lizzie of emergency. crews. you know what your population doesn't have money and you've. been doing thirteen crossed areas around the room why what do you do to change your policies and do something that is good for the ag. and good for america in the long room. in the stories that shapes that we are to turn chief speaks exclusively to the to russian suspected by the u.k. of poisoning surrogates his daughter the man's claims triggered a furious response in the u.k. and obvious missed as a joke. the russian military claims terrorists in syria's adlib province have filmed a staged chemical attack and intend to frame the assad government. donald trump signs a new executive order protecting the us from foreign action meddling less than two

months before the country's midterm. this is the weekly national bringing you the global stories that shaped the week. says day the two men accused of poisoning russian former double agent and his daughter in the u.k. they have a world exclusive to r.t. they insisted to the channel's editor in chief margarita simonyan that they had nothing to do with the assassination attempts their version of events was met with fierce criticism in the u.k. and triggered a slew of headlines like to murderous on the holiday from hell and their claims only make you case case stronger. was one of them in them i've been to one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a farmer shooter from the looks on the. if you really

look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. and 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 they are those your real names national yes they are real names and would 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 g.r.u. at work and you meet and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the gerry you but you are being accused of 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 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. artie's editor in chief said she chose not to give her pest opinion leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether to believe the man 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 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 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 and number of british politicians including the former foreign secretary boris johnson didn't mince their words. well you see that you see what's happening now with these q 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 caustic 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 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 not so well but he is widely tipped by the make his 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 the trough and we did with r t saying that the account provided by the two alleged attack is an insult to the public's intelligence and outright lies so downing street wasn't having any of it foreign ministry spokesperson maria's 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 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 their new responses received has been your guilty all we need from you is to explain whether 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 spaced on the presumption of guilt human rights craig murray told us he believes the u.k. special events does raise questions. on the time it was given by the biz government and shown them a c.c.t.v.

footage they could not have used to screwballs 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 car was spotted heading north east would out of soulsby by three different c.c.t.v. cameras it was spotted coming back into souls bit one fifteen pm. from the north westerly direction so how did the they manage to touch their door knob which could can't of been infected before noon so really doesn't add up with the dog story. the russian military claims extremists in serious ad lib province have staged and filmed a false flag chemical attack with the intention of framing president assad's

government's moscow says the militants will send some footage to the un and the rest online and all with the help of the controversial rescue group the white house . filming on the evening of the same day at a joint meeting between representatives of the white house 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 . according to the russian defense ministry preparations for the supposed that attack were made near the syrian town of can show i couldn't when the alleged chemical assaults took place on the fourth of april last year it says the filming took place in nearby village where there's also a chemical stockpile washington has rejected russia's claims that the white how many so directly involved in staging an attack insisting that there is no evidence for it. merican officials have warned however that if the chemical attack does take

place during any offensive against it live their response will be more robust than on previous occasions that was contrary to just leave the country chuckling very good looks now at the inconsistency is of u.s. 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 controversy of a 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 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 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 that there are about ten thousand al qaeda linked terrorists and that affiliates in adelaide province full me u.s. congressman ron paul believes washington is willing to use these terror groups as long as it benefits u.s. policy in the country the evidence is out that we are playing too many games with their card or 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. 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 russia's thought around three hundred thousand soldiers and thirty six thousand military physical said being put through that i say is they've been taking part in the country's largest military trails and kate. is of the horse talk two thousand and eighteen war games. we've seen almost everything from the last almost formations rushing that simulated enemies to. helicopters and jets dropping that pedro's and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails.

a little naval action. here comes the. formation during the battle with he called the support the. reserves to be pushed in the battle. what is remarkable here 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 i'm guilty of from russia and in such a confined and small area who is the exercise is simulated but the difficulties

faced field will translate it's a real combat experience. my . i. doubt that the beaches be cleared of hypothetical martens it's called the big boys that's literally the 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 that money and debt but with the experience knowledge gave is invaluable. donald trump has announced plans to tackle foreign interference in the us elections which he described as a national imagine say on wednesday the president has issued an executive order which focuses on any attempts by individuals or countries to influence by it's the crucial midterm elections in november as seen as the main reason for the timing of the water. and the events that meddling by a foreign status prevent it will be hit with sanctions targeting sectors of strategic significance such as finance defense energy and technology igor stern of

explains trump has declared war on election meddling rules of engagement weapons free. to the assessment show identifier to the maximum extent ascertainable the nature of any foreign interference in any methods employed to executed 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. are you when it comes to new ones on a scale between a sniper rifle and carpet bombing trump is closer to a thermal 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 medaling 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 words in case of any meddling in the investigation will have to. review all evidence within forty five days but chances are you won't see any about. the framework which may be classified in whole or in part shall focus on ensuring that

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 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 power and aeration of the due tois family have a arrived in russia to see the farmlands that could be their future and after visiting here and 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 hurt 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 due tois family have their mind sat in a preemptive move if the government starts saying that we can take land without paying. florence because what has happened many centuries ago my children will not pay for the sins of the forefathers 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 fallon luff with the country straight away i myself believe that there is a future in russia for my family personally give me a siberian winter rather than a summer in the kalahari desert i do not question the marty reporting from the kaluga region. you're up to date with the week's top stories so i'll have more neurons thirty minutes time to see that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time to sit down and talk. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president interim. or somehow want to. have to be like the press was like before three of them or ten people that i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sit.

up. until this time. i'm just not up to set the made up shit. so there are a lot of bills to look. into him about the. and how they. get the money in the book you know we look at the money out of the money i don't worry about. how to get money money is not a mystery just. came up with a don't make. a shuffle scummy have been done. in the world and you'll get a little warmth and you know will be. a wall will.

show what are you so i feel for this i will. all. their. tone of welcome to worlds apart the christian history is full of kids and send it looks like maybe another one coming that's three hundred million strong global orthodox community may soon be forced to take sides as the patriarchy is up against the national poll and must go wrangle over the fate of the faithful in your brain because it already has the point of no return to discuss that i'm now in joined by

richard paul at the hilarious how to foreign relations at the russian orthodox church get an answer it's good to talk to thank you very much for a time just a few days ago the constant an announced in pretty stark terms its decision to eventually ground the suffering to the ukrainian church whatever it might be we'll discuss it now and i say to the ukrainian church keeping him. and that it is probably primarily a political process because if it were the politicians the state dept lobbied 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 really means because not everyone would understand how to sell fully in course of the tradition means independence the orthodox church unlike the roman catholic church consists of fully independent local churches they are not subordinates to one and there is no

single he had of this church is except for jesus christ himself and here from what i understand the constant a noble pay church gay does claim the ride of determining which church is supposed to be independent and which is not yes exactly as they pay.
