can not be broken and then those samples are delivered to. their opened in controlled. environments. records are kept this is exactly. and lives now already have i think a very clear 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 this 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. mechanism to. use of chemical weapons in tashi whom it was possible to analyze the samples and determined. you think that russia can rely on that kind of argument it's not really. a tickle yes you can clean the area but the use of chemical weapons and remember chemical weapons is not the one you. inject it into one person so you have to. eat a whole area to make the mass killing of people so that skin. nicol weapon eat that

so the whole area should be should be contaminated soil. building constructions and. a lot of the well a lot of. structures in the to clean it really clean it you have to probably demolish maybe couple of. blocks not even couple but maybe five ten blocks of the city you have to demolish and take it out so it's impossible to do that but it's not just the samples this is witnesses this is hospitals this is a victim but you know there there is a narrative of western narrative about two and there we already see seen that in the west and paper suggesting that some of the witnesses have been under pressure from their top government anyway so it's going to have to take a very short break now but he'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. for

a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge government and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the probably with you and the great the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me to just say the review the r.t. team's latest edition to make up as we go. model

is one of the most controversial products of our time it's a vegetable fat that's very cheap. twenty seven production grew to sixty three million tons that rapid growth in international demand for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion plantations which is the destruction of the rain forest. get into the zero a lot more than ten million hectares of unique rain forest has been destroyed and that's a process that just keeps going. welcome

back to worlds apart with untold wealth can therefore might u.n. chemical weapons expert in iraq. the syrian file is obviously not the only one that the a b c w is wrestling with this script all case is still going through the motions that they organization in terms of the procedural options open to them. is it looking better for russia or the u.k. at this point the longer the u.k. officials keep the results of investigation in secret so the more. capability they help to blame russia without any supporting evidence. the question is why this happens the point is first we see that

right now the u.k. generated over seventeen different versions of how scruples were poisoned we see how. they determine where the chemical was produced and yet they also lied about their country of origin but they still continue doing that and i think i correct me if i'm wrong but i would think that if there's any hope for russia to sort of constrain that it would be through using the o.p.c. w. makan is now my understanding and i may be wrong on that is that the u.k. from the very beginning wanted to create an impression of the o.p.c. w.-a being involved but it did not follow the formal route it was through the technical secretariat rather through the through the formal procedure prescribed by the convention why would they do that and why would the o.p.c. w. agree to be engaged in such an unconventional way through the technical secretary

at the rather than through you know challenge inspections and what have you. well. step by step first of all why do not it start to to. bring the politics. of you first of all you have to understand actually killing one person is a criminal case so it's not the use of chemical weapons like the brother of. military grade the nerve agent diverted on the territory rather of compassion in the literal for north korea was killed with v.x. that was new to a great agent not the choke was never proved to be chemical agent and if you take. w. who considered in two thousand and eleven they said there is no confirmation that this is chemical. knew to agree the agent so why why do you think. it was in the

interest of the u.k. to engage the o p c w i don't know that that then you can blame not just in the criminal. case but you can blame the perpetrators in the use of chemical weapons which is much more aggravated position absolutely and actually disses wrong because. rather a kitchen he was cool with the expect nobody used. in this case so right now they started to use but they didn't call for inspection. use of chemical weapons they invited opus w. inspection even not the spectrum but representatives. is a technical assistance and the only question that they put before the people was. if the chemical that we determined. to be used. as

a poison is correct or not so people. they checked this out yes this is correct structure of the chemical and eat but that allowed the u.k. to state the opposite confirmed their suspicions against russia which was they were already called but i saw you say in a previous interview. it was a mistake on the part of russia not to pursue article nine of the convention in a more forceful way do you think russia still has the procedural means to pressure the u.k. to provide all the evidence that it has because my understanding of why they didn't pursue the formal wrote this is because they would have had to provide all the you know intelligence information all the classified data in order to call for let's say inspection by using the technical secretary they don't really have to provide

anything is that right well. according to. the article none. there is a procedure that you can request the state party and you can exchange information and consult with the body you for you do not. respect or answer you can go through the executive council and you do not get this abstract through council you can go up to the conference of state parties do you think russia should call for this cause i believe that russia right now. according to the procedure so russia requests that information from the u.k. it didn't get to say this five or so right now it is in position to make the same request. executive council no exact to council wouldn't vote for that so they would just. transfer the request to the u.k. and you can provide the answer. of council which will be transferred to russia

so russia has to use. procedure that would show that russia full of international. weapons as is the bureaucracy better understand your correctly who pursues the bureaucracy. full of all the procedures of the convention unlike. now in one of your previous interviews he also said that the very categorical nature of britain's accusations against russia left its with no room for maneuver essentially london has no other way but to double down on its initial narrative regardless of how conflicting the evidence is and. i think that it was perhaps in our discussion on syria but and i'm going to ask you again do you think any amount of evidence any amount of testimony and due process following the rules is going to how to you this issue in

a way that would be fair to all sides because from my position from my point of view what we have is that politico wrangling yet again nobody's really interested apart that perhaps for russia in establishing the scientific fact that's exactly true russia really interested in the joint investigation and russia for it why. this is. a rhetorical know it happened with russian citizen russian according to the vienna convention on the relations has the right to communicate with russian citizens in any case but do not to keep them doesn't want to do that so no. details of the investigation i would like you to note one thing actually the recently. general director of w was interview.

interviewed by pranks and he said very interesting thing that was the question why not agent was determined. to composed only in the blood or for you it was. supposed to be decomposed. met the bullies and. but they found decomposed in their blood in your blood but not in the blood or who was exposed. exported to the chemical agent so that was very strange because it is not clear how it happened frisch agent was. and it's not in the not the first inconsistency in these or any previous investigations i mean the very nature of the allegation that teresa mayes government made against russia i mean they are accusing us of lawful use of force

by the russian state against the united kingdom this is an unprecedented allegation but when they made a decision to go ahead of that i soon that they have also made a calculation that they have what it takes to win this battle of narratives i suppose that they presume that they have enough france and i've enough. political ammunition to get what they want to write. some part of this battle but i. be i was told if you see a dead body and a person running with a knife around his body it doesn't mean the person you're trying to apply common sense to the situation when i think it's it's no longer play couple years all sad that the vienna convention is nothing to the u.k. authorities they couldn't care less about it is true but you have to understand the

world is not clear right now or on the u.k. . several more western countries a lot of countries are watching this situation and they make a conclusion that actually any of them can undergo the same situation when they can be bloody blamed in the use of chemical weapons and they can distract with missiles on the reason and right now they see how russia is performing in this situation and they really have to understand who they are going to be for in this situation moral . let me ask you one more question about the questionable claims that the russian side has advanced i'm sure you're heard the russian foreign minister statement about this we slavs discovery of the bees that toxin in some samples as well as speculations that the script symptoms are more consistent with that poisoning rather than over chunks those claims were directly contradicted by the

o.p.c. w. which said it was discovered and controlled rather than the actual samples do you think the bees at stories close by now and do you think it was appropriate on the russian side to present the information in a way that was presented well to be frank with you i believe that the explanation. is quite satisfactory they can do special control samples to make sure that it is. determined by both laboratories and they know exactly what. the russians were right to use the confidential information that they i assume received through some intelligence sources in such a way that would put the o.p.c. w.-o. on the spot because russia does need the goodwill and called peroration and. of the international body wasn't undermining that goodwill. right now.

in the situation without any evidence so what should i. should do. the game with russia. from the beginning russia is supposed to use any keys any facts any evidence to protect itself and to fight in this particular game well here saying is that desperate times call for desperate measures doctor was going to have to leave it there i really appreciate your being with us this morning and i invite our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages for me to see again same place same time here on worlds apart.

a little less used to be the end it didn't last i did just that when a few feet from something funny that i didn't see just a minute high. when i touched it i sat next. to. a log and i leslie. i was feeling the worst but i believe they got the wrong he's slow. and. he's. taking.

custody of the legal up and i believe he's going. to sit on the family have a difficult moment. and these years i'm able thought until i don't. know how shame or. killing the gun it will be if admission i'm going to. see if. i i. i

. they were scary they started to pour water on me i don't know why they did this one of them as professionals we saw that there were no symptoms suggesting chemical weapons had been used in the stories that shaped the week when this is give testimony on the alleged chemical attack in duma but still some refused to list. the leaders of north and south korea meet for the first time in more than a decade to open a new chapter in the peninsula's history. also the key witness in the russian doping scandal fails to confirm some of these allegations even though the careers of many russian athletes may have been destroyed by his claims.

for getting me to manage the harvey this is the weekly here on r.t. international. local secluding doctors from the syrian town of duma testified this week at the un backed chemical watchdog headquarters in the netherlands they were saying that they witnessed no sign of an alleged chemical attack on april seventh r.t. arabic located a boy seen in and i'm very fide white helmet video showing the supposed aftermath of toxics strike he also gave evidence to the o.p.c. w. but not everybody wants to hear what he had to say i guess the ever explains. when these reviews emerged pundits and politicians took them as gospel the truth conclusive indisputable and irrefutable proof of assad's chemical since the chemical weapon that killed dozens of civilians and astaire's that the us had

regime has previously used in chemical attacks the assad regime has used the same yellow gas canisters the n.s.t. telling fox news they have a high degree of confidence that it was used they must have had solid evidence you don't just launch a hundred cruise missiles in an act of war without convincing proof beyond any doubt right right wrong. you know they have all right we were in the basement and then heard someone outside scream go to hospital we were scared they started to pour water on me i don't know why they did this. pundits and politicians who've never been to syria where it happened witnesses the locals who were there in the hospital in question say they didn't see a thing all the exhaust was white helmets dousing confused of aliens with water neither did the doctors see anything. on the seventh of april i was in the

emergency room treating patients injured during the fighting the same day around seven pm we started receiving patients with breathing problems about fifteen cases this happened because people were nailing smoke and only show symptoms of choking and nothing more it all happened because one missile hit a building nearby and a lot of dust got into the hospital rooms. that the screams chemical weapons chemical weapons were used to create panic this lasted for about an hour we were treating the patients and then sending them home so we had no fatalities or instances of people suffering from poison substances this isn't helping western journalists the leaders insist it happened syria russia and locals insist it didn't dead end usually when you when you might you know tomorrow if you don't understand normal language let's try a different way if you are impervious to arguments let us bring you the witnesses

so russia aboard more than a dozen witnesses to the west to the u.p.c. w. and invited western press perfect opportunity for journalists to get to the bottom of this right. right how low do you have to go to bring a little child all the way and threaten them right off the bat the nile but here's the but if we came here willingly we demanded the red cross allow us to come here. wrong in truth there isn't the right answer no matter what you say to some people no matter what you show them they'll never ever come around or change their views how threatened do you have to feel to change your story into the noise a chemical weapons attack stubborn doesn't do this fellow justice he's really the

reason that the boy had to fly over. yes my son is young and it's been difficult for him to make it here a flight here is no easy thing so little has scientists told you the truth something you do not want to hear was a necessary measure we needed to show that there was a line in a very dangerous one. anyone who hoped there would be a breakthrough was in for a disappointment hours of testimony and the evidence all for naught that you mentioned in the russian press release that somebody here was going to be present who was a witness of producing the video of the white helmets and i was wondering where this witness is and if he can tell his testimony. more and more it's my view all these witnesses we heard from today are the evidence the white helmets feel is fake i don't know maybe i missed something. in one ear

out the other with no pause in between. we discussed this with independent researcher and journalist vanessa bayliss she's been to do more herself to collect people's testimonies. when i spoke to people in junior dr as medical star in the same hospital in the medical point that received victims on that night they all also told me exactly the same thing as people are now hearing in the hague and also when i went outside and spoke to civilians only seven hundred meters away from the alleged attack they were also all saying the same thing to me that there was no chemical weapon attack i am surprised and i'm shocked the levels to which western media has stooped over this alleged event and the moral bankruptcy and degeneracy that was same from western media i mean to accuse russia of

basically exploiting a child in years. of eleven year old has and after western media has cynically exploited children throughout the history of this conflict and if we don't have to go back to far to remember. in east aleppo it is almost whatever evidence is produced now it will be perceived as being influenced by russia or by syria i mean we've already seen the british government and western media if you like laying the ground for saying that russia had already pretty tampered with the site before the open c.w. comment so we can almost predict that if o.p.c. double eve find no evidence of chemical weapon use in that area the next line will be russia tampered with unsanitized and sprayed our fresh air around the site before a.b.c. w could get there. to join western strikes in response to that

alleged chemical attack appear to have strengthened the bonds between two of the leaders behind them namely donald trump and emmanuel micron and judging by the body language just check out the handshake coming up seen during the french president visit to washington this week it seems a bromance is brewing. thank you. i like him a lot it's a great honor great honor that you are but we do have a very special relationship there's very. little peace we have to make room for a few years for. there was a handshake kiss thing there the french president also highlighted the loss of a friendship by giving trump a symbolic sapling gate was taken from a world war one site in france where u.s. marines it helped to repel a german offensive in one thousand nine hundred eighty but just seven days later it

was revealed that the tree as now apparently being removed pretty uses dug deeper joking that the tree quote must have been an unfair trade deal for trump even some blaming russia for the disappearance where the tree was actually removed or not the gift was certainly a new take on the bond between the french and us presidents. in case you missed it donald trump and emanuel macro on how to be hanging out the economy mojo and as a global politics and sharing that country grown together to together. the french and american presidents all sort of sweet lou is holding hands and this being that second date even though the french style kiss grown is the last foreign leader to be treated to a full state visit to the u.s. funded from not even a special relationship willing to resume a go at the full state visit and she is the one that started all this hand-holding

business but these grave presidents of wars their relationship. there are things that your enjoyed a military parade for best deal day in paris last july so much that they held a joint in the syrian airspace a couple of weeks ago using the assad regime for target practice but also in the western alliance and. these are the cheese eating surrender monkeys of the iraq all along for the gulf and much more push to hard to claim credit for sending one hundred million dollars that's a myth to destroy one hundred thousand dollars worth of syrian houses as long as this side this relationship looks pretty strange from the outside in the know how the french the barrio in philadelphia eagles talk clocks that you wouldn't be surprised by the length with today's two does not call the two nations toll the global security.
