i am. with little in terms of hard facts to go on the u.k.'s media and politicians go into speculation overdrive on the latest nerve agent incident on british soil with all convinced that russia is somehow involved. french prosecutors open an investigation into the mob of the two loose mosque has reportedly been inciting hatred against jews. and the world cup in russia reaches the business end of the tournament as we're now into the quarter finals the first game of the round will see europe quite taking on frogs.

hello and a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me becky arun now our top story this hour the british home secretary is calling on russia to come clean about the latest case of an alleged norbi chalk use in the south of england meanwhile the u.k. public have been left a worried after a couple ended up in critical condition with signs of what police described as a nerve agent exposure probably boyko reports on the questions raised by the new incidents. 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 couple of feet 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. have

a person put it just to circulate sleep. then when you see nerve agent you can worry blair 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 bang police can't say whether the nerve agent that's left or just some charlie rally critically ill came from the same batch that the script housed 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 palace 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 temperatures. well you should do that anyway wash your clothes. baby was the right thing to do anything i mean maybe why so i wouldn't use them on sticky fingers so ridiculous i really don't want. anything like this room it's that fly about and he says she says and people know somebody that works either at the hospital or portadown but what are the rumors one of the rumors is that it

was something that was disregarded that was picked up a new thinking it was a recreational drug. well it wasn't long before the u.k. authorities started playing the blame russia game urging moscow to own up now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what is going on it is completely unacceptable for our people to either deliberate or accidental targets all for our streets our parks our towns to be dumping grounds for poison you know the offer 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 solsbury safe meanwhile the russian president's spokesperson has commented on the incident saying that russia denies any involvement in the incident dmitri peskov underlines that moscow is now concerns 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 media

are having a field day speculating and new on russia's alleged involvement as artie's more explains. could do putin have really done it ordered secret agents to poison 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 bled 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 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 portland they were absolutely categorical i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt we have not verified the precise source so 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 i was being very clear

i thought i was being very clear to. the german program which is that. told us in. absolutely no uncertain terms that this was a military grade. they knew what it is not the business of important and i don't know whether it's even possible for them to identify the origin in all seriousness an interesting narrative we have going here lars style 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 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 collapse then quiet something happens again straight away they accuse russia you can guess what comes next security analyst and former intelligence officer charles super-rich told us the media is now full of conflicting reports. conflict in arguments all sides citing different experts qualify 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 about the story and of course crucially what's really missing in the british media coverage of this in america media coverage of this is that some four months and a day really now after the scripted incidents which we can i think assume to some degree at least is probably linked to this incident but still four months later one of the most intensive investigation criminal history still no evidence been publicly produced of any suspects or to link this case with russia. the u.s. 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 callup more pronounceable 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 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 masses 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 they were rewritten in today's language would be a little bit more neutral facebook incident it's 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 the

members and had slaves and i would repeat. should not pay poll somebody. has had that kind of background it 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 rain. across the atlantic where efforts are also underway to stamp out hate speech the end mom of the most of the french that you have to loose that is being investigated for allegedly inciting hatred against jews and was off to a video of one of his sermons sparked outrage and accusations of anti-semitism so i

didn't ski picks up the story 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 muslim community it benefits all the people have to loose in terms of culture the mosque is proof of the respect and tolerance among all people have to lose less than a week comforter it's 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 hades which although many scholars of islam argue otherwise has been criticised as anti semitic.

you know who. you know i was you know i'm going to law. the local jewish group demanded legal action now the prosecutor's office in toulouse is investigating whether it amounts to a hate crime the perfect of region instructed prosecutors do this to gauge whether this constitutes hatred in the speeches diffused by now what makes this more controversial is that the question has actually been seen as a respected member of the two 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. call to. preach. that you have something in mind contains a bible you can turn that. puts it on you can change the koran but you can have a new point of view on what these we can both get to lose mosque burned 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 mom will continue his preaching at the toulouse 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 our most firmness cause of hatred by the mom of two mohamad to tie he calls for the nation of the jewish people and proclaims the end of israel jollity you can ski r.t. paris. five foreign ministers representing countries remaining within the iran nuclear deal are currently meeting with their raney and counterpart for the first time since the us withdrew from the pact in may the six party meeting intended to save the deal is taking place in vienna but the german foreign minister has already said that the european economy will suffer in any case because of u.s. anti iran sanctions we can go live now to our correspondent medina fortune ever

medina good to see you what more can you tell us about this meeting at this point. while the round of negotiations between all sides of the iranian nuclear deal has just. and it here in the austrian capital and old members who are present accept the us wish withdrew from this program and a made this year and now the meeting was taking place at the request of iran and russia so foreign minister sergei lavrov said that russia will do all it can to preserve the iranian nuclear deal and to protect a rant from saying that our re imposed by the us starting this august and now the remaining parties of the deal mad to work out ways how to basically save their progress now the e.u. confirm its commitment to the deal urging washington to a spear european businesses from this secondary sanctions with some officials even

claiming that they will not be able to compensate for average thing that arises from companies pulling out of iran and to ran for its support has said that so far not enough is being suggested by other remaining parties to compensate for us sanctions. unfortunately the proposed package of proposals lacks a practical solution on the specific method for continuing cooperation and simply reiterate the general nature of the commitment similar to what the european union did in its statement earlier. well here france has announced that it is a working on its own. mashers against the u.s. . with trying to do it before sanctions are imposed at the start of august and then the naga sort of sanctions in november the start of organized is a bit too soon but we're trying to do good by november. so clearly the situation is

a rather complicated here with all the remaining sides now trying so hard to find a solution to somehow save this deal that was reached with so maybe a difficulty is three years ago here in vienna. but it a question of a thank you for the update we're going to be back after this short break to stay with us. when i was trying seemed wrong but all wrong just don't call. me lol but you get to stamp out disdain because attitude and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

we have some informations about trees here and we still talk in the bar scene cars that is able to buy a. lot of the others just use just the pods it's one. i thought. i.

went out with more at the top of the hour. the film money system is dying as a people are going to take way out of theater and see it curtains accept that and they're going to have to broaden past which is they can put their cash into folk mediums toy which would be this china social networking score and hope to get more frequent flyer miles and a freeway down of that or they can go down the claim path which is individuals up. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is

always spontaneous or is it your goal here i mean your list book to do with the billions that are on the schooling needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the president is campaigning on immigration but it's a topic that's fractured his own party what's going on we're taking a look at that on this edition. of politicking on larry king all the president has attempted to rile up his base with harsh immigration rhetoric during campaign style stump speeches republican

lawmakers have been unable to unite behind any sort of immigration plan what's going on can the party come up with a plan all sides agree on before the midterms let's begin there with our political panel joining me from oklahoma city is chris wilson he was director of the shades. did you. ted cruz's twenty sixteen presidential campaign and he's c.e.o. of w d a intelligence and did it come from former press secretary hillary clinton former u.s. naval officer he's presumably vice chair of vote vets he's in new york city chris why didn't the republicans and the leadership tried last time come up with an immigration deal well i think it's fairly complex and since there are several different factions of republican party that want to see different things done the president made a very it's made very clear he's not going to get be able to be to sign anything that doesn't fund the building of a wall then you have as you mentioned earlier that i work for senator cruz's

campaign twenty sixteen and he has worked very hard to try and change or fix the the problem with the families being separated down on the border and in fact is has reached a bipartisan agreement is trying to get that fixed and working in conjunction with dianne feinstein on that so i do think there are a little incremental steps that can be made along the way but in terms of an overarching immigration strategy and getting something done that does fix the issues of a secure border and of the same time bills of dhaka it is not likely that that gets done prior to the election election twenty eighteen and peter what effect will that have on the elections do you think i think that what you're seeing is a lot of energy. really bubbling up across the country based on the fact that donald trump is is governing as if he's president of only his base only his core supporters he doesn't seem to be governing as if he's president of the entire country so his leadership.
