few of the stories british authorities. carried out the. major. events. of the potential chemical attack and serious. security council. suggests there's been a surge in support for right wing parties in the country. there

is just one of. the biggest stories as covered right here over the past seven days want it back to wednesday first when british authorities released photos of two men they claim are responsible for the poisoning of russian agents. the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers acting on direct orders from moscow. british media outlets were quick to seize on much lames accepting the authorities

version with headlines branding the two men as putin's smiling assassins says there are major inconsistencies in britain's version of events as mike as the now explains. we're sure but we are sure it's safe now but don't touch anything we're sure they're russian but we don't know who they are contradictions everywhere based on a body of intelligence the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and c.p.s. are officers from the russian military intelligence service. also known as the g.r.u. just check out so you can. go and you know just whether they are actually serving officers in russian intelligence agencies we have significant lines of inquiry about who don't meet when we will people to come forward and give us the evidence you'd think they would have to know who these two suspects are before accusing them

of being russian military intelligence agents but no instead they're asking the public for help to identify these two men who to raise it may already seems to know this was not a row operation it was almost certainly also approved outside the g.r.u. a senior level of the russian state would be real easy if they just called up the russians and ask them with passport numbers and everything but they are speaking to i can confirm that we have had no cooperation from the russian government on the other hand how do you complain that someone isn't being helpful when you refuse to pick up the phone you know it wouldn't be. the british and boy said that the u.k. site will not present any materials london also refused to present any other information about the case passport numbers patronymics data from the reserve

cation and so on we understand that they will be transmitted by interpol so here we are the british refusing to so. much as acknowledge the russians and moscow and refusing to budge until the brits respond to certain questions look the russians have asked for fingerprints harmless rights of the two suspects the british say they'll hand over nothing and then complain that the russians are being held for contradictions by the meticulous and painstaking searches and although unlikely it is impossible to guarantee that there are no other materials present at the source for you know all the experts advise that the evidence to date does not suggest any long term health risk from short term or one off contact with low levels of this agent so which is it might be a tad confusing for the locals in salisbury everything's fine and save but it isn't

so we don't pick anything up and keep an eye out is that over or not and then of course there's the huge gaps in the investigation we don't know where the suspects disposed of the ritual that they used to attack this cripples front door. and charlie got the bottle that poisoned them or is it if it is the same bottle that has been used in both poisonings they don't seem to know what happened to the container for months and months and now asking the public for help to identify these suspects who they've already identified as secret agents of the discipline g.r.u. and to explain what happened to the nerve agent container which the said discipline secret agents just seem to throw away for ease of identification doesn't seem very professional one of the deadliest substances known to man ended up in a charity bin sudden way after six months we're told this is how the poison came

into the country in a powerful bottle why could we not been told that before why was not put out no work to stop these two people. picking up a perfect bottle with a poison in it one of them dying as a consequence why are we not being told why have we not been told the full extent of what the danger might be in seoul is really not still not been resolved the poor people there are still suffering so as i say i think there's a lot of questioning a lot of suspicion about this in britain these two people live are russian intelligence officers are more austin powers than james bond two killers traveling on the same airplane from moscow and then back to moscow leaving in a skip or charity skip a perfume bottle fool of an agent with a russian name having tried to kill two russians with it if you set out deliberately to set up russia for this crime that's precisely what you would do

someone trying to blame russia could not have done a better job than this good day the head of britain's counter terrorism scored neil basle in his press conference when asked do you have any evidence of russian state involvement in this crime he answered with one more no and to top all that all of the british insisted could only have been the russians first they said that the new russian manufactured nuvi chalks and then that fell through the russians pointed out a dozen other countries capable of doing so czech republic admitted they had synthesize small quantities for defense britain's own chemical lab porton down admitted it had michael stockpiles contradictions everywhere. voting is under way in sweden and a general election that could rock the political landscape that the head of sunday's vote poll suggested that the swedish democrats party was gaining traction

with pre-election campaigning largely dominated by immigration on saturday the prime minister and center right party leaders lashed out of there and the immigration election rivals. he says you know nazis does great again and again and again they showed the nats and racists roots and they're trying to destroy the time when we need that corporation the most new in the in the foster today it is not working class children who are not allowed to go to school now it is a lot of children of immigrants now we can choose if they will be given the same chance as other children he must attack us did multiply we must fight against the population both the left wing populist and the right wing populists this is an election about values have a series sweden's been fundamentally challenged and left party is growing in the swedish democrats a growing. reformation of travel to so-called vulnerable areas in sweden where some of linking immigration to a spike in crime. fifty hunger in sweden in the country has skyrocketed

a spike in shootings this year already violent crime has moved right up the least of issues swedish poverty supplanting to tackle the head of the general election we went to two cities making some of the worst criminal headlines. model in southern sweden has been saying to many volunteer tax earlier this summer there was a drive by shooting here across this cybercafe you can still see the marks on the bullets three people have been killed and three others seriously injured interesting that police station is just walk away from here. people who were the victims were targeted because of who they are we know that they are heavily involved in criminal activities this is. usually something to do with the narcotics and different types of heavy crime the

trade continues and police many details between such incidents happen in vulnerable areas like this the question on everyone's mind seems are they from sweden yes so you do not think it is in france that people tend to blame all the time you know to rain well. it's hard to say that it's a lot of people are second or third generation immigrants in our statistics we don't take in ethnicity as well you can say that at least ninety percent of the people who are suspects are victims of these types of crimes are young men young male and they're usually from families that may not be highly educated chrome from usually rather poor circumstances as well.

arson and riots dominated the summer's news in gothenburg divisions there are also high and very visible. and fifty minute trend treat just from one part of the city to another exposes both the top of the social pyramid and the bottom. studies almost always show crime rate is linked to welfare one professor admits we ask what many want to know are immigrants responsible you can present in the found ways you can present the dot. com presented a socio economic problem you're presented very subdued problem i mean your truth in that the way of choosing. also there is a political money for stage and that's a way of marginalizing stereotype by saying you know it's all a way of saying that people are not from europe or more primitive so all i mean all

these come into the politics professor is referring to the sweden democrats the rightwing party for its best result in years and it's immigrants who burn cars who rapes murders who cause huge amount of money that affects all of the areas in the swedish society that's the real problem. stina holmberg works at the national crime prevention council whose job is to make sure crime policy is knowledge based politicians and media use their data to show immigrants are to blame but stina warns they are often taken out of context most overrepresentation by immigrants disappear if you. add the. they are socially deprived we have reporting from one thousand nine hundred two

thousand and five that established that people from middle east africa are grossly over a percentage i want to comes to violent crimes for instance yes those gang shootings it's a lot of second generation young men but if you see. fairfax and assaults and these kinds of crimes we don't see an increase just recently an investigative program on nationalists which television also confirmed immigrants and rapes for instance it might be easier to report. a perpetrator who is an immigrant or in other way is socially deprived to you can try this all this integration stuff has been that i've been trying for thirty forty years and it's totally useless the only real. thing to solve the problem is to make the move it has become a strong political issue and there is a new political arena sweden with the right wing parties we've been attacked by

left wingers and immigrants in this election campaign i mean i seen some reports on . if there's going to be increased turbulence after we win on lighter september that's on them not us. this weekend democrats are closing in fast on the ruling social democrats whether they are right or wrong the anti immigrant party is convincing people that the security situation is critical. to blame and they had the answer on sunday voters may just give them a chance to show it. r.t. sweden. accusations fly as the battle looms for syria's last terrorist stronghold the details after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan duties. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome back the conflict in syria has been in the spotlight this week with the final battle for looming large the northwestern province is thought to be the last to terrorist stronghold in the war weary country the u.s. didn't use any chemical weapons that allowed the use of any chemical weapons for the last stronghold of these terrorist organizations i mean they all that the. syrian army and the russian army were able to control most of the syrian territories. the chinese president pledged billions of dollars in infrastructure aid to african nations but the office left some western countries with a sour taste calling it

a death trap holkins has the details. this railway to. this road and. dr power station in ghana have been built with chinese money. beijing has channeled one hundred thirty six billion dollars into the african continent over the last seventeen years and there's more to come china's president has pledged sixty billion dollars in extra funding for similar enterprises when we . join and africa will join hands to build the china africa community with shared future that features win win cooperation happiness for all and harmonious coexistence. for some african countries these are the largest infrastructure projects in years but some see something completely different a debt trap vanity projects new colonialism more of africa finds itself in

china's debt china saddling the partner countries with crippling debts saddling africa with unsustainable debt why the sudden concern well the china africa summit comes at a time of fierce competition between western powers and beijing angela merkel and to reason may have just finished their tours of the conference merkel german c.e.o.'s in tow was on a mission more investment more jobs to discourage migration the result folks are going to and outsing expansions in operations in garner and nigeria to resume a wasn't far behind new trade deals direct government investments and tell ting u.k. business to and aside from trying to charm the leaders with viral darts skills may even hinted who it is she's trying to outbid on her africa visit our we cannot compete with the economic might of some foreign governments investing in africa but

we can offer is long term investment of the very highest quality and breath and even the same as funds why those provided by western countries the pie rather was provided by china become the trap is this not a flagrant double standard and so on has been used moment is understandable to investors two sets of rules but what do african leaders make of the new partnerships africa. is not is zero sum game. our growing ties with china. and no one explains. it if you believe you you come on you're a loser taking hold in our future. and i want to talk to us would have us believe investment boost market support bolstered economic relationships those words

describe western involvement in africa that colonialism is the buzz word when it's the chinese it seems the former calise us getting a bit nervous and the reason why african leaders don't see china as a new call izing power is that beijing doesn't bother with meddling in african politics china and africa has been a symbiotic relationship the chinese have been quite savvy very clever they've made sure that they don't interfere in afghan politics which has been their trade all along they don't involve themselves in any form of political cycles it's purely what can we give you what can we get out of it how can we both mutually benefit outside of what the political circles are it with the west it's a carrot and stick approach you're either playing ball with get the financing usually bad rates and in return they determine how well or how fast your economy should grow they would determine what opportunities come your way and so are the carrot and stick approach with the west has used on africa has backfired africans

and saying we would rather deal with china than the west. and that's the weekly for now kevin i would have your next update in just over half an hour after we focused on the battle for ad lib in syria and worlds apart on r.t. . what holds. to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close this is what the four three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of how the. question of.

my body told me that our belong with the board but my thoughts my mind with that i belong with the girls. under the surgery starts to be of any particular. form of what persons doctors. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this. problem should have gone away from it by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it and you just go oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders is impossible. is delusional it's a mental illness. this is now one of my bones from flesh of my flesh she shall be

called woman because she was taken out of from a. wooden bowl made just manufactured to sense an instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame of the merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose.

and welcome to worlds apart millions trapped in a delay of facing death this guardian has learned it was typical of the western media coverage just before the leaders of russia turkey and iran got together just because the future of the last opposition held strong called in syria did the meeting in tact eliminate the danger of an imminent bloodbath and was it ever on the cards to discuss that i'm now joined by alexi klebnikov middle east expert at the russian international affairs council alexey thank you very much for your time thank you for coming over thank you for inflation now i'm sure you watch the broadcast of the meeting which was quite unusual in a sounds of allowing all of us a glimpse of how global leaders tangled with one another behind closed doors let's

watch a clip of what happened at this meeting and then discuss it and even if we declare a cease fire this will be a victory for the summit and the most important step in the process will give peace of mind to civilians that it is usually a big state but we don't have representatives of the opposition at the table. i sort of the president of turkey is right that would be good too but we can't speak for them especially for the terrorists on the street i see. so a bit of a friendly bickering on the part of president putin and president present aragon later refrain he's recross into let's call on all the bad guys to lay down their arms to reach everybody eagerly agreed i wonder though how do you interpret that was that all theatrical in front of the t.v. cameras or was it a genuine effort on the part of president barry go on to get a little bit more out of this meeting well the first place if we hypothesize

something that it was actually staged in reality it reflects existing disagreements between all parties i mean it's impossible to believe that all three russia took in iran have agreed on everything so far so of course it's not true so no actually this episode tiny episode gives us some idea bone like we'll disagreements between the russian turkey on that one of our colleagues here in moscow suggested that this was a good called bad call protein played out by a putin an error though on two on one hand montagne the credibility of the opposition and on the other hand to bide are they on a little bit more time the question is why would turkey need more time in aid leap and is there any credible opposition left in that province because from the kremlin's perspective everybody who wanted to reconcile with either syria or russia have already done that in other provinces the only people left in italy the

diehards siding with the second point i mean depends on who you are and how we treat and how we define core the moderate opposition and one of. the moderation of the opposition it's about whether or not.
