side problems and the disorientation be said though is not thought to have ever been manufactured in russia or in the soviet union the u.k. though was quick to blame russia for the attack on the former spy and his daughter though pointing out that novacek as a nerve agent was first developed in the soviet union the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. said it supported britain's findings concerning the identity of the substance but it didn't specifically name the nerve agent my guest takes a closer look at the controversy there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible we do polls russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less than a movie chock sounds russian means russia did it but 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 eggs birds 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 chemicals 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 book in twenty zero seven the us or the published

a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity the author you noted 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 save their secrets. 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 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. and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's the city a chemical weapons but eventually they must immediately according to the convention fragile it would be obviously w. but no country does so. and it really isn't as difficult as it may sound if it's really a we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent all the mystery 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 cure nerve agent. and 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 can synthesize this but there are twenty also loves that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made movie chalk's sales. britain's decision to classify almost every aspect of what happened and the investigation as called the room and mail running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching 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 an inhaled even more units one important thing we can tell you are symptoms appear and follows in minutes if it gets in the skin symptoms and can take for minutes to hours. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the deuce had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't match they simply missing if indeed this was a new recherche nerve agent at work the script pals were very fortunate. the u.k. and russia are head to head on a number of issues right now and it's having a knock on effect with high profile figures like the british royal family boycotting the twenty eighteen world cup in russia but that didn't deter a dedicated band of arsenal fans from traveling to moscow this week for a crucial european championship match after the break we'll meet up with one of them.

something happens in this case it was the chemical attack on civilians in syria and then the public in the media are waiting for the response i think it's very clear now that if president trump said that there is going to be a response then it will be i just think that our expectations in a way that this american response will be so severe that it will be a game changer i think this is not the case it will again be misadjusted very

careful calculation by the americans not to deteriorate into a clash a direct confrontation with russia. talking back the so-called russian bachmann is continues to dominate american news headlines what's more the media continues to brand dissenting opinions as russian despite many claims of activity already being dismissed. picks up the story. everyone seems to love a good russian story shadowy russian troll farm used a number of fake accounts russian bots attempted to use this tragedy to russia when bots are hyping terms like russian linked trolls are at it again trying to sow discord in america both are apparently to blame for trending hashtags or pro-gun campaigns after shooting the candidate so close to that when you find they cite one

source in particular for all that both information how will ten sixty eight. this not is how milton sixty eight doesn't specialize in trucking quite russian both it's a recent change in say that monitors are around six hundred accounts they simply believe may be linked to russian operations regardless of what even means we don't track bots we've tried to make this point clear in all our published reporting yet most of the third party reporting on the dashboard continues to appear with some variation of the headline russian bots are pushing x. this is inherently inaccurate said the mole hamilton sixty eight and myspace oppose it russian into counts on seoul even based where people might seem they are not all in russia we don't even think they're all commanded in russia at all we think some

of them are legitimately passionate people that are just really into promoting russia one news outlet with that red faced retracted its russian claims and was forced to clarify what kind of accounts the group actually tracks but most media simply ignores the facts and runs with that conspiracy theory but who can blame the mainstream media off to rule russian bolt sounds so much more menacing then the account of just quote someone who really likes russia it's the worst journalism it's criminal journalism there is such a thing the journalist to. this dashboards that there's a twenty eight hundred per cent increase in and i paraphrase laura ingram references based upon box m.a.d. atlee upon which the dashboard company said no this merely to tax changes in reference or in in reference to the particular name and that can be

misleading you could have a six thousand percent increase and have four tweets or five tweets from nothing and summer one and number two it said there's no way to determine if these are russian by us which is the as the gravamen of the story. this week saw another wave of clashes between police and environmental activists near the french city of nome. and. look tensions in the area have escalated since the deployment of thousands of police officers earlier in the week activists known as scientists have protested for a decade over the construction of a new apple near the city some even built makeshift i was moved in that but since plans for the new transport hub officially rejected in january police have been trying to forcefully a victim i. took

it. off correspondent child to do bensky was following events as the clashes came to

a head. so god. will kill you you think if you will the. god this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people are against that people moved into the land 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 or the government and the protesters 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 this side of the sky was raining with

tear gas here and our colleagues artie's video agency will caught up in that take us. inside. because you. already feel very fortunate to see well as you can see now the scientists have lit fire to one of these a very case the police are just about one hundred meters down in the distance ready and waiting for whether they going to charge forward 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 a inot today on the land if you look behind me there's a fire up in that in the background it is incredibly difficult to breathe we keep being moved on by that gas is actually chlorine at my skin because it hurt so much . real room. for

a whole board room 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 one of the c.r.s. offices has been taken to hospital one person who is attempting to throw a moment of cocktail at the police but it didn't go 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 are pushing the way they steer gas in the air already they've brought dogs in his well they are absolutely determined that they will move the saddest away from this camp we saw one man with a placard 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 all 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 also still continuing to tear gas is still being spread well here in the city of new york which is about thirty kilometers south of not to the down dillard's police were going in and raise a ring designed this homes and structures and we've also seen those clashes come back out onto the street has been plenty of to gas and people are saying they are incredibly angry. relations between the u.k. and russia might be at an all time low but that didn't stop english football fans

from traveling to moscow for a europa league match on thursday ahead of the sysco moscow arsenal game british media ran some threatening articles about what might lie ahead for supporters so with one arsenal super fan to see if the headlines were true. just on my way to consider you a prominent hostile fan going to be all seeing 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 his trip how do you feel. you know what. i know there's been a lot going on between the governments watching 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 in

an oil some of you've been to russia and i say well no i haven't come out i can i get advice for 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 things about russia and things of happened in russia that's not going to be a problem up in qana encouraged because of a lot received e-mails from groups over there in russia saying to me that lisa ruby east not 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 all 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 like in mr already. a weird dream worried about coming here and things are actually so it's all right there's no tension and that's where you can also. support insistence that the politicians get on with. you know we don't want to look around moscow see our modern issues the oh will be noisy he's game how will organize the seas are really good if you do that would you woke up so we could say we love the russia we love the russian people. friendship with that we create on the relations and yes i'm really good at the politics the politicians i

like it still not get a life and i was a bit skeptical when i first called because of all that what was going on and what not but when you commit yourself when you see it that is no problems and haven't seen any anti british sas sentiment 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 and what happens between people are totally different but they had a good time we'll see them again for the world cup a few weeks from now right that's the weekly i'll be back with more often out. of the financial for violence today was all about money laundering first to visit this question the three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your

something in america something overseas it became an island you know all these banks are complicit in their club diversity who decided to call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious moon ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy jewelry. again for a match you know what money i was. watching as a record. american sanctions would be damaging but i mean is this justice is a threat is this all us sure would use a country like a tissue paper and when it thinks it doesn't need it anymore it just costs the way i think it's very immoral. four man are sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all

four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the less do not shoot around a corner. to they sure don't you yeah but it's. all because i'm stuck on the body yet reached the social thing took place with him used to me i'm a chip they still took on some michael with the borough bush's mission many scheme which. you just don't want to miss playing in the war but in the mulch is similar

it's just but it could fall false and i look under the force to feel that it is shipped to tell me of what the most scope of local know what at the story beats his next move just in this close up. being your music you just. heard the. focus and since the. movie a super good book when it's someone introducing the prince. to the store.

to. suck it up think this is just in front of the public it's. the little one wished they'd seen look at everything soon.

was to know what you're going to do it is for those of us those who are a loser we also are usually used to when you're used to your good good good or a good to be your was you're the one of the it's a little bloodless a mature. person. someplace else. yes. i have to ask. the. question which.

pushed the actual votes of. evolution who puts it is that you should feel that you didn't. post. much. if that she will come. and now crossing the threshold if you can make in his fifth wife in

a space also now on board the international space to. be i do remember but i am. very far from here for her for. her or her her. her. her her her her. her. here everything is very. different than back on earth they have to float rather than going to it's not that easy to get used to they have to sleep standing up in

a sleeping bag making sure to zip up so that their arms don't flail about in syria gravity that's a station you have to learn how to get alone or ways there are too many threats here to waste time quarrelling. the need to do. i love the fact that on the international space station we are just a team. depend on each other every day with our lives and it's such a great example for everyone politicians just everyone all over the world of how we can work together to achieve great things everything that's important to us it's really important to us is pretty much the same. if you know i started saying

something that he doesn't agree with or he says something that i don't agree with then we'll start chuckling and say all there is to strong russian bear what are you doing jack we can joke about it and understand that topic we're talking about isn't as important as our friendship and the values that we share so it's not that it's not that big of a deal one of the cool things that's in the russian segment is the russian cosmonauts like our commander in the russian segment we have tons of great windows these are really high quality windows so we can take pictures we also have a lot of systems that keep the station going and we have another cargo vehicle at the very into the station and the last thing i want to show you is my favorite space picture because of what it represents this is yuri gagarin with the dove because space to speak is a peaceful exploration where we work together if you noticed i got a russian shirt i got american socks international that's what this place is about . working together as one team that speech and this week have a good day. so the politicos opposed to.

this new school. year motion about to come out should chris greatly reduce. good news this is. what we're need to do it needs to know who good to hubie teach to go is he screwed because because the most liberal i'm looking for issues from. just what they're. supposed. to be just as it lays going to use in this. is a huge jump to what you choose when you go to. the school see your. stall. video you know

the crew change. return to earth. the station. in the russian segment you'll have to carry out dozens of experiments and maintain the station he's got so much to do that it doesn't even have time to make. his american colleagues helping out the north peggy whitson stay here was extended so no she'll be working together with jack. mutual. good to go and you said it was good to see you. with your boys are going to you would you.
