and has finally. ordered that all. the time but that's not what's happening israel has responded to the cry from the un on human rights groups government lawyers say the girls a protest quote fall into the state of war country and not human rights laws they're afraid don't apply to the i.d.f. rules of engagement or reserve colonel with the defense forces to lose that in his

view the israeli military's actions are justified. any nation america friends of course israel has a full right to defend themselves we are not facing just a simple pacific march of nice people who are facing people who want to invade our country and when someone wants to invade your country you have two possibilities once you let him go in and you just leave. or you have to put the abilities or you win or you lose you cannot let people kill you you know they are to react you have to ask first because the rule of the game in this terrorist military rule is to be on the initiative not to be on the reactivity. there have been some major developments this week in the only going investigation into the script poisoning case

a nato country admitted it had produced another chuck like substance as recently as last year then the united nations chemical weapons watchdog backtracked on previous claims about the nerve agent picking apart the story first. criminal investigations usually work towards conclusions as new information and facts come to light but with this group all case it all seems a bit backwards and feels like those pesky details are being ignored take for example the embarrassing but significant slip up we heard this week from the chief of the international chemical weapons watchdog the research activities or protection you would need for instance five to ten grams or so but even in seoul is 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 of which goes beyond research activities for protection and the idea that such a large amount having been found suggests that it had been created as a weapon and not for research purposes is important from the get go the u.k. claim that nobody talks soviet origins were clear evidence that russia was the

guilty party at the same time moscow argued that other states have the ability to create another truck and have experimented with doing just that so the suggestion that such a large amount wouldn't be found in research situations just adds to that idea that there is no other plausible alternative but that russia is behind the attack there is just one tiny problem with all of that. the o.p.c. w. would not be able to estimate or determine the amount of the nerve agent that was used in souls bre on the fourth of march twenty eighth the quantity should probably be characterized in milligrams but that whiplash inducing you turn has no one's convictions that russia did it even when combined with an announcement coming from the czech president who know the choke was produced and tested in the czech republic it was a small quantity though we know when and we know where it was done it would be hypocritical to pretend that such a thing never happened so there you have it and then mission from at least one country saying that yeah they have produced and experimented with no each of class

agents delivering a blow to a key element of the u.k.'s case no more can it be claimed that the substance kind of only come from russia right wrong that two didn't dent the narrative the media gave almost no attention to the announcement and those who did cover it pointed out what they called siemens pro russia stance because let's face it in today's climate being pro russia means you are liable something else we saw this week was the u.k. national security advisor disclosing the fact that no suspects have been identified and the poisoning but given the fact that the case seems to be based on the assumption of guilty until proven innocent many outlets ran that statement alongside the line that police were urgently reviewing the security of other defective russian spies in the country once again implying moscow's guilt despite a lack of even one suspect after two months and while clearly none of these details are enough to prove russia's innocence at the same time nothing we've seen or heard up till now is enough to prove its guilt either. but russia say's the revelation by the czech president undermines london's case but in a statement to r.t.

the british foreign office repeated its claims that only moscow has the technical means operational experience and motive to target the script old former u.k. intelligence officer charles to bridge told us he thinks the mistake plays conveniently into the nora to russia is guilty. sure there are many that were stylish when we first saw this interview appeared with the chief of the. one can look at that and say well ok it's very easy probably to make a mistake an image of an interview and say grams when in fact you meant milligrams but that is actually contradicted by what the i.p.c.c. serves have said makes you wonder what was the reasoning behind the chief actually saying something that appears to be not just a mistake but at least officially untrue certainly it was grasped upon by headlines in the west that said that this was further proof that such a huge substance assume huge amount could only come from a state of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. vladimir putin's

presidential inauguration on monday he will officially start his fourth term us russia's leader igor zhigalov takes a look now at what we can expect from the certainly. this is blair mobutu's stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps before he gets to the halls of the palace also the site of the inauguration ceremony. this is the wall of military glory playing tough to sing georgia and that is first hold lattimer putin is said to cost on his path to no curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length be more than sixty metres.

the next whole the whole the whole of the order of single xander being in it right now it is difficult to imagine that for the larger part of the twentieth century none of this even existed after it had been demolished by soviet leaders only twenty years ago this was brought back to its former glory. it's not all the glitters is gold lace a well it couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this gilded villas chantilly is even this this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place latimer will be standing in the far right end of the hole once again in his life the same and old thirty three

words good will officially start his next tenure as the presidents of russia remember it's gone up from the kremlin see. we're checking in on moscow's victory day rehearsals in ninety seconds. same wrong. will just don't call. me if you get to say palin to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

by two things by his emotion and he is. in the long term he places a very long lead he says so to speak of. long distance rather than politics and that's the way they underestimated. hello again the final dress rehearsal for whedon's these victory day parade in moscow finished on that red square earlier featuring some of russia's newest military hardware from for all the service personnel taking part in something very special indeed as well joined one of the convoys on its way into the capital. but

you see joining the parade itself on red square axis rules behavior rules are super strict but this is just a rehearsal so we're going to hang out here a little bit and have a bit of fun. one of the brand new things about this year's parade is that it's going to feature drones and i think you can see one right there. oh i think i can see someone from last year's parade a little bit of. this. blog about it. actually i have some ten driving skills myself here we go where. let's see if i can do something with that here and he's got all of these and. most of just asking you for your last story and you can't step with me.

everyone's way too serious but perhaps that's what you should expect really with this kind of event. ok we really have to go now. i was going to say i knew that i did. well no one allowed to drive today but the bad charge just told me that i used to have to instead. of got no roof. now that we are just outside red square. for three days you will have to move and

it's time for the guys to do some military grade washing up. ilya tranquil are. the really impressed has won the u.s. over its threats to scrap the twenty fifteen clear agreement i got it all if the us pulls out of the nuclear deal it will soon realise that this decision will become a historic regret for them all. comes after the israeli prime minister intensified efforts to convince donald trump to drop their historic pact in a dramatic powerpoint presentation binyamin netanyahu playing tehran lied about its nuclear ambitions president trump say's he'll decide next saturday whether to drop

the agreement looking more into the story daniel hawkins tonight i'm here to tell you one thing iran lart the evidence well that lies in this filing cabinet allegedly thousands of documents and c.d.'s half a ton to be precise proven conclusively tehran misled the world about its nuclear plans both before and after the twenty fifteen agreement we've known for years that iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called project them out hailing this as a significant development in the great intelligence achievement that the all who was sure iran has one reason and one reason only to hide this information why would a terrorist regime. hide. and meticulously catalog good secret nuclear files if not to use the middle leader do what other country would do such a thing some will remember netanyahu twenty twelve un speech and the cartoon bomb iran's foreign ministry has already called his presentation

a propaganda show but the issue here is also a serious one since the onset netanyahu has been an ardent critic of the iran agreement so this is a terrible deal. i think this deal is a. do it would never have been concluded. and if you do storm president trump. will desire will make as the solution on what to do with the nuclear deal. i'm sure you'll do the right thing whatever does come about on may the twelfth that's in your who will do all he can to convince the world that scrapping the deal is the right way forward even at the cost of years of negotiations and a delicate regional power balance. with european leaders urged israel to submit all of the data to the un's nuclear watchdog but along with the i.a.e.a. itself a number of observers suggested there was nothing new in the presentation not there

is no credible evidence iran has broken the agreement. having a sky high imagination has paid off for a one young russian boy who went far beyond seeing either space or simply black and white. now let's send the stories like that don't exist in space i need to a drawn out. will close order for the photos we wanted to cheer him on and then we decided to refer this question to the most competent space of foreign gross cost little. cost because most of us possumus and that i painted everything right when it stars

do exist in different colors they can be read green orange and many other colors. and that's the lesson did you know that this was real or does it come from your imagination that's how i imagine the stars to be i like your page to become was your teacher i would have given you and maybe not even kept correctly engineering wise to the spaceship and your instrument nickleby should it's huge image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stasi. to the pacific now where people on hawaii's largest island are continuing to witness volcano killer whales erupt toxic gas fills the air and lava flows towards residential areas over seventeen hundred residents from two neighborhoods were

more in that story and when it comes in to us this is r t international stay with us for more programs. manufactured. to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round. we can all middle of the room.

in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than forty six. customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. opposite it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets they kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand

three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. welcome to worlds apart of the recent series of events on the north korean track has attended many diplomatic conventions but only have the south koreans become the unlikely mass injuries between pyongyang and washington they've also become spokespeople for both kendall trump supposedly acceptance of kim jong un suppose that invitation photogs break these decades old stalemate well to discuss that i'm

now joined by a boundary line called professor at the university in seoul professor link up it's good to have you on the show thank you very much for your time thank you very much as we've just witnessed a major turnaround in how north korea and the united states approach one another just a few weeks ago the world feared to break out of a nuclear war now we are discussing the potentiality of the first ever face to face meeting between the two leaders since the korean war what do you think accounts for these dramatic shifts overall i would say cynically blackmail. because or was the last year u.s. administration or pretty well it's a more there's been all but a size president himself has walked a very hard to create an impression there hugh seriously considering that. nobody but president himself can possibly know really he was really going to

strike. or perhaps it was all bluff bluffing to create such an impression and to get you to go. america's oats reza sincere or not this policy of persia has finally walked first. or will september suddenly changed its edgy heute to send chills dieting or study historically was remarkably reluctant to suffer for what it really tough sanctions against north korea barred from august of september chanda is probably in somebody's guards tougher than the united states saw the prior to shore they're working very hard so essentially what you're saying is that donald trump managed to change the calculus of not only the north koreans but also other parties to this conflict but the north koreans do not have a reputation of being particularly feeble minded in fact i think they have

a reputation of being very tough negotiators and trying to get as much as possible for as little as possible and yet all of a sudden they show this openness for one sided concessions agreeing to suspend military and ballistic tests while north asking the americans to suspend their military exercises is that a measure of how frightened they are or perhaps a calculation on their part that they may get more in return later on bourse. bridges sure that in the long run as the north koreans deal our smart americans. because you know i've been studying the history and this is you see a history of how well. and his father and the special his grandfather many people aged russians solved americans journeys and they always view or vigorous but right now they are still frightened because i mentioned the cheney

ascensions is there yet to produce impact but in due time situation is likely to deteriorate and of course the door to be shot at they understand in case of war they get in free a great deal of debt. on the us and their allies by they also understand that in the end of the day they're going to suffer much more so the dogs want a shooting war and eve the presume that this is what is going to happen if they don't stop well they decided to stop is a metal fact exit actually introduce them on authority on their missile tests in nuclear launches not now now they just confirmed it for all practical purposes they did it in late november and they also floated a possibility of being open to discuss the so-called denuclearization of the peninsula now i know from your own writing that it sounds big but it doesn't carry much at least in your view but do you think there is anything that could actually

prompt young young to take this issue seriously and consider it i don't see any say that here. vich will probably make deals to seriously consider. their current statement is basically just. many people forget by the according to the knight is sixty eight treaties signed by all major nuclear powers including tonight of states russia and chair that france and united kingdom all this countries are under obligation to a venture to surrender the nuclear weapons. i fear show american or russian or chinese documents you see that this is not exactly was there of working hard to achieve so just a leap service or north korea's can easily do is to say they can is it to do was their american so russians have been doing for decades just to see involve beautiful point in a very distant future probably they will surrender nuclear weapons not know

precious a link of you mentioned the belief service and i think it's also become a bit of a diplomatic ritual to indoors the denuclearization of the peninsula but if we look at it through polity. glances do you thing regional powers like russia like china actually want pyongyang to fully disarm absolutely because it's very often is on the stuart budget russian government has over it's been deadly against nuclear and this a or even more is a predictable to china you know all russia is now flooded visit and ten american feelings so that if people say vows there gives the lie to strays they're good guys they have supported them not because in the end of the day first of all russia the economy vice the. country's needs nuclear superiority even more and it has no interest in merchants or for new nuclear powers because that i view because

pickets no idea tomorrow it may be scary if they're discussing a serious the vietnam and then more nuclear power with iran zillah's military significant russia becomes and it's only part of the story and as a part of the story is just all good proliferation. norm to be particularly to us well but the counter-argument to that would be that the north korean partial nuclear arsenal provides security guarantees not only to the regime itself but also to its neighbors against a military intervention to break out of a major war on their borders and as you pointed out in one of your recent articles nobody wants to see a replay of the libyan events in east asia so my question to you is whether north korea having a short nuclear stick not a fully developed but some some blunts of a nuclear weapon doesn't dot provide a certain guarantee to both russia and china that the united states would not intervene that recklessly on their borders no security going to use for russia

provided by the russia nuclear and missile force or spirit all countries if they develop nuclear weapons. they agree in the long run increase instability i'm not saying that we can do anything about north korea nuclear weapons i'm just saying that from the point of view of the russian the national interest it's not a good use look now it's about but if north korea becomes nuclear it will become all the logical for south korea to warn your korea as well because yes no not say and probably believe they need nuclear weapons for defense but the us not forget it was in north korea beach invaded in one nine hundred fifty s. it still official line is. does not exist so i will study isn't the us occupy a territory to be eventually liberate it's ruled my cheapie did but if according to

the north. this is a situation sort of what should not do probably develop nukes and if that happens what about japan what about what about vietnam all this country is have a lot of. us by the way most cases against china and this is it is only by chinese so i'm happy about north korea's nuclear program russia is a bit unhappy chad is seriously unhappy because if it's not stopped in ten feet twenty s. time channel you'll find itself surrounded by small really hostile countries and beatrice reason to hate cherry now going back to many centuries and each country has a nuclear weapons professor i heard you say that the north korean regime is likely to be accommodating as long as it believes that the us administration could be reckless enough to launch a strike against said despite all the potential ramifications for south korea as well as for the region in general how much mileage do you think the trombetta ministration can get out of it what's the maximum that they can potentially extort

from pyongyang by using these scare tactics. would say a lot of what they heard the last of the blogs. it's basically if they can get much more then i areally stickily expect because. he inserted not a century except it was a joint military exercises well perhaps it's the same situation i just discussed and they are talking about does a beauty of the nuclear program because if they have basically is a noise they can do nothing about joint military exercises non-sale is for last few months it did look like that the future deal if you include it just something about this scale or continuation of franklin c. of the joint exercises and recently it in all scary as essential a set military exercises cavies us we don't care we don't worry about.
