in the stories that shaped the week that the russians accused of poisoning sergei scooter pal and his daughter speak exclusively to artie's editor in chief however it stands much of the media and many british politicians into overdrive saying the men's claims are a joke. also to come terrorists film scenes of a false flag chemical attack to send to the un imposed on line with the hope of discrediting the syrian government backs according to the russian military and donald trump signs

a new executive order aiming to defend the future us elections from foreign meddling in less than two months prior to the country's midterm but. hello there welcome the latest developments and look back what's been happening over the last seven days to watch the weekly here in r.t. international. now on thursday the two men accused of carrying out the poisoning of former russian spy sergei script and his daughter on british soil gave a global exclusive to r.t. claiming they had nothing to do with the assassination attempt however their interview to artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan prompted headlines in the british media such as murderers and having a holiday from hell while others said that their claims only make the u.k.'s case stronger. we. the new to me and i've been to live one

you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a slumber and the looks on the patrol you found it all with one. if you really look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. doesn't mean that if. and. when the someone why you. and we are those who were shown to you in the pictures of the slums. and i would say underpaid thrown at the russians they are those your real names national yes they are real names now does he just called 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 in 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 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 what artie said in chief said that she chose not to give her personal opinion leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the men or not here's what she had to say though following the interview. 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 there were sweating and wiping their foreheads which obviously happens when people are nervous there could be a lot of reasons for it but 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 it's not that 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 is hard to see and it wasn't only the media either quick to react to be interviewed there some british politicians or most notably the 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 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 kasik mistake of trying to engage with moscow amid the costly classic mistake of thinking it was possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to be that was the food 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 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 not so well but he is widely by the to be intentionally the next the conservative leader so clearly his views are getting a lot of their time also. the current lead to resume a prime minister her spokespersons rubbish the interview that alexander the traffic 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 that foreign ministry spokesperson marias the horror of was unimpressed with downing street's response questioning why london

immediately dismissed petroff account forty minutes after that interview was for us to add dmitri peskov off the spokesperson for the russian president vladimir putin he said that russia would consider any request to interview the man from the u.k. in accordance with russian law but moscow is yet to receive such a request from london to. go there were russia's foreign minister commented on the issue saying each time moscow has reached out to london the only response it's received is guilty or we need from you is to explain whether it was an order or an accident. it was pointless to maintain discussions on such a level stressing that russia is still ready for serious dialogue based on the rule of international law rather than the highly likely principle journalist to write a new believes the quest for the truth has to take a back seat to politics in this case. only about two or three days ago the

government lie and this was echoed in the mainstream media it was that these two men would be dead by now it was. going to be looking at the. critic who said that the russians would have meant kill to talk that was the official narrative three days ago and then what happens these men. contact are seen on our interview and then of course it's all forgotten that we were to. that there was a story then changes too of course what they're talking is a pack of lies so i think it's quite interesting really that whatever they had said . dismissed i think because we're talking really about geopolitics of propaganda coming before anything else really. the russian military claims that extremists in series province of staged and filmed a false flag chemical attack to frame president assad's government or sco says the militants will send select footage to the un and circulate the rest online and all

with the help of the controversial rescue group the white helmets following but filming on the evening of the same day at a joint meeting between representatives of the white helmets and terrorists. out of the nine videos from the two were proved to be sent to the u.s. and b. or b c w the rest of the material was suggested for social media because of low quality well according to the russian reconciliation center preparations for the supposed attack were made near the syrian town of kanchi coun where an alleged chemical assault took place on the fourth of april last year it is 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 italy 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 ever before contrary to earlier pledges to leave the

war weary country. now looks into how washington's approach in syria is 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 minear. 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. 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 do not i thought when the controversial white how much group released a video claiming to be proof of a chemical attack in april this year trope was able to pinpoint the culprit in hours many dead including women and children in mindless chemical attack in syria area rich cities 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 join 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 u.s. 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 bashar al assad 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 elipse 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's 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. well the u.n. estimates that there are around ten thousand al qaeda terrorists and their affiliates innately in syria former u.s. congressman ron paul believes that washington is willing to use these terror groups as long as the tactic benefits u.s. policy in the country the evidence is out there we are playing too many games with they are there they because we've used al qaeda as the excuse for being there and yet i don't believe that is the case i think we were there for other reasons. it is it's a haven there and we're on their side. the pragmatic reason for this is that. we think al qaeda will help our position the united states position to get rid of assad and this is a bipartisan republican and democratic position and it's only individuals like ourselves in the institute for peace and prosperity that are arguing this is

totally unnecessary this isn't the first time that the evidence is very clear that we have aligned ourselves with al qaeda when we think it's temporarily a benefit to our foreign policy. not donald trump or signed off on tackling alleged foreign interference in u.s. elections which he described as a national emergency on wednesday the president says she's an executive order which does focus on any attempts by individual countries to influence or results crucial midterm elections in november is the primary reason for the coming in with me event that meddling is proven sanctions would be imposed. strategic significance like finance or defense you've done of takes a closer look. trump has declared war on election meddling rules of engagement weapons free. to 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. 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. to. the framework which may be classified in whole or in part should focus on ensuring there. 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

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 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. because you don if they were legal and media analysts lionel 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 know why this because normally when you look at the statute said 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 if it concerns me for vagueness and ambiguity so to come in the weekly i howl out some teaching arabic a more schools have been suggested in france in order to fight extremism that among the stories to stuff back.

two thirds of american households do not have five hundred dollars in emergency care. as crazy. population doesn't have money and you money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the room why while you change your policies and do something that is good for the making. and good for america in the long run. the laws already on the table which are direct discrimination and margin. of the ukrainian orthodox church one. if accepted 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 the. yellow star on the joy. in it. welcome back now i hell out and teaching arabic in more schools are being proposed in france and ways of curbing the spread of radical islam they are among some of the measures put forward by a think tank income as the government is considering its own moves shouted to pinsky gauge reaction in paris to the latest suggestions is a reminder of an ambitious promise president made to lawmakers a few months ago the total reform of islam in france and with the ground work in place by the autumn. there is

a radical and aggressive action for taishan of islam that says this as its goal questioning the norms and laws of our free country and free societies by autumn. we will clarify the situation by giving islam a framework and rule is that no guarantee that it is practiced in accordance with the laws of the republic so far it's only words but continues to chew over how to bring in the changes help is that turned a liberal think tank the more tame institute has released a report with its own suggestions it is essential to have an alternative muslim religious discourse in french that is parallel to the mainstream discourse prevalent on social networks today meaning the salafist discourse france must equip itself with the means and important networks to disseminate this counter-narrative who can do that only muslims the report also has some concrete suggestions about

how to achieve this one is to incorporate arabic into the education system the idea is that by offering arabic in schools fewer children would find themselves in dubious institutions linked to settle a fee indoctrination and radicalization. it's not going to fight anything the terrorists will remain terrorists so i don't see why we can't learn arabic is a very interesting language and it would help us to open ourselves to the people we meet on a daily basis i'm not for it i don't think it's going to change anything learning several languages good anyway the think tank also suggest creating an official and independent. islamic fronts with the idea that it could help stamp out any underground fundamentalism but it suggests the funding for such a body should come from a tax on how love food products earned other services for muslims yet again that

hasn't gone down well with everyone. not for the prices keep on rising and rising it's a crisis. in our religion if you can for. mind food that is you can still eat just not pork you just need to pray for what you are eating can eat almost anything you want so i don't think it's a solution if it's. not too much it's all right and make sure you find food. that's for taxes the funds are used properly then why not we need to look at the possible advantage use it to help some groups of people division over both suggestions from the report may have my thinking that is bitten off more than he can chew especially with the fact that recent polls are hardly sliding in the president's favor one carried out by a doc said this week found that seventy one percent of respondents now thought negatively of him and when it comes to how his government is handling terrorism previous polls showed that more than hoff that they weren't doing enough many are

waiting with bated breath to see how much will keep those promises over here but the early signs are not positive charlotte auty paris well in a debate we had an r.t. france reaction did range from calls for closer scrutiny of mosques to fears that french muslims will be for a united. i look at this with interest yet one of the projects to try to introduce even more arabic in schools and colleges i don't think that this comical attitude is consistent with the principles of secularism we need to regulate in mom's who come from abroad and we need to close down the mosques that cause problems least we also need to stop illegal immigration so this report risks irritating the very people concerned french muslims and foreign citizens who live in france and who are also muslims because it does go into storage debates within

their community and second there will be debates with others for example with those who are inclined towards islamophobia unfortunately this will strengthen their beliefs and their will not bring about a spirit of national unity and social cohesion. and you've been watching the weekly here not international thanks for your company to salve the name of back again in just a. goal make us manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the final merry go round left certainly the one percent. going all middle of the room sick.

you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door of the. shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

for the lord god we call the commander probably into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping he took one of the man's rooms and then closed up with flash. i was born a male i started living as a female when i was nineteen years old had a sex change when i was thirty years old i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this nobody can change genders it's impossible. it's delusional it's a mental illness. and the lord god made a woman from the room he had taken out of the man and he brought her to the man once i finally had the surgery i went with this was the wrong thing to do it was the wrong thing to do to cut off my male anatomy.

command. this is now one of my bones from the flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman for she was taken out of man that is why a man leaves his father and mother earth news from nineteen to his wife and they become one flesh the fact of the matter is the forty percent of people who are attempting suicide are people who regret it. changing genders. right there around or. to get but usually i wake up beforehand it's with god just wakes me. i read the bible and i
