that's what it was but. what are your words were. such. a command of the seas to ukrainian navy vessel says he deliberately ignored russia's orders not to enter its waters in the current straits during a clash the board russia and ukraine close to conflicts. in stands led to two emergency sessions of the un security council where russia was accused of being an aggressor. this will never get through she's not going to get a majority we have no idea where this is heading m.p.'s launch

a scathing attack on three of them a strike that plan is the british prime minister battles to win them over the heads of a crucial deceptive it's. russia minute tracks that say toxic substances were used in an assault on the black hole in syria on saturday we look at why the world's media has largely ignored the attack. it's just ten three am head in moscow you're watching international. russia's president vladimir putin has spoken by phone with german chancellor angela merkel they discuss an ongoing dispute between russia and ukraine where putin described this as a provocation by kiev timed for the upcoming presidential elections. meanwhile russia's border security forces issued new details into sunday's clash in the straits which course the two sides close to conflict the captain of one of the

detained ukrainian ships admit consciously acknowledge the commands of russia's border control to stop more and gusty of has more details the russian federal security service has revealed new details chronologically as to what happened on sunday in the strait of kutch they said that they detected the ukrainian naval flotilla early on heading into russian territorial waters they were warned that if they intend to cross the street of kutch as they well knew as they had done previously that they should send notification of their intent to cross the street it's a busy place there's a lot of ships tankers much and fishing vessels waiting queuing to cross through a narrow archway under a bridge of safety concerns there's this queues there's lines and there's a procedure in place of followed it through a number of times the less the ukrainians stormed on ahead than a captain himself the captain of the naval for the tiller said he was aware that

his orders were provoking of but they were his orders so we were i'm with the melissa boy commander of the navy division of the grain and military forces were answered the code straight after crossing the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels i consciously ignored their commands to stop on our boat we had small arms and a machine gun with ammunition i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels in because straits provoker to i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario the federal security service is also in possession of information that says the provocative actions of the ukrainian fleet were ordered by the government in kiev the territorial waters in which some of this showdown this case took place. russian woods is even before the reunion of crimea and russia furthermore the russian federal security service revealed that on board the vessels

of the ukrainian foothill a s b u offices that is ukrainian intelligence agents so this crossing seemingly wasn't just an ordinary re stationing of naval assets but rather a special operation it seems with a mission overseen by intelligence agents if indeed the case perhaps the mission was to give the president a reason justification for the implementation of martial law as he has done. the russian security services published a timeline detailing what's happened in the straits here's a short fish and have events. contrary to the un convention on russian border ships carried out today frankly aggressive actions against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine.

or jungle criminal proceedings over the illegal state border crossings have been initiated to ukraine is aware of the procedures regulating the navigation navy ships they have previously followed these procedures for peaceful maneuvering. the situation has raised much consent among western countries the un security council has held to imagine succession save the clash caleb maupin how small well instead of having one meeting we are having to do emergency sessions of the un security council the first meeting was called by russia the second one called on behalf of ukraine now during the first meeting we did hear from the representative

of russia he accused the forces in the security council the western partners of essential acting like overgrown toddlers and focusing on which resolutions to vote for calling a different meeting and not really focusing on resulting in the tension and resolving the situation furthermore he argued that essentially the provocative actions from ukraine serve a political purpose which to put the person person goes ratings are extremely low but the elect. not so far away so how do you hold on to power his team really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation and ideally a war the necessary next portion of the anti russian drug so that people in the country believe that all their troubles but you to russia now at this second session we did hear from the western countries that we did hear kind of a familiar song from the united states from the u.k. from poland from france all of them accusing russia of being an aggressor and

wanting to annex more territory this is their remarks what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it follows from russia's a legal action of crimea in two thousand and eight because the ukrainian side violated our border in a place which even before twenty forty was russian territory you know russia must respect the full implementation of the minsk brim and you're not an additional i hope that you read the mid-scale greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to comics the sea. and now it surprises me turns out that we occupy the hands of c. is well this is something new if you me for i'd like to assure you create an affair with solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as calm for ukraine to

carry out further provocation prior to the security council meeting the russian foreign ministry was asked what their expectations were they said essentially said that they really had no allusions that they expected that regardless of the facts they present before the council that they would fall on deaf ears and essentially the same script would be repeated and it seems that the prediction we heard from the russian foreign ministry has turned out to be correct a spoke exclusively with russia's first step it's a permanent. representative to the united nations dmitri polanski he said western palace officially at least are fusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing by ukraine first of all the really don't want to put the blame on ukraine in any case that's their position understeer physician for many years whatever you karim does whatever crimes ukrainian leaders come eat they just don't want to acknowledge these and

secondly the dystopic of the whole situation is developing very very quickly very fast so that the moment when for example at the moment when we called for this meeting in the morning. i didn't dispose of this kind of information. but then it came several international aegis is so outrageous and. really decided to walk towards it during the security council meeting i think this is this is very important these shows really to what extent of the korean side was eager to commit this provocation and to do it in the most in the most violent violent way they didn't even care we were exactly they will ok did they just needed to engage with border guards and to create a problem for us so i think that with the with a piece of time when we get more information because you know the investigation is . ongoing we'll get more details to support this theory and maybe this point

of time it will be it will be more difficult for for my colleagues in security council to which we can or this information republican senator for virginia richard black says many u.n. members appear to be jumping to conclusions on the cut straight to speak. the united nations. is not very deliberate urban supposed to be a deliberative body but. everyone has rushed to judgment without being able to examine the facts of the scituate. obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to tramp sit through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their

rights under the treaty but the fact that the united nations jumps to conclusions without examining the facts is not encouraging what at least there is an opportunity for the claims to be presented the ukrainians were perhaps a bit reckless and perhaps. perhaps there was an intention to create a provocation i don't count that out at all we do know that president ford shango. has eighty percent disapproval ratings he is up for reelection in twenty nine teams something must be done to change the narrative if he's to have a chance of reelection and if you look at it this incident changes the narrative and the declaration of martial law which he has proposed would also change the narrative. a day off easily disagree to indorse have cracks it tail

to resume a he's been back and parliaments trying to win of a skeptical m.p.'s but she'll face a massive challenge in the next two weeks to wind down the many doubts as ahead of the vote on the same to be eleventh and as to say a chicken a has the latest from london but the british prime minister's schedule has been jam packed recently as she tries to save face and see her bracks a deal and as she describes it get on with it despite being met. with lots and lots of resistance back home following of being in brussels this weekend for the e.u. summit where she did in fact c.e.u. leaders indorse her bracks a deal she's now back home in westminster and facing the house of commons and this is where her mean adversary is at the moment because despite presenting them today with a statement on leaving the e.u. and answering their questions on hours on end it remains clear that for now m.p.'s

are not showing very many signs of being ready to let her off the hook easily when it comes to this deal are to choose a parliament over these coming weeks is to examine this deal in detail to debate it respectfully there could be no joe this deal would leave us with the worst of all worlds how come the prime minister expect the house to vote to put the country in such a weak position. of vision to it we have no idea where this is heading why can't people actually have the chance to have their say in a people's vote if you really trust them she would do it the prime minister of the whole house knows the mathematics of. this will never get through to use not going to get a majority in this house for this do you because it would leave the british people worse off giving up control or not taking back that. well look time is certainly

ticking and the pressure is piling up as we expect a so-called meaningful vote to take place at the house of commons that date has now been set for december eleventh and this vote will show of the world really if the last. months of torture of negotiations to try to get a deal on the table have been worth it or whether or not it's more chaos is yet to come radio host john thing. theresa may faces an impossible task getting parliament's approval i think she's got a very short book you bake then i'm going to back it so that's the ten vote i think trees are main power of the moment out of the window jenny coburn said labor will not trade the tories both direction revenues was rich eisen the commons are well on rejection i think should have no choice but to resign if this isn't the bright

shape that we xochitl know macho which shall i go on as sure asian my she's got a possible task she's going to fail in my being more new to the bike. what else will seem wrong. but all roads just don't call. me i'll get to see her out disdaining to come after her. and in detroit because the trail. went something and find themselves worlds apart we just to look for common ground.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to. get it right. this is like the three of them or people. interested in the why. aren't they said. welcome back to. 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 a critical condition but. 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 is strong far less attention in the international media than previous chemical attacks igor standoff looks at the reasons why a hospital rush oxygen masks scared and confused children pictures of an aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in the un she 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 save 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 and sirens check anxiety and uncertainty in children's eyes check the 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. 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 side 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 soltz was carried out from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring in lim province minutes and commanders have denied any involvement and then says they

don't have chemical weapons. nevertheless syria's foreign ministry is calling on the un to condemn and punish the militants involved in the assault as one of the country's finance them we spoke to appear like or the french activist in their lap who told us about the aftermath of the attack but. now it knows where. we saw a lot of people until seeing people's for gauging it's pretty bad people coming from everywhere. every day the situation is still really bad in the law so that it has still receiving rockets to receiving more. explosives that lets people keep saying. it's not the first time that we call with them used during the battle for the project that we just same kind of weapons basically it's really hard to imagine that everything is going to start again that everything is going to happen again in the same way with if the worse until now and we are ready for whatever is going to the. u.k.

government funded organization which influences political and public opinion about alleged malign russian activities has reacted to a recently documents the triumph was posted online by the hacker group anonymous last week prompting the integrity initiative to issue a statement pretty boy who has the details well integrity and has finally replied it's taken them a while because artie first spoke about this story last week but originally these documents were leaked at the start of the month and the statement talks about the organization itself that it's an international public program that was set up back in twenty fifteen in order to counter dissent from ation and malign influence and also the fact that it's funded by the u.k. foreign office or at least it has been for the past two years before that its money came from private grants and in relation to the leaked documents specific case the group said that it's a matter of deep regret that they were stolen take

a. listen to what they had to say in more detail we've not yet had the chance to analyze all of the documents so cannot say with confidence where the they were genuine who whether they include doctored or false material though it is clear that much of the material is dated and was never used so you can see the group distancing itself from the leaked documents that are saying they're not sure if that genuine they haven't had time to verify whether they're all real and they also point out that a lot of the documents contain sensitive contact details some of people that they were actually considering getting in touch with but hadn't got in touch with the now faced with the headache of contacting these people and explaining about this data breach even though they've had essentially nothing to do with the group so clearly not very happy about this leak and just to refresh your memory in regards to the original story the hack documents have pared through the anonymous hacking

website they got their hands on this trove of classified documents that they say proves that the u.k. foreign office is funding this sort of anti russia campaign and as we saw in the statement that the group says that its sole purpose is to counter this information and as a result inevitably that means dealing with a lot of stuff to do with russia where they claim a lot of dissent from ation comes from and just to give you an example of the sort of campaigns that the group. conducts according to these leaked documents you may have heard allegations that russia has was meddling in the catalonian independence referendum for example well that story may have been helped along by integrity initiative by this group how well a journalist after lated to the group originally posted that story after

that other. mainstream media organizations started talking about it as well so that for you is how the system appears to be working that's just one example and of course it's all conducted under the banner of. of saving democratic institutions preventing the spread of dissent from ation and fighting the good fight thanks for watching r t international more top stories in half an hour's time. would it. i'm this young the lying circumstances that's a load for the emergence of this survey only very landfall violence i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of dies at some point in the future it's finally a political issue in iraq that has taken on the military. and i'm

a for occasions. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it mean when the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to present and that we're even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't their way.

with no make good manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not doing the whole middle the root signals. to the real news is really cold. need to control me. i'm a little but i think it's ended up by a good one but when there's real body. they

will go out on. one of them will not be assured of an innocent. victim to i don't want that i or i can't listen to me as i knew she was going to the outcome of community yeah i am classy. he could feel that he had a chicken dad's going to say he made a move on to uphold the law that he i want to go to before i don't mess with. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be close it's like that before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my college. first sip.

from. a low in welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle. what is the next step for the saga known as drags it also is a stage being said to finally end the syrian conflict and why its m i six scrambling to stop trying to.

cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have to me he's a political analyst with international and we have authored them choke he is deputy dean at the department of political science at moscow state university all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate let me go to you first here well it's done at least this stage of brags that the european union has accepted to resumes deal the problem is it doesn't look like the deal has been accepted in her own country yet has to face parliament and there's a lot of. squabbling to say the least that it won't get through but what is the context of all of this here because you know i was trained as a historian we had the concept of the concert to europe we had balance of power in europe is that balance gone now well that this balance is not always.
