but it was very. little in the past and really it's still. the. ukraine declares martial law in response to russia detaining three of its navy ships off the coast of crimea on sunday russia says the presence of the vessels in its waters was a provocation. the deal we have agreed on looks a bright future for the u.k. . british prime minister theresa may seal of approval for her break that divorce

terms though she now faces a massive challenge to convince a hostile public on all of them and back home in fact it's the best way forward. and russian military experts say toxic substances were used in an assault on aleppo in syria on saturday we look at why the world's media has largely ignored the chemical attack. it's five o'clock and you're watching international live from our moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. ukraine's declared martial law to protect the country against the russian aggression months after russia detained three ukrainian navy ships off the coast of crimea on sunday moscow says the vessels illegally entered its territorial waters in the carriage strait ignoring orders

from the border service. also russia analyst martin mccauley believes the actions taken by ukraine could help boost poroshenko his ratings. based on president a situation with ukraine declaring martial law my country member or any other case where they actually did that 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 code straight 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 president persia goes now declared martial law which is quite an extraordinary step to take it will boost his rating because he will come out as the savior of the nation he will say i'm here and the president i'm here to defend ukraine and support me but of course he will not want war he will not want to conflict the russians would win very easily because of much much stronger and

present pressure and you know that every. so they don't want military conflict they just want a conflict which will in fact increase the standing of the president and increase the standing of ukraine from the russian polish they are acting they would say according to international maritime law and according to russian law and they were perfectly entitled to do what they did 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 in school it 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 cool heads are needed here. is not cast off as a nice city of quetta challenge joins us live now. what does this declaration mean

for the current situation. can you hear me were having technical difficulties. can you hear me. ok i'm just talking about the declaration and what it means for the current situation can you explain to us. well it has a very wide reaching consequences consequences that are mostly advantageous to the government to the president of ukraine recently there's been some political turbulence we're talking about thousands of people protesting all over ukraine protesting over new tariffs protesting over lack of heating over a lack of hot water in this cold season you know it's subzero temperatures in many parts of ukraine and now the martial law has been declared in ukraine protests

become illegal because the country is supposed to in theory be entirely focused on war on the war industry and producing military goods on supplying soldiers in this case however most of the restrictions that we're hearing about will affect civilian life rather than military life so the ukrainian government will be able to censor of media outlets. channels newspapers online publications and remove any criticism of the ukrainian government. be able to for example. actions to delay elections elections by the way in which current president poroshenko he's in the polls he's third he's fourth so he's the opposition to his rivals being unable to start their campaigns to criticize him is only going to be an advantage for him it will give him dime to consolidate

ukrainian society around him and to spread the message that. this is all russian aggression because the ukrainian president has been actively calling together the un security council the. ukraine nato council the other organizations such as the normandy for trying to get the message across that this is all russian aggression and russia says that it has no illusions as to the reactions. 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. and his regime but yesterday's calls from the e.u. to both russia and ukraine to exercise restraint may just think crane 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 is. to go back to what

happened yesterday this incident that took place the russian version is that ukraine violated its territorial waters it all routes back to the one nine hundred eighty two un convention on the law of the sea which allows countries third parties third countries to sail through to navigate through the territorial waters of other countries so long as they are temporarily restricted folk whatever reason the waters around the kurds strait the kutch bridge yesterday was restricted they were temporarily closed ukraine knew this and according to the law of the sea they couldn't of pasta the other argument here is of course that ukraine doesn't recognize these waters as russian which is what some of ukraine some ukrainians are saying which doesn't match because previously ukraine always notified the russian side that they were going to travel through the cut straight they sent notification

ahead they were given guides to guide them through the through the narrow passage this time however they chose to barge through literally barge through the latest revealed huge we've seen show ukrainian vessels and three vessels right behind me impounded now together the sailors jailed for now those three vessels maneuvering dangerously next to her. huge queues of vessels that were waiting to pass through the cut straight and the russians said that they were forced to employ weapons in order to stop the ukrainian maneuvering.

ukraine chris claims that it did notify the russian side that its ships with vessels naval vessels were going to pass through the cut rate under the current bridge the russians say they received no such notification which is why this incident took place where this change took place the ukrainian side though says this was a provocation by the russian side this was uncalled for and that this was another act an open act of war an act of aggression against the ukrainian state. contrary to the un convention on the lure of the sea and the treaty between ukraine and the russian federation on cooperation on the use of the as a of c. in the coach straits russian border ships carried out a frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of

ukraine. we will be hearing much more reaction coming in from there so organizations the u.n. various countries as well as details emerging countries decide which way they lean but russia did mr lavrov the russian foreign minister did say that you know the message we've heard so far from nato from the you calling for deescalation calling for both sides to calm down and to behave coolly to behave calmly in a rational manner well that speaks volumes for now though ukraine is calling on russia to release the two dozen. jailed sailors three of them injured no life threatening injuries and to release the three vessels impounded behind my back so far the russian state says that the sailors will be prosecuted for

illegally entering russian territorial waters. this incident. reporting from. the european union has given. to with the british prime minister. made it clear the terms are non-negotiable trisomy. good deal. 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. already appears to be open with a maze deal now facing its biggest hurdle approval by a hugely hostile parliament anything is technically still on the cards from agreement on the deal and no deal bragg's it even perhaps another referendum

artie's alister joke that 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 to push the button for europe. only didn't post however whether or not this message is going to be heard by m.p.'s here back in london is the big question and many of them have been disapproving of to recent mazed take on bracks said and they don't want to support the deal that has been put in front of them. over to speaking just for fun by lunchtime line political decoration represents a huge and damaging failure in news and we've negotiated

a good agreement that person lives our interests than the values 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 deal gets 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 days. 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. the 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 means 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 disagreement we won't get to a majority and there will be. no deal parts of the deal goes ahead it's favor difficult to come out of it for an unforeseen future so it's so uncertain but it might even be better just to stay here as we say rather than have to steal it's possibly the best deal we can get which is worse than. voted of 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 i'm for r.t.

. right he has junk on things theresa may faces an impossible task getting parliament's approval. i'm afraid when this come back comes back to the commons i think she's got a very old pill should go i mean we know today from ali foster from the e.u. bakes they're not going to back it so that's the tension. that keeps the trees the main power of the moment out of the window which jamie coburn today has said labor will not trade tories direction remain as well as in the commons will reject it i think should have no choice them but to resign this isn't the bright that we so cheerful no matter which side you're on a show duration mary she's got any possible task she's going to fail in my opinion coming up parents and u.k. are openly frustrated after finding out that the children have been studying with eight year old a classmate i thought of this break. and

that's the underlying circumstances that allowed for these emergence of this very very lengthy violence 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 the military. on this occasion and.

welcome back to the program russian chemical experts have confirmed 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 a critical condition. it feels like something is burning inside and my eyes are hurting. the homes that look to 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 because the dollar looks at 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 and 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 it with 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 where is 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 but. 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 the 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 attack it says the nighttime assault was carried out from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring province but it's an commanders have denied any involvement no 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 all men finance them we spoke to in a call for french activist aleppo who told us about the aftermath of the attack. on

our nose where. we saw a lot of people until seeing at people's for gauging it's really bad people. every day the situation is still very bad so still receiving rockets was to receiving more. explosives that lets people. it's not the first time that we can recall that they used during the battle of we just same kind of weapons but it's really hard to imagine that everything is going to start again that everything is going to happen again in the same way we lived or worse until now and we are ready for whatever is going to be the. parents in the british town of it which have been speaking of the shock that's after discovering an iranian asylum seeker apparently thirty had been attending their children's school after posing as a child. they should have done more checks i blame the home office it was scary

because you don't know who this person is it supposed to be safe i'm ashamed for the school and the government for allowing this to happen they have both failed to protect our children the teachers should be sacked if the kids knew he's the eight years how come the school didn't know. it's not right it's the children so you it's crossed the line if someone says they are fifteen you have to believe them but you don't know what they are doing there especially when there are young girls at the school he claimed to be fifteen years old he was suspended after pupils raise their suspicions over their new classmate a student posted a snap type of chat picture of him in class with the comment how's their thirty year old man in our math class the man is now facing deportation with the home office investigating the case he entered britain under the name of students found out on his facebook profile that he'd been an architecture student in iran that was before he then moved to germany also they discovered pictures of him with

a full beard drinking beer one student said civil told him he was married with two children. we put the issue up for debate. should have been there in the first place it's a clear failure of the border services it's a clear failure of the education system especially when the only train supposedly highly trained border agencies allowed him to come through through the process put him into a school if there are genuine refugees out there there is a process that they have to follow they have to be screened and they have to have a look at those background checks and i'm pretty certain. the authorities will be looking into this in in more detail to see where they're fairly it's happened the difference if you like between stephen myself is that i think immigration supporting refugees is a good think it's value to our societies in riches communities i think it

is asylum for the lot of the hundred we're not against asylum seekers clearly we're not against asylum sciri and we're not against immigration that's a really long time did not against us really worry is that a thirty year old man has got into a school and put those children at risk on the last report sixty five percent of those questioned a second time over there was found to be over eighteen now the equator around four hundred eight the last week or so it was four hundred eight people that's four hundred eight possibilities of a. let's get that into context these are people who have lied to deliberately get in the country and we don't know quite ground and there is a possibility i think if i hold it we thought of not doing their job from the line to be a refugee steve it is far fetched to be you know stretching your son we're not far from being who is lying to you trying to. get money just to be. the messiah when it was a refugee are fixed in zero point seven of our g.d.p. it's been supported for refugees are the most we know it shouldn't be our poverty

in this because we will point out we are as deprivation english and conduit a lot of us in the school was trying to do political correctness and squash it which is wrong if there's an issue raise it. news round up for now in the meantime why not look us up on social media or our web site about salty dog called i'll be back in around thirteen minutes but first a lot international and sophie and. you

know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. what is the next step for the saga known as briggs and also is a stage being said to finally end the syrian conflict and why is m i six scrambling to stop trying.

to please go camp so now we can free people that can. and their legs so the empire can. see housing as they are high. to talk about with you go here with us because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does patients when they have problems with walking talking here are some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the skull gets thicker in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin into your muscle all the way down to the bone and there is no really. we're just not sure this is just over.

their rivalry between the u.s. and iran nice threatening to tear iraq apart can the war torn country manage to pressure from both sides to talk about this i'm joined by dr ali allawi iraq's former minister of trade defense and finance. emerging from a life or death struggle against isis iraq is managing to hold itself together while hoping that the new faces in the capital will steer it forward safe and sound but with iran and the united states using iraq as a competitive arena can baghdad stay out of the turn around washington cold war forever does the new government risk being torn apart by the foreign players

rivalry over is the profit to be made from trying to play both sides. dr allawi rocks warmer minister of trade stefansson. and finance welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today dr levy the spokesman for the u.s. led coalition in iraq has said that american forces will remain in the country as long as they're needed there earlier the pentagon said that u.s. troops would withdraw when diasters decide it do you think that will happen yes i think so i mean there really is no need for them militarily on this resurgence of the isis or dyce. activity seems to be some. incidents taking place along the york city in front to which seems to indicate that there is the possibility of dice regrouping in that area so unless and until that threat is removed.
