of fully justified in the nation america friends of course israel the full right to defend them so we are not say seeing just a scene. 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. it in war you have to put the realities or you win or you lose you cannot let people kill you you know they are to react you have to ask first because of the rule of the game in this terrorist military rule is to be. not to be on the reactivity. of winsome key developments this week in a surrogate screw up our case the former double agent on his daughter now recovering in the u.k. after being poisoned with a nerve agent over the shock back in march so i thought vigor picks up the latest

on a story criminal investigations usually work towards conclusions as new information and facts come to light but with the script bulkiest 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 of 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 or so 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 no one chokes 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 bri 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 there were no novacek 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 are liable something else we saw this week was the u.k. national security advisor 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 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 despite the uncertainty over the script of poisoning the u.k. is still blaming russia in a statement to r.t. the british foreign office repeat that its own claims that only moscow had the technical means motive to target the screwballs we spoke to former u.k. intelligence officer child's shoe bridge 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 for. the. one can look at that and say well ok it's very easy probably to make a mistaken 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. selves have said it 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 huge amount could only come from a state of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. a lot of input and will officially start his fourth term as russia's leader in just a few hours' time no egos not of looks ahead to the moderation ceremony. this is why i'm opposed to stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps before he gets to the halls of the palace also besides the inauguration

ceremony. this is the whole of military glory things half assing george and it is the 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 of a glitters is gold lace a well it 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 latimer will be standing in the far right end of the hole once again in his life the same and hold thirty three words it will officially start his next tenure as the president so russia remember it's gone up from the kremlin. moscow's gearing up for inciting old victory day parade about story and more still to come after this short break.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last bang turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending two to twenty million flyers. it's an experience like nothing else on earth because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so what more chance for players. and leagues more new to.

a moscow house held its final rehearsal for wednesday's victory day parade featuring some of russia's newest military hardware was on one of the convoys on its way to the city center. but you see during 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. but i'm going to. actually have some test driving skills myself here we go where. let's see if i

can do something with that here this is about all of these and. most of your skills . you have not stated 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 it. well no one allowed to drive today but the baton charge just told me that i used to have to and stand up. no

roof. now that we park just outside red square. fortunately you will have moved and it's time for the guys to do some great washing up. ilya tranquil art. now the news donald trump has just five days now to decide whether to extend u.s. sanctions relief for iran under twenty fifty nuclear agreement there were any and president has warned that abandoning the pact would have far reaching consequences i gather that oh if the us pulls out of the nuclear deal it will soon realize that this decision will become a historic regret for them. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu views the situation very differently has

a polar message on that nuclear agreement so this is a terrible deal. i think this deal is a bad bad that. it should never have been concluded. and if you do. president trump. will make as the solution on what to do with the nuclear deal. i'm sure you'll do the right thing. the iran nuclear deal was struck three years ago between tehran and six world powers and hailed as a huge breakthrough at the time the negotiations took nearly nine years in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to drastically scale back its nuclear energy program as well as open up its facilities to international experts political analyst daniel mcadams believes that key figures in the us administration 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 is good 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 is ridiculous bomb thing at the u.n. it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war as you mentioned these very prime ministers urging trump to scrap the deal in a dramatic powerpoint presentation benjamin netanyahu accused iran of lying about its nuclear program he claims to have fifty five thousand pages of intelligence files on iran's secret bomb making activities. in the meantime european leaders have urged israel to submit all of 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 presentation and there

is no credible evidence arar has broken the agreement that it will science professor dr margaret but trust believes the claims from the israeli prime minister are unfounded it's a masterpiece show by yeah and this is not the first one he's in no position to talk and we should try any country of slanging to have. with the proliferation treaty. line used to sign it repeatedly germany has responded immediately had a press release saying that it's going to examine those documents they are sure that iran is. the only one is trump who is not convinced or wants to pull out. and.

provoked. for a well known reason. having a high sky sky high imagination has paid off for one young russian boy who went far beyond seeing outer space is simply black and white. it's the same the stars like that don't exist in space and need to redraw. the shoulders of the soldiers we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided to refer this question to the most competent space authority ross cosmos. losses because i'll start first cause 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 did you know that this was real or did it come from your imagination that's how i imagined the stars to be i like your page to become was your teacher i would have given you and they plus you even have correctly engineering wise think the space ship and yours to normal vision is hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stars. a little bit closer to home cosmonaut on the international space station has captured a lunar optical illusion if filmed the moon apparently disappearing as it moves behind the earth an effect caused by refraction check out this astonishing video footage.

it's. quite incredible sight better that for the self for myself i the team here at r.t. showed us at about thirty five minutes though for more global news headlines we'll see about that. it's. her.

ministry as police forces in the city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what mike was hoping one of the board doesn't own from the eyes of god i'm stumped and just go home has got a gun to the woods as the theater did out on into the sea it's enough to supply britain proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that a such a security risk and when you have a black box operating in the public i think microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that to think off message put more. missile defense of the selling this is also the only one of them will fall into almost up the wall did mr woodward was obviously the bags of the incident on this

in the us all. done with the all business stopping there was a sting and all the fun is up and his cards on the fine. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of also but there was one last question and by the way who's going to be our coach . guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go i mean eight percent of the problem here with you and the great great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone because i want to and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one i was ok she needs to

just let the reader be on to the team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. below and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle chromes foreign policy could be described as double speak the president doesn't have a defined policy approach even goals are difficult to discern is this what the art of the deal means is trumps foreign policy making america great again and the world safer.

talking terms foreign policy i'm joined by my guest michael la who is in washington he's a professor of strategy at the johns hopkins university also in washington we have and then you for achi he is the director of grassroots political consulting and in new york we cross to george samuel he's a fellow at the global policy institute in london and author of the book bombs for peace are gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated michael let me go to you first in washington you are after all a professor. strategy so given what we've seen of this it is also they say does this president have a foreign policies strategy go ahead mr strategists. a strategy can be the thing itself or it can be a representation of the formulas and nostrums that float among the the privilege the ruling elites and thus i think you see trump speaking to the people who most enthusiastically support him right his base so-called and

he is speaking for them as in their voice and in that sense much of the rhetoric and delivery of his foreign policy. is really shaped to fit his constituency and part of that is sloughing off this elaborate theater and highly choreographed ballet that marked elitist foreign policy since one thousand nine hundred five and so a lot of that's for show and it's very effective now when it comes to the substance of his foreign policy it also reflects his constituents and they are they like the idea of america first and of course he uses that phrase and so i call his world view foreign policy a kind of america for version of world leadership which may sound contradictory

but i don't think it is why what it means essentially is detached i think it is it's attaching the op had finish your thought go ahead finish. no finish your thought no the point is there's a whole level of spin and representation that is not necessarily mord to the actual relationships he's pursuing so a lot of this is very self-conscious grandstanding for the domestic audience and he's toning down the leadership and and saying we will be a world leader if it's really helps the u.s. ok all right i guess that's why it's so confusing under president george because if we if we just take what michael said there i mean if trump is you know representing his base then he's portraying everything he said he would do for the base ok looks like good nation building in syria. tearing up probably that one of the most

important nonproliferation agreements with iran ok i'll say it i didn't like obama's foreign policy but i thought the iran deal was a good deal and it was shown to be a good deal why is he doing that is again grandstanding just because obama did it is that a strategy go ahead george. well i think the his antagonism towards obama trying to differentiate himself from obama plays a part in it but i think that trump really has no strong views on anything i mean he's been on pretty much on every side of every issue so out his long life i mean he's been for abortion against abortion for immigration against immigration for gun control against gun control so what he ran on in two thousand and sixteen wasn't really his final view on anything but he found that that kind of america first. and a kind of quasi isolationist policy worked for him and he swept into power it probably

rather surprised them that it was as successful as it was once he got into office he quine of abandon all of that and occasionally he still comes out with his rhetoric about the or we've wasted seventeen trillion dollars in the middle east we could have spent all this money on building roads and bridges it were you know but he's still pursuing the same policy in the middle east he still comes out with the stuff that he was doing in two thousand and six the end of a well wouldn't it be great if we got along with russia yeah but he hasn't done anything about it and you know he's had every opportunity since winning the election of seizing this issue and saying hey i ran on this platform and this is this is what's going to happen you know that we are going to abandon these ridiculous projects in the middle east we are going to try to improve relations with russia this is what i won the election but he hasn't done it and he has quite

happily just gone along with the the washington swamp that he had so eloquently denounced in two thousand and sixteen yet again you know in this in the same foreign policy swamp denounced him as candidate ok and what it will and i think it's pretty clear that you know because his appointees are slow in coming because congress will appoint. vote on them you still have these old deep state actors still there and then he on top of it. surrounded him with people like john bolton and pompei you know i mean they have nothing to do with the vision that he presented during the campaign now i do agree with you in georgia he's flip flopped all through his life go ahead daniel in washington few ways to simplify things his main foreign policy is wherever he is a personal financial interest and branding opportunity and that's really first and foremost where his heart and soul is being and as george articulated this is a lifelong democrat who turned himself into

a tea party evangelical conservative for that thirty six percent base to win the election which was a thirty year record low turnout and he did a brilliant job at it the irony the grand irony is now that he holds office he has given capitulated everything there is no white house policy toward the intelligence community the pentagon or state whatsoever they are autonomous to create their own and the one thing he stayed true on throughout that whole thing is he's like a donald w. obama he is a hawkish neo con we were going to get that whether you had hillary clinton were donald trump and if you really look as to what he spoke at on the campaign trail and throughout his life that's his ideology so that reflects very well as to why we are where we are in syria why a bolton is hired you know in case they go she don't go well in north korea the

iran deal and i'm not a president obama apologist either but that is the one other kavya peter that you pointed out the iran deal t p p paris climate accord in the on the go she asian for him is he pledged on the campaign trail that he wasn't obama he has distain for him on behalf of his person. loyalty with the clintons ironically over many years and that guy can go in the opposite way of obama on a lot of those key issues you know michael one of the issues that during the campaign and after he became president is there his critics would say that he would be injurious to american allies let's think in terms of the middle east and and nato ok but you know surrounded by people. supporting policies that in fact do do that when we look at the a ran deal and we had mccrone in washington merkel is going to show up i mean they're advocating that they keep the treaty

alive and you know in this this is really interest to the alliance i mean i would like to see nato completely dissolved and have a completely new security arrangement in europe i think that's what donald trump actually was thinking about during the campaign so i mean what the outside world must be look at i know they are looking at him in bewilderment because where is he going to go next i mean the idea tack on syria recently that was against international law the whole world looks at it that way not the foreign policy blob in washington they probably never heard of international law go ahead michael. i think that the u.s. presidency for some time maybe thirty forty years has been captured by. the sort of set relationships that it has to have and in many ways the dependent countries of nato even the great powers like france germany and britain are essentially pulling the strings and i think part of trump's approach was

to put them in a situation where they felt less secure or about the relationship and thus would be more pliant and more willing to to come. to to mr trump and that's seems to have worked yes it might as his blustering yeah and then and it seems to have created the movement in north korea. neither germany certainly not britain and france either are willing to step up and take over the defense of their realm and they are not merely dependent on the u.s. but they've grown yes. needy and so the u.s. doesn't want to be in a position where it has to jump every time nato gets a twitch and so what he's doing is redefining.
