but. what are your words were. uttered. the commander of the seas do you cranium navy vessel says he deliberately ignored russia's orders not to and risk what is in the head straits during a clash that port russia and ukraine claims to conflict. the incidents led to to imagine sea sessions at the un security council where russia was accused of being an aggressor. never gets through she's not going to give it georgie we have no idea where this is heading. and pays no interest scathing attack comes to reason
9:01 pm
may surprise said crime as the british prime minister battles to win them over the head of a crucial to set up a very. russian military experts say toxic substances were used in an assault on that and say we're on soft day we look at why the world's media has largely ignored the chemical attack. is just ten five am head in the russian capital we are watching. russia's president vladimir putin has spoken by side with german chancellor angela merkel they discussed an ongoing dispute between russia and ukraine which putin described it as a provocation by kiev timed for the upcoming presidential election. meanwhile russia's border security forces issued new details into sunday's clash in the cage strait which forced the two sides close to conflicts the captain of one of the detained
9:02 pm
ukrainian ships admit he consciously ignored the commands of russia's border control to stop more gusty as 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 intended 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 unman fishing vessels waiting queuing to cross through a narrow archway under a bridge so of safety concerns there's this queues there's lines and there's a procedure in place of followed 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
9:03 pm
his orders were provoking of but they were his orders. i'm not 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 the car straits provoke it if i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario pull the federal security service is also in position 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 chase took. russian woods is even before the reunion of crimea and russia furthermore the russian federal security service revealed that on board the
9:04 pm
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. this situation has raised much concern among western countries the un security council has health to mention successions a for the class can have more pain has more so there were two emergency meetings of the un security council not while the meetings were called regarding the situation in the current strait now at this point the first meeting was called by russia and western countries did not approve of the
9:05 pm
agenda items so it was not adopted the agenda was not adopted there was then a second meeting called on behalf of ukraine now the representative of russia spoke at the first session when he spoke he accused western partners of behaving like overgrown toddlers essentially by quibbling over resolutions and not simply working to resolve the crisis furthermore he pointed out that the provocative actions of the ukraine are coming as a ukrainian presidential election approaches and he pointed out that poroshenko needs to boost his ratings with prison persian goes ratings are extremely low but the elections not so far away so how do you hold on to power his team really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation in a war the necessary next portion of the anti russian drug so that people in the country believe that all the troubles that used to russia the second session was called on behalf of ukraine we heard from the united kingdom france poland and they
9:06 pm
rolled out a narrative that we have heard many times before about russia being supposedly an aggressor threatening the world and wanting to annex more territory what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it follows on from russia's illegal an exception of crimea in two thousand the flutie because the ukrainian side violates a job order in a place which even before twenty forty was russian territory. russia must respect the full implementation of the minsk agreement. you're in the ditch and i hope that you read the miscue greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to comics the sea. and now it's surprisingly turns out that we occupy the hands of c. as well this is something new if you me i'd like to assure you korean affair with solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as common for ukraine to carry
9:07 pm
out further provocation before the un security council meeting began the russian foreign ministry was asked to comment on what it expected of the proceedings they said that they had no illusions they expected that as has happened many times before regardless of what facts they presented before the security council these facts would fall on deaf ears and the same narrative would be rolled out by western leaders and it appears that the prediction given by the russian foreign ministry has proved to be correct taste like exclusively with russia's deputy permanent representative to the united nations to me. he said western powers have refused to address russia's concerns in the dispute with ukraine. so we tried to score some trade on these concrete provocation we tried to ask everybody why exactly the ukrainian ships are that were previously interacted with
9:08 pm
our border guards and which passed the the coach straight without any problems with the ships who know all the rules all the procedures suddenly decided to avoid them and to engage in these in this provocation so that's why we tried to ask these questions or to our fellow members and to get an answer from them and actually it i discovered that they were not very eager to discuss these concrete situation the immediately changed to the alleged an annexation of crimea by my country which we of course are far as they denied and i specifically mentioned that crimea was not topical security council agenda. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence on the ukraine are really displayed session our attitude to the ukrainian side might feel
9:09 pm
a little bit and bold and to engage in further provocations of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any reproaches from from western side that they did something wrong though it seems to me that the issues are slightly clear it is directly linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is they're actually linked to the falling ratings of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually awarded. calling calling these things by their real value. so we already got used to the situation when there is kind of list of scenes of russia. allegedly by some western developed countries like you know. it's kinda first of all in there being in you married to one after another for many occasions and actually they don't do one dear tool to check whether these this case is completed or not so
9:10 pm
whether there are proofs. that russia was behind this and of course there are no proofs that russia is behind any of these cases so this is kind of ritual kind of kind of mantra when they are mentioning russia they need to mention all the alleged wrongdoing that we are. allegedly responsible for we've got used to it if we don't agree with the with our fault in these cases it's just kind of ritual that they need for i don't know internal consumption or for for external consumption. so a lot of my colleagues the really feel sympathy with what we do and with our position but because of their official capacity of course they can't really displayed openly and while we have some you know official contacts while we have some more closed meetings the discussions are more sincere more frank and some of them really really
9:11 pm
great degree of understanding of our motivation of our action the ask a lot of questions about the positions of ukraine so we think that we need to continue this work even though wars sometimes are always me me me seem to be to be sounding alone but but that shouldn't discourage us. a day after eight leaders agreed to endorse her bracks a deal to resume a has been back in her own parliaments trying to win over skeptical m.p.'s but she'll face a massive challenge in the next two weeks to win around the many doubt is ahead of the vote on december eleventh nastasya check in the house the latest from london 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. scribe's it and 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.
9:12 pm
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
9:13 pm
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 not taking back and 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 had been worth it or whether or not it's more chaos is yet to come. russian chemical experts have confirmed an attack carried out on sunday night on the syrian city of aleppo involves toxic substances dozens of victims
9:14 pm
remain in hospital some of them in 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 true in far less attention in the international media than previous chemical attacks it was done of 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 one shoe 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
9:15 pm
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 ambulance sirens check anxiety and uncertainty in children's eyes joke media reaction was this russia has accused syrian rebel fighters of firing shells filled with chlorine gas into the city of
9:16 pm
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
9:17 pm
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 you know if you also check the so-called opposition media side in syria of 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 the al qaeda linked group in neighboring adelaide
9:18 pm
province militants commanders have denied any involvement and insists they don't have chemical weapons. never the last syria's foreign ministry is calling on the u.n. to condemn and punish the militants involved in the assault as well as the country says and finance them we spoke to pierre lakoff french activist in aleppo who told us about the aftermath of the attack but with. the knowledge knows where. we thought the people until seeing people smoking it's really bad people but it's better. every day the situation is still very bad so that it has still receiving rockets to receiving molds or. explosives but that's people today. it's not the first time that this would be called would be used during the battle for the project that we've just same kind of weapons specially trained 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 worse until now and we are grateful but there is
9:19 pm
going to be. a group of high school students in the u.s. have avoided punishments for what appeared to be a nazi salute during a problem faced say the barbary school districts in west concent conducted an investigation and was that no action could be taken due to the student's first amendment rights the photo was taken back in may students of barbara high school can be seen raising their brights arms some of the boys later spoke to the media and said they were simply waiving bots many people found that explanation convincing the image went viral online and there were widespread course the punishments a school district's official issued a statement on the case. we cannot know the intentions in the hearts of those who were involved more over because of students first amendment rights the district is not in a position to punish the students for their actions. but we're now joined by antiwar
9:20 pm
activists a good coach again an independent political analyst of the sun trade good to have you both on the program what this system will do you agree with the outrage around this picture because twitter and people online have called it hateful frightening disappointing do you agree with they say let's start with the festival. well i definitely are i think we have to look at it from a different perspective too so it's an image number one so if you have an image especially photograph it's it's it's. it's created it's not natural image so the question is who was the person who was taking the picture and who was the person giving basically direction to the kids to wave that way so that i mean that's i mean for me that's i think one of the most important things to take into consideration because it tends it's seems like in our society we're always tend to blame the kids or the elderly or the sick or the poor
9:21 pm
or so for me i think when you get to the root of the problem in terms of who set this up and what were the directions given to the kids. but apparently it was the parents that he took the photo itself but on a sunday do you agree with the outrage that's being spread around twitter following this picture no i definitely do not and i think especially the idea of bringing up the first amendment rights for something so obviously juvenile because after all we're talking about high school boys probably made as must have been some kind of prom night that there is a teacher there i saw the picture of the kids i was expecting to see neo nazi when i first heard about it the you'll not see. adult. sympathizers in full uniform with flags instead i see a bunch of very innocent looking kids doing something stupid but at the same time
9:22 pm
to bring up first amendment rights for a case so silly. makes me more outraged for what's been the lack of first amendment right given to do it in a stunt who's really stuck in london and in a much bigger situation so to equate the two things. the. two ideas is i think that's the real outrage well if we talk about you know these hit this general that punishable by law in several countries including timoney and the netherlands although not in the u.s. but surely this is something that should worry any high school say what do you think of that offer sure i mean i think i think you also have to look at the current situation the united states so that the latest studies coming from the twenty sixth election especially and i think anthony demise you know hits on it pretty well what he's describing is actually that the majority of people in the
9:23 pm
united states voted for trump not due to an economic stressor but more due to the socio political. atmosphere so basically a lot of fear that our country's becoming more diverse there are countries big calming. more or less white and so i think those are one of the days when it comes to first amendment i mean it is a very tricky thing and as far as i'm concerned wisconsin legislative house just passed a year or year ago they passed a legislature that if you actually do any type of protest or some kind of action against the right or the neo nazis you actually get punished some kind of curious how they're receiving that there's no consequences for doing that kind of behavior but then at the same time they're willing to punish somebody who's willing to stand against. yes because the safest amendment in the u.s. protects the freedom of speech but the school district toes not to punish the
9:24 pm
students do you think the school district was right not to punish the students in this case. oh definitely not i mean well i always here's the thing i think the i think the institution itself should be punished but we also cannot exclude the fact that art institutions especially bubbling schools have been defunct that since the seventy's and so of the level of education that our kids are getting is not appropriate enough to be maybe even to understand assess and to make sense of what these kids are doing. by this sunday do you think the school district was right to use the fest amendment not to punish the students i definitely think it was right not to punish the students i don't even think it should have brought the first amendment into the equation because it diminishes the first amendment which has bigger fish to fry in this case i think to be dismissed as a prank now that said i do agree with that
9:25 pm
education is not what it should be i believe these kids should get much better education or understanding of what that salute means in fact actually the history of the salute is very complex it goes back to roman times and it's actually the first officially known military salute so it has a long history not necessarily tied with heat of the time it became a symbol of hate perhaps in the one nine hundred twenty s. and thirty's and even countries with which suffered fascism like italy which is going through a similar debate these days by the way. in one thousand fifty two fresh from fascism doing this sort of thing was put in context always any defense of fascism was the weighed against efforts to reform the political military movement called fascism but not individual cases such as this so is the real
9:26 pm
issue here then a history lesson. i believe a history lesson is always good. and that is one of the things that you know our technocratic society where everything is focused on technology and. science but and not that i'm against science. but i think we've forgotten the good old fashion history humanities classics these this is the actual thing that might save humanity in the long term even as far as artificial intelligence is concerned which is far beyond the topic today but. history lesson is a good way to summarize the problem and great idea agree on this so disagree mean surrogate take a lot of qualities. say do you agree with that come up are true i do think made about history lessons in schools regarding the meaning behind this of course of
9:27 pm
course the history of history is very important and we kind of live in a very a historical society right now but if we do talk about history i think one thing that worries me a little bit in terms of kids not seeing something wrong with this i think of it was the case with the scout sniper platoon back in two thousand and twelve or eleven when they had the s.s. flags and they were doing all kind of symbolic goal it was. of fascism and so i just living in the not very militaristic society as the united states it's very important to know that the east like these types of behavior that they're not properly educated as i was sandra pointed out through history i think those things will be repeated and it will lead to basically the skills joining the military and behaving in certain matters that are not acceptable to our humanity. but prank or no prank don't you think that this photo sends perhaps
9:28 pm
a bad signal to school kids across the u.s. on what's permissible on alt. you asking me to either want to. step in because i'm very i have a very strong opinion about the fact that this was a prank and i'll go back to my own experiences in high school i sympathized and still do i must admit with the good old fashioned hard left so i often found walking around town whistling or humming the international or wearing clothes similar to give up for example and i have a certain respect even the way understand that even the communism like all ideologies has produced a lot of problems at the center so i can see where some of these. instincts to do
9:29 pm
a prank like this come from now for some reason communism although it killed many people does not have the same image as fascism in fact some say communism killed more but it's more acceptable for me to raise my left arm and hold it in a fist in a salute than it would be say to raise my right arm and hold it in the fist symbolically that this is where history comes in to understand the nuances and the differences of these things and also kids on the other hand always want to do something stupid particularly in the picture i've done silly things in pictures making my face look silly or wearing something dumb that's why i had an immediate instinct to defend these kids even though i would give them a few hours of. history classes to have them learn what that gesture is about say carelessly possibly shaking your head that
9:30 pm
what are your thoughts. well i mean i'm thinking the same thing i mean there's i think it's i think it's both it there's a sense that kids do silly things and i mean a lot of things that kids do we do not see kids joke around kids play around not only other side i also feel that well number one if we look at the baraboo khan city or county in general it's not a four percent white so the kids in that county have a little exposure to other cultures that versity maybe inclusion we don't really know exactly the. social or political. atmosphere environment in that community as well but nonetheless i mean i think that going back to the same thing i disassembled he told them to wave and they obviously did this.
