thoughts to have ever been manufactured in russia or in the soviet union the u.k. that was quick to blame russia for the attack on the former spinors daughter pointing out that the nerve agent was first developed in the soviet union the international chemical weapons watched aveo b c w said it supported britain's findings concerning the identity of the substance but it didn't specifically name the nerve agent. now 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 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 know the chemicals any more russian than itself for years now researchers have published studies and the she's on the nuvi chocks which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries there's just one good one in twenty zero seven the us or the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of their 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 see 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 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 conventions register 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 an overt york we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or 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 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 so labs that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made new rich ox thing else. 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 graduate in 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 hailed even more units on them but as we can hail 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 feature nerve agent at work the script we're very fortunate because the u.k. and russia are at loggerheads on a number of issues right now and it's having a knock on effect with high profile figures on the british royal family boycotting a twenty eighteen world cup in russia but it's not deterring had dedicated band of awful fans to travel to moscow this week for a crucial european championship match after the break we'll catch up with one of them.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. a fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending to the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game but great so will transfer. thinks it's going to.

again this week saw another wave of clashes between police and environmental activists near the french city of non's. 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 against the construction of a new airport near the city some even build makeshift houses and moved in there but since plans for the new transport hub are finally rejected in january police have been trying to forcefully a victim from correspondent shot to do been following events. but the standoff continues on the sunday between the police and saturday so if you just look behind me this is just one of the many areas you can see the shell dummy just here but

they're also in the fields behind us as we're trying to come through this field just rooms and rows and rows of police even coming into the area of not too dumb and on sunday they will police cordons around the area checking i.d.'s people were coming into the site and that's because is that just said call for action for people to come and support them on sunday to support their attempts to stay on this land that many people have been living on for the last ten years.

let's take a look at what happened this week as the expulsion of the scientists began what's happening now is this is the battle between the police the c.r.s. will the government and the protest is the saddest to say that this is their land and. they will do anything they can to defend it they've been 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 sun the sky was raining with tear gas here and a colleague's artie's video agency will caught up in that take us right here. because you. ready for your i don't want you to see well as you can see now the scientists have let fly to one of these a very case the police are just about one hundred meters down in the distance ready

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 to down the line and 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 . real brute. force for a whole board room. but as you can see behind us the c r s and the police have come in to another that is point this is a point where. a couple of dozen people were trying to hold off as you can see the police are pushing the white face tear gas in the air already they've brought dogs in as well they are absolutely determined that they will move the saddest away from

this camp we saw one man with a pocket watch 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 you choice right getting rid of all of the. sadhus 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 wreaking because they are clearing this site a site that's been occupied for many many years sad could be over faster than many people thought it would be the clashes are still continuing the tear gas is still being spread well here in the city of north which is about thirty kilometers south of not to the dandelions there's been plenty of tear gas and people are saying they are incredibly angry. relations between the

u.k. and russia might be at an all time low but it didn't stop british football fans from traveling to moscow for a major european match on the first day ahead of the game some of the media in britain run threatening articles about what might have awaited supporters so. met up with one arsenal super fun to see if the headlines were true. this on my way to consider you a very prominent hostile fan going to be asking him when he travels from 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 in this context you know. in the noda there's been a lot going on between the governments waffling 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 come i get advice so 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 snot nearly as bad as what it's made out to be. on the plane about to head out to russia. the force which. is 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 like you must go already. so we're very worried about coming here really wants answered back to me so it's all right there's no taking certain bits where you can also. explain it to the politicians get on with it. you know we don't want to look around moscow ceremonies though will be noisy he's gay male will be known as the seas are going to get a feeling that would he will come see me good. father had a good time right that's the weekly for now you're watching r t international i'll

be back with the next edition in about thirty five minutes hope to see that. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what. one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because all it did not shoot around a corner. the

first two goals of the episode and then to plant the seeds in the sea of the europeans so that. in this new month it appears or. stop liking it. they'll be in the. will. want to start a job in d.c. height is going to. be done by media sound so female to ballet she jumps also says she must. accept that. it comes as mr b m's.

you keep the. fact. that. it's him in the summer morning and i'm on a bus headed down south from chinatown new york there breathless driver speeds up on the ice who really. am traveling across the states in a snowstorm because of a book. written over despair of twenty years back i'm forced from the mining areas

to be stunned kentucky the book by italians corner. is a monumental collection of moral history it tells the struggle of the words males to round mining of coal when any grants were to come to the area to work well paid but often has faded jobs the book tells the story of harlan county that's where i'm going. to bury. this or part of. its own. land.

i'm headed to the deep the mary kom of this book i want to see what's left of the three years since his first space is now that the us is shifting to major and gas and coal mines for shutting down one after another i do not expect to find a lively city when i drive into hard i find a ghost of the city where people are stuck in my car turns from black and white picture their stories and their. have not changed much from those recorded by push pills research and that they are leaving me in this turning round. world.

well we really don't know what you. would have been in thirty. plus at least two it would be. worth. no ma'am. but. in their place now it's. like appalachian man but. appalachian male eating. it's. very.

trying on a farmer paul. i got married when i was. sixteen years out and my husband was seventeen years old and the lean mean myriad about six months when he went into the mountains and then six months after that dad and i went to call accident. i had two week old son. lady who lived down the street here old me and. killed. her to that he would hit really. low. where no. company wanted to hold real that's george said also the coal ready for the christmas they wanted him there is always. something whole world you'll

put down in much the bad that wall. killed him if. they know it much. two three tell them both that locket one through philip and that shield and. that even if you see it there i would say oh. i. feel. i. i find remnants of the mining history or longer memories self the casualties and the hard labor are alive in the stories told by the young and the like they're not had for the glory of collective struggle and hard work paid off. speaking to the local

scene barson saloons he can see that their life was and still is mine mine is hard their narrow. their collective legend and whether played a part where said with pride. there survived the war right disappearing before day ice. or the rose parade rest. in their sparse brand is a bit of a work first see a racist i'm sure but the first day of life when six of them at meyers grill so. it was work and i got there as my grandpa grabbed the six awful sweater. but maybe you mean you know you don't want.

to go. in every lady made home and edit it he always had police because you know now with bates the life that you'll say. drew. you won't want to hear that there's no water in the mine and soon you would have to drown through water it would get it over your knees and. the horses would have to pull through the opponent's mouna and then they would be laid to bow foliage for tracks sometimes when they'd run out of traffic people here named were you know anywhere. there's nothing for him today and there have

been all the young pay for the turning to. alcohol. and. if it were someone would have to stay and said. hey our government would get interested in this place this part of kentucky i think we. could make it but if they don't there that i never day. in this say you know there's.

this or pop. eight point seven debbie m.t.v. to downtown weisberg this is johnson brains in arcade until ten o'clock tonight so i'm talking to some of the best music of two thousand and thirteen rendon playing the song but all. use. is holding its all. in one nine hundred eighty eight was the first woman to work in this one particular

mine and my job was what they called the bell boy and then they started calling me the bell person because i was a female so when i would go underground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this one. and coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face would be all black with the coal dust and i was a little bit vain so i would have a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it would be all clean. so that it but the guys would always be looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines. for its own troops. and for manalo no.

i remember when i was in high school i loved earth science i love the mountains all of anything he was brock's and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camero i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. we now know now. trying it is what. now and it's time to check.

a load out. now. thing. it's. still. cranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as

a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slow down so much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and that's a tough reality to deal. american sanctions would be damaging but i mean is this just us is a threat is this all us or would use the country. and when it thinks it doesn't need it anymore it just costs the way i think it's very immoral.
