versions of this agreement that have been leaked over the last few days well they were criticized in the media as being either you or pro russian we can now have a look at exactly what was in what is in the book proposal so it will be no unilateral exit from the euro zone or the e.u. there won't be any referendum taking place on italy leaving either of those two they won't ask for two hundred fifty billions that you are worth of debt to be written off but there will be a real your go see a sion that will be attempted we're also looking at potentially a huge overhaul of immigration policy within the e.u. particularly the dublin treaty italy wants to see big changes there the both five star and league ignored wanting to push that through should they get it ok in the go ahead on this government they also want to see the scrapping of sanctions against russia and russia to be viewed as a trade partner not as a threat now if we look at the the versions that were leaked previously the word
1:31 pm
immediately was in there it's worth noting that isn't in the official final version the team published on friday and there's also talk of any universal basic income that would be seven hundred eighty euro per person living in italy that's going to see seventeen billion euros worth of public spending but also and ask for cash from the european union have to keep an eye on that but this is certainly going to be if it gets the green light a government that goes head to head with brussels there's going to be collisions here particularly when you look at the ideas that are being put ahead to scrap austerity and to get back spending public money that is not going to go down well in either frankfurt with the european central bank or in brussels it head office. of a speaking there will political scientists the reins of prickly does think if the deal is implemented it could cause a political shake up across europe. i think the key thing to here will be. the
1:32 pm
actual action of the government will be if a government is in place with this platform so rather than the words written in the agreement i think we'll have to see whether this government. actually starts starts governing starts running the country and which policies it actually tries to put into action so this could have an impact on other countries both in terms of the rhetoric towards europe and in terms of specific actions. now the european commission is triggered legislation aimed at protecting european companies from u.s. sanctions on iran on wednesday the block's leaders decided to activate what's called the blocking statute that will allow e.u. companies to recover losses incurred by u.s. restrictions and will render any related foreign court judgments void inside the e.u. european commission is also allowing the european investment bank to support e.u.
1:33 pm
investment in iran and encouraging member states to explore the possibility of one off bank transfers to the central bank of iran. the european union is committed to mitigating the impact of u.s. sanctions on european businesses and taking steps to maintain the growth of trade and economic relations between the e.u. and iran that began when sanctions were lifted. ok we can now go back to that press conference being held by the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander bank he's talking about. discharged from hospital yes. we have another case this is the murder of mr gould. he was murdered on the twelfth of march and unfortunately we don't have any access to the investigation we don't have any information after several requests numerous requests to the foreign office we were sent to scotland yard. a person to roll several littlest discordant here out there of this court and here unfortunately we didn't get any additional information
1:34 pm
that. we can use for cooperation with britain so almost two months passed since that time. very grueling criminal case and we don't see any cooperation with britain on this case so it is just the fact of life and we have course are criticizing britain government for not fulfilling the their international obligations but this is the new realities in britain today and we will continue to ask the demand the fulfillment of the. of the international law by the british so basically this is my introduction remarks and i'll be happy to answer all the questions i see the first on the earth you know on the back. could you could it could you use the microphone because you know it's just since we're live in this room.
1:35 pm
what the. actually we don't have much choice the first one of course this is the political level and we were putting this all over to question the political level and this is the question of the fulfillment by the british the they are international obligations because this is one way or another is connected with the a repudiation international reputation of the country and the second there are some . some treatise on the human rights and this questions we could raise on the on the different institutions like the castle of europe this exactly what we're going to do we're doing this step by step but i'll tell you frankly that
1:36 pm
i expect that britain that will change its mind and. start quicker rating by fulfilling its obligations we're not asking anything you know extraordinary or extra you know we want something that they should do you know to where they subscribe. will start from the first row. right this. is not. for us. to judge the microphone to be repeated once again yes. it doesn't sound russian and. say. i'm still have the right look and that is national of course because you know it's it's in the in the vienna convention and in sixty three and the person should say meet this person that and we want to
1:37 pm
see him because for the put to do it nobody saw the pictures nobody heard their voices nobody saw whether they are life or not we don't know that's why it's under the there's under the can be in the convention we should be sure that the person is . it live he's all right well she's all right and say for example i don't need your services it's wired with us so in this case we'll close the story but for the time being we don't have access so that's the problem. so. far as a national or international law he's supposed to say that i don't want your services personally and we want to see him person of the consular. diplomat should. be is that witness that the person is all right is in the put mental health he is not under the pressure then we make our conclusions and that's
1:38 pm
it and nothing. like. what i got the indication from the foreign office i met the. the. broughton who is the head of the security service. i got impression that will never see them . well. we have a livid that could rebuild some of this so we're going to continue raising this question . in front of the british government so this is the only we can do and i hope that hope that the british press will start you know bill a bit more let's say active and ask for the interview maybe it would be right to give them just just to wish them just to see them maybe they're not in the u.k. to take notice so that's why for us as i said we have limited capacity but still
1:39 pm
this is the question of the fulfillment of the international obligations by britain so so new realities. please. tell us you. still. don't know because he was sentenced he spent six years in prison. he's cleared and he was freed and he decided to go to britain. he's a free man he's a russian citizen as well as the british citizens and. he can do or do what you wish. so i think he'll settle his problems with the russian state. that say yes. well as for us you know my job is to defend the
1:40 pm
interests of the russian citizens that's our job and the rest certain mechanisms like as i said vienna convention and for us it's very important to understand you know what is everything all right with him or not everything is alright it's fine if something goes wrong then we'll continue asking for clue. if occasions but he's also very important for us in the future because we don't have access to any of this to gauge that is going on the only thing that we have is just delete in the press we don't have any even official version of what happened. it was only said that russia behind that. but the first. let's say jesus or prime minister speech was very simple that russia is the only country where no beach or could be produced that's what russia is guilty but we. will learn
1:41 pm
from for example from the from the czech republic from the president of the czech republic this certain amount of snow he choked was produced in czech republic today you probably have seen. the publication five times then. a dozen of the nato countries they also produced in the joke so basically the thesis of prime minister to resign me that russia is the only country that was kibble of doing things. was wrong and that what we said that any country who has advanced leps could produce this. substance so this so-called nerve substance and this is just a confirmation of our point of view and now we hear now we see more and more details on that matter and as i said czech republic is the good example and the
1:42 pm
other thing was quite interesting. prime minister may said. almost next day. when she was talking you know at the parliament that it was done by the russian or russian bear whatever that was called and then two months later the national security advisor mr said will. when he was making this speech on the records in the . defense comedian of the house of commons he said that that was just two weeks ago he said that they don't have any suspects so on the one hand russia was blamed for doing something and then two months later the very high fishel head of the national security council just. saying that they don't have any suspects from open to you of this is that you know the contradiction and that's
1:43 pm
supported our version fishel version that russia has nothing to do with this. event let's put this or poisoning with it we call it so this is a story for today and when a difficult position because. so many. things are said about russia you know in the newspapers and we're just trying to say that one ought to give the evidence because there's a there in this this is exactly what you're bringing to the court what's of the public opinion for the time being we don't have access to the people we don't have access to the investigation we have no information the only think we have is just to leaks in the press so this is really bothers us and that's why we so. let's head tough in the system that we want to see the details we want to see the evidence because the repudiation of my country is the stake but it's also the
1:44 pm
reputation of the u.k. is a stake. right now. just because i'm hardly walk off and. while you're really hearing on why you will. we don't know with theory we just have fed the right to effect the first fact is that we we couldn't get this room. live in person so we couldn't we can't meet her and this way we can make our own conclusion which is the real answer this is first and the second she has a she has a sister. sister is the niece or sergei scribble she wanted to come to see her sister from moscow because she's taking care of house car you know any mills and all those things and she was denied two times she was denied the visa so basically we see that yulia is isolated and nobody has access even the
1:45 pm
media. hasn't the access to her and so this is where we are today so that's the major problem for us. most recently behind. what we. will of russia. i think i think it's a it's a very political because if you look at the national security strategy nineteen not twenty fifteen. russia was the name there is that enemy number one of britain that's in the national security doctrine. later on we we have seen the statement or prime minister to resume that was the so-called bunk with speech last year. where she repeated this. and that was made very straightforward.
1:46 pm
then. this year the so-called fusion doctrine was adopted and that was published sometime in may know in march and this is. used to settle the national security adviser he was he was talking about that doctrine almost two hours in front of the defense committee and. the i mean the may the major message of that doctrine is to deter russia and to make russia you know sort of enemy. probably you have seen the statements of the minister of defense where we're supposed to shut up. until this things those of the sinew political culture here so then we're making the conclusion that something is wrong you know in the in the british policy towards russia and. as we stated in
1:47 pm
moscow this is the probably the biggest political provoke a sion against russia in this country so this is the official statement so this is how we consider this and that's why you know in the absence of any will we will cooperate any wish to do something together. without any evidence we're really puzzled because you know there should be something behind that. we don't have access to the russian public those that have access to anything what's happening here and there are a lot of conspiracy theories among the journalists in russia but this is not the official let's say point of your my government and we're still waiting for some kind of evidence in order to make the conclusions we're working very closely with the or p.c. w. this is the organization for prohibiting of the chemical weapons and we energize
1:48 pm
the article nine paragraph two of the. convention but unfortunately the answer is that we received formally from britain and they are not so this factory and almost no they're not giving the replies to our let's say questions but we're going to continue because you know we have no choice we have we have to know the truth and we'll continue to work. please are mine is this a serious issue. i have pushed mr you could lose it here there's the spirit would be that you know because the people who are listening. to you know these news and decision to be. british and beautiful to each and so there is a bird's hard. release of this with certain.
1:49 pm
groups before the incident. and also all. around why are harley and lucia. are still. a part of this is the only person. released so far. sooner as. well that you know i'll tell a printed that other than to about this cripple after the incident happened because i never heard of him and they were never met him. no relations no nothing so when the problem occurred so is when this happened in the souls barry was studying you know just to read you know who's the person you know what you know what he did than russia you know what he did here so soul will meet the history by
1:50 pm
the way if you want to. get more details we produced a report it's called souls will replace the white case it so we will go on our website and we are updating this report every week in order to bring more details as far as the investigation and our points of view so we signal for for us he was a new person and so now we know almost everything from the british press seven the evidence. as far as the russians. you were for this statement of to resume and. still basically that was quite a strong statement and. a lot of russians the. believe that. they are asking themselves where the life in the u.k. would be. the same as it was before. we have some.
1:51 pm
bad signs from the from the british realities because they were the one was that the russian aircraft their world was searched without any let's hear reasons for that it was very funny that it was said that this is in order to keep the britain safe and to chip with of the war there were arms or trucks on the board but the full goods somebody didn't tell them that that was the aircraft which was leaving the u.k. not coming so just give you the sense you know how it was done today we receive a lot of. letters from the russian citizens who have problems on the border when they're coming and. i'll tell you that just i can. tell you one by one learning.
1:52 pm
this is just we do this on the so-called on the discreet basis you know to understand you know what's happening here so this is just recording for one little we're right with my mother well now where did you keep visas but we're did we were detained and kept in custody for ten hours despite multiple requests to chip my mother's medical condition after detention and to give her personal medications back to her we were refused we were denied a phone call my mother's skin turned red and she was sherry. in a special condition we were needed that she would not answer questions well and that my pants with trembling so this is the just the just one letter where
1:53 pm
dozens of them and now we're trying to assess is it the coordinated paul is still the government or it's something that is happened by sometimes a severance at the airports and most of the russians the. taking out of the crowd out there being checked personally then a lot of questions were asked even the checking of the eiffel notebooks and all those things so basically it's really. it's it's a serious matter and this is the question of the welcoming to this country of the russians so we i think we'll finish the assessment next week and then we raised this question in front of the foreign office we want the explanations because we have a lead us we have the evidence we have people we have witnesses we have everything
1:54 pm
and we want to see the explanations. he's. an easy decision. a reason. for. concern because. what i know for sure is that there will be as usual. a lot of. british companies i mean the big one. i remember the by dissipation of the b.p. shell and you know some of this so i'm quite sure that most of the big british companies will come we don't expect any officials because as i understand that was the result of the statement of the sister as a maid she said. basically it wasn't welcome you know the official.
1:55 pm
visit so the british officials but what is interesting. we have two major guests at the speech and we're going to quarrel this is the president park wrong from france and also prime minister. so both of them. coming to south beach a route that they will be the mean guests and they're going to talk of course on many political issues but also. making huge exhibitions of france and and and japan last year it was missed the more you will be india and. the the equally the prime minister weekly. what is interesting is that. there will be a round tables and we want to develop the corporation with the different parts of the world so we expect the round table. every couple india united states
1:56 pm
finland france japan and and we expect something like ten thousand participants so this is the police where east meets west. quite sure that the suspect to look for him will be a success and what is interesting is that the name of the i mean the title of the forum is. to build economy of trust so most of the companies the tide of the different sanctions restrictions of this thinks so they want to talk openly you know what kind of world we want. what will be the future of the world economy and the world politics so it's that was the and that that was not the russian decision to put this title that was this some kind of a joint venture you know of the different participants so here we are in the south
1:57 pm
1:58 pm
be. do we. believe. that. we. do you. hear. the. well first of all i would just to reiterate the british fans welcome to russia personally i don't accept i don't expect any problems. by the way. i was reading you know just the reports from all over the world and i was really struck white why this is the only country who is complaining this is britain. all
1:59 pm
the rest they don't have any completely simply you know just working together trying to do their best. but only time i hear the complaints only from fluff and so i can assure you that we are going to do our best we accommodated mexican people i mean all the people of britain wanted to sent to russia. will be happy to to invite them of course we will provide propriety visas and everything so regular e i mean every single country has. four police people britain ask six so we agreed on that if you want to send six it's ok so basically on our side it's the one hundred percent welcome. but i hope that i remember. so many articles were written before the sochi olympic games and so it should prove to be very nice. see limping games and
2:00 pm
from my point to you there were no problems so i can assure you that we are going to do our best together with the british representatives as far as the. relations concerned of course i mean they are on a very little level. it's it's always a difficult you know to just assess it but speaking frankly i'm optimistic. it's i hope that. the time will come when the relations will be much better and the reason for that is the people of britain because you know i have so many friends here being a few years and all of them want a good relations so it's the only thing left is just to convince the government.
