when a lot of good i'm going to choose to live and there's going to see our interests lie more with the u.s. and with iraq and they're going to not to risk describing the sanctions were the real impact is going to be that remains to be seen we should not forget that the e.u. politically on foreign policy issues is has always been strong on words and symbols but make sure real issues. now the former russian spy surrogates get a pal who was poisoned by nerve agent in the u.k. has been discharged from hospital he and his daughter were admitted a march the fourth after being exposed to a substance known as nabil chalk in the city of seoul spring it's going to power was once a russian intelligence officer but was stripped of his rank after it was revealed he was spying for the u.k. in two thousand and six he was sentenced to thirteen years in jail however he was released four years later in a high profile spy swap and he moved to the u.k. the russian ambassador to the u.k. says that russia is still being denied conscious access to him though in violation

of international law. unfortunately we're doing their work service to this people to sort of you do through boy or the russian citizens if they don't want to or assistant this one but we want to see them because of that put to do you know we just saw the pictures nobody. nobody saw or not we don't know. ok let's get the latest now them from paula boyko from my u.k. good afternoon polly some good news then i guess going to power has been discharged but what else do we know at this point it doesn't seem an awful lot. well yeah in regards to him not that much the medical team at the hospital has said that he is going to be continuing his recovery outside of souls redistrict hospital and in terms of his location now that's a closely guarded secret we can assume he's been whisked off to a safe house much like his daughter. was when she was discharged from the same

hospital about a month ago and at the time she put out a statement saying that she didn't want any contact with the russian consular services she was appealing for privacy that was put out via the british police and despite being a russian citizen she officially rejected russian consulate help she's been kept well away from the public eye and from the glare of the media and i think we can expect something very similar to happen in relation to her father going forward artie's requests for interviews and statements with. the new script i'll have all been denied throughout the hospital stay that they had and i don't think we're going to hear that much more about the script tells any more from british or storage fees at least and that is in itself is very interesting given the massive diplomatic fallout the attack on them in seoul's very on the fourth of march has

sparked take a look at how the poisoning of the former russian double agent has unfolded over the past two months. the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act again a segue into the script. that can be no suggestion of business as usual in relation to our interaction with russia mr speaker this action has happened against a backdrop of a well established pattern of russian state aggression. and that sort of rhetoric

continues it's really been adopted as the established narrative in this case here in the u.k. just a few days ago we had the head of m i five andrew parker accusing russia of the reckless poisoning of the script files so politically this is a case where russia has firmly been established as the culprits even though the head scientist at porton down in the laboratory where the nerve agent was identified here in the u.k. they had scientists that has said publicly that scientists can't identify the origin of where the knob used in the attack came from and in regards to where the child came from the russian ambassador who we saw speaking in a press conference a little bit earlier he's been saying that the u.k. government's continued assertion that it could have only come from russia is coming increasingly under question take

a listen to what alexander yack event had to say about it. throw this to recently that russia is the only country that was cute thinks. it was wrong this certainly won't do for the troops could use to. do small amounts of were produced interested in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be critical to pretend that such a thing never. so the situation as it sounds now is that sergei script file is out of hospital and it's safe to assume that the police are going to keep talking to him in regards to the investigation scotland yard has released a statement saying that the counter-terrorism investigation into the attack continues and that they're keeping the progress of it under wraps as is the state of the security arrangements surrounding. that is all very much

confidential but perhaps most importantly what's interesting here is that despite the huge scandal and the political fallout that since you'd as a result of what happened in salzburg on the fourth of march and the diplomatic expulsions of the war of words with the kremlin it appears that investigators in this case are still none the wiser as to who the assassin was that smeared that nerve agent on the script door handle of their house in cells very. little the questions that it was are to go with the latest on the poisoning. your security international going to take a quick break now i'll be back with more news their own too. the united states can always better tools its news and its tax on other

countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the country music you're talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the most. because without us there will be. one else chose the same wrong but all roles just don't hold. any new world

that is yet to shape out this day comes to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in twenty four you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just always. put me in the neighborly is that i'm here schooling you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. those who took. it in this state over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these an article that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

welcome back now a program for italy's new coalition government between the euro skeptic five star movement on the far right party northern league has been unveiled it does come after more than two months of political deadlock following the march the fourth elections which resulted in a hung parliament our europe correspondent peter oliver has more details. it's been called the contract for the government of change it certainly puts out plenty of change in those proposals now this was published by the five star movement it's part of their coalition agreement deal with the far right league and nord party should they agree then world those two sides get to put forward a prime minister and it's up to the italian president then to decide whether he gets his vote or her or she gets his vote and they become the next prime minister

if that makes sense that's where we are at seventy days on since italy had an election it's this is the attempt to try and get some kind of consensus government now the preliminary versions of this agreement that had been leaked over the last few days while 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 proposal so they 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 that would 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 a head 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 in you head office. let me put it in his expressed indignation over the detention of the russian journalist killed by the ukrainian security services the head of the kiev bureau of the russian news agency ria novosti was arrested in training capital on tuesday on allegations of treason. this is interested it is being charged with treason for simply doing his job i can't remember anything like this in a long time. but spied heavy rain people have gathered in front of the ukrainian embassy in moscow to voice support for the detained journalist medina courtin or was there. we're here at the ukrainian embassy in moscow where people have gathered to protest over the a rest but the journalistic. now he was in church upbeat during russia's news agency region always working in kiev and he was a detained on tuesday people who came here and there are

a lot of journalists here other people who are connected to different media professions well they told us that there are here to express their support for the real now he was arrested in kiev fund and he was transported to another city in the a self in ukraine where the a local court played team under arrest for two months at the moment he is facing charges of treason any found guilty he faces up to fifteen years in prison during the court hearing he had a chance to speak. i think that the keys initiated by the security service of ukraine against me used direct and then disguised pressure and freedom of speech in ukraine the covers of his relatives to say that they have heard and nothing since his arrest we also managed to speak to his wife who we know to get more information on the case has just. learned about his arrest from the internet or then contacts of his driver he told me that it happened in the car park five people in civilian

clothes came up to him grabbed him and bundled him into a car and left no one contacted me no one from the ukrainian services from official informed me about the arrests his wife also told us that she really has a medical condition and that she needs medication more also officer shelf the news agency will raided by ukrainian special services rates lasted for several hours documents means of communications were confiscated during the searches several apartments of journalists working for the news agency were raided as well coming back to this place here in moscow at the ukrainian embassy people have gathered to protest over the arrests of the journalists. washing off the company to soften you don't forget we got plenty stories going to our website you can find that at r.t. don't call me i'll be back with the headlines that in about fun.

billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten by color blind stamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you long to be called for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per circuit first shock and then bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

german chancellor angela merkel is on an official visit to russia with iran syria and ukraine topping the agenda. from the arabian nuclear deal to all callings of sanctions the russian and german leaders. this variety of topics but stress that nothing will threaten their friendship and partnership. are also to come european commission triggers never before used legislation created more than two decades ago to shield you companies from the impact of u.s. sanctions on iran and former russian spy pilot who was poisoned by nerve agent in the u.k. in march is discharged from hospital however moscow says it's still being denied

access seeing him in violation of international law. now we're starving is the former russian spy statistically powell who was poisoned by nerve agent in the u.k. has been discharged from hospital in his daughter were admitted on march the fourth after being exposed to a substance known as the chalk in the city of seoul sprit was once a russian intelligence officer but was stripped of his rank after it was revealed he was spying for the u.k. in two thousand and six he was sentenced to thirteen years in jail however he was released four years later in a high profile spy swap and he moved to the u.k. the russian ambassador to the u.k. says that russia is still being denied consular access to him in violation of international law. unfortunately we don't ever exist to this people to sort of you

do it through one of the russian citizens if they don't want our assistance this one but we want to see them because of the foot to do nobody saw the pictures nobody heard the voice nobody saw with a zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero not we don't know. ok let's get more information now she joins us from our u.k. office good afternoon again polly good news as we said this has been discharged but still not an awful lot known about the case and war facts coming forward seem to be pretty scamp. yeah i don't think we're going to get many more facts so i guess script file has been discharged from hospital we know that the medical team of said that he's going to be continuing his recovery outside of souls redistrict hospital in terms of his location well that's a closely guarded secret we can assume that he has been whisked off to a safe house much like his daughter daughter union square pile was back when she was discharged from the same hospital last month and at the time scriptural put out

a statement via the police saying that she was appealing for privacy and that despite being a russian citizen she was refusing all consular assistance from russia she's been kept well away from the public eye and out of the glare of the media and i think we can expect something very similar with a square pile to happen in fact i don't expect we're going to hear much more about him or his daughter from the british isles or ts at least and that in itself is very interesting given the massive scandal that the that poisoning sparked in the diplomatic fallout that we've had as a result between russia and the u.k. take a look at how the for the poisoning of the former double agent and his daughter has unfolded over the past two months.

well. the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against . the script. that can be no suggestion of business as usual in relation to our interaction with russia is just because this has happened against a backdrop of a well established pattern of russian state aggression. and that sort of rhetoric continues and it's really been adopted sort of as the established narrative in regards to this case here in the u.k.

just a few days ago that head of m i five andrew parker said that russia was guilty of the reckless poisoning of the script files so politically this is a case where moscow has very much been singled out as sort of the unequivocal culprit even though the head scientist at the government report and down where the sample of the nerve agent was identified as novacek the head scientists that has said that scientists can't ascertain the origin of the novacek used to poison the square piles in regards to where the novacek may have come from well the russian ambassador has said in his press conference that he was giving a little bit earlier on that the u.k. government's continued assertion that it could have only been russia behind this attack well that is becoming increasingly under question take a listen to what the russian ambassador alexander yeah convention. i had to say

these produce to resent me russia is the only country that was cuban thinks. it's wrong there's certainly more to flow the tour was produced to. do small amounts of money were produced interested in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be hypocritical to britain such a thing never heard. so surrogates out of hospital and it's safe to assume that the police are going to want to have a few more conversations with him as well scotland yard has released a statement today saying that the counterterrorism investigation into the attack continues and they're going to be that keeping the progress of the investigation under wraps as well as the presumably now extensive and complicated security arrangements so rounding gay script all that is confidential as well and i think

the most important thing to keep in mind with this case is that despite the huge scandal that it's created the political fallout that it's caused the diplomatic expulsions in the war of words between london and moscow it appears that investigators are still none the wiser as to who the assassin was that smeared this toxic nerve agent on the door handle of the script hours house in solsbury sure ok thanks polly that was our reporting there from london. the u. is firing back at the u.s. following washington's you know letter withdrawal from near a new nuclear deal european commission is triggering legislation to protect e.u. companies doing business with iran from u.s. sanctions and it would also allow e.u. firms to recover losses arising from u.s. actions as it has instructed the european investment bank to facilitate investment

in 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 but artie's more aghast have takes a closer look now at the souring relations between u.s. and e.u. and the latest move by brussels. no arguing with it america and europe had something special a relationship unlike any other they did everything together condemned rogue regimes slapped naughty countries with sanctions even they wanted to get we have a very strong relationship with our friends and partners our friends and us administration we have a really great relationship close friends allies and this is this very special relationship this is us almost too good to be true and it seems it was

money trumps all now that america has unilaterally pulled out of the nuclear deal with iran it could start sanctioning european states companies that haven't the to do business with iran e.u. leaders merkel mckown others tried to change trump's mind with love. graduations and a great victory. i . think you. except love has nothing on money europeans and facing american sanctions that's not very nice is it not something friends would do looking at the latest

decisions of president. so i want to see them feeling. like that. europe has had enough they stand to lose cash because of america and they won't let that happen to complete the work as the european commission we have a duty to protect european companies. we know me to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six. what you're a business doing is using a statute initially developed to circumvent washington's trade embargo on cuba the law basically protects european states from laws or sanctions implemented outside of europe if you can see a political resolution look at america's new ambassador to germany hours after being confirmed he threatens german companies.
