on the long line of a simple system here. on the water and you are with them you know what. shall i do. this i will. get to russians accused of poisoning surrogates for palin and his daughter speaking exclusively to r.t. the editor in chief the interview sends much of the media and many british politicians into overdrive saying the men's claims are just. terrorists still in scenes of a false flag chemical attack to send to the un and post online with the hope of discrediting the syrian government's without according to the pressure military.

i'm still trying to find a new executive order aiming to defend all future u.s. elections from foreign meddling less than two months prior to the country's midterm vote. very good morning to you you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international all the latest headlines and a round of the stories that shaped the week the first on thursday the two men accused of carrying out the poisoning of former russian spies their case for powell and his daughter gave a global exclusive to r.t. claiming they had nothing to do with the assassination attempt their interview to artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan that prompted such headlines in the british press as murderers and having a holiday from hell while others said their claims only make the u.k.'s case stronger. we. need

a minimum of been to live one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a slumber and the looks on the floor you found it all. it really looked like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. doesn't mean that if. and. when the someone why you. we are those who are shown to you in the pictures. and i would say under path through the russians there are those your real names national yes they are real names now would you suggest of them but even now when you are talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous on them. what would you look like your when your life is turned upside down in a moment and just one day and changed our lives. what do you work for the jews are you at work and you meet normal and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the gerry used but you are being accused of that your colleagues accuse

us of that by your colleagues you mean journalists you are being accused by u.k. authorities and yes that's the scariest thing where do you work if you are adults you need to make a living process 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 if you were in the fitness industry artie's editor in chief said she chose not to give her personal opinion if you get up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the man or not here's what she had to say following the interview. 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 you could be a lot of reasons for it and i understand this was the first interview in their lives but they could have been nervous for other reasons as well but 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 it's not that i did not run the polygraph on them as a journalist i believe what they 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 leaking the truth it's hard to see any because it wasn't only the media quick to react to the interview some british politicians and most notably former foreign secretary boris johnson didn't mince their words either but you know you see the you see what's happening now with these q two characters produced in this satirical way by putin. 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 trafford responder share of on the murderers and that they're welcome to suit 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 i mean the classic classic mistake of thinking it was possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to me that was before very 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 roster file back in twenty seventy. preparations for the supposed return were made near the syrian town of conscious when alleged chemical assault took place on the fourth of april last year it's claimed filming took place in a nearby village where there is also a chemical stockpile washington has rejected the warnings from russia that the

white helmets are directly involved in staging the attack saying there is no evidence to support that claim and as the battle for a province nums the u.s. is pouring troops into syria saying that if there is a chemical attack there will be a much stronger response than ever before contrary to earlier pledges to leave the war wary country jaclyn very good looks into how washington's approach in syria has exact over the years the deeper the u.s. gets sucked into the syrian conflict the more the continuity of time seems to change when it comes to decision making in washington back in two thousand and thirteen when allegations of chemical attacks arose barack obama was still in the hot seat and time still seemed linear we intend to investigate thoroughly exactly what happened. obviously in syria right now you've got a war zone we have to make sure that we know exactly what happened what was the

nature of the incident what can we document what can we prove our commonsense review the evidence and attack if justified later the idea that investigations require time those were the good old days but two thousand and seventeen came and times changed syrian dictator bashar. launched a horrible chemical weapons attack. on innocent civilians less than seventy two hours later the u.s. fired fifty nine cruise missiles at the airbase they suspected chemical weapons were launched from before any investigation took place. only months later did a un report come out placing the blame at the feet of the syrian government something they still deny the when the controversial white how much group released a video claiming to be proof of a chemical attack in april this year trump was able to pinpoint the culprit in

hours many dead including women and children in mindless chemical attack in syria area atrocities in lockdown and encircled by syrian army making it completely inaccessible to outside world president putin russia and iran are responsible for backing animal assad big price. so the area's inaccessible and yet those responsible have been found out already no ifs ands or buts how does the guy do it the u.k. and france also joined the ranks of the striking government sites in syria after an investigation you ask well three months later the o.p.c. w did put out a report saying chlorine may have been found but on nerve agents and the case is still open so all proof of the last attack hasn't been found the us is again using its crystal ball to determine what no one else can and is ready to act at least according to wall street journal sources brazil and bush are on the son of syria

has approved the use of chlorine gas in an offensive against the country's last major rebel stronghold u.s. officials said so if and when a chemical attack takes place during ellipse liberation the guilty party is already known if there are chemical weapons that are used we know exactly who's going to use them that russia is warning of stage attacks is irrelevant that it would lead to exactly what the terrorists want also irrelevant but why look at every scenario when you have everyone else and time on your side. donald trump signed off on tackling alleged foreign interference in u.s. elections which he described as a national emergency on wednesday the president's issued an executive order which focuses on any attempt by individuals or countries to influence or alter vote results the crucial midterm elections in november are seen as the primary reason for the order coming in now in the event that meddling is proven sanctions would be imposed targeting sectors of strategic significance like finance or defense it was

done after takes a closer look. trump has declared war on election meddling rules of engagement weapons free. you the assessment shall identify it to the maximum extent ascertainable the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it 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 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. you 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 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. you. the framework which may

be classified in whole or in part should focus on ensuring the. agencies for fill 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 on essentially 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 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 whoever it wants. legal and media analyst leinil believes the executive order is vague particularly in contrast to previous documents of its kind. whenever we look at any statute any statute

law or regulation executive order p.t.d. you name it anything that is written one of the tenets that we always look to is are the behaviors are the prohibited actions are those intended activities spelled out accurately enough and with specificity enough so that you were able to read that particular executive order read the statute and comport accordingly meaning may i read this and say oh i know what to do i don't even understand how you would even apply this because normally when you look at the statute say it interference shall mean this it means it does not mean this the dissemination of an idea discussion debate what is that what when any country has any discussion i think there is an effect so it's very

concerned and it concerns me for vagueness and ambiguity hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of military vehicles have been taking part in the largest military drills and russia's far east since the cold war more on that it's right off of the page. that was already on the table which directs discrimination and margin away zation of the ukrainian orthodox church one. if except it will presuppose that the ukrainian orse of the church should change its name and that it should be a name to the russian orthodox church in the ukraine it is something like put sings the. halo. on the georgians the infeed.

two thirds of american households do not have five hundred dollars in emergency cash. that's crazy you know why your population doesn't have money and you're burning money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the room why why don't you change your policies and do something that is good for the making. and good for america in the long run. welcome back now in russia's far east around three hundred thousand soldiers on thirty six thousand the military vehicles have been put through their paces and the largest military drill seen that in decades but you feel we are one of the most

anticipated exercises of the storks two thousand and eighteen war games. we've seen almost everything from the last almost formations rushing at simulated enemies to fried supposedly cultism jets dropping that payloads and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails. little navel action. here comes from last night. comedy formation during the battle with he called the support then. to preserve speech pushkin the battle.

live what's remarkable here at least the level of coordination required to keep everything running smoothly with showmen even with a tree branch said he called his jets as well as troops from multiple countries china from goalie of from russia and in such a confined in small area who is the exercise is simulated but the difficulties faced deal will translate it's a real combat experience. now

that the beach is speed it is a hypothetical mines here come the big boys that's literally a big marine ship translation from russian and it's about to discourage its contingent to take the beach in force. don't expect to sure like this every year it's tremendously expensive boots and money and effort but the experience knowledge gained is invaluable. south africa's president president is trying to defuse fears the country could face sanctions over land being seized from white farmers in july here announced

constitutional changes to enable the government to take land from the why it's minority minority ball community without compensation it immediately sparked a backlash and was described as discrimination by the farmers or bulls are the descendants of the dutch settlers who came to south africa in the eighteenth century they currently own seventy percent of private farmland in the country south africa's president ses taking it back would undo a grave historical injustice. but with the future unclear some farmers have found an unlikely solution in russia within a culture never met with one south african family looking to resettle.

after almost three hours of driving we finally got to this farm and what we feel here is just vast amounts of playing fields or alfre where. when you take this. you can see because i know get out at this extra quality two generations of the do twa family have a arrived in russia to see the farmlands that could be their future and after visiting here in the kaluga region they will have to south and russia they still feel that south africa is their real home but dire circumstances are forcing their hand and russia is offering them an olive branch we experience the pain in the hurt family members who have suffered ourselves if suffered crime i've made the decision that my children will not have to face that on

a daily basis we've had family members who have been murdered we have had family members who have and friends who have had what they had stolen we have suffered crime it's a daily reality that is not what i want for my children the white farmers of south africa have long been complaining of discrimination and they now live in fear that the state could pass laws to seize the lands they've owned since the seventeenth century and return them to the local black population without any compensation while the bill is still being debated some farmers including the do twat family have their mind sat in a preemptive move. if the government starts saying that we can take land without paying for it because what has happened many centuries ago my children will not pay for the sins of the forefathers and your hannahs case russia was not

a random pick three years ago he met his wife daria who is from russia he followed his wife to her native siberia and says that he falun laugh with the country straight away i myself believe that there is a future in russia for my family personally gives me a siberian winter rather then a summer in the kalahari desert i do not question him our reporting from the kaluga region. well they would take your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media join us again to the top of the hour for the latest headlines about. make this manufactured sensitive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go
