any nation america friends of course israel right to defend them serve not say seeing just a simple person 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 do in war you have to push the realities or you win or you lose you cannot let people kill you you know they are to react you have to because of the rule of the game in this terrorist military rule is to be. not to be on the reactivity. but also in some key developments this week in a surrogate screw up our case the former double agent and his daughter are now recovering in the u.k. that so after being poisoned with a nerve agent novacek back in march kluger picks up the latest on the story criminal investigations usually work towards conclusions as new information and

facts come to light but what 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 for research activities or protection you would need for instance five to ten grams or so but even in seoul spree it looks like they may have used more than without knowing the exact quantity i'm told it maybe fifty one hundred grams or so which goes beyond research activities for protection but 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 novacek 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 all determine the amount of the nerve agent that was used in souls bree 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 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 could've 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 call demons pro russia stance because let's face it in

today's climate being pro russia means you're on reliable something else we saw this week was the u.k. national security adviser disclosing the fact that no suspects have been identified in 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 defected russian spies in the country once again implying moscow's guilt despite a lack of even one suspect after two months and well 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 it's guilt either. but despite that uncertainty over the screwball poisoning the u.k. does they'll blame russia in a statement to this channel the british foreign office repeat that its claims that only moscow had the technical means and motive to target the script we spoke to former u.k. intelligence officer charles through words about the contradictory data coming from the global chemical weapons watchdog short on many of the or stylish when we first

saw this interview appeared with the chief of the a.p.c. one can look at that and say well ok it's very easy probably to make a mistake in the middle of an interview and say grams when in fact you meant milligrams but that is actually contradicted by what the i.p.c.c. w. them sort of 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 i see huge amount could only come from the state of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. vladimir putin will officially start his fourth term as russia's leader in just a few hours time now he was not of course in the kremlin looking ahead to the inauguration. this is glad i'm a buddhist 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 rule of military glory it's named after a single george and it is first called latimer putin is said to cross on his part not curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length more than sixty metres. the next hold the hold hold the order of scenes from 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 all the glitters is gold they say couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this gilded villas chandelier even this this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place. will be standing in the far end of the hole once again in his life the same old thirty three words good will officially start his next tenure as the presidents of russia remembers from the from the see. another event this week moscow is gearing up for its annual victory day parade will have more that story and more still to come after this short break .

seemed wrong. role just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she still looks for common ground. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the lawn they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to preserve. it's a right to be for us this is what will before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. quest to.

ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation and another by mike was one of four doesn't want the eyes of god i'm just a dumbass on the guns not with theirs that either he got on into the city at the last possible life and proprietary software or you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating the public good to microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that. put more on. the softness of the z. film in this one the more the more. the more. these this is the arsenal launched i'm done with the all business starting there was listing of all the fun is up and describes

in the fine. print. welcome back to the weekly moscow has held its final rehearsal for wednesday's victory day parade featuring some of russia's newest military order where it was frank or join me on that one of the convoys on its way to the city center but when you see joining the parade itself on the red square axis rolls behavioral rolls are super strict but this is just a rehearsal so we can hang out here a little bit and have a bit of five. one of the brave new things about fifty years it is that it's going to feature

a drone and i think you can see one way 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 tank driving skills myself here we go. let's see if i can do something with that here because he's got all of these and. most of you're supposed to. be i was scared you can't step mean. everyone is 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 it.

well no one allowed to drive today but the bat in charge just told me that i used to have to stand up. the roof. now that we parked just outside red square which will be out for the movie and it's time for the guys to do some military grade washing up. our feet. donald trump has just five days now as the decide whether to extend u.s. sanctions relief for iran that sound about twenty fifty nuclear agreement iranian president has worn out of the deal would have some far reaching consequences. i

gather that if the u.s. pulls out of the nuclear deal it will soon realize that this decision will become a historic regret for them. really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a very different view and a very different message on that aerating nuclear deal so this is a terrible deal. i think this deal is a bad bad. bad to do which would never have been concluded. and if you do. president trump. will decide america's a solution and what to do with a nuclear deal. i'm sure you'll do the right thing the iran nuclear deal was struck three years ago between tehran and six other world powers it was hailed as a huge breakthrough at the time with the negotiations lasting nine years in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to drastically scaled back its

nuclear energy program and also opened up its facilities to international experts political analyst daniel mcadams believes that key figures in the u.s. establishment want to escalate the situation with iran netanyahu knows very well that he cannot take on iran on its own bibi is playing trump like a fiddle but look around trump has got all the same losers that were in power in two thousand and two who lied us into going into iraq or we're supposed to believe that somehow just a week or so before trump has to make a decision on iran that all of a sudden it come into this amazing information here let us rush to share with you this information telling you how evil they are it's all pure theatrical just like his ridiculous bomb thing at the u.n. it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war. as we mentioned there the israeli prime minister's trump to scrap the deal in a dramatic powerpoint presentation benjamin netanyahu accused iran of lying about its nuclear weapons program planes have fifty five thousand pages of intelligence

files on iran's allegedly secret bomb making activities in the meantime european leaders have urged israel to submit all that information 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 evidence and that there is no credible proof iran has broken the agreement political science professor dr margaret backcross believes the claims from the israeli prime minister are unfounded it's a masterpiece show by meeting yeah and this is not the first one here is in no position to talk and criticize any country of its landing to have cleared with the proliferation treaty he declined he refused to sign it repeated leak germany has responded immediately they had a press release saying that it's going to examine those documents they are sure

that iran is a boy being a big. deal the only one is trump who is not convinced or wants to pull out and he is provoked. for a well known reason. having a sky high imagination has paid off for one young russian boy he went far beyond seeing outer space simply black and white. it's the same the stars like that don't exist in space i need to redraw. world's most orders of the soldiers we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided

to refer this question to the most competent space authority gross cost. us on the gulf coast the first part of my sad that i painted everything the right way the stars do exist in different colors they can be red green orange and many other colors. in the world but did you know that this was real or did 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 my past even have correctly engineering mice being the space ship and your instrument nickleby should is hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stars. something a little bit closer to home now or cosmonauts on the international space station

the be. the big. split from. hiren's was as protocol. on standing in the same sex standing stock poor now. because of a viral political gulp of the off the top of focus to be on the wall street other ballpark so we started to believe also a little while ago startled us out of the we're going to sue they both get out of go completely but.

the story at all three also goes to strike a very crucial to all who know you know they go for opening for our goof on you so . let's throw out the call course plus we'll talk about dark shadows don't look a lot darker. it's ok when she sees her you could fall in the routine. and if you become a scene. in time for venting. on

the welcome to worlds apart the recent series of advance 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 can dole 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 andrey linkov professor at cookman university insult professor link of its. good to have you on the show thank you very much for your time thank you very much at your service now 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 of well i would say cynically blackmail. because always

a last year u.s. administration or pretty well it's a more there to be a more precise president trump himself has walked a very hard to create an impression that huge is seriously considering a military operation against north korea nobody but president himself can possibly nor was he he was really going to strike north korea or he helps it was all bluff bluffing to create such an impression and to get you to go diplomatic results reza sincere or not this policy of persia has finally walked. or will september suddenly changed its edgy heute to sanctions. historically it was remarkably reluctant to

for really tough sanctions against north korea barred from august of september chair and they probably in somebody's got tougher than the united states saw the prior to shorter 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. evilest possible and yet all of a sudden they show this openness for one sided concessions agreeing to suspend military and ballistic tests while not asking the americans to suspend their military exercises is that a measure of how frightened they are all perhaps a calculation on their part that they may get more in later on bourse. bridges sure that in the long run as in north. america.

because you know i've been studying as a history and this is you see a history of how well. and his father and especially his grandfather many people aged russians solved americans jeff and they always view or vigorous but right now they are still frightened because i mentioned the cheney essential there yet to produce impact but in due time situation is likely to deteriorate and of course the dorm for to be shot at as they understand in case of war they can then freak a great deal of damage on the u.s. 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 even the prisoner with that this is what is going to happen if they don't stop well they decided to stop is a methyl fact exit actually introduce them on their missile tests

a nuclear launches not no no 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. veatch would probably make no scary else to seriously consider. their current statement ease basically just. many people forget by the according to the night is sixty eight treaties signed by all major nuclear powers including tonight the states russia and chair that and france and united kingdom all this countries are under obligation to

a venture to surrender the nuclear weapons. i think 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 isn't it do what they're 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 wrestling 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 politic lances do you think regional powers like russia like china actually want pyongyang to fully disarm absolutely because it's very often is under stuart budget russian government has always been deadly against nuclear north korea and this say or even more is a political bow to china you know all russia is now flooded visit and ten american

feelings so many people say vowels their gears elided strays they're good guys they have supported them not because in the end of the day first of all russia be a commie vice the cousin ours a nuclear countries needs nuclear superiority even more and it has no interest in emergence or for new nuclear powers because that i view because pickets now it's not scary or tomorrow it may be scary as they're discussing as seriously as the vietnam and the more nuclear power. this elice military significant russia becomes and it's only part of the story and as a part of the story is just all good proliferation and. norm to be probably courageous 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 they're 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 recklessly on their borders no security guarantees for russia provided by the russia nuclear and missile force or spirit all countries if they develop nuclear weapons they agree into 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 more scary but if north korea becomes nuclear it will become all the logical for south korea to warn your korea as well because yes now.

and probably believe they need nuclear weapons for defense but the us not forget it was a north korea beach invaded in one hundred fifty. official line is. does not exist so our study is in the u.s. occupied territory to be eventually liberate it's ruled my sheep period but if according to the north. this is a situation sort of war should not probably develop nukes and if that happens what about ship. well there about what about vietnam all this country's have a lot of developments by the way most cases against china and this is it is only by chinese so i'm happy about north korean 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 it looks it's basically if they can get much more then i areally stickily expect because. the north koreans a century except it was a joint military exercises will behalves it's the same situation i just discussed and we're 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 the last few months it did look like that the future deal if you include it just something about this scale or continuation of franklin of the joint exercises and recently at north scary as essential a set military exercises cavies us we don't care we don't worry about it the she is was a pretty mess of concessions so i would say that say about a year ago three years ago i used to say and many. well sooner or later not scary as probably they will see him down and start talking but they're going to extract a lot of every scene from the united states all parties now it seems that. major condition is just to make sure that americans will not start shooting second to have some of their decency.
