just to look for common ground in the. in twenty four you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or here. is. the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. president putin reveals the russians identified the suspects the britain says carried out the script poisoning as nothing special or criminal. are these civilians

yes they are definitely civilians russia's un envoy clashes with his u.s. counterpart over syria with russia again insisting on separating the terrorists from rebel forces in the east 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 glance not waste time with the december mation distractions and outright lie and hungary could be stripped of its voting rights after being accused by any piece of breaching european values with its tough immigration policies. by their is just after midday in moscow this wednesday the twelfth of september i'm calling bright out here in the world news this hour first to update you on president putin says the suspects named by britain over the script have been identified by russia he was speaking at the eastern economic forum in vladivostok

for a way to try and i reports. this is an absolutely groundbreaking follow up from vladimir putin to last week's statement by british authorities on the suspects in the script case the russian leader says that moscow now knows for sure who the two men are here's what exactly mr putin said to me from ashton we've seen the pictures we know who they are we found them. hopefully they will turn themselves in and tell everyone about themselves there's nothing special or criminal. are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians last week exactly six months after the attempted murder in british prosecutors named two suspects as russian nationals alexander and. they also pointed out that these days

could have been fake another claim was that the two men were active members of russian intelligence now here's the evidence that london put forward it was basically a summary of the men's movements around the u.k. . so these comments by the russian president are no less groundbreaking compared to what we heard from london last week and now i guess once again it is their turn to

say something. russia's u.n. envoys clashed with his u.s. counterpart during a security council session on syria russia's insisting on the separation of terrorists from the rebels to resolve the crisis which is coming to a head in italy. just goes to coexistence with terrorists is impossible these 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 december mation distractions and outright lie deescalation so into temporary measures this should be either a local police or a counterterrorism operation russia iran and i stand are down the line are demolishing in lead and asking us to current peace. it is clear in the

president bashar al assad gave the order to use chlorine this syria north or it is not going to do that they do not have chemical weapons and i ask you again to listen to us it would be an invitation for the western countries to launch an attack on syria which they're threatening if chemical weapons are used moscow has been warning of a possible staged chemical attack by militant fighters in a province which is the last terrorist stronghold in the country and says it's designed to frame damascus and provoke large scale foreign military intervention russia's defense ministry claims that the filming of such an assault has already begun it says the self-styled rescue group the white helmet are involved in making the video of the group's been active on social media as well posting what they say is the result of government airstrikes on it don't know 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 libya using chemical weapons a red line for the u.s. and its allies according to the russian military that possibility became clearer

sites and local residents of a town of two that i was sure of a claim camera crews on site have recorded footage of alleged chemical attack by the syrian government including video of what helmets rescue was treating supposed victims the footage mode. he says it has 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. through an 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 support collective efforts and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain

resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use them all sensible 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 but that would be a concern of ours and this should 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 use of chemical weapons will be attributed to the acid government and will result in military action moscow's claim that damascus simply has no logic in drawing the wrath of the u.s. military on themselves has been dismissed as

a distraction tensions in the liberal pro-choice boiling point and anticipation of a government offensive against terrorists 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 who 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 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 that all you need to save the syrians in a limbo or to eliminate data like 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 this is the main purpose this is the big problem they are preaching that they are here to safety and this is not true. a so-called taxon teaching arabic in more schools are being proposed in france as ways of forcing the spread of radical islam

there among some of the measures put forward by i think tag and come as the government considers its own moves child to do better he's been gauging reaction in paris. 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 says 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 and radicalization a great idea or not people here in paris sure. it's not going to fight anything the terrorists will remain terrorists it won't fire them by speaking arabic. i don't see why we can't learn arabic it's 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 it would 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 islam in france 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 and 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 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 food everywhere. else for taxes the funds are used properly then why not we need to look at the possible advantages it can help some groups of people division over both suggestions from the report may have my thinking that is 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 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 so let's all see paris in a debate on r.t. france reaction ranged from calls to closer scrutinize a mamzer mosques through to fears that french muslims will only be further alienated. 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 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 communities 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. and great risks being stripped of its right to vote army of affairs the european parliament's going to decide on that later on wednesday and follows an angry debate in strasburg in which prime minister viktor orban tried to defend his tough stance on migration which is a you critics insist breaches the values of the union here's 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 viktor orban 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 european 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 that area and prime minister viktor orban was in stroudsburg to hear those allegations he was bullish in his response on what you know you have already made up your mind what you think you know better than durance themselves i stand here to defend my country and this is a matter of honor this insults the owner of hungary this uses double standards and

violates the treaty it says a halt with thing differently by the essence and purpose of the family and we do indoors ready clee different views and migration these differences cannot be a reason to brand any other countries and for reid to be excluded for joint decisions we would never go as far as silencing those who do not agree with us you want to make a moral decision raise the numbers the nation be damned over vote on whether to sanction hungary will be on whedon's they are. to noon after the state of the union address by showing claude young 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 obama's own party is a member of that group another foreign leader though whose party is a member of that group in the european parliament is the best in 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 installed 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 to be able logical cover enjoyed the brics you love it. so wednesday set to be a very busy day the state of the union address by young 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. . meanwhile european commission president john ford's own code has delivered his final state of the union speech which he used to summarize the results of his tenure we put something together as well. this is the last commission either we will succeed in bringing our citizens closer

to europe or we will fail. in the european commission's papers migration is the medicine for certain problems for us it's poison me to think. that. i will expose myself in front. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically a stupid process. i

have a little black book. with for the past thirty years i have noted when someone has betrayed me. is this the beginning of the end of the european. i next the senator who says he's got proof that a high level leaks to the media to deliberately undermine donald trump. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig 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's plane came down and it was a bird. course it was like you know medicare for all of the great but we're just. going to pass the something. progressing.

hello again a 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 as kind of open reports. 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 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 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. peter struck congratulates lisa page on a job well done while referring to two zero three articles about caught a page in a text stroke warns patients who are schools are coming out one which is worse than the other about lisa's namesake struck out it 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 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 can take land without paying for it because what has happened many centuries ago my children will not pay for the sins of the fall fathers 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 fallon luff with the country straight away i myself believe that there is a future in russia for my family personally gives me a siberian winter rather than a summer in the kalahari desert i didn't question him our team reporting from the cougar region and that's the news for this hour across talks next in the battle for aleppo.

my body told me that i belong with the board but my thoughts my mind with that i'm along with the girls. under the surgery starts to be a very popular. football person's doctor. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this. my problem should have gone away from him by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at him he's just gone oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders is impossible. is delusional it's

a mental illness. this is now one of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman chris she was taken out of from a. good whole existence to something you can. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. more so more want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first city to. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that.
