11 am sunday morning here in moscow headlining this then russia's envoy to the u.n. accuses the global chemical weapons watchdog group becoming highly politicized document appears to contradict the. p.c. probe into a chemical attack in syria so our top story today. also in use a wave of outrage in the u.s. off the state of alabama drops the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. bill you make a choice. it's not going to work like some of the comments. i also have respect for life. controversy after. the

rules. gratian the asylum seekers we discuss the implications with. the community and i think a great sound. criminalise. just said the city stigmatizing one way considering it's. good morning to the start international law and 1st in this. document is cast doubt on the global chemical weapons watchdogs report on a deadly incident in syria last year it contradicts the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion that toxic cylinders were dropped from the on the city of duma. of a senior correspondent as the latest. this was a comprehensive study and you way you look at it iis engineers experts accounted

for almost everything apparently visited the locations saw well the images the videos simulated the physical properties of the canisters concrete steel supports rebars everything they could account for they did it seems is what they found one location in the creator and the chemical canister simply put didn't match instead the crater appears the being caused by an explosive shell before or after and the canister in the impact crater just don't match when a metal can falls through a concrete roof and steel supports you'd expect it to leave marks in dense but no consistent marks were found in another location canisters say the authors simply couldn't have fit through the impact crater with the valve still intact uni

explanation for all of this the experts state is that they were placed there. observations of the scene of the 2 locations together with subsequent analysis suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were money placed it there is $2.00 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft now one would think their findings are incredibly important that they would change the entire narrative findings completely contradict what was laid to put in the official o.p.c. w. report on the chemical incident and duma narrative the acid's helicopters drop to these canisters that was established hours after the incident with no investigation or questions a narrative that enabled the narmada of cruise missiles to be launched at syria.

u.b.c. w. has admitted that documents had been leaks and say they're investigating how it happened which into the veracity of these documents they didn't deny their legitimacy worryingly u.p.c. w. has issued no comment on what the specific report found there were many other reports which the u.p.c. w. compiled for their final version on how these leaked findings fly in the face of the u.p.c. w.'s official report and the documents turn the entire story up side down and bear in mind these aren't just random nobodies we don't know whether this team was part

of the u.p.c. w staff members or outside consultants experts and the u.p.c. w. . who is saying nothing other than it looked at all versions and sub investigations and compiled them asked for comment a week ago with a list of questions and there's been no response why did they meet this report why did they go for one version of events and not the other why are they taking so long to comment on this so far silence but with the story gaining traction so for answers sooner or later professor peers robinson who access the report says the o.p.c. w. has to address whether or not there's a cover up going on over the doom report. what kind of political pressure might have been brought to bear on your p.c. w to lead to what would appear to be the case to to suppress will not use a report which one of their star members has been involved in producing and to rely

upon engineering reports from some unspecified external companies those are the kind of questions 3 really need to be asking and really you know p.c. w. has to address this i think more broadly than that and he's going to proper investigation into the o.p.c. w. and how it has been operating because if it is the case that it's organization has been subjected to political pressure and that has led to a distortion there investigations then that is an incredibly serious matter for whole number of reasons quite aside from the fact that we did what happened in duma civilians were killed and we need to get to the bottom of who killed them ok this is a war crime has occurred and it is in any way some kind of coverup going on and that's a very very serious matter and it's something which should be people should be pushing for a proper investigation an international inquiry into what has been going on how do

you have been operating and critically and investigation to try to understand what has been happening in syria in relation to all of these events and these allegations regarding chemical weapons attacks meantime the u.n. security council's metal situation in the middle east untouched on the syria conflict the security council focused on air strikes in syria earlier this month according to western countries that were carried out by syrian government forces they call civilian casualties and destroyed hospitals in the pharmacy rochelle u.k. and the u.s. all had a great deal to say on the assault. syria neither the syrian army nor the russian air force have been waging a military operation against. villian or civilian infrastructure russia and the regime's decision to launch air strikes sends a terrible signal of disregard toward the u.n. political process where we refuse to consider terrorists as an untouchable and will

continue to fight them despite the objections of some of our partners russia has claimed its so-called return it strikes where surgical i quote surgical in their precision i hope i do not need medical treatment in moscow if surgical accuracy means what we've seen. i hope you never need a hospital but there are good medical facilities in russia so if you ever need it let us know united states reiterate that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region we must do it here so we have our own views on who's destabilizing the region. and the headlines today the united states has been at odds of late since the state of alabama approved a new abortion law which is currently the most restrictive in the country that criminalizes the procedure even in cases of rape or incest and punishes doctors of up to 99 years in prison a similar bill was signed in neighboring georgia earlier this month with the latest on it artie's caleb maupin. alabama and georgia have passed their widely

decried heartbeat bills these laws ban the terminations of pregnancy after 6 weeks even if the woman has been raped even if the fetus is not viable they make no exception and not surprisingly these bills have been rather controversial this is the most extreme abortion ban that's ever been passed so there's a higher penalty for doctors who perform these operations then for most rapists this is a travesty and i pray for all these women and young girls who will suffer at the hands of the system these are the eating it's making decisions for women in america governor i.v. shame on you celebrities are now speaking out actress alyssa morano is pulling a page from the old greek comedy list the strada and calling on women not to have sex with men until the laws are overturned and certain voices are calling on big corporations like amazon delta airlines and coca-cola to boycott antiabortion

states i think if a woman doesn't want to have it i think that you have the option to be decided as the mayor here in the seventy's to pass through versus wade because women were still going to force you just and say but it's not just the pro-choice side that is getting fired up anti abortion activists are furious about new was in new york and virginia now these bills allow for a doctor to take into account physical emotional and even a woman's age when making the decision to terminate a pregnancy at any point and needless to say conservatives have gotten fired up by the implications of these laws i'm asking you is why is it that a bill banning abortions after a woman has been pregnant for 6 weeks is not a return to the dark ages what's your answer my answer is something called science human life exists at conception it ought to be protected abortion has never been popular in the state of alabama it applies only in a state where a strong majority agrees with it were reflects that communities values will. i was

outraged i think anyone who cares about the n born would have been it is inhumane it is immoral in my opinion and this is what i'm fighting against the anti abortion side is now calling for drastic action it's time the millions of commonsense pro-life americans canonically boy called new york are genia new mexico rhode island and all the other insane states that will not protect the turn babies native new york pro lifers gather outside life in new stations with bright life signs show the world your numbers boycott new york boycott new york seriously don't go there if everyone who is pro-life refuses to visit there we could cripple the tourism industry decided to find out how new yorkers feel about these new laws careful it's terrible for people men and women who need to make a choice should be at the ability to make a choice if you don't have that ability it's not going to work i have mixed feelings i could see both sides i don't like some of the comments that were made

about women and rape but i also have respect for life and do you think there is a point where we need to be more mindful of what we're doing certain things this is an old fight in american politics between 2 groups that just won't see eye to eye and it seems that the powers that be have picked this longstanding divide among the american people and said ready set fight could go all the way up to the supreme court again kaleb up and r.t. new york. or less like the top of it now the popular t.v. show game of thrones may have some serious consequences for productivity this monday or around the globe fans are going to be glued to their seats for the final episode right before the working week begins which the show is also the subject of many news articles of course everywhere right now some trying to draw parallels between the plot may be the real political situation in the world especially those tensions between iran and the u.s. probably boyko picked up on the latest in case you missed it. in case you missed it

u.s. forces are on the move when terror could be coming for iran hold on a 2nd is this a game of thrones up to say it. is just that this stuff in the middle east is really important. to them but honestly who would be stupid enough to compare something as serious as this to a t.v. show about boobies and gold. is that real. imagine if the latest us iran showdown was actually a game of thrones i'm not wearing the. t. golden head donald trump variant is the only thousands of dragons the dragons are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok either one be honest as to how many just

a few of the great houses are allowed the ability to tell an entire city's into smoldering ashes but only ones he's dead now trump guerin's forces are gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his ion fleet and parked one of theirs peace loving at a craft carrier is just off the coast he's even threatened to send 120000 sunday troops there as well but he doesn't want you may be confused by that part of the plan mistah sheered night john bolton says using the intelligence indicating that the iran distance is all planning attacks against trump garrion forces 30 reports coming from the little the virus netanyahu the middle east the monster of wispa is all of this makes the iran a star is in for a dragon of their road more than ever and they're threatening to try and breed one again soon because the trunk guerin's pulled out of an ancient pact which stopped

them during that the stocks of europe a warning that a conflict could stop accidentally but when it comes to the club which they're likely to scatter in different directions when the fighting begins and at least one will probably be. the problem for the iran desk as it is that they have no idea if they're dealing with the seasons $1.00 to $7.00 trump area or the season 8 version . i have. correspondent hawkins talked to one of the stars of the big game of thrones show known to fans as ramsey leads on adventure of his own came here to russia 1st time partly you can watch the full interview on our website for you tube channel. given wonder what would happen if you had the sort of grisly end in season 6 yeah i don't know. if you know how we would have felt but the nearest you probably would have been to be on your side in a stupid she's got

a dragon but i don't think the way the narrative of the show's played out it would have been as good with ramsey they i think. i think he needs to sort of be gotten rid of in order to. install the starks back to create the drama and the and the intrigue between the nearest sin. and jon snow obviously because what else are you going to do he just is in so many awful things that he just you know who'd just been arc you know was going to do now as you've described as well sort of nothing's black and white there's no villains you know it's very interesting playing those sorts of roles i've never been romeo as you know i mean in. so i guess i'm. something else. i really enjoy playing the more complex roles because there's just more to it. and it's often yes more interesting i think donna well that says about me as a person. or maybe you know i think you need a specific kind of actor to play those roles and in order to make them not be sort

of just face value and have depth and to be 3 dimensional and maybe you need a specific kind of actor and we had a person obviously getting away from a game of thrones is that is the big thing right now that the hype surrounding that that always a i haven't seen much could ask you what's this eerie so let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of the finale i think one of the great things about it is he just doesn't mater what you people can sit around and discuss in and have all these ideas and for they just no matter what you think they always seem to find a way to twist that i thought coming into the series there was no way around it being the nearest but now i was thinking in june last and so i don't know if she's but i kind of saw the upcoming i'm very interested to see the scene between. you going to sort all of the author it goes away something is epic is that which is you know really. defined you at least in the last couple of years as a an actor yeah of course i miss it but it's also it's everything's got to come to

a close and i think it's quite exciting the sort of finishes as you know has just fizzled out going out with the buying in. yen and then on to the next thing and. big star seems like most goes well you were talking to us there direct if you want to catch more if you can on our various sites coming up e.u. citizens grew increasingly pessimistic about the future is apparently just ahead of those big upcoming euro elections more than after the break. just manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. in the final.

we can all middle of the room sick. most people manage public pension funds don't know anything about them they're just the clerks that they just signs in this job they give them a bunch of money and wall street guys come around and they take them out to lunch that thomas marty is and then they sell me a bag of worms and some a lot of garbage most toxic risk on wall street is sold into these public pension funds where it goes to die that's why their returns are so.

i give her a good morning everyone from the world is coming up to about 20 minutes past 11 in the morning here that was a good time if fact exactly straight on that so next story that a province in northern australia is set to issue some rules of conduct for refugees with the title 10 commandments on living in austria the list among other things requires micros to learn german and respect austrian values it was drawn up by the right wing freedom party supposedly with the aim of helping people to integrate but it does not include penalties. must be said for noncompliance the move is being branded the publicity stunt by critics though they say asylum seekers in austria already have to sign a declaration which covers integration and covers language and values with better mind the background to this at the height of the european refugee crisis in 2015 almost 90000 people applied for asylum in austria equivalent of one percent of the country's population the influx sparked widespread public opposition then fast forward 2018 the government pulled out of the un global migration pact we had some

opposing views on the way austria is dealing with refugees from media commentator on one side and political analysts catherine schachter on the other. if you ask the people in austria but also in france belgium spain or anywhere they don't want koranic schools they don't want this of course they can practice their religion in private sphere no problem but i don't want our societies to get in the name of multiculturalism. community developing which is and tie west and that is the problem i think the issue here is that it's targeting specifically the muslim community and i think there is a great sense of stigmatisation incrimination of of islam all together in austria i'm not sure that those 10 commandments would actually address anything other than further alienating a community that is actually trying to you know to integrate the best they can and i think that it's leading the debate you know elsewhere this law is not

stigmatizing resorting to the silly it's stigmatizing a wrong way of considering islam we have an issue with radicalism began we're now addressing the issue by trying to criminalize the entirety of the muslim community and i think that's the problem because we're talking religious freedoms and that's an issue that you know i think worries me greatly because by if we're doing in one community is rightly overeating all of our rights and i think that in which we need to wake up to this reality there is no criminalize ation as the lady just said about these 10 commandments they simply want the people to realise that they are welcome in a country that would put their social welfare to the disposal of these markets that we would welcome them so they should show gratitude it should be ingrained in them that they should understand that and i will say that i personally feel that yes when it comes to kindergarten and primary school i don't think that anyone can make the religious argument that children little girls should wear

a headscarf because it's neither here nor there when it comes to the religious argument because it's not mandatory and that the tool people do. not civilization not society not communities only if we believe in hatred and fear yes we will clash if we do believe in compassion and humanity and democracy it won't be. the collapse of the e.u. is a realistic possibility of peril in the coming decades says a polar head of the european elections suggesting that is the view of many of the bloc it also comes with statistics showing that 3 in 10 voters believe there could be even be a war between the countries which other do boesky has the story. with less than a week to go before the e.u. heads to the polls it seems that you are files have found something new to panic about and i'm not talking about an upsurge in support for you or skeptic parties according to one thing tank this is the european council on foreign relations there are just 7 days to save the union now that may sound drastic but when you look at

the results of a survey that they've just released beginning to understand why the e.u. has been described as the world's best known peace project but it seems a surprisingly large number of voters across the block off fearful war may break out between member states here in france that was the greatest pessimism with 34 percent saying that it was a realistic prospect so we've been putting this to people here in paris to find out if this scares the bejesus out of them i have to say that we are a little bit scared but i hope that this will not like to have more consequences like rex either so i think you're dreaming. like nightmare there will never happen . in the suppose in the future to think you wouldn't i don't think so we have for the 1st thing. in. always we we need to always

try to move move one evil yeah well could be another economic crisis and you wrote all the countries are burdened with debts we're not really afraid of. economy very open economy. we're dependent on foreign investment. in 20 years lots of things could happen and there could be a war we could see a repeat of the 1st of the 2nd world war i'm not actually worried about that but we never know as i would think all of that's happened over the course of history but europe would not want to do that again because i think. it's a problem for the future and that's why it's important to vote in elections perhaps just as worrying is that some 58 percent of respondents here in france thought that the e.u. was likely to fall apart in the next 10 to 20 years reflecting a general trend in other member states including many italy and poland maybe

a bit late in the day but i think tank e.c.s. far is now looking for inspiration as how it can encourage more true e.u. voters to cast their ballots next week to safeguard the future suggest taking a leaf out of the book of protest movements like the yellow backs here in france or even extinction rebellion basically the penny has finally dropped many voters are turned off by traditional politicians and there is huge apathy towards the e.u. parliament and its institutions so is it too late to save europe or to save it from itself. r.t. paris well 28 member states 512000000 people will be voting 220020 6 will be covering it as well so far more from us include moments we see more of the dot com or you tube channel. coming to 27 minutes past 11 this after the rest of a great week it.

as opposed to see on his attorney when. born one was a little did he. know it. was a rural u.k. you. got to know people you see posting that's when the police you know it's good. that's the time to get. if you ask them if they're finished if you. give.

them after a time you were going underground on the day of arguably the most controversial eurovision song contest final in history coming up in the show mayor of an occupied town in the west bank author of trump of the jews david rubin well now your vision promoted by both madonna and the u.k. the b.b.c. politically validates israel amidst the prospect of the most devastating war in middle east history and we also heard the britain should have taken bought it all now there is filmed proof of interference in u.k. politics by the israeli embassy in london but it's not fully your revision hip hop artist and activist loki tells us why we should be boycotting tonight's final all the some more coming up in today's going on the grounds of 1st to your vision in a week when more than 22. oldring was shot by israeli forces someone who will be

watching the madonna and b.b.c. information competition is the former mayor of shallow in the contested west bank david rubin joins me via a noisy skype link from new york david welcome to going underground so what does having the euro vision song contest in tel aviv mean to you well it's very very important for the for the country you know israel. there was controversy over this . israel wonder less your vision and as you know there's a tradition that the country that wins the or vision owes the euro vision in the follow on year but of course having it miserable is is a recognition that maybe the world is becoming a better place for the spite the objections of some of their dicer mates in moving people like roger waters and others. there is absolutely no reason why israel should not be the host it's obviously pink floyd's our front man roger waters deny

that he is an anti-semite absolutely and for all of what you're saying how happy you are you know only too well about security issues presume it'll have to be very tight just remind us the story that you've been told recently of how the militants nearly killed you and your 3 year old son sparing you to create the shiloh israel children's fund in years ago driving home from the literal son sitting behind me in the b.b.c. . they were helping old. mess a terrible terrorists who are the road these terrorists were tells the. terrorists. they were shooting $47.00 assault rifles and found out that my son opens up. the bullet hole into his head necklaces brainstem by one knee when.
