donald trump signs an executive order allowing the u.s. to impose sanctions on any individual or government that meddles and its elections that also covers anyone spreading what washington deems to be dissent formation. lattimer put in reveals that russia has identified the suspects that britain says carried out in the script poisoning is nothing special of criminal and it is not just are these should be leaders. yes they are definitely civilians. the russian defense ministry claims a terrorist and serious problems have filmed

a stage chemical attack and selected videos to be sent to the un and circulated online. coming to you live from the russian capital you're watching r t international welcome to the program. the u.s. president has signed an executive order also rising sanctions against a new foreign governments or individuals found to have smuggled in u.s. elections or were washington correspondents in munich on the details but order will authorize sanctions against entities charged with election meddling this applies to a company's organizations and individuals now if they impose these sanctions will block assets limit access to the u.s. financial system and ban people from entering the country now in the order trump

admitted that no foreign power has ever successfully influenced a u.s. election but he signed the order anyway. there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome of vote tabulation in any united states election foreign powers have historically sought to exploit america's free and open political system now it's also important to note that the order did not specify any country in particular because the director of national intelligence thinks russia china iran and the d.p. r. k. are all trying to influence the midterms but it's also point out that the same issues will also be imposed on anyone accused of spreading propaganda and this information and the authority to determine who's been meddling has been granted to the director of national intelligence the state department the treasury department homeland security and the justice department with forty five days to do so the government to also has the power to block the property of anyone that's been

complicit in foreign interference assisted those complicit in foreign interference or acted on behalf of anyone complicit in foreign interference so with all of these factors considered it's impossible to predict what exactly will happen. to discuss the story and the more details let's now cross live to the executive vice president of the eurasia center earl rasmussen welcome to the program so saying sions can be imposed on anyone involved directly or indirectly and sponsoring or assisting election interference is this in your opinion is this executive order a necessary step or a dangerous development. my purse it's a dangerous development. border it's so large and we've got you know first of all let's let's look at how many countries we meddled in their election interfered the list goes on and on. the but then we've got countries out there

that are technically our allies that are contributing a lot through our political. contribution system that have perhaps a very heavy hand in employ and things are all much more than any type of eavesdropping or monitoring or or. news releases or something the problem with this isn't so broad the propaganda and the disapprobation stipulations mean and how you determine that is really. really questions. it really has an impact on the first amendment it really has an impact on freedom of speech and freedom of press that really really can be determined and a wide open to terminations interpretation of of who to target and so it's really sets a dangerous precedent i think and if anything it undermines the whole under under the whole foundation of our democracy and in itself. now you mention the possible

employee cache implications for freedom of speech could you think that this order could be mis applied here. absolutely. the proper you know what you're saying the propaganda and this information phrase could could be easily misinterpreted easily misinterpreted. and words that dissent could be oh so in dissent so in dissent from ation on it may be actually factual it just doesn't necessarily go along with the proposed narrative that's out there the official narrative that it's being promoted. now the american public also won't find out about the sanctions until they are imposed as they lack is this see a lack of transparency and we're talking about as not a cause for concern. i think it is i think. you

know it's again unfortunately don't know what kind of sanctions are going to be imposed if they are going to be imposed it's going to impact people lives investments on businesses potential potential. and then how do you interpret. this information. from a different narrative how do you interpret. shuji contributions through lobbying groups that are basically influenced heavily by multiple different countries could be could be from south america could be from israel it could be from. you know from saudi arabia could be from any country that have their own lobbying groups here that have a direct impact on on policies and think tanks and everything else i mean that's to me it's just as dangerous in the in the potential. medaling of the information

and democracy democratic principles and why do you think president trump signed this order now what have been the driving factors. i think you're getting close to the election obviously i think he's getting huge pressure from both inside his own cabinet as well as congress congress doesn't feel these sanctions go far enough. and i think. you know there are. they're concerned i think the american public is upset for the most part of the direction the country should go and i think they realize that a lot of things that are being told are not necessarily that. we're not getting the help through what i did a story we need to control the narrative of how do you do that you know you threaten sanctions you. you basically have to essentially that's what this

executive order doing it to controlling the narrative controlling not just the you know not just changing abode which is never happened in the u.s. but it's actually. the narrative that's being debated out there that may be counter to the official direction or picture word of the government or a political party all right thank you so much for and signed that was earlier rasmussen executive vice president of the eurasia center. but i'm important revealed on wednesday that moscow has identified the two man suspects hosted by the u.k. of poisoning this crap also with a nerve agent back in march the russian leader is speaking in light of all stocks said that the alleged hit man are civilians and not criminals and yet the tranquil reports this is an absolutely groundbreaking follow up for a lot of our pows into last week's statement by british authorities on the suspects

in the script all case the russian leader says that moscow now knows for sure who the two men are here is what exactly mr putin said we should mention we've seen the pictures we know who the we found them hopefully they will turn themselves in and will tell everyone about themselves there's nothing special a criminal and you get actions are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians last week exactly six months after the attempted. novacek. 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 who 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. moscow has said that no action has been taken and against the suspects because britain has not made a formal request with spoke to alexander szell again russia's representative to the

organization for the proficient of chemical weapons about the case and he told us this crippled poisoning was a provocation aimed at disrupting the russian presidential election back in march. because briefings for the member states of the chemical convention in the quarter so they will place your w. and judging by very through three action coming from some to be gay sions it least. they did a geisha capable of. feeling can not so blinded by russian propaganda the statement was a very put positively and. evaluated. back to march this year russia was here done for the presidential elections. we have been preparing and we have been preparing for the world cup and do the russian you do

something like these absolutely not the commission is a who. did they need to these kind of two are no events and they aren't caesar the. opponents of the russian federation those who are trying 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 told him also war against the background all the claims sold the russian meddling in the american election after the break we examined the russian military claims that some militants in serious province have staged a chemical attack you're watching arts international do not go away.

when the u.n. was founded it was meant to serve as a forum for dialogue and conciliation the chillun into a u.n.

security council meeting and instead of robust debate you often see accusations and allegations of diplomats just playing to the cameras as the u.n. really become a hostile environment. welcome back in the russian military claims that militants and say where's province have staged a chemical attack which they intend to blame on president assad's forces moscow says the fighters will send some of the footage to the united nations and circulate the rest on social media you know neil discussed the allegations with danielle hawkins. so dan the russian defense ministry on tuesday they were confident they say that preparations were being made by terrorists and now there appears to be an update on that as well yeah that's right 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 helmets and terrorists from sham out of the nine videos on the two were approved to be sent to the us and the or b 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 the dallas notes those claims are finally give us a sense of the type of consequences we could be looking at here well the consequences will be serious all of the 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 or intervention this is of course led to clashes between envoys at the u.n. security council jacoba but it is also it is claimed the president bashar al assad gave the order to use chlorine to 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 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 what is clear though is the u.s. position they've been in 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 again 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 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 the minister of state will give as to insurance 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 you have visited 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 prescribed 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 brannigan has responded to moscow saying there is no added instance the poured washers claims about the white house. down on its support for the group thing washington sees their first responders as heroes journalists my granny told us that the west will blame for any chemical attack an adlib to the syrian government regardless of. circumstances but only 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 is authorized to 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 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 the not addressing the syrian arab army they're not able to dress in the syrian government of president assad they're addressing the i'll call it a proxy armies i'll call it a really it's in italy but effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own airstrike all you need do is provide a pretext however lay in that pretext lately give us something we can sell to our publics back home and we'll have the cruise missiles in the so that's the message is the message is directly to al qaeda and its affiliates in italy. following a spate of mysterious sense a dense that the u.s.

has allowed some of its diplomats and cuba in china with brain injuries as being reported that america's intelligence agency says think they know the cause r.t.c. carstone effects planes intelligence agencies investigating attacks on u.s. diplomats in cuba and china now strongly suspect that russia is to blame that there is some place of blame or at least looking seriously at russia n.b.c. news reports that u.s. officials consider russia the prime suspect in their investigation into a mysterious attacks on u.s. diplomats in cuba there's a new trend and it's been a buzz since march the american medical association published its findings about twenty one work is that the u.s. embassy in cuba will fall victim to mysterious symptoms they experienced headaches vertigo had trouble sleeping and apparently so. but from auditory hallucinations the head of the team that compiled the report later said the likely culprit was

a microwave weapon now multiple reports suggest that the u.s. intelligence suspects russia orchestrating the attack but apparently journalists got their hands on new details before the state department there is no known cause no known individual or group believed to be responsible at this time we are looking into it our position has not changed the investigation is ongoing we have not assigned any blame and we continue to look into this i want to be very clear about this in fact the initial scare over weaponized energy in cuba is being waved out of the window the f.b.i. investigated the mystery but found no trace of a malicious plot both the u.s. and then u.s.s.r. are known to have pursued the type of weapon described in the initial report but as of now though by kuwait device capable of deep frying the brain is known to exist for many scientists actually talk like this is akin to flat earth theories kind of

distracted speak talked about on with the embassy is really a theory it's only conjecture that might reduce or involved at all not just measured waves in the embassy as far as i know and the only suggestion that this might be due to my crew is that it's always a low level sound effect which people speculate might be due to my crew is that it's just speculation or anything at all on my who is this case i can't conceive. as is thought of doubt in this case but who cares for scientific evidence right not this republican senator for sure kaura garden is so scared by this fantasy weapon i urge the senate to pass my legislation requiring the state department to consider the designation of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism well mr gardiner if you are still in fear i've heard this helps. you're watching our hunter national will be back with more news right
