values with its tough immigration policies. by their live news and analysis twenty four seven this is r.t. international i'm calling break good morning to you it's wednesday day here in moscow let's start with your top story this hour russia's u.n. envoy has clashed with his u.s. counterpart during a security council session on syria russia's insisting on the separation of terrorist from the rebels to resolve the crisis which is coming to a head in a province. coexistence with terrorists is impossible those are all branches of al qaeda which we've been fighting since the terrorist attacks in two thousand and one and from whom we can expect the worst attacks imaginable. we welcome the opportunity to discuss the prospects for a diplomatic solution in syria but let's not waste time with the disempowerment distractions and. outright. deescalation zones are temporary measures this should

be either a local police or a counterterrorism operation pressure iran and a stand on damage are demolishing in lead and asking us to call it peace. is claim that president bashar al assad gave the order to use chlorine this eerie north or if these are not going to do that they do not have chemical weapons i ask you again to listen to us it would not make sense for damascus to use chemical weapons because it does not have any political or military reasons to do that it would be an invitation for the western countries to launch an attack on syria which they're threatening if chemical weapons are used. and moscow's been warning of a possible false flag chemical attack by militant fighters and says it's designed to frame damascus and provoke a large scale foreign military intervention russia's defense ministry claims that the filming of a staged attack has already begun the russian military says the self-styled rescue group the white helmets are involved in the video meanwhile the white house had

been posting on social media about their efforts to save civilians then hawkins takes a closer look at the fears of a potential chemical attack. the russian ministry of defense has been warning for two weeks of a possible false flag operation by militants in using chemical weapons a red line for the u.s. and its allies according to the russian military that possibility became clearer sight of local residents in the town of the sugar they claim camera crews on site have recorded footage of an alleged chemical attack by the syrian government including video of what helmets rescuers treating supposed victims the footage says is to be sent to numerous channels imminently to justify a u.s. led military intervention the us department of defense hasn't yet responded to us directly with comment on these claims although the u.s. has made their position clear they mowe uncertain terms just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very

strongly he would have syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it we urge the international community to collective efforts to and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use that all sensible people will not 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 but that would be a concern of ours and. we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of radical terrorism and

extremism is. a back and forth of accusations without cia sions the us has been clear that any. the use of chemical weapons will be attributed to the assad government and will result in military action moscow's claim that damascus has no logic in drawing the wrath of the us military on themselves has been dismissed as a distraction tensions in the liberal pro-choice boiling point and anticipation of a government offensive against terrorist and rebel groups it's clear that any incident involving allegations of chemical weapons could be a spark for the outbreak of all out conflict between multiple parties we spoke to an aid worker in aleppo who says the west coast more about his own goals than the fate of syrian civilians. for me i believe that america also my country u.k. and all the countries i've been involved in the world today didn't want to see the war getting all over so i think what they're fighting for is not at all you need to save to see or to date to like humanitarian risk but to not lose the

war so i think this is the main purpose this is the big problem because that moment will be over of course the syrian army will move under not under note is the american army the french army and recently do italian army so i think that today must have political speech not at all about they're about to maintain the war at all price and what may happen maybe but that's because not only it will be the light but it will be terrible for all the syrians today which just what they recite are never trained to imagine that tomorrow will be over that we can stop it this people are preaching that they are here to say this is not true. from now we're a so-called tax of more arabic courses in schools are being proposed as ways of watering the spread of radical islam the measures are part of a report released by a french think tank ahead of president mccraw reform plans for the country's large muslim community but

a shot to do bensky explains the ideas are fueling even more division. here's a reminder over the ambitious promise president made to lawmakers a few months ago the total reform of islam in france and with the groundwork in place by the autumn. there is a radical and aggressive interpretation of islam that sets as its goal questioning the norms and laws of our free country and free societies by autumn we will clarify this situation by giving islam a framework and rules that will guarantee that it is practiced in accordance with the laws of the republic so far it's only words but continues to chew over how to bring in those changes help is that turned a liberal think tank them or taking institute has released a report with its own suggestions it is essential to have an alternative muslim religious discourse in french that is parallel to the mainstream discourse

prevalent on social networks today meaning the salafist discourse france must equip itself with the means and important networks to disseminate this counter-narrative who can do that only muslims the report also has some concrete suggestions about how to achieve this one is to incorporate arabic into the educational system the idea is that by offering arabic in schools fewer children would find themselves in dubious institutions linked to settle a fee indoctrination to radicalization a great idea or not people here in paris sure. it's not going to fight anything the terrorists who remain terrorists the one five them by speaking a rabbit. i don't see why we can't learn arabic is a very interesting language and it would help us to open ourselves to the people we meet on a daily basis i work in a hospital and i mean a lot of people who speak arabic we need to have translators you know be

interesting to learn. this language of school i'm not for it i don't think it's going to chant. learning several languages good anyway i don't think every kids should learn arabic to do one. and as you say twitter helps the think tank also suggest creating an official and independent muslim association for islamic fronts with the idea that it could help stamp out any underground fundamentalism but it suggests the funding for such a body should come from a tax on how love food products earned the services for muslims yet again that hasn't gone down well with everyone. not for the prices keep on rising and rising it's a crisis we don't know if this money will really go to help muslims it's now just politics in our religion if you can find food that is you can still eat just not pork you just need to pray for what you are reading you can eat almost anything you

want so i don't think it's a solution if it's. not too much. and make sure you find your food everywhere. else for taxes the funds are used properly then why not we need to look at the possible advantages it could help some groups of people division both suggestions from the report may have merit thinking that he's bitten off more than he can chew especially with the fact that recent polls are hardly sliding in the president's favor one carried out by a doc said this week found that seventy one percent of respondents now thought negatively of him and when it comes to how his government is handling terrorism previous polls showed that more than hoff that they weren't doing enough many are waiting with bated breath to see how much will keep those promises over here but

the early signs are not. positive charlotte altie paris we discussed radical islam and reforms to tackle it with a french lawyer and a political activist. i look at this with interest yet one of the projects to try to introduce even more arabic in schools and colleges i don't think that this communal attitude is consistent with the principles of secularism we need to regulate in moms who come from abroad and we need to close down the mosques that cause problems least we also need to stop illegal immigration. this report risks irritating the very people concerned french muslims and foreign citizens who live in france and who are also muslims because it does go into storage debates within their community second there will be debates with others for example with those who are inclined towards islamophobia unfortunately this will strengthen their beliefs and their will not bring about a spirit of national unity and social cohesion. hungary risks being stripped of its

right to vote on e.u. affairs the european parliament will decide on that later on wednesday it follows an angry debate in strasburg in which prime minister viktor orban tried to defend his tough tough stance on migration which is a new critics insist breaches of the values of the union are on that now from our europe correspondent peter oliver. the european parliament came together in strasburg on tuesday for a plenary session on what to do about hungary and whether article seventy measures will be put in place on budapest what article seven essentially means is it's the ultimate political naughty step in the european union it strips all could strip and suspend the voting rights of hungry in the e.u. institutions essentially taking away their voice in the in the well the european family there were lots of allegations made against victor or ban his government and the nation of hungary listen to

a few of them now sadly the commission shares the concerns expressed in the report in particular as regards fundamental rights corruption the treatment of roma and the independence of the judicial individuals into government have envisaged themselves their family member staff rents from public funding from utopian taxpayers' money less alexian is this that we cannot close our eyes to the problems in hungary the elections this year were held in an atmosphere of aggression and intimidation in the garion prime minister viktor orban was in stroudsburg to hear those allegations he was bullish in his response to what you have already made up your mind i stand here to defend my country and this is a matter of honor this insults the honor of hungary this uses double standards and violates the treaty as it says in our poll you want to make a moral decision based on numbers the nation be damned. over vote on whether to

sanction hungary will be on wednesday afternoon after the state of the union address by zhang cloyd younker and not vote well it could be very close a lot will depend on how the european peoples party group within the e.u. parliament on how they vote mr or bonds own party is a member of that group the no. foreign leaders though whose party is a member of that group in the european parliament it could be austrian chancellor he said he fully expects his members of the european parliament from his party to vote in favor of sanctions against hungry but mr off on did have some friendly voices in the room on wednesday even if they did use the opportunity to push their own agenda somewhat but it's not just your country that's been insulted today you've been insulted today so i have to be able logical cover enjoyed the break up you love it. so where the state set to be a very busy day the state of the union address by john claudio first and then votes

on whether article seven measures will be put in place against hungry i'll be bringing you all of it here on r.t. peter all of it i will hungary one of the countries along with italy and austria that refusing to take in any more asylum seekers political commentator i came out told us that he believes the hungarian prime minister is being unfairly treated by the e.u. the accusations are absolutely insane because there are one is trying to stick to the law stick to the agreements they all and now accusing him to violate these agreements is alerts for the most. key issues. of the union and. it is probably the trillion horse x. make you enter you to get to explode. a growing number of white south african farmers heading to russia after facing the loss of their lands back

home we'll have the details on that for you after this quick break. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wait to be 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. the senate has taken up with obama. he came down and he was a nerd. he was the. course it was like oh yeah you know

medicare for all be great but we're just. going to ask the something. you're not progressing. welcome back south africa's president is trying to diffuse fears that the country could face sanctions over the expropriation of land from white farmers in july he announced constitutional changes to enable the government to seize latin from the white minority community without compensation the proposed reform immediately resulted in a backlash and was described as discriminative by the bush however the president said it would undo a grave historical injustice that took place during the colonial era he maintains

the white farmers currently own more than seventy percent of land in south africa. while the amendment process continues some of the farmers have found an unlikely solution here in russia but in a culture of a met a south african family looking to resettle. andrus maddow stand grows of tree. a typical landscape and central russia this is where we're heading and it's exactly the same place that might become the new home for hundreds of south african farmers after almost three hours of driving we finally god to this farm and what we see here is just vast amounts of land. where. when you take. your seat you can get a new get out that this is a quality to generations of the do twa family have

a arrived in russia to see the farmlands that could be their future and after visiting here in the kaluga region they will have to south and russia they still feel that south africa is their real home but dire circumstances are forcing their hand and russia is offering them an olive branch we experience the pain in the hurt family members who have suffered ourselves if suffered crime i've made the decision that my children will not have to face that on a daily basis we've had family members who have been murdered we have had family members who have and friends who have had what they had stolen we have suffered crime it's a daily reality that is not what i want for my children the white farmers of south africa have long been complaining of discrimination and they now live in fear that the state could pass laws to seize the lands they've owned since the seventeenth

century and return them to the local black population without any compensation while the bill is still being debated some farmers including the do twat family have their mind sat in a preemptive move if the government starts saying that we. take land without paying for it because what has happened many centuries ago my children will not pay for the sins of their forefathers in johanna's case russia was not a random pick three years ago he met his wife daria who is from russia he followed his wife to her native siberia and says that he falun laugh with the country straight away i myself believe that there is a future in russia for my family personally give me a siberian winter rather then a summer in the kalahari desert i do not question i'm already reporting from the cougar region. the u.s. senator claims the f.b.i.

has been leaking information to the media on purpose the apparent strategies come to light thanks to newly revealed text messages between former f.b.i. officials among meadows' insists it was a coordinated effort by the f.b.i. and the justice department to release information harmful to donald trump and morgan report. in the times of trump mainstream media just lives for leaks three people familiar with the intelligence ultimately people familiar with the components or says close to mccain former officials knowledgeable about the situation tell c.n.n. but are the leaks all just part of a bigger game now according to republican senator mark meadows he has proof that there was a coordinated effort by f.b.i. agents and members of the d.o.j. to leak information regarding the alleged trump russia collusion this is the letter he sent to the department of justice i will review these new documents raises grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic coach a media leaking by high ranking officials of the f.b.i. india a.j.

related to ongoing investigations so what's the documentation well we've got messages from peter strock former f.b.i. special agent to his mistress lisa page an f.b.i. attorney who just happened to be working on the bob muller investigation peter strong actually lost his job after messages he sent to lisa paige were made public those messages were politically charged and revealed that the couple wasn't exactly fond of donald trump trump not ever going to become president right right no no he won't stop it now here's some glaring examples from those messages that were included in meadows letter to the d.o.j. p. two stroke context lisa page to discuss a media leak strategy specifically to take says i had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you i want to talk to you about media leaks strategy with d.o.j. before you. congratulations page on a job well referring to the rogue trio it's about a cause

a page in the text stroke patients who are schools are coming out one which is worse than the other about lisa's namesake stroke i did well done page a media strategy interesting now the attorneys representing peter struck say it's not what it sounds like it's actually simply a strategy for stopping the leaking of an authorized information from the administration while the f.b.i. has been caught leaking information to reporters before they've been caught red handed let's not forget that former f.b.i. director james comey actually made it to the senate intelligence committee that he leaked information about a conversation he had with donald trump to a reporter i understood this to be my recollection recorded of my conversation with the president as a private citizen i felt free to share that sort of very important to get out and there's james call me is second in command andrew mccabe now he also got the can he was fired for leaking information to the wall street journal about the clinton foundation investigation so is this leaking strategy actually intentional in

hurting the administration there's certainly some information that points in that direction you have the worst case scenario where the government's own security agency the police department of the government is trying to maintain the power of the current administration and even after they've lost that power they're trying to undermine the new administration you have all these scandals that are just happy to accommodate these leakers and and put out information that's dangerous to the country in certainly dangerous at least to this administration there way too many people inside our government that are happy to to leak the information out to these these badly behaving media outlets so the next time you hear the words persons close to the investigation or in. form sources think where this media linking strategy might lead next caleb mop and archie new york guy that should use for now

thanks for choosing artsy color braille have your next update in just about half an hour from now see that moment. when the whole make is manufactured to be sentenced to public wealth. when the running club says i'm protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the room six. million more you leave the room. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of
