but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular and their future is but it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured 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 neither the deists analysis nor the o.p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and now we're left with this highly likely stance from the u.k. and the u.s. is issuing this fresh round of sanctions but we haven't seen any new information come to light here in the sanctions that thought's be imposed on or around august the twenty second in the meantime the u.k. prime minister's office has the new batch of u.s. sanctions on russia the russian embassy saying it only wants transparency it still

asks can we please to be a part of this investigation by the russian embassy calling it these sanctions describing them as draconian measures. a saudi air strike has killed forty civilians in yemen most of them children according to local sources more than seventy others were reportedly wounded the strike hit a school bus and a marketplace now a bit of a warning you may find the following images upsetting according to the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight other people were injured including thirty children the strike hit the north of the country which is under the control of the rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against them back in two thousand and fifteen in an official statement riyadh defended the attack accusing the rebels of using children as human shields. the targeting today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international

humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them or the school bus bombing has been met with outrage in the united states senator chris murphy tweeted that the u.s. bears responsibility for these deaths and he pointed out that the u.s. supplies weapons to saudi arabia along with military intelligence now the u.s. is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis the u.s. also provides targeting assistance for air strikes in the military training last year saudi arabia spent seven hundred fifty million dollars on training by american specialists to reduce civilian casualties and earlier this week the state department defended saudi arabia's actions in yemen. we should ask another country to stop attacking other nations and to stop fomenting terror that's one of the things that the united states government does how do you square that with the stance of saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

as well as i do you don't see i'm sorry what do you mean by you're saying that you don't have any problem telling the country how to get more involved getty yet but you're you're siding with saudi and yet. we have concerns about what the who the rebels have been doing for quite some time that is well documented they have been terrible and conducted many many attacks against their own sins against the people of yemen saudi arabia certainly has a right to try to and to take out some of those bad actors that something does something that they have a right to do and we support that and i would have to wrap it up i notice that you seem tongue tied about it though you would state department spokesman she didn't she didn't like the fact that the questioner was asking her about what was going on in yemen we know the u.s. a selling the weapons we know the u.s. is providing targeting data so it's horrendous and i would say the u.s. bears absolutely direct responsibility for this it's telling the saudis what to do

it's telling the probably the u.a.e. what to do certainly the saudis it's a horrible bloody business and it's a war that's gotten virtually no attention in the u.s. . the school bus bombing is the latest in a series of tragedies in yemen a week ago we did a seaport was hit by an airstrike fifty five civilians were killed and one hundred seventy wounded. who day but from the red cross in sanaa told us that the situation in yemen is appalling. we have received twenty nine identified these are children up to fourteen years old and forty to forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall top. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the whole system is

decimated the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so really two things. more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's nice to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than a week so for us this is painful and whenever restricted in casualties we i mean. this is just horrific. the tunnel used by the harvests in syria has been turned into

a monument dedicated to those who helped to defeat the terrorists local artists carved out sculptures on the walls of the former hideout. only. you know can can reach. you. are you watching out international mourners after a short break stay with us. i .

will come back this is r t international now facebook may have closer ties to washington than previously thought is now emerged the social media giant is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and nato when it comes to tracking foreign influence or to go comments. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his team in front of a horde of suits go and sort these russian bots out sort out the fakes sort them out or did i just paint a good picture of the reality web giants of been facing lately in the past election you. we've seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images that can be attributed or associated with the russian company lack of

resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort the likes of zogby could have proudly said we're just a platform where independent and sorting out what you call fakes is none of our business but when wall street alarm bells are ringing you know how it can happen with the stocks it could be better to zip it and focus on an intense year. see if we stick to be the tough year began with. news feed algorithm the trick was to boost posts with let's say pics of your friends cat and sideline all that politics related media stuff haha they say this lead to less views likes and comments under donald trump's posts move it on facebook has evolved from policing offensive content to policing news views ideas it can be anything apart from your friend's cat if people flag them as potential hoaxes we send those

to fact checkers and if those fuckers say that that is provably false then we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content but if you want to just say get off our platform well look as a porn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still prevailed ok and now. it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys' h.q. got it at the end of the day facebook's not so happy with that online policeman's hat so zuck and co are outsourcing the digital share locke's i'm being serious that's what they call themselves who are let me check where they come from. linked in with their help thirty two suspicious pages have already been sorted out the big

ship is not turned around overnight. but i think that the have now given some opportunity to work with them and i hope that in the months when we have at least three other platforms in that we will see. a willingness to collaborate with us to come up with the solution bravo and it's not just facebook doing just as great one question though since already most americans head to social media to get their news when will freedom of speech ring a bell. the search for a missing child in the u.s. has led to a grim discovery three year old abdul ghani disappeared last december in the state of georgia and last week the search lead to a remote compound in mexico. yesterday

at eleven nineteen he did finally. overly. me or. any of. the. i'm going to even listen to this in court i mean look you in the form. or let's not cross a lot to jennifer brydon who is an anti terror expert and it legal analyst jennifer as always glad to have you with us here on r t international. so according to court

documents these children were being trained to carry out a school shootings how much of a threat would this have actually posed if the compound had not been discovered. it would have posed a huge threat unfortunately it still continues to pose a threat this is a group that i've studied for quite some time this compound in particular the fact that this young boy was linked to georgia it actually is a tie to a group called the model who has compounds throughout the united states at least thirty that u.s. government officials know of this isn't some conspiracy it's not me talking this is actually me having conversations with f.b.i. d.o.j. officials and actually local law enforcement that under the previous administration tried tried to investigate these groups tried best to get what was going on and were actually shut down by federal government sources from doing that just based on religion so it's a it's a group that contains women and children families within these specific private compounds within that group is a militant faction called the soldiers of allah i've seen over

a thousand pages of government documentation united states government documentation that they've known about this for quite some time but the most of bismo part of this is how women and children are kept how they're treated women being found having been chained up children being trained almost militant like without electricity running water and other kinds of plumbing things like that so it is it continues to be a threat especially if the rest of these compounds aren't looked into because there are more than just the new mexico compound actually compound in colorado was raided back in the one nine hundred ninety s. jennifer i want to touch on something that you kind of touched on just a second ago about this has been known in the united states for quite some time so according to prosecutors the ringleader was. who officially have called a coconspirator in the one nine hundred ninety three world trade center bombing. such a long time the u.s. wisest man still a large. because of really faulty u.s. policies let's be real here sean i mean one of the biggest problems that we've had

in the united states is this doctrine of not offending anybody and allowing other things to gum and such that we changed our training manuals even for local law enforcement from studying radical islam to countering extremist violence so we're not even allowed to train local law enforcement on what radical islam studies and what's funny is that i have been to the middle east i go to the middle east quite often i work with people who counter this who are muslims and they call it radical islam but we are so afraid in the u.s. so terrified of doing anything there's so much political correctness and because of that we've not only put our country in danger but i think more importantly think of the women and children this young boy who was found this these lives that could have been saved if we had just called it what it was and investigated claims that we've gotten from local law enforcement in fact i talked to one local law enforcement officer who had ties to the new mexico compound he actually helped investigate the colorado compound and saw how horribly the women and children are being treated and nothing was able to be done about it on the federal level i think

that's the bigger problem is that we have really paralyzed our own federal domestic authorities in the u.s. from understanding this kind of threat understanding the threat it poses to people that are within it especially his origin for britain always interesting to hear your thoughts anti terror expert and legal analyst right here on our two international or you're watching or to international backstop the always more news stay with us.

the city in this way incapable of defending themselves on their own against the will to train georgian army people died in skin. the peacekeepers were surrounded and couldn't help. russia looms the operational force in georgia to peace the military were fighting their way through to relieve. georgian president mikheil saakashvili claimed russia had to tank georgia my country soon self-defense against russian aggression russian russian troops invaded georgia they've been bombing georgia numerous warplanes and specifically targeting civilian population and did you take a gamble your government launched its own attempt to retake so sasha we didn't it. we didn't. the morning of the eighth my wife calls me and says that they bombed

a couple hundred meters away from her mother's house i remember. i was actually crying and afraid and thinking that if anything happens to my family i'm going to kill saakashvili. and i meant that we met jim is just ten years ago he's an american who lives in florida his wife john is the sense in all those two thousand and eight she and her daughter were on holiday at his parents' place in south ossetia so since it's got nothing this is in southeast given us the family good day that lotion on just the rest of the bullet actually it would probably be enough if they shift the layers. they're not going to show. you that he said unless i shake. so i surely said russia georgia. later you find out through the european commission

that in fact it was georgia that a terror cell just said to you it was not i hear the mainstream media they reported that russia started the conflict and said nothing to. surely opening fire on the night of the beginning of the olympics in beijing i talked to many people i've posted many things on the internet letting people know the truth about what really happened now is. very careful strains if i'm laughing at the council and rain too much and in my own crappy blue dragon maybe it's scarce. and our much of it but i know that i wouldn't want to sleep alone there's just one window in my room they sleep in there is like a crack in them but i would i would remember oh that's from the war center was afraid she was saying she was afraid that surely it was going to be there.
