rich nerve

agents a new she crit they haven't been so in decades here they are exerts from the books and studies available to the public neither the formula nor the chemical of any more russian than 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 inverted them on the system there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed 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 sympathise a few grams of no beach up in the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on me truck so i'm not surprised that in france in a new king in the united states you have this kind of information that could explain this speed in which the product was identified and there's a whole lot of nerve agents to go around with more being discovered undeclared nerve agents. in four months and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's that city a chemical weapons potential they must immediately according to the convention veges it with the o.p.c. w. but no country does so. and it really isn't as difficult as it

may sound if it's really a novacek we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent all the necessary components are easily available on the open market 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 it was a mere of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the love has to be well equipped with ventilation detoxification equipment every concern for such as this but there are twenty or thirty loves 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 as called the room and

mill running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists crashing their heads the interesting thing with nova 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 nova chucks a single drop is enough to kill ten people ten people within minutes if this was in the haled even more units one but as we've been hailed symptoms appear and follows in minutes if it gets on the skin symptoms and can take from minutes to hours. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the doods had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't match they

simply missing if indeed this was a new v chalk nerve agent at work the scripts were very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here or else have a miracle cure of a new nerve agents there's no other explanation. for the u.k. and russia head to head on a number of issues at the moment and it's having a knock on effect with high profile figures of the british royal family boycotting the twenty eighteen world cup and russia but that didn't deter a dedicated band of arsenal fans from travelling to moscow this week for a crucial european championship match after the break we'll meet up with one of them. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic

development only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with politicians to do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to press. you to go on to be the person this is like them before three of them or people. interested in the waters in the.

welcome back this week saw another wave of clashes between police and environmental activists near the french city of gnomes. tensions in the area have escalated since the deployment of thousands of police officers earlier in the week activists known as a distance of protested for a decade against the construction of an airport near the city some even build makeshift houses and moved in that sense plans for the airport were finally rejected in january police have been trying to forcibly evict them. from correspondent shoulder to bensky followed events as clashes came to a head at the beginning of the week. was no doubt that most of the. world those who want to kill you you would think if you feel.

this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people are against that people moved into the they took over they built a coal mine over many years many people say that this is now their family land they they farm here and they want to protect it the government said they had to be out by the end of the winter they were given until last week to leave they've been given an extra week's grace and what's happening now is this is the battle between the police the c.r.s. all the government and the protests is the saddest who say that this is their land and they will do anything they can to defend it if in throwing bottles they've been throwing fire at the place and the police have been responding in kind with tear gas at times it felt like the sky was raining with tear gas here and a colleague's artie's video agency will caught up in that take us on friday that i missed. the target because you. already are you ready for

a fury they want you to see well as you can see now the zionists have let fly to one of these a barrier case the police are just about a hundred meters down in the distance ready and waiting. for whether they going to charge for it and i just want you to just look around me and you can see all of the smoke and that is because it literally has been raining down with tear gas he in not to down the land if you look behind me there's a follow up in that in the background it is incredibly difficult to breathe we keep being moved on by that gas is actually chlorine to my skin because it hurt so much . for your growth. profile for growth to just want to take you to have a look at this down this is one of the rocks that they've been throwing at the police and gendarmerie and there's understand that one of the c.r.s. offices has been injured by one of this project as has been taken to hospital one person who is attempting to throw a mole

a tough cookie at the police but it didn't go squat so well. but as you can see behind us the c.r.s. and the police have come into another satisfied this is a point where. a couple of dozen people were trying to hold off as you can see the police pushing the way they steer gas in the air already they've brought dogs in his well there are absolutely determined that they will move the saddest away from this camp we saw one man with a package saying no violence he was taken away by the police as he was trying to peacefully resist what's happening here what we can see is the police are now trying to push everybody away a tactic that we've seen earlier in the day whether utilized by getting rid of all of the sadness or the activists they can then bring the bulldozers in to get rid of

these buildings this is sheer brute force by the state and it is working because they are clearing this site a site that's been occupied for many many years is sad could be over. faster than many people thought it would be the clashes are still continuing to tear gas is still being spread well here in the city of north which is about thirty kilometers south of not too dumb to land where those clashes were taking place today is the police were going in and raise the ring the saudis homes and structures and we've also seen those clashes from today come back out onto the streets tonight there's been plenty of to you gas and people are saying they are incredibly angry. the relations between the u.k. and russia might be at an all time low right now but that didn't stop british football fans from traveling to moscow for you a for europa league match on thursday ahead of the. game british media ran some threatening articles about what lay ahead for supporters are to be met with one

super fun to see if the headlines were true. just so my way to consider you a very prominent hostile fan going to be asking him when he travels to moscow does he have any fear is regarding the political tension between the u.k. and russia is he worried about things like hooliganism. follow him throughout history how do you feel charged in there in this context you know. in the noda there's been a lot going on between the governments waffling that's between the governments and i'm a person this is football we're going for football you know if you listen to people around you in the u.k. a lot some people are coming up to me and say robbie don't go there you'd be mad and i also have you been to russia and i say well no i haven't gone at all but i can i get advice of someone who has been there have also been concerns with regard to safety so for example hooliganism and also racism you know you've seen

fings about russia and things of happened in russia that's not going to be a problem in qana encouraged because of a lot received e-mails from groups over there in russia saying to me that lisa ruby snot nearly as bad as what it's made out to be. on the plane about to head out to russia. and we're looking forward to it. it's a place i never before. to a thousand also supports is come over to watch the game many of them have been advised by the foreign and commonwealth office as well saying they could be an uptake of anti british sentiment amongst some russians due to the heightened tension between the two countries at the moment well i mean mark you must go

already. and we're very worried about coming here for little things are actually so it's all right there's no tension between also. sponsors that the politicians get on with. you know we don't want to look around mosco ceremonies will be noisy he's gay male will be going through so he's already got a feeling that would he woke up so we could say we love the russia we love the russian people the friendship way that we create. on the relations yes and really get the politics the politicians i like it still going to life and i was a bit skeptical when i first called because of all that what was going on what not when you commit yourself and you see that is no purpose and haven't seen any.

sentiment of russia's been out moscow has been incredible it's just incredible city and everyone is friendly enough the russians are lovely i mean to say what happens between governments a lot happens between people are totally different but they had a good time maybe we'll see him again in a few weeks for the world cup right that's the way thanks very much for watching for me and often i see that. american sanctions would be damaging but i mean is this justice is a fair business so. would use a country like of tissue paper and when it thinks it doesn't need it anymore it just costs the way i think it's very immoral.

forman are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. for a different version of what. one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. well. this is a pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this this pump are going day in day out we didn't have any choice

really we could have put it over that way a ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now or no next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there and there we have we used to have a beautiful view. and now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. ain't going to happen.

someday you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i say it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes they'd be out of mind for sure. they have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't i mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so yeah they can put it where ever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows the proper practices and i don't think we'll have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue

in the biggest issue would be to to groundwater as i see it when we live are in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our homes so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as all that fraction job that's where they pump the sand the fluid inhale the chemicals because they use acid is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pump out that off into ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism or any time it kills it because of one of our guy has he. he has some of it on his hands. and i and i disturbed just swallow his hand we were bad because

that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is it's is wrong in the water. for this really is as is the nobody drinks the water out of iron stepfather from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just it's just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't that it's pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately owned land this is not government land any less the environmental protection agency finds scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof.

players just. propaganda. is it possible to restate safety measures for us tracking. down how deep it is advocating this notion and it attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is being raised as grass the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice if i try to track him to be as large quantities of drinking water. ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company that facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these tanks are used to hold water for the fracking they hold thirty five thousand barrels and so

they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all the water that's run in tears coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. spend millions of dollars on water for one is one of the biggest expenses on one of these wells. on the water after the frac they just blow up back out of the ground then they all went off to a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here. comes out of the pump jacks goes underground to the treaters in there it separates the oil the water in the gas this site you're produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with

a truck intricate out take it to disposal facilities. keep their lives sixty miles out of williston on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter north dakota's production. this oilfield isn't all that good for everybody we have secured land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roads oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along the gravel roads and they don't poison . fracking water it's all water logged these things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our cricket. we're going to our spot on. this is not in the water but it is you know they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to

enjoy this river where i do don't want them to walk in the water one come to get your fish if you can eat you know want to grow garden good you would have to worry about poison in the planet i want to have plants with better medicine if not before and now because of the things in the water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution risk caused by fracking . unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of work. during the drilling phase radioactive debris back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate to suppose that these toxic materials into wild dumps . special teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment sites.

in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil will put it in and the moment if you saw the u.s. rise on the first produces of crude oil based the shale oil. we can feel the concern brought by the price everywhere and will is to now shows the science of a boom town going bust. people in this town are very very sick. fishes of oil booms because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm

a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a message here. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and is a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them there out there they're very scared by the. developments in hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states in the past five years went from importing something like sixty percent of the oil that we use down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and williston in the bach and in other areas they want to put these companies out of

business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after ten thousand the well as we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the bokken. this situation brings happiness to the ones for him for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go back home or stay liston looking for new jobs. and feb twenty fifteen want one of my coworkers i worked with he calmly and he said managers late everybody all. these and i told everybody to go to a room get on a stove and get out and there's a two o'clock in the morning and night in february in the winter. a man can. emptied out and closed from one day to the next.

these dilapidated barracks will probably continue to landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and to cave. in construction began and the peak of the list is now nearly complete. occupied in part by survivors of the good the neighborhood seems sadly empty. here and with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still

raise more money than i came back home. just. now as much as they used to. i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job as talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people hiring. for a world cup twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way he's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and a huge amount.
