so they are.

just off to. go to the program international. news stories a syrian boy seen in footage to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack has been recounted the day in question in an interview with a russian correspondent he and his father shed light on how the video which has been cited as evidence by western powers was actually filmed and how the events unfolded. these harrowing scenes panic fear terror soaked trembling children screaming adults and strange as it may seem many of them had no idea about what was going on. we were in the basement my mother told me that we had run out of food and wouldn't

have anything to eat until tomorrow i heard noises outside somebody was charging that we had to go to the hospital so we went there when i came in some people grabbed me started pouring water on my had. eleven year old has and via was one of the apparent victims in the white helmets video here he is after being drenched and sprayed he was found in duma and interviewed by a russian war correspondent. he's fine if a little confused and that's me in the video that's me. yes as were many other kids any child would be terrified ergo the panic which the white helmets were there to film he was eventually found though by his father who was none the wiser this is the police i didn't hear anything

about a chemical attack i was outside but i didn't notice anything further my family was in the hospital. it does make sense a poisonous gas would be invisible you'd imagine everybody would want to take precautions especially when you're hungry and they give out food for thought spittle. i went to the hospital walked up stairs and found my wife and children i asked him what had happened and they said he got so i was shouting about some smell and told them to go to the hospital at the hospital they gave dates me cookies to the kids one of the. doctors who was reportedly on shift at the time seemed surprised by the sudden influx some people come to. people in what. they said. we wouldn't think.

of the symptoms the doctor and others did however say that some people came in complaining about difficulty breathing which is common when an explosion destroys a building for example there's a lot of dust makes it difficult to breathe and especially affects people with asthma also people from the white helmets told us about the use of chemical weapons but we saw no sign of that if chemical weapons were used against those people our medical staff would have also been affected. we've sent a request to the white helmets to comment on this but the received no answer yet what we have seen is more and more witnesses coming forward to say there was only panic and no evidence of chemicals and we heard an explosion and somebody said it was a chemical weapon we ran to where the noise came from and started pouring water over

the people but the seemed to be ok and then walked away without any help people are so confused somebody started pouring water over people's heads saying they had been a chemical attack i was at the spot with my wife and daughter but none of us experienced any symptoms of chemical poisoning and it's remarkable how these scenes convinced three countries to launch cruise missiles at syria especially remarkable when you realize that so many of the people here had no idea about what was going on only that someone shouted about chemicals we heard from a former counterterrorism officer charge troubridge also emanuel tom an expert injure of politics or both have their own concerns about the white helmets footage of the alleged chemical attack. let's not forget the white house it's the

medical staff of the syrian american medical society. these are the two groups of people that have made into allegations in the first place they could use the videos they've produced these claims of the big question is was this a staged event using chemical is perhaps by rebels with the help of what how much that sentence the allegation or was it a genuine attack as claimed by the west or by certain western countries by president assad the truth about this events. is not the most important. in the crisis is who is good now we need the communication war these strikes where from the west compensation they all feed or to make a regime change is syria they claim that that's. eden's looking at social media or v.d.u. pictures they were not to look around and they decided from these so-called

evidence to strike because it was ported to kind of message. a team from the chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. came under fire in syria on wednesday while trying to enter the town of duma and they are in the country to investigate the alleged chemical attack on april the seventh artes in a report on the latest developments first i just want to break down the process for you how it works initially the u.n. security team is meant to be sent on the ground to assess whether it's safe to work there and the agreement has been that a certain stage they must be a score to the by the syrian troops in a different stage by russia's military police so the security staff apparently they were on this initial one her trip to put it this way and according to an official statement by the old p.c. w. . they came under small arms fire and then also an explosive device was detonated

and that was the reason why they had to retreat and go back to damascus we understand from the statement from the washing army that the exchange of fire happened when it was specifically the syrian army and charge of providing security for that squad on the seventeenth of april was securing the u.n. reconnaissance mission in the city of duma a skirmish you could between the syrian security service and figures an officer from the syrian security service was slightly wounded in an exchange of fire previously washington and london were pointing the finger at russia and their allies syria for what they called trying to hide facts and also hamper the mission of the chemical watchdog in syria why do operation to conceal the facts of the attack is underway supported by the russians their whole goal in this is to try to cover up of course it's not up to the u.n. and the o.p.c.

w to judge who this attack came from but what it is worth asking is whether the russians and the syrians are genuinely helping them out on the ground and if the answer is yes that might put london and washington in somewhat awkward position here chemical weapons expert at rice university james says any attempts to cover tracks will prove fruitless. be very hard to clean the area up from any trace of the residues of a nerve agent i mean this this is if it's probably dispersed by a nation state attack on people it's going to be all over on walls and buildings and if it was a chlorine attack the chlorine will be gone but no nation state in my view would ever use chlorine it is a very inefficient gas to be used that makes no sense to drop the chlorine so linder out of any aircraft. any terrorist group might might a fix a bomb to

a cylinder and try to blow it up but a lot more people are going to get hurt by the munition rather than by the chlorine it has to be properly dispersed so nation states don't use chlorine. more than a month on from the script poisoning and questions over the source of the nerve agent used to be do remain on. the u.k. says neither its military nor the global chemical watchdog have been able to identify the country that produced novacek and there are details. we've seen an awful lot of tit for tat and actually the accusations are coming from both camps now from the brits and the russians now the o.p.c. w. held a session behind closed doors at their headquarters in the hague it appears that there was confirmation from the british side that there was no information about the source of that chemical agent that was used in the soulsby attack that's a quick listen to what was said. neither d.s.

tales analysis nor the b.c.w.s. report identifies the country or lab of the origin of the agent used in this attack . the explanation for what happened in salisbury the russian state for sponsibility who believe the only brusha had the technical means operational experience and the motive to target the scribbles russia has responded because of those leaks and by releasing a rather strong statement the first being our read them to you that russia has answered all the questions that they've been asked to by the u.k. with regards to solve three and secondly russia provided proof that novacek was produced and payton to in the u. s. as a chemical weapon back in two thousand nine hundred fifteen me that russia will not accept any national or international results of any investigation without access to full information including materials from the british probe without consular access

to our citizens and most importantly without the obligatory participation of russian experts in all actions to establish the truth that happened in saul's on march the fourth so to clarify the situation to date there is no definitive independent evidence that basically points to the fact that the thought came from russia or indeed that the kremlin ordered that attack in solve and so from the russian perspective the lack of evidence as they see it is being widely ignored by the wider community some analysts we heard from so even though the u.k.'s position has weakened somewhat london is unlikely to backtrack on its allegations against russia. can't see how they can they can rescind what they've already said because particularly not only did they expel twenty three russian diplomats that immediately before the o.p.c. w. had even had a chance to examine the so-called evidence but they encouraged a lot of their nato partners to do the same thing so they can for diplomatically to

row back from this position particularly in very vulnerable diplomatic time for britain with back that niggling thumb not quite sure what they can do apart from to keep scapegoating russia it can determine the look border tree from which any see any near region in any given near region or substance was produced. but even if they can determine who got voted out does not mean that the border tree in the country the country and which the border tree is located is responsible these nerve agents can be stored and but obviously in this case they have not been able to even determine the border to which this particular new region was produced so this just adds more. to the narrative that's been spun now the boys and it also became the focus of a highly charged u.n. security council session on wednesday russia's ambassador traded accusations with british and american representatives. russia has

a proven record of conducting state sponsored assess the nation including on the territory at the united kingdom which you admit of that they keep saying that russia has a proven record of assassination proven by whom our western partners don't listen to us and don't hear us they don't need facts united states agrees with the u.k. the assessment that russia is responsible for the chemical weapons and sells very whether that is in their direct act or irresponsibly losing control of the agent which could be worse it will scorn your puny g.o.p. c.w. report has nothing that would help a person to incriminate russia so what is more important the c.w. has confirmed the novacek can be made in any tree with the right equipment and there are such laboratories in the us and you can't the formula has been known since one thousand nine hundred eight if you look at google peyton's and search for novacek you can find more than one hundred matches in the us alone was. thousands

of wives and children of former islamic state fighters in iraq are being sexually exploited and refused a that's according to a report from amnesty international because they consider me the same as an islamic state fighter they will rape and return me they want to show everyone what they can do to me to take away my own or i can feel comfortable in my tent i just wanted door to lock and walls around me each time to say to myself denied is the night i'm going to die the amnesty report was based on interviews with almost one hundred women staying at camps in iraq they claim to have been denied access to food water and health and according to the organization militia groups running the camps were preventing the women and their children from returning home we asked our aid mohammad started and radio host john go on for their views on how family members of extremists should be dealt with. listen people should be treated fairly we need to find out if these people are associated with cherish if they are associated with

terrorism then to office far as i'm concerned we need said the strongest message out we've got to be careful with this situation and i think the iraqis are going to treat these people with respect but by the same token they've got to but the protection of the majority of citizens first we're talking about these. this is just an hour long for us to pay attention of what we can do in the post isis so if their ministry has this will be with us we ask for join we ask for the u.n. to to send transparent independence team on station to to look into making sure those towns regardless of the how the member of isis previously were not of how we can make sure the cycle of violence to not continue because the last ninety two women or the children though tomorrow they're going to take arms against the government that abuse them and become so it is not a matter of already and it is the. result as a tool to their reaction interviewed ninety six people for them said they had

either been raped you'd seen rape you've got to be careful these people are desperate of course that i want to be in these camps i understand this but you've got to look at it in its totality and like i say i'm not condoning the way by not condo me bewsher in any way shape or form but the iraqi government have got a first and foremost protect the rest of the citizens these people are accused of being associated with the islamic state the report stated perceived those people associated with isis this is not this is not this is not the army this is an idea this is an internal displaced camp where people have lead from isis to be safe on the count this is not this is not being instigated or being questioned by the police this is how the been treated this is how they get treated and become and this kind of camps builds again and build another isis and this is we're concerned about. still to come here on the program an aussie international refugees are using

a new technique which actually allows them to stay in eat you countries will give you the full details in just a. little . brings peace to the chicken hawks the battle. for you socks for the tell you that will be gossip and probably a little they. tell you. like they're. all the hawks that we all. watch. the fed prints the money and then the pentagon blows it up in various countries around the world or sends us soldiers out there to get maimed and blown up because you

don't die for your country to protect democracy you die in america to stop inflation that's what the soldiers out there are dying for they should replace the american flag upside down dollar sign or something. and. it is good if you join us. the number of terror related investigations in the german state of. iraq interesting although it turns out of the cases are self reporting refugees a paper all of it has been taking a look at what's actually behind this rather unusual development. the number of asylum applications coming here to cheer me decreases what we have seen is an actual increase in the number coming here saying that they would parts of

a terrorist outfit and it has politicians absolutely baffled i come to understand why someone would accuse himself of a serious crime in the hope of gaining an advantage in his asylum claim to particular reasons in the southwest of the country jump out because it's there that one hundred fifty nine people have declared themselves as members of a terrorist organization already in twenty eighteen if we kill back to twenty seventeen well three hundred people saying exactly the same thing why would anybody claim to be a member of a foreign terrorist group well because investigation could be sold to morrow but most likely never investigations are proving to be very time consuming. because they almost always alleged foreign acts for example in syria iraq afghanistan or somalia if we look at couldn't trees like of ghana stand which germany and all the

e.u. nations have already referred to as a safe country to return to then you can see why people would come forward and say that they have information and would rather face a trial than deportation that you have a death or a cheese on suggesting this is the easy way out anyone who makes a false confession must understand that he is going to face criminal consequences all of which has its roots swayed back in the summer of twenty fifteen when angela merkel opened germany up to refugees peter all of the well this phenomenon is not just consigned to germany let's take a look at the situation in greece hundreds of asylum seekers recently gathered outside a police station in the city of thessalonica for the very same reason many of you arrest as an opportunity to stay in the e.u. and the fastest way to get the necessary paperwork started a large waiting line are reportedly formed for days after a surge in illegal border crossings from turkey follows ankara's military operation

against syrian kurds geo political analyst on consultant rainer office believes the refugee crisis has been costly for europe. we continually see the judicial system of the european countries is simply not to carry out to the challenges of the refugee crisis in the past years by end of twenty seventeen and became clear that. the german government must ask employed over two thousand for their judicial experts to deal with the increasing crime cases concerning us. about all. terrorism but this also increases extremely that on the german traditional system it means a sharp increase also in employment costs it should be made possible.

in collaboration with the traditional systems of the home countries of those migrants. these allegations are dealt with in their home countries instead of inside you off. a new history textbook question and the united states is raising concerns over what's said to be one sided look at the defense and in particular the recent presidential election in the country. tapped into the sense of alienation and being left behind that many voters most of all white poor and working class voters felt clinton supporters fear that the election had been determined by people who are afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country. they were largely white males more so than any cabinet since ronald reagan the book was approved by the us college board meets all curriculum requirements and the book details information

about the black lives matter of movement and its claim to patrol donald trump and his supporters as racists during the twenty sixteen presidential elections a political and social commentator and to me brian logan believes strong school textbooks have to provide facts and not opinion that. most certainly want to say and if they go by history books i thought it was posted just give the facts give the basic information about what happened and not interject personal opinion the whole opinion piece is not necessary doesn't that you would see on and brandon webb say that has those kind of things on it as you would expect from there but for a book it is making the sense. textbooks not supposed to spark debate as well as to be just information for children to learn and if you are now school college or whatever issue be about learning information to be a bow being indoctrinated in china start an argument education is pretty much

consumed with liberalism is controlled by liberalism from top to bottom. well what's happening with education in the us these days a lot of leftists are in power to control that are teachers the administrators superintendents in college or professors that are deans there they could make a total of eighteen so there's no balance when talking about people they're actually implementing the education. aspects of so-called block chain technology of becoming so valuable even hollywood is now flirting with its use of santiago spoke to the american actor wesley snipes about the potential for this new technology in the filmmaking industry. block change innovators continue to flocking to puerto rico to build what the people say will be a city of the future operating in large by the law change so industries we spotted wesley snipes as he arrived in san juan joined forces with the ninja which unifies

commerce communications and governance in a single platform which wesley believes to be the future of the movie making in the street so what does hollywood think of watching oh my god boy is this what is this what is this mammy i'm sick and that. good good good come out of what i'm working out of work but i'm not really would want to limit this if i am an optimist my preface in life was to create a product and bring in the technology. to elevate humanity to our ox and that that's something right there but hollywood does not do it at. the table hollywood how do you think law change can be facilitated in filmmaking if there's a system that allows the artists and the creators to get access to the resources and the capital the fuel all the what we call that yes. it's a good thing we hope to bring that to those two together and be made to be some

great friends. to figure out ways to use what you guys are creating this new frontier in what we do still filmmakers to move into crypto by the fifty five year old hollywood actor who comes nine years after he was convicted of tax evasion nevertheless he seems to have been received quite well with so community we want to provide the services and the holes in our open platform in order to provide the next generation of companies and organizations to exist and to be able to decentralize production of movies and that's actually that's why when i think i just. you know it's a decision like advancing media and technology or movie production and that's one vertical but we're also working on hong kong. another company about security and treats really the food to them like you are there to review military and efforts to help rebuild that was damaged and protect that beauty all of the creativity we have

more private you get out of the ride if you stay tuned for more to tell you the border recall with max kaiser is fiery speech about the battle that is yet to come between the dollar and. taxes and thiago r t. former adult movie star stormy daniels has found herself in the middle of a media storm over allegations she had an affair with donald trump years before he took office but now the story has a new twist she's released a sketch of a man that she claims trump hired and threatened her well to keep her quiet in twenty eleven. can we take a look at that if you. will go into your recollection is it is that the person that knew absolutely.
