through they are strewn with broken you. four dollars when you form four thousand you or the government for a few. hungary's that is constantly islamic state commander posing as a refugee a man had been issued with a prepaid debit card under an e.u. scheme to help newcomers. very well welcome it is r.t. international with your sunday roundup of the latest headlines and a recap of the stories that shape the week but first a victim of last year's not a chunk poisonings in the u.k. has been to meet with the russian ambassador in an attempt to find out more about the nerve agent attack charlie rowley put all of his on answered questions to alexander. mr rowley and his partner dawn sturges fell ill in the town of amesbury

in june last year initially police suspected a drug overdose but then concluded the couple had been poisoned after coming into contact with a toxic substance so just died a week later in hospital one of only met with mr youk of yankel in the russian embassy in london artie's initial sethi reports. feeling so many of his questions were left unanswered by the u.k. government charlie riley has met with and reached out to the russian ambassador to london and now he's lost his partner to suffering from the terry 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 name of agent no we talk 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 what could they know and what they're

offered by the press so it's good to have an alternative point of view and understand russia'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 tells 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 pen 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 some center letter to the russian president. the family of the late dawn sturgis once first and

foremost to see the investigations 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 rowley raised is that he felt his reputation was affected by u.k. press describing him as homeless when he was simply a british citizen jolly 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 but i wished we have plenty of questions regarding the cremation of mr jeffs because it destroyed all proof make it impossible to examine the results of those investigations that have been carried out by the british authorities reading the u.k.

authorities have done needs rechecking including how these people were treated moscow 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 rarely says he just wants to know more details. mr rowley's case came up just a few months after the poisoning of russian double agents like a script powell and his daughter were in the city of soulsby in march twenty eighth seen both survived though mr scobell has not been seen in public since the u.k. is blamed moscow for both incidents russia however claims no evidence has been produced and has flatly denied any involvement political analysts alessandro bruno believes the media have failed in their reporting on the case the british media is sort of my own for the most part completely going along with the official narrative

after all crawly is just another victim in the disinformation that this case involves the british prime minister within less than twenty four hours from the poisoning which was clear they had all the answers who did what. they're worth. 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 building cat website that claims to use open source whatever that is information techniques to find out what's going on from ukraine to this creep. ukase mirror newspaper published an article on sunday about the meeting with the russian ambassador the paper's they've missed a rally and asked the ambassador why did your country kill my girlfriend and received only russian propaganda in response moscow's envoy says however there tape mr rowley found some common ground on that they're not

a child victim wanted to hear russians russia's position on that in the case t.v. host and political commentators even multiple believes the article 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 so in 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 why they wouldn't post the meat you know that the meat and potatoes part the the story line i don't know 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 but i would have to feel that if they're severely

misrepresenting what what he said to the of bassett or that we will hear from him saying wait a minute i never said that so i guess time will tell. you crane is preparing for a second round runoff in his presidential elections and some for the first round so comedian and political newcomer floating in selenski search ahead in the polls and the current ukrainian media petro poroshenko left trailing in second place and had dealt a second vote pushing has been calling on his rival to hold a public debate selenski and they didn't one condition though a drug test both candidates invited journalists and photographers to the pre-debate blood given to trying to force. they counted on him gave him all kind of help and thought he'd take the x. 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 all of them are zelinsky 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 did you know. we will bring back crimea. ok. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a school teacher 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 as 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 holdman 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 russia has been waging a hybrid war against a country for five years and train is under the threat of food with russia the tactic didn't 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 if he has presidential elections in ukraine seems to have gained less attention in the west than in twenty four scene the country has also received less financial assistance from the u.s. than previously is political analyst most infamous sais that significant. the open amount of money that they've committed to the election suggests that they're losing

face in the public's 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 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 seem as one of the candidates and i think that's hopeful for ukraine and hopeful for the general situation because we do need independent people that gobby an independent data today and maybe he's going to come up with a more sensible policies than we've seen in the last few years we'll have to say it's not clear. wealthier spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by i think with many of them reportedly helped across by people smugglers and human traffickers from morocco spoke to investigative journalist not lauren something he described how the lucrative trade

works how do you get to spain very people have to get have to spend a lot of money how to spend two thousand you. four thousand for four thousand euro 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 or four thousand. you have the totality fifty person you have to go to fifty person to fifty person everybody by two thousand five hundred or two thousand five. hundred. and earlier we also spoke with lauren southern who films that interview with the moroccan smuggler she 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 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 have a arrive there by sea and twenty eighteen about sixty thousand made the cross a lawyer in southern believes the authorities don't know how to deal with the crisis. 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 of 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. control the thing as hungary says a suspected i still find you had captive was living in the country off generous that was that the play. breaks it down. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and

spearing dramatic developments only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. as we continue to grow online with our online identities and personas you will continue to see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the two will build to a point where they're almost indistinguishable if you can't really distinguish what all. right. welcome back to hungary and government says has detained an islamic state commander

who entered the euro posing as a refugee and is suspected of carrying out terror attacks in syria it was also discovered the syrian national was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. was part of a migrant assistance program pays 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 parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment. he's dealt another blow because of the territory that so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through and that's why 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 now 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 to run

intelligence operations or trying to identify those terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. president emanuel mccrone has insisted that protecting the environment is a top priority for frogs but along picture perfect resort studded coastline volunteer by the ski finds out pollution is still a critical problem. 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 ports so for years the oil refineries chemical factories and still companies have spewed out and 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 that get into our lungs and bloodstream and cause disease in us 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 die. bts and heart problems linked to the pollution. probably i 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 source 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 alice were while women who participated in a study were almost three times more likely to have or have had cancer compared to the national average even claims that 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 air 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 levels the european commission even admits that twenty three of its twenty eight member states exceed air quality norms and it 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 force so now are climbing the agenda meanwhile president micron has long been an advocate of ramping up the battle to combat climate change we are killing our planet's let the streets it's there is no planet b.

and if we do nothing our children will know world of migrations of walls of shortage done to 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 of 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 then 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. if you share your thoughts on all of our stories by following us on social media and leaving your comments there we're back in just over thirty minutes with the latest thing about. am i. did. not not. know the attitude of the business and.

i feel. like. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mattered the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich eight point six percent and the world market was thirty percent some with one hundred five hundred three first second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know for the mid one and only boom.

us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going out for the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the secretary defense office says we're got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the walls with them money those with dad lives. if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk of some discomfort or easiness or peace.

grano it was hard but you make the best of how you. come up and live so i mean having graduate and i showed up. my mother was a crack seized to do crack when i was a kid or when she had me or whatever she's she don't deliver no more my dad he was like a just a thief so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood from first grade i was a cool kid i mean i really was a first grade to middle with just when i left my childhood which was bad and love with somebody else i was a family my mom's friend and from like. every since i left the house that i
