standard nerve agents are these are going to last even longer so yes this could have been made years ago and kept around for many years to have been so many theories about whatever happened in salzburg or how it could have happened maybe there were two different chemicals were bought separately a mixed up and and dispatch doesn't look like there was much of it whoever did this just a quick thought without getting ourselves in any hot water here but what happened with the script was what you saw just clearly on the news what you know about it does that tell you with what you would know about the novacek seems both these guys managed to pull through the policeman as well. they were reported to be seriously ill the information has come out has been very very scant as you know would you expect to novacek agent to have had a more serious of deadly effect. it all depends on the amount that the people were exposed to so the toxicity is is generally scales with the amount of exposure and so if they just got a little bit the symptoms that they quired were similar to what they would get from

a very light exposure of the material. where they were incapacitated for four days and weeks and i presume that they would they would have neurological problems for several days or weeks and then they'd be able to come out of it if there wasn't too much they had been given but if they had been given a serious quantity of it they would never have recovered and this really lives who oversaw the time of being injured on the line and we heard about this huge massive cleanup multi-million pound cleanup is going to go on for a long time in souls with these various hotspots does that ring true with some sort of novel talk again as a chemist looking at the news you hearing. yes the persistent nerve agent can last as long as about six months out in the open air so there would be an extensive clean up if it had been a traditional nerve agent you usually find within the next day or two it's going to

self decompose in the air but these persistent nerve agents this class of compounds is a two hundred compound class is exactly. is made to last much longer so yes you have to undergo an extensive clean up program like this but if you suspect that that's what you have as i said we don't know what happened in salzburg but the. what's it called the eight to thirty class that's what's been reported in the in the the czech republic although than i was saying it's been destroyed it's been great to have you have a line explaining a bit thanks very much for making it so simple as complicated james to a professor of chemistry rice university appreciate it. german police have carried out a major raided a migrant center in the south of the country after scores of asylum seekers forcibly prevented the deportation of a toga leaves man on monday the group reportedly attacked offices in their vehicles before then helping the individual to escape is a europe correspondent. well if we start on monday with the incident and kick this

all off it started when police in the southwestern german town of. gartin but important book arrived at this refugee center with the intention of taking away a twenty three year old man from togo who is about to be deported now as they arrive to do that crowds of people start arriving saying he should be set free those crowds got bigger and bigger we're hearing one hundred fifty plus refugees surrounding the police in their car that was there we hear from the police that this was a particularly aggressive crowd that threats were being shouted the police officers eventually for air fearing for their safety well they released the man and then retreated now the police chiefs haven't condemned those officers they've said that they what they described was a really horrific situation a potentially dangerous situation that they were right to pull out there now three days later thursday we saw

a major police raid take place now we're hearing as many as two hundred police were involved in this and they detained that twenty three year old along with seventeen other people but speaking to the press senior police saying that they had to move in when they did to stop this situation descending into further chaos you know i'm kind of it's for you we will not allow the creation of a. we will work against it we have clear indications that most black africans here see the police as the saree and want to fight against them and we've never experienced a situation like this before it was big when young people of well there's more information has come out about this throughout thursday we've seen quite angry reaction from politicians particularly at the fact that it this man was essentially on the run in free for three days and we also heard from the interior minister a horse and who is typically a bully and in what he has to say. is what happened there is a blow to the law abiding population we shouldn't let them trample on our

hospitality. attacks on police officers are unacceptable in a constitutional state such conduct must have criminal consequences is clear that frustration is no excuse for crime but there are a lot of questions being asked namely well why was this able to happen in the first place how can it be stopped from happening at other refugee centers in the future and ultimately who is to take the blame for allowing this situation to escalate as rapidly as it did coming up russia's surging israel to back up its nuclear allegations against iran that story and more after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again russia's foreign ministers told israel that if it has evidence that iran has broken the twenty fifteen huge nuclear deal then it must relate that information to the international atomic energy agency so comments came after israel's leader benjamin netanyahu claimed that iran repeatedly misled the international community over it she read him in richmond program critics such documents should be immediately passed on to the international atomic energy agency but according to the comments from experts taking part in the negotiations it's very likely that such documents refer to previous activity which has already been taken into account by the international agencies inspection. if the us will announce its exit from the around the old the international community will of course lose one of the most important instruments promoting the nuclear nonproliferation regime during that dramatic presentation on monday prime minister netanyahu claimed that iran had lied about never having had

a nuclear weapons program furthermore he also alleged it had continued weapons research after the twenty fifteen deal was struck and on top of that he said that it tried to hide all of the files relating to its work in fact netanyahu revealed fifty five thousand pages of documents apparently seized from iran in a heist by israeli intelligence which he said was therefore proof of to rand's dishonesty we cannot prove. the project of mine. was a comprehensive program designed. for the work. we are also. very long zuckerberg story project on marketer to use the title to strive to develop. we remain deeply concerned about the roads being. reversed is road the region around their vision to down the east. you know this is with israel in this fight strongly supports israel sovereign right to defend itself

european leaders to urged israel to submit all of the data to the un's nuclear watchdog but along with the i.a.e.a. itself they also suggested there was nothing new in the presentation and that there's no credible evidence that iran has broken that agreement the park has struck back in twenty fifteen broke at the time you may recall but the u.s. china britain russia france and germany took nine years of talks and it was hailed as a huge diplomatic success in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international experts the deals currently in big jeopardy though because the u.s. president trump he's long been a vocal critic is now deciding imminently whether to walk away or not many analysts say binyamin netanyahu presentation we just saw there was an attempt to convince donald trump that it should be abandoned and antiwar activist chris nolan told us he also thinks it's paving the way for america to pull out the only conclusion you draw from that is that this was likely part of an operation to try and bounce the

u.s. to try and give credibility to donald trump's efforts is his is apparent plan to walk out walk away from the from the treaty with iran so it seems it seems a reasonable assumption to make that that is actually what was behind this effort by benjamin netanyahu the stakes really are very very high here and you know it is one of the few. to deal with iran was one of the few successes of. foreign policy in the region it was one of the things that is actually kind of create at least the hope that some of the problems in the region could be resolved if that's broken we're in very very. the dangerous territory is a controversial one next the iconic boy scouts of america are about to undergo a rebranding of sorts after underlay is it seems the decision to drop the word boy from its name which is going to happen early next year as the organization welcomes

girls into the ranks isn't a wholly popular one. i say. oh you're right we wanted to land on something that evokes the bast but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward we're trying to find the right way to say we're here for both young men and young women. girl scouts is a premier leadership development organisation for girls we are and will remain the first choice for girls and parents. let's be honest the boy scouts as we knew it is now effectively dead girls are not supposed to be a part of the boy scouts they have their own organization called go scout as

a form of boy scouts i say this is a terrible idea boys need to be with other boys at times without girls being present to be boys the boy scouts raping the doors to girls due to losing membership and money feminists and loving the boy scouts moves not realizing it may destroy the women run because scouts. so where do you stand on this or one side is being heralded as we're long overdue inclusive beauty on the other it's being plain that it's just another move to demonize anything that gender specific the scouts name change said we saw far a discussion in this studio earlier. there isn't a great deal of evidence to suggest that only boys want to do traditionally male activities and only girls want to do traditional female activities there is very very obvious there are a lot of the old dr like climbing trees and there are lots of knowing there is like baking cakes and to try to say to young people you have to only do this what we should of course do is give them

a range of activities that he led and actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what not a year earlier i had it is now what it is or i'll found that's not what this is about and you know it there was an absolute determined effort to destroy whatever was left of this thing called the jones or it's now considered almost like races or inappropriate to do anything to distinguish boys from girls we're playing it so safe we've got a helmet there was a time when if you were a red blooded american male that's not our maisons you have cancer his right and cried i read here and there i mean fine and there was nothing wrong with it i'm kind of concerned with the idea that it's somehow great to encourage boys to to fight and be super of tip super rough and super violent with each other i think that this is two thousand and eighteen and the idea that it's somehow good for young men to be thrown into some sort of boxing ring i think that we should offer

young people boys and girls a whole range of activities and there are definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do some of those activities and violent marriage definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do at least some of those activities environment what you're seeing is the would sophistication of just boys and girls and how we are just turning their men to just these these i don't know these hominids or these kids who don't play who don't enjoy doing things like i did like we did being a boy and roughhousing those people think that this is absurd kids are not allowed to be kids. the more you look at the kind of science of it where the young people do best it turns out perhaps surprisingly perhaps unsurprisingly that goals seem to thrive better in single sex environments for things like that but boys actually seem to thrive better in mixed environments it seems like having some girls join in maybe takes away some of the sort of culture if you like people are afraid that

there are genders and that boys like to do boys stuff and the girls like to do girls stuff it's not accurate to stick it's true. i want to climb a tree a bake a cake that's the way the news is shaping up so far this early friday morning there is a leader in moscow it's a one twenty five am state cross all the latest news twenty four seven r.t. doc all want to check out our up for all the news straight jim obama we cover now in the morning. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and

welcome to the alex salmond show from the white house in washington d.c. and trump's america the radical forces are on the a stylish front of one thing in common they're both are now by the trump presidency so as of going to be changing there cannot be a counter revolution from the left or behold the washington establishment get back in the driver's seat today i speak to a pulitzer prize winning journalist and want to washington's key commentators there are very different views over the state of politics and this republic. but first thank you for the tweets messages and e-mails let's look at a few nelson says creature as usual enjoyed the whole kit revival idea after last

picture i was inspired to nap up to dunfermline mind the videos carnegie buildings anyone going should miss the rebirth place museum free entry always a bonus i quite agree and i thoroughly recommend people going to collude surely says your us sites when i need to meet excellent viewing he certainly left a legacy as regards the world he paid my granny season one thousand nine hundred for to korea edinburgh university the sort of gift that keeps on giving it might be said absolutely lovely little story there surely gordon says always an excellent show with great entities well done to myself and alex still says how it has alex love the shoe one thing that stands out from other shoes is alex's easy manner and lack of aggressive entry techniques so broadly used in most of the other shoes great to hear answers don't change a thing we certainly weren't joe thanks for that and finally dying by the alman says i'll examine creature to an os and then challenge you to complete with b.b.c. question time no holds barred just truth i'm not sure about the us and there might

be we try to avoid confrontation but it's an interesting idea that we certainly think i'm bored. now back to alex who is in washington d.c. with commentator ad eicher ed schultz. welcome to the alex salmond show was my pleasure thank you tell us new you've been commenting on the american political scene from a variety of platforms for a substantial number of years i want you to tell us how people are becoming adjusted to the the trump presidency and let's start with the establishment republicans are they reconciled to donald trump as a president and do think he'll be their candidate in two years time. to start with i think the uniqueness of donald trump is nobody owns him there's no political organization that he's loyal to there's no lobbying firm that he has to answer to he came to washington as an outsider as a businessman to upset the apple cart and he does it on

a daily basis the man wants to do business and he wants to do it in a way that washington is not used to see being done and i think that his pace of trying to get things done totally works against the culture of washington you know the rules of the senate the senate is about all cogitate take your time trump is not at that pace at all and so the republican establishment has had to figure him out and move at his pace if they want to get anything done and i think that it's just been two cultures clashing in washington so after that collision of the adjusted to the. instantaneous son volatile president i don't think you're ever going to be able to adjust to donald trump because he's so unpredictable and that

in itself is the attraction is that the people in middle america feel like there is somebody that will go to washington and is in washington now with power that will go after anybody to get things done and he. he has lived up to his campaign promises in generic sense most of them ok he can't live up to all of them but he did get the tax cuts he did get a conservative on the supreme court he has deregulated a lot of businesses he has taken a different approach to the environment which business likes it so first year and now we're into his second year he's got a little bit more head wind but the fact is he has accomplished what he said he wanted to do on the campaign trail and the republican establishment wants to do one thing and that stay in power and if they can use donald trump to stay in power then they'll jump on the bandwagon as quickly as they can if they can't then they'll pull up the machete so was tom to the the other side of the fence let's come to the

democrats are they still harboring notions that they they might nail donald trump through impeachment of the basically saying we're about to get down to an alternative for two you know still alex i just don't think it's the democrats i think it's the mainstream media in general the majority and now they don't like george bush but they hate this guy in they'll do anything to see him fail i honestly believe that their anchors wake up every morning thinking how they can get this president used to work for somebody you got to work for me well i can tell you stories about how they muzzled me quite a bit and the fact is that their whole mission is to defeat trump they don't want to see him successful they don't they don't like him on a number of different issues and he's corporate america that they don't like he's wall street that they don't like and he's also a nationalist that they're not willing to accept and so he's taken all of these

people on on a daily basis he uses twitter to go directly to his followers and that's what they are there believers and as much flak as he's taken in the mainstream media i think his ratings are relatively strong based on what he's had to put up with the demo. kratz and the answer about the democrats they will do anything to defeat. they they will obstruct they will connive they and all of this is a residual of the election that they're still terribly furious that hillary clinton lost they're looking for somebody to blame it on and putin is standing right there and he's a good target no by the way trump said some nice things about putin so that just throws fuel on the fire and so i think that trump is going to weather this storm as much as i have issues with some of his policies i think that he's going to weather the storm i really do i think he's a tough new york fighter and what's the possibility and substance in the the democrat side. type thing just as we had in the subject so it was even

a public a nomination of the democrats have an identity crisis right now in the identity crisis was created by donald trump because donald trump went out and told the working people of america i'm going to do something for you i'm going to take on china i'm going to do trade deals that have been get really your jobs and outsourcing them overseas the democrats have been telling you they were going to protect you for years but they've never delivered for you so he saw an opening how the donald trump win pennsylvania ohio michigan and wisconsin he did it because he went in there and he told these american workers that he was going to be true to his word and fight like hell to keep their jobs and the democrats were outflanked and hillary hillary clinton never even went to wisconsin. she never went there she was only in michigan late in the campaign and by that time it was over so by one stage in your career you would know him as the the liberal commentator who can speak to the masses is that

a politician going to match who can pull off that trick well i think the best chance right now is bernie sanders and i think that he may run again now we're light years from twenty twenty and who's going to run but he's proven he. show them the democrats in the progressive movement in america what's the model twenty seven dollars a month means something your voice can count he made people believe that their voice could count now there's an identity crisis for the democrats are you a bernie crack the fall of bernie sanders and be a real progressive and go hard on universal health care go hard on medicare for all go hard on education and go hard on these minimum wage issues and fairness and equality do you go down that road or you to be the clinton democrat be the terry mcauliffe next clinton democrat is that word's going to go and i think the democrats have got some serious questions to answer about who they're going to follow and what they really stand for in the event twenty twenty will donald trump

be still up pennsylvania avenue or will be back to his golf course i'm not going to . trump. is a winner heathy years out a way to win and he will leave no stone unturned this will not be an easy presidential election for the democrats if trump runs and i think that's the question i think he does want to run i think he i don't believe that the midterms are going to have a big. weigh heavy on his decision about whether he's going to run he wants to accomplish things and if he thinks he's on the right track to do it i think he's going to run again a really to the don't trump has been famous for has impatience with some of his in point to devices and he's got a read of a whole crew of people i brought ten a new team the thinking about that new team that's been brought to him is not going to affect his attitude to foreign policy. to live there we're going to last a year as well and he'll bring in another. well it's pretty obvious out from falls

in and out of love about four or five times a day he's a hard guy to work for apparently there's been a high number of turnover with quality people i don't think there's anybody better than rex tillerson he came highly recommended from the republican establishment were former executives in the government said this is the guy you gotta get and i thought that he was undercut quite a bit and i think it was very hard on rex tillerson when he left because he does not come from a culture of failure he's one of the most successful businessmen on the globe and i think he was terribly frustrated at the manner in the way he was handled and the way he was managed pump aoe is a hawk that sends a real message to north korea now north korea knows that there is somebody in the ear of the president that wants to take military action and i think that that plays into the hand of china and russia coming together and making a military alliance in a new founding between the two superpowers that was never there before i think

there i think trumps got the globe nervous not only with the way he talks but the people that he. out of him with her that's just to make him the nice guy in kampala some of the people he's appointed he has a way of wiggling out of just about everything there's no question about that but he clearly has a hawkish fraternity around him right now and whether that is going to be good for the globe i'm not sure he thinking about individual foreign relations. the potential trade war with china just positioning the rapprochement with putin which clearly doesn't go down well with many many forces in the thank you states and in particular donald trump going against iran well first of all there's this big wall it's called ego he didn't do this deal somebody else did and he wants to go in do a deal and put his signature on it not as fundamental of the simplistic is that he has i believe that's really at the heart of it all he loves to go up in berate

obama and berate bush and any other president who made a deal because he's the deal maker and he's the guy that's going to go in and negotiate something better i think it's as much ego as it is anything else. i don't think he understands the complexities of the middle east i don't think he understands. the culture and history of the middle east and i think his attention span is dangerous when it comes to international relations and he doesn't have the media helping him out at all so. his is new people around him are going to have i think a tremendous amount of influence when it comes to foreign policy and when he gets rid of the new team if chills gets a call and says i do love to have you on board dad john i'm so people know i'm very happy in our team america this is the most freedom of ever had with a microphone in front of me and i'm well suited where i am until it's thank you so now it's my pleasure thank you so much.

the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education has been supplanted by the right to access education its high education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you're good models of version. of these souls. they couldn't. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now and i am extremely more higher education the new global economic war.
