well we're in the middle of what seems to be a standoff between some of the protesters and the police just take out a look behind me angie you can see a row of the police vans the gendarmerie the lot that end their riot gear blocking off this particular route and some of the protesters are told seeing them now they've also been using as smoke flares to wear to attention to what they're doing if lit fires at some of the bins and they've also been throwing projectiles to wards the police this protest was meant to be about reforms of macaroons government it's once again turned into a clash between the police and a small group of anti capitalist protest as. well on wednesday president issued a plea to those on strike saying they should stop holding the country hostage and

police there are taking an increasingly tough line in this latest video from parra sir officers in riot gear are saying pinning demonstrators to the ground whilst making arrests of thousands also rallied to denounce the president's reforms and more say in a stop mark on march it was organized by left wing party leader. i think we're in a process where president michael's radicalism has pushed everyone together every week the head of state seems to distract us and go further with reforms so we need to stick to we know one of those plain evil like this. in one thousand nine hundred five he had to finally step back this is not fair to announce to the people i will pass over use i will destroy you these are not ways to act a president shouldn't like this story i could not stay silent on that because i'm sick to hold. large sectors of. transport energy public workers

health workers all these sectors are represented today on the macron doesn't want to change you will see when all the countries paralyzed you will be forced to negotiate. on friday britain's telegraph newspaper reported that u.k. police alongside intelligence agencies have identified key suspects in the poisoning of double agents surrogate script and his daughter the paper reports that the suspects are back in russia citing passenger lists from flights in and out of the u.k. well this latest claim comes after britain released a document earlier in the week it confirmed that neither the u.k. or the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. were able to determine the origin of the poison used in the salzburg attack but london still insists that russia is responsible claiming that only moscow could

have produced this substance well russian responded with some revealing details the novel type agents were in fact produced unregistered as a chemical weapon in the u.s. alexander shooting at russia's permanent representative to the o.p.c. w c's the u.k. is withholding information on the probe making it difficult for moscow to establish the truth 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 is all that happened in souls on march the fourth. we spoke to former and my five agent who sees that even though the u.k.'s position was weakened somewhat london is unlikely the truck 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 she 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 making some 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 theorists category for anyone who questions this very thread their official narrative that britain has pulled together. in fact we're not just about to take an in-depth look at our top story of the chemical in question mark t. has launched its own investigation into bin u.k.'s claims of the nerve agent orange and that's right afterwards.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for until you shouldn't let it be an arms race is on the spirit of dramatic developments only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what holds you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to be right for us that's what the. real people. are interested in the waters and.

there should. there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible the juveniles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder more than one hundred russian diplomats were expelled by britain and its allies they were told to pack and leave russia replied unkind tit for tat moscow wasn't asked to defend itself it was told only to confess where old confidence about the identity of the culprit and then the question is whether he will first confess the press led the mob

pundits marched forward brit claiming russia's culpability and guilt they needed new proof what they wanted was fear ratings they said the government had all the proof it needed your to support the fingerprint on the third. option an option. is that. russia. poisoning of surrogates of people is not an isolated case but the latest in a pattern of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians a russian russia russia russian russian denali i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia. the u.k. foreign office tweeted that the nuvi choke nerve agent used in the attack on sergei

script al and his daughter came from russia and then it will went south we have not verified the precise source and you have not been able to establish. porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is so to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that britain's top chemical labs said that they had no idea where the nerve agent came from in direct contradiction to boris johnson's claims claims that he used to convince his allies to boot out russian diplomats the foreign offices initial tweet was quickly deleted and all of it was blamed on a misunderstanding someone had transcribed it wrong except boris had said the

same thing on video you argue that their source of a snuff shock is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt britain's government went into damage control they had other secret information they claim intelligence reports classified of course but that doesn't matter it could only have been russia there is no alternative conclusion other than that the russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of mr script and his daughter the pundits needed even less than a movie jock sounds russian means russia did it in establish that it is not a chalk and that is by definition of the translation of the name which means

newcomer part of the program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points me there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last week. we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military types and here their biggest gripes. the nuvi choke nerve agents a new secret they haven't been for decades there's many well published formulas of nerve agents so that it's no problem i mean mary where you have sarin so manji v.x. there are abundant abundant and the structures are known and the toxicity profiles are known so so many people can make nerve agents and they know what structures to go to go toward thing it is anyone can you legally synthesize nerve agents there's new ban so long as it's for research. research the o p c

w convention does not forbid researching toxins for the purpose of defense against them i think many countries which have advanced chemical programs carry out such research for defense as we showed there is unclassified information the u.s. britain france the czech republic and others carry out such research that might come as a surprise given what boris johnson and others had said earlier you need to know. about the difference between body britain. and the government let him appear to. side seriously they make novacek. we make light statements one is a hideous weapon specifically designed for assassination the other is a implausible theatrical project with a mysterious buzz that he would normally but perhaps not the entire truth was written with they identified the substance very quickly which would mean with

absolute certainty that porton down has the substance which it could compare structures samples with not so innocent of the rule put in down has its secrets plus no way that and a feeling like that would never have come from us or you know leave the four walls of our facilities would you say to the the the theory that it's this is somehow british operation and you've waved it out of the door. certainly isn't anything that came from our facility because as i said we've got the highest standards of control and security and there's no way that anything like that could ever have come from court and the he. may have the samples you do it's not a secret you can literally google step by step instructions on the synthesis of the deadliest nerve agents here they are screenshots from books and studies and they libelled to the public neither the formula nor the chemicals are any more russian

than air itself the chemicals are very simple and sell the first reports on these are kept blaming kept saying that the chemicals were uniquely russian technology and and when i look at the chemical structures that that's simply isn't true. for years now researches have published studies and the cheese are new each arc which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries there she said one good will in twenty zero seven the u.s. or the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity the author invited them under the system here i can show you there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed means someone somewhere synthesize them and shared the information since then these formulas or some of them have appeared in various publications constantly you simply cannot say they

are a secret there's more to it if you suspect a potential adversary has made a new discovery you have to do the same in order to study the new substances properties and make an antidote it's true to say that russia is not the only country being able to sympathize a few grams of no beach up in the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on because there were these rumors about a new military chemical agent produced in russia so so i'm not surprised that in france in nuking in the united states they have this kind of information that could explain the speed in which the product was identified that's the purpose and that's the job of this kind of laboratories. and that we is in this difficult as it sounds if it's really a novacek we're dealing with it's not

a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent all the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to says you need. few years expertise and substantial funding to make the pure knew that the agent. most definitely wasn't a victim. of any kind of operation or attack from the russian side because it would both really destroy the russian cause of the beauty as far as exchanges are concerned and they are dependent on it because they certainly have to get their people back if they get into trouble.

when the past two months to go was a deal to be a person and then to plant the seeds and over the proxy of the europeans so the dog . in the zoo wanted to play as a sunk cost by itself but the. real thing feels. that i have all. i want to stop jumping to salvation much to listen to what he told me i mean you sound so female to barely speak your own is she really. doesn't actually measure that. kind of there's much to be and.

i think the fact that it's referred to as a military grade material rules out any sort of kitchen sink approach to making this by military grade my reading of that is that this is a pretty. it was a mess and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and they love to be well equipped with ventilation the talks of recreation equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not everyone can synthesize this but there are twenty also loves to count. on them is not on the experience of international experts say twenty or sole abort around the world can produce nava chocks the argument that there is no alternative explanation to russian made new york fails at least six countries said verifiably synthesize the nerve agent and failed to declare it to the u p c w. and for months.

any time a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure is took cecile chemical weapon potential dimmest immediately according to the convention register it with your p c w but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals but these small stalks research major chemical arsenals are another thing unlike the us for example russia has already destroyed its chemical weapons stockpiles my understanding is that russia was has been pretty careful in many instances and the destruction of it stockpile of forty thousand tons was done under supervision the o.p.c. w. in the hague and the open c.w. is full of praise for what the russians did for their destruction program they watched it all every shell that russia declared to was founded inspections has been

destroyed. britain's decision to classify almost every aspect of what happened and the investigation has got the ruling mill running but there are did be it that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching their heads look at what newbie chalk ease it is simply deadly and know each other is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than than the x. which is already very very toxic so a small amount should have killed mr creep out for sure but again it's very difficult to assess and evaluate this kind of question before knowing exactly how the product was delivered during the assassination there are two main means of

delivery by will through skin but even so i'm putting it if inhaled symptoms appear and that's follies in minutes if you get some skin symptoms and death can say from minutes to hours generally people exposed to nerve agents die outright they die very quickly if they get less of a dose if the person didn't touch a significant quantity of it when they were opening the door or that if they got it washed off rather quickly then then the the exposure level is lower and the person might not die very quickly make no mistake you don't need much of it at all the interesting thing with nova chalks is that there are so many of them and they come in so many different forms they can come in a powered as solid as a crystal and even as a liquid but just to give you some reference if this was a variety of the nuvi chalks. a single drop is enough to kill

ten people ten people within minutes if this was in the haled even more. at first one might think that the script bars could only have survived because the deuce was very small but experts know what they're looking for mr glad kid is a toxicologist who helps make and he do still nerve agents missing orchestrating a most of her support lots exposure can milimeter to constriction of the peoples and worsening of eyesight or medium exposures counselors by brokers spasms have exposure means convolutions and the loss of consciousness if we agree that this was an attack with the account of phosphorus chemicals then judging by the symptoms they were heavily exposed in principle is considered lethal without adequate treatment with a but was it really high level exposure the reported symptoms don't match

they simply missing people are seeing what sort of instrument the relationships we put talks about the various exposure levels if they were foaming at the mouth and once it's a coma they were probably heavily exposed if so how did they get up our bench from the shopping center why didn't they call an ambulance also we're talking about gonna pass by exposure through the skin there are other symptoms such as retching vomiting and bowel looseness yet my one report of such symptoms. of over what it is that when witnesses found them they said that surrogate scrip i was rocking back and forth waving his hands it seemed more like the effects of narcotics if it was a small dose than first would come meiosis then the rest of the symptoms convulsions uncontrolled you're a nation but we didn't see that in photos or hear of it in reports there are many questions oh lord how some symptoms manifested but others which go hand

in hand simply weren't there then there's the treatment that they were given. not. is not typical you have to know what to do to us before using it otherwise you can worsen the victim's condition so we can say with a high degree of confidence that british intelligence knew what chemical agent was used and how to treat it if indeed this was a new feature nerve agent at work the square pounds were very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here there's no other explanation people do recover from know the agent their recovery can be prolonged it may not be uncomplicated it depends on what damage may have been sustained early on the best outcome for people is very prompt treatment. we've mentioned britain's proof or lack there of what is widely talked about is that

there's limits to evidence i don't think that the british government or british experts said they were in possession of any proof there accuse a shanice bayed on suspicion not on proof because it is this kind of affair you know it's very difficult to find a smoking gun it's very difficult to trace and have real proof of coop ability in this so that we are talking here about suspicion not proof that can be scientifically proven but the only way you could get the exact source is if the nerve agent were not very pure if it's made by a nation state that knows what they're doing and the purity is there then you don't have any impurities to mark against it would be very hard to to name it to a specific location or a particular laboratory whether some one country or another it's not possible to to

identify that to a certain country that's that's not possible the chemistry is the same doesn't stop people from trying this isn't the first time the usual suspects. being called up it likely won't be the last time or will produce to put in your goodness but i can give you an example in two thousand and one when reports emerged of postal terrorism in the united states some was mailing envelopes with anthrax do us immediately accuse rush or involvements but then they least agreed to talk about it with us after a month or so they concluded that there was no russian trace and didn't even apologize rather it was rogue scientists working in a military lab who were mailing this anthrax but that's in the past no lessons were learned this time around and there's a whole set of different questions of. if you had people in chemical protection suits working at the scenes and nearby pedestrians walking about while police had

no protection at all it all seems staged there is still no answer on where this substance was found now they're saying it was in buckwheat it all says that they either can't find the substance or there was no substance that they were poisoned with something else yes and it is corporate suborder if you follow o.p.c. w. procedures there inspectors must go to sites and collect samples of chemicals themselves following an attack but britain only officially informed the o.p.c. w. days after the event it collected all the chemical and biological samples itself and then hundred the samples to the o.p.c. w. which goes against regulations. what is for certain is that russia is being shunned from any investigation despite being the accused it's being told nothing which makes it hard to defend yourself well you get the feeling that they just don't want to let russia near the investigation bog areas speaking for the e.u.

recently said russia is guilty because there are no other explanations no evidence no investigation they just accuse us of committing a crime that we did not do we don't understand. british position the more transparent the investigation if you would questions the international community has including russia where guys do you have. for man are sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. if

you go through history mankind is a little cruel and destructive over and over again in some our cities have come back and many are quite beautiful and wonderful places. if you look at the middle east and places like syria it's it's i agree with you it's totally depressed. and i wish the political issues involved with it could be resolved but i think until that is done there's very little hope that the saudis will be able to turn the tide at. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response of the problem and constructed

dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution perth to someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it will be a free for all there are a better alternative to envy homelessness crisis. might not. be with us. right. here.

in the stories that shape the week raised over the alleged chemical attack in syria earlier this month as a witness accounts call into question a video that was widely used as evidence on our team within the city to speak to doctors on local. communities that we were called side and they told all for us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken up stairs and they started pouring water on me. also ahead a growing number of asylum seekers in germany are claiming to be terrorists in the hope of avoiding deportation allegedly exploiting loopholes in the system.
