9:00 am
tell me guys what it what it what has a better ring to it is it d.c. dana or washington white i'm undecided oh say that all the u.s. missiles were intercepted and all hit their targets meanwhile the russian side is saying that the us 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. american sanctions would be damaging but i mean is this just us is a threat is this all us should would use a country like a tissue paper and when it thinks it doesn't need it anymore it just costs the way
9:01 am
i think it's it's very immoral. four men are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. all four different versions 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 less do not shoot around a corner. too
9:02 am
close to the only of the person and then to plant the seeds and other before see of the upper hand so the dog. in the zoo montana play is a bus stop bugging. you think he has a board as a car will. want to stop jumping to a cia slush janice i'm told he doesn't mean you sound so female to ballet shoot your own plotless says she was. the next major that a modern day kind of bears much to. welcome back across the uk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing syria.
9:03 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 us is that only three sites were targeted they supposedly fired. one hundred five missiles which is just over double what they fired last year had 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 you target these kind of facilities when they have chemical weapons if that's already been enough to give in the noble peace prize that ability to launch of. finding that made in seeing some interest was on the ground interviewing people at one of these bars in
9:04 am
a research facility most of these targets were in greater damascus so within an urban area there was no release of any kind of chemical weapons no precursors even if they were buying 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 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 would not be able to stand here and you wouldn't be able to ask me those questions it's ridiculous it is certainly didn't think it was western media never answer on this
9:05 am
question is going to have a nice new install of this on the same day the range defense ministry issued a statement that all missiles also hit their targets and we can pride ourselves on doing this is probably what happened to that celebrity and even if it is is this a marketing strategy for these are just me i don't like they're patriots and i go i don't think. u.s. is doing a very good job of showcasing their weapons here now although the syrian observatory for human rights this make it sure is rami are the rodman this f.s.a. propagandist in coventry u.k. 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 u.s. 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
9:06 am
the jihadi headquarters there so if you can't even get rami up. to play around with your hoax basically doing about it you would think that with the exception of this instance here 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. little very literally military why not well i think the reason why the russian missiles did not strike down these missiles and that was 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 conflict here 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 you know
9:07 am
demonstrate all of that all russia's defense capability that will simply encourage that kind of leverage and i think i like whatever you have whenever you have a stronger they can cite a stronger aggressor and going to decide if it is that when you get weaker side one of the units don't you wish 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 show all of your triumphs and all of them said well there's an alternative they made a deal mark and they made a deal they did they very well i think it is a deal if if if you know but 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 almost you have a radio electronic fight us with quote 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
9:08 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 manned unmanned cruise missiles to prove that they did not and also it would have been 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 there are these bombings none not one there were three injuries no fatalities all of these facilities were evacuated days before the before the incident the deal was obvious those are discussed as a cause is going to the first thing i said this is put this is
9:09 am
a political strike rates of political theater there was there was an agreement between russia not to fire a cruise missiles right and still the syrian defense supposedly managed to knock down its antiquated pants arrest ones that russia has given syrians or 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 will 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 if 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 laterally without any response but i don't know if you can square the circle here i mean three facilities
9:10 am
empty were destroyed nobody died ok it's it's more than the number of people that die there are precedents 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 what i wanted to go to this is what i want to do because i think to me anyway because the biggest. the biggest fatality in all of this is watching the us 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
9:11 am
a member countries say why is there even any votes on these resolutions anymore because we know that talking to go in the u.k. there was a big debate in the last during the last week where the bottom and should or shouldn't approve it and this time the majority didn't and so i said last time because last time to improve the ends. started in the majority of voices was in favor all came 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 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
9:12 am
behave like that poor fromm's you know it is or germany is occupied no no they don't do they would we in any case it's been seen all of that and they share the same ideology and coming back to the very important question of our 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 wave would be leached off in a way both sides like i agree with that as me and it was the result of that is that
9:13 am
everything has been temporarily swept away but will resurface the next time this this happens and then we have to remind everyone this happens it's a sort of what do i know you know but the the interesting thing is it's because the the the end. isis eisel 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 the international law says 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 neither one is good it's
9:14 am
also against u.s. domestic you know right because the congress for the up teams time has willingly abrogated their their war powers where they have to declare war and this continues and this is congress when given the opportunity to do maybe that when they will not do it it's not it's not law 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 lucian with the russian you know this mythical collusion back in two thousand and sixteen what you want the election all we all know was very concerned they said that trump was a threat to european security i'm quoting there 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
9:15 am
a nice smart missiles that's not a threat he's acting presidential he has the support of the allies that tells you a lot about europe so 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. well we'll go twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the beach . and do all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets
9:16 am
busted you we need you to get let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the fall of two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet this special one. needs to just take the radio beyond the team's latest edition to make it up as we go. look at. the war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce offspring to tell you that they'll be gossip and probably by falsehood the most important. off the bat has been telling you on the cool enough and let's hope by product. of the hawks that we along the border we'll watch. it.
9:17 am
the philippine 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 here. a dad and within a one month old couple simple than an eagle. eyed boy be a surgeon like you like. i know your. son take the time you. sat is it the first time in the t.v. crew use you or takes you for a night answer is a little bit no one that it's true or. that's it but i do what my god found it.

9:19 am
a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave badly. important people of course but of a lot. more so for the last. one this may end infirmed. role. in the start. of a broader where no fight for young really did uphold are now going to get. i mean even reason is that if you don't involve this constantly evolving. stuff. that. was.
9:20 am
all over. i think. the u.s. raises the threat of more sanctions on russia over moscow's support for the syrian government as softer nerika and its allies take military action against a masculist on unconfirmed claims of a chemical attack. britain's prime minister's seems to have some explaining to do when parliament reconvenes on monday to resume a didn't seek and he's approval for the attack on syria. r.t. speaks exclusively to an italian journalist who's living under a lot of fear death for his investigation into the organized crime group. at the moment there are
9:21 am
a five minute runs the one. i live with five men five caribbean hearing follow me day and night. and the german music industry is slammed for handing out a toppled ward to a rap duo in for most anticipated lyrics. a very warm welcome this is artie international and i'm nikki aaron great to have you with us this hour our top story the u.s. is threatening russia with new sanctions over syria this follows a combined assault by america and its allies against the assad government the u.s. envoy to the united nations said russia will face new restrictions over its support for damascus. so you will see that russian sanctions will be coming down secretary mineta will be announcing those on monday if he hasn't already and they will go
9:22 am
directly to any sort of companies that were dealing with equipment related to assad and chemical weapons use and so i think everyone is going to feel that at this point i think everyone knows that we sent a strong message and our hope is that they listen to it nikki haley mentioned the proposed sanctions would hit a russian companies that deal with the syrian government the planned restrictions and the strike on syria and ending an alleged chemical weapons program that one of the targets of the u.s. led attack was a research facility near damascus the syrian government says it was a civilian facility we spoke to a technician who works there who said that the international chemical weapons watchdog had checked the center several times and found no signs of any violation. if you said it shifty you can see that nothing has happened here i've been here myself since five am there are no signs of chemical warfare agents this is
9:23 am
a civilian facility and drugs and chemicals production technology was developed here for peaceful economic purposes o.p.c. w. visited this facility several times carrying out several thorough inspections the organization received a lot of help in its work and so did the members of its teams there was even a special place on the site allocated for the o.p.c. w. so they could collect and package samples taken from places that had to be inspected. well just to remind you of the events that dominated headlines over the weekend in the early hours of sunday morning the combined forces of the u.s. the u.k. and france pounded missiles and as strikes on syria they are allies say the assault came in response to an alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma a week ago western countries blames the attack on the song government though no solid evidence has been provided.
9:24 am
well russia slams the u.s. led strikes on syria as an act of aggression and called a u.n. security council meeting mosco proposed a draft resolution calling for members to condemn the attack as a final ation of international law it also demanded the u.s. and its allies to cease their aggression against syria and then allow the ok c.w. to conduct a thorough investigation but after the hated and counter the draft was quashed. the governor is washington and london but chose to ignore all calls for sanity you have nothing but disdain for the u.n. charter and the security council which you're using and your illicit aims but the
9:25 am
un charter wasn't conceived to protect criminals our action absolutely corresponds to the goals and values of proclaiming in the charter the us and its allies continue to show blatant neglect of international law i will take no lessons mr president in international law from russia you don't treat the security council seriously you don't work to its guidelines i don't talk and you don't consult the time for talk and did last night the united states is a lot and loaded. when our president draws a red line our president enforces the red line you have sensed it is really due to shoot and it's loaded with sound and concern to hear we know that they have aircraft several hours old smartness sorrows and a nuclear weapons arsenal now we also know they have this damn point a national law we are prepared to sustain this pressure if the syrian regime is bullish enough to test our will to produce dimmers level is this how you want
9:26 am
a first to be conducted to them this is hooliganism and not minor hooliganism the proposal since we are talking about a major nuclear powers. with syrian government that the assault is barbaric accusing america the u.k. and france a big night in tension in the region here's how people in damascus reacted to be a tux. be kind it is a strike on syria was treacherous but it's given syrians the determination to overcome terrorism it was an aggressive assault on syria our beloved country. we've been living in this crisis for seven years now such a strike want to factor at all and our country will improve in general so how to handle it if he strikes me something it's the moral bankruptcy and feeling of the west and the terrorist groups mickey again and then his that he feels like we have something inside there prohibits us from being afraid you can see how people go to
9:27 am
the market and out in the streets no one has been affected or felt any fear or trump strikes have drawn anger to at home with thousands across america rallying against the assault but the explains the president might not need public approval but destruction instead. big in the public eye as a world leader is no easy task especially when things aren't going your way one day you'll know is home is being raided by the f.b.i. the next you are trying to hush up book tours which could threaten your reputation but in times of means that always to divert attention then sometimes the best ideas are right in front of you on t.v. if the president and france and the u.k. decide to strike syria don't you think that story would be a bigger story than colmes book gets released on tuesday. a short time ago are you ordered to launch precision strikes or targets associated
9:28 am
with the chemical weapons capabilities of syrian dictator for sure. it can be so effective few people will actually see through it but i want to say this raid is meant to distract from his other problems but it's called operation desert storm e. president trump ailed the missile strike in syria is perfectly executed but it could be argued this was instead perfectly timed and that's what's for him before the media branded trump as russia's puppet shaking off a reputation calls for trust that meshes and fifty nine tomahawk cruise missiles launched at the syrian air force base to just pass in milton he gave his popularity of boost but also a big pat on the back from the media we see these beautiful pictures at night i am tempted to quote the great letter cohen i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons what changed last night i think. became president of the united states i think this
9:29 am
was actually a big moment president trump isn't fess to employ such tactics in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight bill clinton's decision to bomb iraq coincided with him facing impeachment at the time this alter the shadow of him lying and oath in relation to the monica lewinsky. if. i did not have sexual relations with that woman miss lewinsky to strike military and security targets in iraq they are joined by british forces their mission is to attack iraq's nuclear chemical and biological weapons programs saddam hussein must not be allowed to threaten this neighbors are the world with nuclear arms poison gas or biological weapons down here grab fire everywhere i remember. he can forget the actual operation desert storm launched by president george h.w. bush when the economy in recession the gulf war based it his approval ratings. have
9:30 am
therefore directed to reject the iraqi army from kuwait. which. is president i can report to the nation aggression is defeated the war is over. you don't have to look too far back in history to see world leaders employing distraction tactics so also self this question what would dominate an international media narrative the possibility of a global war or the domestic troubles of a western country you want me to produce your war not a war it's a pageant we need a thing or so so this will as we know it's a pageant well to ask how the media of trucks decisions as to how water affects of fish truck lives and breathes by media ratings approval there is a long tradition of.
