russia's u.n. envoy clashed with his u.s. counterpart over syria with russia again insisting on separating the terrorists from rebel forces. 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 let's not waste time with the december mation distractions and outright lie more of it classes in green 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. shouldn't we have the impression that us threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritized the task of changing

dissident regimes above the common goals of rebranded terrorism and extremism is. a back and forth of accusations without cia sions the us has been clear that any 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 destruction tensions in a liberal approach in 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 a french aid worker who lives in aleppo he says the west cares more about its own goals than the fate of syrian civilians for me i believe that america also my country u.k. and all the countries in the world today don't want the war getting all over so i think what. fighting for is that all you need to save to see and. to eliminate data

like a humanitarian risk but to not lose the war has been living like nearly three years in aleppo and the war has been terrible so i think that is the main was this is the big problem they're preaching that they are here to safety against this is not true . to france now where the so-called tax and teaching more arabic courses in schools are being proposed as ways of courting the spread of radical islam the measures are part of a report released by a french think tank but a shot to do benson explains the ideas are fueling even more division here's a reminder of an 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

the 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 while not corn continues to chew over how to bring in the changes help is that turned a liberal think tank the more tame 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. offering arabic in schools fewer children would find themselves in

dubious institutions linked to settle a fee indoctrination radicalization a great idea or not people here in paris sure. it's not going to fight anything the terrorists will remain terrorists the woman fired 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 would be interesting to learn this language of school i'm not for it i don't think it's going to turn to . learning several languages good anyway i don't think every kids should learn arabic the do one wants 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 fundamentalism but it suggests the funding for such a body should come from a tax on how love food products earned other services for muslims yet again that hasn't gone down well with everyone it's not fair 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 all you can still eat just not pork you just need to pray for what you are eating so you can eat almost anything you want so i don't think it's a solution if it's. not too much it's all right to. make sure you find food everywhere. as 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 do this. both suggestions

from the report may have my thinking that these be no 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 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. auty paris. in a debate about the plans here are to get reaction ranged from calls to close to scrutinize emma mosques through to fears that reform and risk further alienating muslims in france. i look at this with interest 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 that we need to regulate the moms who come from abroad and we need to close down the mosques that cause problems least we also need to stop illegal immigration but 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 and 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. but the breaking news for you president putin says he knows who the two suspects in the scriptural poisoning case if the government starts saying that we can take land without paying for it because what has happened many centuries ago my children will not pay for the sins of the forefathers and to hannah'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 fell in love 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 summer in the kalahari desert i do not question him our reporting from the kaluga region i'm going to face is being frozen out of decision making off the enemy pays bold to the country's tough migration stance we'll have the details on that for you when we come back.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. want to be. right to be close it's like the three of them or people. interested in the long.

probably. ex make the new e.u. to get to explode. 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 senator mark meadows insists it was a coordinated effort by f.b.i. and justice department officials to release information harmful to donald trump kind of morbid report. in the times of trump mainstream media just lives for leaks three people familiar with the intelligence ultimately people familiar with the components sources close to mccain two 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 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 you sent to lisa page 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 contacts lisa page to discuss immediately 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. peter congratulations he's a page on a job well referring to two zero three articles about 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 it out and there's james call me 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 are dangerous to the country in certainly dangerous at least to this administration are 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 leaking strategy might lead next. art see new york. ok let's expand on that breaking news we brought you about ten fifteen minutes ago or so president putin says that the suspects named by britain over the script poisoning have been identified by russia he was speaking at the eastern economic forum in vladivostok. forest. hi there did the president expand on those comments. calling well as we remember it's been almost six months since the poisoning attack in salisbury and just last week came an absolutely ground breaking statement from the u.k. government they named the two suspects that's what they called them in the script

poisoning case and now rather unexpectedly there has been a follow up at the eastern economic forum in a lot of wall stock and here is what the russian president said. you know who they are and we found them. and you see i mean i hope that they will. turn out themselves and will tell everyone about just how sick it is nothing special nothing new criminal they are here and this is your speech or. other civilians. yes they are civilians. so once again i just like to point out that the russian president has said that moscow knows exactly who the two people are like to point out that according to the russian president they are civilians and he expects them to come forward and

explain everything now just to remind you once again last week the u.k. a thorough. named two suspects in this group all case as russian nationals alexander petroff and the sheriff and claimed that they are members of the russian intelligence service former russian agent screwball and his daughter yulia were poisoned with the nerve agent in salisbury back in march the incident was immediately blamed on russia and led to an enormous fallout in relations between london and moscow. ok so i guess we'll find you course in their own words about all this no reaction yet from britain as to whether they're going to make any use of this information for now though a lot of also thanks for that. thanks for watching on t international just up to twenty eight minutes past ten here this wednesday morning i'll be back and i often feel next news update hope to see that.
