colonel with the i.d.f. told us these very 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 margin 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. him or you have to put the beauty's or you win or you lose you cannot let people kill you you know they are to react you have to act first because the rule of the game in this anti-terrorist military rule is to be on the initiative not to be on the reactivity. they have been some key developments this week in a surrogate screw up our case the former double agent and his daughter of covering in the u.k. after being poisoned with a nerve agent novacek back in march so i can look at has the latest on the story.

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 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 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 choke 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 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 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 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 of the spot the uncertainty over the screwball poison in the u.k. is still blaming russia in a statement to this channel the british foreign office for peace that its claims that only moscow had the technical means motive to target the screwballs we spoke to former u.k. intelligence officer charles she brought to you about the contradictory data coming

from the global chemical weapons watchdog i'm sure there are many of you or 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 in the middle of an interview and say when in fact you meant milligrams but that is actually contradicted by what their p.c. w. them said 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 so it was grasped 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 states of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. a lot of putin will officially start his fourth term as russia's leader in just a few hours' time no egos not of looks ahead to the inauguration. this is a 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 named after a single georgian that is first called lattimer putin is said to cross on his part no curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length more than sixty meters. the next hall the whole hall 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 the glitters is gold they say well it couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this kill to kill as chantilly is even this scene this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place latimer will be standing in the far end of the hole once again in his life the same and. the words good will officially start his next tenure as the presidents of russia and members done up from the from the sea. a mosque is gearing up for its annual victory day parade we'll have more on that story and others still to come off a short break.

i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and 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 families it's the age of the shaper money kill the narrowness and spend each year to get the twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance with. that makes this minute. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. your out caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm

sorry suddenly 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 war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to lay in that mainstream media has met its maker. and much. of it.

the weekly or naughty international. parade featuring some of russia's newest military hardware joined one of the convoys on its way to the city center. during the parade itself red square access rules behavior rules are super strict but this is just a rehearsal so we can 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 tank driving skills myself here we go. let's see if i

can do something with that here i see a lot of these and. most of the most people. here in my state and you can't step with me. everyone is way too serious but perhaps that's what we should expect really with this kind of event. ok we really have to go now. no one allowed to drive today but the bat in charge just told me that you used to have to stay. i've got no

roof. now that we parked just outside red square which will be half of the time for the guys to do some military grade washing up. tranquil art. and other headlines donald trump has just five days to decide whether to extend u.s. sanctions relief for iran under that twenty fifteen you clear agreement iranian president has warned that abandoning the pact would have some far reaching consequences i got a bit o. if the u.s. pulls out of the nuclear deal it will soon realize that this decision will become a historic regret for them. the israeli prime minister however has a very different message on the nuclear agreement so this is

a terrible deal. i think this deal is a. trick never 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 he'll do the right thing. with iran nuclear agreement was struck three years ago between tehran and six world powers hailed as a huge breakthrough at the time the negotiations took around nine years in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to drastically scaled back its nuclear energy program as well as opening up its facilities to international inspection 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 b.b. 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 his decision on iran that all of a sudden they 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 un it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war. as you mention these really prime ministers urging trump to scrap the deal in a dramatic powerpoint presentation benjamin netanyahu accused iran of lying about its nuclear program he claimed to 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 of that data to the un's nuclear watchdog but along with the i.a.e.a. itself a number of experts suggest there was nothing new in the presentation and that there is no credible evidence of iran has broken the agreement but i think all

science professor dr margaret but ross 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 he's in no position to talk and criticize any country of slanging 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 is paid off for one young russian boy who went far beyond seeing outer space or something simply black and white. center stars like that don't exist in space and need to redraw. the orders of the soldiers we wanted to cheer him up and then we decided to refer those questions to the most competent space authority gross cost. us ask ourselves 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 that 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 become was your teacher i would have given you and they pass even have correctly engineering my spin of the spaceship and your instrument nickleby should is hugely image you need to you have expressed the mood and the state of the stars. so a little bit closer to home now or cosmonaut only in that space station has captured a spectacular optical illusion if film the moon apparently disappearing as it moves behind the earth in effect caused by refraction.

as i have learned from myself on the team here at r.t. international mccauley glorious issue will be here in about thirty minutes to bring you the latest global.

i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman ija killian narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so will more chance with. and thinks this minute. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our

coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go i mean eight percent of the problem here with you and we will show the great game the grid if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going let's go. a low. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me to just say the reno p.r.t. team's latest edition to make up is bigger than a better jersey. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

locked away secrets and shady financial set ups are nightmares for french tax inspectors and customs officers. we question the customs investigator a specialist in fraud and the trafficking of cultural assets. faced with such scams he recognizes his powerlessness. on credits for city costco and a team office of more only a sinner why are your gal the news. on the export. oh found out all the reporters she all said that's it on e s it's a shit to each image think of it on the contrary i don't. despise. could have been if you don't have a blanket god he's also a device he's got his powerful fineness. we meet up again with

even with all of his indictments he's earned a shady reputation but after thirty years in the business he's as tough as nails every year in may he heads to basel in switzerland for the biggest art fair in the world art basel. he flies in a private jet for which he pays fifty thousand dollars a year. despite his tangles with the law he wants to be in the right places. the ball something that will want to go out a bunch of sick little. say that money just as strong and yet people see it up to gold to be something else it was. the. right thing to do so i'm sitting here listening to make enough audio as you go but check out the show before us which was it but they couldn't get. the set but it's at that moment he

did. i said. but they said it went up about obama's because the finale. played about it. something. help us to step up somebody from a calculus but you know what's that been on the board it can be. but he did it up and he's. burning off his private jet we soon see that his controversial reputation causes fewer problems than predicted. if. mr. paul had to do it just to. see his first appointment is with one of the art fairs founders arends a rudolph. if both men have businesses in singapore and are good friends

i should feel make what you do more to. make you should take the older predicting one off also in discussion could be of new may i just. want to modify my idea. to put the filmy. doesn't. know if the opponent is they've been disputed by many yet but so yes i'm optimistic. that it. will set up a so they can see some of the. four thousand artists exhibit their works at art basel it attracts the general public but more importantly the biggest players on the international art market. thank you gallery owners collectors and curators of the world's museums. accompanied by his art consultant sixteen yves bouvier is here to check out the new

trends. most of the works on show come from the store rooms of the geneva freeport some two hundred fifty kilometers away. v.a. is here to show his fellow professionals that he's still in the game and is still to be taken seriously. to build up all the automation on a say i probably factors are good but last week and most of. those oh ya feel me oh yes how are you doing. very. last question.

so that was. the man on his cell phone is david. clearly troubled by our camera hebrew v.a. quickly calls his assistant to go reassure him. use it the way you did you. need. to treat just like it most of them to please him it's the bosses. but he has no rights regarding our footage to. fight the likes of. david no mud isn't just anyone he's the man with three hundred picasso's the head of one of the most powerful families in the art world the numb odds renown dealers. here's their stand at art basel mobiles by calder mirror who's fun tanos and because of those.

and also a roy lichtenstein and his own do you think all of them stars of modern art. collection is valued at almost three billion dollars thousands of works most of which are stored at the geneva freeport. maybe the reason david no mud prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. the story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. even as a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or

a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box it was here in the paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar steiner for his stolen paint. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in

one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had already been sold by the authorities. for the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. particularly because its description is so vague. the document only indicated that it was a painting signed by do jani portrait of a man. the detective had no idea what the painting looked like. he had to find a photo of it at all costs. by consulting peepers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. it states that staten or had sent the model jani to the venice biennale of one nine hundred thirty. i travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be anally archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. in

a photograph. james palmer was delighted he'd found it. this photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to. ten portraits of women and two of men. the one on the right was already identified and well known. the painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. so now you've got reference to mr stener owning the painting you've got reference to portrait of a man. and you have a photograph that's the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. but where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the

auction rooms archives and museums. and after a few weeks ago. he found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue of an auction held at christie's in one thousand nine hundred six. the painting was entitled seated man with a cane. but who owned it. it was acquired by a company based in panama international art center whose registration document is seen here. its rightful owner is unnamed. and yet palmer refused to give up and finally discovered another lead to finding the true owners. over the years the work appeared in a number of catalogs. and every time alongside the name of one of the most prestigious guy.
