actors and politicians and folks than an activist were alleging as well so it just so happened that this horrible russian exile bill of dissent or whatever was the story discord happened to me are exactly the same thoughts and sentiments of actual americans who may have other different opinion from hillary clinton it's the only story in town and the american public have been so bitter weighted to this mean that they want to hear more of it they believe there is evidence when there is no evidence or no no i'm sorry to say this isn't stopping i hope it does but i'm afraid it will. it's been fifteen years since one of the darkest chapters of the iraq war the flu germ massacre in two thousand and three american soldiers opened fire on civilian protesters killing seventeen and injuring more than seventy at the time the u.s. military claimed protesters had first opened fire at the soldiers however human rights watch failed to find any trace of bullet holes in the building where u.s.

troops had been within a year the u.s. had launched an all out military assault on the city known as the first battle for fallujah which resulted in around six hundred deaths and the civilians including women and children were among the casualties washington used white phosphorus and depleted uranium which according to doctors led to a sharp rise in infant deaths miscarriages and first effects there was also a tall fold rise in child cancer cases which is higher than among hiroshima survivors today locals in fallujah are still dealing with the consequences. but that focus on the story begins with that second followed when the americans attacked at first i had a few miscarriages and then i had tried to most of. the doctors discovered that it was a result of the phosphorus which was used by the americans.

and the process i have conducted a study based on samples and advise them in certified german laps which have nothing to do with any political party they found here a new career and other pollutants. in the spin the stella she's a very good student despite her disability when she writes on the board or in her notebook and it is very nice she's one of our best students. and. it was really. sad.

well there's been little relief for the battered cities inhabitants later in twenty fourteen islamic state forces occupied flu jab bringing with them the turmoil of civil war and even after i saw was driven out of the country locals say life in the city is still far from normal. and although we came back from the camp to fallujah they told us that the city and its suburbs are clear of these so we came back as we were cleaning the house an i.e.d. went off and killed my sister and sister that they'll remember are not this neighborhood went through a lot this house lost two women i lost a son and the other was crippled and haven't seen any official pass by here about us offered condolences. but the local bay area is destroyed it's not a place anyone would want to come to we stay in our house go to the house in front

of us use this road to come in and out of it that's it we don't go anywhere else the area is full of bombs or additional fire look at these flags all over the place which we can't work here the area is dangerous that soldiers have come here set off two or three bombs and left this area behind me is closed off from the flanks are trying to come home but they can't. america's secretary of state might bump aoe has accused germany of failing to meet its nato military spending target yet well it is digging deeper into his pockets to purchase aircraft and military drones peter oliver went to the berlin airshow to see the new hardware. this is an exploit is underway in the german capital polled thousand square meters of all things aviation from the commercial private and military sectors.

that just next to me are some of the joints currently operated by the german military this is the current and if we come over this way this is the current t p that's the one that could be equipped with weapons now then made by an israeli company in a joint partnership with the aerospace giant airbus and over the next nine years germany is set to spend a billion a year zero increasing the current fleet of these many isn't just looking to buy drones from abroad behind me is apparently the future it's called the european mail now it's a joint collaboration between silly france spain and germany and the developers all of this particular unmanned aircraft told me why those type of drones are the weapon of choice for modern european armies this is now the next step towards the kind of independence in europe and that of course comes them along with

a clear push into. meaning day to serenity but also to well when it comes to you know real ability and so on also on display is. thirty five now this is lockheed martin stealth jet that's being touted as a replacement for the tornado fighter bomber that's currently operated by the german military and it's not just the professionals that get to sort through the air using this tactical simulator of a helicopter i can even fly a mission over this small children town. drop a bumpy ride. with me in charge companies from all over the world to showcasing their wares and germany is in the market to buy the country's army chief is already called to defend spending by fifteen billion euro by twenty twenty one but opposition politicians aren't happy with that direction or the pressure being put

on germany by its nato allies to spend more on the military this is the wrong direction in the mall and there is. consideration of education and the climate solution of the health system in germany for example. the military says and if you look at the german population german population wants peace if i walk around and. everyone says i want peace so i think the government have to listen to the population and we as a left bring forward that position and other actors. humanistic just truthful with that position as well despite those dissenting voices it does seem that the german military set for a funding boost and without a load of new hardware peter all of a r.t. berlin. the u.s. is calling on europe and other allies to impose new sanctions on iran in an effort

to halt its development of ballistic missiles meanwhile tear arms foreign minister has spoken out against calls for a new deal on iran's nuclear program and curbing the nation's influence in the middle east. the situation in syria and the other middle eastern countries has nothing to do with the iran nuclear deal the us is making that up on acceptable not only for the people of iran but also for the other countries who signed the nuclear deal for the world community as well. while the potential new deal being discussed by global powers is thought to be aimed at containing iran in the middle east it may also addressed iran's ballistic missile tests which have been conducted in violation of a un resolution and as a manual makram proposes any agreement should also regulate iran's nuclear program after the current one expires bios the french president and i'm going to merkel appear to have changed their stance on the iran deal after meeting donald trump the

isn't there and we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. thank you. the iran view it is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geopolitical influence in syria and lebanon. solid or blockbuster verifiable agreements that guarantees that iran will not acquire nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible longly france thank you . and we should acknowledge that the current agreement doesn't allow us to address all of the issues among the things not covered by the iran nuclear deal is iran's activity in the region. politics professor saeed mohammad marandi thinks any backtracking on the iran deal will

diminish merkel's own across credibility in the eyes of terror on. it did more damage to themselves and anyone else because iranians are looking at the actions and the statements of these european leaders and when they see that they flip flop so easily and they try to appease the u.s. president so readily then in future i don't think that the iranians will ever take the germans or the french seriously again they'll know that in future they simply are are useless to negotiate with because they have no influence and they are willing to bow down to the u.s. president if he demands them them to do so so more than anything else they damage themselves because iran is not going to allow any changes to take place in the nuclear agreement when when the nuclear agreement was a was being discussed many in iran were critical of it they were saying that iran is giving too many concessions but ultimately when the iranian society to sign

those critics and those who supported the agreement they all agreed that you run must abide by its commitments over the last couple of years more than two years the iranians have been abiding by their side of the ball bargain and the americans haven't. leeks conversation has revealed the u.s. democratic party's leadership has pressured a candidate to drop out of the race for a congressional seat in colorado. you would likely get a raise. i know you're one reason. you guys are throwing money.

at it the smaller it's somewhat someone and. primary. process. well levi telamon had been focusing his campaign on clean elections combat in climate change and improving the health care system in the us the seat in colorado six congressional district is currently held by a republican house minority leader nancy pelosi has defended her party's move so i don't see anything inappropriate in what. mr hoyer was engaged in the conversation about the realities of life in a race as to who can win in the general election. well this isn't the first time leaks have pointed to attempts by the us democratic party to influence elections in e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show party officials trying to use bernie sanders

religion against him in favor of hillary clinton both were competing to be the democratic candidate in the twenty sixteen race for the white house makes also shows that then vice chair of the democratic national committee secretly gave clinton presidential debate questions in influence however the current d.n.c. chair says incidents like this are us in the past. but we're moving forward we have to make sure that everything is fair and open and everybody has a fair shake and that's what we're going to do well janice daniel is that i believe the democrats are becoming less democratic. there's a split in the party between the base and the and the higher echelons the elected officials it's totally undemocratic. it's smoke and mirrors the base thinks they're getting a choice but they really aren't because the the real candidates or the side are chosen behind closed doors but the democratic party is in the danger of self destructing it's it's trying to think that will win in two thousand and eighteen if

it passes itself off as the republican lite party. but that's a very risky tactic because of the risks the danger is all you wind up needing its base of support which will either stay at home or vote for green candidates or others who are challenging the democrats from the left so they're trying to try to walk a very thin line and i don't think they'll be they'll be able to to do it. i'll be back with the headlines in just over half an hour meanwhile for more on one of our stories in the meantime i had to ask you to call.

welcome to worlds apart after receiving a nobel peace prize just a few years ago the organization for the broad vision of chemical weapons now finds itself at the center of a major military standoff which some fear may digress into world war three can this obscure scientific organization tasked with upholding a major international norm do its job without itself falling victim to geo political wrangling well to discuss that i'm now joined by. former u.n. chemical weapons expert in iraq dr great to talk to you thank you very much for coming over this morning. now just a few years ago very few people are parts from

a narrow circle of specialist even knew what the o.p.c. w.y. say they only started to appear in global media after famous or infamous barack obama's statement on the red line if it weren't for that statement do you think we would be discussing the use of chemical weapons today. the point is that right now though we see. the special position for western countries. responsibility for the use of chemical weapons. do you rocky government. syrian government. makes it possible for the. opposition groups to use the chemical weapon to pretend this is the fault of syrian government. because in the situation like today the western countries they do not wait for any investigation they assign the responsibility and

then the punish for the chemical weapon use but when you say they punish both in this case with the latest strikes and in the previous case with the alleged attack on hunch a hole in. the response by the united states by its allies was definitely illegal from their point of view of international law but it was also a very limited and it's also quite difficult to understand what kind of military objective it could have pursued do you think deployment of using these chemical weapons use scare is the point political or is it military is it to advance a military objectives or simply to you know malign syria even more you know we would not see any real. military gains in these strikes so this is really politically sure if this would be technical or military or something

. it would require more than just accusations based on videos from the internet or social network but what's the point and i clearly they don't like president assad i mean the they made that position clear seventy years ago so what's the point of pushing these red line that they supposedly want to protect themselves i mean it's clear to understand from a tactical and strategic point of view what could be gained from that. well of course. syrian government is an important issue right now we see that the syrian government with the support of the russians and the iranians are gaining more control over syrian territory that was. state control previously and who are all the actors in this area the understand there will get. everything and they would like

to get their foot in the door to make sure that they still will be viable buyable players from what i understand russia iran turkey de tried to engage them in various negotiating for months it's not like i mean there is a talk about having at government of national reconciliation in syria there is talk about holding new elections so there are some political advantages that they can pursue and to the credit of both the russians and the syrians i'm an interested party here but still i think they allowed many of the militant groups to leave the area which is by my account unprecedented in the more than history of warfare so these people are actually treated pretty decently and they. yes but you have to understand. russians and syrians.

bunches of opposition to leave. areas. you have to understand these are not just oppositions to syrian sources there was about seven hundred. western advisors. together with the opposition of course we're. finishing. the opposition area so there will be a risks some western advisers also would be hit from the intensity of allegations i think perhaps the goals that they are pursuing out far bigger deal not off not only the syrian government i mean in diet point of view it's not legitimate at all but i do you think our goals go father in terms of diligent in my eyes in both russia iran and perhaps even turkey you can see that.

it's a chain of events after. russia told the joint investigative mechanism we got a sudden statement. who said that russia. responsibility for the use of chemical weapons in syria that was kind of troubling but i mean the if there were similar statements. but. she never did that. in her predecessor. the. united nations certainly blamed the russia for a very high civilian for supporting the son who's the chemical weapons but the direct blame in russia for the use of chemical weapons in syria there was a very strange also very shocking because russia had very very high reputation in the world of chemical weapons let me ask you specifically about the role that the

can play in all of that because unlike national governments unlike national delegations it is actually constrained by its own convention it has to follow the procedure all of these be seen as following the procedure. how much does god allow for political influences to be exerted on the. scientists would question. w. was. invented organization that would be purely technical. but . the structure of for office w allow some politics so. consists of conference of state parties hundred ninety two countries the executive council and the technical secretariat there are people who do the technical work so inspectors. technical

assistance and so administration administration but they do the work. executive council consists of forty one. state parties and that's exactly the area where politics could be brought the last events especially the situation is all bring in. a situation in the use of chemical weapons in syria brought more politics in the situation the difference from my brain every year between politics and science is that politics starts with a conclusion and science is supposed to be open ended when you go out to investigate something you should not have any preconceived notion about who might have done it. how does a balance itself out when it comes to the actual investigation so for example when scientists go out and collect the samples do they have enough freedom to investigators samples and to deliver the scientific opinion on them yet very good

question but let me show how the politics are digital from the technical issues. when russia. suggests that decision executive council to support the mission of w. in syria the western countries. actually blog decision but she. wrote the request to. w. . mission specters to do if and w. did that so this is politics versus technical so how technically this work is performed the specter scam to. use of chemical weapons and they collect samples but they also work with people they work with hospitals they talk with witnesses they see those people who.

were admitted to the hospitals and take their biological samples and all those samples they brought to headquarters. in the hague and. from the hague the samples are sent to designated laboratories there are twenty two . in the world at the moment and they analyze those samples. did have probes intelligent use of chemical weapons in syria before and i talked last year it's you had the russian envoy to the organization official going and he told me that some of those probs were stopped by the people by the specialist who turned to khan from the friends of syria group and that group obviously is very eager to see mr assad out many of these samples and many of the testimonies were provided by turkey which is also not the neutral player in that war so if how can you have so much confidence in the process right now when in the past it delivered

the results that russia clearly didn't agree with that is a very good question but. look you can trust to the results. only in the case when. sick. according to the chain of custody. that means. an inspector. came to the site. put it in the vial. not just close it but sealed it with a special seal. be broken and then those samples are delivered to. their opened in controlled. environments. records are kept this is exactly. now already have i think

a very clear after it in the western media to suggest that the russia and syria used this initial delay in the ability of the o.p.c. inspectors to access the scene that they use that specific lead to clean the area from a technical from a scientific point of view can the o.p.c. w. inspectors establish why that the scene was tampered with because even if they deliver clean samples in this case clean from the russian point of view the west i think would easily come out and say that. there is nothing there simply because the russians killed all the evidence. yes but in the case of. actually there were not. specters who came into the samples yeah turkish side had provided them with lots of inconsistent. but. didn't prevent. mechanism to. after use of chemical weapons in

tashi whom it was possible to analyze the samples and. you think that russia can rely on that kind of argument is not really the point. yes you can clean the area but the use of chemical weapons and remember chemical weapons is not the one you take poison injected into one person so you have to. eat a whole area to make the mass killing of people so that skeptical weapon if you do that so it's the whole area should be should be contaminated soil. building constructions and. a lot of a lot of. structures in the to clean it really clean it you have to problem.
