sentiment. a welcome to our weekly review some of the stories that made the news headlines of the last seven days i'm kevin owen here in moscow with you this sunday were of your children around the world good to have you company wednesday than first off that was the day the british authorities released photos of two men they've charged with the poisoning of the russian double agent sergei scriptural and his daughter of march the suspects is said to be russian intelligence officers acting on is the accusation direct orders from moscow.

so many british media outlets were quick to accept russia was to blame despite no direct evidence linking the men to the kremlin big made public headlines branded the job in smiling assassins those says that a major inconsistency is in britain's version of events. that goes to explained in the week just gone. 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 aren't on speaking 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 voice 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 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 in refusing to budge until the brits respond to certain questions look the russians have asked for fingerprints harmless right 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 and missiles greenery all the experts advisedly evidence to date does not suggest any long term health risk from short term one off contact with low levels of this agent so which is it might be a tad confusing for locals in salisbury everything's fine and saved but it isn't so 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 or where do all and charlie got the bottle the poison the. 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 away after six months we are told this is how the poison came into the country in a power few bottle why could we don't been told that before why was not put out now what is the stop these two people picking up a perfect bottle with the 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 and sos 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 if the 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 served with one more. no and to top all that off the british insisted could only have been the russians first they said that the new russian manufactured nova chucks and then that fell through when 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 micro stockpiles contradictions everywhere. voting is underway right now in sweden's general election that could rock the political landscape in stockholm polls there predict a deadlock between the social democrats and alliance a center right parties and what particular party could play the role of the kingmaker after pushing anti migrant policies the sweden democrats have seen a surge in popularity leading up to the vote on saturday election rivals had their final chance than to sway voters. sweden needs breathing space we need tight responsible immigration policies and do you know something there is only one guarantor in swedish politics for responsible and tight immigration in sweden that guarantor is the sweden democrats results in are not seized as great again and again and again they showed their nats in races roots and

they're trying to destroy the time when we need that corporation the most new 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 or the run up to the vote than last week of travel to the southern city of helsingborg to gauge opinion of the most divisive issue in this election that appears to be migration policy. the swedes will be a minority in our own country within two or three decades even if you stop all immigration now we will become a minority that's the demography journalist in good carlquist has been branded a racist by many she's calling for the borders to be closed and all immigrants to be sent away nowadays when people call me a racist i say ok fine let's. say that i'm

a racist can we now go on to discuss the facts the fact is one one of the most homogenous populations in europe almost a quarter of all swedish people today have a foreign background and some parts of society really aren't happy with that reality sweden is not swedish anymore i mean this is still the change here used to be a small little shop where you could buy hotdogs now it's sort of a you never find it is swedish anymore. now. this beginning. is just here. all the science arena rap being. all your org is owner of no no no no no you're wrong we'll meet a woman even if we don't expect you actually to. agree i'm very

sad that sweden is not a swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry don't you regularize my own country if you like crying cloyd in the ocean. we don't talk because so used to that all swedes say oh we love immigration we love all you are come here so they get really you know they're not used to us we say what i say that's what they get oh well we continue to walk with the camera more and more people come up. most of them to argue. to complain. but it was so easy even immigrants think that we are a meek country that we don't have good laws abou adam tells us he's been an asylum seeker in sweden for almost fifteen years with no my work permit and no id so how do you get your money when you get. migration. but. who pays that

money. you know who pays migration swedish taxpayers you know how much money how much we were out of i know how much taxes we pay i don't understand how this cabin going on for fifteen years was finished we did ask swedish migration agency and immigration minister and ministry of justice and social democrat party without getting any clear answer yet we look up on the agency's website twice he was denied asylum in two thousand and four and two thousand and seven his third application is currently pending according to swedish law an asylum seeker can appeal against the decision if there placation is refused today fifty thousand immigrants remain in sweden illegally have to failed asylum cases another seventy five thousand are still waiting on the migration board's decision including. for the third time in

fourteen years to have this. large dog or more of a swedish id. until to morrow comes holds a so-called l m a card very fine him as an asylum seeker he can legally stay in the country and receives the coolant of iran and seven euros in swedish crowns every day and other social benefits but he's banned from studying or working here. i don't mean to take his money if. it's not money. give me. her help and the money. and if it's not just refugees here question the system's efficiency but the locals and base size of the political spectrum people have a sensation of that this is site is slowly deteriorating everything is going the wrong way you cannot ignore also the fact that we have since nine hundred eighty

given approval for two three point three million people from other countries to live here and seven percent of them have been refugees according to the united nations and the rest have come here for for many other reasons. and this discontent breeds fear and anger where you can't immigration immigration don't give a paper. he need to do that. is example like hello wake up is it mean the capability to produce weaponized chlorine despite those claims from the syrian u.n. envoy his u.s. counterpart appraised of her own theories about possible chemical attacks forthcoming in syria. if there are chemical weapons that are used we know exactly who's going to use them . yes russia is making accusations

about. everything else. assad is doing or saying. that is the exact formula they always follow before a chemical weapons attack. a security in the weeks says the jihad is pose a considerable danger to people living in a. major threat against civilians as a terrorist threat that the major threat against civilians comes from the. groups

that are terrorist groups and i think it's absolutely ridiculous why would the syrian regime and the russians use any chemical weapons or allow the use of any chemical weapons for the last stronghold of these terrorist organizations i mean they all that the. army and the russian army were able to control most of the syrian territories in seven days don't try. to leave behind that explosive opinion piece new york times we talk about that more than a comeback. 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 to follow the only closely i'm going to resist i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want to be. the two going to be pros this is what we're before three of the people. interested always in the water how. things should.

watch not internationalized from oscar this sunday with me kevin i would so donald trump wants the u.s. justice department to identify the author of that bombshell new york times opinion piece the article was published anonymously allegedly by a senior white house official claim that he's part of the resistance inside the administration. i work for the president but like minded colleagues and i have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations on russia for instance the president was reluctant to expel so many of mr putin's spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former russian spy in britain but his national security team knew better such actions had to be taken to hold moscow accountable this isn't the work of the so-called deep state it's the work of the steady state it may be cold comfort in this chaotic era but americans should know that there are adults in the room or trouble reacted furiously lashing out at what he called the gutless author and

while the president now apparently has reason to clear the ranks the top members of the administration denying any involvement a come from a place where if you're not a position to execute the commanders and you have a singular option. in this to leave it's not my steamin notion feels it was irresponsible for new york times to print this anonymous piece these types of political attacks are beneath the secretary and the department's mission well the article so serious debate over the possible author with officials the media in bookmakers all speculating about who it could be. there is a real search now for who this person is is it you is it that person who is it this could really be anyone it could be someone who works at the white house some are speculating that it might even be members of president trump's family well some folks think they know who wrote the op ed because of an unusual word in this passage which describes john mccain's legacy as a lodestar but that word might be

a clue to maintain international peace must again be our lodestar vigilance and resolve as our love story we have an expression as you know the hail mary this is when you try your best to throw the ball and hope somebody catches it something you're up against it you get the midterms coming they've tried everything they go after books we had the bob woodward book with the stormy daniels we had amorosa we had the michael wolff book we've got this we've got people now claiming and the latest let me add is elizabeth warren the senator who is suggesting that the president is insane and could be removed via the twenty fifth amendment they are throwing everything including the kitchen sink everything at him hoping somewhere something sticks and so far nothing it doesn't matter this is all within the fake corporate media world where they believe we're having a tremendous effect people are listening the new york times.

twitter and facebook bosses apologized on wednesday for being too slow to sports alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the social media giants were testifying at a senate hearing on foreign influence the founder said i was unprepared and you equipped for the immensity of the problems that we've acknowledged we were too slow to spot this and too slow to act. that is on us you know and to be to be frank we haven't done a good job at this in the past and so this is a big threat and our opponents are going to keep getting better and we have to get better and we have to stay i had and the more we can all work together the better off we're going to be we've really strengthened our partnership with our government agencies since twenty sixteen according to twitter the so-called maligned russian activity was estimated at less than one percent of all traffic on the platform of twitter and facebook warned about a more powerful russian side destroy being prepared for the midterms coming up the

russians also continue to infiltrate and manipulate american social media to hijack our national conversation. you've gotten better and i'm pleased to see that you've begun to take action but also the russians are getting better as well they have now become harder to track worse now that the russian playbook is out there other adversaries as we saw recently like iran have joined the fray russia neither leans left nor right its simply seeks turmoil a weak america is good for russia well the day before but hearing facebook announce plans to build a physical war room within its h.q. would be command center for eliminating election meddling and cyber warfare no less . anything. else prince no trace. no massey.

facebook says that war room is designed to detect and prevent interference in the upcoming u.s. midterms the room will include several screens it'll keep track of certain facebook metrics and highlight any of the usual activity and in case any unusual activity is found it seems alarms will see calling employees to take immediate action. and on that note all say goodbye for now they're just some of the stories that shape the week around us always so much more of course as it happens twenty four seventh's at r.t. dot com for now is kevin owen saying have a great was left of it we can. manufacture

consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. all the jailers aren't. your choir the little

girl. you're for conclude. video.

but i'll say that the way the law was written. i did have it in my mind that i would be walking down the corridor of a totally free person but i don't think in ten fits a twenty years here which is also yes a lot but not in texas standards because texas is our last census like it's candy. to teach these are the two options that could happen here and we need your vehicle cop out. ok and where do i fall from that from here you would follow this way ok so that doesn't make sense and it makes sense or ok go in is if i'm getting in a vehicle and you're turning to do whatever you got to do is eat is yes. he's already here pow pow so that's what happened and what's going to happen you're going to follow this will take this and this is what happened this is what they said i'm not sure if i'm going in a vehicle our power i need your vehicle and then i. i'm not sure if he felt like

this or like this but he felt he felt toward where he were is nearing lilia so is this guy here getting it. this wasn't just give him the only option if he fell for discovery here shutting our power you.
