that i visited with them through the school. shortly. and in the hose on us so i didn't. have a chance to over all the difference is that in shots or you know i wouldn't claim to danish name and his name could be said that i need look like i talk to you i need you further than your child over the next twenty years bigot most attention from earth moving into day into the day with the name and sometimes of city bears and so immediate needs the shots that for the last year he was missed me perhaps i just don't use to be too unusual which is where the. u.k. police have identified several suspects in the poisoning of double agent sergei screwball and his daughter as according to the telegraph newspaper which on friday claimed
9:31 pm
the persons of interest were already back in russia this is despite the global chemical weapons agency the o.p.c. w. and a u.k. military lab being unable to determine the origin of the poison used in the salisbury attack and russia's representative to the o.p.c. w. has accused the u.k. of withholding information but. 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 it all that happened in souls rate a much the fall former m i five agent told us the u.k. is unlikely to backtrack on its allegations against russia. they've 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
9:32 pm
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. 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 bare official narrative that britain has pulled together which is launched its own investigation into view because quite in the nerve agent was produced in russia our documentary is right after a short break stay with us. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics or business i'm sure i'll see you there.
9:33 pm
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 in kind to put that moscow wasn't 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
9:34 pm
new proof what they wanted was fear ratings they said the government had all the proof it needed your to support the finger of blame for exactly. cannot should. it's the government for you russia. poisoning of surrogates 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 holland his daughter came from russia and then it will went south we have
9:35 pm
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 alex 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
9:36 pm
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 i mean 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 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 establish that it is not a chalk a matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means new comma part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points me there are
9:37 pm
a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last week. 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 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
9:38 pm
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 prop with a mysterious buzz many would know many but perhaps not the entire truth or if the thing was brought 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
9:39 pm
its secrets for the snow we've and if ing 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 standards of control and security and there's no way that anything like that could ever have come from court and the bar a have the samples you do it's not a secret you can literally googled 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 so all the first reports
9:40 pm
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 geezer know each arc which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries then she said mom got them in twenty seven the u.s. saw the published a paper on numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of their toxicity we will not add them on 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
9:41 pm
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 know each other and 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 a new king 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 it isn't 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 all the necessary components
9:42 pm
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. you know he has expertise and substantial funding to make the pew nerve agent. but politicians to do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be pressured. into going to be press was like before three in the morning can't be
9:43 pm
good. i'm interested always in the wives about how. question. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well chance with. the base it's going to. thank you you
9:45 pm
. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. you're at it up to us we all know it but i tell you i'm sorry i cut so i write these last words it helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave the feeling on the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this would like to. speak to us there are no other takers.
9:46 pm
claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. i think the fact that it's referred to as a military pretty pill product was a myth and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the lab has to be well equipped with ventilation the talks of recreation equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not every consensus is this but there are twenty also labs that count with this but then the news not on the experience of international experts say twenty or so all the border is around the world can produce nava chocks the argument that there is no alternative explanation to russian made no big joke fails at least six countries verifiably synthesize the nerve agent and failed to declare it to the u p c w
9:47 pm
dark blue notes and for months. any time a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure is toxicity or chemical weapon potential they must immediately according to the convention register it with the o.p.c. w. but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals. but these small storks for research major chemical arsenals are another thing unlike the u.s. for example russia has already destroyed its chemical weapons stockpiles my understanding is that russia was as been pretty cool hagen the o.p.c. w. is full of praise for 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
9:48 pm
aspect of what happened and the investigation has got the rumor mill running but there are didn't bits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists crashing their heads look at what newbie chalk is it is simply deadly unnerve each other is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic 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 air or through skin. but even though it's on the putting if you'd have symptoms appear and deaths follies of minutes if you get some skin symptoms and
9:49 pm
death can say from minutes to hours generally people are 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 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
9:50 pm
a minute if this was in the hild even more 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 he is an orchestra being a most over in support lot exposure can be limited to constriction of the peoples and worsening of eyesight or medium exposure is characterized by brokers spasms heavy exposure means convolutions and loss of consciousness if we agreed 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 was that early but was it really high level exposure the reported symptoms don't match this simply missing but for sort of instrumental relationships we put talks about the various exposure levels if they were foaming at the mouth
9:51 pm
and once it's a coma they were probably heavily exposed if so how did they gets a park bench from the shop ins answer 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. of all of them when witnesses found them they said that a 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 can vote manifested but others which go hand in hand simply weren't there then there's the treatment that they were given. now there's not a typical you have to know what i'm. don't say yes' before using it otherwise you can worsen the victim's condition so we can say with a high degree of confidence the british intelligence knew what chemical agent was
9:52 pm
used and how to treat it so 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 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. on suspicion not on proof because it's in this kind of affair you know it's very
9:53 pm
difficult to find a smoking gun it's very difficult to trace and have real proof of. 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 suspect has been called up it likely. won't be the last term of workers to put in your goodness but i can give you an example in two thousand and one when reports emerged of postal terrorism in
9:54 pm
the united states some was mailing envelopes with anthrax do us immediately accuse russia involvement but then they leased agree 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 there's 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 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 for its corporate support and if you follow o.p.c. w. procedures there inspectors must go to sites and collect samples of chemicals
9:55 pm
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 if you get the feeling that they just don't want to let russia near the investigation bug area 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. the investigation if you would questions the international community has including russia where again as the of.
9:56 pm
if you go through st mankind it's been a 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 in 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 cities will be able to turn the tide at. los angeles the city of luxury and faith but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided
9:57 pm
to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to 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 your craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos the middle for. it was dismissive to do it like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going to study hall meeting to. kill john because nobody should be
9:58 pm
the only palestinians gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the location didn't know when you could get it. and then let's design knowledge to how to this lady of the messiah which he had i'm going to compete in the gaza machine to do more commitments also don't piss off. a. clip are most definitely wasn't a victim of any kind of the operation or attack from the russian side because it was both really destroyed russian kind of debility 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.
9:59 pm
in the stories that shaped the week of doubts are raised over a video of an alleged chemical attack in the syrian town of duma which led to western airstrikes are teammates locals who saw what happened. people from the white helmets told us about the use of chemical weapons we saw no sign of that. we run started pouring water over the people but the seemed to be ok then walked away
