11:01 am
earlier. so i mean. they march me. by we're going to even just turned six pm here in moscow my name's kevin knowing this is r.t. international first i'm from moscow tonight syria seems to be on the verge of defeating the last remaining terrorist stronghold in the country but the situation in several areas remains unstable one of them is the hama province. soon. i heard
11:02 am
a roar and now there was dust everywhere and i grabbed my daughter is trying to cover the world with my body we lost part of our eye when told to find him and saw he with a corridor there was a pool of blood coming from his head. out of sight of the cinema and several days ago a rocket landed in front of my house my mom wife and three children died i remember how i called home no one picked out. how low some people died young lady and little girl and two teenagers also a day. besides hammer province al qaeda affiliates and also active in aid lib right now to where tensions continue to mount another big story potentially happening right now russia's military says
11:03 am
terrorists there have started their final preparations for a possible false flag attack they've been warned about in the past few weeks but it seems things could be holding up in that direction artie's don't you hawkins joined me earlier in the studio to discuss the developments today that. you're upset about accusations and counter-accusations the russian modi has been warning about this for quite some time today we've got news coming in from the russian reconsideration center in syria that things are actually on the move according to them camera crews are on site in a deliberate or tower of jews that i was sure good of they're filming this alleged incident of false flag operation according to the russians at least based on intelligence from residents from locals tell itself they say this footage that they're filming will include what the helmets treating alleged victims of a false chemical weapons attack by the syrian government from barrel bombs from helicopters this footage will be sent to various news channels across. the middle
11:04 am
east and the u.s. as well within the next twenty four hours of by the end of today at least we have requested a comment from the u.s. department of defense to see if they know anything about this if they can comment on this somehow we haven't heard back but the u.s. has previously denied all of this they've said this is just the destruction it is just propaganda and the threat of chemical weapons use by damascus is very real but with tensions on all sides these accusations flying around it does look like something is finally coming to a head there doesn't it you know i mean tensions have been rising that the u.s. has made their position very clear multiple times they've said that chemical weapon use by damascus will trigger retaliation like a military retaliation would strikes by the u.s. and its allies on syrian government forces they've also made clear that any chemical weapon use will be blamed always print overly on the damascus government so that their position is very clear that's led to clashes between russian and u.s. officials previously things getting quite heated let's take a look just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons
11:05 am
we will respond very strongly. forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it we urge the international community to support collective efforts and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again who would use the people who use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what 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 once again. 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 think it's
11:06 am
clear it's shocking that chemical weapons use is even being predicted from any saudi here as we've said in the past but russia as we say has warned about such provocations what they describe as provocation is that we all agree that the moscow has no weapons and even if they've been using them would be suicidal triggering a military intervention from the west potentially any such chemical weapons use or even threat to allegation of such chemical weapon use could be the scope of the spot triggering some very serious incidents. whole can say well as you've already heard most of the terrorists now that are concentrated in a province. that infamous organization carried out the most devastating atrocity in modern american history seventeen years ago today to this day since nine eleven washington has been engaged in a fight against terrorism strew intervention around the globe but it seems the mission has switched in some countries as caleb maupin explores next seventeen
11:07 am
years ago when 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 illit 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 and syria steffan 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 this 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 bush show asked that syria must not
11:08 am
recklessly probe and in fact the 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 adviser says that the idea that anybody even the syrian government might use chemical weapons is just crazy. the government of russia and others have said that we are giving the authorization for al qaida to use cam pins and try and pin it on the government of syria one of the most outrageous claims that that i can think of ultimately if syria is put back together this is the perfect kind of example of a case where the people of syria themselves are going to have to confront what governments did what their government did purportedly in their name 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.
11:09 am
special envoy disagrees and says that the terrorists are very capable of conducting chemical attacks the government of one and and. we achieve that organization relief by the figure come fill. being deep would be needed 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 as assad lost the americans are looking for a way to stop the syrian and russian advance and prevent this conflict from being over the syrian government will go. will be to responsible for chemical. regardless of who does them this isn't the first time
11:10 am
that us foreign policy has a zig zag 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. protests in eastern afghanistan killing at least thirty two bombing of their authority say dozens more have been injured to the demonstration there was calling for the resignation of a local police commander and come based journalist has suddenly has got the story of what happened there's been a few fortunate tens of bents that is the sum of. today afternoon exactly just a few minutes after. i saw you said number actually get in a group of sue williams who gathered in eastern province of afghanistan in one go
11:11 am
to protest against a local police commander below par chart in action districts often anger which is supported by. the taliban group and also isis group at this problem. is counted as one of the insecure problems of which this group. are currently in this province and mostly launching such try and of the attacks on civilian government civilian government in a situations more likely that this attack also. contact it also has been conducted by the isis group. into plastic also conduct such kind of attacks on civilian gatherings in different parts of afghanistan yeah there was more as well a twin blast also in the same province in afghanistan earlier two reports said child was killed and four others injured no word of warning we're going to show you
11:12 am
some disturbing images coming up here but what happened there this video appears to show one of those injured in the attack the first bomb went off during morning rush hour just outside the girls' school i guess was goes on the way to classes that students from a neighboring boy's school then gathered near the scene when the second explosion happened and went off with this is say the casualties were students hit in that second attack a tactic known as a double tap no group claimed responsibility as of yet but the taliban islamic state of previously targeted the region all schools as a matter of caution of now been closed in jalalabad for the time being let's talk to muslim. afghan parliamentary can't discuss his latest yet more violence in your country year after year this goes on. what's going to happen here the talks about bringing the taliban in trying to we're by the way we don't know who carried out these explosions yet we think we probably know who's behind it but they haven't come forward what is the way forward for your country in some sort of peace
11:13 am
while it looks like that afghanistan as as we see in documentary said the name of the went out and then the war and now it is we see in my country is going like this every day is a kind of suicide attack from the north to the hairs to the capital of kabul to the everywhere so in this case it will be see this tragedy is going day by day and for sure there is no a kind of sign that we see it. optimism to defer to the future of the country what's the main problem here as a guy living in your pro country as you see it what is the main problem here we've got we've had talks recently with the taliban in cats we've heard u.s. defense secretary james mattis recently saying it was hopeful peace talks will bear fruit but as i say year after year this goes on what's the crux of the problem just trying to recap for our viewers while i think the afghanistan situation now is when we see it is going very complicated and the game is like something that he
11:14 am
currently is going to do their own agenda because i don't think there will be a kind of peace process and there will be a peace settlement especially where more than six months remain from the actual afghani government you you saw the new report of the u.n. and then about food thousands of people killed that insured in the last four years so in this case i don't see any kind of sign of peace process and the question is when you talk to the taliban and the world you're kind of settlement with the taliban what do you do with i s i is now these bomb blast i'm sure that their world accepted very soon as they accepted before from this province which afghan people said all the way is surprising but now it's always bad i mean you're running for parliament you're a candidate running for parliament what good do you think you could bring to. your country if you were in charge you know but if you were what would be the next sensible practical step forward as you know it does remain about forty five minutes for forty five days for the upcoming parliamentary election and according to law it
11:15 am
is not something that i am going to advertise myself and this show back to sort out your bad indeed in case of my country your world your kind of law and the impeachment of these ministers years incredible. deer are not capable they are not that kind of do responsibility it for a sequel of the after afghanistan and if we did it people is going to kill even in kabul in the north of afghanistan in east and west and everywhere today is seventeen years as we just mark since those awful events of nine eleven there was the whole war on terror before the being born afghanistan before that but it really kicked off in two thousand and one did it most recently as any good come of as anything has any practical way forward come from the war on terrorism as the us sees it with regards afghanistan your country regretfully no because when we see the years we last talked with our with an afghan friend he told me dad there is a kind of our center to the strategy of us and west for being in afghanistan and
11:16 am
they are also staying in a situation that they know don't know we are going so in this case i think the situation is very complicated as i mentioned before there is a kind of very very complicated situation afghanistan and it needs to a kind of comprehensive agenda for peace and security could be any. year you are a young guy you want the best for your country. do you see any hope on the horizon any time soon in the next year or two that maybe talks will bring parties warring parties together or not i am always saying we have. done being hopeful mad regretfully this scenario which is going on in afghanistan every day we say this is a question in our mind should we. we pursue mystic or should we be optimistic which kind of optimism when you saw everett dear the young generation like me they were going to abroad they are coming for example in here moscow and didn't go to europe
11:17 am
and they go from to get to the europe and they have no future and in this case i'm telling the as a kind of uncertainty in the future of this special young generation afghanistan and there's a big question in the mind of everyone especially me that what is going on in this country how you can convince president gannon you listed what any interview would there what are german newspaper that there is a kind of idea and the mind of afghan young generation that the streets of germany is paved by gold no this is not the case this is not a dancer this is not the convention convents afghan people and young generation because there is no gold but there is no side bomber was living well all we can do is hope for better of course hope will always bring the press you'd hope. after parliamentary candor thank you for your thoughts and be with us today given this your home thoughts are to speak. come up here seventeen commiserated it is personal in moscow powerbrokers business is america's a major pacific influence is there all in front of us talk for the first day of the
11:18 am
eastern economic forum we'll get you up to speed on what they're talking about the rest of the news right after this ninety second break. 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 development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. seemed wrong. rules just don't hold. any belief yet to shape
11:19 am
out these days become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. guess they may have seen in that little box as we often do we got a live news event streaming from our news agency want to bring you the live event this is what it is me tell you about it live pictures from barcelona spain where a large rallies currently taking place hundreds of thousands of catalans are expected to fill the streets of the city of the spanish region to commemorate one
11:20 am
here now that's another anniversary since its government declared independence big turnout there you can see the decision has propelled the country into the most severe constitutional crisis though since its return to democracy after the death of francisco franco all those years back a key motive for this year's event are yellow ribbons you can see it for yourself representing nine politicians and activists currently still awaiting trial for their role in that independent so that's happening in barcelona right now looks peaceful but say big turnout so we'll maybe get back to that little bit later just to explain what you're seeing the bit in the boxes posted. next. the leaders and business executives from across the asia pacific region of gathered in russia's port city of lagos stopped for the eastern economic forum one of the most remarkable events so far has been a meeting between chinese leader xi jinping and russia's vladimir putin it looked very much that they enjoyed each other's company by all accounts what we got here
11:21 am
them. the two leaders visited a far east themed exhibition they gave the cooking skills a whirl whipping up some pancakes together and then eating there with caviar delightful and then the meeting didn't pass off of course with a lighthearted exchange over the bill. at the. beginning of the song. i was not really. going to lose you it's. going to do what it was working with but. only if you're just really wanting to do good. but there was some time for some business as well president putin and his chinese counterpart xi jinping but holding closed door talks and one of the topics was the support of national currencies of other things a correspondingly pre-trained chasm or. key messages. saying.
11:22 am
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 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
11:23 am
there is every sign that russia and china will continue to act as a team players on an international and global scene. sexism at the highest levels of tennis continues to rage following through to williams' few areas. during a defeat in the u.s. open final many a rally behind the number one. others have turned. i'm
11:24 am
here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff in for me to say the informatic again it made me feel like it was a sexist remark i mean like how he's never seen again from a man because i said. news outlets and celebrities are backing williams insisting she wouldn't have been treated so harshly maybe if she were a man and that male players of more aggressive. the women's tennis association is also throwing its weight behind the start to today the w.t. believes that there should be no difference in the standards of tolerance provided
11:25 am
to the emotions expressed by men versus women and this 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 last colors ramos the empire in question is no for his tough approach not just towards women at this year's wimbledon quarterfinal you want a male player for throwing his racket to the ground in twenty sixteen he penalised may recall and the mari for his remark of stupid umpiring women's rights advocate emery service and social commentator and city brian logan joins us to discuss the fallout from the williams incident now. 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 a sports you get first ration 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
11:26 am
of a rope defect a 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 fresh straight up 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 if she can say date she d.n.c. to guy given to signal ok it is fine it was just a warning there was no penalty that is 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 had to first violate second violation you should be kind of just train noise and easy times you see a.b. go in a do it too much else to question you have to ask here is have these other guys a she made scene had a first violation second violation didn't continue to act up or did he say ok i got a calm down now here i did i can't go anymore and indication. the definition of
11:27 am
coaching requires that she actually receive the communication which she did not she didn't see it and even her coach said that he did say no decisions during the game i'm glad she didn't hear it so then there is going to be any sort of violation because she didn't receive it so there's no need for the first with the second one people throw rackets all the time john john mccain row through racquets and curse and 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 for him her it's really unacceptable and it's really disgusting that there's been such a campaign against her and i really concerned that we have an issue even with the midnight car caricature 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 was with origin last march early it's
11:28 am
a naomi osaka so i mean was the sixty's a more they made her lose dad or did you does happen to stare square because he on this kind of adds aren't having a child and they're really well is that she wasn't ready very well and this and she took this play very well in their first match today daryn strong where she also lost. the conversation went much as they say in the tennis world the throne of so far from moscow thanks for watching. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shore and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of an. old maid just manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the room in
