who had serious issues and those needed to be addressed and the parents failed by failing to address those issues but not only that having a deadly firearm in the house that wasn't protected enough or you could take it as you said jennifer we could talk about this will not run afraid we'll have to leave it the international criminal law attorney jennifer braden many thanks thank you. former russian spies so goes grupo has been discharged from hospital in the u.k. he and his daughter yulia were admitted on march the fourth after being exposed to a nerve agent known as nobody in the english city of salzburg so well served as a russian intelligence officer but was stripped of his rank after he was caught spying for britain in two thousand and six he was sentenced to thirteen years in prison but he was released four years later in a high profile spy swap the russian ambassador to the u.k. says russia is still being denied contra access to him in violation of international law. unfortunately we're doing it works as to these people to sort of you do this through books for the russian citizens if they don't want your

assistance for him but we want to see the biggest bill to put to do with the pictures nobody through voice nobody saw with a lot we don't know surrogate script powell 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. was back when she was discharged from the same hospital last month 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 surrogate script file to happen that in itself is very interesting given the massive scandal that their poisoning sparked and 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. government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against and to 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 in regards to where the

novacek came from well the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander yack event i was just saying in that press conference that as this story unfolds more doubt is being cast upon the u.k. government's continuous assertion that it could have only been moscow behind the attack take a listen. from for example from the from the czech republic from the president to a church group of this certain amount to from the each of those produce to your group of delusive you thesis produce to receive me that russia is the only country that was kid of group think. it was wrong scotland yard has released a statement saying that the counterterrorism investigation into the attack continues and that they're keeping the progress of it under wraps 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 in the war of words with the kremlin and it is that investigators in this case are still none the wiser as to who the assassin was. smeared that nerve agent on the script aus door handle of their house in cells brain. passenger plane has crashed in cuba shortly after takeoff from her van and killing more than one hundred people the boeing seven three seven came down in a field near jose marti international airport with one hundred four passengers and nine crew on board these are the latest pictures of the crash site video agency ruptly at least three people have survived and are in a critical condition local reporter one how come you know as more. our plane that was on our local flight from have entered wall given all been on the northeastern

side of cuba our tourist resort but where lots of cubans live we've been told that the families. of those who lived in olguin of the victims are being ferried are being brought to have an hour tonight they'll be in a van or helping in the identification of the victims the three survivors are women and are in hospital one of them was being operated on the others are being studied their cases being studied we don't know yet but we will all soon. they have promised a full investigation top cuban authorities were on the side on the scene of this tragedy of the president himself precedent. it's just been sworn into office he was there the minister of transportation was there everybody was there trying to help and figure out what happened it's a tragedy by all means so local fly a passenger fly that airlines have list from a mexican air company global air i understand is the name and on the crew was

a mexican crew also. but a very very sad situation indeed a buoying seven three seven with more than one hundred people on board. german chancellor angela merkel is in the russian black sea resort of sochi where she's been meeting flooding near putin artie's elaborate i get has the details. it didn't seem at all especially at the very beginning like two political watchers internationally i mean we're meeting here and saatchi when angola merkel stepped out of her limousine vladimir putin was standing there with roses and that was just when the newly reappointed russian prime minister dmitri medvedev was walking out of the building and the chancellor wished him good luck in russian.

then later during the press conferences both leaders kept saying how you know political differences can stop them and their countries from being partners if not friends fifty one sort of you we have strategic interests to maintain good relations with russia and maintaining dialogue is crucial i want to underline that if we want to overcome issues we need to conduct dialogue there are many topics where we're united. germany is one of our key trade partners we just started by german goods in high volumes which supports jobs in germany our cooperation common enterprises these are essential factors influencing the lives of germans and russians but the russian and german governments do have a whole lot of issues between them from the ukrainian crisis to even the script all cases and in one way or another all these issues were brought up during the talks or the press conference however since donald trump said goodbye to the so-called iranian nuclear deal berlin and moscow do genuinely see eye to eye at least on one

issue no official your own germany great britain france and all our colleagues in the e.u. support the iran young nuclear deal and we are sticking to it we from the european side are discussing the situation with iran the agreement isn't perfect but it's better than none we should continue negotiating with iran and on that we are united . a lot of approaching and anger merkel promised to make an extra effort to make sure that the nuclear agreement stays in place now moving on to sanctions usually when you hear merkel talks the first thing that comes up on your mind is anti russian sanctions but so to say the season is different since economic sanctions and all other kinds of punishment you can think of have become the favorite toy or rather the political tool of the donald trump administration we've been hearing

about all kinds of sanctions against iran against russia and even against european companies that deal with russia and those that deal with iran and in this case a joint russia german project called nord stream two for the direct russian natural gas deliveries to germany is now in jeopardy lot of our putin was asked about it his reaction was cause and he did point out that the issue of north stream two is one of the very few things if not the only thing where the obama administration and the donald trump administration share common ground. u.s. position on the north stream project is well known in this case we see a rare situation of the white house actually agreeing with the legacy of the a bomb or administration there's no doubt that these kind of summits will continue in the future and possibly next time with the leaders of france and ukraine to sort out

the political crisis in that eastern european country the so-called normandy format . well it was also in sochi eleven years ago where a meeting between putin and generated headlines after the russian president brought along his pet labrador some western journalists suggested putin was deliberately trying to intimidate merkel playing on her fear of dogs who she later said he had no idea that might be a problem and apologized and as our reporter there mentioned the two leaders have a long history.

with. the president the russian president likes to drink german beer and sometimes there is a possibility that we can exchange i've also got some very good smoked fish. here angela from time to time sent me a couple of bottles of red about it being. the e.u. is fighting to protect its trade with a wrong despite the u.s. imposing sanctions the european commission is triggering a raft of legal measures to save the iranian nuclear deal after the u.s. pulled out 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 artie's more against the of takes a closer look at the souring relations between the us and the you 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 low threatens life 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 mack on the others tried to change trump's mind with love.

graduations and i think a great victory. i . think you. except love has nothing on money europeans a facing american sanctions that's not very nice is it not something friends would do looking at the latest decisions of president. bush like that who needs enemies. europe has had enough they stand to lose cash because of america and they won't let that happen. to divert as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies. we now need 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 you can see a political resolution look at america's new ambassador to germany hours after being confirmed he threatens german companies as donald trump said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of rons economy german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately my advice after a long ambasador career explain your country's policies and lobby the host country but never tell the host country what to do if you want to stay out of trouble germans are eager to listen but they will resent instructions from us bully boy

tactics haven't gone down well in europe the block is finally showing its teeth so the new different worlds we defend on this subject as all others is the trading sovereignty of europe and what we demand is to be exempted without any conditions and limits it with new was that you can't do it what do we want to be able to buy blindly to what americans tell you or do we want us europeans to say you can have an economic interests a move want to have economic relations with russia what can you say every relationship has its bumps it's just that some bumps and in divorce we should not overestimate the importance of trade with iran on the all which in europe this is a matter that might be very crucial to specific smaller companies that for example have a large part of their trade with iran i mean the big companies of gold i'm going to choose. for the better and they're going to see our interests lie more with the

u.s. and with iran and they're going to not to risk these kind of sanctions where the real impact is going to be that remains to be seen we should not forget that the e.u. on politically on foreign policy issues it has always been strong on words on symbols but not much on real implementation. of italy's leading us skeptic party have drawn up a plan for a coalition government this follows months of political deadlock since the general election in march artie's europe correspondent peter oliver has the 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 north 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 the 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 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 it asked 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 you head office. the u.s. is refusing to support an international probe into the deaths of protesters on the israel gaza border washington voted against the plan at the u.n. human rights council and u.s. ambassador nikki haley gave a statement suggesting the u.n. has more important problems to deal with at a time when we need to a low lurches to for a dictatorship iran imprisons thousands of political opponents and ethnic cleansing has taken place in burma the un so-called human rights council has decided to launch an investigation into democratic countries a legitimate defense of its own border against terrorist attacks it is another shameful day for human rights well this week dozens of palestinians have been killed by israeli gunfire during border riots after the opening of the new us

embassy in jerusalem and the rallies continued on friday with thousands gathering at the border fence local journalist him was there. palestinians are here protesting again it's a second day of ramadan and it's very obvious that the israeli forces are still using tear gas canisters to disperse all of these protesters oh. as you see tear gas is fighting the place they have been fighting do you guys sense the beginning of the protests. we also heard a lot of live ammunition since the beginning of the protest if we can hear that i mean it says we're starting to get affected by the tear gas. i'll be here now is live ammunition and it's very obvious that the israeli snipers are trying to shoot one of the protesters that are very close to the. palestinians came here today to come a great all of the victims killed and injured in the past past seven weeks where at

least one hundred five palestinians have been killed in the quick march of return and at least eight thousand palestinian protesters have been injured by live in munition tear gas canisters rubber bullets and other weapons there's already forces have been using the palestinian protesters. we know have some breaking news from the american state in georgia one person has reportedly killed in a shooting at mount zion high school in clayton county that's according to local media two others are also said to be injured this comes just a day off of the high school shooting in texas in which a student killed ten people well have more details on this as we get. and i'll be back with the headlines in just over half an hour before news in the meantime. we have to judge countries and leaders directives. so we need more objective but

the reality is. you know media tries to get the facts but also leave the whites their worldview so this is where social media and direct communication comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake news or something but it's sometimes actually a different worldview factitious fake news by powerful people. what is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimean can you clarify that let us discuss all about they've got to give it

a barely spoken of equal but the most of the most go full of the couldn't. as long ago as eighteen zero four sevastopol is a naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that

close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea plays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base which internationally. but almost some of us india is and insuring is an actual plot which you have taught me to and i can us put you on with that. post today and you know unless you are showing us not just but with practical putting it into shape. there's no opinion on it. so it's not just another thing users into the midst of but if there was no innocents that ended up with the albany the only leader on that that got. it done we look to play well or. it was a piece of the school board. just him up i want to get there but only in no way but as a yes to but they're both saying no doubt on the phone sex amongst the with doesn't it seem easy if it's to make clinton you're in

a state but the national system. unless you mean it's not. supposed to think that if we act we would sort of the response. to me because you knew seemed up and you may know i can only influence you just but you know when i left those challenges to those in a play in the in the lead you disappear you know the same so sometimes. up in the back of the and plentiful i get a little illusion when you see what i pay for a bison you can get on the net and you can. die i am concerned about the expansion of nato nato has expanded into thirteen countries up to the borders of russia thirteen countries at the time what we're showing up at the gym away in the ship way not. easy during the midst of them what should the business mean.

in early spring of two thousand and fourteen eastern ukraine was also buzzing with protests against the new authorities in kiev this region with the population close to russia geographically and culturally feared that the ultra right leanings of the newly formed government would bring meal nationalism to their lands. and they have their reasons. the status of the russian language in ukraine has been a stumbling block for many years implementing russian as a second state language was one of the main campaign promises the president is going to fulfill in two thousand and twelve the government passed a law making it the second official language in the southern and eastern parts of ukraine the areas where the russian speaking. elation makes up a majority ukrainian nationalist groups initiated massive protests opposing the law and observing viewer might see some familiar faces there on a flight on. one of our last. on february twenty

third two thousand and fourteen the very next day after the regime change the new government voted for an a no meant of the official status of the russian language and even though later this decision was vetoed by the acting president alexander turchynov it still sent a message and a powerful one this alarm the russian speaking cities of eastern ukraine and people took to the streets to show their disagreement. in response. was conducted their own demonstrations when the two parties would meet it was always tense and eventually it led to tragedy. one person died and over fifty people were wounded in clashes during a pro russian march protesting the new government in kiev. on april sixth the crimean scenario began repeating eastern ukraine where protesters seized

government buildings. and the next day april seventh the day proclaimed don't yet see people's republic kiev replied by announcing the beginning of an anti-terrorist operation in eastern ukraine. by that time the international media was screaming about a russian invasion in ukraine russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine but strong words state only in the media the ukrainian authorities never announced a war like situation why i.m.f. cannot give money to countries in gauged an ongoing war that's roboto shango over as they can wish for both you when you go to your show will go to geneva too much money was already invested in you. to stop halfway i've invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train. mccarthy writes in

a city. new democracy just yelled. some of them but obviously the funds had to keep coming and the conflict had to keep going. and more bloody and deadly was all you've shown me. as parties from both sides were using more sophisticated and lethal weapons. as well do. you not feel well you know. your source though not all of them. done bust. through a new deal. you know that's really kind of. the world seemed too busy welcoming this new democracy in kiev. to notice what was

being done as it spread its wings over the country. many in southern ukraine had been viewing the revolution with concern. and an anti mind on movement formed in the city of odessa in early january two thousand and fourteen the protesters set up their camp in front of the trade union house a building which would soon become a monument to a massacre of its own it's difficult to overestimate the importance of odessa it is strategically located on the black sea and it's ukraine's largest seaport it's not surprising that ukraine's new authorities were watching the situation unfolding there with growing alarm. more and more of odessa as people were joining the anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up. the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to weigh.
