a very warm welcome. the british home secretary is calling on russia to. about the latest case of alleged use in the south of england meanwhile the u.k. public. after a couple ended up in critical condition with what police described. exposure. reports 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 bitch talk being caught a few months to sort of thing i think you know it seems you came back to normal 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 like you have
5:02 am
a person who does it just to get through life to. leave him when you see moved a few degrees where 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 scrap piles back in march the u.k. government launched a multi-million pound cleanup decontamination hazmat suits the full 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 his message the government insists that the latest incident doesn't mean the cleanup after the script piles 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
5:03 am
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 temperatures. well you should do that anyway. but. baby was. going to 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 in the things she says and people know somebody that they're at the hospital at portadown but i thought i'd be remiss one of the reason is is that yeah it was something that was disregarded that was picked up a new thinking it was
5:04 am
a recreational drug so it wasn't long before the u.k. authorities started playing the 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 topics or for our streets parks towns to be dumping grounds for poison you know the offer is still there to the russian state to try and assist us 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 saying that russia denies any involvement in the incidents of demeter pascoe funded line that moscow is now concerned that nerve agents have apparently been used again in europe with so many unknowns in this story one thing is for sure though the british
5:05 am
media having an absolute field day speculating a new one russia has so-called involvement as if explains. could 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 if 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
5:06 am
a drug addict picks up no one quite knows what next he does something no one seems to know what though 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 of a snuff edge and not the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly look at the the evidence from the people from from portland 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 are not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that but the foreign secretary said then and what porton down have said recently is
5:07 am
fully consistent with what we have said throughout in all seriousness it's an interesting narrative we have. 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. 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 disinclination 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
5:08 am
collapse then quiet something happens again straight away they accuse russia you can guess what comes next. we spoke to our security analyst and former intelligence officer charles shoebridge he told us the media is now just full of conflicting reports we've got conflicting arguments all sides citing different experts qualified to varying degrees it must be said to talk about this subject some of whom 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 this morning and of course crucially what's really missing in the british media coverage of this american media coverage of this is that some four months and a day really now after the description incident which we i think assume to some
5:09 am
degree at least is probably linked to this instance but still four months later one of the most intensive investigation simply criminal history. no evidence been publicly produced of any suspects or to link this case with russia. the u.s. declaration of independence as folding file of social media censorship of facebook has deleted parts of the document in a bid to stamp out hate speech is a correspondent for the facebook algorithm has been removing content that is deemed to be racist or offensive not even the u.s. 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
5:10 am
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 to talk like other 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 know 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 they were rewritten in today's language would be a little bit more neutral facebook incident fits
5:11 am
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 us 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 robert e. lee statue they all need to come down come out here prison had slaves and i would repeat. should not pay poll somebody. we have had that kind of background it shows the absurdity of speech codes all together this whole idea that that words are violence and that just
5:12 am
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 rain. across the atlantic when efforts are also underway to stamp out hate speech the mom of the mosque in the french city of toulouse is being investigated for allegedly inciting hatred against jews and so after a video of one of his servants i spot some outrage and accusations of anti-semitism a shot to do been ski investigations. built to serve up to eighty 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
5:13 am
muslim community it benefits all the people of 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 after its 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 argue otherwise has been criticised as anti sematic. mollica. knowledge of.
5:14 am
the world when you know you know i'm going to your. local jewish group demanded legal action and now the prosecutor's office in toulouse is investigating whether it amounts to a hate crime. the perfect of region instructed to lose prosecutors so please do this to get whether this constitutes hatred in speeches diffused by video now what makes this so controversial is that the moment question has actually been seen as a respected member of the to lose 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 tolerance and when you. record that. preach that you have something in mind contains a bible attention that. can change the
5:15 am
koran but. you can have a new point of view on what these wheaten the toulouse mosque and mom taught himself so his remarks were taken out of context and didn't contain an incitement to violence against. 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 mom will continue his preaching to lose mosque while this investigation is carried out but some members of the jewish community hey 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 time he calls for the women

5:21 am
5:22 am
russian president vladimir putin who is no stranger to sport has also been getting into the spirit of the world cup on friday he received the stars of previous world cups and other football tournament in the kremlin. president gianni infantino was also the. goalkeeper and host of british michael right next to the president and with so much footballing talent in the room few of the russian leaders tried to get some intel on the likely outcome of the current championship. he pleases. those students to come on to those two. teams of thirty two i left you all. but maybe when the media leave us you will share with us who win the cup this year in your opinion. with some good. while the
5:23 am
president joked that the total months when we decided behind closed doors that you can watch the remaining games on our special coverage to find out who really will be this channel of course is oxy contin. the film money system is dying as up people are going to take way out of theater and see. that and they're going to have two broad powers to put their cash into obedience going which would be china's social networking score and hope to get more frequent flyer miles and a freeway down. or they can go down the climb path which is individual.
5:24 am
most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice or the biggest read. truth to stand the news business you just need the right questions and demand the right answer. question. joining us here on r.t. it's been revealed that almost eighty percent of nurseries in the u.k. have banned weapons over fears they encourage aggressive behavior and the poll findings come almost one month off the prince george was photographed with
5:25 am
a toy gun critics say banning toy weapons constrains a child's imagination and stops traditional playground games that encourage exercise and fresh allowed to debate the issue we've invited george bada a political activist and neil wallis a media commentator. kids play with toys they turn anything into toy guns why on earth we tend to obsess that activity that a you've got 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 that you had you had you know it was not a serious conversation like can i finish my can i finish my point now please like 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
5:26 am
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 target as a toy gun 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. want to have babies and they'll start having sex and they're going to be all of them are unmarried mothers are 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
5:27 am
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. germany's social democrats have accepted a partial compromise on migration with chancellor angela merkel making every effort to keep the hard won coalition from falling apart it was unclear whether all members of the coalition would support the deal in order to reach an agreement so-called transit centers which were to be set up along the german austrian border were left out of the plan but the deal does call for us speeding up the process of returning asylum seekers already registered in other e.u. countries. the german interior minister met in vienna with austrian chance of us about cuts to discuss the plan cuts had earlier expressed concern that the agreement might negatively impact his country but the two ended up agreeing to work
5:28 am
together to stem migration flows anyway meanwhile fellow e.u. member hungary has also made it clear it doesn't see eye to eye with when it comes to the issue of migration. downtown we have a problem that hungary doesn't feel responsible for migrants under the dublin system even of threat just to those refugees this is about people who come to that has something to do with europeans basic principle of humanity it means we defend our external borders but don't cut all the cells off and build a kind of fortress. if we are humane we have to be humane without creating a pull factor and the only way we know of doing that is closing the borders and giving help to those countries and not letting in people who bring trouble we don't want to import problems this is where we have different opinions. of our political analyst stephen meissner believes the deal is an attempt by merkel to aid her c.s.u. allies before the local elections. it's a bit of
5:29 am
a show. as we've now found out because poland and hungary and i think italy and a number of other countries that czech republic as well has said no there is no such agreement what is she talking about i don't think this policy was ever meant to seriously be implemented in the first place i mean everything that's ever been done out of all terry bases basically never happens i mean. i think the whole thing is. a bit of a charade it's a bit of a show to buy time for the c.s.u. the very in party to get them over the hump so to speak they have to somehow show themselves as a hard line tough guys at least until the elections in october and bavaria and after that doesn't really matter anymore then we've got another four years to look around as they like that's the way it looks like to me it's basically just a show. finally some news for this channel long time t.v.
5:30 am
and radio broadcaster ed schultz has passed away he joined the america in twenty sixteen and was a highly valued member of that scene he's believed to have died of natural causes that his home in washington d.c. at childers was sixty four years old before joining us he had been for several years one of the highest rated anchorman on m.s.m. b c and had a very successful career in radio his reporting gave a voice to workers and labor unions he was never afraid to speak out and during his short time on r.t. america he covered several high profile news events like the practice of both with larry king and america's twenty sixteen presidential election sen in every poll you beat donald trump for more than your opponent do you want the 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 are going to disagree but one thing we're all united on try.
