thank you. i. think turkey and saudi arabia over a dissident journalist disappearance the u.s. gets called in the diplomatic crossfire regarding its response. assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything. to you in the world chemical weapons watchdog gathers to discuss funding of a new power the o.p.c. given. guilty couldn't build up before but russia slams the movers in their legitimate initiative. and france is accused of allowing

a toxic pesticide to be used on its current being territory of martinique. own up to poisoning. would have swallow it and. i don't want you to know it was from here and the reason. officials knew and no one there alerted the populations. why they're welcome to another use have international four pm this wednesday afternoon in moscow and. first of all it makes them regarding the dissident saudi journalist who went missing in turkey more than a week ago security video today has been obtained by a turkish t.v. channel which shows your melkus soucie entering the saudi consulate in istanbul and he's not been seen since with the latest is a senior correspondent. new details and accusations are emerging with the

disappearance of a dissident journalist after he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul days ago we saw c.c.t.v. footage apparently showing jamal the shoghi fierce critic of saudi arabia entering the consulate new footage released by turkish media shows a black vehicle with tinted windows entering the premises of the consulate shortly after and leaving just minutes later the predominant theory echoed by both turkish and foreign media is that he has either been kidnapped or murdered and that saudi arabia is using the confusion to shift blame the use anonymous social media accounts to blame turkey and imply that turkey is behind the disappearance of shogun they are trying to say we murdered him but we will put the blame on another country meaning turkey saudi arabia has since allowed both journalists and investigators into the consulate to show that jamal isn't there days after his

disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him leaving who's responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate responsible for that you don't have cameras that of course you do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove it the b.b.c. interviewed mr shrug just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia i hear. of a list of a friend who did. commit in the towards to be at least to make you feel as you do mr shoghi who has more than a million followers on twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post. the paper said that it would be a monstrous and unfathomable additive he has been murdered and with this much

attention in the case where about to find out more sooner rather than later. meantime u.s. state department officials say they spoken to saudi arabia over the journalist mysterious disappearance he spent the past year in the u.s. increasing concern over the fifty nine year old's wealth put pressure on washington from all sides including american journalists to. severely weak it's mean i'm his first reports of his disappearance and that statement from secretary pompei oh are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything is that your assumption of what was the state department doing for the state department was engaged at the highest levels and also at the working level and having conversations with saudi government officials and i'll leave it at that and so what was the reason behind that delay statement i wouldn't i wouldn't call it a delay why has not secretary powell has said that if the reports are true and the

saudis our allies turn out to be cold blooded killers that there will be repercussions we're going to wait until the facts come out and we call again for a thorough and transparent investigation or be repercussion again let me say this one more time i'll leave it at that i don't have any i don't have anything more for you on this today last time i'll say this i don't have anything more for you on this today i don't have anything more for you on that and when i do i would be happy to give it to you. the executive director of the ron paul peace institute told us donald trump needs to tread carefully over his response no will risk alienating a key middle east. the president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tied his mass to a degree to moderate and some of the crown prince of saudi arabia so he's going to go over there and he's going to start accusing them of murdering kushal ji then he's going to fight him in his middle east policy in a shambles so he's in

a very delicate situation i think it really underscores the toxicity of the u.s. saudi relationships which we actually see being unraveled as was for the stores to pre-fill the flumist red cavaney his first argument as a u.s. supreme court judge the bitterness and the anger of his opponents over his appointment remains his role as ever caleb maupin takes a look at how it could have long lasting political repercussions after a great deal of controversy brett kavanaugh has been confirmed on to the u.s. supreme court is that justice now as if all that controversy weren't enough we now have donald trump throwing some fuel on the fire on behalf of our nation i want to apologize. to bread and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure that's after civility disappeared as certain elements just wanted to stop brett kavanaugh in the twitter verse things got particularly ugly

embarrassed right now where they meant to be funny. and i will have mexican they. read. but it all seems to be from the bottom of their heart. and this. is what. my feeling is when the lines between politics and showbiz are blurring for good it seems just look at them. i think you're great. it and a best friend a girl could have back at. your very handsome girl until you're not but if you said thank you very much thanks very much we'll see you tomorrow well ok you will.

bird obama yeah right now oh is that you're there. it's only natural that you know who is in charge of the oval office function you may get fired if you're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired we knew he was. when he walked in. the militant holder who syria's on the verge of seeing a demilitarized zone put in place agreements on italy province between the russian and turkish presidents will confirm mid september the latest on him today they want his roof a national reporting now we're at the crossroads a very crucial moment in many believe that serious fate will depend on how things develop and progress regards province in syria this is the last large area inside

the country controlled by the into government forces and clearly once it is resolved we may start talking about the end of the almost eight year old devastating bloody conflict in syria otherwise about its continuation so we had a chance to ask or russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov about what's going on on the ground and he sounded very optimistic to the loons to the agreements are being fulfilled without turkish partners having the main role they're actively fighting to get all groups to cooperate on information confirms that process is going on october the fifteenth is when the demilitarized zone is will start functioning but a day or two's difference will not matter the quality of the work is much more important and we support them according to the agreement reached between the gun and welcomed by the syrian government there are two major deadlines marking two major stages of this process first of all how the weapons should be removed german

from this supposed fifteen to twenty kilometer deep by. round the province by wednesday october tenth which is today within next five days all the militants including the ready called jihadists should also leave this area so that this may start functioning properly as it is supposed and agreed to it is very hard to. verify. independently that used information but we hear from some opposition groups including those inside the province and those based outside syria from turkish media as well that the reason progress said it's huge on the ground tang's mortars rockets multiple launch systems have already been reportedly removed from this area and that may sound like a positive achievement but we also know that not all of the radical extremist groups agreed to participate in this initiative so this is why everybody tends to

speak about the success with a certain care and within the next days we can say that the fate of syria will be decided. locals on the french island of martinique in the caribbean say their health is being put at risk because of toxic pesticides used to the chemicals banned on mainland from said cell for the islanders with a load for use on the banana plantations for decades and now they claim it's causing them serious illness.

in the nine hundred seven this is this kind of ground it was banned in the usa as a during this period last started using it in martinique until ninety ninety four so the question is why. for years we have sworn and inhaled these past decides not one year or two because he is on the regional health agency new officials need to know one large population this is very. soon it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of the article you read the priority is to determine the number of farmers who were

working in the banana plantations i don't know there are hundreds many of them who died of prostate cancer and many had premature baby lisa why did they let french people eat the sweet potato fries because they contaminated but the nasty the same potatoes drain same period and. when one is aware that a product is toxic and still uses it as assassination that is murder the french state is complicit in this assassination because they are also right. of toxic products. the state must take its share of responsibility for this belief must make progress on the path of for abrasion and projects i hope that collectively will put our efforts toward zero cortico in food that's the only thing that makes sense so please if this were not one state facts are there and out here is that it is unfortunately irreversible. i

expect the culprits to take responsibility and face the consequences. trouble on paradise island us after this break. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

descending into tribalism and cultural trench warfare highly contentious spread cavanagh supreme court nomination process has ignite russian envoy to the o p c w have this to say on the matter. we believe that the potential decision on the o.p.c. budget which according to the secretary its plan should increase by four million euros is illegitimate it's a direct outcome of the session taken in june we believe our colleagues are planning to use the money for granting power to the. to identify the guilty and we believe that decision should be blocked. well of course russia's concerns on this come at a time when we've seen a wave of blame and accusations thrown in its direction and the concern there would be that this comes at a time of a so so called anti russia euphoria because this. decision to have the o.p.c. w. be able to assign blame if you will comes after a u.k.

initiative was voted on in the summer where eighty two countries of one hundred ninety three that are members of the o.p.c. w. voted in support of having be having this be the new rule put in place and we do know that as many as twenty four countries were against this twenty four abstained and others were just not present at this vote and the russian envoy there also had to point out that he believes that the script. and accusations were baseless he has said that neither the o.p.c. w nor porton down have been able to identify origins of things like the agent having been talked about this whole time as well as he said there is no doubt according to the russian envoy that porton down has been able and continues to be able to work with novacek type agents and he's also had to point out that over one hundred forty peyton's have been linked to talk sick agents of this type used in

the u.s. so clearly these arguments have sort of been made before by russia who is of course denied multiple times any of the accusation that has come its way but that has certainly fallen on deaf ears and is now back on the table at the o.p.c. w. all right with a preview from other than the situation and thank you very much thank you for watching us as well as twenty five minutes post for moscow time always so much more normal breaking stories of course. if you get up you can download it. freely go straight to mobile devices and check it out see dot com have your say in all the stories you see from.
