even whether it's been proven or not he wants to go again you think he'd have the support of britain and british parliament again to go in. very sadly yes without a shred of doubt there were n.p.v. even on the labor side who. just that does this again we must be ready to go in only one thing one thing can stop this rush within thing again rush to over the cliff and that is for the truth about these videos to emerge and i'm very hopeful breaking news that perhaps as early as tomorrow we will get testimony from western journalists currently in damascus and it will be shown. that the whole thing is a fabrication well we'll see what tomorrow brings for now former you can pastor to syria peter ford thank you for making the time to be with us so it's nice to see.

thank you mean time british johnson has welcomed what he called an international endorsement of the attack on syria that's despite massive rallies in several countries protesting the military action very great moves people be a strong international support who speak for what the p three u.k. france and america have done so. they see some of the protests there and one is going on right now outside the houses of parliament in london research alys there for us this protest being held outside the house of politics here in central london the numbers are reaching around five hundred people organizers say they expect that to rise to close to two thousand by the time the protest is done and many people here show their opposition not just to the forming of syria but also to to resume a launching that attack without consulting parliament first and we have heard of

course from the government minister probably more than two said that the intelligence was just so sensitive that it couldn't be shared with every key well this is video next of the british and french fighter jets taking off and landing from the bases in the allows us out of there just to remind you as they join the u.s. led attack on syria french cruise missiles were also launched from the mediterranean to. one of the targets of the u.s. that it was a research facility near damascus the syrian government says it was a civilian object as they described it we spoke to a technician who worked there who said that the international criminal weapons watchdog to check this center several times and previously had found no signs of any violation. of the well 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 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 so back to know inspectors from the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. are currently in syria to investigate the alleged chemical attack that kicked us off in the first place but they haven't yet reached their destination in the city of doom or the organization says there are still security issues are being described that need to be addressed before it's experts head to the site columns a professor of chemistry at cornell university joining us now we're keeping a track on what's holding these guys up when they get in there but when they get there what can the inspectors hope to find. days of gone by there's been allegations already now coming out that russia may be have been tampering with this

site or any of these sites that's been hotly denied of course by russia. how long would any traces of sarin or maybe chlorine still be around for this time in is it still worth them being there i.e. . well you know i don't know how detecting chlorine itself would tell you anything sarah and i don't know the survival rate for the senator gas are expected to disperse you could probably find it by mass back if it was best spectrometry if if it was present in quantity but if the precursors to sarah or there then then those those are usually pretty common chemicals and that they would be there in any research laboratory to speak up i would think and that's the next question the most been asked of the last couple of days we had there were a couple of strikes but one notably at this research center the syrians say it was about as a civilian center we heard from the americans the precursors to the chemicals but

if you need to put together to make sarin or some sort of nerve gas with there if you blow that site up as they seem to have done looking at the maps that have come but you certainly see a site that's been obliterated with it not pose a danger to the wider area or was it just the fact that these chemicals by themselves weren't harmful particularly. i would think short of the most serious nerve agents i would think that mother nature would disperse them into the wind pretty fast. the danger would drop off as a squared function of the distance and so i think if you were right there on the spot you'd be a risk but i think they dissipate. mother nature dilutes toxins pretty effectively over time bombing any chemical lab has certain hair properties. the other thing is here of course as well you'd be thinking if the island countries

had suspected any of these sites had these chemicals in that could be mixed together to make it they might have gone in early or done something about it earlier we've been hearing that no this site had been cleared previously no problems have been found that you surprised therefore that it was a chosen site to be bombed now. why i'm surprised we bombed any site actually but that's just me you know american citizen expressing concerns that bombing a chemical site because two russian spies are expires or ex-pats whatever you call them seems like an awfully big answer to for a very small number of russian ex-pats but that's not expertise so it's just my personal opinion well of course the calling in that was the sole briefing then there was this whole other issue of these videos that went around purportedly from the white helmet showing people with terrible suffering but it's not been proved yet do that to the victims of the videos just go back to those videos the videos

that purported to have come in from to move from the white helmets i'm sure you've seen those awful pictures it's unverified video it's on our screens and. whatever is going on there appears to be a heck of a lot of suffering but we don't know when or where these videos have come from. looking at the symptoms of the people there do they look like they have been poisoned by chlorine or sarin i don't know what does it look like this looks terrific what does it look like in real life what are you seeing here i don't see in these pictures. yeah i have i'm not a toxicologist so i can't say for sure i mean i have been watching social media tear the videos apart and the collective wisdom of the internet is is doing its thing and there are certainly a lot of people who think that it looks staged i think that if you go looking for evidence of anything you can find evidence of anything i mean i'm agnostic on that

but. my personal bias is that chlorine gas would give you enough time to get out the front door so i'm a little troubled by the fact that all the bodies are buried or piled up inside i would expect the people to leave the reading and maybe they would eventually die from. bhima but it's i don't think chlorine gas is a keel over and die instantly kind of a dose of wash it out a massive dose and i'm gonna snootful of some pretty bad gases in my day around the lab. pictures are. horrendous maybe to be more coming out this tomorrow according to our last exposed to some of the foreign correspondents that were there to give some more of the you know the back on home turf anyway we'll be following it for now dave cullen professor of chemistry of the university thank you. thank you for with us to after the break so the different we hear from an italian journalist whose work has led to death threats against him from the mafia.

was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you saw spreading tell you that every gossip the public. doesn't tell you on the whole and i like. all the hawks that we all. watch. the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. and this man found his own response to the problem and constructed

dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle to the earth or to use accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution perth to someone monitoring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. again thanks for watching r t m kevin i know next to tell him journalist paolo barra met says he fears for his life after receiving death threats from a number of mafia clients last week italian investigators say their phone conversation between two crime bosses in it one of them allegedly tells the other

to murder the reporter. this is. a baronet is now on to the round the clock protection for military police the carob unary the journalist says the crime bosses want him dead because he runs a website detailing their activities he told us what it's like and who want to be on this one on the mafia hit list. first i received warnings then letters containing bullets and then anonymous phone calls then one day i was attacked i was assaulted by two hooded men since then i've had an injured shoulder so. i've now been living under the protection of the caribbean the area for four years i have launched fourteen criminal cases against almost thirty mafia bosses these mafia bosses tried to kill me anyway i managed to save myself from an attack thanks to the skill of the carabineers uk i know that at the moment there are five

mafia clans the woman. i live with five men five caribou near you follow me day and night i live far from my family for my loved ones these five carabineers at the first people i see in the morning and the last i see at night before i am left alone with my conscience or paolo says investigative works revealed how mafia influence and activity is changing these days. many journalists do not publish names or photos of mafia bosses many of my colleagues do not do investigative journalism i do i publish names and surnames i publish photos and above all i try to follow their business schemes their money this is a business worth billions not millions we're talking about billions of euros the journalist has a fundamental role telling the truth talking to people and doing investigative journalism. i don't have all been saddled with or the mafia was defeated

we thought this because the bombings were over because arrests were made we did not understand the mafia was radically changing it infiltrated the state and public bodies something of the matter is just an italian problem but unfortunately that's not true the mafia has spread from italy to europe and the world. clashes have broken out of small former soviet republic of armenia where there's been four days no mass protests ahead of a long time former president being sworn in as prime minister on tuesday police reportedly used tear gas and stun grenades against opposition activists as they marched on and tried to stall the parliament building several people are said have been injured there and what's going on the only rest has got its roots briefly in a twenty fifteen constitutional referendum which saw the country switch then to a parliamentary system and reduced the position of president to essentially a ceremonial role now the former leader who held office for nearly a decade had promised that he would not seek the job of prime minister but

opposition campaigners say he's broken in order to secure his grip on power so circassians party dominates parliament right now and he's the only nominee for prime minister. but the rage in germany after two rappers known for using anti semitic lyrics in their songs want to talk music prize their controversial lyrics include comparisons to auschwitz prisoners and hints of another holocaust despite that the rappers won the best hip hop album prize in germany's top music. last week their latest release sold more than two hundred thousand copies of well after initially defending their decision organizers of the award have no backtracked germany's foreign ministers call the award repugnant while a group of holocaust survivors also voiced their outrage political commentator amro in told us are to should not use freedom of expression as a free pass to say anything of course freedom of expression is a blessing think we shouldn't restrict the freedom of

the artist or decree eight or to break any mold because this is how men kind of progress us but having said this there are a few sacrifices thinks we should be kept as such and of course for israelis or for jews all over and for people of conscience regardless of their faith or nationality the holocaust shouldn't be broached in such. a cheap manner. just over eight weeks to go to show peace tournament gets underway here in russia and test of patience growing in the eleven host cities waiting for the fifa world cup preparations are entering the final stage and also preparing for the tournament is here is a self he'll be the first russian referee to officiate at the world cup in twelve years he spoke to us about the excitement of being involved in the competition on

home soil. those are pretty that i can't even describe my emotions because the shortlist process started four years ago and it's been a long wait for us so when we found out our brigade had been chosen it was just tiredness and relief how you would feel after finishing a very difficult task. as a rule at tournaments like this one your second wind kicks in and there are no thoughts that millions of people are watching and if you're thinking about it then you will definitely fail our work is to walk out and get into the zone which. searches for years and it all starts when you get inside football life as a referee or should players start to probe you especially young ones checking how you behave in certain tense moments if you position yourself in the right way you won't have any problems during the game. we've got great coverage coming up only the best for you or road star studded lineup of all things football this summer

that we got paid a schmeichel stun column or the one the only just a marine the zero all on the team pete has already been checking out some of the host cities for years latest seven hundred kilometers east of moscow it's cold so the m's. this one. this is. from. my son plays for the day so. this is the does.

it keep in touch with all the big build up to. a social media sites for the. u.s. led attack on syria is a gross violation of international law furthermore. have not been presented with. any chemical weapons a new phase of the syrian proxy war is need go sleep in another war of choice.

i'm action returns and we're going underground as minority u.k. leader drazen made bombs targets just hours before the o.p.c. w. goes into syria did in fact joe assess british culpability for the alleged chemical attack in duma we'll look at the wider issues coming up in the show. president outside victorious against the islamists who would wish to do nato capitals home under attack for alleged w m d can you gave minority government leader to raise them a really take britain to war and u.s. veteran and virginia state senator dick black tells us why a u.s. attack on syria is the wrong thing to do plus wait the more threats of war from washington a variation on what einstein said about not knowing which weapons would be used in

world war three but that world will fall will be fought with sticks and stones we investigate lethal autonomous weapons all the support coming up with today's episode of going underground but first to more of the united nations security council receives a briefing on british backed fighting in the poorest country in the middle east yemen where the u.k. arms and trains war plane pilots allegedly threatening twenty million people in a conflict that has killed thousands of may recently lobby to sell even more killing machines to saudi arabia which is bombing the children of yemen the two countries have moved a step closer towards completing a multi-billion euros arms deal they've signed a letter of intent to finalize talks on an order for forty eight typhoon. systems typhoons that are being vigorously marketed by the u.k. typhoon is the proven multiple aircraft in service the current generation of a fighter aircraft and service with five air force. across europe and nato it

really is the backbone of european and nato air power not that the use of nato air power always kills every child in airstrikes on yemen yani lot of a bizarre. well thought out argument a lot. and as one of the. southerners one of the nuts about it. and i would then i'm going to penicillin. eleventh because. a lot of it on the level on it. so how does more is not always enough the. desirable and. it was some of that. but how many in britain will survive asymmetric warfare from british islam is returning from their failures in syria and if donald trump's reaction to a russian diplomat threatening to factor retaliation against u.k.

and u.s. military assets in the mediterranean we're now back to this the. if you were to take the advice we've been giving you recently you will by now have chosen your room and gathered your materials in a refuge. the time has now come to make everything ready for you and your family in case some air attack happens joining me now to talk about being prepared for the consequences of any usa russia war is abdel bari atwan editor in chief of royal your thanks for coming back on let's just start with where the chemical weapons allegations have become the political weapon of choice for western or to excuse western expansionism if you remember saddam hussein used these chemical weapons he wasn't an american and the british side at that time nobody said a single word about him so. it tells you it is

a political weapon they use it against the people who are against them but if you are in their camp you are immune from this political weapon and that is what is happening in syria now look at they are accusing bashar al assad of using this why should he use it for example he is actually he was winning the war there. or the armed militia are leaving because donald trump is very unpopular in a european nations but arguably could he actually be being very clever here trying to triangulate between his base that voted him in as a. peacenik who didn't want western interventions and people like john bolton there is national security advisor in the so-called deep state that is part of makes a lot of money out of wars i see it differently i believe he lost the plot in syria he is defeated completely this man actually talking. through his

calculation his calculator. and judging from you know. profits and losses so this is this is how he actually behave and how he runs his policies you remember he received that chinese president about three months ago or four months ago as a hero and he was praising him and praising his government praising his country for doing trades with the united states now you know he changed the whole thing he's he wants to impose about one hundred billion doxes on the jail in china made a degree of concession isn't this is big got of the deal making talk whether it be on trade tariffs whether it be on all or war in the middle east you know the chinese are very wise and they are very clever they know he is like a raging bull and they don't want actually to enter

a trade war. with the biggest customer. talking about the chinese export to the american working class is arguably the would want to get back there maybe to britain and britain strange role in here do you think britain is stoking this conflict up in the u.k. of course being a key backer of the white helmet linked to islamists in syria we know those people are part of the armed groups in syria and there are financed by the west in a way or another. for britain actually to go. bang the drums of war i think this is very serious but we haven't forgotten the large of mass destruction in iraq we haven't forgotten also other lies about using chemical weapons in syria it is you know we need proof ok this country is supposed to be a national country so they always littering us in the third world that look you

have to be rational you have to look for proof you have to document the document your evidence and before your issuing any judgment the same thing about the poisoning of this question agent of action spike or decision agent. ok so look what happened you know whose daughter is with me she was actually cleared from any any problems health problems and she's saved he's probably saying without even this man being killed by this poison you know they kicked out one hundred and fifty russian diplomats so this is this rational diplomatic moves for example without evidence even without listening to the british lab which said clearly that these spoil this this nerves guys is not coming from russia there are sixteen countries and the word who. produce these kind of poison so i don't

know there is a me i believe i believe he actually is committing a grave mistake she isn't probabl because of bricks and definitely she would like to mention from her internal problems she didn't go to the parliament actually to consult with them about her moves whether toward peace or war. this week but it is just i mean without getting too conspiratorial and i'm sure the government does deny this is a means to distract the public away from bragg's that there are british islam is the rebel groups in syria. many of whom may wish to do us harm here in this country what this at least stop them from coming to this country of the war is for devil in syria you know in the beginning of the crisis in syria who supported that able to encourage the british to go and fight muslim bridges to go and fight in syria it was david coming and it was sad to see you know they encouraged them to go there

and actually they knew they were financed by you know arab countries like saudi arabia like qatar who are very close to with. this crisis and adopting the. aim of this you know. to topple bashar assad from his presidential palace so we know that so definitely those people now there is going to say it did not actually disappear completely ok made being in the state or isis was defeated over the ground but now there are going underground and with that. american spreading in the middle east they could come back any time you could come back to syria they could come back in iraq they come back they are already there in libya they are already in afghanistan so who created this crisis because the west actually they want to topple assad really wanted to topple qaddafi they want to topple ali abdullah saleh in yemen so they created fake states and instability in the whole of them really.

as british foreign policy become really an adjunct of saudi and israeli foreign policy i but if yes i believe you know the foreign policy of britain is many pleated by the israeli first by the money of the gulf states to be honest it's it is to create havoc in the stability in the middle east so they can actually milk these weaker or weak seats in the gulf region in particular who are fully dependent on the west for protection when president said we must actually be paid for the protection of those people we are protecting them they cannot survive for weeks without us. of course with syria as you said as of won the war no matter what happens it's even against the usa four hundred units or whatever is that the death throes of the these kinds of nato powers doing this in

the middle east because they're getting some observers being seen as aggressively desperate as they cope with their own populations obviously austerity. the western economic crisis i believe the american will lose and they will be in trouble there are two thousand american troops in syria and there are six thousand to in iraq itself there are a lot of signs of a lot of reports that they will be a word for or against these troops in syria and iraq. for a minute and that advisor of the ground. of iran the grand ayatollah he was in syria and he said clearly that we are going to fight the american troops on syria and iraq and also he said clearly we are going to actually recapture it lip which is the biggest city in the.
