i i. just days after slamming syria's white helmets is propaganda this rock legend roger bourses reveals the activists have been trying to lobby support in the war also to cut. somebody was shot in the truck had to go to the hospital. when i came in some people grabbed me and started pouring water on my hands of a russian t.v. channel says this interview disagreeing boy seen in the white helmets footage reportedly showing the aftermath of a chemical attack the child and his father give their account of how events unfolded in doing that day and in germany refugees are increasingly turning themselves into the terrorists and the shocking tactic to avoid deportation.

hello there is five pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international i will start this hour with revelations and controversial syrian activist group the white house and its try to lobby roger waters the co-founder of the legendary rock group pink floyd a lobby group called the syria campaign sent an e-mail to the musician inviting him to a fund raising dinner on behalf of the white helmets affiliated organization in the same letter the group in detail described the work it claims to be doing in syria it insists that the group's their mission is to elevate the voices of serious peaceful heroes and help to bring pace however waters was less than delighted with the invitation. i was quite suspicious after i was invited to that white helmets dinner now my worst suspicions have been confirmed i don't blame them for having bought into it on the face of it it felt because of all the white helmets were just

good people doing good things but now we know they're trying to encourage the west to drop bombs or missiles illegally in syria ok well let's discuss all this a bit further now with our correspondent. with us now we saw a comment there from mr waters but he's also been very critical hasn't he whilst on stage to well indeed and he joined he was that he was critical on stage after a french journalist working with the white helmets sent him another e-mail and in that e-mail the said journalist actually was seeking to join roger water on stage during one of his solo gigs and sort of deliver a message this is part of a part an extract from the email he wanted to send a message to the children of syria that they're not forgotten and sort of make a case for the white helmets and what you're mentioning with roger waters making a statement onstage it was sort of an indirect response to all those writing e-mail to him have a listen. you know maybe this. same. percentage

is really probably. has this to the top of the point home it's in others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping bombs on syria. i so why do you think he's decided to speak so openly then about his views on the white helmets well first and foremost you've got to understand what the white helmets it is a group itself market itself as the civil defense group these are some of the videos that they're posting online showing them doing rescue work as they are pulling people from under the rubble of what they see are syrian government air strikes but at the same time there are numerous videos online showing them mingling with terrorist organizations for example like this one this is an execution by. terrorists and these are the white helmets volunteers helping them and basically clearing up the execution site so videos like these have sent basically journalists

working on syria in syria excuse me criticize to criticize the white house and indeed do showcase their apparent affiliation with terrorists sure mr waters not the first celebrity to come out and pass comment on the white helmets but the other ones that have been saying something different totally most celebrities in the west they share a favorable view with the white house for example coldplay they have endorsed the group and they've praised them as heroes ben affleck one of the hollywood stars also indorsed the white helmets as well as george clooney who in turn even filmed a documentary on the white helmets the documentary on the white helmets even won an oscar for the best documentary a few years back apparently that was even in. one of the e-mails roger water was suggested that he should have watched this documentary and it was described as

a powerful one now everything with these e-mails they were provided by roger waters himself to an r.t. contributor max blumenthal and according to him roger waters is the first is arguably the first person of such scale to publicly speak out against the group. for the first time a mainstream figure on an international stage on the eve of war has validated what we've been reporting how this western funded organization funded by western and gulf governments has basically been an instrument of encouraging regime change and it's not just a group of average volunteer rescue workers it's an international influence organization whose representatives show up in congress to lobby for no fly zones and just sanctions on syria as well as parliaments across europe while they're operating on the ground alongside al qaida and their allies if this was an

enormously rousing speech by roger waters that has legitimized the journalism that we've been so mercilessly attacked for publishing and it's forced to have attacked us and accuse us of being conspiracist to actually look at what we've reported look at the facts and they really have nothing to say back to us they can't simply dismiss it as a kremlin conspiracy anymore when roger waters is saying this however roger waters is now under attack particularly by israeli and qatari media israel wants regime change in syria and qatar does as well and has been a funder of the white helmets so the question is can he hold strong and will there be public support will people support roger waters and what he said i suspect he's under enormous pressure right now to walk back his remarks in a very dangerously mccarthyite atmosphere when we have the white helmets to comment on this story saif we haven't heard back from them. now in the meantime

a correspondent from the russia twenty four t.v. channel claims to have found a syrian boys seen in the white helmets footage said to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in an interview which cannot be independently verified the child and his father call how vents did unfold in duma on april the seventh and his murder gassed if there's more. 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 i heard no sound so somebody was shouting that you have 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 ass and 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 britain not say anything further my family lives 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 for thought spittle. i went to the hospital walked up stairs and found my wife and children i asked them what had happened and they said you go outside was shouting about some smell and told them to go to the hospital and 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 see. the symptoms here 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 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. 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 then walked away without any help people and got so confused somebody started pouring water people's heads saying there had

been a chemical attack i was at the spot with my wife and daughter but none of us experienced any sort 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 well the u.s. and its allies cite their own intelligence sources to justify saturday's strike on syria the syrian government of deploying a toxic agent over the area which at the time was held by rebels u.s. british and french military has hit syria retaliatory air strikes however some now question the chemical attack allegations notably mainstream british journalist robert fisk who visited and interviewed locals we asked former british counter-terrorism opposite bridge to comment on the situation. journalists got in

on the ground robert fisk is a notable person i'm thinking of there he says 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 where 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 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. port isn't particularly helpful for example it may actually find that there were no trace of chemical and of chemical warfare. so now the news today thousands are taking to the streets across france against the present reforms as part of the three month long transport strikes that have paralyzed the country

or correspondent is in the thick of the protests in paris at the moment i think she joins us live now good afternoon to charlotte can you just tell us what's the situation like at the moment where you are. what we've just come away from the crowd and that's because if you just take a look behind me you might see that a lot of the people have got their faces covered they're wearing black and that's because they know now as being the black box of the anti these are the anti capitalist seen in france and they don't like us filming them close and that's because the security services might be able to identify them now it's this group of individuals that are the ones that we see clashes as you can see they are throwing project done at the police as the police are coming round and this is something that we have been seeing not just today but in all of the clashes project just being thrown blocks bricks glass bottles anything they can grow they get their hands of and indeed we've also been through seen them throwing up project those

that have been turning into some sort of sound cremates not firecrackers actually a lot more significant than that in terms of the sound there you might see some tear gas that now looks like it's exploding from the police again that's how they retaliate and in fact one of the weapons that the anti capitalist say using to date is and. actually a recycling bin that they've moved on you might be able to see but they've been rolling it down the streets and it looks like they're using it to try and get some empty bottles glass bottles to be able to throw out the police this is a strike of is meant to be about the reforms government is pushing through but every time it seems to be overshadowed by these clashes between the anti capitalists and the police the tear gas just pluming their looks and lots of smoke and again just one of the clashes many clashes that we've seen already today in this protest that should just be about the reforms of the railway it should just be

about the changes to university education instead it's once again taken over by these anti capitalist she just seemed to be out to destroy everything we're just looking at the pictures dramatic pictures behind you that say how long are these demonstrations expected to last for today. with these demonstrations is to take place until the end of june that's three months us a demonstration and others are being carried out by the s.n.c.f. that's the railway workers here in france however there are also other industries on strike as fronts are on strike because of their pay terms and conditions as students are on strike because they're unhappy that michael wants to change the selection process into universities in fact many universities have been blocked as a result of those changes that marco moves to make and the majority of people here today came out in support of a number of these strikes but as you can see it doesn't end up in terms of what we

see on the front pages being about the strikes it ends up being these clashes between the police and the anti-capitalists and as you can see that just tear gas pluming into the air we can already where we are about sort of ten fifteen meters away feel that a gas because it spreads rapidly and what it does it it actually gets down. in all of your systems how membranes so into rice and she knows inches throat and it can actually cause some long term damage there are studies suggesting that going on. if you have long term exposure to cheer gashed take a look over here and you know see more police coming in reinforcements here to try and keep this crowd in one area it doesn't seem to be as many police out today as we normally see however it does look like they are now bringing those reinforcements in to draw and deal with this group which have really gone quite

crazy here in paris and yeah one thing i've noticed just from what we're looking at here charlotte is that a lot of people seem to be there peacefully they're just sort of looking on what's happening can you give us an idea of the percentage of the people who are there to course trouble emerge that really do you just want to make a political point. well it's really hard to have an idea of how many people are protesting today but as we walk through the streets it clearly looks like there are thousands possibly more than ten thousand people in the streets and i would say it's a very small percentage of those people actually causing this trouble with the police probably a group of around one hundred to two hundred individuals and they quite easy to spot they normally come out they cover their faces they've already got gas masks and goggles they're prepared for the tear gas and today it seemed that they'd all been told to wear a form of black like you would to brief because that's just the police have been using water cannons at some of the process in france over the last couple of weeks

so they prepared they're ready and they're looking to see what damage they can cause i mean before even clashes happened they were spray painting graffiti on the walls they were smashing up the offices of some insurance departments and then as a throwing this project i was at the police glass bottle stones what ever they can get their hands on including some type of sound grenades which are quite nasty if you stand near to them when they're exploding ok thanks for the update to stay safe for us there reporting from the heart of paris thank you. he would often say yes thanks the company today will be back just after this break. with. tradition sentenced to public will. when the

ruling closest project. with the famous. roots to. the fed prints the money and then the pentagon blows it up in various countries around the world ourselves us soldiers out there to get maimed and blown up 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.

welcome back now russia's ambassador to the un has lashed out at the u.k. over its handling of the script poisoning case exchange tirades with the british embassy in a highly charged session to moscow was once again denied access to the investigation . this was a quote from william shakespeare's henry the sixth suspicion always haunts the guilty mind allow me to return to literary flavor today the russian account of you kate behavior is a rewrite of george orwell's one thousand eight hundred. eighty eight for the modern day a modern russian method. when i listen to some of my colleagues it seems this is no

longer an alice in wonderland is alice through the looking glass well britain has released a document revealing that neither it nor the a.p.c. w. investigation was able to determine the origin of the agent used in the sold spray attack but the u.k. still insists that russia is responsible claiming that only moscow could have produced the substance however russia has responded to this with some rather revealing details we can have a look at a couple here the type agents were in fact produced and painted over one hundred times in the u.s. and the u.k. continues to withhold information on the probe to making it hard for russia to discuss london's conclusions that. russia will not accept any national or international results of any investigation without access to full information including materials from the british without consular access to our citizens and most importantly without the obligatory participation of russian

experts in all actions to establish the truth in all that happened in souls on march the fourth while former m i five agent annie mash says that even though the u.k.'s position has weakened a bit london is unlikely to backtrack on its allegations against russia. they sort of backed and fell into a corner 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 for diplomatically to row back from this position particularly in very vulnerable diplomatic time for britain with threats that looming far 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 theory category for anyone who questions this very thread their official narrative that britain has pulled together. now the number of

terror related investigations in the german state of biden virgin birth has skyrocketed recently but it does turn out that half of the cases are refugees turning themselves in peter oliver has been taking a look at what is behind this 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 him solve a serious crime in the hope of gaining an advantage and 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 travelled 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 are almost always alleged foreign. x. for example in syria iraq afghanistan or somalia if we look at couldn't trees like of ghana star germany and all the e.u. nations have already referred to as a safe country to return to then we can see why people would come forward and say that they have information and would rather face a trial than deportation bridge over the three cs are 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 way back in the summer of twenty fifteen when angela merkel opened germany up to refugees peter all of r.t.

. well this trend isn't just consigned to germany it is appearing in greece too we can have a look at the situation there hundreds of asylum seekers recently gathered outside a police station in the city of thessaloniki for the very same reason many view arrest as an opportunity to stay in the e.u. and the fastest way to to get the necessary paperwork started a large waiting line reportedly formed for days after a surge in illegal border crossings from turkey it follows ankara's military operation against syrian kurds geo political analyst and consultant run rough first believes that the refugee crisis has been very costly for europe. we continually see that the judicial system of the european countries is simply not shared to the challenges that the refugee crisis is the most in the past years by angle said twenty seventeen it became clear that the german government has to employ over two thousand further judicial experts to deal

with the increasing price increases concerning. about all. terrorism this is also all these is just legal and the move to destroy the system it means a sharp increase also or in employment costs i think. clashes with police have broken out on the sixth day of mass anti-government rallies in the yemeni capital of year event demonstrators are angered at the former president's speech to become prime minister. was. security in the city has been tightened as thousands of demonstrators try to block king streets and reach government buildings police and seen a resting people here the heaviest clashes so far took place on monday when forty people were injured around eighty but also detained though some have now been

released and stepped down as president this month at the end of his term but parliament then apprentice candidacy for prime minister on tuesday has already started to appoint his cabinet all of whom have kept their posts from the previous term was the opposition claim assad's janish trying to cling on to power was was so that's how the news is looking so far she's coming up to five thirty pm here in moscow more from me and how often are. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star in months and a huge amount of pressure cameron that you have to put me in eight percent of the beach but how would you and you told the all the great the great if you are the

rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the reno p.r.t. teams latest edition make it up as we go so i need to just say look. we all willingly accepted the real sick of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be free again poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not 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 exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a be a broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay. paul burrell to get the middle finger to the b.s. from my hole is. delayed and i hope he does. max kaiser this is the kaiser report the show that brings you liberation theology right into your living room for your whole family to enjoy freedom but. speaking of

freedom a lot of. americans british people think we're bringing freedom just like remember when we bombed iraq and they were just the flowers throwing flowers at us and they never quite did nevertheless one thing that. apparently does is the stock market right there were a lot of headlines from friday the thirteenth when we syria and everybody like at the street dot com we're like defense shares up by five billion dollars we're all making money so we're going to go over a few of those headlines oh that's great news to understand that under the democrats it was the muslims are going to wipe us all out now wonder you know what i got that reversed it was somebody who was afraid of muslims and some people are afraid of russians you know they they like an existential threat from afar they don't like to look at the stuff that's happening inside america like i often tweet when people are saying they're russians russians i say what my flint michigan the

u.s. government tried.
