really becoming very. kind. of. donald trump signs an executive order allowing the u.s. to impose sanctions on any individual or governments that models and it's elections that also covers anyone spreading what washington deems to be dissent from nation. putting reveals that russia has identified the man that britain's the bags carried out the north agent attack on the scribbles it's nothing special or criminal and us those are the. yes they are definitely civilians. the russian defense ministry claims the militants and syria's adlib province have filmed staged

chemical attack and selected videos to be sent to the un and circulated online. coming to you live from the russian capital this is our to international welcome to the program. the u.s. president has signed an executive order authorizing sanctions against any foreign governments or individuals found to have smuggled and u.s. elections donald trump says the move will allow for quick forceful and proportionate response is to any external interference he added that i had of the midterm elections americans can rest assured that the administration is working to counter for threats with more on the development here is some air con and washington. the 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 influence a us election but he signed the order anyway. there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome of. any united states election for him voters have historically sort 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 important to point out that the sanctions 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 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 political analysts with spoke to raise concerns about the potential implications of done trumps executive order. the problem with this is that the so brought the propaganda into disapprobation stipulations mean and how you determine that it's really really question. that it really has an impact on the first amendment it really has an impact on freedom of speech and freedom of press i mean it really really could

be determined in a wide open determination interpretation of of who to target and so it really sets a dangerous precedent i think and if anything it undermines the whole wonderful under the whole foundation of our democracy that it still are the behaviors are the prohibited actions are those intended activities spelled out accurately enough and with specificity and if somebody who is honest a good to a reporter from a country or a whoever wants to read this is that i want to comply with these wolves how do i comport my behavior so that i don't inadvertently stray from this there's got to be tougher tougher with what i say should be tougher with more definitional. letterman putting a revealed on one say that moscow has identified to the two men suspected by the

u.k. of poisoning this cripples with a nerve agent back in march the russian leader is speaking in light of osce doc said that the alleged headsman are civilians and not criminals and you have to train call reports this is an absolutely groundbreaking follow up for a lot of our pows two last week statements 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 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. two

suspects as russian nationals alexander peds 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 groundbreaking compared to what we

heard from london last week and now i guess once again it is their turn to say something. that no action has been taking against of the suspects because britain has not made a formal request with spoke to. representative to the organization for the prosecution of chemical weapons about the case and he told us that this crippled poisoning was a provocation aimed at the russian presidential election in march. called the brief for the member states of the chemical convention in the quarter so they will place your w. and georgian by very through three action coming from some to be gay sions it least. capable of. feeling can not so blinded by russian propaganda the statement was

a very poor positively. evaluated. burke to march this year brochure was here done for the presidential elections. we have been preparing and we had been preparing for the world cup. do the russian you do something like these absolutely not the question is are who. did they need to these kind of two are no events then the answer yes' or the. point. 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. personality claims that militants and syria's adlib province of state stenciled a chemical attack which they intend to blame on president assad's forces moscow sells their fighters will send some of the footage to the united nations and circulate the rast on social media you know neal discuss the allegations what dana 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 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 stage 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 higher terrorism 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 quite close to call show 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 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 all 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 will agree intervention this is of course led to clashes between envoys at the u.n. security council yacob but it also is claimed 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 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 action 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 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 you have visited sites under the protection of the turkish government independently verifying those reports and distributed responsibility for any chemical weapons used who are lying in so-called open source intelligence provided by 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 that it 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 pentagon has responded to moscow saying there is no evidence to support russia's claims about the white house and double down on its support for the group saying washington sees their first responders as heroes journalist mike ready told us that the west will attribute blame for aiming chemical attack and led to this they were in government regardless of the circumstance. but only to wait for evidence they don't need it we need to wait for an investigation is 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 striker or the lead story 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 and what were three or the final world wars we should be calling the not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government of 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 air strike 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. the e.u. is testing one of her cell members sweat disciplinary action the european parliament has voted as an favor of triggering article seven which could see hungry saying sent if you are opinion leaders all agree to the measures that follows the hunger in prime minister viktor orban being criticized with around 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 but it's more like it's 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 the 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 it's 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 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 members deference from public funding from utopian taxpayers' money that's alexian is this then you cannot close our eyes to the problems in handling lost the elections this year were held in an atmosphere of aggression and

intimidation and that 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 recognise 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 don't want. you have already made up your mind you think you know better then durrance 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 adopt holt's with think differently about the absence 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 freed 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 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 that side with mr obama well you could always rely on nigel fairish the leader of the european freedom and direct democracy greenpeace long been a supporter of mr obama he said that this vote shows the. herion 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. behind erin government has already reached to the vote denouncing

it as a fraud and the revenge of prom migrant politicians and abandoned or. told us certain political forces believe that this is their a 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 while the list grows longer you have to also 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.d. who was a green party activists from all and is is really

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 problem of level so they are afraid of the next parliament after the may elections that's the thing meanwhile john clarke you graham has the liver of his final state of the union speech has previously announced that he won't seek any other term as european commission president and successor is slated to be appointed and may next year and i say in his address summarize the results of his tenure well we'll put something together. this is the last chance commission either we will succeed in bringing our citizens

closer to europe or we will file. a member of the european commission's papers migration is the medicine for certain problems for us that's poison me you know. what. i would expose myself in for slowly but english is. good so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically a stupid process. i

have a little black book called le petit maurice 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. following a spate of mysterious incidents that the u.s. has lost some of its diplomats and cuba and china with brain injuries as being reported that america's intelligence agency think now that they know the costs are fixed 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 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 workers that the u.s. embassy in cuba will fall victim to mysterious symptoms they experienced headaches vertigo had trouble sleeping and apparently suffered 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 applaud 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 . top down and. it's only conjecture that. not just measure. the embassy as i know. and the only suggestion that this might be due to microwaves evolves a lowlevel sound effect which people speculate might be due to my crew is that it's just purely speculation that there is anything at all gotten my who is this case i

can't conceive the microwave weapon as is be thought about in this case but who cares for scientific evidence right not this republican senator for sure kaura gardening is so scared by this phantasy 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 unfair i've heard this helps. you're watching are an international the latest news are coming your way writes at the top of the hour. appearing into the abyss the syrian arab army is determined to liberate did live

and to eliminate the terrorists in their first essentially ending this international proxy more the u.s. and its regional allies are dead set against this why is the trumping ministration siding with terrorists. and twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no lawyer i mean your list book video of clue in the new bill is that i'm spoiling the total of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter you have over one trillion

dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one showed to me the one and only. use.

i'm afshin rattansi and you're watching a special edition of going underground from the international steel city of sheffield coming up in the show. we speak to sheffield. about the u.k. government hostile foreign policy and hostile environment from libya and yemen all grieve and as the trades union congress celebrates its one hundred fiftieth anniversary today we go to the site of the battle of all green where ten thousand of office goggles and u.n. miners were attacked by thousands of police following the lord mayor's appeal to home secretary sajid javid we speak to the general secretary of the and a minor arrested on that day. that's all coming up in ten days edition of going underground well i mean the lord mayor of sheffield's office and with me is the lord mayor of sheffield well beth thank so much for letting you know i'm going to. ask you. how come you here there are pictures of the first lord mary

sheffield william jeff gold a rather mining company. you. and you know what is honestly is me being lord mayor is such a celebration of the so many of the people as it is about me with be a mother who made sacrifices of the friends who granted me and so the people of sheffield who really put their faith in me and chose me to be the lord mayor so it's it's just amazing i kind of feel as if like i am just merely a reflection of sheffield at the moment and it's just i mean i generally do feel privileged and honored to hold this position but then with something that happened the past forty eight hours one of your many initiatives on mental health would have you been yes each month i choose a campaign to focus my attention kind of really saw campaign so july was the whole anti trump rally and advance him coming to the u.k. and.
