a refugee the man had been issued with the prepaid debit card underneath you scheme to help you cope. with today's news and the week's top stories this is the return from. welcome to the program a victim of last year's navajo poisonings in the u.k. has been to meet the russian ambassador in an attempt to find out more about the nerve agent attack put all of his unanswered questions to alexander. mr ali and his partner dawn sturgis of 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 the top exceptions sturges died a week later in hospital charlie rarely met with mr in the russian embassy in london. reports. feeling so many of his questions were left unanswered by the
1:02 pm
u.k. government charlie has met with them reached out to the russian ambassador to london and now he's lost his partner and is 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 nearly a script last hit by what was said to be the never 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 pals three hours
1:03 pm
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 pain amesbury and what happened in solsbury before they never received any official reports for many months now mr rowley and dylan's 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 don't sturgis ones 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 riley raised is that he
1:04 pm
felt his reputation was affected by u.k. press describing him as homeless when he was simply a british this isn't charlie and his brother very nice people the first thing they told me was that the british press misrepresented them. 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 to announce it. we have plenty of questions regarding the cremation of miss sturgis because it destroyed all proof making it impossible to examine the results of those investigations that have been carried out by the british authorities everything the u.k. and thirty's 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
1:05 pm
riley says he just wants to know more details. mr rowley's case came just a few months after the poisoning of russian double agents against crippled and his daughter in the city of souls bria march twenty eighth both survived though mr scobell has not been seen a potently since the u.k. has blamed moscow for both incidents russia though claims no evidence has been produced and flatly denied any involvement of a tickle analyst alice entrepreneur believes the media has failed in their reporting of the case. the british media is sort of mild 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 unclear they had all the answers who did what they did and there were the we don't know what the police investigation is this is this requires
1:06 pm
a real police investigation the biggest role in the whole affair to me that's caused by the bell link out website that claims to use open source whatever that is information techniques to find out what's going on from ukraine to discrete parts of the u.k.'s mirror newspaper published an article on sunday about the meeting with the russian ambassador the paper says mr rowley asked the ambassador why did your country kill my girlfriend and that he received only russian propaganda in response moscow's envoy says though that he and mr rowley found some common ground and that the not a child victim wanted to hear russia's position on the case t.v. host and political commentator stephen 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
1:07 pm
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 have reporters there but i would have to feel that if they are 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. you crane is preparing for a second round runoff in its presidential election after the first round saw comedian and political newcomer blow to me as an anti surge ahead in the polls on the current ukrainian leader petro poroshenko trailing in second place ahead of the second vote poroshenko has been calling on his rival to hold
1:08 pm
a public debate so let's get it in one condition though a drug test both candidates invited journalists and photographers to the pre-debate giving in to trying to report. 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 person co and funny guy of all of them are zelinsky aka is a president is a tough one backing the winner of raw. and 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. and we did you know. we will
1:09 pm
bring back crimea. and we can use this one. 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 you did 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
1:10 pm
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 and 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 the russian has been waging a hybrid war against a country for five years and train is under. the threat of food scale 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 runoff 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
1:11 pm
have a sell by date of this year's presidential election in ukraine seems to have going less attention in the west than in twenty forty the countries also receive less financial assistance from the united states than in previous years political analyst martin summers says that significant. amounts of money that they've committed to the election suggests that they're losing face in the populace 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 it was one of the candidates think that's hopeful for ukraine and hopeful for the general situation because we do need independent people
1:12 pm
who've got a bit an independent doesn't shoot 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 see it's not clear. asked year spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by sea with many of them reportedly help across by people smugglers and human traffic of from morocco spoke to investigative journalist lauren southern to describe how lucrative trade works. how do people get the space very people have to get have to spend a lot of money here 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. fifty person you do fifty person everybody and by two thousand five hundred you know two thousand five
1:13 pm
hundred and then when the book into your head to look at the phone well earlier we also spoke with lauren southern who filmed that interview with the milken smuggler she told us more about the scene. 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 the 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 can ten boats in
1:14 pm
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 arrived by sea in twenty eighty about sixty thousand made the crossing laura southern believe 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
1:15 pm
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 up with our own eyes passports that had been ripped up on the ground in these camps and 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
1:16 pm
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 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 as control or so years hungry says a suspected eisel fighter and captured who is living in the country of generous you had that among all stories still ahead in the week he returns after the break. can. break said.
1:17 pm
manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. the one percent. nor middle of the room signal. in the world of political matchmaking the european union has long put values before wealth as its most desirable attribute. in the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry. that's attractive to potential partners.
1:18 pm
back to the weekly vaccine activists in the united states claim they're being persecuted like jews during the holocaust in going as far as donning a star of david to make that point and softer on vaccinating children are banned from entering that certain public places in a new goal county following a means for the outbreak. how are we going to do you know how are we going to rescue. you will do the same way we did the last time so for you. to use new york right now never thought this moment will come i am still are you still with you i don't think that there's a need for quarantine for things like chicken pox or mean or moms these are all illnesses that pass in a few days they have
1:19 pm
a very very very low death rate the death rate of measles was one in ten thousand people to contract it measles and nine hundred sixty the poor bax who came along just because the pharmaceutical industry makes billions of dollars off of a vaccine that protects against the measles and they run a campaign trying to make us terrified of a disease we should not be terrified of those not want to point. a polish holocaust museum says the star of david is being misappropriated by the anti vaccine activists the engine symbol of the religion was used to label jews during the second world war by the nazis and the museum accuse the activists of belittling one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental icing the feet of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like auschwitz with poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that save human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration util star for the jewish people
1:20 pm
is about remembrance for us you know it's to mark people because of what they are we paid the jewish people paid a terrible price because of these you know star drew another jew you don't you have no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of political i would say game you make them becoming cheap we cannot forget when children women and people were worrying what happened to them and what happened to them to have this too has to be burns to be sent to a guest chambers so if people are doing so even jews they are doing a terrible mistake on for me it's a terrible abuse and i think it's. it's that should be punished by law according to the u.s. government agency dealing with diseases in twenty eighteen the country suffered
1:21 pm
seventeen outbreaks of measles the number of cases this year has rocketed to almost four hundred and it's expected to rise the cases were mainly registered among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish community resulting in some jews in the state of new york being quarantined. the big three again says he used the star of david to show solidarity with the jewish community and had no intention of offending anyone. well i did not use it as a symbol for entire vaccination i use it as a symbol of solidarity with the city jewish community in rockland county new york that have been quarantined in america cannot for the next thirty days go into any public places i think there's the chance that those jewish people have not actually seen my speech there's a been a real misrepresentation of what i said by people who are always against the perspectives that i share so obviously there's always going to be different perspectives but i only appreciate perspectives that actually listen to the speech
1:22 pm
that i gave. government says it's detained an islamic state commander who entered your opposing as a refugee and is suspected of carrying out terror attacks in syria i was also discovered the syrian national was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. was part of a migration assistance program is our europe correspondent peter oliver imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist a senior eisel commander and not just any money taxpayer 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 they suspected terrorists
1:23 pm
hiding among refugees that inadvertently being 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 pole factor 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
1:24 pm
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 new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment parties dealt another blow because laps of the territory that so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through amounts why very carefully orchestrated 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 known just how to sort of coming
1:25 pm
through and to run intelligence operation. trying to identify those unknown terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world ok that's the way to for this our thanks for watching next we're going to visit a very different type of orphanage in africa which is giving baby elephants a second jobs of life. 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 melt to a point where they're almost indistinguishable if you can't really distinguish what all. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of
1:26 pm
their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circuit events officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for.
1:27 pm
well. we'll leave. you to. when we have a new baby we will often hang a hang
1:28 pm
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 the texture on the face and the fact that 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 see. the world. was being with us all two weeks to the day actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued with them and so we crossed the ten day mark i mean he arrived she had very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was going to be touch and go. and. deprived of their mothers' baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help
1:29 pm
unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't best. friends found a descent of a wolf and animals to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. to keep a. secret. it . is so the elephants start off the day when the sun rises early in the morning the handlers come they clean out their stables they feed the fence and then they let them out and they walk with them from the nursery. to the bush which is a three hundred take piece a virgin bush that they've got to themselves just them and listen a few and to look so they come here in the morning they roam around freely together
1:30 pm
they feed they eat range of things leaves roots grass different things and they feed. drink water they also swim. in the mud just do things that elephants do and they do it together as a herd so they come here every day and then when it starts getting dark at about four or five o'clock they'll start walking together with they had back to the nursery. we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that had been orphaned and he is a victim of touching down in the south for the country and he was found dead in an area where they.
