a surge in support for the country's right wing parties pale. when sentiment. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly r t international hello and welcome i'm you know neal earlier this week british authorities released photos of the two men they've charged with the poisoning of russian double agent surrogate script starter in march the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers acting on direct orders from.

well many british media outlets were quick to accept russia was to blame the spying to no direct evidence linking the men to the kremlin being made public headlines have branded the jewel of putin's smiling assassins and there are major inconsistency in britain's version of events that's been run. through now. 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 it 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 want 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 do 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 you wouldn't be. risking. 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 reasonably 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 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 and missiles free of all the experts advise that the 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 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 they used to attack the scruples front door or where do all in 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 way after six months we're 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 know what stopped 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 and sos written i've 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 travelling on the same airplane from moscow and then back to moscow leaving in a skip a 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 basso 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 russia manufactured nuvi chocks and then that fell through and 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. there is less than an hour until voting wraps up in sweden's general election a poll that could rock the country's political landscape early indications suggest a deadlock between the social democrats alliance of center right parties and one party which could play the role of king maker after pushing anti migrant policies the sweden democrats have seen a surge in popularity leading up to the vote on saturday election rivals have their final chance to sway voters. oh you. know sweden needs breathing space we need tight responsible immigration policy 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 so used as great again and again and again they show 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 maria for national travel to the southern city of health's in byrd to gauge opinion on the most divisive issue in this election migration policy . swedes will be a minority in our own country within two or three decades even if we 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 it say that i'm a racist can we now go on to discuss the facts the fact is once one of the most homogenous populations in europe almost a quarter of all swedish people today have a foreign background in some parts of society really aren't happy with that reality sweden is not swedish anymore i mean this is still the change you used to be a small little shop where you could buy hotdogs now it's sort of a bad shot if you never find any swedish hot dogs anymore but in a sense. this bickering least not yet over. it's just here. all the signs are you know we're at big. you know

org is owner of no no no no no you're wrong look even if we don't actually. i'm very sad that sweden is not swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry i don't regularly nice my own country if you like crying cloyd in the nation. we don't talk. to that all swedes say oh we love immigration we love all you are. so they get really you know they're not. what i say that's what they get. while we continue to walk with the camera more and more people come up to us most of them to argue. to complain to the nice. so easy even immigrants think that we are a meek country that we don't have good laws tells us he's been an asylum seeker in

sweden for almost fifteen years with no more 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 work i know how much taxes we pay i don't understand how this can go along for fifteen years as a nation we did swedish migration agency and immigration minister and ministry of justice and social democrat party without getting any clear answer yet. 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 is refused today

fifty thousand immigrants remain in sweden illegally have to failed asylum cases and nother seventy five thousand are still waiting on the migration board's decision including. for the third time in fourteen years to do. swedish id. until to morrow comes them 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 the. money is right but give me. both damascus and the terrorists are being accused of preparing a chemical attack moscow has warned that extremist groups have already delivered chloride into the area with the help of the western supported rescue group the

white helmets according to the russian military in the region are hoping to bring vocal western intervention in the region or the u.s. and allies believe its president assad who's planning to use toxic substances against militants in libya they say there's scuse me to evidence to suggest such an intention and washington has promised a strong response if chemical weapons are deployed the u.n. though stressed weaponized versions of coraline could be used by any side in syria . the government of one. which is the organization that the irish by the figure of. being deep kept ability to produce weaponized chlorine list by those claims from the syrian u.n. envoy his u.s. counterpart appears to have her own theories about possible chemical attacks in

syria. if there are chemical weapons that are used we know exactly who's going to use them . and yes russia is making accusations about opponents white helmets everything else. assad is doing the same. that is the exact formula they always follow before a chemical weapons attack that assad does on his own.

we got the thoughts of a security analyst who said the judge how this poses a considerable danger to people living in a province. the major threat against civilians is a terrorist threat the major threat against civilians comes from the about the most and 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 is the route that the syrian army and the russian army were able to control most of the syrian territory is more of the week's top news stories after this. so.

my. friends. found ourselves unprepared and you know 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
