5:20 pm
it's a process that just keeps going. it's waiting for nations to admit the. president claimed his country produced. in the souls reports. another controversy surrounding the attempted murder of the russian spy the u.n. chemical weapons watchdog contradicts its chief who said up to one hundred grams of the toxic agent was used in the attack. to journalist a legal battle in the us to fight. washington so cold. they say they're wrong that he suspected of having links to terror groups also.
5:21 pm
in the. demonstrations along the border with israel and their six week dozens of palestinians including some being killed during the great march of return protests come. just after seven in the evening here in moscow this friday may the fourth. welcome to the program we begin with the developments in the sole sprit poisoning case the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. has been forced to issue a statement contradicting its own director general. had claimed up to one hundred grams of nerve agent were used in the attack on
5:22 pm
a former russian spy and his daughter in the u.k. back in march. the o.p.c. w. would not be able to estimate or determine the amount of the nerve agent that was used in solsbury on the fourth of march twenty eighth in the quantity should probably be characterized in milligrams. for research activities or protection you would need for instance five to ten grams of say but even in souls free it looks like they may have used more than that without knowing the exact quantity i'm told it may be fifty one hundred grams or so which goes beyond research activities for protection the saga that started on march fourth with the poisoning of sergei script and his daughter yulia and the snowball effect it has seen we have certainly seen quite a bit of backtracking and lots of questions in fact about evidence this latest statement from the o.p.c. w. all those statements from their own chief of this organization saying that it was probably from fifty to one hundred grams used in this attack and we've seen tweets
5:23 pm
from the russian embassy here in london questioning what exactly one hundred grams of such a nerve agent on a door handle would look like of course with a door handle reference being discussed as one of the possible ways this cripples had been poisoned so that's one latest example of how we've gone from some information becoming completely different also of course the latest statements from the president of the czech republic who admitted that his country had produced stored and then later destroyed some of this nerve agent while before we have seen ministers from the same country saying that any allegations coming from russia that the czech republic was capable of doing so were a lie. was produced and tested in the czech republic it was a small quantity of those here we know when and we know where it was dumb view would be hypocritical to pretend that such a thing never. the russians crossed all boundaries when they said the novacek agent could have come from the czech republic that is
5:24 pm
a lie another example that made headlines here in london of course was one scientists from the porch and down the board tory said they could not identify the source of the nerve agent used in the attack while previously before that we saw boris johnson talk about how he has been reassured by the exact same of war tory. that russia was behind the attack we have not verified the for say sort of storage you ought to see where that actually was manufactured so typically you're not able at portadown to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that but 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 that they died and of course the last but not least we saw russia being identified as the culprit in this massive saga that brought relations between russia and the u.k. to a brand new low and while russia was being called guilty almost immediately we have to remember that any official results of an investigation are still yet to come.
