president putin reveals that russia has identified the suspects that britain says carried out the script. there's nothing special or criminal. are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians. russian defense ministry says terror groups in syria. approved staging a false flag chemical attack video to be said. and the story moment in brussels earlier e.u.

parliament voted to trigger an article that could lead to sanctions against one of the majority decision would see under losing its voting rights within the block. i gave me at six pm in moscow when i was kevin zero in this is out international live first russia identified the two men suspected in the script. but. no action will be taken until britain makes an official request president putin said the men have been identified as civilians while speaking at the eastern economic forum but if i start from where the 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 we

finished 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 we spoke to alexander shogun russia's representative for the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons he believes this group was a provocation aimed at disrupting russia's presidential election back in moscow. because briefings for the member states of the chemical convention in the quarter

so the office of w. and georgian by the very through syria action coming from some to be gay sions italy's. did a geisha capable of. feeling can not so blinded by russian propaganda the statement was a very poor positively. evaluated. burke to march this year russia was hidden for the presidential elections. we have been preparing we had been preparing for the world cup. and do the russian you do something like these absolutely not the commission is who. didn't need to these kind of toronto events and they aren't so use of the. opponents

of the russian federation and those who try by all means are to do you agree its leadership and actually slap new sanctions on the russian for the duration it was an attempt to influence. the course of the russian presidential elections all the more so war against the background all the claims sold the russian meddling in the american election. or also top of the headlines today continue to follow day by day it's almost become a week by week now and the potential of what could be happening in syria and there is some more to tell you about there russia's reconciliation center the syrians announced that militants in the province of now they say staged and filmed the false flag chemical attack reported on with yesterday's extra developments to tell you that the central terror group's leaders have approved to the videos now to be sent they say to the. un the chemical watched on the o.p.c. w. or the rest allegedly be distributed on social media dad or his we're talking about

this whole awful scenario potentially twenty four hours ago there was this kind of deadline that was mentioned then about maybe these videos should be coming out to the media twenty four hours ago nothing's happened as yet but bring us up to speed with where we are and what the russian military is saying today sure well the latest updates are coming from the russian reconciliation center for syria based on a claim effectively arm of the russian ministry of defense they claim this is a provocation by a tiny little shell formally recognized as a terror organization both by moscow and by the u.s. and its allies something they can agree on as we said yesterday there was a filming process that has been completed apparently over the last twenty four hours and as you mentioned there the russian allege that there have been line of videos produce of which will be sent to organizations such as the u.n. the o.p.c. w. and the rest will be apparently distributed on law and other sorts of scenes these

will include. scenes of the white helmets rescue group treating allegedly wounded casualties including young children even according to the russian immediately setting up a trauma center for this to happen we've got. quite an interesting amount of detail coming from the russian who do you hear certain thing to look at they've even named the villages in the live where this will really happen tough as they are for the buddha and come up. again the only source we have for this right now is the russian reconciliation center for syria will be very interesting to see if these videos do merge or not of course and that presumably will fight over the next twenty four hours or the consequence is that if it turns out that this is all true what i mean the u.s. has made their position very clear they've always said that chemical attacks on the red line if assad is to use chemical weapons and they have made clear they will attribute any responsibility for chemical weapon used to the asset government there

will be military consequences this is what the u.s. line has been. just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly. forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for really. 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 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 this should just 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 us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of rebranded terrorism and extremism when you think about the actual thing we're talking about. chemicals being used as a bluff or even worse if not bluff if there is a chemical attack or it's alleged that there has been a chemical attack one of the consequence is going to be is the west united in their response there or is there some dissent these days and there was or more maybe has been put into this of course there's two sides and multiple opinions to every story as we know there is some consensus among western nations of course that assad. is a dictator is a war criminal that has committed war crimes and must face consequences specially if chemical weapons are have been used as has been alleged by the united states and its allies nevertheless there is another war if you hear as well that any alleged use of chemical weapons must be fully investigated and must be independently

verified by a professional organization such. as the o.p.c. bubble of the un etc before jump the gun and with more military action is taken as the military action we saw just a few months ago cruise missiles launched against syria by donald trump there is certainly there are certainly those the more they do exist really form where you hear of the labor party express the very clear in parliament take a listen. at the minister of state will give us to insurance is today first that if there are any reports of chemical weapons attack particularly in the areas of italy controlled by h.t.s. that the government will not take part in any military action in response until the who have visited their sites under the protection of the turkish government independently verifying those reports and attributed responsibility for any chemical weapons used relying on so-called open source intelligence why did my prescribed terrorist groups is not an acceptable alternative you think it

a bit of verification would be much to ask but the u.s. has made clear nikki haley from observing that any chemical attack will be attributed almost in advance to our side without any proper investigation to summarize here again these sources are coming from the russian military in syria will fall out over the next twenty four hours or so presumably whether these videos do exist whether they've been published where they're going to be sent all the way this won't help the tensions around of course the massacres forces massing for military operation there in the hardest groups in the area refusing to surrender to negotiate there is a stalemate here any talk of chemical weapon use any threat of chemical weapon use any allegation of chemical weapon use will only bring tensions to a further boiling point. down where we're watching carefully and thanks for bringing us up to speed again today on what the russian side say thank you. we also spoke to coeditor of a b s news might rather he says the west is already

attributing blame before any potential chemical attack. they don't need to wait for evidence they don't need it we need to wait for an investigation they surely don't need to wait for o.p.c. w or any other agency to apportion blame they're already blaming the syrian government they're already saying that president assad has authorized the chemical weapons strike so that you know the strike or the alleged strike hasn't even happened but blame has already been apportioned so you know what what can we say apart from there it looks like very likely there's going to be a big strike and this could lead to obviously this could lead to a conflict with russia and what were three or the final world wars we should be calling they're not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government or president assad they're addressing the al-qaeda their proxy armies al-qaeda affiliates in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own airstrike or you need to do is provide a pretext however lame the pretext maybe give us something we can sell to our publics back home and we'll have the cruise missiles in the air so that's the

message is the message is directly to al qaeda and its affiliates in italy. european union city one of its own members of a disciplinary action the start of anyway so after the e.u. parliament voted in favor of triggering something called article seven which could see hungary sanctioned if european leaders all agreed to take the measures forward it follows the hunger in prime minister viktor orban been criticized in the blog for breaching european values over the migrant crisis. this is certainly one of the strongest weapons in the arsenal for the e.u. to deal with an errant member of its own group what it's more like is really like opening one big box and finding a series of other boxes inside essentially where we are right now with article seven point one for this to move any further well it would require either one third of e.u. member states or the e.u. commission to say they want to push ahead with further measures against hungry.

hungry would be given a chance to defend themselves to put forward their own case and then this would go back to another vote in the european parliament that would require a two so majority vote then that would go to the european council where it would have a unanimous vote you still with me right this is still seven point two for it to actually go through and we to see sanctions in the. suspension of voting rights put in place a pawn hungry it would have to go to seven point three that requires another vote by the european council and that has to go through by a vote of over fifty five percent essentially what's happened on wednesday in strasburg is this is the the official written warning to hungry from a you colleague saying that in their eyes and needs to book up its ideas they've tried talking to hungary in the past and they haven't as far as they're concerned received adequate answers to serious questions that were posed in parliament on

tuesday 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 judiciary individuals into government f. and rich themselves their family members staff rents from public funding from utopian taxpayers' money less election is this then you cannot close our eyes to the problems in handily the elections this year were held in anatomy. of aggression and intimidation and. the reason i went through the complicated methods of where we were heading next is because a lot of where we head next depends on hungary and specifically on viktor orbán now he was in parliament in strasburg on tuesday heard all of the allegations against him and against his government he was bullish in his response in fact he said he didn't recognize the charges and he thought that the fact that they were being in bring brought against hungary in the first place was an insult to hungary in

history and the hungarian people. you have already made up your mind i stand year to defend my country and this is a matter of honor this insults the honor of hungary this uses double standards and violates the treaties it says in our points you want to make a moral decision based on numbers the nation be damned. well reaction to the vote has been coming in from the air the. group in the european parliament they said they were glad to see that this had been passed the greens also saying that they were glad that it had gone through those on the side with mr orbán well you could always rely on nigel fairish the leader of the european freedom and direct democracy groupies long been a supporter of mr obama he said that this vote showed the off the authoritarian grip of the european union was getting tighter but ultimately what this means is hungry officially joins poland on the naughty list of the e.u.

nations expect to be talking about them for a little while yet you know you're of course one of the liberal scholars the epicenter of it brussels there patiently independent journalist. there was a pretty much of widespread applause from a lot of those m.e. pays when this vote went through does that mean they're hungry is in real trouble here or is it just more of a nearly side over a slap across the wrist here what's the real feeling he is hungry an unwelcome neighbor these days. well yesterday's debate was astonishing to me because the senior vice president of the european commission was determined months used real insults he treated mr orbán of a coward to use the word twice he said that the ship comes through the mock received referring to other of hitler comparing orban to hitler the vice president of the european commission can you imagine such insults that's incredible so far as

straightened it and fired at mr timson months but the debates was strange to me in the sense that the left is furious is really aggressive to an incredible point as well as the liberals the globalists because they know it is their last chance to obtain that the populists are punished somehow the polls all the hunt galleons but the list grows longer here is a cross is allianz yet. how they're hungry goes so far the only country is yet how they let hunger is to one hungry person it goes out of line so out of the family because it is only going to whip hungary back into abide by the rules isn't it is going to work. it didn't work it won't work and all day do is fit to mind or plan or plan will be reelected certainly one time comes with a big majority because he's a victim of europe the worst that europe can produce we heard yesterday and today

today it was less important vote happened and that was it but the report produced by mrs sargent teenie was a green party activists from all and israeli a piece of work and it spread incredibly aggressive in its content and she didn't even go to hungary to make this report she only rely upon sources like mr george soros and his friends so really it's it's incredible this bullying will go nowhere because your journalist explained you know article seven will never be applied italy austria valon will refuse of course that this be applied at council level if not at the parliament level so they are afraid of the next parliament after the may elections and that's the thing look good leave it there thanks for that. from brussels thank you now the belongings of the missing wiki leaks associate may recall the story about nine days ago being found at sea in norway it's a pretty bleak story too we'll tell you about it after the break.

what politicians do. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president one should. want to be. you two going to be pros that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first city. dennis kucinich was taken up with obama's plane he came down and he was a convert to obamacare he was the last man standing course bernie sanders was like oh yeah you know medicare for all be great but we're just going to. progress and

we're going to progress to something some point you're not progressing. as far east next day to with the largest military drills in the country since one thousand nine hundred eighty one big thing this more guys it is the vostok twenty eight is gold with the army showcasing its best. days to a football still two thousand and eighteen will games and we found ourselves in russia's far east with this is to

a pitched battle it simulates on the one hand you have detachments of russian ed the feds fending off a simulated determined and advanced enemy which is being represented on the battlefield by. down the mid-south and they're throwing everything they've got the russian cruise missiles jets as well as. the russians offending them off. and defense is a complicated business because lots of cooperation between various units because everything is happening so quickly projectile to travel to the kilo but there's a second so everything has to happen quick.

and in a big major rapidly evolving technology the technical requirements asa via you need different types of radar to detect different targets whose results sitting around would hit and they could be operating over different frequencies serve different ranges in different weather conditions difficult to get the movie to work to get the ball spoke two thousand and eighteen will gain for the biggest threat that the russian military in decades and decades this is about gives you a look at various detachments of the russian military navy yard and the air force to work together because it's one thing having it knowing how to use all these expensive toys it's entirely is not actually using them. for significant breakthrough the case of a missing internet privacy activist so you can post a close associate of wiki leaks eunice song police say they now have found the

man's belongings they think in the sea off the norwegian coast. the police nordland was notified by a local recreational fisher that he had found some belongings floating in the sea near the shoreline the belongings are confirmed by the police to belong to the missing person or you can put the location of these items appears to be fairly close to the town where i encountered first was staying and where he was last seen on the twentieth of august when he checked out of the hotel there in the town of bodo he was a dutch citizen and he was in norway on holiday as i said and he was meant to leave the hotel and take a train to another town ten hours south of the town where he was staying in order to get a flight from there but he never got on that flight and that's when friends and family started getting worried and started expressing their concerns about his whereabouts there are now dutch investigators in norway helping with the

investigation and i think his disappearance is getting more media attention because of his close association to julian assange camp he has worked closely with wiki leaks in the past his online account said he was a free software advocate that he was an i.t. security advisor and he'd also written a book about investigative journalism as well he did media appearances as an i.t. expert i think you'd see pictures of him talking to r.t. on your screens as well but still a total mystery really what happened to him police say they're still trying to work out if there was an element of criminality involved they're not sure about that yet but of course the internet being the internet there's already wild speculation especially from the wiki leaks supporters about what may have happened to some at the moment pretty baseless and wild theories perhaps that he knew too much that he

may have been taken out by some secret service for his links to julian a son. others say maybe this is all moving to julian assange some speculation that maybe all this is just a deep cover assignment for weeks he leaks but for now though police are still combing that area of sea off the coast of norway trying to establish what happened to him is still such a mystery is that no further forward really it's twenty six minutes past six o'clock moscow time this wednesday evening thanks much more door to door comms covance and by for now but with more in thirty four minutes. with lawmakers manufacture consent to public will. when the

ruling classes project themselves. with the right. wing or middle of the room. seemed wrong but i. just don't. get to shape our disdain. and indeed from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
