apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out its. football 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 kill you narrowness and spending to twenty million one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on to it because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will transfer. and thinks this minute.

heard. that. in london british victims of the active ingredient in counter gun teamed up and formed a group called solidify trust. to bias aren't presenting his findings from the german archives. letta's files and minutes outlining the role politics played during the criminal trial against the manufacture of good intel these documents shed new light on what happened fifty five years ago. it isn't just british than it might survivors who are convinced they find allies in old british political parties

. in feb twenty fifth in an unusual debate takes place in the british parliament. michael moore thank you mr speaker for over fifty years the little miters have been campaigning for justice particularly from the german manufacturers. know that over one hundred fifty m.p.'s of signed an open letter to the german chancellor would the prime minister add this to his busy agenda today so that we might get a decent and fair settlement for all concerned yeah i have on behalf of a constituent and she raised this issue not only through the european parliament but also with the german authorities now certainly reflect what the old gentleman says. more than one hundred fifty brit. m.p.'s from all political parties have signed a letter to the german chancellor. unlike germany britain does have a tradition of rebellion when dealing with the little mite the active ingredient in

going to gallop. the four hundred sixty six members of the thalidomide trust and not just fighting for compensation. they want those responsible for their disabilities to be held to account nick deal breaker is one of them he thinks they have almost succeeded who had which ties and to whom and with his chart to explain the connections to german politicians as well as representatives in the european parliament if they hadn't ended the trial as they did in the early seventy's then the evidence would have been available to the victims to use in their future actions against good intel and others and in particular the u.k. survivors action in the seventy's would have undoubtedly have been ended in a much more favorable fashion to to the claimants as it was they didn't have the evidence they had to settle for a much bigger discount in the amount that they should have got than would have the bad to be in that case it's evidence being available that i got a proper settlement and that's what threw them out as they're after now. the

british lawyer thinks evidence of that confidential meeting is crucial it took place in july nine hundred sixty nine but the ministry of health and bone. senior management from come to guns manufacturer were invited to discuss the settlement of the counter gun case according to a note from the ministry. the goal of the meeting is to reach a legal agreement with the company as to how cunt again victims can be compensated . when the parents association of the deformed children hints of the plans and hand asks to see details of the meeting the ministers say is under no circumstances will the association receive any details as advice is explicit because art in document the to. or. signs all. how you kind of all are. doing for along with. the

district half a century later in the summer of twenty fifteen a meeting between british to the mind victims and representatives of the german government took place at germany's embassy in london i think they heard the concerns we have they obviously refute the fact that they interfered in the criminal trial but they've never actually answered individually the documents that we put to them. the british m.p. simon hall was also present at the german embassy meeting. it was really i think to halt the first half i thought was very positive the mood music coming out from officials on the on the german side of the table as it were it was very encouraging that they wanted to have a dialogue they wanted to see this brought to a conclusion we had to leave as we had to come back to the commons to vote and then the notes following that seem to suggest that they slightly dried up like a classroom and it was very much we're not going to get involved with this this is

the only meeting we're going to have to discuss this effectively that's the end of the news i think if there was anything which came out of the meeting which we had at the embassy in july of last year is that there had been a long debate point as to whether the drug which had been taken by british mothers had been manufactured in germany or could be manufactured under license in the u.k. and it is now very clear that the german officials taking tided the point that the third trust in the u.k. has been making for many along the there was no. manufactured in the u.k. and that which was taken by bush mothers or expectant but those have been manufactured in germany. this is no that's just a little mite bit control. see if decades too late since the one nine hundred seventy s. people affected by so little might have only been able to file compensation applications with the german government anyone who does file an application must

renounce all claims against the manufacture of. many european victims say they have received little or no compensation at all. the federal ministry of family affairs declined to be interviewed. norm wouldn't comment on the meeting with british counter gun victims at the german embassy in london. it stated only that the counter gun trust fund grants financial support when claims are grounded. christi and or tell also applied for support. yeah it's much higher and a cloud for the rich don't have one as an instance of one as good. box spring bet but if we are always going to tarboro one minor cornishman looking shrouds them in english to become known as good bye to how it's one of one armored merge to get in

on and off my macbook air as it could be a clear investment of the east does baskets bookish ones and if you shop at darpa some of them you get this work with their own. that he is but i doubt if we spend a third of our lives in our beds our beds are important and valid for it to be turned down on that basis is utterly ridiculous and so it's abundantly clear to me that applying to the call to isn't going to be a solution for us at all and so therefore for us to be subjected to a ridiculous system bureaucratic system at this point in our lives it's not going to meet our needs all we need is money that we can use in the ways that we know that will suit us best. the formosa little manufacturer no longer considers claims from the victims of the drug to be the responsibility. the tough. side. want to. be in the course with onion clarke and being an english

isn't hard to get you double tough no fun to put up for when tiger seeded border. of i know him from russia financier lost its. supporters not played by grown until but the federal government. one of many who was applications to the german county gun foundation were denied this lorraine mercer sometimes i think. because. back on point. when i move in. some of the late complications are only now becoming apparent mersa need supplementary oxygen just to be able to breeze there is a fund in germany connected to the court against gift which allows the later might is to apply to it for financial assistance there's also

a fund that's been set up by agreement to apply to that but you can apply to them saying you wanted some more money but you have to prove first of all you've applied to a little more trust to get some money and they have said no and that you've applied to all the charities only applied to local governments get assistance when you've been rejected by everybody you can then green atar they would like to quote some money towards your. financial assistance but you're not really aware that because green it hasn't made it public to thalidomide is outside of germany in fact the company established a private foundation. however coonan told does not want to talk about it nor do they want to discuss how application decisions are made they say they don't want to provoke envy. we believe general government should be responsible for paying for those i met health goals that we or have only female me get money remains to be met

. in great britain so robert nelson is a well known judge he's written to the german federal ministry of family affairs. the purpose of the letter was to bring home to the german government the problems that the through the midas face and the shortfall in finances that we felt that they had in the amount they got and the amount that they would in fact need i wrote it to the relevant minister and there was no reply as such. for decades parents never knew what was going on behind their backs during the criminal trial they were only allowed to be spectators. the thalidomide manufacturers defense strategy was to convince the prosecution to agree to dismiss the case. they

knew that they didn't just have the regional government justice minister on their side but the federal government too however the dismissal of a criminal case requires strict conditions these according to the prosecution service were not meant. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage and we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure the camera you have to go i mean a percent of the need for power with you and you know all the great the british you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going left. alone. and i'm really happy to join the to him for the two thousand and three and

world cup in russia meet the special want. me to just say the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. shows seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any news yet to stamp out disdain comes to attitude and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no end well no evidence has been revealed to trump campaign colluded with russia there is mounting evidence the intelligence community or should i say the deep state

monitored or even spied on truck world. well you know the pirates they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. as being there in this small ball of sticks that hard pool of ships and it's still. not up to. the little self to beak told fish already ninety percent of it are caught and flown reconnaissance. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with the big fleets oh you get an idea on why ocean which. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be within this of the field going too far. i'm doing this because i want the future

world to future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into these that excitement is that knowing that's where the adrenaline in much comes from. the new guinea's in the play definition and the extremes who will support. the violence is a pug and it's almost a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave badly. they're going to be full of hospital the wall. so focused on the last. punishment

and infirmed then why. well follows from the start. of a broader we're not really that appalled are winnable. meaning in islam is the least if you don't win the evolves it's constantly evolving the. headlines this hour a new british documentary of reveals that doctors treating expiry powell and his daughter first thought they were dealing with a drug overdose and initially took no additional precautions also to come to school the italians budget commissioner says story after he's accused of trying to tell italy how to vote by doing mongering about yakking on the consequences of having populist empower the u.s. nominate the eighteenth commander for the afghan war which has been running for

seventeen years we look at the face transplant in hope that donald trump could signal a new era for the country. so i could often welcome you watching r.t. international it's just come two o'clock am in the russian capital. now a b.b.c. documentary has revealed the testimonies of doctors that treated the expiry of powell and his daughter following their poisoning in the british city of seoul in early march. as more. this is a b.b.c. newsnight program documentary has certainly highlighted some more curiosities about the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if you didn't have enough already now this is a firsthand account of the medical staff doctors and nurses that were treating this compiles when they were admitted to hospital in solsbury following the poisoning

and for starters some of the things described in this documentary were that initially it was assumed that the script all had experienced an opiate overdose and there were no extra precautions taken in that regard there was no indication of the fact that there was a gent and therefore we take normal protection when any patient comes in which has no point taken any extra precautions in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found on a park bench back in march on march fourth on a sunday they were taken to hospital then by tuesday police officer nick bailey was admitted into the hospital and then only after it was that based off of a red flagging from a scientific lab porton down that it was revealed that a nerve agent had been used and despite all this and all the talk of the harm that this nerve agent potentially being what it is could cause those who polls were sort

of miraculously cured and this is something that a doctor in this documentary describes as well that it came as a surprise how quickly they had recovered meanwhile a russian chemical expert that we spoke to said that the symptoms associated with an opioid overdose would be very different from those associated with a nerve agent poisoning which most of them with initial police report. group was swinging back and forth while seated on the bench and also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles a drugs overdose and the initial version was the scruples were suffering from friends a new. total signs of military groups substance poisoning or rapid pupil constriction spasms and you really incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports and photos well certainly lots of curious details and to this day it seems clear that there is still lots and lots of details in this whole case to be

addressed well after the incident the u.k. claimed that russia was behind the attack saying that only russia had the means and the motive as well as the track record of moscow though has repeatedly denied it had any involvement and it says that other countries develop the chalk and noted that it had traded scripts in a high profile spy swap and therefore had no reason to go after him it also says the fact that it's being denied access to a russian citizen is suspicious we spoke to a former u.n. chemical weapons expert and he believes that the u.k. does have some tough questions to answer. we were talking about damage control because right now we came to the point were all the previous statements of. trying to be. lies because first the stated only russia was the producer of. chemicals.

chemicals or military or weapon grade agents then they said scruples will never survive then they said that they will survive they will be damaged so badly that they won't be able to leave the normal life so i believe that at this particular point even close allies or for the u.k. are started asking questions of course there would be contact between the personnel and the victims so it seems that. it raises more questions on how the agent was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. fortunately the surgeon bailey who was also exposed he actually contacted scruples for just about several minutes but the personnel who dealt. with that exposed a lot of cases are described in the literature scientific literature medical

literature how people even after very strong export to even to chemical real chemical weapons. real. military grade agents people were treated rightly after they were exposed and they are recovered fully in the with the first antidote is there is no question so would be used in any case the second to do it is difficult to select so then the people would be pulled into the they would be sedated very heavily to make sure. brynn wooden. send signals to nervous system in with. therapy would be weeded. the body would replace the. poisoned. with newly formed so it usually takes several weeks to several months but that's exactly

what we've seen. now the budget commissioner has apologized amid a backlash over his recent remark that italy should take its key from the markets when deciding whether to vote for populists my concern expectation is that the coming weeks will show that the development of the markets government bonds and the economy of italy will be so far reaching that these will be a possible signal to voters not to vote for populists on the right or left. but i get more reaction now from all of more details we should say from the artes peter all over in berlin covering the story for us updated just bring us up to date then on what triggered this reaction. well going to has roared back from those comments now that he suggested that the markets in the decline that we've seen in them should really be a director and an indicator to italians how they should vote in the next round of

elections now after he made those comments well he was criticized roundly by some of his closest allies. the european council president and. the european commission president both coming out and saying this isn't the right way to be saying things this isn't the right thing to be doing the populist leaders though he was kind of addressing as well in those comments they've jumped on this incredibly critical of the e.u. budget commissioner saying that people like him they treat italy like a summer camp and promising that that will change in the future essentially these comments from. highly placed official they play directly into the hands of leader nords and the five star movement because now when they go back to the polls and address their potential voters they can see see we told you we were right there trying to influence us trying to rule over us from brussels well timidly it was

left to the european commission president john claud younker to try and smooth things over its release fate does not lie in the hands of the financial markets regardless of which political party may be in power italy is a founding member of the european union that has contributed immensely to european integration the commission is ready to work with italy with responsibility and mutual respect italy deserves respect. well after the italian president. ruled out the euro skeptic proposal for. minister the economy minister essentially collapsed the potential coalition looks like we could have elections in italy as soon as september and they'll be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments come out of brussels in the lead up to that to see if anybody else is accused of trying to meddle in the will of the italian people sure ok thanks peter that was artie's peter all of there.
