to raise awareness in his country we have an exclusive chat with. a pretty good. thanks for joining us here live on our to international five pm here in moscow welcome to the program. the u.k. security minister has slammed media reports that police have identified those behind the poisoning of the script informed wild speculation on thursday the press association news agency citing their source close to the probe claim the perpetrators have been found. the media. police investigating this particular incident back in march believe that they do have the identity of two suspects press association says police believe they have identified those who
10:02 am
carried out the novel chocolate sark in salzburg police in britain are reported to have identified several people they believe were behind the nerve agent attack on the former russian spies paul and his daughter yulia the media frenzy was sparked by just one tweet from a news agency cited a source claiming u.k. police have identified the suspect behind the screwball poisoning as more a source with knowledge of the probe told press association investigators believe they have a dent to fight the suspected perpetrators behind the novacek attack on the script . well this is all allegedly come from a source close to the police investigation into the original attack against the script powells back in march and this source has spoken to the press association they're the ones reporting it and they've said that investigators are apparently closing in on the suspected perpetrators of the attack and the police have
10:03 am
allegedly been looking at c.c.t.v. footage and they've been examining it and also looking at records of people who had entered and left the country around the time of the attack against the script files in march because the bomb shell really in all these reports is that these suspects are allegedly russian it is important to note that these are unconfirmed reports as yet so far it's just come from this one article by the press association but it's done the rounds and it's pretty big headline news here in the u.k. even though we haven't had any updates from the police or the oath or a tease in regards to the investigation that hasn't stopped the press speculation though just to give you an example the sun newspaper has elaborated on the story saying that scotland yard apparently believes that it was a two man hit team that carried out the attack on the script files and that they did it on the orders of the kremlin and furthermore that the pair are thought to
10:04 am
have left the u.k. for russia the morning after the attack and to quote the newspaper there thought to be under the protection of president vladimir putin so that's the source of reports that are in the press here right now. has consistently denied any claims of wrongdoing even though the british government pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin in the days after the attack saying that it's highly likely that russia or did the poisoning and now following these new unconfirmed reports the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander yack event has already responded take a listen. russia wants to hued names of those accused of poisoning the scruples from the authorities for now there are only media reports and in a way there you can see the russian diplomat really upping the ante saying well go on then give us these names if you're going to make these allegations we want to
10:05 am
see evidence of it and we've just got a line from the russian foreign ministry as well they've said that if the u.k. keeps these alleged russian suspects classified if this case becomes secret well then moscow will regard it as a cover up of the perpetrators so there's clearly a sense of increasing frustration here i would say from the russian side that the british media can sort of go on making these allegations almost indefinitely without a shred of evidence from the or thora season without any official statements from the police investigation to back it up. a u.s. court has refused to russian citizen maria after she pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to act as a criminal agent earlier prosecutors released court papers on the case documents claim butanol was in contact with russian intelligence officials and that's your

food sucks in exchange for a job at a u.s. special interest 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. 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
10:07 am
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 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 foreign agent lobbyist. french president about all my callers on the massive pressure after his aide was caught beating up a student at a protest the incident took place at an anti government rally back in may. well a shocking video that shocked many people in france what you see on not video is alexander have been first of all he is grabbing a woman and charging her down the street he passes the camera that still mean him and then a little bit later we see him once again this time he emerges next to a male protester and what is clearly seen is him wrapping up male protesters neck

10:10 am
colleague usurps police insignia and hits a man to the ground you can't want an exemplary republic and let people think that they can be double standards one justice for french citizens and one for presidential workers. if we accept that anyone can pretend to be a police officer we no longer live under state rule of law well who is alexander but what we know about him is that he has been politically active since his twenty's now he was a security aide to some of france's previous ministers but he joined the mark on presidential campaign back in two thousand and sixteen he is an aide to my chief of staff and he is normally the person in charge of security arrangements and such he's often seen with the president might call active vents just a few meters away it's plenty of video plenty of video of the two together this is a man who really has the president right next to him almost all the time that he's
10:11 am
on official duties now this is the official statement that these a palace has made this morning in regards to the situation he has been suspended for fifteen days without pay he has been relieved of his functions regarding the organization of security for the president's movements this sanction is punishment for unacceptable behavior and constitutes a final warning it is the most serious punishment ever administered to an aide working at the. well an investigation has been opened by the public prosecutor here in paris they are looking at a number of aspects which could lead to formal charges they are violence by a public official illegal use of a police insignia because he was wearing a police insignia at one point during that may day protests and also pretending to be a police officer now that charge alone if it's made him if he's found guilty carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and a fifteen thousand euro fine. i mean while the french president seems to be dodging
10:12 am
a response on the growing scandal of brushing off any damage done by the. president . of the viral video this is america has been parodied before of iraqi descent we spoke to the man behind this is iraq. this is a. guy just like this is a red. skull with no. body shown no play by people when nelson barrels and barrels. barrels and barrels. in the demolished delivered to mission accomplished. i think there's a fuel source issue between america and iraq given that the us led invasion of iraq is a major contributing factor to where we are today i think it was just sort of the perfect
10:13 am
draw for this trip to be on the back of a bummer when the united states a vector a back seat to iraq well it's agreed to do the movie over a little something and i feel like we can be pretty good and. in the truck itself and just raising awareness my thing that's important i've had people come up to me and tell me and thank me for abusing awareness and getting you know getting the more familiar with the subject that they weren't so clear with because they were too young at the time when the when the invasion happens of this trick in just that one person in a positive manner and sort of get along in that conversation going there and sort of it's achieved at school and i'm vindicated and releasing the. russian defense ministry has unveiled video of its new generation weapons in action some of the world's most powerful all of it so now operational in the russian military what i guess if takes
10:14 am
a closer look. when putin announced this new arsenal it came out of nowhere seemed like side 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 and deafening tries to shoot it down it dodges to maneuvering flying in an unpredictable trajectory weld first by the way the u.s. plans to test its own analog next year. saddam out this is the over killed 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
10:15 am
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 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. brevets nick
10:16 am
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 i've always been a cool science fiction gimmick but they never really got doing the science and technical requirements with too great until now it seems it is yet named after 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 jet to shell for example other than that not much known yet.
10:17 am
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 a return to military equality status quo a return to balance. critics want to new israeli nation state law turns the country's arabs into second class citizens we'll tell you why after this short break.
10:18 am
with you're. even here in the week even your did leave us with is a good idea i think a lot of americans understand the bridge the ways in which. to communicate. where their military operations are in syria or even about the baltics . as they do they make a good team but you're misunderstanding. you could be in
10:19 am
a catastrophic war which would be crazy for russia would be crazy you're. welcome back to the program israeli parliament has passed a contentious bill that defines the country as the nation state of the jewish people critics are saying it diminishes the status of the country's arabs. looks into the story. but it effectively does is it enshrined in the israel basic law the concept that israel is the historic homeland of the jewish people and they have exclusive right to national self-determination now supporters say that it equates jewish values with democratic values and puts them on an equal footing but critics and there are many say that it effectively discriminates against the country's arab population who make up some twenty percent and other minorities now you have for
10:20 am
example now in law the fact that hebrew is the official language of the country arabic is given the status of special status and has effectively been downgraded there were hours of debate in the israeli knesset the israeli parliament prior to this contentious nation state being passed into law a particularly content part of the ball is the whole idea of israeli or jewish settlements now there was a lot of debate about this in the past it was changed because the charge was put forward that it promotes secret geisha and but even with the change critics complain because now for example they say it promotes jewish settlements it caused so much anger in the parliament that arab members of parliament actually ripped the bill to shreds. this is an evil law a black flag hovers over it this is a law over which harbors a black flag. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that this is a pivotal moment in the history of zionism and israel. this is
10:21 am
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 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 it has seen a number of rewrites and parallel proposals the countries. my minister netanyahu has always supported it and for years he has evolved and eventually it will be pasta in tamil and that's what's happening now with a lot of reaction. we spoke about a. new jerusalem center for public affairs he said the law is not discriminatory the shift in status merely allows israel to in shrine in the law that hebrew is the official language of the state arabic is
10:22 am
a language with special status meaning any kind of institution organization association will continue to have arabic as a special language and the islam as a culture the muslim religion as a religion as well as the arab national status of israel's arab minority will be preserved one hundred percent the only difference here is that the government and the knesset wanted to underscore the importance of having a jewish emblem as the official emblem a jewish the jewish language of thirty seven hundred years which is hebrew as the official language jewish holidays is the official holidays just like scores of other countries around the world it is absolutely not discriminatory whatsoever. rising numbers of white farmers in south africa are considering emigrating as cases of. rise home some seeing russia will place to resettle make
