muslim community and i think there's a great sound station incrementation criminalise. just said this said it's stigmatizing one way of considering islam. by this is our tonight show that we can just turn to one of the afternoon here in moscow. here with your world news update starting with the story that leaked documents cast doubt on the global chemical weapons watchdog report on a deadly incident in syria last year let's have a brief reminder of what happened in to me that's a city just 10 kilometers from the capital damascus.

so this newly leaked note contradicts the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion issued more than 2 months ago the report claims that cylinders probably containing chlorine were dropped from the air on the city do you recall now western governments use those findings very strongly a play in the syrian government for the attack however the twist now this mutely leaked o.p.c. w report reportedly written by one of its experts says it in fact it's unlikely that the 2 cylinders would drop from an aircraft it maintains they were probably placed there manually with more senior correspondent more gadgety of this lunchtime . this was a comprehensive study and you way you look at it iis engineers experts accounted for almost everything apparently visited the locations saw all 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 crater 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 indents but no consistent marks were found another location that canisters say the authors simply couldn't have fit through the impact crater with the valve still intact the only explanation for all of this the experts state is that they were placed their observations of the scene of the 2 locations together with subsequent analyses

suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed it there is 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft now one would think their findings are incredibly important that they would change the entire narrative is findings completely contradict what was later put in the official o.p.c. w. report on the chemical incident in duma narrative the acids helicopters drop to these canisters that was established hours after the incident with no investigation or questions and narrative that enabled the narmada of cruise missiles to be launched at syria u.b.c. w. has admitted that documents had been leaked and. 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 the documents turn the entire story 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. 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 far answers sooner or later professor peers robinson who accessed the report says the

o.p.c. w. has to address whether or not there's a cover up going on over the do memorable. 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 there needs to a 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 the people should be pushing for a proper investigation an international inquiry into what has been going on how do you easy ws be not writing and critically and investigation to try to understand what has been happening in syria in relation to all of these events need allegations regarding chemical weapons attacks meantime the u.n. security council's metal a situation in the middle east and touched on the syrian 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 cause civilian casualties and destroyed hospitals and a pharmacy russia the u.k. and the u.s. all had a great deal to say on this l's. neither the syrian army nor the russian air force

have been waging military operations against civilians 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 we tell 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 usually i hope you never need a hospital but there are good medical facilities in russia if you ever need it let us know united states reiterated that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region. we have our own view on who's destabilizing the region. another story a truck is here today to this one the united states has been

a god since the state of alabama approved that new abortion law which is currently the most restrictive in the country it criminalizes the procedure even in cases of rape or incest and punishes doctors with up to 99 years in prison if it carried out a similar heartbeat bill was signed in neighboring georgia earlier this month with the latest on it 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 prefer 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 and i think that should 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 laws 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 think it's good news why is that

a bill banning abortions after a woman has been pregnant for 6 weeks is not to 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 over 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 bro life signs show the world your numbers boycott new york boycott new york seriously don't go there

if everyone who's pro-life refuses to visit there we could cripple their tourism industry decided to find out how new yorkers feel about these new laws they're awful they're terrible for people men and women you 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. things a little bit the usually popular t.v. show game of thrones may have some serious consequences for productivity this coming monday all round the globe is going to be glued to the seat for that final

episode before the working week begins the show is also the subject of many news articles right now you may notice try to draw a parallel maybe between the plot of the real political situation in the world these days especially when it comes to iran and the us and. and the case you missed it to be picked up. in case you missed it u.s. forces are on the. when talent could be coming for iran hold on a 2nd is this a game of thrones episode. 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 goldblatt. 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 both dragons dragons are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok he doesn't want to be around this is so how many just a few of the great houses are allowed the ability to tell an entire cities into smoldering ashes but only one species 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 about parts of the list that sheared night john bolton says using the intelligence indicating that the iran distance is all planning attacks against trump garrion forces there is reports

coming from the little the virus netanyahu that released the mosque of whisper has all of this makes the iran a star is in for a dragon of their own 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 climates they're likely to scatter in different directions when the fighting begins and at least one will probably use. the problem for the around just as it is that they have no idea if they're dealing with the seasons $1.00 to $7.00 from carrion or to season 8 version . i have. you know the plot thickens what meantime a correspondent john hawkins pleased to say talked to one of the big stars of the massive show game of thrones known to fans as ramsey bold he was on the adventure of his own company to russia for his 1st visit parent lee the bit about shots

coming up now if you want to see the full thing it's on our site and our you tube channel give a wonder what would happen if you had the sort of grisly end in season 6 yeah i don't know. how we would have felt but a near is something you probably would have been on your side from the 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 that drama and the and the intrigue between the nearest and. 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. i don't

know 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 i don't know what 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 but the hype surrounding that i haven't seen much good ask you so what's in this is a let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of the finale i think one of the great things about it is it just doesn't matter what you people can sit around and discuss in and have all these ideas and 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 up coming i'm very interested to see the scene between. you going to settle after after it goes away something as epic as that which is you know really. defined you at least in the last couple of years as a as a as 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 that it 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 yeah this is art international law good luck to him thanks for coming to talking to us no just like you know there could be a major scandal brewing in australia to whether or correspond find out what that's about when we come back of the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. those who they are supporting cast but they have they don't care about the mayor they don't care about the stability of libya. it is about their own agendas. and so we might be bugged here for a long time to be really

a civil war that continues for 4 months time. well again so for the break seems a major scandal could be brewing in austria where leaked video allegedly shows the head of the country's ruling party meeting a woman who claims to be the niece of a russian oligarch she apparently office financial support for the party's election campaign something that's illegal in austria this is just coming through court as cross adult. what's happening here so far well this video has certainly really stirred the pot and austrian politics lately there's been a lot of speculation that the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz may and his party's 2 year coalition with the austrian freedom party over this now the video depicts austria's for former vice chancellor and freedom party politician cutting

a backroom deal. well with this woman claiming to be a russian investor back in 2017 the woman allegedly offered to buy a 50 percent stake in amman a major austrian newspaper to flip the editorial position in favor of the freedom party so let's take a look at some of the some of the parts that clip. we're going to see sort of. species like to. you she's. now those wealthy individuals mentioned in the video reportedly had something to do with a charity organization connected to the freedom party now they according to some sources in the media had. were making donations to the freedom party basically now strachan his colleagues acknowledge that this meeting took place but they swear that they intended to stay within the bounds of austrian law and the individuals mentioned in the meeting claimed that they never gave any money to directly to the

party so we'll have to see how exactly this will affect the austrian politics in the near future. very near future just looking at another line that's come through to me here vice chancellor apparently going to announce he's resigning imminently maybe even in the next few minutes if that's the case sebastian coe is currently will announce snap elections because he said he won't be able to work with him if he's resigned that won't really matter but it looks as a lot happening lives after this doesn't evoke a well you get back get back across it. in the coming hours yeah thanks. for saying in austria where a northern province is set to issue some rules of conduct for refugees entitled 10 commandments to live in this country to live in austria this list among other things requires migrants to learn german and respect austrian values and was drawn up by the right wing freedom party supposedly with the aim of helping people to integrate asked if he said there's a footnote it doesn't include penalties for noncompliance at least the movement.

under the publicity stunt by critics they say asylum seekers in austria already have to sign a declaration which covers integration language and values the footnote the back story to this rather the height of the european refugee crisis in 2050 worth bearing in mind it was $90000.00 people applied for asylum in austria was brought one percent of the country's total population the influence of widespread public opposition but there memphis for 2018 the government pulled out of the un global migration pact with some opposing views on the program of the way stealing with refugees one side media commentator on the other political analyst catherine schachter. if you ask the people in austria people saw 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 the private sphere no problem but i don't want our societies to get in the name of multiculturalism and the islamic community developing which is anti 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 sound some statement is ation incrimination of obviously all together in australia 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 it can and i think that it's leading to 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 that with radicalism but it can we not 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 good for him. as the lady just

said about these 10 commandments they simply want the people to realize that they are welcome in a country that would put their social welfare to the disposal of these markets that will welcome them so they should show gratitude it should grained in them that they should and the stern that i will say that i personally feel that yes when it comes to kindergarten and trying for a school i don't think that anyone can make the religious argument that children no girl should wear a headscarf because it's neither here nor there when it comes to their religious argument because it's not mandatory and that the tall people do clash not civilization not society not communities only if we believe in hatred and fear yes we will clash but if we do believe in compassion and humanity and democracy it won't. be so far from me today but so much more from schools almost like the force of not i would keep a close eye on what might be happening in australia soft new political story here
