capable of producing chemical weapons syria's u.n. envoy gives a warning about extremists in the country but russia's fear of a false flag attack is brushed aside in washington d.c. . another false flag attack is being pursued to try and do the anti terror operation in egypt you know because there's enough before when they try to put the blame they try to put the onus on other groups and we don't buy into that. france's president stirs outrage among the country's opposition figures after he calls his own citizens a french goals for resisting his economic reforms. with ten days and counting to the election in sweden anger flares at a rally for a swedish parliamentary candidate claims he was attacked by

a mind grit. and we need outspoken british rock star roger wallace waters who's currently on tour in russia he's got plenty to say about the world's biggest issues and where he gets his news. going you should do it you should district who clearly still to challenge me about how to you all to lose. just pure propaganda nothing but a tough to lunch with well it shows. you're watching r t international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned eleven pm welcome to the program. a crucial battle is looming in the last rebel stronghold in the syrian province of idlib the u.n. special envoy for syria says there are around ten thousand the illness or terrorists there and that the group is capable of producing chemical weapons

meanwhile russia's foreign minister has warned that a terrorist false flag attack is being prepared to sabotage the liberation of. they should in the middle of another false flag attack is being prepared to try and hinder the empty terror operation in a loop with the facts on the table through the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of defense we gave a clear and tough warning to our western partners not to play with fire but russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the preparations for a staged chemical attack are aimed at keeping al nasra a force in the region to be used as a counterbalance against the assad government but the u.s. is ignoring these warnings the state department says they just don't buy into it the russians are claiming now and this one another group stockpiling chemical weapons and planning an attack so you know i think that's more false flag reporting to i'm going to be this is enough for when they try to put the blame they try to

put the onus on other groups and we don't buy into that but still that comes as a surprise because the u.n. special envoy to syria says that the estimated ten thousand al nusra fighters in the area are indeed capable of utilizing chemical weapons the issue of avoiding the potential use of chemical weapons if indeed crucial and would be totally unacceptable we all are aware that both the government and have that cup ability to produce weaponized glory. and with regard to the syrian government's chemical weapon capabilities level of question how they could even exist at all citing the fact that the u.s. u.k. and france had overseen their destruction just last year and the syrian foreign minister also said that the west's aggression comes from dissatisfaction with the direction in which political tides are flowing in the country. and you see in the

u.s. the u.k. and france are not satisfied with developments on the ground therefore they make every possible attempt to impede progress in the political process in particular they are trying to protect on this are insurgents and they want the crisis in our country to continue all sides of the conflict are aware that this is a critical point in syria it's the last pocket of terrorist resistance and russia is warning that they will try to stage a chemical attack in a final attempt to gain support from the west and perhaps gain a foothold once more in the country damascus and moscow they've already put forward efforts towards peace but the islamic groups have made it abundantly clear they will not surrender and with a zero sum game mindset it's hard to see why the most hard line terrorists in syria use every tool at their disposal to change the tide of war former pentagon official michael maloof says a false flag attack in syria shouldn't be ruled out. the united states doesn't

believe that the rebels have that capability whereas there's tremendous documentation to show that they do have the capability they've probably been storing it for months if not years in the province and they have used it in the past they have that capability and it is a last ditch hold for them so it cannot be ruled out and it's not it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the u.s. is trying to get assad out they're going to continue trying and and even though donald trump wants to. get the u.s. out of syria there are elements within the u.s. government that don't want that to happen meanwhile the syrian foreign minister has revealed that the controversial group the white helmets has reportedly kidnapped forty four children damascus has suggested the youngsters might be used as part of

a possible false flag attack in italy moscow also believes the white helmets are assisting with a large supply of chemicals being moved to the area the white comets which calls itself a rescue group has been accused of having links to extremists something they've not political activists and outspoken british rock musician roger waters from pink floyd who has long been a vocal critic of the white house let's share his thoughts with r.t. he's currently in russia on tour and spoke at length to sophie shevardnadze. if there is a grassroots body called the way home ads of volunteers. separate for the people who actually started in istanbul it was that it didn't start syria was started by an english it soldier. inestimable but if that body exists. and they and they go and help people. in

a saddle the russians or somebody else has dropped bob's of them then i support them whole heartedly with every fiber of my being. put all the evidence points to the fact that that is not the reality i don't know if you did you did you see the the documentary that won the oscar. i mean have you ever seen anything so obviously scripted and carefully shot. now facebook and google and you choose but whatever the way that most people get their news and they use those. social media you know or in order to educate themselves or find out what's going on nothing but it's being

it is being the content is being censored by the corporations that own it. so it so so it it won't be free and it's not free now but it's and they're very are targeting i wouldn't be surprised if i disappear because i'm anti war. when i was making this this record i just made this is the life we really want. the guy who's producing the work of producing this radical with me started telling me about how far to the how or to use. just pure propaganda nothing but a pack of lies while i worked churchy so i've seen those you can see a documentary about fracking on american television because they weren't interested in it and telling you anything about anything the full interview with roger waters

will be shown on sophie and co on september the seventh only here on r.t. . the president of france has described some of his own citizens as being stuck in the past and backward manual mccrone said so-called french goals were preventing positive change or praising the danish economic model on a visit to copenhagen to support. these looser and people who have lived through the transformations of recent years not exactly who are resistant to change the world those comments by president mike one of the not gone down well here in france with opposition politicians from across the political spectrum telling him exactly what they thought saying that he was showing contempt for the french people and they took to twitter to show their angry reaction as usual he despises the french from abroad the girls will be happy to respond to his arrogance and contempt. the contempt for mccraw for the french is unbearable and reveals his disconnect with

the people of france we are in twenty eighteen a d. there are many on yielding goals who are attached to social progress who still fight against regression it is inadmissible to hear the president of the republican caricature and despise the french from abroad while many french everyday citizens also felt the hum from those comments from president michael unhappy that yet again while he's abroad he's chosen a venue outside forces to criticize what he sees as being the french resistance to his record but what many people thought as being a jibe of contempt for the french people let's not how president might console it in a press conference on thursday he defended his comments saying that he told the truth and he said that while people in france don't like permanent adjustments we are country when in serious moments of our history we can be transformed to present my own had been praising in denmark the danish system which means it is easier to fire

people from a job and it also means people that quit their jobs can have the social security as a bit of a buoyancy eight and those are things that he says that he wants to emulate a in france with his reforms were forms which over the last year and a half have seen roof resistance over and over with many protests of people coming out to the streets to say they don't want my calls for foreigners to proceed. was. yet again president micronor has provoked fierce street. action with his comments while he's made them abroad many people just can't simply believe the goal of the

president's. stunning revelations have surfaced regarding the mysterious murder of three russian journalists in the central african republic the reporters were investigating possible links between the kremlin and private military companies operating in the country they were found dead and a bullet ridden car investigation was sponsored by a russian tycoon and known critic of president putin order this has led to some speculation in the mainstream media that the murder could have been politically motivated and what are called ski himself never shied away from doubling down on those claims do you have any reason to believe that these men were killed because of the work they were doing. in the book yes i think exactly that you. however screenshots of text messages between the team organizing the trip have surfaced in the russian media shedding new light on what could have led to the

tragedy and it's prompted what of course to hold his support for the outlet that killed journalists while working for our good joins me live in the studio with more now if you know what was in the tax the group chat featured the three members of the curve and also their boss back at the q. plus a couple of producers at this point the screen shots cannot shed light on what exactly happened on that tragic day and the probe is of course far from being over but the screen shots allow us to trace the preparations that were actually being undertaken for working in one of the most dangerous countries in africa and also the crew and their h.q. people kept using that very same group chat as their means of communication when the trip began and just have a look at some of these elements of the preparations we've

got a pretty small press cards in english and also a u.n. sign for the car. make sure you film how you get rid of the press cards do it in a creative way and with commentry. so apparently according to these messages from their h.q. faking un credentials was part of the plan yes and by the way the group and the outlands patron mikhail khodorkovsky who you mentioned later claimed that they were working in the central african republic and coordination with the united nations later the u.n. admitted that they knew nothing of it so the plan suggested using their freshly printed press cards at one stage of their travel and then getting rid of them or even burning them at a different stage we cannot tell you what was the purpose of that they knew that they were breaking the law by entering the country on tourist visas as journalists

on duty without any accreditation and you might argue that the central african republic is mostly lawless land when given all that your logical assumption would be that they must have had to go to person on the ground then well first of all definitely a proper translator and also a carefully thought through plan but in reality what happened was that they didn't even have the fixers number he didn't show up at the airport and they were never able to get in touch and at the end of the day. basically there was no proper id tenor and so issues started piling up one after another and i just want to show you more parts of the messages that were sent by the crew in the group chat. guys we're in a bit of a logistical disaster the locals are just in adequate gadgets are absolutely alien

to them there's a feeling of total helplessness when it comes to language basically no one speaks english the journalist mission in the cia are obviously meant that they were supposed to sneak through some heavy security and that's what they were trying to do but here is what the cameraman sent to the group chad after one of their failed attempts to do that we couldn't get in they said it's only possible with a permit from the defense ministry plus two cops met us with all our equipment by the hotel we had to bribe them then we were stopped at the checkpoint and other bribe but a smaller one the locals the cameras as a negative unfriendly thing what kind of directions did their bosses give them then at that point well they were told to keep going the group was losing money on bribes and they didn't have any successful attempt to get in touch with their only

english speaking guide however when everything seemingly was going out of control messages from h.q. urged the group to stay on track. go there by yourself you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give about any permit we need a translator to find him when he's held from being been you it's impossible to storm into the security retore and i'm not sure we have to go to the ministry and be tough with the bribes next time what rules did you violate tell them you're going to go to the embassy except for a. this was their boss questioning their violations again i have to tell you that he was fired after the screenshots were published we are still i want to make it clear one more time we're still in the dark about what exactly happened on that tragic day but the group points to enormous security

issues that the crew definitely faced before their tragic death. thank you for breaking down that rather complicated story for us. a swedish parliamentary candidate has claimed he was attacked by a migrant during an alternative for sweden party rally in a town in the west of the country. very. few. people who. know for. a violent incident in the city all develop here in sweden at the meeting of the leadership of right wing turn into for sweden party with its vote the party of change it was sweden is famous for ideas that play many things neither is too ready

to maybe extreme for example they call on closing all the borders and on sending a significant number of immigrants from sweden back to the countries they came from although the connection was never established the confirmed by the authorities all believe we responded blames immigrants for high criminality rate in the country and since there were many people with foreign backgrounds in the crowd gathered there things started boiling quite fast people started first shouting and then throwing eggs to the party members and at one moment a youngster from the crowd attacked one of the leaders of alternative for sweden one of my colleagues from alternative for sweden being attacked by an immigrant youth who attended to meeting him with screaming and shouting all over the meeting i was attacked to the i tried to protect my friend and colleague and this immigrant starting hitting false in the face that a few eggs are cool when we left the scene they ran after and when we had to

stop you know the red line and the kick that the car. although as you just heard the party member referred to the attacker as an immigrant police has never confirmed that information when police arrived they took the attacker to a police car and they detained him but let the party member go and that's part discontent of the people gathered we have been able to speak to those who have gathered there on why they were not happy with the ideas spread by this alternative for sweden part of this what they told us we really seized almost streets still no street party saying they want to take down all the immigrants and the people east and happy they don't like as long as we can integrate them into swedish society may become they become a swedish says me because i'm also an immigrant from belgium. as long as they

become swedish and they work and they do normal swedish things it's absolutely no problem as long as they can keep their religion they can keep their culture but the should speak swedish and they should work. immigrants who. do not include it in. sweden is going to have general elections here in just ten days tensions are quite high ahead of the national vote that is described by many as a historic event because a ruling social democratic party the largest and the oldest party here in sweden according to polls could get worse through in the last one hundred years with right wing ideas and far right is getting more and more popularity. the president of the international olympic committee has admitted the war on doping in sport might never be won but thomas bach has come under fire for his comment

especially from america's anti-doping agency which claims bach has just given up artist alex takes a look at what this could all mean for the future of russian athletics. while the world of sports continues its fight against president of the international olympic committee president of the international olympic committee has made a very honest and a very sad admission but pink. who will always happen. who's. one of the walls you can order those words did not sit well with the chief of the u.s. anti-doping agency traver tygart so obviously a tough fight but the leader of iran i don't think can simply throwing it out he probably has a point especially since doping scandals have hit tiger's own turf just this week alone two u.s. athletes received lengthy bans for substance abuse that's while pundits blame anti-doping officials for turning a blind eye when it comes to domestic sport or rather multibillion businesses like

the n.f.l. but thomas back strong words weren't the trigger for your side of criticism tiger to assume that the i.o.c. presidents quote was essentially a precursor to water reinstating the russian anti-doping agency at that meeting scheduled for september twentieth but he did say that he hoped russia had learned its lesson the hard way and would be welcomed back into the world of sports and that was something tiger stressed must not happen would be a devastating blow to russia's me towards credibility as well as the hopes and dreams of millions around the world who believe in clean and fair competition russia and its anti-doping agency have been imprisoned for several years now after the publication of the so-called mclaren report which detailed accusations of a state sponsored doping program the result many russian athletes banned the country's anti-doping agency effectively shut down and water handing over a lengthy criteria list for ricin to be reinstated last year the agency

acknowledged that nineteen of thirty one points had been met and just this month the president of water said there were only two condition. remaining two off thirty one but they still had to be purified i think relationships to the point that we have yet to purify the two conditions that are still outstanding sure more needs to be done with new accusations and new anti-doping investigations russia still has three weeks to put things right so has tiger jumped the gun in demanding russia to be kept out the final two criteria we're talking about. russia is supposed to say hands up the mclaren report was right we did engage in state sponsored doping russia has absolutely rejected the mclaren reports finding not because they don't believe you russia's quite rightly said we want the evidence thomas bach himself as requested the evidence and so far nobody has city apart we presume for mclaren it

is only a guess at this stage but i think the first steps to a reinstatement will be taking place towards the end of september when there is a big meeting of water and i think the outcome will be that russia will be readmitted i think it will be an unconditional reinstatement but eventually on i think people will just have to say well ok russia are not admitting the been state sponsored doping but we need them anyway they are a world power in sports and sport needs russia keeping sports clean is something that both the i.o.c. president and ahead of us anti-doping agency are striving to achieve but can you really demand one thing from another country when similar dopping scandals break out in your own backyard one thing's for sure the next water meeting in the seychelles is looking like politics and doping will go down the finish line.

and i passed in protest in the us presented as a grassroots movement has now been revealed to be allegedly staged by an israeli lobby group a leaked extracts from an unreleased al-jazeera documentary is said to show people who were paid to take part in the demonstration we spoke to the investigative journalist who obtained the video here's what happened. if you happen to speak with any of our fighters just stay on message what is that message that's t.p. it's a secret you're going to know that all of the action is that he endorses. terrorism and. the protestors are on a fellowship program run by a conservative think tank called the things that you should just ignore the whole family and be out there these charities because of the suicide bombing at

a campus you have to stop searching the shit out of here knowing pollack is at the center of a neo conservative prone likud political network in washington that represents the right wing of the pro israel lobby he has collaborated with neo conservative think tank in washington and the hoover institution to basically pay fake protesters to make it look like people are coming out and protesting palis die and activity in washington my worst time here is. a photo of tea on a high together and we're just like early identifiable and i call or threaten traders or sold out to the jewish conspiracy for money because two thousand dollars plus benefits are a way of putting out a house like house for it so i don't this is out now is exactly what got us a pos yeah astroturfing is when corporations or political

movements basically pay for grassroots support this is what is so revealing about the israel lobby in america is that they basically pay for congressional support for their donations they even are willing to pay low level people to go out in the streets that make it look like common americans actually support the israel lobby has goals. when they really don't know it's just a very good. resistance child. killers case where they kill children they don't care about at any rate. i'm distressed to find that all investigation into america's pro israel libya may represent the most important test yet it's over al-jazeera is independent and whether our network still has space to thrive in midst the unjust blockade against auk atari how.

we've contacted all just to ask why the film was never broadcast we also approached the emergency committee for israel and the hoover institution for their reactions if we hear anything back well let you know that's our global news update for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media sites for up to the minute reports thanks for tuning out. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to express interest or some want. to go like. this is like a book for free the more people. i'm interested always in the why. question. i. think i was. just i don't hide oh i lost his boss because i misspoke but you got to give me just part of the media which was you know. let me put your money in my film of those in prison but the pessimist in tone are going to show you this when i mean what i thought i mean. you know if any of.
