the british prime minister visits the city of cells on the first anniversary of the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter moscow alleges one is withholding the full truth of what happened twelve months ago. an offshoot of the al qaeda terror group stages a deadly surprise attack in syria as the u.s. offers a million dollar reward for information on a solid bin laden sun. also in syria heavy fighting resumes as u.s. backed kurdish forces close in on islamic states last stronghold that's despite donald trump having proclaim victory over i saw numerous times in the last few

months plus. i'd like to see as broad a coalition as we can put together to replace the door to replace the whole corrupt regime the u.s. national security adviser considers an international coalition to help get venezuela's opposition leader it doesn't. this is arch international coming to you live straight from the russian capital where it's just turned five pm into the program. british prime minister trees that may visit in the city of solsbury a year after the poisoning a former russian double agents are going to fall and his daughter yulia twelve months on and the finger is still squarely pointed at moscow although it claims the u.k. is failing to provide any answers even to the simplest of questions regarding the king. for more we cannot cross lived. in salisbury for us give us

a sense of what people in the city now feel a year on. well the reason mays commemorated the anniversary of the attack against the script while she's visited souls' berry and earlier she put out a statement saying that she commended the work of all those that took part in the decontamination efforts after everything took place in the investigations and also she praised the resilience of the residents of souls who have had to endure a pretty eventful year i've been talking to some of the people here and many of them say they're still processing what happened take a lesson. to . be sure. you were to get it.

made people see so. i put my bike cram there the evidence of what state mobile supports were made so i just went straight back in for y. so i wouldn't pick anything up any more. or less than i'm sure the contamination is complete that's true i don't think so you're saying. well one year ago you'd be hard pressed to find many people outside the u.k. that knew much about the town of souls very or perhaps the height of the spier of the famous cathedral here but the attack against the script files that took place had put this place on the map in the international scandal that ensued has really ensured that souls barry has stayed rather famous it was here it was actually on a park bench illness green that on the fourth of march last year so gay and his daughter were discovered slumped unconscious they were taken to hospital and pretty soon afterwards it became clear. this wasn't an ordinary medical incident that they

were dealing with the script had been poisoned with military grade nerve agent a substance known as novacek that had been produced in the soviet union and pretty soon after that the prime minister to resign made pinned the finger of blame squarely on moscow and there were diplomatic expulsions and a war of words ensued over what really had taken place here london says the kremlin dispatched a hit squad to come here russian military agents arrived in seoul very they say shortly before the poisoning took place they were armed with a toxic nerve agent and this is something that moscow deny and continues to press for information and access to the investigation saying that actually two russian nationals are involved here and we know nothing about what's happened to them take a listen to the russian foreign ministry spokesperson. if people in the west in the

u.k. and washington and brussels think russia will just let this slide their mistake sergey script files nice victorious. get hold of her relatives and she's been denied any information about how they're doing or their whereabouts take a listen. to the british embassy have been telling me since day one that it cannot help me that i have to call the russian embassy in the u.k. under pressure from the media did agree to let me make a visa application but i was refused her visa twice on formal reasons and they even didn't return my passport to me personally they sent it fire mail i'm prohibited to even stay near the border of britain so diplomatic relations between london and moscow are still pretty much at rock bottom and this candle is the cause of much of the animosity between london and moscow with the decontamination. declared complete

one year on the town of souls barry is at least attempting to turn over a new leaf and next and this to say explains how the year and the scandal that put souls brea on the map unfolded. the script all saga was the story of twenty it had all the workings of a detective bestseller curious enough to grip the media for months on end state sponsored attempted murder poisoned with a nerve agent russian state involvement and probably aided this. makes these ingredients well russian villainy a toxic nerve agent with a decidedly russian name that used to be developed in the soviet era and by a handful of other countries too but you can ignore that for the purposes of a good story and the spy story writes itself right accusations assumptions leaks a hungry search for any juicy details unraveling for viewers to marvel at on t.v.

screens and newspaper front pages the world over here is former double agent sergei screwballs daughter yulia making an appearance shortly after being discharged from hospital i should just post after twenty days in a coma i woke up to the news the we may have been poisoned i still find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that both of us were attacked in such a way the accused made an appearance to investigators said their officers from russia's g.r.u. military foreign intel service whose travels around sold very had been meticulously traced by every news organization known to man but the men themselves claim to be well most professionals who wanted to see a famous spy are. going to proceed but across the world. i mean you're the sub or. somebody if this were but a whole year has gone by and where we. sergei script himself he was discharged from

hospital not too long after his daughter and was understood to be alive and well where is he living now what is he up to and doesn't he have anything at all to say to weigh in on this massive story that he's at the center of to some wanting to know more in the cases tend to mount to information warfare for good journalism or even simple curiosity as many as one hundred thirty eight separate narratives were attributed to outlets like this channel in the aftermath of the poisoning in a new report dubbed weaponized the news sputnik and an array of competing and often contradictory narratives about the event and its off to months from explanatory accounts of events on the fourth of march to speculation on the motivations governing the responses of western governments among them the ukase non-disclosure of information seen as suspicious having accused russia of trying to kill a man on its soil and asking it to prove itself innocent before any proper

investigation had even began could have at least merited some cooperation with moscow russia offered to help over and over again but that fell on deaf ears the u.k. rushing to blame russia without establishing facts here's the british prime minister just a week after the poisoning while the investigation lasted months the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against . the script and motive apart from it had to be russia motives behind the poisoning are yet to be adequately clarified who benefited from script surviving who would have benefited if he had died and why also if it was russia what was the point of it all anyway if you have those questions to best keep them to yourself doubting the official narrative as one of you so don't. reporting from london.

with r t. syrian army forces suffered heavy losses this weekend in the north of the country eighteen soldiers were killed during a surprise attack by. a syrian offshoot of al qaida ambush a number of casualties were confirmed to r.t. arabic by the army and with washington recently putting up a million dollar reward for information on osama bin laden's son it looks like the war on terror has been given fresh impetus as explains. war on terror. begins with. but it does not in there the war on terror is almost a tradition now a part of the american way of life no end in sight either so traumatic it was nine eleven that it set america off on a seemingly endless crusade there's an old poster out west as i recall that said wanted dead or alive and it does seem endless no matter how many battles they win

how many islamist sex they destroy how many bin ladens they kill is always someone else we deliver devastating blows to be al-qaeda leaders that attacked us on nine eleven. deliver justice to osama bin laden we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now it's the sama bin laden's son hamza bin laden and washington is afraid that he's becoming a new terror i called homs and bin ladin is the son of the deceased a.q. leader some of the blood and is emerging as a leader in the a.q. franchise how has been has released audio and video messages on the internet calling on his followers to launch attacks against the united states and its western allies eased thirty also recently praised by the leader of al qaida

blacklisted by the un married allegedly to the daughter of a nine eleven plane hijacker favored by his late father sama as his successor he's calling for attacks on the u.s. to avenge the killing of his father same crazy ideology what's unclear his whereabouts the u.s. seems to believe you could be anywhere in south central asia it all. leads to one conclusion apparently al qaeda is coming back showing signs of confidence in a kurd and the threat from radical islamic terrorism a continuing threat posed by al qaeda there are according to various estimates more than thirty thousand active fighters across a number of countries loyal to al qaida ironically the u.s. stands accused of arming them unintentionally in syria with weapons intended for

moderate groups being seized by islamists in yemen c.n.n. reported with the saudis and their coalition partners handing american made weapons to oil qaeda linked fighters history it seems repeats itself in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the soviet war in afghanistan the u.s. funded and armed the mujahideen including asama bin laden. they called them freedom fighters the mujahideen the islamists when they were fighting the u.s.s.r. but it didn't take long for those freedom fighters to morph into terrorists and the taliban into al qaida and they just won't go away no matter how many times you beat them it seems they just keep rising from the dead. back in the bottle if the u.s. does not want to put it back in the bottle the u.s. funnel funnel. thousands of tons of weapons into syria to our

forces that it knew very well were. allied with al qaida and allied with the muslim brotherhood and so when it suits the u.s. purposes it will work with al-qaeda and other terrorists and when they become a problem after september the eleventh or after they morphed into its. state in syria and iraq then of course it will it will attack them. with more attention being paid to al-qaeda recently opposition forces are besieging the last pocket of i saw a resistance in syria the town of. the u.s. backed forces are unleashing heavy shelling on i saw militants they claim the offensive could be over within five days before the fighting resumed over the weekend civilians as well as the wives and children of the militants were allowed

him at the moment genocide is move out of the. limousine. and initially. i didn't want you to. see the welcome to the you have it doesn't because we're not at all the little dog you got there not us with no not a clue. you know how do you know that a posse doesn't because. on sunday a spokesman for the opposition forces said he expected the battle to be over quote soon donald trump has already proclaimed a victory over the self-styled caliphate on more than one occasion. we have won against isis now we've won some time probably next week we will have. one hundred

percent of the caliphate as usual president trump is playing fast and loose with the truth and he's tends to exaggerate things the problem is gets even if it is defeated as a force controlling actual territory it has its origins as a terrorist group training suicide bombers having small cell actions and we've seen that continuing in iraq for example where there were some horrible bombings of civilians so the danger is that they go back to what they were originally doing and care of these kinds of terrorist attacks which are very difficult to stop. still to come the chief financial officer of chinese smartphone giant weiwei is suing canada i'll tell you why after this short break.

what i see images and hear things what they're doing. i see people who are afraid not see these young women in these ways purposes and i see that. it's good they lose it. all they have the whole or that is the color of their skin that's all they have going for themselves or their white skin. seems wrong. but i. just don't call. me. yet to see palin. become advocates and engage me equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

a plot to control the market. there is a certain amount of merit i mean equally there's merit to america's claims about why stealing you know generic and technology the entire basis of the need to china's industrialization program from its very outset and i was i was actually in the first very tried before and i've been back and i you want to eighty two which is i believe discussed was to get american technology is fos as possible and that been very successful at that and now of course they've gone from being a fully body in the the american. arrival wrestling with the americans so what's what was ignored by americans back then is much more significant now but fundamentally yes the americans could also be saying this is a way of breaking you osmotic control and getting there is in place if you are. that as well a self-proclaimed interim president one why go has pledged to return to the country on monday he left venezuela in late february in defiance of a travel ban imposed by the country's supreme court since then he's been touring
