xing into life to be smeared. all over the. leg. because of the old style if you really need to. know the chalk survivor charlie raleigh says he is being kept in the dark on the british investigation into the poisoning that killed his partner last year he met with russia's ambassador to the u.k. . you people will charlie and his brother contact us is precisely the fact that they haven't been able to receive anything from the british authorities or the massive fire sweeps through an apartment block in central paris after an explosion

believed to have been caused by gas stored on a balcony rescuers say there are no serious injuries. wiki leaks obtained from what it says is a prestigious strategy agreed to by ecuador and the u.k. to be used in the event wiki leaks founder julian assange is extradited to the u.s. . the whistleblower is about to be expelled from his embassy refuge in london. and more than forty yellow vest activists are arrested in france during a twenty first consecutive weekend of civil unrest. are broadcasting live direct this is our two international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us right now a man who survived a nerve gas attack in the u.k. says he. is being kept in the dark on the country's ongoing investigation charlie

rally whose partner died in the incident last summer spoke to the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander. and he said he reports. feeling so many of his questions well that's set by the u.k. government charlie really has reached out to mess with the russian ambassador to the u.k. he's lost his partner and is suffering from the terry orating health and he's also been confused by u.k. media speculation regarding the poisoning of his partner and say gay in nearly a script lost it by what was said to be the nerve agent to be charged meanwhile though the russian ambassador has been trying to fill in some blanks. literally eighty percent of what i told him was quite a revelation to charlie and his brother is perfectly understandable they're ordinary people reading british newspapers because they know only what they're offered by the press so it's good to have an alternative point of view and understand rush's line of reasoning. and his brother had virtually no info on the

questions we directed at the british authorities over the script ok so they don't understand why we're not allowed to make this group files i told them that there was no mobile service connection with this group three hours prior to the poisoning we had no chance to examine this nerve agent it was all news to charlie and his brother most of the information they had they had read in the newspapers and i got the impression that both the family of dorm sturgis and charlie rowley have not been adequately informed as to what happened to the pain amesbury and what happened in seoul's ri before they never received any official report. for many months now mr rowley and dawn's family received very little information about the course of the investigation so little that don't some sent a letter to the russian president saying that he felt let down by the u.k. government. the family of the late don't sturgis ones first and foremost to see the investigation. conclusion russia wants the same thing it's been

a year now and we still haven't seen any official results what led charlie and his brother to contact us is precisely the fact that they haven't been able to receive anything from the british authorities. and the points missed a very racist is that he felt his reputation was affected by the u.k. press and describing him as homeless when he was simply a british citizen charley and his brother very nice people first thing they told me was that the british press misrepresented them as this is not the case charlie wants me to get this message across to russian what he insists the russian ambassador meanwhile says there's so much left to announce it but we have plenty of questions regarding the core mission of misjudges because it destroyed all proof thank you it impossible to examine the results of those investigations that have been carried out by the british authorities everything the u.k. authorities have done the needs rechecking including how these people were treated

now moscow was accused of and house repeatedly denied all involvements today with the last year they've offered to cooperate with british authorities many times but that's something that's constantly tonights by london and the u.k. government is still made little to no evidence public charlie rose lee on the other hand says that he just wants to die. a quick recap of the two nova chuck cases in the u.k. charlie rowley and his partner dawn sturges fell sick in ames berea in late june last year initially police suspected a drug overdose just passed away a week later and in march two thousand and eighteen this group balls were poisoned in the city of solsbury in that case both survived the u.k. blamed russia for the two attacks although no evidence was produced russia denies any involvement analyst mark macaulay believes that rally will not get any help from the british government so you could go to it would say they did not go. there . say we are not going to know that we believe that the poison came from. russia

and therefore it's very regrettable and from a british want to do british government point of view we were not the instigators wealthy's illness and well unfortunately he's down in a poor state of health. and he has every reason to complain but i can share how it can really go any forward any way forward now because the british authorities are saying we will not respond as well while the poisoning and the government are sticking to that reading nothing else i'm not surprised that charlie really was mocked given any further information because of the population in general i don't mean given any boy submission and the british authorities to this day have said nothing new and also no what is allowed to contact the script files we presume they stay they are still alive but that's all we know but we have

new details because the public would like to know how it was possible that the script could be in fact poisoned. it powerful explosion has had an apartment block in central paris causing a large fire authorities say there are no serious injuries but at least twenty seven apartments have been destroyed in the blaze is now under control a spokesman for the fire brigade who says that the blast may have been caused by gas containers stored on a balcony after the fire started a follow up explosion was caught on camera. was. at his alexander's join us off near the scene of the fire with the latest. well. the signs are. now.

police. in the area. of the building. looking for. the commission and. source of the explosion now information from the spokesperson. it's possible it was that or portable yes. the balcony had exploded. but. thankfully there's no need to keep going you can remember the previous gas explosion. in paris back in january. actually. doing to thank an old. city in egypt. so now right now we can see

the situation seriously but it's waiting wider and much that was back in january. says it has obtained a press strategy agreed upon by agra door and the u.k. in the event wiki leaks founder julian assange is extradited to the u.s. the whistleblower was granted asylum in ecuador us embassy in london in two thousand and twelve rumors are circulating that he is about to be expelled and potentially headed by britain to america according to wiki leaks ecuador will claim a songe broke the terms of his asylum with the u.k. giving assurances it will not let the u.s. sentence him to death u.s. officials have repeatedly called for us to be prosecuted for publishing classified material including intelligence and military files but supporters say he is doing crucial work and must be protected. but it was the feel of it it's not possible to mistreat someone this way just because he revealed but they're big and powerful

people and the as a publisher he has revealed all kinds of human rights violations war crimes are misinformation needs to get out united states says that they're defending democracy around the world and they're not just bending democracy in. the united states is is. trying to silence people for the good of our revealing what's happening and julian the signage is just that the person who made it possible for those people to be heard much has changed america or since assad was granted asylum almost seven years ago including relations with washington but he's really trying to take up the story for us. thank you for your gracious welcome that you have shown to be my wife sharon on our very first visit to ecuador we are running. the place. and i just. know what a beautiful video what

a beautiful welcome maybe that's the reason the u.s. vice president was pacified enough not to call out names when he brought up the dark times in the u.s. equity or friendship while visiting president logan moran oh in quito price your election our nations did experience ten difficult years where our people always felt close but our governments drifted apart though that was clearly a jab at someone who proudly stood up against america's whip cracking hand while in charge of the small south american nation just think of how rafa korea sheltered julian assange what a slap in washington's face that was imo though with given diplomatic asylum to do in the sun shop to exhausting all means who want to guarantee that he's not extradited to third countries which could put his life in danger who was. of misters sons is a drill is a life sentence which is being done under lenin maranoa who was are radically

praised by outgo and leader chorale at the election the tide has clearly changed mr correia even ended up calling his successor a traitor absolute. to the united states is doing. what it is let's look at what he could have meant by that. the first signal could soon be shown the door at the embassy in london was when the american media reported president moran oh had once met donald trump's former campaign boss paul man afford it was claimed mr moran no was trying to negotiate concessions from the u.s. like debt relief and exchange for kicking the whistleblower out back then would lead to nothing but today it's clear he's not a fan of assad yet us bases to get out too many times mr sanchez violates the cream and we keep leaks and gauges and spin arjan how cute. as

a real us imperialism hating tough guy rafa chorale was known as a staunch ally of men as well as nicolas maduro while for ecuador's current president someone else quite well known as the true leader in caracas. i have spoken with president hu. i've invited him to ecuador to receive the affection and support of a people he loved more crecy. mr chorale was on a mission to rid his country of uncle sam's folks step by step he first refused to extend the lease of an ecuadorian air base to the americans beyond two thousand and nine and then told all u.s. military attaches to leave the country and two thousand and fourteen only a few years later sam is coming back the governments of ecuador and the united states decided to resume bilateral military cooperation training and assistance to contribute to ecuador's ability to combat shared threats. wonder corrals

moves were annoying those in charge in d.c. to say the least so starting from two thousand and fourteen millions of us aid cash stopped flowing ketones way under mr moran help the box of freedom are slowly starting to find their way back today i'm pleased to announce that the united states who support that effort to root out corruption when they really want to have million dollars to support your efforts. to end corruption and strengthen civil society in ecuador. it seems it didn't take long since the right man came in human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes songe is being used as a bargaining chip in relations between ecuador and the us. i would suggest it's highly likely that the u.s. government has been putting pressure on the government of ecuador and we know the president. in ecuador himself is under huge pressure his popularity is to about

seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to hand over to the u.s. and exchange for debt relief so i think there is something much deeper going on here and it would be a great great shame if it would all be proud to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of the country a political refugee being granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face to coney charges cooked up by a secret grand jury the content of which is not known to anyone that would be a very very grave step to take. more than twenty thousand yellow vest activists have been a rallying in cities across france for a twenty first consecutive week and riot police were out in force using crowd control weapons in paris at least forty three people were arrested ahead of this

country's constitutional council of government plans to ban certain individuals from protesting saying that the measure would grant police excessive powers but other parts of a crackdown on the rioters were approved as the penske explained. a big slap in the face for the french government as the country's constitutional council has ruled that named yellow vests protest is can't be banned from taking part in the continued demonstrations the cancelled the loss would only set plans to give the power to authority would give officials excessive lots of the provisions leave therefore it is too much leeway in assessing of the reasons did me justify the ban so called anti break his law was passed from. it's part of measures to try and control the weekend protests that have rocked the country protests that often disintegrate into writing and see as clashes with the police so much so that some

cities have banned them because. because because. because. half occur. the streets destroyed buildings set alight cause a move to cycles torched the damage has cost of two hundred million euros so the french economy with business is tearing their hair out even french banks waded into the debate calling and. for more than four months hundreds of local branches through essential links and local life has been targeted vandalized pillaged and bank offices physically threatened it is time for everyone to condemn acts committed against the bank we must quickly put a stop to this unbridled and unjustified violence and it's not just the destruction

of towns and cities that has made the headlines since november seventeenth thousands of people have been injured some suffering life changing injuries. if. you. want to. take. that up. happening in iraq. but while some protesters may see this decision by the constitutional council as a win it's not all music to their is the council of the held. other controversial elements of the breakers law meaning that more severe penalties for organizers of new thoughts demonstrations and for those who cover their faces during violent

protests well police now have the right to search individuals and vehicles in the demonstrations in a bid to prevent objects being brought in that could be used as weapons. r.t. . b.o.'s movement began last november driven by rising fuel prices and a decline in living standards philosopher believes the aims of the protesters are too vague to succeed. lynch mobs fall into these oh. oh. yes yes. i'm going to be free flowing teamed with you we. need to know who you. are we should never forget that. opened up. all of the people received and still perceive the failure of

the day. but as well as opposition leader is a value the new tactical actions in his latest bid to oust president nicolas maduro . first move calling for more nationwide protests on saturday it's something that we've seen before however is not gone into much more detail about what is new actions will involve is local journalist noise i've got from the capital caracas. we are here again where one of the most implemented took up positions sounds of protest today protesters are fighting against the blackouts that has been. i can venezuelans since march the seventh this was a called me by one way to earlier. this week he called toobin as always to protest every time a basic service fails in the country also earlier this week he created and two years or surpassing committees he plans to tour the country and plans to gain more

support from the. cos also us made a new set of sanctions against us one of our around one hundred and fifty one. officials are sanction let's hear what mike pence has to say about the venezuelan situation at this moment the united states of america sanction venezuela state own oil company paid a vase and today. we're taking action against a vital source for the madeira regimes wealth it is important to remark that also a call for marches to support his government today also nicholas mature a said that this is another intervention and from the u.s. and another mendelian in the business is a bonus well up the government of the bolivarian republic categorically rejects the latest us attack on the venezuelan oil industry and its economic sovereignty

venezuela believes it's unacceptable cynical and criminal of donald trump's administration to take measures that violate international law as well as economic and commercial principles. journalist paul dobson says the latest sanctions won't actually make much difference. the latest round of sanctions sure what it will not have a great impact here in venezuela venezuela currently exports somewhere between twenty thousand to fifty thousand barrels of oil a day to cuba a much more pressing measure from the white house would have been to go by the same measure to for example when it's well an oil exports to china which are increasing every day and have a serious impact on venezuela books more across the political divide here in venezuela that military action is merely rhetoric and not seriously being considered by the white house however when you look at the history of the u.s. pressure in latin america and other areas of the world we can see that military

action very overt but definitely prominent so would i think have to be taken in a very real threat by all of those who are looking at the venezuela situation. israelis are gearing up to elect their next prime minister and as polling day looms one predominantly arab party is begging people not to vote for those who have blood on their hands something some contenders have been boasting about in their campaign videos. luckily he was like oh that's mary. government that are sort of. i'm not but in this i will again i will pay him for god now. they slowly say this is this is not one of the it's not people like this it was loose in the rules. yet you know

that. all right one of the runners in the race to be pm is former chief of the israeli defense forces benny gantz he released a series of short videos under the slogan only the strong when in them he boasts about killing more than thirteen hundred terrorists including a hamas military chief and talks of how he returned parts of gaza to the stone ages in the two thousand and fourteen bombing campaign this comes at a time of heightened tension between israel and palestine last week a gaza marks the first anniversary of the so-called march of return protest movement since the demonstrations began in march two thousand and eighteen one hundred ninety five people have been killed and almost twenty one thousand injured in israel maintains that casualties arise because of the actions of hamas or in self defense. and. the rest of.

the. governor and. professor of political science at birzeit university in the west bank. says the shift to the right in israeli politics is being facilitated by geo political factors the whole israeli public more towards that i. think the other reason which is equally important we are talking about around seven hundred thousand two hundred thousand settlers and that was by those that have a huge influence on this very parties and all the israelis to say so the tendency towards that i didn't see for more violence against the palestinians is quite natural i think know what days we got this with elections or not. actions but with

elections it would appear more to gain the support of the right wing and sometimes votes so they have to show that they are tough on even the government this is part of sometimes the hypocrisy of the international community is quite clear that when we are talking specially about europe they said that quite clearly a lot of interest as europeans with the americas is far more important to us than the human rights embody stein so it's quite a quite you know a huge message to the meet with the israeli public that you can do whatever you like with the best and it kind of violate however you want and no one is going to hold you accountable for that. and more news in about three minutes stay with us.

breaks it down. in the world of political much making the european union has long put values before wealth as its most desirable and tribute. to the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry values that's attractive to potential partners. out there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a little kid my dad he was like a bust at the so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers and african-american community service and slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids and you

well. you. know. when we have a new baby we will often hang a hang a blanket and the baby will go into there thinking it's the shape of the mother and put his head up to suckle and i think it's it's the texture on the face and the fact that his like it's soft and we're trying to replicate it.
