operation video released over the hypersonic systems. just off the one pm here in moscow you're watching t.v. international busy day for news that's the. u.k. media reporting that investigators have identified those behind the poisoning of double agent. and his daughter this year a source with knowledge of the probe told press association investigators believe they have a suspect it's perpetrators behind the attack on the script. joining us here. to take us through what's been revealed so far. you know all this has allegedly come from
6:02 am
a source close to the police investigation into the original poisoning in souls of the script. back in march and this anonymous source told the press association that investigators are apparently closing in on the suspected perpetrators of that original attack they've apparently been scanning c.c.t.v. images and they've crossed checked this with rec cords of people that were coming in and out of the country at the time because the bomb shell here really is that they are sure apparently the suspects are russians now it's important to note that this information is unconfirmed as yet so far it's just come from this one anonymous source speaking to the press association but naturally it's doing the rounds here and it's headline news now even though as yet we haven't had any official updates from the police investigation this hasn't stopped the press

speculation so according to the sun for example scotland yard apparently believes that it was a two man hit squad that carried out the attack of the kremlin the para thought to have left the u.k. for russia the morning after the attack and i mean this is a quote directly from the sun that thought to be under the protection of president vladimir putin. consistently denied any claims of involvement in this case even though britain the british government pointed the finger at the kremlin slewed off to the attack took place saying it was highly likely that russia was behind it and now following on from these. these new unconfirmed reports the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander yack event has already responded take a listen to what he had to say. russia wants to hued names of those accused of poisoning the screwballs from the authorities for now they're only media reports
6:04 am
where you can see that the russian ambassador actually upping the ante somewhat he's saying well go on let's see the names then if we're going to talk about this why or why is this all based on unconfirmed reports and we've just got a line from the russian foreign ministry as well back in moscow they're saying that if the u.k. keeps these alleged russian suspects classified if the case becomes secret then moscow will interpret it as a cover up of the perpetrate is so there's clearly a growing sense of frustration from the russian side had the british media can sort of go on making these allegations that worried that perhaps they'll be able to go in making these allegations indefinitely without having any sort of official statements from the investigation to back up these claims and all of his political life in london thank you. a u.s.

court has refused bail to russian citizen maria buton after she pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to act as a kremlin agent earlier prosecutors released court papers relating to her case the documents claim that bush was in contact with the russian intelligence officials and even that she offered to send exchange for a job at a u.s. special interests organization. the twenty nine year old has appeared in federal court and entered a plea of not guilty contesting the charges against her and she's been denied bail so she will remain in federal custody pending trial documents presented by the federal prosecutors have a lot of really unclear words in them for example it says appears to have ties to russian intelligence services they believe they said that was in contact with officials believed to be russian intelligence operatives furthermore they stated that they had a handwritten note that says how to respond to f.s.b.
6:06 am
employment offers so this is what they have a lot of very unclear statements in the document and furthermore they went on to allege that she has been covertly offering people sex for favors and basically the charge is that she has been operating in pro-gun lobby groups and with the republican party and has been doing so on behalf of the russian government without registering herself as a foreign agent now a lot of the media reports are using words like spy and espionage but none of those charges have been filed she is not being accused of doing any military related work no classified information is involved in the case it's simply alleged misuse lobbying and behaving as a lobbyist without registering as a lobbyist on behalf of the russian government of the spokesperson for the russian ministry has come forward and said they are alarmed by the case and they are calling the charges groundless and politically motivated we've heard they are
6:07 am
saying essentially the f.b.i. instead of dealing with its basic duties to combat crime is carrying out a plane political order her lawyers argued that she has been cooperating with federal officials in the united states for the last few months that she is not a flight risk but the judge didn't hear it and the judge said that she was denied any bail so she remains in federal custody awaiting trial on these charges of being an unregistered for. an agent lobbyist. a french court has rejected a case brought by survivors of the twenty fifteen terror attacks against the state over its handling of the tragedy the lawsuit looked at the actions of a group of soldiers ordered not to intervene despite being armed and positioned right outside the concert hall in paris as the assault unfolded as i corresponded with details charlotte do pinsky. these claims were brought in front of the court just about a month ago and they were brought on relation to the victims and the families of
6:08 am
those who didn't survive the battle plan attacks. was. so what they claim to basically is that the french state failed to assist in danger by not intervening and what was happening that night at the vatican because the soldiers were not only given orders not to go in to be in they were also given orders not to give their weapons to the police who actually wanted to go inside and to troy and assist those who were being injured in this century that slaughter that was taking place now the court documents that were put in also alleges that the terrorists were able to freely move within the european union because of the showing in area and the final major claim that was made is that the security services actually let them slip through the net and that's because many of the perpetrators of this attack were actually known to the security services before that terrible night back in november two thousand and fifteen now
6:09 am
the court rejected those principles saying that the state there was no evidence that the state could have known that the battle in particular would be targeted in this event now we've also heard from one of the lawyers of the victims today who saying that she just doesn't accept this ruling in november thirteen attacks are not inevitable everything was now on the degree of danger was known deceived me earlier to draw conclusions from previous attacks linked to the lack of surreal and and vigilance by the security services of their french state many of the questions that the families wanted answered still haven't been answered not by this case today nor by the parliamentary inquiry which followed those attacks just a year or so ago about we do know is as those are answers remain those questions remain unanswered they will be something that those. families will continue to think about and wonder whether in their minds they could have been mood done to

save their loved ones and help more people survive there's a text back on the phone the thirteenth two thousand and fifteen. the russian defense ministry has unveiled video of its new generation of weapons in action some of the world's most powerful arguments are now fully operational in the russian military but i'd go as the takes a closer look. when putin announced this new arsenal it came out of nowhere seemed like size five overkill to some but you know we now have videos of each. kindle or dagger and russian is a hypersonic missile and it's fast really fast flies at three kilometers a second when deafening tries to shoot it down it dodges to maneuvering flying in an unpredictable trajectory weld first by the way the u.s.
6:11 am
plans to test its own analogue next year. saddam out this is the overkill bought a new nuclear i.c.b.m. that carries get this twenty nuclear warheads the real a slow is its range which is practically unlimited where past nuclear missiles had to use the shortest flight path and fly through ed defenses this thing can literally fly to the south pole and back up to hit that stargate from behind. if for whatever reason you don't feel like flying through and. there's adam god that's designed to literally ram its way through enemy anti missile defenses with speed first it's lifted into space then its engines turn on and it enters the atmosphere at knock twenty that's roughly seven kilometers
6:12 am
a second. poseidon the greek god of this she may be gone but he's got a no less terrifying successor a nuclear powered paedo that travels so deep and so fast it's in theory undefeatable. snick a new nuclear powered nuclear capable cruise missile it's literally powered by a nuclear reactor on board inside the misselling meaning it's got indefinite range so long as the reactor has fuel it can stay airborne fluids around and around until the opportunity to strike. combat lasers always been a cool science fiction gimmick but they never really got doing the science and technical requirements were too great until now it seems it is yet named after
6:13 am
a russian worry among the laser weapons system designed to deliver incredible amounts of energy in a small area so shoot down all melt down and incoming drew nor jethro shelled for example other than that not much known yet. now one might ask isn't all that is just begging for an arms race is russia each in for a fight no says putin it's all about balance balance means peace the four things were even russia and the us had nuclear parity mutually assured destruction then after the u.s.s.r. collapsed nato began to expand began to field new weapons that could destroy russian nukes what putin unveiled is russia's

they put themselves on the line. so for us. to be. before. people. interested always in the water. right now. facebook moderators have been instructed not to remove content that violates the company's guidelines if indeed it generates enough money that's according to an undercover investigation by the u.k.'s channel four reporter a. six week training session on facebook's content policy. for.
6:16 am
your. see. one example is the page of jailed far right activist tom robinson this was given the same kind of protected status normally reserved for government pages and big news organizations tom robinson who used to lead the english defense league a street based social movement opposed to islamists and islamic extremism after leaving the league he became a freelance journalist and robinson was recently sentenced to thirteen months for contempt of court after a live streaming over facebook a report on an ongoing trial ati's isa ali takes a closer look at facebook policy. so this channel four documentary dispatches sends
6:17 am
an undercover reporter to work for c l now they're a contract for facebook and they provide a number of services including moderating content for the social media giants not undercover reporter he goes in and one of the things that he's instructed to do in his training is not to delete for example certain racist means or certain images also to do with child abuse the normal facebook rules state that should a page violate the rules or the terms of conditions five times or more than the entire page is to be brought down and not just the offending content but in the case of leaders like tommy robinson then that content wasn't brought down all those pages weren't brought down facebook they've apologized for the revelations which have come out of that dispatches documentary and have vowed that they will investigate we take these mistakes incredibly seriously and are grateful to the
6:18 am
journalists who brought them to our attention we have been investigating exactly what happened so we can prevent these issues from happening again so it would appear that far right groups and leaders like tommy robinson it's not so much what they say or what they do which is important to facebook but how much money they can make for the social media in terms of deciding what is and isn't hateful and it's interesting that it comes as off wall of the social media giants not just facebook but twitter and others that they need to do more to police their sites better. the israeli parliament has passed a controversial war that bars any activists or human rights groups critical of the israeli defense forces from entering schools but activists who actively promote legal or international political actions to to be. could outside israel against soldiers of the israel defense forces or against the state of

going to welcome to worlds apart from the darkest day in the history of the american presidency to the national trees and there is no shortage of dramatic trams to describe the outrage some of the united states feel in the aftermath of the pluton trunk meeting in the house and kids regardless of the leader's intentions did they do indeed add insult to injury and further crippled the u.s. russia relationship by driving critics up their wall well to discuss that i'm now joined by graham allison professor at the john f. kennedy school of government at harvard university and former u.s. assistant secretary of defense professor alison it's a great honor talking to you thank you very much for your time my pleasure to be here well professor allison as i was following the news out of helsinki i thought that the united states ought to declare a june sixteenth as the national outrage day because i honestly don't remember so much spite and venom over in policy terms at least nothing there were annoyed
6:29 am
agreements signed in helsinki trying didn't hand the keys from the white house to put in and yet the coverage of this meeting was as if he solved he's entire country to an enemy where do you stand on these do you think trump indeed committed treason by engaging putin. exaggeration but in the world of trope everything is exaggerated so you're correct in saying that. his antics. is driven his critics up the wall or. you know excesses of all sorts so there's almost as if they deserve each other so trump is the most unusual idiosyncratic leader that we've seen he's in the midst of a very serious struggle at home with people who are hoping to impeach him and this
6:30 am
is for trying to interpret it from moscow you've got to realize this is a reflection of a fundamental struggle that's going on within the u.s. as you listen to the noises well we certainly understand that but i think that the domestic struggle also has major implications for the rest of the world including russia and i heard you say in an earlier interview that the reason why the soviet union and the united states in gazed in a dialogue wasn't because they liked each other it was for the exact opposite reason they disliked each other they saw our chances of conflict as high and they sought to diminish those chances by reducing a possibility for misunderstanding and the up trumps critics whom you mentioned apparently what don't want him to engage in any sort of a dialogue or perhaps they want team to be extremely rude to put ten is that because they don't believe a war with russia is possible do they consider that.
