you see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the two will melt to a point where they're almost indistinguishable you can't really distinguish them at all. survivor charlie rowley says he's been kept in the dark on the british investigation into the poisoning that killed is. he met with russia's ambassador to the u.k. . charlie and his brother to contact us is precisely the fact that they haven't been able to receive anything from the british authorities ukraine ready for a second round of presidential elections after a comedian with no political experience wins the first round getting almost twice as many votes as a rival the current you greatly. struggles with an influx of illegal migrants people smuggler reveals cashing in on the price. people have to have to spin the following day out to spare thousand. four thousand four thousand

people to cover for you and also this morning hungry says it's captured the islamic state commander posing as a refugee the man had been issued with a prepaid debit card and relieved scheme to help. good morning life. here in moscow this is our news review of the week with me kevin now in this sunday morning study with more details on a story that some back in the headlines nearly one year on a man who survives the novacek nerve gas attack in the u.k. says he's being kept in the dark only countries ongoing investigation into it charlie rowley put all these unanswered question to the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander. mr rowley and his partner. in the city of ames spree in june last year

initially police suspect the drug overdose but then claimed the couple had been poisoned by novacek just passed away a week later charlie rowley met with mr coe in the russian embassy in london. the report. feeling so many of his questions were left unanswered by the u.k. government charlie really has that with them reached out to the russian ambassador to london well now he's lost his partner to suffering from the terrier writing health and he's also been confused by u.k. media speculation regarding the poisoning of his partner and say in your script last year by what was said to be the never agent know we talk meanwhile though the russian ambassador has been trying to fill in some blanks. for us and literally eighty percent of what i told him was quite a revelation to charlie and his brother is perfectly understandable in their ordinary people reading british newspapers what could they know and what they were offered by the press so it's good to have an alternative point of view and

understand rush's line of reasoning charlie rowley and his brother had virtually no info on the questions we directed at the british authorities over the script case 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 pals 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 dawn sturgis and that of charlie rowley have not been adequately informed as to what happened to the penn amesbury and what happened in solsbury before they never received any official reports for many months now mr rowley and daunce family received very little information about the course of the investigation so little that don't son center letter to the russian president. the family of the late don't sturgis ones first and foremost to see the investigation's conclusions 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. another point mr very raised is that he felt his reputation was affected by u.k. press describing him as homeless when he was simply a british citizen charlie and his brother a very nice people the 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 woody and says the russian ambassador on the other hand says there's so much left unanswered it. we have plenty of questions regarding the cremation of miss sturgis because it destroyed all proof make 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 needs rechecking including how these people were treated most k. was accused of and house repeatedly denied any involvement in the events last year

and offered to cooperate with british authorities many times something that london has rejected now the u.k. government is still made little to no evidence public meanwhile though charlie riley says he just wants a name with details was released case came just a few months off the poisoning of the russian double agent so his grip over his daughter in the city has sold very close by in march twenty eighth both survived though mr scruby has not been seen since the u.k. has consistently blamed moscow for both incidents though no evidence has been produced russia denies any involvement and says the u.k. failed to cooperate in any joint investigations political analyst alessandro bruno says media's failing to ask the tough questions surrounding this case. british media is sort of mild for the most part completely. going along with the official narrative after all probably it's just another victim in the of this

information that this case involves the british prime minister within less than twenty four hours from the poisoning which was unclear they had all the answers who did it what did it and there were the we don't know what the police investigation is this is this requires a real police investigation the biggest role in the whole affair to me that's caused by the belling cat website that claims to use open source whatever that is information techniques to find out what's going on from ukraine to illustrate parts will talk to the media spin on this is something else tell you to this weekend the u.k. newspaper the mirror published an article following mr rowley's meeting with the russian ambassador it alleges that the child victim confronted the envoy with a question did you kill my girlfriend and received only quote russian propaganda in response however the ambassador says that mr rowley came in only in search of missing information and here russia's line of reasoning t.v.

host simply to commentator steve malzberg says the headline raises some questions. the thing here is we have to rely on the newspaper and their account there was a video posted along with the story in the story of the daily mirror and so we could see part of the post meeting interview or press conference i was in many members of the press there so we have to take what they say as as the story because nobody else even sky news and others who have written about this quote that from that story it's not like they all had reporters there so the video we see first the ambassador then we see. charlie rally and his brother and it's limited it's only about two and a half to three minutes and it does not have what the headline says he said it does not have what the some of the things that the story says he said does that mean

that they're making it up does that mean they just didn't post all of the video why they wouldn't post the meat you know that the meat and potatoes part the the story line i don't know but i would have to feel that if they're severely misrepresenting what what he said to the ambassador that we will hear from him saying wait a minute i never said that so i guess time will tell. a powerful explosions hit the pub and block his central power is causing a large fire no serious injuries reported the blaze in the control two we think at least twenty seven flats were destroyed have a spokesman for the fire brigade says the bluster may have been caused by gas contained the stolen balcony off the front started another explosion was caught on camera.

looking. probable source explosion now. from a ship in the spokesperson. it's possible it was a portable gas tank used to the balcony and exploded this is impossible. thankfully. we can remember the previous gas explosion. in paris in general. was actually people. doing intervention and also dozens. being injured so now right now we can see what

the situation needs. for a second decisive round of presidential elections which will take place on april twenty first the first round so a comedian and political newcomer selenski lead the polls with the current you. are in second place on friday both candidates took part in alcohol and drug tests as part of preparations ahead of a debate they invited journalists photographers to the labs to witness the process . they. gave him all kind of help and thought he'd take the axe soviet republic somewhere new the result roughly eighty five percent of ukraine voters want to show petro poroshenko the door the western. establishment is baffled for them choosing between someone as hated today as the chocolate king pershing co and funny guy selenski aka is a president is

a tough one backing the winner of round one who has no political background at all is like opening pandora's box well look at who he's been destroying with jokes for years the names are all they're way behind him now how's that for a political background. we didn't know. bring back crimea. ok this is. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a schoolteacher on a fast track to be president turns the whole system upside down. just like maybe he never even thought of it and maybe his sensation came about because someone once randomly told the man why don't you give it

a try in real life anyway world leaders should probably start watching out for comedy shows or at least avoid petro poroshenko mistakes like making a ton of promises you can't keep petro poroshenko came to power after the mud on revolution he was loved in america and europe ukraine was then desperate for a strong new leader what did the people hope to get from mr poroshenko a country with no corruption less poverty a proper alliance with nato and the you and to the civil war in ukraine's east at hold men abroad he lost a lot of support by failing at all that with probably one exception ukrainians can stay in the you for ninety days without a visa the president did his best to cut off all possible ties with russia and that was the essence of his campaign it was russian has been waging a hybrid war against

a country for five years and crane is under the threats of fools going to war with russia the tactic did really work in the country where millions still speak russian and have relatives there it looks like it probably won't help mr poroshenko in the run off either almost fifteen percent is just too big of a margin even in round one all the hugs and kisses from nato's most powerful people have a sell by date. well meantime this is ukrainian presidential election seems to have gained less attention in the west that it did back in twenty fourteen countries also received less financial assistance from the u.s. than in previous is political analyst martin summers says significant open amounts of money that they've committed to the election suggests that they're losing face in the publics in ukraine. is clearly a busted flush and they don't particularly want to waste anymore time and energy trying to keep him in power no doubt they will be beating

a path to zilinskas door at this minute hoping that if he does win that they will be able to influence in the directions they would like to see but they clearly clearly if they don't see him as one of the candidates think that's hopeful for ukraine and hopeful for the general situation because we do need their independent people they've got a bit an independent that achieved and maybe he's going to come up with some more sensible policies than we've seen in the last few years we'll have to say it's not clear. last year spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by sea with many of them help to cross but people smugglers one human trafficking from morocco spoke to investigative journalist lauren southern he described how this lucrative trade works. how do people get the space very people have to have to spend a lot of more new day how to spend two thousand you know four thousand for four thousand euro or two thousand for

a few how much money can you make. from the door to spain where you know. every person you can have two thousand two thousand factory to four thousand you the totality fifty person know how to calculate fifty person you do fifty person everybody and by two thousand five hundred you know two thousand five hundred and then linda but into your head to have a lot of money well and we also spoke direct with lawrence of the new film an interview with a moroccan smuggler told us more about the scheme. now the moroccan man we assume at the moment is someone that would have connections within the moroccan government or be able to ensure that the coast guard would leave because we were told multiple times by people on the ground that there is a cut that people on the coast moroccan coast guard receive to stop patrolling certain areas so that boats can leave from spain so this is a quite. intelligent business this isn't just

a few people fleeing their country desperately getting on dinghies trying to get to spain this is a very structured business and at times he's saying it's around five hundred to a thousand people imagine how much money you're making it's one hundred thirty thousand euros per boat i mean you could ten boats in a day you're making one point three million dollars why is no one talking about this massive criminal syndicate it's crazy to me to to think that anyone has been portraying this as well certainly on the moroccan or turkish side of libyan side as a humanitarian aid crisis this is almost entirely a business and anyone you speak to on the ground migrant trafficker or otherwise will tell you this is a business they are not looking to help people they don't care if you're persecuted they don't care about your race religion your gender in fact women are turned away often in some of these camps spain is one of the main gateways to europe from

africa since the start of this year more than five thousand migrants were arrived in this plane by sea into the eighteen to sixty thousand made the crossing laura so that again believes the authorities don't know how to deal with a crisis full stop. there's not much the authorities can do i don't doubt that some want to do something about this however most of these migrants and this causes chaos for both the spanish and for the migrants themselves on the advice of traffickers are told to throw their passports into the sea or destroy them before entering spain and we actually saw it with our own eyes passports that had been ripped up on the ground in these camps in morocco and the reason they do this is so that once they set foot in spain they have no way of being deported but what this also achieves is that there is no way of processing these migrants they can't be imagine how long it takes to process a person that has offered all of their history their passport their work their

banking records it still takes five six seven years to get citizen citizenship in a country a person rocking up with not even a passport how are they supposed to get processed how are they supposed to get a job or become a citizen or even be seen as a refugee so the police can't deal with this influx of people because they can't even identify who they are and the migrants cannot become a part of the european system because on the advice of these traffickers they threw out their passports assuming they would be entering a europe that is far more they imagine is far more wealthy and far more like paradise than it actually is the reality is these people end up on the streets in france they end up on the streets in italy in spain unable to get a job unable to join the actual society because they can't be processed as citizens so the police can do what they want but there's not much they can achieve when

these people cannot be identified to the floor and so them that are on the plight of the people being trafficked in europe had this and they want to hear on this channel as we cover the stories we've brought in from we just go hungary says a suspected. that was living in the country of generously. when we come. breaks and. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. the president. wanted. to go right to the press before. can't be

good. interested. in the world of political much making the european union has long before wealth as its most desirable attribute. for the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry. to potential. good morning it's. government says it detained of islamic state command who entered europe as a refugee suspected of carrying out terror attacks in syria despite the syrian national was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u.

as part of help for refugees peter all of the reports. imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist acing eisel commander and not just any money a new tax payer money and it gets worse reports say that he received a monthly payment of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage in hungary these prepaid cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected terrorist hiding among refugees that inadvertently been given taxpayer money.

the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed out to anyone that they know exactly who these cards are being distributed to and check up on their status on a monthly basis so hungry is wondering why did brussels not know that they were funding a suspected terrorist this not only creates another poll it also raises serious security concerns the citizens of europe have a right to know the problem of how to provide much needed funding and aid to refugees in europe isn't an easy one to solve but it's cases like these that fuel the popularity of anti immigration parties across the continent and with

a new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment. artie's dealt another blow ups of the territory that so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through and that's why a very carefully orchestrated and internationally coordinated this is where international cooperation is key i think the threat for a period of time will grow because foreign fighters will start to come back but i think what we're seeing no with. isis and with al qaeda is we're seeing a time of transition they will transition into something different this is a very very dangerous and very difficult period we need to monitor the transition very closely to be able to identify and track. the sort of coming through and to run intelligence operations or trying to identify those unknown terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. president emanuel

mccrone insists that protecting the environment is a top priority for france but picture perfect resort studded coastline seems pollution is a critical problem even putting lives at risk with that story of the week our europe correspondent china dubin skiing. but this is for so many on the one hand it looks like an idyllic seaside town in the south of france but you don't have to look very far to see the whole area is overshadowed by one of europe's largest industrial and port zones for years the oil refineries chemical factories and still companies have spewed out a noxious cocktail a few residents say that plague the health problem or. the main problem comes from the industrial port area which emits ultra fine particles will get into our lungs and bloodstream and cause diseases the cancer rates here is ten percent higher than the average in france and aspirin diabetes levels also

elevated this could all be avoided if the waste from the factories was processed properly daniels' not mean himself he's been diagnosed with diabetes and heart problems linked to the pollution. probably shouldn't complain about having diabetes when some people here have several different types of cancer is an enormous problem just fifty kilometers from here none of this is happening so we can clearly see that it's a local problem with a local saw shop there is a stark difference in pollution between our village and the ones further away french government reports have a good knowledge that residents here are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases like cancer while women who participated in a study were almost three times more likely to have or have had cancer compared to the national average the e.u. claims its citizens benefit from some of the highest environmental standards in the world and has pledged to continue cleaning up the continent but despite taking countries like france to court over egg quality standards many people here believe

that the actions just don't go far enough. they're too weak they say that they need to protect industries and of course we need industry but they need to stop cutting corners and do more to reduce pollution. the european commission even admits that twenty three of its twenty eight member states exceed air quality norms and knows that poor air quality accounts the permit your deaths of four hundred thousand people every year with less than two months before e.u. citizens head to the polls environmental issues and concerns like those in fox so now are climbing the agenda meanwhile president matt corn has long been an advocate of ramping up the battle to combat climate change we are killing our planet's let us face it there is no planet b. and if we do nothing our children will know a world of migrations of walls of shortage. done for this world. it is

not a few queue we want for ourselves ma generation will do the best in order for your generation to us the choice to choose but it will be the duty off your generation to do the job environmental campaigners have accused him of all talk and little action people in for so many seem to feel the same way you are now it's on the promises he hasn't done anything yet. if nothing is done and in future years the situation will become very serious. and i think he wants to tackle lots of problems but when it comes to implementing them i'm not sure he's succeeding at the moment he has other things on his plate and this issue is not one of his priorities. i think there's still plenty of work to be done you know about the yellow vest movement and one of their conditions is improving the environment people here say

that without immediate action the future remains for their children a bleak prospect so what do you want ski r.t. for. and that's recap for the stories of the last seven days as reported by. here in moscow if you want more you want to keep up to date with all the breakers stories as they have download are up and keep across our sites our t. dot com flow for me this sunday morning kevin over here moscow thanks for watching the program and have a great. well

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

a point the mother. put his hand on that instinct to put his head out so we can get the bottle to get him to. lose the world. was being with us all two weeks to the day actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued with ok and so we've crossed the ten day mark i mean he arrives you have very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was going to be touch and go. and live. deprived of their mothers baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't fair has. founded a center for orphan dynamos to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild.
