was it was. was that. in the stories that shaped the week. chief speaks exclusively to the russians accused of poisoning sergei script file and his daughter much of the media and many put politicians into overdrive calling the many claims show. terrorists film a false flag chemical attack to send to the un and post online with the hope of discrediting the syrian government that's according to russia's military.

donald trump signs a new executive order to defend all future u.s. elections from foreign meddling this less than two months before the countries of. those who are joining us this hour we are watching that we clear on our international. on thursday the two men accused of carrying out the poisoning of former russian double agent script pal and his daughter on british soil they gave the world exclusive stating that they had nothing to do with the assassination attempt interview to our editor in chief margarita simonyan prompted such headlines in the british media as murderous and having a holiday from hell while others said that their claims only made the u.k.'s case stronger. we. are 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. 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. we are those who were shown to you in the pictures with. and i would throw the russians there are those your real names national yes they are real names and i would suggest of them even now when you are talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous on them. what would you look like 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 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 when everyone has questions what do you do to cut a long story short if you were in the fitness industry. lottie's editor in chief says she chose not to give her personal opinion leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the man or not but this is what she said after 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 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 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. one and 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. but you know you see the you see what's happening now with these two characters produced in this city through kuwait. 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 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 kasik mistake of trying to engage with moscow i mean the coffee classic mistake of thinking it was possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to the to 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 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 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 it foreign ministry spokesperson maria zahar of earth was unimpressed with downing street's response questioning why london

immediately dismissed petroff account forty minutes after that interview was first to add dmitri peskov 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 reeses foreign minister has commented on the issue saying each time moscow has reached out to london the only response i received was your guild fee all we need from you is to explain whether it was an order or an accident sergei lavrov said that it was pointless to maintain discussions on such a level stressing russia is still ready for serious dialogue just not based on the presumption of guilt human rights craig murray told us that the yukos version of events does raise questions and doubts. on the timing was given by the british

government and shown in the c.c.t.v. footage they could not have used to skip oz house if they went there was no evidence they did but if they were there they could have not got there before noon the earliest the script also left the house at nine fifteen am and it's never previously been suggested they went back to the house again before they fell ill. at nine fifteen am when they left the house the car was spotted heading north eastward out of soulsby by three different c.c.t.v. cameras it was spotted coming back into soulsby one fifteen pm. from the north westerly direction so how did the they manage to touch their door knob which could can't have been infected before noon so really doesn't add up with the door knob store the. russian military says extremists in syria zelig province of stage then filmed

a false flag chemical attack to frame president assad's government moscow as the militants will send select footage to the un and circulate the rest online or the help of the controversial rescue group the white helmets. following but filming on the evening of the same deep at a joint meeting between representatives of the white house 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 tac were made near the syrian town of consequence for an alleged chemical assaults occurred on the fourth of april last year it said the filming took place in a nearby village where there is also a chemical stockpile washington's rejected the warnings from russia that the wind elements are directly involved in staging the attack insisting there's no evidence to support that. and as the battle for the province looms the u.s.

is pouring troops into syria warning that if there is a chemical attack there will be a much stronger response than of the war contrary to earlier pledges to leave the country decently looks into how america's approach in syria has zigzagged 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 common sense 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 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 retry 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 areas 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 for 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 president 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 the u.n. estimates are about ten thousand terrorists and their affiliates in syria former u.s. congressman ron paul believes washington is willing to use these terror groups as long as the tactic benefits u.s. policy in the country. the evidence is out that we are playing too many games with they are 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 and that al qaeda 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. in russia's far east around three hundred thousand soldiers and thirty six thousand military vehicles have been put through the paces if you take a policy in the largest military drill seen in decades. feel we are one of the most anticipated exercises of the votes talks two thousand and eighteen war games. we've seen almost everything from the last stop on the formations rushing that simulated enemies to freed's of helicopters and jets dropping that payloads and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails.

a little naval action. here comes the. comet formation during the battle with he called the support. to preserve speed pushkin the battle. what's remarkable here at least the level of coordination required to keep everything running smoothly with suman even with a tree branch said he called his jets as well as troops from multiple countries china from go to from russia and in such a confined and small area of course the exercise is simulated but the difficulties

faced deal will translate it's a real combat experience. now that the beach is speed cleared of 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 a show like this every year it's tremendously expensive both in money and death but the experience knowledge gained is invaluable. donald trump's move to prevent foreign interference in the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections will have the full story after the break.

two thirds of american households do not have five hundred dollars emergency cash. as crazy. population doesn't have money and you. mean to. carry around the world why. why don't you change your policies and do something that is good for the. good in the long run.

donald trump has announced plans to tackle alleged foreign interference in u.s. elections which he described as a national emergency on wednesday the president has issued an executive order which focuses on any attempt by individuals all countries to influence votes the crucial midterm elections in november a seen as the main reason for the timely being of the order in the event that meddling is proven sanctions would be imposed targeting sectors of strategic significance like finance or defense. takes a closer look. 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 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 kill eeks 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. to. 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. white farmers in south africa are accusing the government of discrimination after tabling constitutional changes allowing it to take land from the white community without compensation or as are the descendants of dutch settlers who came to the country in the eighteenth century they currently own seventy percent of private farmland the president ramaphosa says taking it back would undo a grave historical injustice in the future and clear some farmers have found a solution though in russia but in a culture of a mother south african family were looking to resettle.

after almost three hours of driving we finally god to this farm and what we see here is just vast amounts of land feels very where. you can because i know. at this quality two generations of the do twat 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 fall fathers in johanna's 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 our team reporting from the kaluga region. brings us right up to the job with the latest at the top of the hour .
