was. it was. was. the well done today pin watchdog says it will discuss reinstating the russian anti dating agency as a member after it was noncompliance in twenty fifteen. russia's foreign minister reiterates moscow is willing to cooperate with britain on the script poisoning case but not on the principle of the seems guilt us off to some trash criticism from u.k. politicians do you see that you see what's happening with these two to this produced. by putin. really makes my blood boil. british m.p.'s the mainstream media exploded into a frenzy to the tube russians accused of carrying out some have begun to talk in

the u.k. come forward and speak to her in chief denying any involvement in the case. and concerns that raised over the potential presence of french troops in syria off the photos released by the us army appeared to show a french military base in the background. watching international welcome to global news update. the world on today can watch talk has announced it will discuss reinstating russia's on t. day thing agency is a member after it was declared non-compliant in the wake of the twenty fifteen day ping allegations. the compliance review committee reviewed at length a letter from the russian ministry of sport to water and was satisfied that this letter suppression. knowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling

the first of the two outstanding great area of road map to compliance this is a huge turnaround in fact if we look at what happened earlier during the day when the british media particularly b.b.c. reported exactly the opposite of what eventually happened and the b.b.c. said that the c.r.c. the compliance review committee of water the world anti-doping agency would recommend to water to not reinstate it as part of the world anti-doping family but water came out as they comprised this i must say with. seven days from now but my feeling is that russia will be rid. of completed as much as possible and far more than a new order doping agency in the history of water have been able to do and achieve so in all fairness they should be reinstated should be brought back into the family and given an opportunity to prove themselves however i think politics might yes play a bit of a role but then again the i.o.c.

the international committee our own saw it in so far as they want to see sport progress and exclusion of segregation on the drug sport into a very very dark place i think for people within that system within the u.k. with the new cards they need to sort of look a little bit closer to home the very royce to look for a clean sport but you need to start at home because the russians it doesn't matter what happens in u.k. or in usa or in our lives russia has been trying to clean up its own house i think if we all did and help the children were a bit more understanding i think that we would finally maybe get to something that . might be called kingsport. mattress having a holiday from how only strengthening the case to get them just a taste of the response that's created with the two russians accused of carrying out the never agent poisoning in the u.k.

city of seoul spray russia's foreign minister spoke on the issue for the first time since our exclusive during a joint news conference with his chairman counterparts here's what they both had to say. and i've seen on the ship all our official requests received just formal notes and even simply spoken responses boiling down to your guilty all we need from you is to explain whether it was an order or an accident used to maintain discussion on such a level is pointless we are still ready for serious dialogue based on the rule of international law but not on the principle they called highly likely to have informants when we got the information on the script case from the u.k. and we have no doubts about it but we're also interested in an investigation of what's happened if everybody is ready to exchange information on the issue to clear up the situation nothing more than prevent an investigation. the interview even sparked a reaction from the former british foreign secretary and reportedly

a contender for the next prime minister boris johnson. well you see the you see what's happening now with these q two characters produced in this city to recruit. only russian t.v. these ludicrous she questions making a mockery of the whole thing and it really makes my blood boil typically boris response really you hear him using vivid language about his blood boiling and he said that alexander patrol found respond to share of all murderers and that they're welcome to see him in court if they want to challenge that fact and he also spoke of his work as foreign secretary saying that he holds the kremlin in absolute contempt and that he made what he called the classic mistake of trying to engage with moscow take a listen to what he had to say i made the coffee classic mistake of thinking it was

possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to be true that was before. so when he was foreign secretary as top diplomat it was his job to represent the country to travel and he called himself a committed rasa file back in twenty seventeen it was his job to meet up with his russian counterpart sergey lavrov now however when he happens to be speaking in washington he says he regrets it all very much and it was a fool's errand and to quote something he once said about his own views that in europe his view on russia appears to have been like a supermarket trolley as well so quite an extreme reaction from the former foreign secretary why does the view of a former cabinet minister even matter well he is widely tipped by the bookmakers to

be intentionally the next conservative leader so. clearly his views are getting a lot of air time also the current lead to resume a prime minister her spokes persons rubbish the interview that alexander trough and fresh air did with r t saying that the account provided by the two alleged attackers is an insult to the public's intelligence and outright lies so downing street wasn't having any of it but most foreign ministry spokesperson maria's the horror of was unimpressed with downing street's response she came out yesterday questioning why london immediately dismissed petroff account forty minutes after that interview was first to add and the latest development from moscow comes from dmitri peskov the spokesperson for the russian president vladimir

putin he said that russia would consider any request to interview the men from the u.k. in accordance with russian law but moscow is yet to receive such a request from london to remind you that two suspects accused by british authorities of poisoning formant double agents a case cripple came forward on thursday and spoke to r.t. said to turn in chief margarita simonyan denying any involvement in the incident. was one of them in them i've been to the one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a slumber shooter from the looks on the floor. you really look like the pictures shown to us by the uki. who are you we are those who were shown to you in the pictures. and i was under paid through the lessons are those your real names yes they are

real names. even now when you are talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous. what would you look like when your life is turned upside down in a moment in just one day and changed our lives. do you work for the g.r.u. and you me and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the g.r.u. was that what you are being accused of that your colleagues accuse us of that by your colleagues you mean journalists who are being accused by u.k. authorities and yes that's the scariest thing where do you work you are adults you need to make a living if we tell you about our business people we work with will be affected tell me anything so that we believe you everyone has questions what do you do to cut a long story short we're in the fitness industry. as it's here in chief said he didn't

give heavy on pep s. prefer him to leave it to the viewas to decide whether to believe the man or not here's what he had to say following me and. i knew 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 i see i saw those were the people i saw their i.d.'s and that they feed the photos and videos what was going through their minds and whether they were speaking the truth it's hard to see. former british diplomats craig mary says the and media rejection of the suspects story is a concern. some of the things which were being said they widely in the u.k.

plea by the beatles to be implausible are in fact not implausible it turns out that it is absolutely true that stonehenge was closed by snow on the barge so the idea that they went on the third of march time souls blew city center snowed under and stonehenge closed and came back and tried to convey next day is perfectly possible those were the weather conditions of the day i found the straightforward rejection of the story by the british of art is very troubling indeed given that this is meant to be a criminal case there's meant to be. a possible trial where. potential defendants have outlined very defense and the government is immediately said that's ridiculous and it's an insult to make that defense that's not how you'd behave in a democracy in criminal cases this did before to just and it isn't hard evidence of anything except to people walking around souls because that's all it shows plainly

of a british government predetermines this investigation on day one the day after the skipper attack happened basted up in parliament and said russian government to done it and they've been trying ever since then to fix the evidence. around that conclusion which is not the way an investigation should be done. new pictures released by the us army seem to indicate that france has a much larger military presence in syria and previously thought was more announced after the break.

with the advent of the trump presidency much has been said about america's cultural wars even a new civil war the country is clearly divided but trump didn't do this on his own there are two americas now you can. see it's.

welcome back to the program now new pictures released by the u.s. army appear to end it there to expose a much larger french military role in syria than previously thought and french can be seen in the background of a photo from terrorists or where the u.s. is fighting what's left of islamic state terrorists in the area the picture there was quickly deleted it has charlotte dubinsky with the details what we know that the u.s. army released this on wednesday to show which special operation joint task force on the ground in syria in this particular region. but what the eagle eye did members of the public clearly spot is a french military vehicle in the background now people have said. sure that it's a french military vehicle because this particular type of vehicle is only used by french and saudi arabian forces and saudi arabian forces are not on the ground in this particular region now what it showed is that military vehicle in the

background and what's really interesting about this is that the french government the french military has never acknowledged that it has french troops on the ground in this particular area of syria now we do know that this area is where the u.s. backed fighters have been battling against the hardest and we also know that france has been part of a u.s. led coalition which has been cut. operations of syrian air space over the last three years but in particular it's been aiding forces on the ground as they fight against by some forces now we know that france has pledged in the past full support to syria on the ground the president should the syrian democratic forces and the french support in particular for the stabilization of the security zone in the north east of syria within the framework of an inclusive and balanced

governance to prevent any resurgence of i saw it while seeking for a political solution to the syrian conflict well that support from the french military has been vegas to water actually means and what the context of that support actually is and there is actually a question of the legality of the french and the u.s. troops being in syria to all of course they do not turn off a u.n. mandate and they do not have permission from the syrian government to be that we also know that francis repeatedly warned that if it believes a chemical attack has taken place it will seek retribution and retaliation for such an attack on syrian ground so now with their troops seemingly absolutely on the ground in this area the new body has. previously perhaps france is raising an even bigger warning flag. meanwhile reports have surfaced in the german media suggesting that washington has been pressuring beland to get more minutes hurley involved in

syria as well the news prompted the research service of the german parliament to remind authorities such an me if would be unconstitutional and that's approved by parliament itself be shown to have a solely from the last party gave us his skis on intervention in the conflict it would be totally illegal under international and german law remember there is no indication to what germany to participate in military action in syria the only forces that legal the fight in syria of those that are invited by the syrian government of bashar al assad and no other forces have been authorized if germany wanted to participate in that conflict all the us or the french troops for that matter then they should seek off the reason nation by the un security council under chapter seven otherwise they must stay out of the conflict if they have proof of chemical attacks then why don't they put that proof to the test by bringing it to

the un security council where the world can look at the troops and see for themselves if it's really true or just did evidence like when they started the iraq war. medics in garces say that israeli soldiers killed three people including a twelve year old boy during anticipation protests along the perimeter fence on friday at least two hundred forty eight others were reportedly wounded schools by life fire. was the old. i was. i was here i was like yeah yeah it was. god. i mean. oh

god. the gazans protest campaign which they call the great march began at the end of march that demanding the right to return to lands in israel that their relatives were displaced from in nine hundred forty eight and nine hundred sixty seven and so the crippling blockade of gaza israel has killed one hundred seventy seven protesters and wounded more than eighteen thousand since the rally started as. these really military defended its actions on friday claiming they were necessary to dispense the almost thirteen thousand palestinians who were protesting along the fence it's also said that some demonstrators were burning tires and throwing stones and firebombs at soldiers one officer is reported to have been wounded the i.d.f.

said it hit two positions of the hamas militant group that rules the strip. a day earlier scuffles broke out between palestinian demonstrators and this really forces in the west bank israel is preparing to raise a better when village that after the may have got the go ahead from the country's high court it claims the buildings in the village which is home to two hundred people do not have the right mix european parliament said on says day that it's demolition would be a grave violation of international law. well to discuss this let's cross live to seattle based seabirds editor of the palestine chronicle dot com. and say welcome to the program now israel's he said extreme forces has been repeatedly condemned by rights creates an instructional party how long can this sort of response to the protests continue. well. it's

really use this i mean it's important in my opinion for is for either could be nancy and. international law to continue for voices to be heard but without any real mechanism coming from the united nations to actually enforce some sort of punishment or take any kind of measure to make israel realize that there are consequences and do caution for this kind of violent behavior that we are seeing not just in jerusalem and gaza but throughout the west bank as well i don't think this is really behavior is going to end anytime soon the other thing is because of this check that israel is receiving from the american administration you really feel that they can do as they please and no one is going to hold them accountable to this kind of behavior but force as far as venice to be is a concern they're extremely angry they are feeling more isolated than ever and they

are being shot in cold blood really in gaza more or less one hundred seventy seven people killed but also thousands of people have been wounded since march thirtieth many of them have been crippled for life something needs to be done too in this this killing campaign that is happening there so what do you feel would be a better response from its route when it says the barrier fence is being breached by protest this. well the thing is this barrier fence is not a border it's gaza is still under israeli occupation per international law it has been under the porch out of israel this huge for eleven years it has suffered three major israeli even wars that. thousand five thousand and this to me is to be more exact and wounded tins of thousands and destroying the gaza strip so for all times over these people are extremely angry men nourished now in this

political and without any political horizon and they are being completely lift on their own devices they are absolutely angry they have israel right to be protesting although reading thirty thousand people who are protesting peacefully the scenes that we see old kids throwing rocks we have to understand that the distance between the israeli the snipers and these kids throwing rocks it is so massive that not one single is what eighty soldier or civilian has been warned do but thousands of palestinians have been killed and wounded so israel needs to end this siege israel needs to respect international law is what needs to treat palestinians lucky human beings before expecting them not to protest this open air prison since that is goes up or leave it that now around separates editor at the palestine chronicle dot com thank you very much for your thoughts and. for real time updates
