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 brush aside in washington. another false flag attack is being pursued to try to hinder the energy terror operation in egypt you know because there's enough before when you try to put the blame they try to put the onus on other groups and we don't buy into that. also this hour france's president stirs outrage among the country's opposition figures after he calls his own citizens french calls for resisting his economic reforms. but. with ten days and counting to the general election in sweden anger flares at

a rally where a swedish parliamentary candidate claims he was attacked by a migrant. and we meet outspoken british rock star roger waters was currently on tour in russia he's got plenty to say about the world's biggest issues and where he gets his news. going but you should do it you should just read it still to chillingly about how to choose was. just pure propaganda nothing to close when i watch on t.v. . a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour for your global news update. 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 allness 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 it live. because she didn't know that. another false flag attack is being prepared to try and hinder the end 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 all western not to play with. 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 and this one another group stockpiling chemical weapons and planning an attack so you know and i think that's more false flag reporting to i'm going to be as a seen that before when you try to play 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 booking joe use of chemical weapons if indeed crucial and would be totally unacceptable we all are aware that both the government and have the capability 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 is 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 controversal 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 moscow also believes the white helmets are system with a large supply of chemicals being moved to the area the white helmets which calls itself a rescue group has been accused of having links to extremists something they deny political activists and outspoken british rock musician roger waters from pink floyd who has long been a vocal critic of the white helmets shared 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 it's a foreign to us. separate for the people who actually started to stumble it was it didn't start sooner it was started by an english ship soldier. in istanbul if that body exists. and they and they go and help people of.

the russians or somebody else was struck by observe them then i support them wholeheartedly with every fiber of my being. but 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 carefully shot 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 backwards emanuel mccrone said so-called french goals were preventing positive change or praising the danish economic model on a visit to copenhagen. discipline. these looser and people who have lived through

the transformations of recent years on not exactly goals who are resistant to change well those comments by president michael enough and 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 eight 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 republic 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 forwards to criticize what he sees as being the french resistance to his reforms but what many people thought as being a judge 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 a country when in serious moments of our history we can be transformed to present my coin had been praising in denmark the danish system which means that it's easier to fire people from a job and it also means people quit their jobs can have a social security as a bit of a buoyancy eight and those are things that he says that he wants to emulate hey 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 my corner has provoked fierce street. action with his comments while he's made them abroad many people just can't simply believe the cool of the president. 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. you.

are going to be. a violent incident in the city also develop here in sweden at the meeting of the leadership of rightwing turn into for sweden party with its vote party alternative for sweden is famous for ideas that so many consider is too ready to maybe extreme for example they call on closing all the border areas and on sending a significant number of immigrants from sweden back to the countries they came from although the connection was never established a confirmed by the authorities or police. blames immigrants for high criminality rate in the country since there were many people with foreign backgrounds in the crowd gathered their things started boiling quite fast people started first shouting in 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 you who attended to meeting him was. all over the meeting i was attacked i tried to protect my friend and colleague and this immigrant starting hitting false in the face also the eggs are cool when we left the scene they ran after. and when we had to stall you know the red light we kicked the car although as you just heard the party member referred to the attacker as an immigrant police has never confirmed that information and 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 turning to for sweden part of this what they told us we really see still no streets still no street party saying they want to take down all the immigrants and the people is unhappy they don't like as long as we can integrate into swedish society and they become they've become a swedish this 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 to shoot speak swedish and they should work. immigrants who. do not think you are going to. sweden is going to have general elections here in just ten days tensions are quite high ahead of the national 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 a worse through in the last one hundred years with right wing ideas and far right is getting more and more popularity. still to come a video of a young palestinian girl scaling an israeli built a fence in order to get home has gone viral that story and more after this short break. what holds us. to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or some want to. have to go right to be close this is what. three of the more people. interested in the waters it.

seems wrong. just don't all. get to shape out. active. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the german city of kemet testing

a fourth day of demonstrations against the country's migration policy up to twenty people were injured during the course of the week during cautious with anti folk hohner protesters participator all over has more. well thursday evening saw a small demonstration taking place just behind me here in the city of cam that the group calling themselves pro came that who've come out and said that they aren't happy with the current system now they were saying from the stage that was set up just behind me that there was a an anger certainly towards what they described as western media portray in them is right wing neo nazis they said they definitely weren't. to fit from the right wing or neo nazis what they wanted to say that they were was angry with the state officials here in saxony particularly the prime minister who they said there was a disgrace now this was

a very heavily policed small scale demonstration i don't think there was many more than two hundred fifty people there but there were certainly many more than that a uniform now horse as a whole for the german interior minister had pledged that he would be sending extra police to came it's to make sure that there wasn't a repeat of the violence that we saw on monday evening we've seen police vehicles with registrations from far and wide across germany here is reinforcements have been drafted in but this all came about following the tragic killing of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning in the city of camden it's now two men are in custody in connection with that killing a twenty two year old and a twenty three year old one from syria one from iraq now that prompted sparked a. violent rampage by far right football hooligans as well as other members of the fire on sunday which said we're looking for foreigners then we saw clashes on

monday evening in cannes that's between the between those people who are described as the far right and also from anti fascist demonstrators from the far left that was older than twenty people being injured two of those police officers thursday. evening no we come to what we've just seen behind me much karma much more organized and far better policed certainly not the violent scenes that we've seen so far but clearly people here are upset with the way they think their politicians in particular are paying attention to them when it comes to refugees and migrants and who has the right to be here and that's the way it looks from ken that's right now . the video of a young palestinian girl climbing an israeli security fence in the west bank has provoked outrage online now she was simply trying to get back to her house after the i.d.f. closed off her work home campaigners say this is happening all too frequently to palestinians are video agency ruptly had

a chance to speak to the girl. next to a checkpoint the day before yesterday the door was closed and i had to jump to france to get home they closed the door because stones were being thrown but they're still thrown stones. we spoke to the arrow from the hebron freedom fun who filmed the incident. there if the students from the neighborhood. a few minutes north of the school we have a go to school of the school only two or three minutes from neighborhood but. it makes them. walk around and sometimes climb. and climb fences. let's take

a closer look at where that incident unfolded it was in the southern part of the west bank and have old city israeli authorities put up a one hundred fifty meter long fence there which you can see here in blue palestinians living there have two ways to reach their homes the first is the main entry exit checkpoint of that fence and the second the gate you saw being scaled by the girl in the video we asked the i.d.f. why they felt closing off those routes was necessary and they replied it was for security reasons after an israeli man was stabbed to death in the area last here last thursday that specific gate was again locked for several hours israel claims it was for repairs after palestinian sabotage that the i.d.f. also stressed residents were still able to pass through the main security checkpoint it's not the first time the gate has been a flashpoint back in may israeli forces kept at close for six days as a punishment for stone throwing as they put it.

but. i was angry and. that. is against us palestinian families are facing segregation and inequality in their daily lives because of the barrier. the phones you know i salute the neighborhood seventy seven families from the other schools from the. from the universities from the other neighbors we called and they are all . equal at all because that road is only for students from the main street is the jewish. they walk on the i mean. living they will go on the side of the road you know we have twenty two checkpoints one

hundred movement in one kilometer square in the city center. 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 in a bullet ridden car the investigation was sponsored by a russian tycoon and known critic of president putin. this has led to some speculation in the mainstream media that the murder could have been politically motivated and how to coax 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 the your political. yes i think exactly that you however screen shops 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 harder to hold his support for the outlet the killed journalists were working for earlier i discussed the messages with. the group chat featured the three members of the curve and also their boss back at the h.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 their plan yes and by the way the group later claimed that they were working in the central african republic in coordination with the united nations however eventually the un said that they knew nothing of it so again the plan suggested that the group could use their freshly printed press cards at one stage of the travel and then burn them out another we don't know the purpose of that well they knew that they were about to break the law by entering the country on tourist visas but as a journalist on active duty without any accreditation you might argue that most of

the central african republic is lawless land so your logical assumption would be that they must have had a go to person on the ground then definitely a proper translator and for sure a carefully thought through plan and reality though when they arrived in the country they didn't even have the phone number of their fixer he didn't show up at the airport and they were never able to get in touch with the men at the end of the day they didn't have a proper i'd temporary and so issues started piling up one after another upon arrival and here's some of the other parts of the messages that the crew sent in the group chat guys were 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 journalists mission and the ca are obviously meant that they were

supposed to sneak through some heavy security and have a look at what the cameraman texted and the group chat after one of their failed attempts to do just 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 a checkpoint and other bribe but a smaller one the locals the cameras as a negative unfriendly thing and what kind of directions did their bosses give them at that point they were told to keep going the group was losing money on bribes they were never even able to get and touch with their all the anglers speaking guide however when everything seemingly went out of control messages from age you kept urging them to stay on track to go there by a so if you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give

a about any permit we need to translator to find him when he's held from being with 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 this was their boss questioning their violations by the way he resigned after the screen shots were published again we are in the dark about the exact events of the end of last month but this group chat clearly points at the fact that there were real security issues that the crew was facing before their tragic death. now to global news update for now wherever you may be thanks for tuning in.

welcome to the alex salmond shield from barcelona and now on the railways london commuters on the plus side but us of the side these things would be uniting in solidarity with one of the most militant trade unions in the country they have had enough of high fares nightmare of germany's trade so overplayed that even the leader for majesty's opposition can't get a seat from loved on money they're united in one cry of back to the future at a time to public ownership of the railways take a look at these dramatic figures from a recent opinion poll public ownership is backed by more than three to one among the general public but even among what used to be the boat hotted brigade of the b.b.c.'s support for nationalisation a very clear majority become the unlikely alliance of london commuters and trade
