predator exchange two to off him or attempt to off him which is the boast deadly nerve agent known to mankind which if it were that would have completely evacuated the entire city where people walked into a hospital obviously it wasn't that none of this made any sense yet the allegations were that it was obviously a russian connection even though it may no sense and it was just forgot they just dropped it after all types of diplomatic problems now we have these two people and so far nobody but nobody can even make at this particular point and i hope they're ok i hope this is a mistake i don't want to see any one of the anybody want to see anyone injured or killed but two random people a stand simply with no connection to anything or you could argue or least maybe

during the script all case ok there was a connection but now the mad gassers or whoever are deciding to target individuals using this particular nova job next question is how were you able to discern and to identify markers and to identify not only the substance but where it came from so quickly next is there going to be the same level of cooperation that that russia was provided initially remember first russia said let us help you no no no no need to help me that was a fiasco yet. here is the interesting part using that as a model and where we're going right now winds the theme is presented once it is suggested russia nobody. who can just say that that's it dad

said no investigations required lionel you bring up an interesting point i want to kind of touch on that a little bit about the idea of russia's cooperation and the evidence presented or lack thereof russia has insisted that nobody could be produced by many countries and ask for firm evidence linking the screwball attack to russia but in fact received nothing and now there is a second case that supposedly involves another talk in the same area what might the possible international reaction be. well their reaction of course is you're going to have to ask who benefits is there going to be more of the diplomatic fallout and also listen i know nobody wants to be conspiratorial here in our country oh we hate conspiracy theories even when there are conspiracies but the first thing i would ask if i was a spy

a novelist if i was a police officer if i was trying to eliminate possibilities porton down itself is it interesting this also was not very far from this and i'm not suggesting that they or anybody else would be planting this or making it look like it was called false flags i am not suggesting that but you have to ask who has access to this and it's think it's critical to note that this particular sample must be inspected now i'm no expert in poisons but i would imagine that certain chemicals certain substances have markers fingerprint basically analogues to this so that if somebody were to say let's see how much this x. i don't know enough about the chemical properties of this but watch what happens it's going to be right now they're going to take i predict and i'm just saying this just knowing a little bit about how the media works here they're going to take the story from

before dusted off and now put these people's names in it and just say motive and opportunity this is classic russian because the russian investigation here in our particular connection still there still stinging over the fact that that also de materialized russian collusion russia gay dicey a gate all of that it just went away it just the materialized maybe some people in my figure this is a great way to dust off that trope that mean and reintroduce the same idea using new characters. so what about the timing of all this the last attack on the screwballs russia pointed out that it had no reason to carry out the attack because of its upcoming presidential election and now russia is in the middle of the world cup literally the entire world is looking at this country. with scrutiny trying to find something wrong with the world cup they haven't been able to do that or do you

think that there's any quins events here and the timing of it all. if it is and looking at the absolute joy the young lady shin the pandemonium of the world right now as as this this is been the most. russia recently i mean the whole has been upset after upset i'm no football expert in this but i'm reading i'm sorry but if somebody is going to say if you think the world's going to stop and say wait a minute better stop this excitement of having a fever because two people we don't know might have been poisoned in salisbury in the u.k. during the fever no that makes no sense whatsoever so if that was the goal or if that is the intended route of this people are wasting their time again it doesn't make any sense this clip ok so i can say that again i don't last and so

we've pointed to russia or putin unless russia and or potent have lost their minds they're doing something which doesn't even make any sense again going back to skip are you had him in custody why after a prisoner exchange you tell the world by the way no more prisoner exchanges after this why would you want to do this and why would you be using something that obviously theoretically is linked to you look i'm not trying to be led carre here or trying to boost by plots but if you want to eliminate somebody you don't do with this way unless you're just in. happened at a watch what happens remember this they're going to take the story from before i predict change the names you will not be able to tell the difference is going to just replace names because there is in my humble opinion in some circles this pavlovian connection that where ever the word russia or russia or russia or is

somehow involved in any way they leap upon it because the story is sexy or it's in it has intrigue or something even that which prep asterisk and even though at this particular stage of the investigation we don't know anything all right legal and media analyst lionel always interesting to hear your perspective thanks for being with us as this situation plays out a little be interesting one to watch indeed thank you sir all right local residents are concerned about this latest poisoning as they and their families have yet to receive any instructions from authorities. are there to be honest now because straight to retract and say that. it is possible and so are you that it was possible for a great and i'm very sorry not a visit being kept in any information or to place. the b.o.h. to. give it. a little bit where you know that we don't know what's going on

because. we are but children come here and there are other parents who live around here and it was being checked in. by the name of a truck of course that became known around the world after the former russian spy sergei screwball was poisoned now we're told has been described by specialists as a highly lethal military grade substance however in both cases the victims exposed to it have survived. looked deeper into the story behind the deadly substance. there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible the juveniles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less than a movie chock sounds russian means russia did it establish that it is not a chaka matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer

part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points made there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last few weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military specialists and hear their biggest gripes. the nuvi nerve agents a new she quit they haven't been so in decades there's many well published formulas of nerve agents of. snow problem i mean mary where you have sarin so much. v.x. there are abundant abundant and the structures are known and the toxicity profiles are known so so many people can make nerve agents and they know what structures to go to go toward here they are exerts from the books and studies available to the public neither the formula nor the chemicals any more russian then itself

for years now researchers have published studies and theses on the nuvi chocks which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries and it is just one good tool in twenty zero seven the u.s. or the published of people numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity we all thought united them under the system there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed that means someone somewhere synthesize them and shared the information since then these formulas or some of them have appeared in various publications constantly you simply cannot see they are secret. there's more to it if you suspect a potential adverse or e is made a new discovery you have to do the same in order to study the new substance and make antidotes it's true to say that russia is not the only country being able to

synthesize a few grams of know each of the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on me chart because there were these rumors about a new military chemical agent just in russia so so i'm not surprised that in france in a new king in the united states is a. have this kind of information that could explain speed in which the product was identified that's the purpose and that's the job of this kind of laboratories and there's a whole lot of nerve agents to go around with more being discovered undeclared nerve agents. and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's a chemical weapons potential they must immediately according to the conventions register it with the obviously w but no country does so despite having created many

such chemicals. and it really isn't as difficult as it may sound if it's really a we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to said that you need serious expertise in substantial funding to make cure nerve agent. and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the love has to be well equipped with ventilation detoxification equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not every lead can synthesize this but there are twenty or so labs that count. the argument that there is no alternative explanation

because only russia has made new rich ox sales. britain's decision to classify almost every aspect of what happened and the investigation is called the room and mill running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching their heads over each other is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already very very toxic so a small amount should have killed mr creep out for sure but again it's very difficult to assess and evaluate this kind of question before knowing exactly how the product was delivered the interesting thing with nova chalks is that there are so many of them and they come in so many different forms they can come in a powered as solid as a crystal and even as

a liquid but just to give you some reference if this was a variety of the nuvi chalks a single drop is enough to kill ten people ten people within minutes if this was in the hailed even more units on the putting it we can hail the symptoms that follows in minutes if it gets in the skin symptoms and can take from minutes to hours. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the doods had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't match they simply missing a little of it when witnesses found them they said serug a scrip or was rocking back and forth waving his hands it seemed more like the effects of narcotics if it was a small dose as they claim then first would come meiosis then the rest of the

symptoms convulsions uncontrolled urination but we didn't see that in photos or hear of it in rip. port's there are many questions. if indeed this was a nuvi chalk a nerve agent at work the script very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here or else have a miracle cure for a no nerve agents there's no other explanation more news after a short break to watch march international.

since the start of the world cup russian sports commentators have put cruelly sure on their list of teams capable of winning russians love to root for the underdog but will have sympathy for a rival impact on russia's quarterfinal time with croatia. are welcome back you're watching r t international now the u.s. marked independence day on the fourth of july but

a majority of americans are for the first time in at least eighteen years say that they are no longer extremely proud of their country that is the finding of a poll by gallup which tallies with the number of other recent surveys and also reflect a downward trend in texaco's. the fourth of july american independence day a time for barbecue fireworks and celebrating the old stars and stripes. but is the patriotic impulse dying among americans a new poll shows that not all americans are swelling with national pride the poll indicates that less than half of americans actually say that they're extremely

proud of their country and that's with donald trump playing up us exceptionalism we're going to make america make america great again great again are you planning to celebrate the fourth of july this year actually i'll be working as i am sure there's every day comp by an easy going hole came out this year and when asked if they were proud of their country extremely proud of their country only forty seven percent of americans said yes that's less than half what do you make of that poll. i saw that i don't understand i'm in that the other category am extremely proud and now we look so bad in court towards other countries where looking towards us and saying that we look so separated now instead of being united i suppose it's about trump mainly really it's just just simply the president. what else i think again it centers on a political. level happening just faith and leadership to really come down to what i think deep down the numbers probably higher people may feel

a grudge about certain political you know swings these days used to be that once a year americans put aside their political differences and marched behind the american flag is one on independence day however this year it seems that partisan political differences are impacting our americans feel about the festivities. r t new york. now the world cup is down to the last eight countries colombian and swiss guards were broken on tuesday but it was jubilation for england and sweden hawkins has all of the angles covered for us in st petersburg. wherever you're watching us today welcome to russia's historic north of the capital of. what decide to have a museum square dripping in history. today all of course about

the knockout stage has now wrapped up we know that eight teams now set to play in the world cup quarterfinals why go head to head with france brazil face belgium on friday that should be a goal fast on saturday all eyes here of course with the host russia and the clash with getting to of course sweden england also the same day. wrapped up the knockout stage last night it really did have everyone has their seat so myself for the two or three lines in a dramatic penalty shoot out. the whole range of emotions jubilation. finally monetising to break that penalty. for several tournament sort of course heartbreak for colombia who gave it their all

but it wasn't quite enough. was also what's in the game. they gave everything for what you're going to do it should be. much. more. motions worn. by danish point of view the more important thing is compete in the quarterfinals great job and. you can focus on quality year. long form in any thing you are not. inventing and we changed the complications of playing. and having for the finals there we. were a share i would say they're enjoying her chance to be in the welcome all eyes of

course on england caps and. football's hottest property right now the best striker at least according to many he scored that crucial penalty there was always attention knowing and might just blow it all but that goal number six for pushed him to the top of the race for the golden boot as the world cup's top scorer finds a rapid victory last night as you might expect scenes of relief and of course your jubilation. i. now as things heat up here in russia the intrigue. pundit just taking a break from his crystal ball predicts it will his football results first of all

talk it so far too. young budding football stars of the future he is that report. yes i would think it was the exception of course he must in the last question. do not clear to me i do not sit here is a massive moment. but actually one of my least. disable the target is still on. my limit come on that much is true and i to be meeting your mother similar to when you're trivially continue doing it all chill so much as to know. this is a more lenient. social problem with also you come on do you would you just disappear on the table and you will cheat so dr q e two sweet you could only ever. be. ok so i was told that you are the good talent. that you are the kids with with good

potential so i come to give a look your coach is ian i just failed sides i'm looking at you with so with all my attention but don't feel any pressure just feel happy and and free ok it will. go. one thing is. another thing if. you pass the ball to the right speed and control it buzzes readable if i control the ball here is one thing and then i need one more thought and i need one more so i can another thing is it passes me the ball and with my control. my control i can give the

media the speed of the game so little things little good makes the game much much better make you fit look for example to the will of you is his name your version of if they look to him the first the first control the speed of the of the bus polish always going to. i'm. positively surprised with what i see what i see in these little sessions and i hope the cold should be easy for me i've also seen my my players being professional players. they enjoy more of the period where they are playing in the period where they have the practice

but he sees it as important exercises that they can do outside the little little game what's the secret in achieving that much trophies the secret is what i was asking you. to enjoy but at the same time if you says if you want to reach a certain level. just to be a serious serious thing every minute of the world. working with my players i take it very very serious all those of us model always happy to do something that i really like to do but i always read to you the great cause and be the grit and be sure to have fun every minute throughout on the pitch take it seriously what's your favorite leading muchas tonight for you for you answer preview of the the other one is the goal which is like when you've got a father and you have more of them than ones then one fund which one is the

favorite son i have a son the daughter i cannot say which one is my favorite. my favorite what's the difference in training russian players english players i think indian when the one of the secret sees the competitiveness of the league have a clue. probably eighteen twenty twenty peaches like this one. on the for the academies i hold. with kids like you. facilities like like with the passion of the russian. people as for food well with what the world cup can change in terms of their. mentality in a sea of all of the united states mexico kind of can be a target for the russian national team to to improve let's make

a challenge and sometimes challenges all dreams they become reality one day so let's see in the next twelve years. i coach the russian national team and some of them they play for me they will. until i arrived. and i was might see some those youngsters in russia's next world cup squad oh darn now of course the last eight. the world that been on a roller coaster ride from the very start to some though seems to be a bit of a year but one of motional support they've got their four legged friends with them for company.

that's it from me now for a while studio in st petersburg for. the thrills and spills of well when did team as it rumbles on this some also. stay seated.
