7:01 am
systems in action. thanks for joining us live on r.t. international. today welcome to the program. u.k. media reporting that investigators have identified those behind the poisoning of double agent. distorter you earlier this year the source with knowledge of the probe told press association investigators believe they have identified the suspected perpetrators behind the attack on the script. so let's go live now to. the big development here in the investigation at least according to this unnamed source what exactly has been revealed so far. well yeah this all comes from one source close to the police investigation into the original
7:02 am
script poisoning back in march and this anonymous source has told the press association that investigators are closing in on the suspected perpetrators of the attack apparently they've been examining c.c.t.v. footage and they've cross checked it with the red cords of people who had come in to and left the country around the time of the attack against the script back in march because the bombshell in these reports really is that apparently police investigators are positive that the perpetrators of the attack were russian it's important to note that these are unconfirmed reports as yet so far it's just come from this one report by the associated press but naturally the stories doing the rounds already it's making pretty big headlines even though as yet we don't have any official update or confirmation from the oath or ities about this that hasn't

stopped the press speculation though just to give you an example the sun newspaper has elaborated on these reports saying scotland yard apparently believes a two man hit seen carried out the attack against the script files at the request of the kremlin and the path of thought to have left the u.k. and gone back to russia the morning after the attack against the script files and there thought to be under the protection of president vladimir putin that's a quote from the sun newspaper for you. has consistently denied any claims of involvement in this case even though the british government pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin in the days off to the attack in march saying it was highly likely that russia or did the poisoning and now. now following these unconfirmed reports we've already had the response of the russian ambassador to the. event take
7:04 am
a listen. russia wants to hued names of those accused of poisoning the screwballs from the authorities are now their only media reports. and in a way you see the russian diplomat there really upping the ante saying well go on then give us these names if you're going to write inspect elate so much about this story let's get some official confirmation and we've just got a line from the russian foreign ministry over in moscow as well they said that if the u.k. keeps these alleged russian suspects classified that that is if this case becomes secret well then moscow will consider it's a cover up of the perpetrators so there's clearly a sense of frustration coming out of russia that the british media can sort of go
7:05 am
on making these allegations almost indefinitely without any sort of official statements to back them up or at all to use poly they're giving us the latest on what saga thanks a lot polly let's go now to moscow where president vladimir putin's addressing. the foreign minister let's take a listen in. you sure are here so thousands of football fans from all over the world they saw a different kind of russia russia that is open to the world russia that is friendly this is obviously a breakthrough because this is what we call popular to crush and democracy and you made an important contribution to that as well or you may congratulate. but i think you left your. colleagues of course but the burden of. the foreign minister on a diplomatic mission will only keep increasing more and more of that which is about to you i would like to assure you that russia's little ship will always do

7:07 am
the annual address at the russian foreign ministry quarantining on the world cup obviously the success of that football first of all which is wrapped up here in moscow just a few days ago. now a u.s. court has refused to bail russian citizen maria after she pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to act as a kremlin agent earlier prosecutors released court papers relating to that case the documents claim that butanol was in contact with russian intelligence officials and that she offered sex in 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
7:08 am
russian intelligence services they believe they said that was in contact with officials believed to be russian intelligence operatives furthermore they stated that they have a handwritten note that says how to respond to f.s.b. 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 ask 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
7:09 am
ministry has come forward and said they are alarmed by the case and they are calling the charges groundless and politically motivated we have heard they are saying essentially the f.b.i. instead of dealing with its basic duties to combat crime is carrying out a plane political order for 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. an agent lobbyist. owed france in the meantime a court has rejected a case brought by survivors of the twenty fifteen batticaloa on terror attacks in paris against the states over its handling of the tragedy the lawsuit looked at the actions of a group of soldiers who were ordered not to intervene that the spite being armed and posted just outside the concert hall in paris as the assault unfolded here's
7:10 am
our correspondent there in ski with more details. 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 those who didn't survive the battle plan attacks. so what they claim to basically is that the french state failed to assist those 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 essentially that small to 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
7:11 am
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 the court rejected those principles saying that the state there was no evidence that the state could have known that the battery 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 the degree of danger was known to state failure to draw conclusions from previous attacks linked to the lack of surreal and and vigilance by the security services of the 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 but we do know is as those answers remain those questions remain
7:12 am
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 this attacks back on a vote on the thirteenth two thousand and fifteen. or the russian defense ministry has unveiled video of its new generation weapons in action some of the world's most powerful armaments are now operational in the russian military. takes a closer look at the new arsenal. 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 in russian is a hypersonic missile and it's fast really fast flies at three kilometers a second and then anything tries to shoot it down it dodges to maneuvering flying

7:18 am
say it essentially diminishes the status of the country's arab citizens and let's get more now from poor silly controversial mall paula what are people saying about it. well it certainly is controversial we've seen a number of heated debates in the country's knesset the parliament over the fact that there's a contentious nation state bill has now been passed into law and what this effectively means is that enshrined in israel's basic law will be the idea that israel is recognised as the historic homeland of the jewish people and that they have exclusive right to national self-determination not supporters of the bowl say that it essentially equates jewish values with democratic values putting them on an equal footing but critics and there are several if not many they say that it effectively discriminates against the country's arab population and other minorities the bowl also says that jerusalem is the capital of israel it says that the official calendar is the hebrew calendar and it recognizes jewish remember and
7:19 am
states it wickednesses the israeli version of independence day and jewish holidays now when it finally was passed in knesset it saw a lot of anger and reaction particularly from members of parliament who essentially ripped it to shreds take a look. here this is an evil law black flag hovers over it this is a law over which harbors a black flag. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu by comparison has said that this is a pivotal moment in the history of zionism and in the history of the state of israel he says that this means that israel has effectively now in shrine into law the basic principles of its existence. and this is a historic moment in the history of zionism and the history of the state of israel israel is the national state of the jewish people and national state respects the
7:20 am
rights of individuals the rights of all citizens and in the middle east only israel respects these rights so today we have written the law in stone. now the ball was first proposed back in two thousand and eleven and over the years controversial as it is he has seen and number of levites and parallel proposals the country's prime minister netanyahu has always supported and for years he has vowed that eventually it will be passed into law and that's what we've seen happening now with a lot of the action. artie's paul is clear there with the latest on that news from israel. now facebook moderators have been instructed not to remove content that violates the company's guidelines if it generates enough revenue that's according at least the undercover investigation by the u.k.'s channel for their report certain that a six week training session on facebook's content moderation policy this is what
7:21 am
they found out. the. real world. one example is the page of a jailed far right activist tommy robinson this was given the same kind of protected status normally reserved for government pages and big news organizations tom robinson used to lead the english defense league that was a street based social movement opposed to islamists and islamic extremism after leaving the league he became a freelance journalist robinson was recently jailed for thirteen months that was for contempt of court of the live streaming over facebook of reports on an ongoing trial r.t. if these are it takes a closer look at the new facebook policy. so this channel four documentary dispatches sends an undercover reporter to work for c l now they're
7:22 am
a contractor for facebook and they provide a number of services including moderating content for the social media giant and that 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 the vowed that they will investigate we take these mistakes incredibly seriously and are grateful to the
7:23 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 the wall of the social media giants not just facebook but twitter and others they need to do more to police their sites better. now ever more white farmers in south africa are considering emigrating as cases of violence against them are on the rise some see this country of russia as a suitable place to resettle and make a fresh start. our

7:25 am
area and i know that the growth in agricultural production is immense in russia so i think it's the right time to buy in to agriculture russia and i think there is a lot of to ensure. the reason outcomes considering immigration is honestly because i see a dark cloud. over a future that the reality is that we do fear for our lives and the reality is that a white farmer is attacked every day and so there. my grandfather. was murdered on this forum the government has said they're responsible for creating the. claud. of and they're going there's a towards what. we
