10:01 am
a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me. now our top story this hour british police have said they still can't link the nerve agent found in the town of amesbury with the one used in march is poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of solsbury this statement comes in the wake of the death of one of the victims of the latest poisoning the woman along with her partner had been exposed to the never agent novacek. investigation is being led by detectives from the u.k.'s counterterrorism police and network. and they are unable to say at this moment whether or not the nerve agent and in this incident it's linked to the attack on surrogate in union square. scotland yard's counterterrorism chief also said the victims must have handled a contaminated container which police are still searching for meanwhile a meeting of the government's cobra majesty committee is being held over the
10:02 am
poisoning incident in amesbury and i see a check and it takes us through the events as they unfolded as well as some of the reaction this being triggered it. one of the two people that were taken to hospital last weekend from injury which is just miles away from seoul bree where sergei and yulia scruple were said to have been poisoned by a child back in march because indeed been pronounced dead we do know that forty four year old donna sturgis died on sunday night and we know that the british prime minister has expressed that she's the poles have shocked by this development indeed the partner of this woman who was also taken to hospital remains in critical condition and scotland yard have now announced they will be treating this as a murder investigation and despite the fact that this lead a separate incident following the one with. a script is indeed being in its early stages of investigation we do know that some officials giving the whole mood about
10:03 am
these incidents have still been pointing fingers at russia already somebody is responsible for you know the end of the day. with the kremlin time to send a clear message to putin about chemical weapons the remaining games of the world cup to elsewhere in europe well us some of the newspapers here in the u.k. have indeed already followed suit i can show you just some of this morning here we have not been charged mom dad and what what she's been poisoned with is described as a russian nerve agent despite the fact that of course throughout the last several months we have heard that other countries have come forward in terms of being able to have produced this nerve agent here we have russian boys and brits dies surely given how much attention has been given to the original for you. poisoning which of course we have to keep in mind that himself and his daughter yulia are now fine and well and
10:04 am
have now for quite some time left the hospital it is expected that given the moods with the original poisoning despite the fact that investigation is now only trying to figure out how it. exactly possible that months after the original poisoning of this coupled with all the pronounce to have fallen ill for novacek we do know that given the moods by politicians here in the u.k. in terms of the attitudes of blaming russia for this despite russia saying it has nothing to do with it is likely to stick around especially with just last week before this woman unfortunately passed away we heard the home secretary talk about how russia needs to come clean in this case it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on it is the actions of the russian government that continue to undermine our security well again and of course this is a story now that has taken a much more tragic turn of events so far u.k. fishel had announced that four people had fallen sick from this nerve agent on
10:05 am
their soil we now know force that's one person has died which means this investigation is going to be even more vigorous and hopefully will be shedding light on who exactly was behind these incidents. well former u.s. diplomat jim johnson says claims made by the british authorities on the media don't quite add up. evidently as i say if the scruples were poisoned with some agent which the british authorities say is not the truck which is a highly deadly nerve agent why why did they recover but these people who were exposed weeks after the fact didn't it was simply a residue left over after presumably the area had been scrubbed i think the first thing i would do if i were british that is that is demand that their government come clean to what they actually know little really expect anything from the british media burd the british media is even worse than the american media as as being total lapdogs of whatever it is the government says. you is they're
10:06 am
becoming increasingly skeptical of the news beamed into their homes at least that's according to one recent poll conducted in the us on his mind county of breaks down the story just imagine you would botolf twenty four hours a day seven days a week three hundred sixty five days a year for two we year is preaching a simple message russia meddling in the u.s. election russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen election the united states is still vulnerable to russian and political interference if the russians were not only meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election from a far and no one gives a monkeys in two thousand and seventeen this ex national security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. . suzanne is kelly no steve was gorka no he.
10:07 am
michael flynn only the smartest of the smart get to be on jeopardy right so what does this little exchange last night say about the nation's focus or lack thereof on the whole ball of russian meddling and pollution investigation it did this may be hard for some people to understand especially those individuals on fake news c.n.n. as president trouble call them but american is no reading about this america doesn't care about this america has never yet been told either how trump colluded with anyone how the russians colluded how they affected the election nothing in calculable effort hundreds of millions spent on a simple message and people just don't get it on the show what's worse they make fun of you laugh at you imagine you're a journo with the u.s.

delegation visiting north korea and even the north koreans mock you as you board the bus the pool reporter traveling with secretary pompei you asked a north korean guide what pyongyang expects from the meetings his reply will have to see like your president says then he fired back with a question of his own asking in this van no fake news out to add insult to injury or injury to insult time is running out for the peddlers of fake new news says trump. twitter is getting rid of fake accounts as a record pace will that include the failing new york times and propaganda machine for amazon the washington post who constantly quote anonymous sources that in my opinion don't exist they would both be out of business in seven years let's be honest here nearly every major and minor media network gets its share of
10:09 am
criticism deserved or undeserved and we're no exception russia today which is the propaganda arm of the russian government the moscow controlled propaganda cable news channel russia today you know propaganda arm of the least consider the us intelligence to be a propaganda arm of the russian that all r.t. was in a propaganda arm of the russian government what's changed is that people increasingly just don't trust the media anymore it's tricky you start with one side's opinion and people ask why you didn't start with the others you report on rumors people accuse you of speculation you don't mention the rumors people accuse you of censorship but when you go all out on an intentional information crusade to smear sally and stain who only to get laughed at by the north koreans the whole that's cruel or. the mother of an indigenous missing indigenous
10:10 am
girl in canada they need to face big legal is suing the police. all of a sudden i heard a noise and looked out the window and she was getting hauled off by three men in a black truck might my call my children that i was babysitting and her children saw that. so i phoned the police and told them you know. i'll call me
10:11 am
a pick up my daughter what to do and when you're going to let her go they said form back home back home back our two hours the next day then they told me she wasn't there and they never did anything like after i saw that i told them i think like good you guys took her. what to do with her and they were saying. she's not here so it couldn't have been ass and i kept going back there and i started accusing them you know are you guys taken girls because if you are you know i'm going to make sure that you guys pay for that meanwhile according to a canadian police report in two thousand and fourteen alone one hundred sixty four indigenous women went missing a year later the number grew to one hundred seventy four. it's
10:12 am
a tragedy that. doesn't seem to and. girls are still going missing women and girls. and that scares us i think they think we're easy prey you know we're something we're can just help themselves to like take advantage of and. it's got to be you know i can't i can't think of any other reason they must think or pray they want something to chase something tell her something to kill and that's also. now this is led to activism the women's memorial march is held annually in different canadian cities to commemorate those murdered or missing the events goal is also to highlight the problem and particularly to cases involving native women the mother of missing data big goal claims indigenous women suffer frequent attacks we asked the royal canadian mounted police to comment on
10:13 am
biggles case but have yet to receive a reply literally williams who also lost a family member claims native women are attacked as the assailants no police will do little. we're targeting your. knowledge that not then won't. you nor that whether we would. or this all my life i grew up around my. how much we were. all one my mom since no one saw her. in the city so i know all the laws especially women are slim by i'm buying harder to work. myself and i. knew where all the lines are and you were i mean there was another there used next indigenous women forward with allegations against the quite loose
10:14 am
department and instead they were that's an insult but nothing happened. this week donald trump departs on a weeklong tour of europe where he'll meet his russian counterpart to and his nato allies the u.s. leader has warned alliance members he might withdraw american forces from the continent if they don't pay up the nato when i'm going to tell nato got to such big bills united states. for nato members may be concerned at trying to tough talking it seems not everyone is keen on keeping the airline plane running antiwar activists in the belgian capital hit the streets on saturday denouncing the military bloc as well as trump's upcoming visit to brussels. the next stop on trying to talk will be the u.k. and protesters that are ready to track his every move probably boyko looks at why
10:15 am
trump might end up not enjoying his stint in britain. when the orange one travels to britain he is going to join a long line of u.s. presidents face to pretend that the special relationship is real in order to get a selfie with the queen very fair to say that he would be universally welcome but the last thing that downing street and the state department want is for the donald to find out that he may be a little bit unpopular so we at i see my arm i have prepared a video guide for the head of his arrival so somebody washington just turned off thoughts queued for a second and showed him this and everything else but. mr president the people of britain are waiting to greet you in truly unprecedented numbers tens of thousands will line the streets to get evolution ready to shoot now because of how keen some people are to meet you this trip will probably avoid
10:16 am
central london which also means bypassing all those knife wielding islamist terrorists so you don't want to be highlighted in the past as lurking on every street corner the queen will instead greet you told when there is state which is far more exclusive surrounded by very high rules and much closer to the royal protocol dictates that it is better if you do not comment on her majesties of parents trying to touch her or attempt to grab her by simon i'm not saying that now mr president last year from the senators emerged of you in a very compromising position with one particular woman you're going to have to meet again. and this time around we're mitigating the risk of any such leaks by having you meet mrs may that jacket is a version of david and again with the purpose of keeping you away from all those adoring crowds i'm pleased about addressing parliament like previous lose the u.s. president's lack of an invite has prevented the embarrassment of us having to
10:17 am
decline it but sadly you won't have time to eat whole positionally that jeremy corbyn. because britain's bernie has expressed a desire to discuss a number of issues with you it's thought he is a lover of feelings and you need to demonstrate your dedication to the job of being president this trip has been upgraded from a mere state visit to a much more noble work in business and time has been allocated should you wish to carry out some of your. own either your golf courses in scotland mr president believe me when i say that britain is waiting for you. when you just news just in for you now the british foreign minister boris johnson has announced his resignation he's the third minister to quit in just twenty four hours with all three refusing to back to reason may's plans for a soft gregg sit johnson's departure follows the resignation of bricks it secretary
10:18 am
david davis and undersecretary steve baker downing street is that the new foreign secretary will be announced shortly the prime minister also thanks to boris for his work well joining me now live is artie's going underground host tansey action this is the third resignation in twenty four hours for two reason may david david is number two in the department and now parish johnson the foreign secretary what do you make of it all. well the british prime minister has lost a home secretary of defense secretary a foreign secretary in any other previous times this would of course mean an imminent resignation from the prime minister's self i should say the pound against the dollar is drop six four percent against the euro down half a cent i mean ahead of trump's visit alone a nato summit on wednesday britain faces the prospect of not actually having a government let alone any prospects for brics at negotiations and it is also interesting it has to be said that media in this country hopelessly reporting
10:19 am
a summit of the prime minister trying to cobble together some coalition over britain's exit from the european union they were all going along with it and it was only at midnight last night that some of the media here began to pick up on what is a catastrophic crisis for the british government facing problems on all sides and quite apart from the opposition to donald trump's visit who will actually be meeting is donald trump later this week is no question and exactly so what impact exactly are these resignations going to have on the brakes in negotiations. well it is interesting that over the weekend there were rumors that european presidents the many different european presidents were told they shouldn't be commenting on the deal some kind of deal that was organized over the weekend by tereza may for fear of trying to upset the politics of this country today we haven't really heard much
10:20 am
from european leaders either they have perhaps sensing maybe they just stay out of the conversation there is i suppose a doubt now whether to raise a maze plan which there was always a doubt over it i mean the plan that was published in the media here said was going to work was a plan that european presidents and european officials arguably could never have accepted and here everyone is just going into the mode of as if it's a big horse race and it's all all a bit of fun a bit of gambling. i should actually talk about with boris johnson was what he achieved because let's not forget this foreign secretary was the foreign secretary compared the world cup in russia to hitler's nine hundred thirty six olympic games he has been at the forefront there the british foreign office supporting the war in yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis let alone of course his support for the bombing of syria he frequently said i was finished and of course britain is also at
10:21 am
war in afghanistan and of course boris supported the destruction of africa's africa's per capita richest country libya it's also tricky time because that person is dealing with that second not me talking to denting do you think you are tough times for the current prime minister and you think you know she has no more perfect timing for step down do you think. yeah i mean i think from a historical perspective we should be expecting the resignation of the british prime minister in the next few hours but given her previous on remaining after so many resignations after let's face it i mean there's a wind rush scandal of the deportation of people from this country were under a scheme which arguably she was so much part of the hostile environment she saw looked over when she was her home secretary she just gone on and on and on. i think
10:22 am
i think finally maybe even mainstream commentators here and let's face it the media here as being judged by independent commentators being highly biased against the opposition in this country maybe even some of the mainstream media even here maybe sensing that time is now over would it be totally outlandish they considered that maine's government might survive this. i think certainly when it comes to breakfast negotiations nothing could be written or sent to brussels over negotiating papers and so forth how could european negotiators possibly have confidence in negotiating positions with the government under this much crisis so it's very difficult to imagine that she can continue but it's a small club they call it the most elite club in the western world conservative m.p.'s members of this strange one nine hundred twenty two committee who decide on who leads this country and let's not forget to resume did not win the general
10:23 am
election that she called last year and she's a minority government leader herself so even if they come up with a new leader that would have to be ok with the democratic unionist party formally linked to paramilitaries in northern ireland. the whole political scene here is in quite a state and whether to raise i'm a goes or not bracks of negotiations or have to go on hold and i'm sure dole trump is right now wondering whether he indeed should be coming to london at all speaking of the e.u. on briggs it tusk is that donald tusk has already commented he said the briggs it problem will not go away with davis and johnson so in the coming hours we'll be watching for the reaction of to reason may i'm sure she'll be choosing her words carefully and speaking in the coming hours so now for now after townsend thank you for joining us on r.t. thanks nicky.
10:24 am
us. well as times of the world cup now because it's a day without games so it's been fairly quiet here in moscow it is the calm before the storm with just four countries left in the race for cup glory well tomorrow france clash with belgium in a semi finals both teams are favorites of the tournament and that england will take the race. in moscow on wednesday nevertheless the charity football match involving stars off the game has been held in red square the patron is the captain of west germany's nine hundred ninety world cup winning side and accept russian midfielder alex song the most avoid the game that was organized by the naked gun foundation which helps children with disabilities we spoke to those taking. seeing children participate their emotions how it helps them become a part of this policy this is the best stone or a reward. that was presented but i

10:26 am
moment was for. the last fifteen years from the beginning it is foundation and this is a very nice in a very good producer ship and. consists in. each side from each other from the world cup was very nice to know there's a lot of surprise for syrians they do in court of course still in the street the same to washington was long. in the dawn i'm into the quarter finals maybe for many russians except. when they are playing game of this world cup was also a first by having both girls our correspondent. at the quality of women's football in russia. which team has the best pal sakura c. in the opening game of the world cup it must be russia after all they won five nil no saudi arabia wrong again so here's who did. they
