with little in terms of hard facts to go on the media and politicians go into speculation overdrive. with all convinced that somehow. involved. french prosecutors open an investigation into the. report. hatred against jews. and the world cup and russia reaches the business end of the tournament we're now into the final game of the round. taking on.

friday here in moscow this is our international your program. the british home secretary is calling on russia to come clean about the latest case of alleged drug use in the south of england meanwhile the public have been left worried after a couple ended up in critical condition with signs of what police describe as nerve agent exposure. 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 bitch talk being quite a few months to sort of thing i think you know it seems you came back to normal before she saw it 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. to help her

somebody is it just to trick would like to. leave him when you see moved a few to 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 script pals back in march the u.k. government launched a multi-million pound cleanup decontamination hazmat suits the full shang police can't say whether the nerve agent lets left on sturgis and 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 clean up 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 disposal nevertheless police say the couple were exposed to the nav agent off to handling a contaminated. officials from public health anglin to 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. doing i mean maybe why so i wouldn't use the stick you think it's ridiculous my. baby wanted. anything. by about and he says she says and people know somebody that they're at the hospital down 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. so it wasn't long before the u.k. authorities started playing the blame russia game moscow to open up. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone 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 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 soulsby safe meanwhile the russian president's spokesperson has commented on the incident saying that russia denies any involvement in these incidents the major press corps on the line that moscow is now concerned that nerve agents have apparently been used again in europe with so many are knowns in the story one thing is for sure though the

british media are having a field day speculating the new want to russia's alleged involvement artie's. gets into it. 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 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 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 be chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly look at the the evidence when the people from porton down 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 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 putting down have said recently is 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 callous 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 we spoke to a security analyst and former intel officer charles shoebridge who told us the media is now 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 and american media coverage of this is that some four months and a day really now after the scribble incident which we i think assume to some degree

at least is probably linked to this incident but still four months later one of the most intensive investigations implicit 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. and has 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 so many languages 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 rational 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 robbery the statue they all need to come down come haven't had slaves and i would repeat. should not need paying poll somebody. we has had on a macro that shows the absurdity of speech codes all together this whole idea that 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 rain. across the atlantic where votes are also underway to stamp out hate speech the imaam of the mosque in the french city of toulouse is being investigated for allegedly inciting hatred against jews that's after a video was one of his spock to some outrage and accusations of anti-semitism a shot to dubin ski investigates. 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

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 all girl region instructed to lose prosecutors so please do this to get whether this constitutes hatred in speeches defused by now what makes this more controversial is the 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 polar. it is when you. record that. preach that you have something in mind contains

a bible you can change that. you can change the koran but. you can have a new point of view on what these we can both the toulouse 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 at italy's 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 time he calls for the women

nation of the jewish people and proclaims the end of israel you can ski. paris. it is the third day of violent protests in the french city of north over the death of a twenty two year old man shot by police on tuesday the protesters clashed with officers throwing molotov cocktails and starting fires and several districts police say that the young man refused to comply with the orders reversed his vehicle into an office while trying to avoid an identity check the man was previously known to authorities and investigation is underway after more on the clashes is r.t. frogs correspondent jonathan. and we'll get to that in just a moment here on the program for the meantime though the program returns and well about thirty seconds.

hawks. this is the trumpet ministration places tariffs on steel and aluminum keep global allies canada and the european union retaliate in surgery lab meets with kim jong un in point young and mike pump a zero secretary of state meets with a top north korean envoy in new york and controversial blog posts of m.s.n. b c o's joy reid come back to haunt her in the network and once again i'm supporting tonight from the r. to america newsroom this is the news on r g america.

good evening friends we start tonight with the latest in the administration's trade policy at midnight tonight the united states will impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on aluminum on allies such as mexico canada and the european union manila tran is following the story and joins us tonight and you know it certainly sounds like a trade war has it developed into one at it's not official yet but certainly new fears of a trade war is looming as this announcement delivered by commerce secretary wilbur ross spells out that when the clock strikes strikes midnight the cost of business will go up. he. makes it. out to.

be. tonight and over and brussels this news was met with a lot of anger and pushback from e.u. allies here's the european union commission president john claude yorker this is a but the. choice you opinion can look. we have to that we've had you can't just be action so really you need to introduce a sort of a dispute. on the. love the country the knowledge in this coming conflict doesn't seem measures taken. to do exactly the. same and in a press release younger said that the e.u. was also being hurt by the flooded steel market as much as the u.s. but went on to say that transactions were quote protectionist they too were being

hurt by china's production of steel and america's neighbor to the north justin trudeau said canada will impose tariffs against imports of steel aluminum and other products from the u.s. we are imposing dollar for dollar tariffs for every dollar levied against canadians by the u.s. and to the south mexico said they'll be heading back with a wide ranging set of tariffs primarily though on farm goods such as american pork apples grapes and cheese this two ratcheting up tensions between the u.s. and mexico during nafta talks which are still under way but president trump is forgoing politics as usual while his predecessors focused on political agendas such as climate change or nuclear proliferation like the iran deal all parts of political legacies trump is heading everyone where it will hurt most that's in their pockets. effective at midnight this is the first of its kind a slap to the european union a real test of their economic strength will they be able to stand up to trump so add america's friends near and far none too happy with these new tariffs and all

planning to punch back criticizing trump saying that this is not how you treat your friends but add trump called out america's quote friends who weren't keeping up with their promises like what we saw in nato america's friends are now beginning to pay their fair share there perhaps this strategy will work entree. well the president is definitely living up to what he talked about on the campaign trail thank you manila secretary of state mike pompei o says real progress has been made between the united states and north korea today in new york city it was pompei zero meeting with kim y'all chill who is a close advisor of north korean leader kim jong un president donald trump says a june twelfth meeting in singapore could still happen after he initially called off secretary pompei uses the topic of denuclearization has been difficult the effort now is to come to a set of understandings which convince the north koreans of what president trying to set this.
