one thing that. prosecutors opened an investigation into the. breach is the business. quarter final. game of the.

top stories for the. international welcome to your friday. the british home secretary is calling on russia to come clean about the latest case of alleged in the south of england meanwhile the media the media the public left in a state of worry after a couple ended up in critical condition with signs of what police described as nerve agent exposure. a report on the questions raised by the latest incident. they thought the story had finally gone away but four months on there are police cordons journalists and that strange russian back on everyone's lips no bitch i can remain deadly for long periods exposed to the nerve agent no rich young being caught a few months to sort of thing i think you know it seems you came back to normal

prophecies still closed so for it to rear its head again is a bit sort of iraq is going to go away we're going to come back again i put a personal thought it was a just a drug related. problem and when you see a nerve agent you do the worrying part is a bit confusing really it's not hard to see why there's a bit of confusion around these parts after the poisoning of the script back in march the u.k. government launched a multi-million pound cleanup decontamination hazmat suits the full bang police can't say whether the nerve agent lets left or just some charlie rally critically ill came from the same batch that the script pals were exposed to but they have said it's a keen line of the investigation and if it does turn out to be residual nerve agent it begs the question how did the big cleanup that was carried out. mess it the government insists that the latest incident doesn't mean the cleanup after the

script poisoning was incomplete home secretary sajid javid also said that any items that may have hobbit any residual amount of the agent was safely removed for disposal nevertheless police say the couple were exposed to the nerve agent off to handling a contaminated. officials from public health england have urged people in salzburg not to pick up any on known items they also gave detailed instructions for more precautionary measures things like using baby wipes or washing clothes at specific temperature. well you should do that anyway. but. baby why. not do it i mean maybe why so i wouldn't use the stick you think it's ridiculous my . baby bunny. remits that fly about and he says she says and people know somebody that they're at the hospital at portadown but what are the

remains one of the remains is that yeah it was something that was disregarded that was picked up a new thinking it was a recreational drug it wasn't long before the u.k. authorities started playing the now seemingly obligatory blame russia game moscow to own up it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what is going on it is completely unacceptable for our people to be either deliberate or accidental targets all for our streets parks towns to be dumping grounds for poison you know the all for is still there to the russian state to try the sisters to tell us what happened because that would definitely help keep the people of souls very safe. meanwhile the russian president's spokesperson has commented on the incident so that russia denies any involvement in the salzburg incident and to major press corps find a line that moscow is now concerned that nerve agents have apparently been used in

europe again and with so many unknowns in this story one thing is for sure though the british media is having a field day speculating and new on russia's alleged involvement as what i'd guess do you have explains. putin have really done it ordered secret agents to poison a random drug addict and his homeless girlfriend with a lethal nerve agent all in the middle of a flawless world cup with billions watching russia yeah he could if you watch t.v. enough espionage and intrigue once again striking this sleepy corner of england that may have been left by the assailants who attacked the script files either it was left there during the preparation or after that attack russian intelligence was behind this but the fact is blood amir putin has flat out denied it he's refused to cooperate with britain. and if we don't we simply don't know how many more people

can be can come into contact with this think about it it makes perfect sense a drug addict picks up no one quite knows what next he does something no one seems to know what the suddenly he's in hospital for almost a week being treated for what no one knew what with this much evidence how could you not blame russia it could only have been putin just like it was last time you argue that their source they snuff the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly i look at the the evidence from the people from port and they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt we have not verified the precise source but to be clear you're not able at all down to say where it is from we haven't yet been

able to do that what the foreign secretary said then and what porton down have said recently is fully consistent with what we have said throughout in all seriousness it's an interesting narrow. if we have going here last britain's accusations which seemingly founded on a highly likely assessment therefore it's highly likely that it's highly likely that it's all russia's fault the decision taken by the russian government to deploy these souls on march the fourth was reckless and. there is no cause of alternative explanation to the events in march other than the russian state was responsible we have already seen multiple explanations from state sponsored russian media regarding this latest incident we can anticipate further disinflation from the kremlin as we saw following the source we've come full circle they sat there

for months ago making the same claims something happens accuse russia arguments collapse then quiet something happens again straight away they accuse russia guess what comes next security analyst and former intelligence officer charles birch told us the media is now full of conflicting reports inconsistent narrative that's being pursued by politicians and by the media so here in the u.k. we've got a conflict in arguments all sides citing different experts qualify to varying degrees it must be said to talk about this subject some of them are still saying that. such as described can easily be washed off handspike just using baby wipes as indeed the police seem to be suggesting today in their advice to people. on the other hand it's extremely persistent and will last for ever according to a newspaper article i've read this morning and of course crucially what's really

missing in the british media coverage of this and american media coverage of this is that some four months and a day really now after the scripted incident which we can i think assume to some degree at least is probably linked to this instead. but still four months later one of the most intensive investigation criminal history. no evidence been publicly produced of any suspects or to link this case with russia. the us declaration of independence has fallen foul of social media censorship facebook has deleted parts of the document in a bid to stamp out hate speech. details the facebook algorithm has been removing content that is deemed to be racist or offensive not even the us declaration of independence has escaped the crusade against hate speech check out this not so frequently quoted grievance against the british empire back in seventeen seventy six that was recently removed from the site. he has excited domestic insurrections

amongst us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our front two years the merciless indian savages whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages sexes and conditions no one thought twice about phrases like merciless indian savages back in seventeen seventy six but nowadays it's not exactly considered to be polite vocabulary however facebook sent an apology to the newspaper that posted it and overturned its ban so perhaps it's now ok so that too abrasive for a public forum you can't go and talk talk about the people but i think you can say your own opinion that's why we have freedom of speech you'll be teaching soon language use even the measures might be the same i'm all about freedom of speech so if it's than people don't want to read it they don't have to you know where that comes from where that's from the declaration of independence really wow wow amazing but i feel like we've evolved from a place. as far as

a society of how we think about each other and our backgrounds from when the declaration was written maybe if we were rewritten in today's language would be a little bit more neutral facebook incident fits a pretty common trend in recent us politics americans just aren't sure how to deal with their own history and twenty eleven congressional republicans made a big show of reading the u.s. constitution aloud however they had to remove some key passages that were a little offensive you know things like african-americans constituting three fifths of a human being statues of george washington and thomas jefferson are now being desecrated because let's not forget they own slaves now statues of christopher columbus who slaughtered native americans are facing a similar rebuke george washington was a slave owner i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jefferson statue or robbery the statue they all need to come down come haven't had slaves and i would repeat. should not pay poll somebody. we has had

that kind of background that shows the absurdity of speech codes all together this whole idea that words are violence and that just a false construct i think it's always ok to question your history but what the problem where we get off the rails as we like to say is when you try to apply today's standards to yesterday's standards and try to protect people from words if the words call for violence directed violence we ban those if the words are just offensive leave it alone let free speech reign well i mean time across the atlantic where efforts are also underway to stamp out hate speech of the of the mosque in the french city of toulouse is being investigated for allegedly and so i think hatred against jews that's after a video is one of his spark some outrage and accusations of anti-semitism i shall do when he picks up the story we'll just serve up to a c.

thousand muslims in the area the new grand mosque of toulouse was hailed as a symbol of diversity and tolerance the grand mosque doesn't only benefit the muslim community it benefits all the people have to lose in terms of culture the mosque is proof of the respect and tolerance among all people have to lose less than a week to rates opening a senior cleric at the mosque. became embroiled in a scandal in one of these so that was posted online he's seen reciting a passage from the head east which although many scholars of islam otherwise has been criticised as anti semitic.

you know. who. you know i was you know on the low. a local jewish group demanded legal action and now the prosecutor's office in toulouse is investigating whether it amounts to a hate crime the project of growing region instruct to lose prosecutors to investigate whether this constitutes hatred in speeches diffused by the to you now what makes this controversial is the question has actually been seen as a respected member of the too loose limbed community and he's the president of a nonprofit group which aims to promote dialogue between different religious groups he's also given interviews where he's talked about. in when you.

recall to. preach that you have something in mind contains a bible attention that. can change the koran but. you can have a new point of view on what these we can do to lose mosque and mom taught himself so his remarks were taken out of context and didn't contain an incitement to violence against jews this translation is somewhat modified as it was taken out of context this message warns us that we shouldn't commit these acts if we want to avoid the last judgment the a moment it appears it will continue his preaching to loose mosque while this investigation is carried out but some members of the jewish community here in france feel he needs to be removed from his post with immediate effect.

the representative council of french jewish institutions condemns with most firmness calls of hatred by the mom of two mohammed to tie he calls for the elimination of the jewish people and proclaims the end of israel jollity pinsky. paris. it is a world cup quarter finals time and friday was a europe wide take on france and brazil clash with belgium. as we can show you now are just eight teams out of the thirty two remaining the last game later in the day will likely see france's teenage sensation. vying with your voice luis suarez a brazil struck in a mob meanwhile has been promised land by the mayor of cazan the people's off a hat trick in the evening game against belgium while football players are busy on

the field so hold them up all across social media. i. was. back. was. it. was. was only. was.

one thousand and ninety eight world cup champions france will be facing off with two time winners europe. her. support will no doubt play a big role today voting from those whose teams are already well out of the tournament the peter all of a caught up with us some argentinian is now roaring europe while. all funds come to the world cup hoping it's going to be a sight that lifts the famous trophy after the final bullets in order for teams to go through teams have to go out the funds in many cases they stay on the tournament and they maybe pick up a second team maybe move on and support somebody who they haven't thought they

would be following in the past i'm joined now by two fans who had come here hoping they would go to c.n.n. messi and i didn't tina go on to watch the final not to be of course i'm joined by mariano and enzo he's come from los angeles but of course supporting team. tell us a little bit about the told him and so far what your experience has been fantastic great they're great people in russia they treat us very well. but unfortunately outside even make it but we'll we'll we'll go for the for this. which is no no you've been watching this with the old man and you have to keep him in line times. yeah my dad has quite a loud mouth but i'm really just happy to be. messi is not going to be lifting the famous trophy this time around go home empty handed you guys don't have to go home empty handed it to. me i will pull we've been having

a bit of a key feel throughout the tournament i can tell you the english fans i think the highest they've got was around sixteen the panamanian fans of the win is so far i couldn't even count how many would do it for argentina in the. four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen that will to the nuts you'll give guys you're taking a home with you thank you very much guys enjoy the rest of the tournament and good luck to you or to playing with. you thank you very much thank you. belgium is a brazil game it takes place. tonight belgium found but waiting for the team for the players hotel they were chanting the name of the belgian strike. however it's the brazil fans seem to have taken over because on some of them have already attained a celebrity status. an impossible task.

overtaken by the men and women and yellow. well you know i found one brazilian fan who is very famous in russia now. i. want to. thank. you.

program continues in just a moment. something seems wrong. wrong just don't hold. me. to shame. to stay active. engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she says to look for common ground. apply for many years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't only about what happens on the beach or the final school it's about the passion from the fans

it's the age of the shaper money. has been spent each year to twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else going to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great chance with. the thinks. i could have you with us today it's been revealed that almost eighty percent of nurseries in the u.k. and toy weapons of affairs they encourage aggressive behavior in the poll findings come almost one month off the prince george was photographed with a toy gun critics say banning toy weapons constrains a child's imagination and stops traditional playground games that encourage exercise on fresh well that's

a debate to debate the issue we did invite george bata a political activist and media commentator neil want us. kids play with toys they turn anything into toy guns why on earth we tend to obsess that activity that a year is going to turn them into serial killers later for me that for me that's not fun now it seems to me by the way this isn't like a government set of nannies they know you as a serious candidate can i finish my can i finish my point now please this is not the nanny state saying please don't do it the question is how do i and relation to my four year old try and relate to these things and the last thing i'm saying is you know demonize children because they want to you know they're playing things out in a certain way and going bang bang i mean for a start you know kids will do that anyway without the toy guns i just think the idea of making fun of something that is a selling century killing machine is a complicated things you're mentioning that you're a grown man with a four year old well funnily enough and i'm a grown man with

a twenty four year old and he played with guns when he was young and he's not turned into a serial killer and so it's not that i'm saying no parent should be allowed to have toy guns or toy guns should be banned what i'm saying is that is a decision for parents the point is we have a an element of society that simply wants to dictate everything so the next element of this is girls must not play with dollies they must not imitate mommy playing with goalies because they were all want to have babies and they'll start having sex and they're going to be all of them are unmarried mothers or twelve but for me there's no comparison the fact is that making play out of nurture is i think a very very good thing for children making play out of people killing each other so that when they grow up as i did what is in their heads when they think killing is all the fun of play and the fun of killing on t.v. and the fun of war movies just let him go out in the yard and play and make noise

and do whatever they want and stop trying to control them. finally some news on this channel the longtime t.v. and radio broadcaster ed schultz has passed away joined r.t. america in twenty sixty and was a highly valued member of the team is believed to have died of natural causes at his home in washington d.c. ed was sixty four years old now before joining our c. he had for several years been one of the most watched command on m.s.m. b.c. and had a successful radio career as a reporting gave voice to workers and labor unions he was never afraid to speak out during his short time on r.t. america he covered several high profile news events like the vote with larry king on america's twenty sixteen presidential election. senator in every poll you beat donald trump far more than your opponent do you want to superdelegates to consider that and i think they have to look at hillary clinton

and i disagree on a whole lot of issues and people in the convention i'm going to disagree but one thing we're all united on trump would be a disaster for this country must not become president or have still you understand why i have come all the way from the united states there's a big anxiety over britain's vote among politicians in the united states a long time broadcaster of larry king and longtime friend and associate of donald trump known well it's good to be with a great look and said it's good to have here in washington looks terrific and it's a perfect day for an inaugural start very cold and some if in the air this clouds they should be clouds. larry i said you know well meaning i think there are a lot of americans out there wondering what's donald trump really like team great to be with you tonight i know all of you are loaded for bear was probably won't say very. u.s. presidential candidate senator bernie sanders offered his condolences of at

schultz's death. and if you had the senator on multiple occasions you got it that it was his personal friend that his death is a great loss. so i will thanks for joining us here on r.t. international on this friday we'll get more of your top stories in about twenty five minutes. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to meet the people this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us they're all. allowed to miss you guys you've got. going to go buy been this is
