now other developments this back to the province where russia's military says terrorists have begun their final preparations for a possible false flag attack that's the important thing now they're going to wear down the mortgages with this you discuss this is this new line in a what if we go on this that because this worry has been happening no building up for weeks isn't it just this latest line we've got i mean as you say the russian a modi has been warning about this for the last week twelve days or so warning of this false flag operation in syria using chemical weapons which wouldn't justify a strike on syrian government forces by the u.s. and its allies according to the russian reconciliation center in syria there are camera crews on site in the town enabler province. sugared filming this alleged incident that's according to the intelligence they say they received from local residents in that town. specifically they say the footage will include what helmets allegedly treating victims of this attack which came from syrian government

forces barrel bombs the footage will be sent to various news channels middle eastern and western within the next twenty four hours or so by the end of two years that's at least what that center is saying now we requested comment from the u.s. department of defense to see if they know anything about this what they make of these allegations we have so far received no reply but the u.s. has been very clear that they've denied any knowledge of all of mount on this i dismiss this as effectively propaganda and they've been tensions building up to this there's been this sort of kind of prediction that one side or the other is going to do something like this for weeks now you know absolutely i mean the u.s. has made its position very clear they say a chemical attack by damascus will result in retaliation by the u.s. and its allies and any chemical incident will be blamed almost preemptively on the syrian government and they made that clear at a meeting which really has been quite heated. just so there's no. confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we

will respond very strongly he would have known forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it. urge the international community to support collective efforts to and serious use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use that people will not use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone that that would be a concern of ours. we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there it's not the first time the u.s. no matter which administration has prioritized the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of reading terrorism and extremism. i mean that

show how the positions are on the syria question of the u.s. and russia or indeed russia is warned about such provocations damascus has no motive to use chemical weapons when they know this will draw the wrath the military intervention of western forces. the u.s. has this missed all of this speculation as a distraction as propaganda as the structuring from what they suspect to be a potential bloodbath when that affects the place and the government forces are massing on the borders of the province hardest groups have made clear they'll be no negotiations no surrender they're going to fight to the death the tension really is that it's pretty to any such incident involving chemical weapons or potential use of chemical weapons really could be the spark to trigger something major and the worry is because this whole area is so densely populated as one quote you shoot one bullet you kill two people you're absolutely un has warned a full scale assault. bearing in mind there are thousands of the hardest groups

it's hardest fought as they refuse to surrender to go she or lay down arms it could result in what they described as the biggest humanitarian catastrophe so far looks like something's come to a head that is now all right well maybe crucially maybe maybe not the next twenty for us we'll continue to follow the story thanks for taking it upon to explain it to us get is complicated thank you. meantime some terror groups and an affiliate so picking up on what don was saying then we won in the name to two thousand and one on this very day that was the organization that coded the most devastating atrocity in american history since nine eleven washington has been engaged in a fight against terrorism through intervention around the globe has been so well published but it seems that mission has switched in some countries as caleb maupin explains next seventeen years ago in america evil had a name and that name was al qaeda the united states of america is an enemy of those

who weighed terrorists and of the barbaric criminals who profane a great religion by committing murder in its name but that was seventeen years ago in more recent days things just aren't as clear cut in syria's ilia province the terrorist group known as he ought to rear al shaab previously known as al qaeda in syria is alive and kicking now the un special envoy for syria stephan de mistura says that over ten thousand al qaeda linked fighters are in the area for a long time the usa has promised that it will separate the moderate opposition from the designated terrorist groups but the separation just hasn't happened and at this point it seems like u.s. officials are focused on raising the alarm about the syrian government's efforts to retake rebel held territories. president of syria must not recklessly attack it with problems and fact that top administration has already made it clear that if indeed there is a chemical attack they already know who did it if there are chemical weapons that

are used we know exactly who's going to use them john bolton trumps national security advisor says that the idea that anybody even the syrian government might use chemical weapons is just crazy. so apparently al qaeda brought down the twin towers but they're just not evil enough to release some chlorine gas now the u.n. special envoy disagree is and says that the terrorists are very capable of conducting chemical attacks the government on one hand and most of which is an

organization because the irish by the figure come still. having deep i believe claim to produce weaponized chlorine it quickly stopped being a war about. democracy let's put it that way so. there is no distinction and i think the united states news knows this it didn't matter to the united states who won so long. last the americans are looking for a way to do well stocked the syrian and russian advance on it and prevent this conflict from being over the syrian government will. will be the responsible for chemical. regardless of who does them this isn't the first time that us foreign policy has a zigzag when it comes to al qaeda back in the one nine hundred eighty s. they called osama bin ladin

a freedom fighter when he was battling against the democratic republic of afghanistan cia gave him guns and us media cheered him on it seems now us foreign policy regarding the al qaeda terrorists has gone full circle. art see new york a suicide bombings hit a protest in eastern afghanistan has killed at least twenty five people authorities say dozens more but injured to the demonstration there was calling for the resignation of a local police commander have come both journalists a car has sunny as the story. today afternoon exactly just a few minutes after. i saw you said no more actually it a group of civil hands who gathered in eastern province of afghanistan in one go to protest against a local police commander. in action districts often i'm gonna call it what shade is supportive of. the taliban group and also isis group in this province.

hole is counted as one of the insecure problems of ganesan which group. parentally in this province and mostly launching such kind of deadly attacks on civilian government simply and cities get them into situations more likely that this attack also you know conduct it also conduct has been conducted by the isis group. into plastic also conduct such kind of attacks on civilian gatherings in different parts of afghanistan. the russian protest artists notorious for staging some pretty eye watering stunts is found that fleeing to frogs to claim asylum wasn't quite worked out according to plan after his latest piece one of.

russia it's sometimes difficult to be and. yes especially for one makes a political declaration. out of his art that's the case of so that poverty and we already know and there's just been arrested for setting the door of the former k.g.b. building on prior. to publish the price of his actions is the loss of his freedom. we filmmakers sponsors actors in the world of culture and citizen so outraged about the situation both autists an opposition illegally incarcerated and russian.

daily life in french prison is like every day a prison guard names incarcerated person and reaches a arrest warrant out loud the prisoner then grabs his things and matches from the cell says his goodbyes his prison makes the new leaves in florida for example five to ten prison guards gang up on a convict and slam them to the floor show humans and shows fred twist his hand and then lead him out was squeezing his neck. obviously the administration here is just torturing me.

coming up a a power brokers business decision makers in asia pacific in fillers they're all in there a lot of us stop for the east an economic forum that's under way of the to get days to go as well bring it up to speed on the opening day of that among our stories when we come back after the break.

but politicians 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 to survival for three of them or ten people. interested in the logs. six. why again key leaders in business chiefs from across asia pacific region of

gathered in russia's port city of lot of us thought for the east an economic forum on the sidelines of the event the opening day today president putin this chinese kind about xi jinping when holding closed door talks of correspondingly patrol because there across that. key messages for a lot of. paying lot of. that there was great trust between beijing and moscow when it comes to politics defense and security business to keep growing stronger and stronger and most important the beijing and moscow are looking to get off the dollar at least when it comes to bilateral trade amid mounting pressure from washington should the to succeed in ditching the dollar as their main currency of trade this could be a clear signal to other countries after all if moscow and beijing could pull it off

why couldn't others the russian president spent almost the entire day with his chinese counterpart there were all kinds of events and deferred rounds of talks they visited an exit bishan together besides this a cold factory for one of the rounds of talks the leaders of russia and china word joined by the wealthiest businessmen from the two countries and there was also a behind closed door session the russian ambassador before that session began had hinted that syria would be brought up anyway judging by what was said on tuesday there is every side that russia and china will continue to act as team players on an international and global scene. was the big names that we heard from. other experts attending a forum ongoing tensions over trade and tyrus though some of the big topics they touched on of course. trade wars have never worked for anybody and no one has been

ever won a trade war so this is not a good thing is happening for on the sly is that everybody can find new ways to trade with each other even if there are trade wars it's expensive perhaps but this is a good way for people to share and say what do we do and anybody who knows history in economics know which trade wars don't work countries lately china russia japan india and others who do believe that the world must remain to get it must work together must create new forms of cooperation and collaboration have to put capital both political and money on the table to preserve and serve this particular cause in forums like these where we are today are actually the new forums of tomorrow it is in the east eastern economic forum more than the world economic forum but apps that you might find solutions for the asian century. here and human rights chief are sent delegations to italy and austria to verify how migrants are being treated

there it's after a reported increase in racist attacks in both those countries. it elice decision to close its seaports denying entry to angio rescue ships had serious consequences for the most vulnerable even though we're seeing a big drop in the numbers coming from libya over the past twelve months the number of those who died during the crossing is high in the first six months of twenty eighteen than it was the flow of arrivals in the e.u. has decreased overall compared to last year it's a trend that's evidence in italy but the country still receives nonetheless a large number now the drop in arrivals comes after the populace government there in italy took power in june and rome's migration policy it's these interior minister meantime in the crosshairs over these new rules he's now under investigation for alleged abuse of office kidnapping and illegal arrest after he forced a rescue ship with one hundred fifty refugees a border stay in port for five days r.t.

sophie shevardnadze spoke exclusively to matteo salvini about the strain the migrant crisis has placed on its broader europe. surely. there are some international missions that brought tens of thousands of migrants to italy alone i think the citizens of pay my salary in order for me to control who is entering my country the european countries like france if i close the borders and send back fifty thousand people and then try to lecture us on. you know not only me. i don't have enemies i see things very differently from on your micro on an angle or merkel on economics immigration the future of europe islam and terrorism we've come a long way there is a historical opportunity next made to finally change the balance in europe and to change our relations with countries beyond europe as well i'm thinking of russia because i've been saying it for years now that i'm in government i will work on it

because sanctions against russia do not make any konami political social or cultural sense. on this one and you know. i'm not against europe i'm in favor of a year of the does few things but doesn't while leaving freedom of choice on other fronts for individual states this government has already built partnerships in the united states in russia and in china because europe's population and economic power would diminish more and more. unfortunately him brussels and in europe they only understand the language of money therefore they're not talking about principles values solidarity but economic issues the e.u. is now discussing the budget for the next seven years seeking to get it approved if we devote all countries and we the italian government from prime minister down have already said that if there is no agreement on the other issues on banking policy policy immigration we won't vote for the budget. there are sexism at the highest

levels of tennis continues to rage today following suit in williams' furious outburst at the umpire during a defeat in the u.s. open final many a rallying behind the forward world number one no claiming double standards others have other ideas about it they've turned to mocking or actions on court.

i'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff in for me to say and for me take it again it made me feel like it was a sexist remark i mean like how he's never to gain from a male because i said. some celebrities are backing williams though insisting she wouldn't have been treated so harshly if she were a man of the male players of a far more aggressive outburst in the past or less first the women's tennis association is also throwing its weight behind the start to. the w.t. believes that there should be no difference in the standards of tolerance provided to the emotions expressed by men versus women and it's committed to working with the sport to ensure that all players are treated the same we do not believe that

this was done. now the less callous ramos the umpire in question is now over his tough approach not just towards women at this year's wimbledon quarter finally warned of male play of throwing his racket to the ground in twenty six day we can back in history the pain lies on the murray a miracle for his remark of stupid umpiring women's rights advocate of a sudden loss of social commentator. joins us to talk about this to discuss the fallout from the williams incident i think she acted the way she did because she was frustrated and she was losing a mate and people don't really realize a she already played a omeo soccer earlier in the year i think it was in march down in florida and she lost badly in his will so it's sports you get a first generation issue reacted in an emotional way that the good news a missed of late they i think they came afterwards to john do some damage control of a rope defect and she lost so i said now that's what it is why you have is the greatest tennis player of all time this was not about her being

a fresh straight it had with losing a game this was about a woman that they would tend to to literally box her in at every level and they have said things about her and she's been under attack as the greatest player of all time that it's unfortunate that they just mistreat her the way that they do you know she had a first violation which was for coaching now and she can say date she didn't see to guy give notice signal ok it is fine it was just a warning there was no penalty it was sick a violation came where she's on the record on the ground broke the racket you can't do they so at that point you have to first file a second violation you should be kind of just train noise and easy times you see a.b. go and do it too much else the question you have to ask here is have these other guys that she made seen had a first violation second violation didn't continue to act or did they say ok i got a calm down now here i did i can't go anymore and indication. the definition of coaching requires that he she actually receive the communication which she did not

she didn't see it and even her coach said that he did say it is the story and i'm so sorry i'm glad she didn't hear it so then very want to be any sort of violation because she didn't receive it so there's no need for the first one the second one people throw rackets all the time john john mccain row through racquets and kirsten everything else and it was called if you do warning and ship he was vague or if he had passion he didn't receive warning and it was tolerated and so forth arena to be lambasted and for this wind to be thole and from her it's really unacceptable and it's really disgusting that there's been such a campaign against her and i was really concerned that we have an issue even with the make nice car caricature and portraying her as some type of animal i'm really just confused as to why we were willing to accept that she's just that great without she means your innocence or her she wasn't or she was in march early it's a naomi osaka so i mean was the sixty's in a march that made her lose dad or did you just happen to stare square because you

know this kind of adds aren't having a child and was very well a state she was not ready very well and this and she should not play very well in the first match to hey daryn she also lost. true though that was thrown from moscow so far this tuesday is twenty eight minutes past four on kovan out in thanks for what should check it out so you don't call me if you've not got her up already it's a great way to get all the stories straight to mobile devices. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development 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. america it's face for the next actual threat like china becoming a superpower and will get its act together and like we did during the cold war oh after russia put up sputnik the us landed on the loon that's why mention the moon and look if we have an existential crisis coming down the path guys like trump and other entrepreneurial you know leaders will mobilize the country and i walk on this challenge because right now america doesn't have anybody else out there to play with you know the war.
