british newspaper the telegraph which on friday claims the persons of interest ready back in russia based on passenger flight lists leaving the u.k. last of course despite both the un's watchdog the f b c w and u.k. government lab being unable to determine the origin of the poison used in the soulsby attack london still insists that russia is responsible claiming that only moscow could have produced the substance russia's representative to the p.c. deb you said that the u.k. is withholding information making it very difficult to establish the truth. russia will not accept any national or international results of an 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 actions to establish the truth that happened in saul's on march the fourth former m i five agent anima shan says that even though
9:31 am
the u.k.'s position has weakened somewhat london is than likely to backtrack on its allegations against russia they sort of backed themselves 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 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 very vulnerable diplomatic time for britain 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 theorists category for anyone who questions this very thread their official narrative that britain has pulled together. well as the week's top stories and how this sunday shaping up after the break we take an in-depth look at that school power case and that the chemical in question as r.t.
9:32 am
examines the u.k.'s claims over the nerve agents origin station for that. it's. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four have 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 list did not shoot around a corner. because if you go through history of mankind it's been a cruel and destructive over and over again and somehow our cities have come back
9:33 am
and many are quite beautiful and wonderful places. if you look in the middle east in places like syria it's it's i agree with you it's totally depressing and. and i wish that 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 . there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was a judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible for the
9:34 am
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 in kind to put that moscow wasn't asked to defend itself it was told only to confess where all confident about the identity of the culprit and the only question is whether he will first confess the press led the mob pundits marched forward brooke 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 by your to support the finger of blame on the third player notion i'm not sure. it's the government for you russia. poisoning of surrogates of people is not an
9:35 am
isolated case but the latest in a pack 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 newly choke nerve agent used in the attack on sergei scrip doll and his daughter came from russia and then it will went south we have not verified the precise source that you have not been able to establish at 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
9:36 am
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 edge and not the chalk 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
9:37 am
that doesn't matter it could only have be 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 joke sounds russian means russia did it in establishing that it is not a chalk and that is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of a 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 weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military types and hear their biggest gripes. the nuvi choke nerve agents a new secret they haven't been for decades there's many well published formulas of
9:38 am
nerve agents so that it's no problem i mean mary where you have sarin so manji vs. they're 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 thingy's 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 show 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 modern britain. and the government to let him appear
9:39 am
to. side seriously they make novacek we make light states. one is a hideous weapon specifically designed for assassination the other is a implausible theatrical project with a mysterious buzz that we would know many but perhaps not the entire truth or if machine was up and 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 we innocent of the rule put in down has its secrets for the snow we had 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 a british operation and you've waved it out of the door. or certainly isn't anything that came from our facility because as i said we've got the highest
9:40 am
standards of control and security and there's no way that anything like that could ever have come from court and the bird of prey 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 an egg itself the chemicals are very simple one cell 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 simply isn't true. for years now researches have published studies and the cheese or newbie chuck which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries there.
9:41 am
in twenty zero seven the us or the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of their 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 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
9:42 am
a new military chemical agent produced in russia so so i'm not surprised that in france in. in the united states they have this kind of information that could explain this 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 an overt york we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any special in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to says you need soon. his expertise and substantial funding to make the pew nerve agent.
9:43 am
picked up. one of the last two there was only absolutely a person on the. plateau sans another of the books and the european so that obviously if. anyone wanted to play as a spot stuff i'd been. feeling pretty cold as ice asked how long that will. want to stop jumping to the saturday slush tennis a little a keystone time a new sound the slow females a ballet she cheered on faultless as she model. the next minute as
9:44 am
a model spoken there is much to. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else i want to do because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy my great so what more chance for. the bass this minute. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but no
9:45 am
signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people saying stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not 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 burn 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. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay. for health and get the middle finger to be used to model the slow. delayed and i hope you die.
9:46 am
i think the fact that it's referred to as i 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 people product it was a myth and of course you can't make this in any basements the chemicals are highly toxic and the lab has to be well equipped with ventilation the talks if your kitchen equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not every lead can sympathize this but there are twenty also labs that kind of. but then the muse not on the experience of international experts. say twenty or sol the border is a round the world can produce nava chocks the argument that there is no alternative
9:47 am
explanation to russian made newbie talk 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 p c w but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals but these small stalks for 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 of
9:48 am
the o.p.c. w. in the hague and the o.p.c. w. is full of praise for the russians did for the 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 bits 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
9:49 am
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 air with through skin. but even so i'm putting it if inhaled symptoms appear and deaths from these 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 school the interesting thing with nova chalks is that there are so many of them and they come
9:50 am
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 hailed 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 there in support lots exposure can milimeter to constriction of the peoples and worsening of eyesight or medium exposures counselors by brokers spas have exposure means convolutions and the loss of consciousness if we agree that this was
9:51 am
an attack but there are gonna phosphorus chemicals then judging by the symptoms they were heavily exposed in principle is considered lethal without adequate treatment without a really big was it really high level exposure the reported symptoms don't match they simply missing people are seeing what sort of intimate 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 in a park 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 stretching vomiting and bowel looseness yet no one reported such symptoms a lot of them were when witnesses found them they said this group 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
9:52 am
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 then then there's the treatment that they were given. not there's not a typical you have to know what to do two years before using it otherwise you can worsen a victim's condition so we can say with a high degree of confidence the 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 the recovery can be prolonged it may not be uncomplicated it depends on what damage may have been sustained early on
9:53 am
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's in 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
9:54 am
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 bias 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 suspect has been called up it likely won't be the last time or will produce the premier 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 russia involvement but then they leased 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
9:55 am
a whole set of different questions of that. if you had people in chemical protection suits working at the scenes and thereby pedestrians walking about while police had no protection at all it all seems staged there is still no answer on where the 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 it is for its 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
9:56 am
makes it hard to defend yourself well you get the feeling that they just don't want to let russia near the. ation belgariad speaking for the e.u. recently said russia is guilty because there were no other explanations no evidence no investigation they just accuse us of committing a crime that we did not do we don't understand the british position the more transparent the investigation the fewer questions the international community has including russia where guys do you have. in july twenty seventh seen on an attempt to freelance journalist watching this on t.v. militant shelling in syria. so on a second focus has established
9:57 am
a khaled. they will recognize will reporters who often risk so to say because the truth comes through that piece you can submit to your published works in a video or written form go to a wall and on t.v. don't come into it now. if you go through history of mankind it's been a cruel and destructive over and over again and somehow oh 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 that 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.
9:58 am
los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact. now ladies 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. running into this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution to train the house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. global

war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles is going. to do socks for the tell you the subject gossip the tabloids but i fell for the most important news today. on the fox the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and let's buy their products. all the hawks that we along with all worth watching.

in the stories that shapes the week witnesses of the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma raised doubts over the video evidence that's been circulated and r.t.t. has been speaking to doctors locals and some of those who work here in the footage people from the white helmets told us about the use of chemical weapons we saw no sign of that we run started pouring water all over the people but the seemed to be ok walked away without any help. a growing number of us find them sick as in germany are claiming to be terrorists in the hope of avoiding deportation allegedly exploiting loopholes in the system also ahead.
