well. the little. bit of. the. ukraine has just declared martial law in response to russia detaining three ukrainian navy ships off the coast of crimea on sunday. the deal we have agreed. future for the u.k. u.k. prime minister tres i'm against the e.u. seal of approval for help break that divorce terms though she now faces a tough challenge ahead convincing

a hostile public and parliament back home that is the best deal. russian military khamis a toxic substances were used in an assault on syria's aleppo on saturday why the world's media has largely ignored this chemical attack. it's four o'clock and you're watching international live from our moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. the u.n. security council is to hold an emergency session in three hours time over the russian ukrainian instant in the black sea near crimea moscow says a naval vessels are legally entered its territorial waters ignoring borders service orders and forcing it to detain them russia's foreign minister was less than optimistic about the upcoming u.n.

meeting. talking about the actions we're going to take at the u.n. security council you know we don't have any illusions taking into account that the west has adopted a position of unconditional support for poroshenko and his regime but yesterday's calls from the e.u. to both russia and ukraine to exercise restraint may just think if you ask ukraine to do this it means that kiev has certainly done something that their western sponsors do not approve of i hope that the ukrainian authorities will draw certain conclusions from that. ukraine has declared martial law to protect the country against russian a question after moscow detained three ukrainian naval ships off the coast of crimea on sunday russia's foreign minister says martial law will only provoke rather call for further escalate the situation. explains why this declaration could play into ukraine and president petro poroshenko is handel's. there are certain

advantages to declaring martial law it isn't just the military that's involved all sorts of aspects of civilian life also affected for example it becomes illegal to protest against the government would also give the government complete censorship over the media but it will become illegal for the media to criticize the government could also mean that reserve a simple gov't of the ukrainian government will have a lot more power to call upon as one of the main things is they could potentially it also means the elections a move that is accurate but there it all began yesterday in the early morning when three ukrainian ships approached the. strait in russian territorial waters and refused all communications.

curch straight is very narrow there's only a limited amount of space that many vessels queue to get through there's a huge amount of traffic sometimes you wait for hours to get through it is also important to note that the procedures for crossing the straits of catch a well known to you equate its military as well its navy had previously sent ships through the straits under the curch bridge criminal proceedings over the illegal state border crossing had been initiated under the russian criminal code he's important to highlight the ukraine is aware of the procedures regulating the navigation navy ships through the territorial waters of the russian federation and

the cash in a collie can now they have previously followed these procedures for peaceful maneuvering. ukrainian government various officials of called this incident to all manner of things contrary to the un convention on the law of the sea and the treaty between ukraine and the russian federation on cooperation on the use of the as of c. in the coach straight russian border ships carried out a frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine and now calling on russia to release these sailors who are currently in curch the three vessels are also impounded in. we we've heard reports that three when the sailors an office and two were contract sailors. are in hospital in carriage they've been injured apparently their injuries are not life threatening but ukraine is calling on russia to return those sailors russia has

said that they will face criminal proceedings for illegal entry to russia's territorial waters russia has called for an emergency session of the u.n. security council to discuss this matter you queen has also reached out to the security council pushing its view as to what happened but we've heard from nato we've heard from the european union which are urging for deescalation urging all sides involved to feel cooler heads to prevail to avoid doing anything rash. let's get reaction martin mccauley martin program now russia's foreign minister crania navy a product haitian designed to escalate the war in ukraine let's take a quick listen to what was said before we discuss. you know in the case of ukraine imposing martial law well knowing their habits even without martial law they repeatedly breach international humanitarian law was

firing on residential areas killing civilians with martial law the radicals will feel free to do what they want we very strong the western sponsors to calm down those who try to gain political points at times of hysteria a major upcoming elections in ukraine. well so what we have say missing right is already throwing grenades and flares near the russian embassy of a night is it likely to create further escalation do you think. are unfortunate looks like it because. they said he's not president a situation with ukraine declaring martial law my country member any other case where they actually did that and the situation it rational maritime law is that russia and the ukrainian vessels have the right to sail through those waters but of course. that was when the crimea was part of ukraine and now russia is in

control of the crimea and this means that the russians are in control of these waters these territorial waters under international maritime law and therefore it is up to the koreans to give notice of any vessel which wishes to pass through the current strait and then receive permission to do so he would appear from the russian border do they say they didn't give notice in fact they they treated the church created that territorial waters as if they were in fact ukrainian territory waters instead of russian so therefore from the russian body view they would say that they broke international maritime law. should have reported to the curch authorities to receive permission and then to get through. and the crane has been complaining a lot. in the past the they say that the port of

mariupol which is where these vessels were interest to go has lost a lot of business and it more difficult to to go there and therefore they see themselves as in a very very difficult position we must look at this really from. really a ryall politic point of view russia is the much stronger state it's in control of these waters which controls the culture strait and ukraine really has to abide by russian law even though they may not accept it the difficulty for ukrainians of course is what you then do and president persia is now declared martial law which is quite an extraordinary step to take and one hopes that that does not escalate and nobody does anything which will make the situation more dangerous the un security council will debated and probably probably call on both sides to cool

it and to understand that this is a very very dangerous situation and could escalate to a situation where there is really no going back because of one side attacks the other then the other side will respond and therefore cooler heads needed here and presumably the united nations will debate it and come to that conclusion and call on both sides to cool it and to enter into negotiations to shore this problem and then to ensure doesn't happen again in the future yeah i mean we all sin if we look at the informant taishan of maslova go back to your point he said it was an extraordinary measure. there's been a bit of thing appointing questions raised about the timing of this the fact that the ukrainian president's ratings are so nor. could this be a reason for implementing this marshmallow could it boost his ratings for example.

well it will boost his ratings because he will come out as the savior of the nation he will say i'm here on the president i'm here to defend ukraine and support me so therefore the upcoming elections you would expect him to receive a vote of confidence. from the korean people so therefore that that idea that suspicion of course is a roused by this incident why did they actually take place why didn't they report to the coach authorities that they wanted to go through the case straight as they've done in the past and. the koreans then may have said well out of this we can establish we can make some think. it will do our ratings a tremendous lot of good because one knows that in any type of international situation where the nation is under threat the state is under threat the the president the leader always benefits if you take

a strong stance if you then say oh we're here we've been hundred tack and we must stand up now to the russians and not allow them to dictate to us and i call in on ukrainians to say to support me because this is the unless we do this then we become if you like a fashion of state who are weak state and so on and we really have no rights at all so we must stand up to the russians now and declare that we have sovereignty and we have to be respected and so on but of course he will not want war he will not want to conflict because then ukraine there's no competition really between the created and russia militaries the russians would win very easily because of much much stronger and present pressure and knows that every christian has that so they don't want military conflict they just want a conflict which will in fact increase the standing of the president and into. is

the standing of ukraine ok so you've given the perspective of what you think is happening from the ukrainian point of view we have to ask the question why do you think that the russians felt that they needed to take these actions by opening fire on and detaining the ukrainian ships. well if they didn't the russians weren't paying that these three ships did not give notice that they wanted because really the grayness say no we did let's take it that they didn't give notice well therefore is the approach the kurds straight without permission then the russian border. patrols must in fact intervene and stop them and say you can't do this because you've broken the law there's a law here it's maritime law you have to give notice and receive permission because this is a very narrow waterway and you can't just go through it you will you have to take

you to stand to wait for permission and then wait for other ships to be given permission to go through that very narrow strait so therefore it was incumbent on the russian naval authorities or russian the f.s.b. so on to prevent these ships approaching the cage strait and try attempted to go three without permission so therefore from the russian polish you they're acting they would say according to international maritime law according to russian law and they were perfectly entitled to do what they did ok we'll leave it there author and russia analyst martin mccauley thank you very much for sharing your thoughts here on the program thank you. for your opinion has given its rubber stamp to the braggs it divorce deal reached with the british prime minister trisomy the top brass has made it clear the terms are non-negotiable resume may for hard part and says it's a good deal for the k.

. the deal we have agreed today a lot of bright future for the u.k. m.p.'s will vote on this deal it will be one of the most significant votes that parliament has held for many years on it will depend whether we move forward together into a brighter future or open the door to yet more division and uncertainty the door to division an uncertainty already appears to be open with may's deal now facing its biggest hurdle approval by a hugely hostile parliament and i think it's technically still on the cards from agreement on the deal or no deal breakers that even perhaps another referendum on the situation looks at the possible outcomes. i have heard the european commission president have a separate message for m.p.'s telling them that the deal that has been agreed upon is the only deal possible this is the best. of which is just a burst of push button for europe this is the only post however whether or not this

message is going to be heard by m.p.'s here back in london is the big question are many of them have been disapproving of to recent mazed take on bracks and they don't want to support the deal that has been put in front of them. over to speaking just for fun but just outline political decoration represents a huge and damaging failure been. we've negotiated a good agreement the person lives our interests. is five hundred eighty five pages over testament to broken promises failed to go see asians and abject capitulation to the e.u. . if you. put this is this has been really a very successful and ever in

a difficult situation isn't it the regrettable but inescapable reality that this still keeps even more away as you go through the political climate continues to be good there's mutual trust you are not delivering the brakes it people voted for. we will remain friends of those ghent over decades. thanks. so here back at home opinion certainly don't seem to be interested means we've heard during the last several weeks there have been plenty of talk of a posse. vote of no confidence and that continues to be a possibility here in westminster we have seen several high profile figures resign from their posts in defiance of theresa may's handling of practice it the public here in the u.k. has certainly been meeting quite a bit of reassurance i think what will happen is they will be

a disagreement we won't get to a majority and there will be. no deal parts of the deal goes ahead it's very very difficult to come out of it for a month all seem future so it's so on certainly but it might even be better just to stay here as we say but i didn't have to steal it's possibly the best deal we can get which is worse than. i wish we could stay in given all of the political turmoil that has been and will it looks like continue to be unraveling reporting from london and it's the situation for r.t. . coming up russian chemical experts have confirmed an attack carried out on saturday night on the syrian city of aleppo involve toxic substances all those details after this break.

satyrs financial survival guide i don't buy any i'm on if you. think the friday as of last summer buying from the future tracker was kaiser. and this young the lying circumstances that allowed for these emotions of this very very little while. i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of guys at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on military. armor for cations.

welcome back to the program russian chemical experts have confirmed an attack carried out on saturday night on the syrian city of aleppo involved toxic substances dozens of victims remain in hospital some of them in critical condition . it feels like something is burning inside and my eyes are hurting. the homes it could be in the morning at breakfast i looked at homs and realized that there's something wrong with him he said that he had a stomach ache so i took him back to the hospital. the case has drawn far less attention in the international media than previous chemical attacks eagle is it done except the reasons why. a hospital rush oxygen masks scared and confused children pictures of an aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in hunchy who last

year instantly became a catalyst for a media big these graphic images posted online by activists and people who live in the area killed victims many of them children struggling to breathe children foaming at the mouth. suffering convulsions being carried in the arms of desperate parents the gag on the gasp and the frantic efforts to see lives these images from syria range world leaders on tuesday at the united nations calls for information and accountability in what diplomats said could be a war crime the russian government is denying any involvement in a suspected chemical attack in syria that has a lot of dozens of people dead including many children this comes after witnesses said they saw people collapsing to the ground this time reports of a chlorine attack in aleppo.

so an emergency check ambulance sirens check anxiety and uncertainty in children's eyes check media reaction was this russia has accused syrian rebel fighters of firing shells filled with chlorine gas into the city of aleppo syria and russia accused opposition fighters of carrying out a toxic gas attack so hold on what. what happened there was outrage words this carousel of condemnation and shaming by the world's most powerful like the united states we believe it is highly likely that attack was carried out by the assad regime. it looks a lot like this attack was done by the side regime that's truly an evil person this is an animal well the difference is aleppo is under the control of the syrian government has been for years now slowly but surely clearing out its streets of rubble trying to piece back together normality the chances that animal assad gave

orders to slaughter the innocent is let's say slim hence it's worth a mention maybe but not much more i want to read to rate here is that france does condemned the use of chemical weapons whatever. the uses are they don't care because the attack is coming from the wrong side as it were if you check the mainstream media coverage globally it's a nonevent in if you also check the so-called opposition media in syria course they are saying that well that it could be a plot by the regime no surprise there before how easy and convenient in two wars to instantly pin the blame on the baddest of the bad guys now when the alleged hit potentially just potentially could be ordered by your former allies or you had

given out millions of dollars worth of aid yeah let's not rush to any conclusions. according to the russian defense ministry dozens of people including children were taken to hospital after the aleppo attack it says the nighttime assault was carried out from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring province militant commanders have denied any involvement or an assist insist they don't have chemical weapons. nevertheless syria's foreign ministry is calling on the u.n. to condemn and punish the militants involved in the assault as well as the countries that arm and finance them we spoke to pierre lakoff a french activist in aleppo told us about the aftermath of the attack. on our nose where. we thought a lot of people until seeing at people's for gauging people. every day the situation is still really bad. so still receiving rockets still receiving

more. explosive bullets people. it's not the first time that we've. used during the battle of we just same kind of weapons especially it's really hard to imagine that everything is going to start again but everything is going to happen again in the same way with the worst until now and we're ready for what there is going to. relive to buy has donated around three hundred thousand dollars to a russian tourist whose mother died during a family holiday in the country after hearing family story he contacted our sister channel r.t. expressing his desire to help. earlier we came to dubai on october twenty fifth my mom me in my two daughters and my mother suddenly felt sick she gripped her chest and pool and fell unconscious.

that it would mean she had really complicated surgery elastic five hours and one while the doctor said it was a miracle she survived and she was in critical condition. we're still with us today as later her kidneys failed for three weeks doctors fought for her life they did everything to save her but our november did twentieth her heart stopped. should pull everyone warned us it was the most expensive hospital but we didn't have a choice it was a critical situation it's a heartbreak to lose your mother after so many weeks of fighting for her life.

and that's when a supporter seriously started a fund raising campaign but he was such a large amount not something you can collect easily the next step for us was to write a letter to the ruler of dubai. shaikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum personally paid all the hospital costs and costs of transporting her body to russia as well as family tickets home we'll still list we got news to shake was willing to pay our bills he was paying for everything the. patry shanta body or tickets home we understand he got information very promptly and i did immediately it was like light at the end of the tunnel like a blessing i can return home and leave my mother to rest properly.

i'll be back around thirty minutes before. international time for documentary no fun in the sun. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out just to get out ahead and indeed tread. the trail. once on many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground. just manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame of merry go

round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean really knew. i. was. you. know so for a reason you see this. not to sure with me says but to discover our strengths. to the way be with you because through all of.

which that's why i got a black ribbon tied to. the symbolizes no matter the stroke i go through these have the strength to push through you no matter what i look to i got to have . power and the positivity to just. go about my day everybody. so i just got a positive mindset because you have the negatives like if you have a negative mindset. you think you're doing bothers you i'm going to be pressed. what we say and.
