10:03 am
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 jerry us 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 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 for that he said sure and chief said she chose not to give her personal opinion leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the men or not this is what she said after 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
10:04 am
which obviously happens when people are nervous they 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 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 say but it wasn't only the mainstream media who were quick to react to that interview british politicians 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 two two characters produced in this city through kuwait by putin own russian t.v. these ludicrous she questions making
10:05 am
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 sue 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 concept 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 there so when he was foreign secretary as top diplomat it was his job to represent the country to travel and he called himself
10:06 am
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 matter well he is widely tipped by the bookmakers to be potentially the next 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 interviewee that alexander the trough and did with r t saying that the account provided by the two
10:07 am
alleged attack 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 petrol for the sheriff's 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. will russia's foreign minister has commented on the issue saying that each time moscow has reached out to london the only response was you are guilty all we need from you is to explain whether it was an order or not
10:08 am
student. noted it was pointless to maintain discussions on such a level stressing that russia is still ready for serious dialogue just not based on the presumption of guilt journalists writes neil clark believes that in this case the truth is less important to some from politics. only about two or three days ago the government lie and this was echoed in the mainstream media was that these two men would be dead by now it was that interview i think that. the critic who said that the russians would have meant kill they want to talk that was the official narrative here three days ago and then what happens these men. contact are seen on our interview and then of course it's often got that we were told that there was a story then changes to 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. in other news this week the russian military said
10:09 am
extremists in series province of staged am filmed a false flag chemical attack to frame president assad's government. the militants will send footage to the u.n. and then circulate the rest online and all with the help of the controversial rescue group 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. out of the nine videos from the two were approved 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 conscious where an alleged chemical assault did take place on the fourth of april last year it said that filming took place in a nearby village where there is also a chemical stockpile or washington has rejected the warnings from russia that the

white helmets are directly involved in staging the attack insisting there is no evidence to support that and as the battlefield labe province looms the u.s. is pouring through into syria warning that if there is a chemical attack there will be a much stronger response than ever before contrary to earlier pledges to leave the country which now looks and so you have america's approach in syria is exact. 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. 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 so 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 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 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 coeditor of b s news my karate believes that such an approach the conflict in syria by the us could lead to a far greater war. electric hasn't even happened but blame has already been apportioned so you know what what 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 they're not addressing the syrian arab army they're not even addressing the syrian government or president assad they're addressing the al-qaeda proxy armies al-qaeda affiliates in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is

10:20 am
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. do 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 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
10:22 am
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 or media analysts 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
10:23 am
statute says 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 in ambiguity. the standoff between police and protesters and i'm back forests is continuing today's environmental activists fight to protect one thousand german wouldn't. thank you. activists there staged it in protest when offices starts to try to clear them on thursday the site was occupied some six years ago in a bid to block the building of a coal mine around one hundred fifty people are still living in tree houses on the site.

a storage platform they had permission to clear the barricades and guard which only but they went way beyond that the competition store shelters and took everything they could find like water containers bicycles tools and food. we cleared the barricades and vacated the treehouses we got people down from the trees all in all we're pleased up until now with how the operation is going because it's been practically free of violence. i think it's there for lease discriminately resistance. security service with one listener for. the motion a weekly here now see international will be back with the headlines more news here

in just over half an hour but i forget because the website say for the stories you can find that at aussie doco. hello and welcome to worlds a part of the christian history is full of kids in the senate looks like it may be another one coming that's three hundred million strong global orthodox community may soon be forced to take sides as the patriarchy just constantin all pull and must go wrangle over the fate of baseball in your brain has already passed that point of no return to discuss that i'm now in joined by metropolitan hilarie on how to foreign relations at the russian orthodox church your eminence it's good to talk
10:27 am
to you thank you very much for your time just a few days ago constantinople patcher arcade and in pretty stark terms its decision to eventually ground the sufferer to the ukrainian church whatever it might be revealed discuss it now and i say to the ukrainian church keeping in mind that this public primarily a political process but because of the or the politicians the state for that what do you make of this very tight association between state and religious affairs first of all i think they should explain what it means because not everyone would understand how to sell fully in the course of the tradition means independence the orthodox church unlike the roman catholic church consists all fully independent local churches they are not subordinates to one and so there is no single he had of
10:28 am
this church is except for jesus christ himself and yet from what i understand the constantin ople church gay does claim the bride of five. term meaning which church is supposed to be independent and which is not yes exactly as a pitcher of constantinople it's as if he were the pope for the course of the church but it has not been the traditional source of the extra to have such bold and we do not recognize the rights of the preacher of concern to no pope to. carry bring you back to my initial question about constantinople granting this ride of autocephaly to ukraine not the ukrainian church but actually to ukraine as a state because this is what we actually discussing at this point of time ukraine does not have. a united religious organization that can claim that document for itself it's more a political necessity for the current elites what do you make of it and the reason
10:29 am
i'm asking is because in most democratic liberal societies. that the separation between church and state is unquestionable and yet it's not the case for ukraine. in the ukraine there is one canonical ukrainian church it is the ukrainian orthodox church. which is recognized by all orthodox churches as canonical it twelve thousand parishes more than two hundred monasteries and millions of. and there are also two non-canonical groups which were called schismatic groups which are not recognized by any of the orthodox churches. it is this schismatic groups which are supposed to constitute the basis on which constantine or paul wants to be able to build this out of surface church and it is a political project because it is a project instigated by as
10:30 am
a current ukrainian political authorities they want to create a united church or for churches the canonical orthodox church the two schismatic groups and also the greek catholic church which belongs to the pope of rome this moment for an independent ukrainian church started back in the nineteen ninety s. and baghdad and its supporters are pretty open about wanting a schism a political schism a religious schism but i think president bush on cut deep change a tactic a little bit and he presents it as him striving towards the unity of the ukrainian faithful i'm sure you dislike it but don't you think that it's a clever tactic for him we certainly like the idea of the unity of the church and we certainly dislike schisms but the broken silly asian.
