actually as a financial survival. let's say i'm a. thank you for. the story that's right. the. poisoning. is nothing special. yes definitely civilians. are the russian defense ministry say terror groups in syria. approved. video to be sent to the un. historic moment.

parliament votes to trigger an article. against. ratification by e.u. member states. rights within the. moscow to the world this is international my names you know me welcome to the program russia knows the identities of the two men suspected in the script poisoning case but moscow has confirmed no action will be taken until britain makes some official request. speaking at the eastern economic forum involving said the men being identified as civilians. reports from their. 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 washington we've seen the pictures we know who they are we found them. hopefully they will turn themselves in and will tell everyone about themselves there's nothing special or criminal and you are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians last week exactly six months after the attempted murder in salisbury british prosecutors named two suspects as russian nationals alexander petroff and bashir if 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 also took a chance to speak to alexander shulgin russia's representative to the organization

for the prohibition of chemical weapons now he believes this. was a provocation aimed at disrupting russia's presidential election which occurred back in march. because. for all 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. due to the occasions capable of. feeling can not so blinded by russian propaganda the statement was a very poor was it to. evaluate to. burke to march this year russia was hidden for the presidential elections. we have been preparing we had been preparing for the world cup. do the russian you do something like these

absolutely not the commission is or who. didn't need to these kind of two are no events and they aren't so use of the. opponents of the russian federation those who are trying by all means are to do new great leadership and actually slow up new sanctions on the russian for the duration it was an attempt to influence. the course of the russian presidential elections all them all saw against the background all the claims sold the russian meddling and the american election. moving to another headline stories this hour the european union is hitting one of its own members with disciplinary action the e.u. parliament has voted in favor of triggering article seven which could see hungry

sanctions if european leaders all agree to the measures it follows that hungary and prime minister viktor orban being criticized within the block 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 all 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 upon 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 its a you colleague saying that in their eyes they need 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 and says 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 have envisaged themselves

their family member staff rents from public funding from utopian taxpayers' money less alexian is this then you cannot close our eyes to the problems in handily the elections this year were held in an atmosphere. 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 a victor or 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 it all 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 l d a 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 obama well he 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 tarion grip of the european union was getting tighter but ultimately what this means is hungry officially joins poland on the naughty list of nations expect to be talking about them for a little while yet peter all over there in government has already reacted to the photo denouncing it as a fraud on the revenge of pro migrant politicians independent journalist lucrative

aide told a certain political forces believe this is their last chance to stop the advance of populism in europe. the left is furious israeli aggressive to an incredible point as well as the liberals the globalists because they know it is their last chance to obtain that populist sop punished somehow the list grows longer you have the austrians you have the italians it didn't work it won't work and all day do is fit to mind old bon bon 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 who was a green party activists from all and is israeli a piece of work and it's really incredibly aggressive in its content and she didn't

even go to hungary to make this report this bullying will go nowhere you know article seven will never be applied italy austria poland 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 that's the thing. meanwhile. philibert his final state of the union speech he's previously announced he won't seek another term as european commission president a successor is slated to be appointed in may next year in his address to summarize the results of this ten year we put something together to. this is the last chance commissioned by that 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 that. it. was. in. english. 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 union. now there's been a significant breakthrough in the case of missing internet privacy activists i encounter vs a close associate of wiki leaks says julie innocent police have a nonstop demands belongings have been found in this 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 are you in compass so 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 songe campus worked closely with wiki leaks in the past his online accounts said he was a free software advocate 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 that 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 a warning to julian assange some speculation that maybe all this is just a deep cover assignment for weeks spent for now though police are still combing that area of sea off the coast of norway trying to establish what happened to him.

russia's reconciliation center for syria has a ninth that militants in it lip province have staged and filmed nine faults flying chemical attacks the center added that the terror group's leaders have approved two of the videos to be sent to the united nations on the chemical watchdog the o.p.c. w. while the rest will allegedly be distributed on social media i discussed the claims earlier with artie's done the organs. the sudan the russian defense ministry on choose they were confident they say that preparations were being made by terrorists and no there appears to be an update on that as well give us a lot of information has been coming in dribs and drabs over the last twenty four hours the russian reconciliation center for syria part of the russian ahmadi have claimed this is a false flag operation by formulas for front recognizes terrorists by washington and moscow according to undeniable information from the russian reconciliation center for syria on the eleventh of september filming groups of various middle

eastern t.v. channels and a regional branch of an american news channel filmed nine staged scenes of alleged chemical weapon used by the syrian army against civilians on all videos the alleged victims are helped by activists of the civil defense the white helmets following the filming on the evening of the same day at a joint meeting between representatives of the white helmets and terrorists from sham out of the nine videos on the two were approved to be sent to the us and the o.p.c. w. the rest of the material was suggested for social media because of low quality. the incident according to them will take place in quite close to college so cool remember the incident there led the first strike on syria by donald trump. is the village the residential area where the storage point allegedly is for these chemicals and this is where the filming took place just slightly to the south east

of that now according to the russian ministry of defense the videos have been filmed nine of them in total several of which will be sent to international organizations such as the u.n. the c.w. news outlets others according to the reconsideration center will be distributed on line not what will they feature they will feature a chemical weapon attack what helmet rescue was treating these alleged victims which include men women and young children at a special trauma center set up in in the region now we haven't yet of course seen these videos we don't know whether they are online or not the cording to the russian or moody they have been filmed and they will be distributed in the coming hours or days dulles moscow's claims are finally give us a sense of the type of consequences we could be looking at here well the consequences will be serious either way of course moscow has a very potent position to that of the united states moscow has said damascus does not possess chemical weapons they say that even if that was the case they would be

no logic in assad using chemical weapons and drawing the wrath of the u.s. and its allies in a military strike ability intervention this is of course led to clashes between envoys at the u.n. security council russia iran and assigned or down the line are demolishing in lead and asking us to peace. 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 let's not waste time with the december mation does. actions and outright lie. it is claimed the president bashar al assad gave the order to use chlorine the syrian authorities are 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 we have asked the pentagon for comment to see if there are they

are aware of these claims if there is any truth in their opinion to what's going on we're still waiting for a response what is clear though is the u.s. position they've been two minds about this if there is an allegation of chemical weapons use suspicion of chemical weapons use number one it will be attributed to the damascus government and number two the repercussions will be clear and strong just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly 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 and done if a chemical attack does happen is the west unified in terms of an immediate response against the assad government give us a sense of what we're looking at here or i think the world is unified certainly in condemning any chemical use on either side here what we're talking about is how to

respond as you just mentioned to allegations of a chemical weapon attack position is clearly that it should be thoroughly investigated independently verified and blame attributed before there's any sort of military strikes or military intervention the u.s. with some of its allies views that actions should be taken much quicker although that opinion isn't necessarily something unified. western powers that they can listen to and that the minister of state will give us two issuances today first that if there are any reports of chemical weapons attack particularly in the areas of control play h t. yes that the government will not take part in any military action in response until the you 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 labor party's only form calling for independent investigation

verification and warning against using open source material to justify military strikes and intervention whatever happens with this story with these allegations it's very clear one thing here that any allegations any threats or any suspicion of chemical weapons use could be the spark that causes these military tensions and it's clear that situation is very tense right now that does cause why the action here that is the concern here certainly by the russian minister of defense. daniel hawkins explaining this story to me earlier well the coeditor of b s news mike ravi's sees the west is already after getting blamed before anything has actually happened. 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 the electronic hasn't even happened but

blame has already been apportioned so you know 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 will three or the final world wars we should be called and they're not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government of president assad they're addressing the al-qaeda proxy armies al qaeda affiliates in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own air strike or you need to do is provide a pretext however lame that 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 qaida and its affiliates in italy. the american president today signed a new executive order that or through rice's sanctions against foreigners failing to be meddling in u.s. elections let's cross live now to see your account who's in washington d.c. as well for more high security so what does this measure by the white house

actually entailed. well according to reports the executive order will authorize sanctions against states and actors accused of election meddling so that's foreign companies organizations or individuals as well now possible sanctions could include blocking assets cutting off access to the u.s. financial system and banning people from entering the country now with midterm elections coming up this seems to be trying the trumpet ministrations latest effort to prevent election meddling in november but the order did not specify any countries in particular apparently because a multiple countries will be trying to influence the mid-term election including russia china iran north korea and all of these countries have one thing in common they all present a challenge to u.s. national interests now john bolton national security advisor said that sanctions

might explicitly target foreign companies and organizations that distribute propaganda and fake news to an international audience now the us government has found several international news organizations guilty of spreading propaganda including r t so that's something to think about and who will be in charge of determining who exactly is doing the meddling the director of national intelligence now these are the same guys who issued a report back in january of twenty seventeen that found not only russia but our t. guilty of spreading propaganda and influencing the two thousand and sixteen election in trump's favor so with all these factors considered it's still not possible to determine what exactly is going to happen but we certainly have an idea you have thanks for breaking that done for us this hour. live in washington this hour. a so-called. teaching or

a bic and more schools are being proposed in fronts as ways of watching this spread of radical islam there among some of the measures put forward by a think tank come as the government considers its own moves short of dubinsky gauge reaction in part is to the latest suggestions. 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 society 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 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 education system the idea is that by 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 it won't fire them by speaking arabic. 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 would be interesting to learn this language of school i'm not for it i don't think it's going to chant anything learning several languages good anyway i don't think every kids should learn arabic to do one wants and as you say twitter helps the think tank also suggest creating an official and independent. islamic province with the idea that it could help stamp out any underground fundamentalism.
