to end the homelessness crisis. headlines for this hour an international a russian t.v. channel claims this interview to syria and voice. reportedly showing the. child and his father give their account of how events unfolded in. the u.k. and russia trade fresh exchanges at the. case it's neither it nor the international chemical. origin of the know it used to be a time. and a new trend among. many migrants are increasingly claiming to be terrorists so there are void deportation back to their home countries.

just now turning off the. nineteenth here in moscow welcome to the program on our national headlines. a russian correspondent of russia twenty four t.v. found a syrian boy seen in footage to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in an interview which cannot be independently verified the child and his father recalled how events unfolded in duma on april the sufferer. 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 all my had. eleven year old ass and dia 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 poisonous gas would be invisible you'd imagine everybody would want to take precautions especially when you're hungry and they give out food at the hospital. i went to the hospital walked up stairs and found my wife and children i asked them what had happened and they said people outside was shouting about some smell and told them to go to the hospital at the hospital they gave dates and 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 say 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. 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 run 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 got

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 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 the u.s. and the majority of european countries say a chemical attack did happen in the town of duma citing their own intelligence sources cuse the syrian government of deploying a toxic agent over the area which at the time was held by militants american and british and french military syria with an airstrike in retaliation targeting

a number of facilities which they claimed were related to a chemical weapons production and development. meanwhile allegations of a chemical attack and now being questioned even by some of the western media british journalist robert fisk visited duma and was unable to find any witnesses a former counterterrorism officer child says he's also seeing signs of backtracking on the accusations journalists who got him on the ground robert fisk is a notable person i'm thinking of there he said and attended by syrian government employees and so on he spoke to ordinary residents and to medical staff who none of whom confirmed the idea that there was a chemical attack we're already i think saying i'm detecting science myself that there is a slight backtracking amongst government statements rowing back slightly saying well actually we weren't completely clear that's why we we were relying on social media we were lying on activists on the ground and that's why we only carried out a limited strike so they're already i think preparing the ground for the

possibility at least that the port isn't particularly helpful for example it may actually find that there were no trace of chemical is of chemical warfare 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. 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 at a certain stage they must be escorted by the syrian troops and at 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 o.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 swat. teams a very brutal securing the u.n. reconnaissance mission in the city of duma a skirmish you could between the syrian security service figures and the office of 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 toll says any attempts to cut the trucks 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 that 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 russia's ambassador to the united nations has lashed out at the u.k. of its handling of the script poisoning case. traded accusations with the u.s. and u.k. representatives during a highly charged session of the moscow was once again denied access to the probe. russia has a proven record of conducting state sponsored assess the nation including on the territory at the united kingdom. they keep saying that russia has a proven record of assassinations proven by whom our western partners don't listen to us and don't hear us they don't need facts in ited 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 good luck it will score b c w report has nothing that would help britain to incriminate russia what is more important the c.w. has confirmed the novacek can be made in any loop or a tree with the right equipment and there are such laboratories in the us in the u.k. 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 more than a month on from the script boys and questions over the source of the nerve agent used in the attack to remain in the u.k. says neither its military law but nor the global chemical watchdog have been able to identify the country the preachers the agent and their a tutor has 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 salisbury attack that's a quick listen to what was said. as the analysis of the o.p.c. w.'s report i did too far as the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack there is no proof alternative explanation for what happened in salzburg the russian state responsibility russia has responded because of those leaks and by releasing a rather strong statement the first being are with 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 tidd in the u. s. as a chemical weapon back in twenty fifteen it was used. 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 is all 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 source came from russia or indeed that the kremlin ordered that attack in the fall of three and so from the russian perspective this lack of evidence as they see it is being widely ignored by the wider community. former m i five agent i mean national says that even though the u.k.'s position has weakened somewhat london is unlikely to backtrack on its allegations against russia. they sort of backed themselves into

a corner and i 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 actually immediately before the o.p.c. w. had even had a chance to examine this so-called evidence but they encouraged a lot of the nato partners to do the same thing so they can afford diplomatically to row back from this position particularly very vulnerable diplomatic time for britain with threats that looming so i'm not quite sure what they can do apart from to keep scapegoating russia but i suspect rather sadly this is going to sort of languish in the conspiracy theories category for anyone who questions this very thread their official narrative that britain has pulled together. thousands of wives and children or former islamic state fighters in iraq are being sexually exploited and refused aid that's according to a report from amnesty international. because they consider me to 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 honor i can feel comfortable in my tent i just wanted door to lock and walls around me each time to see to myself denied is and i am going to die the amnesty report was based on interviews with almost one hundred women staying at a comes in iraq they claim to have been denied access to food water and health care and according to the organization militia groups running the camps are preventing the women and children from returning home and we asked aid worker mohammed cycle and radio host john gaunt for their views on how family members of extremists should be dealt with. 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 strong message out we've got to be careful with this situation nothing iraqis are going to treat these people with respect but by the same token they've got to put the protection of the majority of

citizens first we're talking about these law mixtape. this is just an hour long for us to pay attention of what we can and do in the post isis so if their ministry has this will be with us we ask for join we ask for the un to to send transparent independence. organization to you to look into making sure those camps 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 those ninety two women or the children though tomorrow they're going to take arms against the government that abuse them and they come so it's not a matter i'm sorry i don't have the i. as a tool to there he actually interviewed ninety six people for them said they'd either been raped or chain 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 marco say i'm not condoning the way by not condoning

abuse in any way shape or form but the iraqi government have got to first and foremost protect the rest of the citizens these people are accused of being associated with that 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 being treated is how they get treated and become and this kind of camps build again and build another isis and this is we're concerned about . we have plenty more stories coming your way here on international today including refugees are using a new a highly questionable technique which allows them to stay in e.u. countries so you'll be surprised by the details after the break.

what do. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to do it to be for us this is what the three of the more people are. interested always in the water. sit. i think obama the durand line never fulfilled his his threats i suppose are predictions. on the other hand i also don't support. president trump's you know unilateral actions either but i'm in favor of multilateral responses not unilateral action we all hope for the syrian people that we can find

a good resolution to this in fact we can develop democratic processes in syria and elsewhere in the middle east as well as time goes on. the number of terror related investigations in the german state of boston verdun bug has skyrocketed recently although as it turns out the cases self reporting refugees. has been taking a look at what's behind this rather unusual development. as the number of asylum applicants coming here to germany decreases what we have seen is an actual increase in the number coming here saying that they were part of a terrorist outfit and it has politicians absolutely baffled i can't 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 jump back to twenty seventeen while three hundred people saying exactly the same thing why would anybody claim to be a member of a foreign terrorist group well because maybe that investigation could be solved tomorrow but most likely never investigations are proving to be very time consuming because they almost always allege foreign acts for example in syria iraq afghanistan or somalia if we look at countries like afghanistan 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 but you have an authority zone 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 r.t. . well this phenomenon is not just consigned to germany let's take a look at the current 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 us an opportunity to stay in the e.u. and the fast. way to get the necessary paperwork started a large waiting line reportedly formed for days after a surge in illegal border crossings from turkey does follow ankara's military operation against the syrian kurds geo political analyst rana roth first believes the refugee crisis has been

a very costly for europe we continually see the judicial system of the european countries is simply not true. to the challenges that the refugee crisis is in the past years and by and twenty seventeen it became clear that the german government has to employ over two thousand. traditional experts to deal with the increasing crime places concerning. about all. terrorism but this also pleases leanly that on the german traditional system it means a sharp increase in employment costs. a new history textbook for students in the us is raising concerns over what's said to be its one sided look at events 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 as being quite a strong reaction to the book particularly from parents many claim it's brainwashing and cold such a style of education indoctrination for it's anti trump propaganda meanwhile the publisher of the book claims it was produced by a professional author and corresponds to academic standards and also points out that the multiple sides presented in the book promote debate and critical thinking but political and social commentator anthony bryan logan things school textbooks

have to provide facts and not someone's opinion. will 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 ben has do those kind of things on it as you would expect from there but for obama it is making news since. textbooks not supposed to spark debate is will be just information for children to learn if you are now school college 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 control that are teachers the administrators

superintendents in college or professors that are deans there. so there's no balance when talking about people they're actually implement the education. form adult movie star 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 has released a sketch of a man she claims was hired to threaten her back in twenty eleven to keep quiet. can we take a look at that if you. will go. into your recollection is it is that the person that brand new absolutely.

thanks for joining us on our international on this thursday we're back soon with much more. welcome to maximize or i to somebody. looking forward to your. this is what happens to pensions in britain. if you watch kaiser report. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but millions forced signed up to be free again poisoned by our own people i've seen that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not harm the truck

tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. growth and they don't want to pay it so the way to the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to the movies tomorrow or the slow. delayed and i hope you die.
