so the idea. was. in the stories that shapes the week he says to her in chief speaks exclusively to the two russians suspected by the u.k. of poisoning so his daughter the men's claims triggered a few reus response in the u.k. and are dismissed as a joke. the russian military claims terrorists in syria's adlib province have filmed a staged chemical attack and intense a-frame the assad government. still more trumps science a new executive order aimed at protecting us from foreign election meddling that's

then two months before the country's mid tempo. this is the weekly or not international bringing you the global stories that shapes the week. on thursday the two men accused of poisoning russian form a double agent. and his daughter in the u.k. gave a world exclusive to r.t. they insisted to the channels as a terror in chief margarita simonyan that they had nothing to do with assassination attempts their version of events was met with fierce criticism in the u.k. and triggered a slew of headlines like to madras in the holiday from hell and their claims only make the u.k.'s case stronger. we. need them in them i've been to one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are shooting from the looks on the floor are you from all. but 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 of the slums. and i would say under petro the russians there are those your real names national yes they are real names and what 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 or when your life is turned upside down in a moment and just one day and changed our lives. what do you work for the g.r.u. at work and you meet and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the jerry 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 when 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. artie's editor in chief said she chose not to give her personal opinion leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the man or not this is what she said of to be 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 is hard to see. but it wasn't only the media that were quick to react to the interview a number of british politicians including the former foreign secretary boris johnson didn't mince their words. you know you see that you see what's happening now with these two 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 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 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 make has to be intentionally 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 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 most korea's foreign ministry spokesperson marias the horror 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 off 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 russia's foreign minister has again commented on the case he says each time moscow has reached out to london then your responses received has been no guilty all we need from you is to explain whether what it was an order or an accident say lavrov said it was pointless to continue discussions at such a level stressing that russia is still ready for a serious dialogue but not based on the presumption of guilt human rights advocates craig mary told us he believes the case version of events does raise questions over time was given by the british government and shown the misuse of t.v.

footage they could not produce to scruples host if they weren't there was no evidence they did but if they were they could have not got there before noon earlier. and that's not who previously been suggested they were brought before this little. known fifteen oh yeah when they left her car was spotted. northeastward out of soulsby by the different susu do become it was spotted coming back into souls bit one fifteen pm. from the north westerly direction so how did the. to touch the door knob which could come to be inflicted before noon so really doesn't add up with the dog story. the russian military claims extremists in syria's ad lib province have staged am filmed a false flag chemical attack with the intention of framing president assad's government

moscow says the militants will send some footage to the un and circulate the rest online and all with the help of the controversial rescue group the white helmet 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 b.d.'s 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 . according to the russian defense ministry preparations for the supposed that attack were made near the syrian town of current show i couldn't wear an alleged chemical assault took place on the fourth of april last year it says that filming took place in a nearby village where there's also a chemical stockpile washington has rejected russia's claims that the white house mitts are directly involved in staging an attack insisting that there is no evidence for it american officials have warned however that has said if

a chemical attack does take place during any offensive against it their response will be more robust than on previous occasions that's contrary to earlier pledges to leave the country jacqueline virago looks now at the inconsistency severe west policy in syria. 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 truck 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 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'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. the u.n. estimates there are about ten thousand terrorists and that affiliates and the province for me u.s. congressman ron paul believes washington is winning teams these terror groups as long as it benefits u.s. policy in the country evidences out we are playing too many games with their card of the 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. 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. and meshes far east around three hundred thousand soldiers and thirty six thousand military vehicles have been put through that paces they've been taking policy in the country's largest military trails into . one of the most anticipated exercises of the votes talks two thousand and eight. we've seen almost everything from. formations rushing to simulate today the for these helicopters and jets dropping that big. defense crisscrossing the
