also. french law enforcement is facing a true crisis in working conditions that is according to a newly released a report that raises a number of concerns including grueling schedules and excessive stress also highlights a worrying number of suicides among police officers. today we are on edge of the implosion there has already been daily violence in our relationship with people it's a job without gratitude. was the was . the was the

was on an almost daily basis offices so on the frontline of filing protests terrorism and a wave of my question the issue highlighted by the report is the high level of suicides within the police force it says it's thirty six percent higher than in the general population. a weak police officer is a bad officer in the eyes of others so colleagues don't want to talk about their problems with other officers tom is currently still working as a police officer to be able to talk openly about the issue of suicide in the force he asked us to hide his identity and so the problem is we don't have support when it's better at home and it's better at work we don't know who to confide in recently i could visibly see a colleague wasn't looking good unfortunately i didn't have a way to report that we felt something was wrong fifteen days later he took his life tom says police officers are under pressure twenty four hours a day and

a never able to step away from the job and he says it's becoming more and more difficult to carry out his work teach the staff shortages and a lack of first sources bazzi asked someone from the interior ministry to comment on the plate in this report so far we have had no response but earlier this year the minister responsible for the internal security forces made this statement to the committee the sticky to the issue should have all day and at the end of twenty seventeen i asked the director of national police and the director. the national gendarmerie to work on an analysis of the reasons for suicides the parliamentary committee report also says police and security forces off so understaffed paperwork almost twenty two million hours in overtime without compensation if it were to be

paid it would cost a staggering two hundred and seventy two million euro much of this it states is down to the heightened terror threats and its peak tourism season kicks in pickpockets and scam artists are adding to the pressure the senators say the only way to relieve it is to hire more officers between three and four thousand of them almost half the amount or is it back on his promise to boy oh but boy if you hear it the parliamentary report makes more than thirty recommendations to help turn this crisis around it's been welcomed by police unions something must be done to prevent the entire system from collapsing since the terror attacks in twenty fifteen we're in much more demand the number of missions has multiplied but if you don't have the resources it's only going to get worse and they say you can't to put a price tag on the security of the french republic charlotte you can ski r.t.

paris. international will be back in just a bit with more news. for twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the beach but how would you. go through all the great. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet the special one come on both appreciate me to say the review the

team's latest edition to make up as we go. look. i. could be a mariachi. cyber crime war i. could be one of the best but i never sold harbor for to. do something that was my brain. i welcome back you are watching r t international back to our breaking news story british counter-terror police say two people were rushed to the hospital following their possible exposure to a toxic substance they were actually affected by the nerve agent. this evening i've

received test results from polls that show it to people with experience to get to know the truck however i must say that we are not in a position to say whether the nerve agent was from the side branch the scruples words opposed to. the possibility that these two investigations might be made is plainly a large record. that is important however the investigation is led by the evidence available so i don't make any assumptions or indulge in speculation or to use the new shows that the has for the details for what has been confirmed by the metropolitan police that the substance that left a man and women critically ill in and spray is indeed novi chalk in the parish both in the mid forties charlie rally and dawn sturgis and there in critical condition at the moment insult a district hospital now the two were taken ill on saturday just eight miles away from the square polytechnic way yuliya and say poisoned back in march now at first

it was thought that contaminated drugs was the cause of this but police say that it's now not now and it's now known it's not knowing martha whether the nerve agent was from the same batch that was used against the script halts that there will be an american c. cobra meeting to discuss this issue further. as of now u.k. authorities say they have been unable to establish if the nerve agent used came from the same batch as the one former russian spy sergei screwball was apparently poisoned with but british police say that they are still looking into that possibility but just to remind you london claims that only russia had the technical ability to produce it the nerve agent and also had the motive and the experience to target discrete polls but neither specialists at the u.k. chemical laboratory of porton down nor o.p.c. w. experts could confirm that the nerve agent was produced in russia still that did not stop london from pointing the finger at moscow. it's highly likely that russia

was responsible. culpable culpable for the attempted murder case is culpable all quarrel is with credit and we think overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision russia has consistently denied any involvement with the attack on the screwballs insisting that russia destroyed its nerve agent stockpile while other states have also developed novacek moscow also rejected the notion that it had any motive to target the former spy saying he had no value after the swap and saying it would have been quote nonsense for russia to carry out such an attack ahead of russia's presidential elections and the football world cup mohammed who is the chief executive of the ramadan foundation says it would be wrong to jump to conclusions while the investigation is still underway. four months after that alleged poisoning in salt we are seeing other british citizens now being subjected to this same threat i would just caution let is allowed the police to

complete their inquiries let's not jump on to. aggressively target one country or another and let's wait for the facts and the evidence before jumping to conclusion will have to wait and see in the morning there is an emergency cabinet meeting which is called a corporate committee which is the security committee of ministers and i'm sure after that particular meeting the british government will provide its response and one of the criticism if you like of the british government when they reacted to solve was even before the evidence had been completed and the inquiry had been completed they decided to lay the blame at russia and i hope that they learn the lessons on this occasion important thing here is that britain is a world power as is russia and we've got to change our foreign policy to reflect the new dynamics of the world breaks it and i think what has happened subtly is that we have a government that is more determined to score headlines than to actually engage in

a dialogue watching or to international. predator. kyoto. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what microsoft on the board does run from the unpleasant god i'm just the dumbest on the guns not the woods as the three that you got on into this it's a must also like the proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments

under a cyber threat and not only that. mall. is selling only one bloke on the wall for. the. border. with. things this is. one study done with the old there's no stopping there was a sting of uncles in front is up and his cards on the phone. call them back this is our team international and german chancellor angela merkel says that she cannot guarantee there will not be further hick ups with her coalition partners that is after she narrowly avoided the collapse of her three month old coalition government amid disputes over migration policy can be

frustrating as is the i can promise you that there won't be a ring you disputes about other topics as this is usual when the government has three parties we need to urgently return to work for the sake of those who elected us our trees boss their brings us more on the political situation in berlin. the german chancellor managing to narrowly avert a political crisis that was facing her just a three month old coalition government it was triggered of course by the threatened resignation of the country's interior minister mr horst who is also the leader of the christian social union now emergency talks between the two leaders managed to resolve the issue at least for now and they came up with a temporary or at least a compromise deal regarding the migrant issue what the deal says is that number one the chance of centers will be established along the german austrian border those refugees who arrive at this border but who have been registered in other e.u. countries will then be deported to the country where they first entered the

european union as far as the length of time that it can be held at a transit center the maximum is forty eight hours now what this means is that there will be a reduction in migration to germany it also means that the whole process will be sped up so those migrants who arrive at a transit center and have permission to enter will quickly be moved to an absorption see into inside to a reception scientific to flee but those who don't have permission for asylum will quickly be the same to a way now there is a lot of criticism against exactly how this compromise deal will work you have for example questions being asked by angle of merkel's junior coalition party the social democratic party they haven't come onboard yet they say they first want to see tests done along the germany of border and they also say that they still have not fully agreed to the deal now this is despite the fact that the german chancellor is at pains to put on a brave face and to say that coalition crises are normal but no doubt what we are seeing is that there has been

a severe bruising of the coalition because of all of this migrant issues at the same time she's finding excuses she's finding explanations that it doesn't really hurt the fact that things are still a little the tender and we see this in a recent poll that has just come out the. poll shows that many germans view the coalition make it to me in fact they view it more negatively then they view the right tween and teen refugee party the alternative for germany known as the a if t. so they are still questions being os the one is will for just how much longer this coalition government is going to survive before the next migrant crisis and at the same time how secure is this compromise deal that has been reached. the court in ecuador has issued an arrest warrant for former president rafael correa over claims he masterminded the kidnapping of a political opponent in two thousand and twelve the judge wants interpol to extradite graham from belgium where he now lives lawmaker fernando ball that was

briefly abducted in colombia but police intervened and freed him unhurt after a few hours balder had fled after an attempted coup in two thousand and ten and was later jailed for a year for conspiring against the ecuadorian government the former president correa denies having anything to do with all this kidnapping and says that he is the one being persecuted for political reasons. they cannot defeat. try to defeat us using the system so we have to stop that this is not democracy they are invented whatever they want because they are controlling everything the media. system. etc in order to. pursue it. especially. leftist leaders but in the case of. my. team.

all this is very plenty. to prevent to return to my country so we can do that again even more to. stop the presses to secure it. before they are me they stop i don't have any more security for the state so they want me also that. the pentagon is apparently threatening to drop the u.k. as america's main military ally james mattis has written to his british counterpart defense secretary gavin williamson saying britain could be dropped in favor of france the letter was leaked to the media ahead of next week's nato summit in brussels where donald trump is expected to push u.s. partners to boost their defense spending as global actors france and the u.s. have concluded that now is the time to significantly increase our investment in defense of our allies are following suit i am concerned that your ability to

continue to provide this critical military foundation is it risk of erosion. now the u.s. which spends three and a half percent of its g.d.p. on defense has repeatedly pressured its nato allies to spend at least two percent of g.d.p. in two thousand and fourteen nato agreed to increase defense spending accordingly within ten years and while the u.k. meets the criteria matt noted in the letter that more is required of britain but at the same time he stressed that france is boosting its spending despite not meeting the two percent threshold the pentagon is demanding. and it has left donald trump again saying that washington's nato partners expected the u.s. to foot the bill. with the piggy bank that they'd like to take from whether it's military protection you look at nato nato we're spending ninety percent if they don't now it's all wonderful and we like to help out but it helps them there in europe helps them

a lot more than it helps us we're very far away so we have this incredible germany is paying one percent of a much smaller g.d.p. we're paying close to four percent of a much larger g.d.p. so that doesn't work folks we asked political analyst chris bambery whether he thinks the u.k. will give in to washington's demands to spend more on the military. positionally in this so-called special relationship between america and britain it's always the united states it's called the short and britain's put a trail along like a poodle saw i suspect that post bricks that britain facing in you know worries about where its future lies the temptation is going to be yes we need to hold course the united states even if they're not that interested in interest there is a more even it's pointed out that donald trump is fed up with the reason. way of operating the brits are still likely to tag along behind and probably already know the

defense chiefs are saying to the british gun well look this is what we said we have to increase spending so i suspect actually the brits will give in to the americans of push comes to shove and they're looking over at friends and friendship that trump supposedly has a manual mccraw very worried that this special relationship as i said the brits could somehow be supplanted by the french so in london they'll be desperation to cooling to the coat tails of united states. or that does it for me i will be back of the hour with more news you are watching are the international.

there are not going to happen either. out of the money out of the money available to management. this was a good time to. try to move there i'm doubt that now mom. was. lucky enough or not act and then again why is. chanting in the hall people we believe this other over here. a lot of my kids i don't want them up aside johnny boy are the monotonic out of motherhood all the kids are there a lot of models on i'm a little like a mad building let's talk about the pimp i don't want to put out a love to my first party when i don't know the mother blogger.

good politicians do something good. i put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow i want to. let you go right to be first to see what the forecast three of them or can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city. in twenty four you know bloody revolution to clear the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still loyal i mean you know i was with you a clue in the new bill is that i'm new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. those who took. it invested over five

billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. no no no no no i don't offer. no no no. no. no no no no i don't know what he got out of the about a good. thing and i am not alone in that. we start with breaking news this hour british counter-terror police confirm two

people have been exposed to the nerve agent novacek not far from the city solsbury officers discouraged speculation on whether the incident is linked to the poisoning of russian former double agent and his daughter in march. and the u.s. marks independence day on the fourth of july but just how proud are americans to be american a new survey suggests for many patriotism could be losing its sparkle. the still separated now instead of being united i'm in the other category i am extremely. plus the first knockout stage of the quarter finals now set to kick off on friday. broadcasting live direct from our studios you with us let's go back to our breaking news police say two people who were affected by the nerve agent and know people we've exposed to get i'm not in a position to say whether the the possibility that these two investigation is led by the evidence available to speculation. or to simply say that the substance the

latin and spree is indeed snow veach addition at the moment insults. on saturday just poisoned back in march not now and it's now whether the navy agent was from the same feather. the nerd the nerve agent you british police say that they are still looking in the russia had the technical ability to produce specialists at the u.k. chemical arm that the nerve agent was produced in russia is highly likely that russia which is culpable. this is russia has compiled while other states have also developed target the former spy saying that he had no value at the head of russia's presidential elections and the football world cup. so we've now crossed live to earl rasmussen who's the executive vice president of the eurasia center a thanks for being with us here on our team international quaintance of the victims claiming they didn't there again that is not a fair point and. so we can't really be definitive about that deed it is solved

very again sign of it being there john it's going to be certainly. it has quite a fairly short and it deteriorates the effectiveness that you're it's rather rapidly through moisture in the air so that really two words and that's what it may be a link to. it it doesn't seem to be very unlikely that that it could be after four months this is. i think it's highly unlikely that it that it is something that was laying around salisbury where you alluded to the clean up places associated with this great palls here that we're dealing with leftovers of that attempt to help them or hurt them in their investigation you know it's going to be . it's going be very difficult i think because. what i've read at least in the they did not that the script did so secondary kind of transfer of was it preserved

and the big question is you know it's interesting you mention that it's a link nine miles eight or nine miles away from saulsbury but it is only five miles away from porto so. and i know over check to some degree is actually at porton i don't i don't know if there are control problems perhaps or need to be. as well within the government facility. you bring up an interesting point about porton down they have to know or have studied know the chalk in order to be able to identify it. but the timing of this is all interesting the incident comes at a time when russia is holding football world. com which many saw as a soft power victory for the country does this incident have the potential to ruin the goodwill earned by russia during the world cup i mean this of course if u.k. decides to point the finger at russia again. it's its potential i think pretty much

the. i think most people realize the script was kind of a false flag operation or russia really was not involved with there's been very little evidence of everything that's been a shared. procedures were not followed appropriately everything's being secretive. within the government u.k. government so it's very questionable what all that and we have a miraculous recovery of two people from a very very deadly nerve agent. so. did this event occurring now is that potentially could kind of diminish the positive reviews that that russia is getting absolutely you know what's interesting though i was i was into supporting something to happen. you know i was surprised nothing has happened whether in syria or ukraine anywhere else during this period because if we just look at history something always happens whether that be winter olympics whether

that be mr putin. and mr rivetted when president medvedev was. was president. the georgian invasion of attack on the such a that was during the olympics as well so usually there is some type of effort going on the leadership is focused somewhere else and and then we have some type of occurrences occurring so actually i was expecting something. you know if this is a surprise that this occurred but i was expecting something else perhaps in ukraine or or syria that would be pointed the finger at russia as well during the world cup period so timing is very suspect so nothing happens in a vacuum i'd like to say coming up shortly vladimir putin is expected to meet with president trump later this month do you think that president trump should or will raise the question about these poisonings at the summit. i think from my

understanding everything's on the table. i think you're going to hear they'll talk about north korea they'll talk about trade they'll talk about the sanctions we'll talk about the election in syria. obviously to around the. g c p o agreement there to be a agreement the but but. yes will this come up. you know was this a distraction conflict you've got. president trump has kind of mentioned you know read the invitation to russia for the g. eight. there's been positive and michelle meetings with mr bolton there. we need a distraction so so it's you know between the picts and mr trump. upcoming visit it's like i said it's very interesting coincidence.
