it's a fast becoming a busy thursday for your worldwide news headlines welcome to the program it's r.t. international. the b.b.c.'s syria producer is challenging the mainstream narrative on an alleged chemical attack in the country he claims that video of the supposedly aftermath of a toxic strike in the syrian city of duma was in fact staged it is a line that russia and damascus have long maintained others though accepted the video at face value touting it as evidence of the syrian government attacking its own people r.t. is my guess the investigations you don't hear it very often not even a doubt not a suspicion but a certainty that the hospital scenes of the alleged chemical attack in duma was staged and this is coming from the b.b.c. syria producer after almost six months of investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital scene was staged no fatalities occurred in the

hospital the incident in question occurred almost a year ago when the syrian military took on the army of islam in the town of duma. the white helmets working with islam missed released videos of an alleged chemical attack hospitals people in panic reaction was immediate and violent trump launched more than one hundred cruise missiles that syria france and britain chipped in the un security council in uproar if you took anything to think for years duma had been held by the army of islam hardcore islam it's the same guys that caged woman and elders and roofs to protect themselves against airstrikes i can tell you that jaish al islam. rules dumont with an iron fist very

co-opted activists doctors and humanitarians with fear and intimidation you may also remember in the lead up to this incident russia warned that this could happen and that rebels might stage a chemical attack to invite foreign intervention the rail and evacuation deal we have undeniable evidence that this was yet another staged attack that involved intelligence agencies of one of the countries that is rushing to spearhead a recent campaign but no one in the west listened or pretended not to hear all the media not the politicians here by the way is how b.b.c. reported on the incident back then disturbing reports of a chemical weapons attack chemical attack carried out by the assad regime the magic's are doing more. but they're overground dozens of people have been killed due to poison gas a chemical attack did happen believes ria but everything else the casualties that

panic the videos those were meant to achieve something what evidence rianne has we don't know aside from a few tweets details the scarce we're waiting for more we've requested comment from riyadh in the b.b.c. and we'll keep you posted but it seems odd for the first full blown his styria over supposed chemical attack casualties in north quiets be how it's claimed all the russian foreign ministry has reacted to the claims made by the b.b.c. producer noting that moscow was among the first to expose the force of occasion. would be you shit crazy and as a result of an unprecedented full see you creation on the territory of this over in state of syria a massive strike was conducted by the western coalition we first uncovered that the video was in fact the cation. teach us and now we see that even those who were

cheering the western coalition strikes cannot tolerate these lies anymore and are speaking out. previously the b.b.c. was one of the most. vociferous critics of the assad government blaming the assad government for all kinds of chemical attacks and other kinds of incidents which were supposedly directed against the syrian people however renowned journalists were on the scene within days came there and reported that nothing happened inside the makeshift underground hospital except a staged incident by the way to helmets so i'm hoping that the next time that there is an incident that takes place staged by the white house i hope that the series the b.b.c. series producer decides to treat that with a big bag of salt. now as the consensus about what exactly happened and do must pass to change high level delegations from iran russia and turkey are gathering

right now in the southern russian city of sorcery to thrash out of peace for syria where if an option is in the black sea resort for us and joins us right now here on the program are your expectations for today. high rory well it is expected to be alone thursday with very important talks first comes the meting of the turkish and iranian president followed by the russian president said i pads with his turkish and iranian counterparts and after that the editor got mr han and mr putin joined by their country's delegations including defense ministers will participate in three party. on syria ahead of this meeting this summit russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that the situation in iran the syrian province of the country's north is expected to dominate their agenda and i have to say that the situation there on the ground is rather dramatic

right now this is a very vast area in syria's north it's often referred to as the last remaining rebel controlled syrian enclave but the problem is that in the last two weeks it has been a great deal of following step by step to the hands of the jihad is from the front this is a band organization in russia it is considered to be a terrorist group according to the russian side this former affiliated group is now in charge of more than ninety percent of the territory and of course russia is not happy with that and it openly voices its concerns and frustration with the situation in there because turkey is the country that is supposed to secure these regional cordon to previous agreements two days before the. russians defense minister met his turkish counterpart and after the meeting he said that the size of action this is quotation needed to stabilize the region but everybody understands

that a large military operation in the area is not a very good solution because it is home to different estimates from two to three million people so it could be very risky so what should be done and what is the solution and this is exactly what the three leaders. mr harding mr putin are expected to discuss today here in sochi back to you. thank you. the senate intelligence committee chairman has reiterated that there was no direct evidence that donald trump was colluding with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential he's been leading a two year investigation into the. well i'm not sure how to cure him and i've said it before we have no factual evidence of collusion between the growth. of the two year program so the media very excited expecting it would find a smoking gun but the walls feel like they're closing in on the trip administration

right now and i'm not sure they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump walls are closing it with trump on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast after two years two hundred witnesses and three hundred thousand documents if we were to report based upon the facts that we have then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion between the trim campaign and russia democrats have now confirmed this to n.b.c. on conditions of anonymity send investigators have access to highly classified intelligence so for example if there was an intercept between some russian intelligence officers suggesting that they were conspiring with the truck campaign they would see that that has not emerged so that evidence does not exist and trump will claim indication so donald trump has spoken up the it twitter the senate

intelligence committee there is no evidence of collusion between the trim campaign and russia well the twitter sphere lit up because for two years n.b.c. has been pushing the trump russian narrative now they're saying the opposite. n.b.c. news and miss n.b.c. have been telling us for two plus years that there is always evidence of collusion to the russians hacked their accounts. breaking news the nurse if we've been spin on endlessly for two years was based on ciro evidence it seems that it wasn't lost on n.b.c. themselves who did everything to walk back their affiliation but on the very same day we heard this on the very same channel senator byrd coming out and saying there was no direct evidence that kind of conspiracy that also really struck me because prosecutors almost never how direct and it was to the intelligence committee came out and said they found no direct evidence of criminal conspiracy but that's not the senate intelligence committee is really that it is the f.b.i.

in a special counsel's team to do the criminal investigation so he doesn't have any evidence but he somehow just knows it's there mr trump. you know whole quash is the claims of a former cia director who previously called doubts on allegations of collusion he is not alone in speaking up and saying that what can't be proven somehow must unquestionably be true. the new u.s. special envoy for venezuela has been accused of lying by the house foreign affairs committee elliott abrams was quizzed about washington's efforts to install opposition why it was venezuela's president in his bid to oust the current president nicolas maduro the session was interrupted several times by antiwar activists and he is going to say then we're right back to gardening that is what. the activists were dragged out and arrested they were trying to draw

attention to abrams alleged human rights violations in latin america this track record also came up and some tough questions from members of congress share what we would do you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in war crimes as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question. do you feel that your past actions in iran contra permanently impair your ability to fairly and transparently deal in the region my question is whether you're aware of any transfers of weapons or defense equipment by the united states government to groups of it as well or i ask this question because you have a record of such actions nine hundred ninety one you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from congress regarding your involvement in the iran. affair i fail to understand why members of this committee or the american

people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful i don't think this entire line of questioning is meant to be real questions and so i will not reply abrams was twice convicted of unlawfully withholding information from congress in one thousand nine hundred one over him covertly selling weapons to iran to fund nicaraguan rebels in the one nine hundred eighty s. his portfolio also includes accusations of covering up massacres and supporting repression campaigns of dictators and what amala el salvador and honduras are all gold one of the protesters out the session explains why she felt the need to act. as he started to speak i just couldn't help myself but to stand up and tell congress to tell the foreign affairs committee don't listen to this war criminal elliott abrams has shown how much he wants to go to war and this is putting

venezuela in a really dangerous situation most likely plunging the country into a bloody civil war and it's not what the people of venezuela want the majority of venezuelans do not want a us military intervention and yet we're in this dangerous situation where it's a real possibility and while the rest in venezuela has been occupying mines in washington for weeks the anti-government protests in haiti which saw six people killed have been largely ignored on wednesday hundreds marched to the national palace in the country's capital calling for the president to step down the demonstration quickly descended into chaos thank you. angry over rising prices economic stagnation and corruption protesters hold rocks at police while riot officers tried to disperse the group of the crowd with tear

gas and we spoke about the demonstrations both in haiti and just across the caribbean in venezuela with willian robinson a professor of latin american studies eighty is facing a crippling socio political and economic crisis it's getting worse insulation is meaning that food increasingly out of the reach of poor people unemployment is high and it is wrong is that the haitian government is a close ally of the united states it's as simple as that united states is going to destabilize and overthrow the venezuelan government for for the last twenty years and at the same time it has been propping up in the least far right wing government incredibly corrupt government which rules over a social order which benefits a tiny minority for the last thirty forty fifty years so that's. nothing new i mean it's not been not any surprise but it does demonstrate the complete hypocrisy and double standard of u.s. foreign policy towards the region and towards these two countries eighty has gone through nearly three decades now of constant foreign u.s.

led intervention the us is already intervening behind the scenes it has never started to phoenix haiti is one of the most intervened country maybe the most intervened in the whole western western hemisphere. if their stories here on r.t. international glad you can join us today it is separate the fourteenth in other words valentine's day and a good enough excuse for us anyway to look at the relationships between the most powerful people in the world reporting from the city of love charlotte. as couples across the globe celebrated day of love we thought we'd take a look at the burning passions between will to lead is what makes for a great relationship well for starters chemistry is very important.

that we have to make a book years for where would we be without something igniting or flames of course sometimes that spark just isn't there and well that can be a bit awkward especially when the cameras are always around. you know every relationship goes through its ups and downs i mean who doesn't have skeletons in their clothes it. really does it really won't to make a go of things and they'll do what any good therapist would suggest they work through it i was really being tough and sure was she i will go back and forth and

then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters well if there's one thing we know about trump a little like building rules but sometimes even if he has a boundary issues the president criticize to rescind a saying that her plan for brakes it was poorly going to be poorly executed which is essentially the worst thing you could say about her on the first broadside against. slammed france's military record to ask for more nato funding president trump the attack the fight beginning at breakfast today at one point today the president asking what good is nato and saying germany is captive to russia well mr make america great again could have some toys to mend or what better way than other tight. so who should be top of trump's valentine card list this year.

a million michael researcher two luke wiser advocated using usually. prime minister trudeau. i think he he should really get along with tourism a series of may she could do with some help with mexican president sonia obrador happy v.-day can't wait for you to pay for it all he says. but most of all the number one lesson is that before you can love someone else you have to lock it in for yourself first.

and we are back in just. no competition the stock price discovery. fake prices in fake prices beget fake news that's what comes out of fake prices fake fake news restore competition in the marketplace to get real prices and then you'll get real.

joining me every thursday. i'm sure i'll see you then. joining us today the french capital has seen a large demonstration against police violence organized by various yellow vest groups and comes as one of their own protesters a former national boxing champion he's jailed for a year for beating an officer at a rally in january a video of christophe throwing punches at the gendarme went viral and even led to a manhunt one witness claims he was acting in response to a police are sold the former boxer has expressed regret over his aggressive

reaction. i saw the repression that was i saw the police. i've seen the police hurt people with flash balls i've seen people hurt acim pensioners get tear gas i've seen a lot of things i was tear gassed on the last day yes i want to dance on the riot police was gassed with my friends and my wife i was gassed and for a moment the anger came up in me yes well i reacted badly that i reacted badly but i was defending myself and that's a. big they used tear gas against us and then started listening with bad moods i found myself on the ground blowing cold out i was then chased by the police who tried to grab me another policeman from the rapid response school didn't turn up and try to grab me he punched me in the face right in the teeth and then he keep me have severe lung disease the slightest blow can cause them to see if that happens i

die the books are saved my life if he hadn't done what he did i would have died on the spot. almost two thousand people have been convicted for offenses committed during the yellow vest protests the country's prime minister says fourteen hundred more are awaiting sentencing but we spoke with. who was hit in the head with a stun grenade in december. although we were on the show it was calm at first and there were very calm yellow vests around us then some hooligan started randomizing a shop on another side of the street trying to set fire to a policeman started to shoot to hell fire fighters to get through and it was the last thing i remember because after that i fell and a grenade hit my head now no you were never. in. my are you still in great pain and they will be removed in the next operation doctor said he can be say it's too painful to touch it i can move it and i can't

read i think our society is very unfair and we can't put up with it it doesn't affect me directly but in five six years i'll be paying taxes i'm also concerned about the lies of pensioners who are forced to work because they can barely make ends meet this is outrageous unfair and i moved to paris because this whole situation it's not ok at least when i call to work every saturday i understand that they're tired ripped through teeth is not an excuse for everything especially full even people without ice hooligans were in the right and i was on the left so explain to me why the policeman fired in my direction is not normal france is one of the oldest democratic countries in the world it is not normal that this is happening here we think this only happens in other countries but it's happening here in france it's unbelievable. poland has signed a massive missile delivery deal with america at the signing mark the start of us vice president mike pence his visit to warsaw is what the polish president had to

say. important for you to beat up there i'm delighted that the u.s. vice president's visit started on such an important and symbolic note with the signing of an agreement on future deliveries to poland at home ability artillery rocket systems these will be key to upgrading poland's defenses. that's a quick look at poland's new kit the system. consists of a light multiple rocket launcher on a wheel designed to knock out all tillery light armor and personnel carriers it can carry up to six rockets maximum rage three hundred kilometers now the full delivery should be completed by twenty twenty three warsaw says this level of expenditure is necessary due to the threat posed by russia and we got reaction from former pentagon security analyst michael maloof. well according to poland it's to grow bolster their their defenses against it against russia in as part of their needed

commitment and this is the fact it's courted by the united states because it fits there to russia being a major threat to europe but russia has not threatened poland. they feel that they're going to be safer as a consequence of these these purchases it also helps the u.s. defense industries because it is a half a billion dollars. and your program returns of a top of the hour. the swarm see the blue of them so much. good news hoover local was before.

actually i mean like a nurse and it's like i need a straight jacket yes you do but you would only escape from it that we you are here on the kaiser report you are an escapee from a straight jacket. i want to talk about this headline about chuck schumer and bernie sanders proposing a basically restricting corporate share buybacks but then we have to follow up headlines basically showing it's not just share buybacks that is causing the wealth and income gap decline in the overall economy the drying up of productivity growth and things like that. but especially the way that chuck schumer and bernie sanders are dealing with this particular issue so chuck schumer and bernie sanders call for restriction corporate share buybacks they remember when you were on wall street was just when shared by.
