the aussies about the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if it didn't have enough already now this is a first hand 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 no indication of the fact that there was a gent and therefore we take no more protection when any patient comes in which has no point taken any extra caution in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found in 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 of the 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 this compiles were sort of miraculously cured and this is something that a doctor in this documentary described 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 stated grupo 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 that the scruples were suffering from friends and little poisoning total signs of military grade substance poisoning or ruptured. pupil construction spasms and you really incontinence symptoms are absent

from the initial reports and photos well certainly lots of curious details and to this day it seems clear that there are still lots and lots of details in this whole case to be addressed after the incident the u.k. accused russia of carrying out the attack saying that only moscow had the means and the motive as well as a track record russia's repeatedly denied it had anything to do with the souls proposing it said other countries developed and make clear that it had traded script a high profile spy swap and the former agent posed no threat to the country's interests moscow also says the fact is being denied access to yulia script how a russian citizen is suspicious of former un chemical weapons expert on wood can told us it's hard to fathom how the medical staff avoided toxic exposure themselves given that they weren't wearing protective gear for the first few days. it seems to

me that there was no. any poisons on the skin or on cloth of patients because they would be stripped of the cloth and they would be. too. chicken and hard trade you know other staff and of course there would be contact between the. victims so it seems there. is more questions of how the agent was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. to a surgeon believe was also exposed and look he actually contacted screwballs for just about several minutes and he was exposed but the personnel who dealt with scruples was not exposed. it was

mentioned the u.k. government accuses moscow of poisoning scrip and his daughter and in some surprisingly blunt terms the u.k. defense secretary wants even told russia to quote shut up and go away well when asked later whether he regretted making that remark tried to dodge the question but i'd like to pay tribute to the help sorry did you answer them even though no one you regret using that kind of casual language the world's a world united behind britain and one more time would you please answer the question if we came together with our allies and why not russia interview terminated because you won't answer the question good luck with the african elephant for project. donald trump has repeatedly called the investigation into alleged collusion with russia a witch hunt but according to one democrat to move the straight out of the kremlin playbook explains. according to a top democrat in congress if you use the term which on to and you say it over and

over and over again which of which are and which you may be a dupe of the kremlin listen to maxine waters talk about trump he's a lying about which but you notice that he says will turn over and over again he has learned some of the russian tactics about how you you know deal with getting people to believe you you say it over and over again so repeating something over and over and over again is a russian thing that may not be the wisest thing for the democrats to say they've had the same song on repeat for roughly two years russia has hacked into a lot of things the criminal clan russia was meddling in our elections russia undermined hillary clinton to over russian hacking operation taken place by russians intelligence committee says that russia is behind this in some form it's all to do with russia and of course ian brown sugar rush is a russian so if trump invented the term which why did the democrats use that exact same term back in the one nine hundred ninety s.

when bill clinton's sex scandal was all over the headlines smells like a double standard to me speaking of double standards remember how the democrats counted the podium against gina haskell the new cia chief there are two reasons that i oppose this nomination this haskel support for torture and her willingness to destroy evidence of the cia's use of torture and i have serious concerns about. her confirmation and what kind of signal this lady is the real do i'm telling you we're here with everything we possibly think she answered didn't flinch at all well it turns out that while this controversial interrogation program was going on democrats in congress were getting briefings the entire time and did nothing about it and now after the dog and pony show at the hearings is over gina haskell is getting the job and why is gina haskell the new cia chief because two democrats voted for her to an intelligence committee looks poise. to indorse president trump's pick to head the cia gina haskell today this clears the path of her

confirmation of cia director if she gained support from democrat senate democrats back when she was secretary of state hillary clinton was always criticizing countries around the world for their human rights record she even pushed obama to send cruise missiles to libya back in two thousand and eleven supposedly to defend human rights yet at the same time her personal foundation the clinton foundation had no problem getting donations from the very countries that she was criticizing and sooty arabia giving twenty five billion dollars are all of these countries you talk about women and women's rights so these are people that pushkin a's office buildings these are people that kill women and treat women horribly and yet you take their money so the democrats talk one way and act another i'm not sure where we're finding all these russian tactics they're constantly making reference to because they seem to be practicing double standards all along. r.t. new york the top

a you officially forced to apologize to the italian people will tell you why after the break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be all for bridge eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

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. welcome back the e.u. budget commissioner has apologized to them in the backlash over his recent remark that italy should take its king from the markets when deciding whether to vote for the populists but that's my expectation is that the coming weeks will show that the markets government bonds and the economic development of italy could prove to be so drastic that this would be a personal signal for voters not to vote for populists on the left all right. let's go on sunday and it's really a shock to financial markets worried about at least possible exit from the euro or

the one of the leaders of italy's failed coalition notice that no such measures were ever in that program. well you did and if the markets are worried italy could leave the euro that's because someone has been saying this government wants out of the euro despite that never having been our plan. when the euro skeptic coalition failed to form a government its leaders blamed pressure from the e.u. artie's peter oliver has more on the role the brussels has played in italy's ongoing political crisis. on sunday night when sergio matter reality italian president vetoed the proposal of a euro skeptic for the role of economy minister he essentially scrapped a coalition between the populists of the five star movement and leader nord but what he also did was he sent to talian voters back to the polls he sent the markets crashing down and he sent accusations flying that the e.u. had put a bit of pressure on him to do just that well it also saw. the e.u.

budget commissioner say that this down toilet this downturn in the markets was a message to italian voters for next time that if they vote with the euro skeptics then well they will see financial troubles on the horizon well mr has rode back from those comments now but he was also criticized at the time by some of his closest allies donald the european council president sean claude young the european commission president all saying this isn't the type of language you should be using as a member of the commission from the populist solve norden and the five star movement well they were outraged by mr ting his comment saying that he was the type of person that viewed italy as just a place to go on holiday or sensually these comments from they played right into the hands of the euro skeptics because they're now getting ready for new elections which could come as soon as september they can now say to their voters look we said

last time they were trying to take your sovereignty away look what they did when we tried to put in place a government in italy so it was ultimately left to the european commission president to try and smooth things over between the populists and euro skeptics in italy and the commission in brussels it's a his fate does not lie in the hands of the financial markets regardless of which political party may be in power is. 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 as i said those elections in italy could come as soon as september and between now one polling day are sure to be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments are coming out of brussels with regards to which feet which direction italy should proceed in the future.

is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm far children thank you for watching coming up on the program today the fun nominally huge farm bill failed to pass congress it's hit a snag why is it important fred kaufman author of bet the farm joins us from new york. to bring us into the loop plus the philippines is heavily reliant on coal with other fossil fuels to power their growing country but how are they trying to distance themselves from that r t correspondent alex i live it brings us up to speed joins us from toronto disgust and later we'll be joined by hilary forms which the founder and c.e.o. of drill marks who joins us to discuss breck's it and all of the alemany that has ensued as we approach the two year anniversary of the breakfast referendum all of

that and more coming up on today's show but first let's get some headlines pretty fast at hard world clout one of wall street's largest computer driven kuan hedge fund and that is headed by called chin ski and manages roughly five billion dollars and is offering another fun and this fund will be open to outside investors world point currently employs more than six hundred fifty people one hundred twenty are ph d.'s with offices and twenty six cities in fifteen different countries. while investigators have not yet reported on the southwest airlines flight that took the life of one woman there are increasing calls for enhanced inspections since it's been determined that there were warnings about the suspect plane engine nearly two years prior to the accident lawmakers and regulatory officials at the u.s. federal aviation administration are considering increased inspections to date limited budgets and staffing at the f.a.a. have focused inspections on the greatest areas of need and threat airport on the

a bill passes the house or senate this one is different not only because it's huge and taxpayers foot the bill but because the farm bill impacts so very many people and a lot of people that you may be unaware about here discuss a fred kaufman author of bet the farm fred thanks as always for being with us this is the huge money program and it's paid for by taxpayers but what does the farm bill actually do why is it important. the farm bill has been a signature piece of legislation and bipartisan legislation since one thousand nine hundred thirty three bar every five years it has been passed into last monday and there is parts in it for everybody in this country the farmers get their price a porch they get their insurance that's for the rural population in the urban population we get school lunches we get assistance for food everybody is a part of this bill that also happens to be the largest conservation bill in the country in the country for land conservation the last when we saw it on monday that

all that funding had been cut but it didn't pass the bill did not pass and congress is looking at a major impasse right now fred you and i both know about the farm bill as you know i worked on it for the several of the many many years but for our viewers the boom busters who don't let's talk about just a little bit more of sort of the table setting here you say that it includes the food assistance program but we still have millions of people on food stamps food assistance why is that if we're paying to support them. well really what we're looking at here in terms of the snap program that's supplemental nutrition program is that before the commodity crisis of two thousand and seven two thousand and eight we had about twenty six million people in the program that shot up after the commodity boom of two thousand and eight and twenty eleven to about forty nine million people it is now back down to about forty two million people on food

assistance and what we're looking at every year is roughly a sixty five billion twenty billion split in terms of in terms of the money sixty five going to the herb in the supplemental nutrition and the school lunch programs and the twenty going too far farm assistance but the thing bart that's important to see is that in the past we can see these coalitions of the world in the urban with the suburban in the middle that has completely collapsed that is no longer the political reality of this country i want to get to that in a moment but i want to hit on a couple other basic issues in the farm bill first you mentioned earlier the and environment a lot of people hear the phrase they say well the farm bill produces pays producers farmers for not producing and one of those reasons is for environmentally sensitive areas so explain that a little bit more. well one of the this is this legislation allows farmers to put

aside and conserve great parts of their acreage so that it can remain natural its it is the largest single program of this kind is the largest conservation program but also what we're looking at here is legislation which is taking away any kind of oversight for using pesticides that could conceivably harm endangered species it is taking away funding for clean energy programs and in farms and rural populations this is why all along with the work requirements for snap that it did not get one single democratic vote just crazy and i want to move on to sort of the politics of this but before we do i just want to say it also includes a farm bill real development programs and that is rural housing assistance. programs if you're a member of a rural electric co-op a lot of those grants and loans come from the farm bill u.s.d.a. and it also has a rural business programs to help fuel inject

a smaller business in rural areas so if there's a whole wide wrath of programs that are included fred now let's talk a little bit about the politics here because it's so important this has been a bipartisan bill one of the reasons that i liked working on it got to work with republicans and democrats but it's broken down in a pretty big way why. well that's a really interesting that's a very interesting question look the politics in this country is broken and so what we're seeing is this extreme partisanship and that what we're seeing in the news is this idea of the far right the republican caucus is no longer following in lockstep with paul ryan that paul ryan the speaker of the house has lost control of the scheduling he's lost control of his party and we have the freedom caucus saying we are not going to vote for this bill until we see an immigration bill and effectively taking themselves out of it now what is really going on here what's

really going on here is we have a lame duck speaker of the house somebody who everybody knows is no longer going to be the speaker of the house and we're seeing a lot of political positioning who will be next in fact the freedom caucus just today demanded that mark meadows the far right of the far right throw his hat in the ring to be speaker of the house here's a guy who voted against funding for hurricane sandy here's a guy who led the efforts to shut down not just the farm bill but the entire government in two thousand and thirteen mark meadows i've got to watch out for these guys absolutely i mean my experience for as i jokingly say in government for too long a part of the problem perhaps is that trying to work across the aisle is the best way to do it and these outliers on the left or the right by the way really aren't the way to get things working and government to too many politicians say they campaigned against government how it doesn't work and they get to washington and they seek to prove it let me ask you this before we leave what do you think will

happen in the midterm elections that's important we don't talk about politics one boom bust a lot but that's important because the tax cuts because the transportation infrastructure bill what do you think's going to happen. you know i am not a soothsayer. i am. i'm going to call the democrats bart i'm going i'm going to hope democrat. they control the house and the whole question of who will be the next speaker for the republicans will become immediately moot absolutely a price we will also be looking at the senate i worked in both the house and senate and the senate tends to be a place where cooler heads do prevail there is only one hundred of them so they will try to work in concert with each other we'll see that maybe we'll have you back after the senate passed the bill fred kaufman author of bet the farm thank you fred for joining us thank you bart. and time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return we'll talk next that and to help us break down where the process stand will be joined by the c.e.o.

and founder of strong market world which the latest development but first we'll go to toronto were alex tireless visual joins us to talk about the philippines and their addictions to all and what they're doing to move to clean energy will be back in a flash status. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go i mean eight percent of the football we do and we will show the great game the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go.

a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. 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 monitor or even spied on truck world. with no makers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the roman clauses project themselves. with the primary go round lifts only the one percent told. us
