hope your weekend is going well wherever you're tuning in from my names you know our top story. corruption has cost the austrian vice chancellor his job seen hundreds of protesters outside parliament in. undercover video showed christian. public to a woman pretending to be nice. in exchange for political support he say he's the victim. yes it was stupid yes it was responsible yes it was a mistake but at the same time it was a victim of a targeted political attack that he used illegal means so after talks with the

chancellor sebastian quirked i made the decision to resign from the post a feisty chancellor. all started with this video that came out of what was clearly a sting it's caused quite a scandal around the right wing freedom party and its former vice chancellor he and the senior member of the party johan good denis were shown cutting a back room deal with a woman claiming to be the niece of a russian all a dark with lothian citizenship back in 2017 right before the austrian elections so they spoke about the party taking money from wealthy donors who kept their paper trail hidden apparently through a charity organization the woman also allegedly offered to buy 50 percent stock of a major austrian newspaper to flip the editorial line in favor of the freedom party .

he said. he. now stretch apologized for what he said he said he discredited people with his actions said he was dumb an embarrassed himself but at the same time he also did say that he was the victim of illegal entrapment and denies receiving money from this woman and as well as his party as party also denies receiving any money coincidentally this video from 2 years ago also surfaced only several days after there was meeting between the austrian president and russian president vladimir putin nobody knows where this video came from or who set up the camera now earlier today the other guy in the video goodness also resigned from his position in the party and 2017 these those elections they were a big step forward for the freedom party actually they took 26 percent of the vote their best. results since 1999 so the scandal in these regular resignations they could put an end to some of the gains from those elections in which they took power

only through the coalition with the austrian people's party the junior party in the coalition weren't they so that will mean this senior party especially kurtz's party the chancellor will he now look for early elections and you know well stream media is reporting that snap elections have been called actually asked for struck his replacement reports are saying that the transport minister no birth hole for his lined up to become the next vice chancellor so we already seem to resignations in the span of only several hours you know so what we're seeing here are some big changes in the political landscape in austria. the united states has strengthened its fleet in the persian gulf by sending 2 more of its missile destroyers to the region the ships are partly passed without incident in the hormuz strait join the other warships and earlier this month there is currently growing tension between the us under a rug with washington accusing it subversive of plotting to attack quote american interests while polly boy goes online series in case you missed it has its own

unique take on the situation. in case you missed it you asshole says. when can i become a. hold on a 2nd is this a game of friends i say. just that this stuff in the middle east is really important and. honestly it would be stupid enough to come past something as serious as this a t.v. show about boobies. is that real you know wow imagine if the latest us iran showdown was actually a game of thrones i'm not wearing the. golden head donald trump darien is the only thousands of dragons dragons are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok ito isn't one round

this is how many just a few of the great houses are allowed the ability to tell an entire city's into smoldering ashes but only one species dead now trump guerin's forces are gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his eye and feet and popcorn others peace loving at a craft carrier is just off the coast he's even threatened to send out 120000 sunday troops there as well but he doesn't want to you may be confused by that part of the whole list stuff here tonight john bolton says he's getting the intelligence indicating that the iran distance is all planning attacks against trump garrion forces there is your poll it's come 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 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 doing that the stocks of europe a warning that a conflict could stop accidentally but when it comes to the crunch they're likely to scatter in different directions when the fighting begins and at least one will probably be. 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 trump carrion or the season 8 version. i haven't heard. paul you might be interested in the following as well because we stay with the game of thrones theme much anticipated finale to the epic fantasy t.v. series urged tomorrow sunday night and according to one study as many as 5000000 people believe it or not could be set to skip work the following day meanwhile the actor who plays ramsey bolton in the show has been on an adventure of his own with his 1st trip here to russia he's been talking to daniel hawkins although they were

spoiler alert if you're not up to speed. give a wonder what would have happened ramsey if you had the sort of gristly and in season 6 yeah i don't know. how we would have felt but there is something we probably would have been. in a stupid she's got dragged it was but i don't think the way the narrative of the shows played. 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 and. and jon snow obviously because what else are you going to do he just isn't so many awful things that he just you know who'd just been archived you know we're going to do now as you've described as well sort of nothing's black and white there's no villains you know 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 i don't know 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 . could ask us that what's that 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 are they just no matter what you think they always seem to find a way to twist 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. little 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 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 sort of finishes as you know has just fizzled out going out with buying in. yen and then on to the next thing and yeah. all right moving on now a leaked document has raised questions about the global chemical weapons watchdogs report on a deadly attack in syria last year the incident took place in the city of duma around 10 kilometers away from the syrian capital as government forces that vance towards opposition militants who had occupied the area here's

a brief reminder of how the situation unfolded back then. well a newly leaked document appears to be at all odds with the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion issued more than 2 months ago the report claimed that cylinders probably containing chlorine were dropped from the air on to the city of duma well western governments use those findings to blame the syrian government for the at however the document reportedly written by an affiliate of experts say it's unlikely the 2 cylinder were dropped from the air it claims rather they were placed

there and this is the important part manually our senior correspondent morocco's the it brings us more. 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 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 the only explain nation for all of this the experts state is that they were placed there. observations of the scene of the 2 locations together with subsequent analyses 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 is findings completely contradict what was later 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 and narrative that enabled the narmada of cruise missiles to be

launched at syria u.p.c. w. has admitted that documents had been leaked 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 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 with the story gaining traction so for answers sooner or later. because the of talking us through the professor appears robinson who assess the document for a british academic research group so he's seen it sees the weapons watchdog has to address whether there is a cover up going on over there doing the report. what kind of political pressure and mine to be 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 messed up 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 these who are 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. 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 use the not crating uncritically 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 well if you just go back to friday that was when the u.n. security council convened to the sky some of the challenges facing the middle east including of course the conflict in syria the talks though focused on an all knowing syrian government offensive on rebel held in the province in the country where your western countries are alleging the other forces with the russian are supported by the straw at hospitals and cause civilian fatalities the claims which russia and syria strongly that is they have done from days. all led to some fierce exchanges at the meeting. neither the syrian army nor the russian. military operations against civilians or civilian infrastructure russia and the regime's decision to launch air strikes sends a terrible signal of disregard towards the u.n. political process. refused to consider it as an untouchable and will continue

despite the objections of some of. its return it strikes surgical. precision. medical treatment. i hope you never need. medical facilities in russia if you have a. united states reiterates that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region. we have our own view on who's destabilizing the region. you're watching international still to come on the program defiant yellow protesters head out onto the streets of 27 consecutive weekend we've got the pictures.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. those who don't are supporting craft and they have they don't care about the mere they don't kid about the stability of libya. it is about their own agendas. and so

we might be bumped up here for a long time to be really a civil war that continues for 4 months time. 20 minutes past 6 pm here in moscow welcome back this week the u.s. state of alabama approved a new abortion law the most restrictive in the country it criminalizes the procedure even in cases of rape or incest that punishes doctors with up to 19 years in prison while a similar heartbeat bill was signed in the neighboring georgia earlier this month picking up the story for us r t v's. 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 eat 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 that if a woman doesn't want to have an 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 think it's good news why isn't 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 the state where a strong majority agrees with it were reflects that communities values will. i was rigid so 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 new york virginia new mexico and all the other insane states that will not protect the babies native new york pro-lifer gather outside like the new stations with pro-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 the tourism industry i 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 caleb up an artsy new york. ok will bring you know to france where there have been skirmishes in part especially in police and yellow vest protesters who are once again nationwide for the 27th weekend in a row let's take a look at some live pictures right now from the latest rallies come in spite of the president's attempts to address the growing swell of a popular anger over falling living standards these pictures in fact a little earlier in the day give you a sense really. if the crowds coming out i'm not seeing something because this is the lowest turnout yet for the movement or last week was this week in perspective to be similar. by the way it also comes

a week before next week's kingly 4th european parliament elections we will see what comes of thought but yet more than half a year on people still coming i'd onto the streets to protest the government some of its policies. ok some pictures now indeed from saudi arabia incredible really heavy rains causing flooding near the city of. in mecca province just look at the kingdom's meteorologists been warning all. in recent days it's clear from media reports whether anyone has been injured but local residents are being told to take all necessary safety precautions. or i thought is our lot for no you're watching or to international i'll be back in just a more global update this 1
