5:00 am
syria so if i were not used yes they would not use the russian defense ministry specifically said that they were not used all of that me so i was that they were struck down there is a big debate how many of them you know the syrian side says seventy three zero to one hundred three maybe less but they were all started down by all soviet and i'll tell you that the syrian government and of the brits you were hearing more because you have so ok so there's there's two different versions of this attack coming out . from washington we hear that they fired one hundred five cruise missiles of various sorts right some of them their most advanced stealth ones and so on that they say they've used and that all of them hit their targets this is this is what we've heard all of them have all of the fighting which although we have a new baghdad bob her name is dana white she's the pentagon spokeswoman i'm just it tell me guys what it what it what i was about to ring to it is it d.c. dana or washington white i'm undecided oh you said that all the u.s.
5:01 am
missiles were intercepted and all hit their targets meanwhile the russian side is saying that the u.s. fired one hundred three missiles and that seventy one of those were intercepted hold that thought we're going to go to a hard break here after that short break we'll continue our discussion on syria stay with our team. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all judges but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach . guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure cameramen you have to go meet the center of the region probably would you. and we'll show all the great the great
5:02 am
good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the to for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the reno biagi team's latest edition to make up a bigger need to just say look. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to be culturally rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is
5:03 am
building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one distance show you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. this isn't the city of angeles when the u.s. military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up yet i think that an opinion one month a couple simple dunkel. i play games in general you write that i knew. that her son. it isn't the
5:04 am
first time the t.v. crew you see or think takes you for a night answer is wrong that no one that it's real or. that's it but i do what my god if. they. can take the gilliver that you can't take the little girl. you know woman you know. oh i love doing that. if you. welcome back across the uk where all things considered i'm purely remind you we're discussing syria.
5:05 am
ok let's finish up on the numbers game here because we like you are saying there there are some very radically different narratives but then again it's syria and that's what you get in the media very different to that of the u.s. is that only three sites were targeted they supposedly fired one hundred five missiles which is just over double what they fired last year and many less targets russia says they fired eight targets and that several of those all of the missiles were knocked down the u.s. . claims that these were chemical weapon research facilities now why would why would you target these kind of facilities when they have chemical weapons if that's already been often given the nobel peace price do you suppose that ability to launch it was that they did leave flying in that way and seeing for the rest was on the ground interviewing people at one of these bars a research facility most of these targets were in greater damascus so within an
5:06 am
urban area there was no release of any kind of chemical weapons no precursors even if they were by an area agents nothing nothing dangerous was let out now this this office there right. the o.p.c. w. the organization of prohibition of chemical weapons has inspected this site twice the last inspection was just six months ago was in the right just over half a year ago they used to have an office in this building the organization of the un's organization was going to then they use the labs and they cooperated fully with them the a.f.p. journalist asked one of the employees of this lab all right you know if they were making chemical weapons and he said if there were chemical weapons we. not be able to stand here and you wouldn't be able to ask me those questions it's ridiculous it isn't any degree because western media never answer questions and i see new install of this on the same day the strange defense ministry issued
5:07 am
a statement that all our missiles also hit their targets and we can pride ourselves on doing this is probably the common thread that so i want to revisit is is this a marketing strategy for these are just me i don't like their patriots i don't i don't think the us is doing a very good job of showcasing their welfare now although the syrian observatory for human rights this make it sure is rami are the rockman this f.s.a. propagandist in coventry u.k. right this one guy who has been quoted in numerable times by the western press to put inflate casualty numbers and everything like this he disagrees with the us assessment. he says that over sixty five of the us missiles were shot down not only that but he did not agree that chemical weapons were used didn't do much at all he said the people that were killed were killed in the bombing right the bombing of
5:08 am
the jihadi headquarters there so if you can't even get rami up. to play around with with your hoax basically what about you if you do that with the exception of this instance i always think the opposite when i read what he writes ok. let's talk about something really important here again that gets no coverage in the mainstream russia hasn't reacted. to terry little terry literally military why not well i think the reason why the russian missiles did not strike down these missiles and that was you know confirmed by the ministry of defense is because we didn't want to make it very clear or so for an attack against russia remember russia is the weaker we could cite in this future call from a key. russia's defense spending is twenty seven percent of what nato is european allies spend on their defense so if we show all of our trumps now if we kind of.
5:09 am
demonstrate all of that all russia's defense capability that will simply encourage that kind of leverage and i think i like whenever you have whenever you have a stronger they can cite a stronger aggressor and going to fight it is that when you have that weaker side it was going to go through that you have to be smarter ok you always have to be smart to be a smart guy and you have to be kind of you can't show all of your trumps i mean all of them said well there's an alternative they made a deal mark and they made a deal they did they very willing to this deal if if if you know when you have a strike like that the military people are very nervous when they see cruise missiles when they see the planes they might not get the message from their command us that you know don't shoot at them you know if you're in an attack like that all of us you have radio electronic fight as we call it you know you may not get all the messages from the commander so it was a very dangerous situation at the same times it seems to me they don't want to make sure this they had and they avoided any kind of direct conflict i disagree with
5:10 am
that assessment as a military veteran whatsoever both russia and the u.s. have used both syria and other conflicts as a testing ground for their weapons and russia has tested numerous of its weapons plus if you have a deterrent like supposedly the most advanced air defense system in the world you want to make sure it's used to demonstrate its capability right and this would have been a perfect opportunity firing justin and men unmanned cruise missiles to prove that they did not and also it would be a great marketing tool to sell the weapon russia is eager to sell the f. four hundred they did not now so i agree a deal was struck here despite the protestations from both sides there were no fatalities these bombings none not one there were three injuries no fatalities all of these facilities. were evacuated days before the before the incident a deal was obviously as they are discussed was a call is going to the first thing i said this is put this is a political strike rates of political theater there was there was an agreement
5:11 am
between russia not to fire at the cruise missiles right and still the syrian defense supposedly managed to knock down this antiquated pants arrest ones that russia has given syria and so on the short range. so. i have a problem with this there's a short term advantage it prevents at least temporary a larger strike although the next time the jihadi die a one in we'll be right back in the same situation again right so it prevents a short term strike and it prevents an immediate world war three situation there's a lot of problems with this though that i criticize the kremlin for one it sends a signal to all of russia's allies that russia is not willing to defend you from a direct u.s. attack even if russia has troops and base based illegally in your country second of all it maintains this ability of the us to attack you or laterally without any risk . to square the circle here i mean three facilities empty were destroyed nobody died ok it's the it's more than the number of people that die there are precedents
5:12 am
that are set there are long term strategic interests and precedents that are set this maintains the international legal violation that the us can attack countries like this by claiming weapons of mass destruction without any military i want to present where i want to go if this is what i want to go because i think to me anyway because the biggest. the biggest fatality in all of this is watching the u.s. britain and france the way they dance on the global stage with impunity i mean we had we had many said i mean this is prime minister may or may said that it was a move it was a quote clear message to anyone else who thinks they can use chemical weapons with impunity who who is behaving with impunity right now this is destroying international law the united nations i mean even had a member countries they say why is there even any votes on these resolutions
5:13 am
anymore because we know that talking to go in the u.k. there was a big debate in the last year in the last week where the bottom and should or shouldn't approve it and this time the majority to make sure it did it last time because last time to improve the end. started in the majority of voices was in favor or have in the parliament decided to appoint you know in france it's it's one day after the strike that president mccrone informed you know the bottom and on the reasons why he took the decision to strike a nice way to treat things but in general if you look at the situation in britain at least in two thousand and thirteen the parliament voted against it in the united states at least obama in the last moment to basically because i made a deal with the russians ok it was almost all right yes with france there was never never any problem about strike and so when they hear there's a lot of voices in russia which say oh it's the united states force in europe to
5:14 am
behave like that poor france you know it is or germany is occupied no no they don't do they old we in any case it's been sitting all of that and they share the same ideology and coming back to the very important question of forward russia's reaction basically russia russia in this situation. for you know a deal why because i'm not sure it was a very widely publicized deal because there were a lot of interviews with russian military specialists right you know days before the strike and they were all afraid that the strike would be real the real strike would be going after trying to destroy him physically you know striking at the government buildings in buggered up sorry in damascus if western side had done this then the russian the way it was believed in a way both sides like i agree with that as me and it was the result of that is that everything has been temporarily swept away but will resurface the next time this
5:15 am
happens and then we have to remind everyone this happens it's a sort of what do i know you know but the interesting thing is it's because the the the in. end of ice is ice all is within reach here and every time we get to that point with the syrian army. you know victory is within its grasp and we get one of these but i think it's a false flag these chemical attacks here now ok and we'll see it again with others and it has to be said again this was a both against both international and domestic law international laws as the only time that you can use force is when you have a resolution by the security council authorizing force to rectify a violation of international peace and security agreed to by all five of the permanent members or in a very limited sense of real existential self-defense and the other one is called
5:16 am
it's also against us domestic you know right because the congress for the umpteenth time has willingly abrogated their their war powers where they have to declare war and this continues and this is congress given the opportunity to do maybe that and they will not do it it's not it's not like it's thirty seconds or it's not like trump or obama was taking all the powers it's congress willingly giving it away and the response at least twenty seconds. on important to you you know when there were rumors about losing with russia you know this mythical collusion back in two thousand and sixteen when he won the election all we were it was very concerned they said that trump was a threat to european security i'm quoting that their voices at the motor summit know that trump really did something really dangerous when he did it in the rule of the way president and then you might say that russia should prepare for a nice smart missiles that's not
5:17 am
a threat he's acting presidential he has the support of the allies that tells you a lot about europe it's a lot about europe and in the west in general many thanks to my guests here in moscow this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember crosstalk. because of the slowness of the mood of them so moving. to good use over local was before. much of those who heard it's a preview or. see him with the north we will forgo. the move. move.
5:18 am

5:19 am
american sanctions would be damaging but i mean that is this justice is a fair business all us or more jews a country like it does your bible and when it thinks it doesn't need it anymore it just costs the way i think it's very immoral.
5:20 am
oh. i think there are. in the week's top stories america the u.k. and france launch an assault against the syrian government in response to an alleged chemical attack in eastern gooda the strikes were carried out without un approval and hours before an international team arrived to investigate the claims. workers foreign minister says an independence with a lab identified a second toxin used in the poisoning of sergei and but that its findings were ignored. and tensions run high near the french city of where activists and police have clashed throughout the week over forced evictions from
5:21 am
the site. but as you can see behind us the cia and the police have come into nothing at this point this is a point where. a couple of dozen people were trying to hold up as you can see police are pushing the white. part broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our two international this is the weekly and we are glad to have you with us now in the early hours of saturday morning the u.s. the u.k. and france hit syria with a series of coordinated missile and air strikes and the attack came in response to allegations that the syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians claims that international inspectors are still assessing.
5:22 am
as for donald trump in his first tweet after the attack he thanked the united states' allies describing the strikes as perfect and saying that there could not have been a better result but despite trump's enthusiasm there is doubt over the legality of the move as r.t. as you go to john f. explains. a perfectly executed strike if we've learned one thing from trump's ten years so far it's that he feels he can do as he pleases this week strikes on syria are a textbook example of how far this can go to batter a sovereign country with over a hundred retaliates remiss aisles in response to a chemical attack you'd have to be a hundred percent sure that that attack happened instead america's conviction was
5:23 am
built basically on online video and sources this conclusion is based on descriptions of the attack in multiple media sources the reported symptoms experienced by victims videos and images showing to assess to barrel bombs from the attack and reliable information indicating coordination between syrian military officials before the attack while my colleague kendall anian and i have learned today that the u.s. now has blood and a year in samples from some of the victims of this attack in syria last weekend and that those samples according to u.s. officials tested positive for chemicals toxin samples verified witness and victim accounts provided by a u.n. backed chemical organization would have served as rock solid proof but trump apparently figured why bother launching the strikes just hours before the your p.c. w. probe on the ground was sure jule to start experts abound to proceed with the investigation
5:24 am
anyway but in the face of the strikes they are presented with an additional challenge now holding up the very relevance of the probe another obligation for an attack of this kind u.n. approval but that's not a chapter of international law for trump just a nuisance does my duty to remind member states that there is an obligation but equally when dealing with methods of peace and security. to act consistently with the charge that of the united nations and with international law in general the un charter is very clear on these issues but even with the un brushed aside the us congress has to give the green light for the attack on paper it turns out the defense secretary is promised to run the decision with the lawmakers was empty it is hard to find a legal justification for that military strike in syria absent congressional
5:25 am
approval so whatever you decide to do i would hope you would include the legislative branch we will be reporting to congress and finally allies in ideal circumstances they'd be rallying on mars beside washington unleashing their joy in iraq on the enemy this time most u.s. partners while giving their verbal support have sought to avoid complicity or be able to get it we must say as we tell you and so always have that if we need a long term solution to the syrian crisis we not only need to respond to crimes but first of all work towards peace stand germany will not find two possible military action and want to make it clear again that there are no decision is between c. and c. word this that everything is being done to send a signal that this use of chemical weapons is not acceptable to say none of the formal boxes checked but the mission is accomplished and ignoring all the legalities and almost deliberately rushing headlong into war trump has once again
5:26 am
shown the only right way is his way. well russia lambasted the u.s. led strikes on syria as an act of aggression and requested a meeting of the u.n. security council at the emergency session moscow proposed a draft resolution calling for members to condemn the attack as a violation of international law it also demanded the u.s. and its allies cease their aggression against syria and allow the o.p.c. w. to conduct a thorough investigation but after a heated exchange the draft failed to pass the washington and london but chose to ignore all calls for sanity you have nothing but disdain for the un charter and the security council which you're using in your illicit aims but the un charter wasn't conceived to protect criminals our action absolutely corresponds to the goals and values proclaimed in the charter the us and its allies continue to show blatant neglect of international law i will take no lessons mr president to the
5:27 am
international norm from russia. any unilateral military action violates the basic norms of international law what the time for talk and did last night you don't treat the security council seriously you don't work to its guidelines don't talk to us when you don't consult the united states is a lock and load. when our president drollest a red line our president enforces the red the us and it is really due to shoot and it's loaded with sand and concern for here we are going to have aircraft several hours old smartness sorrows and a nuclear weapons arsenal now we also know they have this damn point international law we are prepared to sustain this pressure if the syrian regime is bullish enough to test our well you could use dimmers model is this how you want first to be conducted now this is hooliganism and not minor hooliganism super bowl since we are
5:28 am
talking about the major nuclear powers. where people around the world express their anger. the actions of the u.s. and its allies hundreds marched in britain germany greece and latin america to. denounce the intervention. on call from germany's left party told us many in his country opposed any involvement in the syrian conflict clearly condemning the strike left party in germany we say it's a breach of international law the majority of the people in germany they don't want to be involved so i think we should keep out while there are still. planes in syria the tone are those and the objects they make pictures we don't know exactly which kind of picture they they'd make there's one freak of germany accompany. us that strootman so we are calling to bring back these. these planes and the freak
5:29 am
out. and to bring back the soldiers which i enjoyed on your turkey and involved because we don't want to be. involved in this war. russia's foreign minister claimed on saturday that an independent swiss laboratory concluded a second toxin was also used to poison a former spy and his daughter in the u.k. last month but so he lavrov expressed concern that the discovery of the b. z. agent which russia says it has never produced was not mentioned in the international chemical watchdogs official report on the attack. in the bushes. is more consistent with the use of the poisonous substance be said none of these facts and nothing at all about it 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 the speirs laboratory was emitted from the final report of the laboratory in question has not addressed the claim and
5:30 am
says only the o.p.c. w. can comment but it did state that it supports the case conclusions about the use of another truck nerve agent. which the swiss scientists allegedly found in the sample is a toxic powder that was developed by the u.s. military back in the one nine hundred fifty s. and moscow says b. z. is a weapon that could be in the hands of the u.k. or the u.s. but it is one that russia does not have in its arsenal the u.k. was quick to blame moscow for the attack in salisbury claiming that soviet origin is an indicator that it is russia guilt and international chemical weapons watchdog said in that now controversial report that it supported britain's findings concerning the identity of the substance which is what i got here takes a closer look at the growing controversy there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgment and punished.
