the i am i am. with little in terms of hard facts to go on the ukase media and politicians go into speculation overdrive on the latest nerve agent incident on british soil with all convinced that russia is somehow involved. prosecutors open an investigation into the mom of the toulouse small screws 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 you are quite taking on frogs.

a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me becky airing our top story this hour the british home secretary is calling on russia to come clean about the latest case of alleged nor the chalky use in the south of england meanwhile the u.k. public have been left worried after a couple ended in a critical condition with signs of what police described as nerve agent exposure 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 uncle being caught a few moments to sort of thing something you know it seems you came back to normal still closed so for it to reset again is a bit sort of iraq is going to go away we're going to come back again. personhood isn't just to work with lately. when you see nerve agent you do worry

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 bang police can say whether the nerve agent lets left or just on charlie rally critically ill came from the same batch that the script pals were exposed to but they have said it's a key 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 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 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 you want to call it. baby why you're right it's like you doing it i mean maybe why so i wouldn't use them on sticky fingers so ridiculous i believe you know i 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 down but what are the rumors one of the room is is that it was something that was disregarded it was picked up a new thinking it was

a recreational drug. in the wake of the game is reported in case some british media outlets are indulging in more fear mongering. claiming that an assassination attempt or cyber attack on critical and national infrastructure are imminent all courtesy of russia the times newspaper alleged russia would be using the ongoing world cup to divert global attention and the most go had used this strategy in the past you care fishel is also engaging in the blame russia game urging 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 streets parks 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 souls very safe the not everyone is on the idea that russia is the culprit here some journalists are raising questions as to why there has been no solid evidence presented with over three months passing since this group powell attack the idea that the world cup could serve as a good smokescreen is also being called into question r.t. is more i'd have takes a look at the reaction to the latest poisoning case. 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 time 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 of a snuff not the chalk is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly i look at the the evidence from the people from 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 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 our. 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 with 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. 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. a little deeper into this story now and bring in international affairs commentator jonathan steele mr steele thank you for joining us on r.t. international what do you make of the media reaction to this to this incident in

amesbury. well different media have different stories but i think the latest story from the times newspaper so the british intelligence agencies are expecting a so-called new attack from russia as soon as the world cup is finished he's just so there's absolutely no evidence given in the story though the courage to intelligence person himself says they have nothing specific it's just a general awareness of possibilities i mean it's just designed i think to undermine the good image that russia's been getting over the world cup is it even plausible that russia was behind this. well it would be madness to do it at this stage because as i say the world cup is in full flux flights and everybody's having a good time people are impressed vent fans have gone over there say it's much better than they expected and they thought it was going to be a hostile country and they found people who really went very welcoming so the idea

that the russian state would at this moment choose to poison the atmosphere he says this is ludicrous i mean there's no motive potential at all and behind this theory well there's there's also that claim that the world cup is just being used as a smokescreen isn't that what you make of that well i think it's been used to smoking by british intelligence to put out these stories to journalists to print them without any real checking or second guessing at those two whether it could be true or not. i mean they're sort of saying the similar percentage have no thought sporting events like the start of the georgian war in two thousand and eight happened just as the. there's a world cup was finishing i mean the person who started that war was because saakashvili is president of georgia and russia was reacting to an event started by other people. so little information has been disclosed since the poisoning of this group pals we are they know anything and even less in this latest case in amesbury

do you think what we're seeing here is the age of guilty until proven innocent well it certainly looks like that i mean journalists particularly should be very skeptical it's statements from governments and that's part of our job is to always second guess what governments are doing and check whether it's true because governments have a new interest often in concealing the truth or gilding the lily as we say but particularly when it's an intelligence matter we've had the experience of the iraq war two thousand and three when some journalists were due to the american intelligence and to some extent british intelligence as well over the w m d weapons of mass destruction which iraq was supposed to have had so you have to be very careful not to print intelligence agency stories unless you have some kind of real evidence that you know answer to or even if it's off the record. this is the speculation into russia being behind these incidents it goes much further than media reports and speculation senior year care fishtails also are accusing russia

of these poisonings why do you think no evidence has been put forward though they score pals were attacks all the way back a martins now they have gone off the radar why we are seeing any evidence to support these claims. well because there probably isn't any evidence. you ask a good question and many people in britain it was the same question where is the evidence where the facts are facts and the so-called smoking gun that can really prove that it was the russians take to deplane we haven't heard that and as you find out if. your script file has now recovered from the terrible poisoning of whoever did it. of hidden by the british state is because being denied the opportunity to give a press conference or that even if she didn't give a press conference so we have no way of asking her what she thinks about it. so the whole thing is extremely murky and people should be extremely cautious about using intelligence agency and government official. statements until as evidence donovan

is still international affairs commentator thank you for sharing your thoughts with us we appreciate it. well moving on the mom of the mosque in the french city of toulouse is being investigated for allegedly inciting hatred against jews as after a video of one of his sermons sparked outrage and accusations of anti semitism saladin 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 of to lose in terms of culture the mosque is proof of the respect and tolerance among all people of to lose. less than a week after its opening a senior cleric at the mosque. became embroiled in

a scandal in one of the sermons that was posted online he's seen reciting a passage from the head which although many scholars of islam argue otherwise has been criticised as anti semitic. remarks. house you. know who. you know who 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 office do

this to get whether this constitutes hatred in speeches defused by now what makes this controversial. the mom in question has actually been seen as a respected member of the two lose them 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 in islam 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 is written both the toulouse 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 it appears 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 firm that's cause of hatred by the mom of two mohammed 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 have met with their radiant counterpart for the first time since

the us withdrew from the pact in may the six party meeting intended to save the deal took place in vienna prior to it the german foreign minister said that the european economy would suffer in any case because of u.s. anti iran sanctions sanctions but you know caution of a personal. a round of negotiations between all size of the iranian nuclear deal and here and the austrian capital all members were present except the us now after the us withdrew from the progress in may this year all remaining producer of the deal said that they would be ready to compensate iran for the loss encouraged of by the us sanctions but now it seems something easier said than done we're trying to do 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 it by november to run for it 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 lexapro to cool solution and the specific methods continue in cooperation and simply reiterate the general nature of the commitment similar to what the european union did in its statement earlier russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that russia will do all it can to preserve the iranian nuclear deal and to protect iran's from saying sions that are really him for hosting by the u.s. starting this august so the situation seems a complicated enough with all remaining sides now trying to find a solution how to save this program how to save this deal which was reached with so many difficulties three years ago here in the austrian capital the first quarter
