joined me everything on me alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business. in our review of the week's top stories british authorities release photos of two men they claim carried out the poisoning of former russian spy certainly a script to his daughter. there are major inconsistency version of events. concerns of a violent gesticulation day potential chemical attack in syria is providence sparked tense debates in the u.n. security council. in today's news polls have just closed in sweden in what some are calling the country's most important election in

a decade while we await the results pre-election polls predict the surge in support for the country's right we are. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly an 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 surrogates cripple and his daughter in march the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers acting on direct orders from moscow.

well many british media outlets were quick to accept russia was to blame this by no direct evidence linking the men to the kremlin being made public headlines. putin's smiling assassins of those ses there are major inconsistency in britain's version of events. talks us through. 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 and

speaking to us 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 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 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 free of all the experts advise that the evidence to date does not suggest any long term health risk from short term one month 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 it over or not and then of course there's the huge gaps in the investigation we don't yet 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 disciplined 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'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 it not put out no work to stop these two people picking up a perfect bottle with a poison and 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 and james bond two killers traveling on the same era plane from moscow and then back is that say ok fine let it say that i'm a racist can we now go on to discuss the families the fact is one one of them is to modulus 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 here used to be a small little shop where you could buy hot dogs now it's sort of a bad shot you never find in a swedish hot dogs anymore but in a sense. this beginning. it's just here. all the signs are you know we're at big. you know

org is already no no no no no you're wrong. even if we do actually. i'm very sad that sweden is not a 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. so you see even immigrants think that we are a meek a country that if we don't have good laws 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 work and 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 current. pending according to swedish law an asylum seeker can appeal against the decision if their placation is refused

today fifty thousand immigrants remain in sweden illegally have to failed asylum cases and no other seventy five thousand are still waiting on the migration board's decision including. for the third time in fourteen years to. arm like a dog. 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. her. and if i mean 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 sorry it is slowly deteriorating everything is going the wrong way you cannot ignore also the fact that we have seen this nineteen eighties 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 and migration but given paper. the need to do that. is example like hollow wake up is it me i'm not part of a is it me boy i do what i can do to make like problem for you cause you not give me paper. from sweden earlier we also got

to take over a political science a expert from university on the sweden democrats write. what they do in these elections they put forward be sure of their written laws jaggi visions so even if they're actually the economy is boasting as we did and then employment rates are going down and criminality is actually also going on is still feeling that many people do not feel that. hurts your life so therefore they are worried about force when you have no money knows exactly how do you government is going to be important because traditionally story quickly it has been left right cleavage between the mainstream left and the mainstream right. back with more world news in ninety seconds.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development the only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan. 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. 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. hello again the battle for a glib is looming large in syria the northwestern province is thought to be the last terrorist stronghold in the war weary country russia and the west been debating ways of expelling terrorists from the region and continue to disagree with each other on friday. there are more babies in italy and that terrorists when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to bomb schools hospitals and homes because.

we are firmly under the impression that the west impotence a stocking he's still around and in any case are attempting to prevent the food of the last major terrorist stronghold in syria the assad regime and its enablers russia and iran have a playbook for this for every man woman and child becomes a target this eerie an army has incurred enormous casualties and it's an effort to make sure that as few civilians as as possible are killed it is the terrorists who make it their policy to go out and deliberately kill civilians history does not show the syrian army has caused widespread civilian deaths unlike the situation in mosul and rocca where are the western forces simply did carpet bombing in the killed everyone the tensions over a glib come as both the terrorists are being accused of preparing

a chemical that moscow has warned that extremist groups already delivered into the area with the help of the western supported rescue group the white helmets according to the russian military jet how this in the region are hoping to provoke a western intervention in the region the u.s. and allies believe its president assad who's planning to use toxic substances against militants in a loop they say there's evidence to suggest such an intention and washington has promised a strong response if chemical weapons are deployed to the u.n. those stressed weaponized versions of chlorine could be used by any site in syria. the government of one. which is that organization declare that they reached by the figure of. being deep kept ability to produce weaponized chlorine well despite those claims from the un envoy to syria his u.s. counterpart appears to have her own theories about possible chemical attacks.

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 the.

a security analysts we spoke to. pose 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. most that are 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 territories. a new wave of protests started in eastern germany over the death of a twenty two year old in the city of kirton he was reportedly killed in a fight on saturday with two migrants now in custody two afghans were provisionally

detained on suspicion of homicide the reasons for and concrete circumstances of the incident or not yet known. german media reported the incident took place on a playground where three afghan men started an argument with a pregnant woman two locals are believed to have stepped in but that led to a fight breaking out police say one of the men who intervened later died from his injuries well it comes on the back of violent protests in another eastern city in germany which broke up over the stabbing of a man in chemnitz by people the scribe this being of iraqi and syrian origin by pulling.

off our theories are blaming the rise of the far right for the current situation in chemnitz. when today someone gives nazi salutes now streets that's a disgraceful country we must get out from our couches and speak up and see you on the chemist's government is at the forefront of the movement that right really has no place in this country chancellor angela merkel has echoed that sentiment but it hasn't stopped the anti migrant alternative for germany party from making their way

up the political ladder in the country these numbers are from the latest polls since violence broke out in chemnitz. the only going bottle in syria could be the death knell for a job in the country but what happens next in the war torn country worlds apart examines not in moments. of them was so much that all of them mama. i don't mama. said oh.

yeah we do a little. on the critical well what if. you said to. me now you come with that he's going to get so for us to do that. for you all. here for everyone that is for you. when lawmakers manufacture consent to constant to the public well. when the running club to some protect themselves. when the final

clearing go around to be the one person. doing all middle of the room signals. good. news is. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to prevent the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the lawyer who put him in your list put video through in the new bill is that i knew this feeling needed to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took pleasure invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. on

the welcome two worlds apart millions trapped in a delay of facing doubt this guardian has learned it was typical of the western media coverage just before the leaders of russia turkey and iran got together to discuss the future of the last opposition stronghold in syria due to meeting in tact. eliminate the danger of an imminent bloodbath and was it after all on the cards we'll 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 beach was quite unusual in a sense 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 just gives you a state it literally but we don't have representatives of the opposition at the table you have to learn how to isolate them from the president of turkey is right that would be good too but we can't speak for them especially for the terrorists on this trip will i still go to a bit of a friendly becoming on the part of president putin and president present aragon later refrain he's requesting to let's call on all the bad guys to lay down their arms to each 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 jannie an 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 turkey and iran have agreed on everything so far so of course it's not true so no actually and this episode tiny episode gives us some idea about like we'll disagreements between russian turkey on that one of our colleagues here in moscow suggested that this was a good call bad call protean 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 our there on a little bit more time the question is why would turkey need more time in a bleep 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. starting with a second point i mean depends on who you are and how we treat and how we define core the.
