4:08 pm

4:09 pm
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 its. well that comes on the back of violent protests in another eastern city in germany which broke out over the stabbing of amman in chemnitz by people described as being of iraqi and syrian origin by police .
4:10 pm
or foreign he's are blaming the rise of the far right for the current situation in chad and. when today someone gives not to suits now streets that's a disgraceful country we must get out from our couches and speak up this issue and see you on the chemist's government is at the forefront of the movement that right wing radicalism has no place in this country chancellor angela merkel has echoed that sentiment but it hasn't stopped the un team migrant alternative for germany
4:11 pm
party from making their way up the political ladder in the country these numbers on screen are from the latest poll since violence broke out in chants. u.s. prosecutors have admitted to wrongly accusing ria boots and the alleged russian spy no we're think trial in custody of offering sex in exchange for employment in a recent court filing prosecutors said the accusations were based on the text messages and other information they taint but conceded the government wrongly interpreted the conversations back in july maria bhutto was arrested on charges of acting as a foreign agent without registering with the u.s. government moscow call the arrest politically motivated while some attempts to prove burton is guilty of being interesting.
4:13 pm
let's cross live now to human rights lawyer dunn koval leg for his takedown good to see you on the show again why do you think the prosecutors and i backtracking on this allegation when previously the u.s. government well they were quite confident. why not sure if they were ever caught with it i mean clearly this is a political case. it's unclear to me what this young woman has done ron except maybe not register under the act believe no one's been arrested ever for violating that act which is rarely bogus. and i think in order to boost strap a pretty weak claim against her they originally had the salacious claims of her off
4:14 pm
a sex firm ploy men which frankly would rise to the level anyway. but frankly in order to destroy her reputation which they probably have the fact that lee done it at this point is a possibility the sex allegations were merely meant to boost attention to the case and show in a bad light because it seemed to be you know jumping on prevailing sent sentiment when really cold hard facts for something were ramifications are so large in a case like this can lead to so many different conclusions. yes well again i do think it was intentional i think it was done to get headlines or think it was done to injure her reputation again there's very little of this case but all along. u.s. officials and even the press are trying to present her is some kind of spy when in fact there's not even a now a geisha in that regard yeah the sexual allegations and again you have the makings
4:15 pm
of a james bond nothing which i think is what they want to portray me why have this young woman what she was she didn't she was meeting with people to talk about gun rights that she wants to you know loosen in around the country back home in russia so it's a very disturbing case obviously reminds me of the jean seberg case years ago the f.b.i. destroy the reputation of an actress. very left wing actress in jeans uber drove her to suicide with these types of salacious allegations and i see that same type of pain in play right now all prosecutors are calling the evidence against but they're still calling it substantial your assessment of how this case will go from here after this climbdown. i'm going to bet that this case will drag on and this poor woman will rot in jail apparently subjected to all sorts of indignities including
4:16 pm
a body cavity searches after every meeting. and then absolutely the charges will be dropped for lack of evidence but in the meantime her reputation liable who will lead astroid this case is gone. you know there's a lot of key aspects of the charges now are under scrutiny the credibility of them as you've understood this case are there any more that you think are going to be you know going to be really challenged and questioned and perhaps go the same way as what happened today or get out of the case will be dismissed and there's nothing here i think this was a political gambit frankly to deal with a bigger geo political issues to try to ruin you know the outcome of the summit between trump and. she's being used as a political pawn by the united states and. these charges will be dropped but
4:17 pm
in the meantime our lives will be destroyed don thanks for your time always great to get your take down colic human rights lawyer speaking to us life news continues after this in ninety seconds. no one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be
4:18 pm
an arms race. spearing dramatic development 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. we start back in syria where reports from russia's defense ministry say american jets prohibited white phosphorous bombs during strikes interest or province. shared the details in the studio with me earlier. further details did the russian
4:19 pm
military give them this well according to them on saturday to a u.s. led coalition jets bombed the town enduros or province in eastern syria with white phosphorus munitions and that's of course an incendiary munition and according to the statement massive fires were seen in the area afterwards at this point it's unclear whether there were any casualties resulting from the bombing or the resulting fires but we have asked central command for comment on the situation but we've yet to get an answer from just give us some more detail if you will on white phosphorus weapons what makes them so dangerous that it will the use of white phosphorus in civilian air areas is banned under international law because the weapon is so devastating it's an incendiary munition and it burns until it's deprived of oxygen so when it comes in contact with people it can cause second and third degree chemical and thermal burns even burning down to the bone itself and of course and burns it also produces a dense white smoke that if inhaled can lead to illness and also possibly death now
4:20 pm
regardless of all of that there have been reports in the past of the u.s. using such weapons including last year in syria and iraq and that caused outrage among human rights groups such as human rights watch who said it's used by the u.s. quote raises serious questions about the protection of civilians now for their part the u.s. has said in the past year when these accusations first came up the u.s. said that they use such rounds in general only as smoke screens and signals and those uses are not banned under international law leaving the u.s. a loophole to keep such weapons in their ammunition. earlier this week british authorities released photos of the two men they've charged with the poisoning of russian double agent surrogate script his daughter back in march the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers acting on direct orders from a school. well
4:21 pm
many british media outlets were quick to show was to blame despite no direct evidence linking the men to the kremlin being made public headlines have branded the jew putin smiling assassins moscow says there are major inconsistency and britain's version of events of talks us through no. 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
4:22 pm
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
4:23 pm
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 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
4:24 pm
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 in the source greenery 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 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 yet know where the suspects disposed of the know vitriol that they used to attack this cripples front door where dolan charlie got the bottle the poison the. or is it if it is the same
4:25 pm
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 the 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 not 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
4:26 pm
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 or charity skip a perfume bottle full 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 basu 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 all
4:27 pm
for the british insisted could only have been the russians first they said that the new russia manufactured nuva chalks 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 more enough story and the rest can also be found on our t. dot com stay with us no though for more great programs right ahead. just manufactured to be sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fines merry go round
4:28 pm
4:29 pm
like that over there now we have this this pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there i'm there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out. editor at get back all the money i made off of it. ain't going to happen.
