reveals that russia has identified the suspects that britons. poisonings is nothing special. and are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians. also in the headlines this hour the russian defense ministry say terror groups in syria is. approved staged videos showing false flag chemical attacks to be sent to the u.n.

. day historic moment in brussels the parliament votes to trigger an article that could lead to sanctions against one of its own ratification by member states could see hungry lose its voting rights within the bloc. just after eleven pm here in moscow this wednesday night welcome to r.t. international good to have your company in an o'neill we will get to those headlines stories in just a moment but first news coming in the white house released a new executive order that says sanctions against foreigners found to be meddling in u.s. elections the sanctions will target anyone attacking election infrastructure or distributed. being propaganda or mis information at we will of course bring you

more all try to translate little bit of vague language as to what that actually translates to at with our washington d.c. correspond similar account she'll be coming up in minutes here on the program. russia say it knows the identities of the two men suspected in the script poisoning case but moscow us confirmed no action will be taken until britain makes an official request for the speaking at the eastern economic forum and talk said the men had been identified and civilians reporting from there here's a trunk with more. this is an absolutely groundbreaking follow up for a lot of our pows 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 should mention 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 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 pad 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 well we also spoke to alexander russia's representative to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons now he believes this case was a provocation aimed at the scripting russia's presidential election back in march. because the brief for the member states of the chemical convention in the quarter

so the opposition w. and georgian by the very through three action coming from some to be gay sions italy's. due to the occasions capable of. feeling can not blinded by russian propaganda the statement was a very poor was it. evaluated. burke to march this year brochure 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 question is who. did the need to these kind of two are no events then the answer use of the. opponents

of the russian federation those who are trying by all means are to do new great 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 and the american election. ok moving on russia's reconciliation center for syria has a ninth that militancy in the lip province have staged then filmed nine false flag chemical attacks the center of it but the terror group's leaders have approved two of their videos to be sent to the un and the chemical watchdog the open sing w. while the rest will allegedly be distributed on social media i discussed the claims earlier with artie's daniel hawkins. so dan the russian defense ministry on shoes

they were confident they say that preparations were being made by terrorists and now there appears to be an update on that as well give us what i mean information's been coming in in dribs and drabs over the last twenty four hours the russian reconciliation center for syria part of the russian id have claimed this is a false flag operation by former ells 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 helmet and terrorists from higher terror sham out of the nine videos on the two were approved to be sent to

the u.s. 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 call show cool remember the incident there led to 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 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 polar 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 yacob but also he's claim the president bashar al assad gave the order to use chlorine to syria north or if he's 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 let's not waste time with the december mation distractions and outright lie we have asked the pentagon for comment to see if there are they are aware of these claims if there's 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 wall 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 the unified. western powers that they can listen to and that the minister of state will give as to insurance is today first

that if there are any reports of chemical weapons attack particularly in the areas of it live 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 distributed responsibility for any chemical weapons used relying on so-called open source intelligence why did my prescribe terrorist groups is not an acceptable alternative 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 the does cause why the action here that is the concern here certainly by the russian minister of defense. the coeditor of b s news mike romney also told me that the west has already computing blain before anything has actually occurred.

but 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 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 all the electronic hasn't even happened but blame has already been apportioned so you know what more 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 what will three or the final world wars we should be called in the not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government or president assad they're addressing the proxy armies i'll call it a really it's in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own air strike all you need do is provide a pretext however lame that pretext may be give us something we can sell to our public spot 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 has signed a new executive order that or through rice's sanctions against foreigners following to be meddling in u.s. elections west cross live here account in washington d.c. he has been going through it i'm just been looking at some of the action here as well senior dents perhaps even vague language translates some of this if you will what is it actually entails. well the same person who's accused of being a foreign puppet has declared foreign interference a national emergency saying quote given the intensity of the threat of foreign interference as illustrated in the twenty seventeen intelligence community assessment i donald trump president of the united states of america hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat now the executive order will authorize sanctions against states and actors charged with election meddling this

also applies to. companies organizations and even individuals these sanctions if imposed will block assets limit access to the u.s. financial system and ban people from entering the country now with midterms coming out this seems to be the administration's latest effort to prevent the meddling of but it should be noted however that the order didn't specify any country in particular because apparently multiple countries will try to hack the elections possible perpetrators have been identified as russia china iran and the d.p. r. k. and what do those countries have in common well they're all viewed as threats to u.s. interests sanctions will also target target companies or organizations accused of spreading propaganda and just information and who will be in charge of determining who's been doing the meddling well the director of the national intelligence state department the treasury department of homeland security and the justice department with forty five days to do so so with all of these factors considered it's

impossible to predict what exactly will follow but we certainly have an idea thanks for breaking that down for a serious american live in washington d.c. . the european union is hitting one of its own members with disciplinary action the e.u. parliament voted in favor of triggering article seven which could see hungry sanctions if european leaders all agree to the measures it follows the hungry 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 air and 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 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 a you colleague saying that in their eyes and it's the book of it's 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 chairs 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 taxpayer money less alexian is this then you would not 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 had 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 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 house and some 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 freed to be excluded for joint decisions we would never go with for a silencing those who do not agree with us you want to make a moral decision based on numbers the nation be damned. well reaction to the photos being 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 gone through those on the side with mr obama 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 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. well the hungaroring government has already reacted to the vote denouncing it as a fraud on the revenge of pro migrant politicians independent journalists lucrative a toll a certain political forces believe this is their last chance to stop the advance of populism in europe and the leftists 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 to punish 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 t.t.u. 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 thing with things europe younger house livered 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 younker summarize the results of his tenure and we put something together to. this is the last chance commission i that we will succeed in bringing our citizens closer to europe. and the european commission's papers migration is the medicine for certain problems

for us it's poison me you know. what. i was. in for. 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. there's been a significant breakthrough in the case of missing internet privacy activists on campus a close associate of wiki leaks is julian assange police have announced that the man's belongings have been farmed 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 push 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 songe campus worked closely with wiki leaks in the past his online accounts 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 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 wiki 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. how all turks teaching are a book in more schools are being proposed in front of ways of curbing the spread of radical islam there are some of the measures put forward by a think tank the government considers its own moves sharla do gauge reaction in

paris to the latest suggestions here's a reminder over them bishops 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 the changes help is that turned a liberal think tank the mortagne 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 fronts 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 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 find 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 who 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 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 attacks 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 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

important 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 it's all right to. make sure you find food everywhere. and it's 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 over 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 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. paris. in a debate on r t fronts reaction ranged from calls for closer scrutiny of a mom's mosques to fears that french muslims will be further eliminated. 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 in moms who come from abroad and we need to close down the mosques that cause problems 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.
