move and what would you look like your because that's when your life was turned upside down in a moment in just one day and changed our lives this story has been in the headlines since march but it's only about a week ten days ago that these two faces these things appeared in media in public discourse released by euchre authorities these men certainly resemble those in c.c.t.v. images released by u.k. police they have confirmed they. follow exotic petroff that they were in the u.k. on those days they were on those c.c.t.v. images a lot of digging a lot of journalists trying to do some some news hound work trying to track them down in the end they came forward voluntarily they made a phone call to margarita simonyan our editor in chief and voluntarily decided to answer some of the key questions i'm sure many people would have had about what exactly happened on those days and they exam this is the t.v. footage from london you walk in those now famous coats and sneakers and soles brick . walls are these people you yes no hurts us you know what were you doing
1:04 pm
there and our friends have been suggesting for a long time that we visit this wonderful town souls' very wonderful town yes a tourist town. there is the famous solsbury cathedral famous not only in europe but in the whole world. it's famous for its one hundred twenty three metre spire. is turned upside down you don't really understand what to do and where to go and many say why don't they go to the u.k. embassy and explain everything that you think a lot of viewers are going to see this interview will have quite. mixed feelings the men are clearly slightly uncomfortable some will have more questions to ask some will view this as another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is the case of course that is going to bit of a game of chess really between the u.k.
1:05 pm
and russia the men refused to show their passports that is dr identity documents on camera they said that what journalistic aerial digging into their past lives their families they did show them to margarita simonyan she confirmed that they do match with their identity and she made a few comments after the interview just giving some of her own prussians about their interaction i mean you know they were nervous and sweating a lot i had to turn up the air conditioning a lot higher than usual and still they were sweating and wiping their foreheads which obviously happens when people are nervous there could be a lot of reasons for it i understand this was the first interview in their lives but they could have been nervous for other reasons as well that's also possible they refused to show their i.d.'s on camera because they didn't want to be pursued and identified further but they showed them to me i did not run a polygraph on them as a journalist i believe what they see i thought those were the people i saw their i.d.'s and that they feed the photos and video what was going through their minds
1:06 pm
and whether they were speaking the truth it's hard to see it's up to those who watched the interview to decide really this is but a chance for those two suspects to give some sort of to have some sort of right of reply here to give their version of events their story and explain their presence in the u.k. account for their actions during those days and i mean really give their version of events here whether the public will believe that as margarita said she didn't want to give her impression her job was to ask those questions that of course remains to be seen and we're waiting now for responses from officials see where this goes next artie's exclusive interview with the two suspects has generated wide reaction from officials both in russia and the u.k. polyploid to reports now from london. reso margarita simonyan saying that it's up to the viewer to decide what to make of this interview and it's fair to say that the british government has given it a massive thumbs down to resume
1:07 pm
a spokesperson has rubbish the accounts provided by alexander patrol from islamabad share of and they've used pretty strong language to do it take a listen to the lies and blades in for brooke asians in this interview given to a russian state sponsored t.v. station r and then sold to the public's intelligence well that same government statement goes on to say that an illegal chemical weapon was used on the streets of the country and that four people seriously ill in hospital and an innocent woman died and russia has responded with contempt now this is the second official statement that we've had from the government from downing street earlier on immediately after the interview was first aired there was a statement from the government and it was similarly scathing take a listen the government is clear these men are officers of the russian military intelligence service the g.r.u. to use a devastatingly toxic illegal chemical weapon on the streets of our country we have
1:08 pm
repeatedly asked russia to account for what happened in so was green march today just as we have seen throughout they have responded with obfuscation and lies. so i think to say that the british authorities are buying it is to say nothing at all really no one's going to be lining up to give them any acting accolades certainly not here in the u.k. all the politicians have been rather skeptical to the member of parliament for soulsby john glenn he's tweeted saying that he's delighted that alexander patrol from a share of enjoyed the world class attractions that sells but he has to offer but it's very strange to come all this way for just two days while carrying novacek in their luggage he also said that soulsby welcomes tourists from around the world and it is very much open for business but the patrols the sheriff statements according to john glenn are not credible and don't match the widely accepted intelligence
1:09 pm
that the u.k. has on these individuals so you can see that this is a stance that it's getting worse and we've got to the next stage of it now because we've had a response from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson that's maria's the horror of us so she's responded to the u.k.'s response to the interview and she has some questions for the british authorities there so the surely you've got i believe it's absolutely unacceptable to accuse people of telling lies forty minutes after they have spoken so i repeat my question directly to the british side what is the legal basis and framework for accused russian citizens of telling lies forty minutes after noon to review what was the reason for that what was so specifically non-credible and what they say when official authorities accuse someone of telling you must be responsible for the. so we're in the situation now where london is
1:10 pm
dismissing the interview and moscow has got questions about why london is dismissing the interview and london is reminding moscow that they have questions that haven't been answered by the kremlin from the very beginning n.s.f. that it looks like we're getting statements and counter statements but that doesn't appear to be any dialogue taking place between london and moscow right now. moving on the russian military has claimed of extremists in syria is. staged and filmed a chemical attack which they intend to blame on president assad's forces moscow sees the fighters will send some of the footage to the united nations and circulate the rest online. for moving between on the evening of the same d. and a joint meeting between representatives of the white house and terrorists. out of the nine videos from the two were approved to be sent to the u.s. and they will be c.w. the rest of the material was suggested for social media because of low quality
1:11 pm
according to the russian reconciliation center the preparations were made near the syrian town of can shake where an alleged chemical attack took place on the fourth of april last year it's claimed that filming took place in a nearby village where there is also a chemical stockpile washington has ignored warnings from russia that the self-styled syrian rescue group the white helmets are directly involved in staging the attack saying there is no evidence to support the claim unless the battle for a billet province looms the u.s. is pouring troops into syria saying that if there is a chemical attack there will be a much stronger response than before. well let's discuss this live now with former long time u.s. congressman ron paul mr paul thank you for taking the time to speak to us this hour
1:12 pm
do you think there's still a way for the situation to be resolved peacefully. well there certainly is that doesn't mean that i think it's going to happen but you know if people would just act wisely this could be ended because there's. no reason it can't be good but expect the west the united states to back down and i don't think it's going to happen and i think there the pressure is so great on the people who want to confront russia it's all designed you know to to satisfy iran and to go after to go after iran is an entire iranian subject so no one there could be but they would have to be in agreement and the people could leave their the and the people who had weapons they just couldn't take their weapons so it could be devised the side of a no no we don't want all this fighting and killing it's not going to serve any purpose which it well you could you could just say well let's let the people who
1:13 pm
want to leave leave but then they would have to accept the. position that is part of syria which is what i think would be the proper position to hold it just a year ago the american special envoy for the n.t. eisel coalition brett mcgurk referred to adlib as the biggest al-qaeda haven since nine eleven we can have a listen together to that. is a province just the largest a safe haven since nine eleven and it's live now is a huge problem it is an al qaeda safe haven right on the border of turkey. well washington's rhetoric regarding it does seem to have changed since then why do you think that is. well i think since that report maybe our position hasn't changed too much but the evidence is out that we are playing too many games with the because we've used al-qaeda and exactly as we say but the
1:14 pm
position for our institute is you know come home and mind our own business and try to set a good example for the world rather than thinking that we own the world because many of us believe that what we're doing is trying to maintain a modern day amp hour and that requires a lot of force and causal requires a lot of lying to do miss misinformed people in order for the american people to go along with that but i don't think the american people are well informed on this issue and that's why they tolerate it and when they finally wake up sometime it's a little late so i'm trying to do with our institute is to alert people to the danger that is involved with our foreign policy just in a related to. what strategy in syria do you think would be in the u.s. national interest therefore. why i think the most important thing would be something that trying to say i do know
1:15 pm
a few months ago he evidently didn't really believe it because it didn't last too long and he changed his mind and that is it's time we left syria you know we need to get out of syria our interests are not served by being there so i would have never gone in in the military sense and i would leave as soon as possible and i think that is the position that we should have but the president has changed his tune now matter of fact he's accelerating the interference but i think this has a lot to do with making sure that we're on the side who will remain very anti iran and that puts us into a situation where we have to be anti russia too and to me that is very dangerous for us congressman ron paul live on the program this hour thank you for your time. on your thoughts. donald trump's signed off on tackling alleged foreign interference in u.s. elections which he describes as
1:16 pm
a national emergency the president issued executive order which focuses on any attempt by individuals or countries to influence or alter vote results the crucial midterm elections in november seen as the primary reason for the order coming in in the event meddling is proven sanctions would be imposed on targeting sectors or of strategic significance like finance or defense he goes to the north now takes a closer look at the. trump has declared war on election meddling rules of engagement weapons free. to the assessment show identified to the maximum extent ascertainable the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to executed the persons involved and the foreign government or governments that authorized directed sponsored or supported it don't be thrown off by the formal word government the us president understands that in
1:17 pm
a very abstract sense everyone and anything can be a government of sorts an actual authority a political party and even an individual all are designated targets. when it comes to new ones on a scale between a sniper rifle and carpet bombing trump is closer to a firm a nuclear blast his understanding of interference is so broad it seems the president thinks the us election can be swayed by accident disclosing information threatening to disclose information undermining public confidence in a candidate by these rules everyone retreating we can leaks outside of america would be interfering in the election. so is the twenty sixteen election meddling case now closed after all the u.s. intelligence all agree long ago that russia meddled in that vote but of course trump wrong be shooting himself in the foot the term united states election means
1:18 pm
any election for federal office held on or after the date of this order that's right the executive order covers the upcoming midterms and on wards in case of any meddling the investigation will have to review all evidence within forty five days but chances are you won't see any of that. to. the framework which may be classified in whole or in part should focus on ensuring the. agencies fulfill their responsibilities pursuant to this order in a manner that maintains methodological consistency the shroud of secrecy around the forensics might as well conceal the lack of it the executive order allows an appeal in the century a gut feeling assigning blame although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any united states election foreign powers have historically sought to exploit america's free and open
1:19 pm
political system trump didn't sign an executive order he created a magic bullet for himself marketed to the public as something that will protect them and which allows the white house to target who it wants. our rights returning to our top story this hour the two men named by a briton a suspects in the script poisoning case refute the allegations against them we got their side of the story in a world exclusive and you can watch that in full right here on our team to national it starts in moments. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to crack the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it.
