from. home. from. his deputy is ensnared in a corruption scandal and forced to resign. a leaked document called into question the world chemical weapons to conclusions about an alleged chemical attack on the outskirts of the syrian capital last year. and rubs in the us after the state of alabama passes the country's most draconian abortion laws. you need to make the choice to bill you make a choice if you don't have that ability it's not going to work why don't like some of the comments. made about women and i also have respect for life.

it's 11 o'clock here in moscow watching r t international line from last year with me into welcome to the program. chancellor sebastian coe crusted snap elections after his 2nd in command was caught in a corruption sting and forced to resign thousands of people have been protesting outside the parliament building in vienna calling for a new government in the wake of the scandal on friday undercover video was released showing heinze christian straka offering lucrative public contracts to a woman posing as the niece of professional akaka in exchange for political support despite having described his behavior is stupid and irresponsible the former vice chancellor is sort of to try himself as the victim of an illegal hit job. this is probably yes it was stupid yes it was a responsible yes it was

a mistake but at the same time it was a victim of a targeted political attack reviews through legal means so after talks with the chancellor sebastian courts i made the decision to resign from the post of 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 dennis were shown cutting a back room deal with a woman claiming to be the niece of a russian all of 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's. 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 reg 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 so what we're seeing here are some big changes in the political landscape in austria. a political scientist at the university of vienna predicts the corruption scandal will deal major blow to the freedom party and its european affiliates no matter what. it was this. is. likely to always curious well. distancing himself. so if. he does. these most of them say that's not what. the u.s. has strengthened its fleet in the persian gulf by sending 2 more of its guided missile

destroyers to the region the ships apparently passed without incident in the home of strait and join the other warships antone this month is currently growing tensions between the u.s. and iran with washington accusing its adverse tree of planning to attack american interests polyploid its online series in case you missed it has its own unique take on the situation. in case you missed it u.s. forces are on the move into becoming the rod and hold on a 2nd is this a game of thrones i say it. is just that this stuff in the middle east is really important. but honestly it would be stupid enough to compare something as serious as this to 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. t. golden head donald trump darien is the owner of thousands of the dragons 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 one species dead now trump carians forces are gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his eye and feet and popped one of those 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 whole list stuff here tonight john bolton says using the intelligence indicating

that the iran distance is all planning attacks against trump garrion forces there your poll is 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 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 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 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 have. staying with the game of thrones theme of the much anticipated finale to the epic fantasy t.v. c.v.t.

as on sunday night and according to one study as many as 5000000 people in the u.s. could be set to skip work the following day meanwhile the actor who plays the ramsey bolton in the show has been on an adventure of his own with his 1st trip to russia he's been talking to danielle hawkins although be where spoiler alert if you're not up to speed give a wonder what would have happened ramsey if you had the sort of grisly end in season 6 yeah i don't 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 dragon was but i don't think the way the narrative of the show's played out it would have been as good with ramsey there 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. jon snow obviously because what else are you going to do just use in so many awful things

that you just you know who'd just been archived 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 interesting playing those sorts of rules i've never been romeo you know i mean in. so i guess on. 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 but the hype surrounding that that always a i haven't seen could ask you what's this eerie so let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of somalia 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 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 coming i'm very interested to see the scene between. little of the author 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 in. document has raised questions about the global chemical weapons washtubs report on the deadly attack in syria last year the incident took place in the city of doomer

10 kilometers from the syrian capital as the government forces advanced towards opposition militants who occupied the area is a brief reminder of how the situation unfolded back then. immediately document appears to be at odds with the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion issued more than 2 months ago that report claimed that cylinders probably containing chlorine were dropped from the air on the city of duma western governments use those findings to blame the syrian government for the attack however the document reportedly written by an affiliated expert says it's unlikely the 2 cylinders were dropped from an aircraft it claims rather that they

were placed there manually our senior correspondent has 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 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 7 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 for answers sooner or later professor peers robinson who assessed the document for a british academic research group says the weapons watchdog has to interests whether there is a cover up going on and put it in a 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 the best up members have been involved in producing and to rely on 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 have proper investigation into the o.p.c. w. and how it has been operating because if it is the case that this 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 that division in the last hour the lawmakers and alabama path the nation's toughest a partial as i'll take the parts after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic probably the only really. i don't see a. very critical time to sit down and. i am reluctant to give credit to the president trying for just about anything but by action in a way when he said at the beginning of his presidency that he'd be open to work. on

whatever these rising of calvin's going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say given the legacy of american support for israel you expansion essentially over the decades given the kind of political culture and political system that israel has developed there really isn't. a negotiated something between palestinians and israelis. welcome back to the program this week the u.s. state of alabama approved a new abortion or 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 when a similar heartbeat bill was signed. this month. has the story. 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 anti abortion

states i think if a woman doesn't want to have an admission to 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 worship 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. well i

was outraged i think anyone who cares about the unborn 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 boyko new york virginia new mexico and all the other insane states that do 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 this is 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 think there is a point where we need to be more mindful of when 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 it could go all the way up to the supreme court again caleb up an artsy new york. song contest is currently underway in the greater israeli city of tel aviv with 26 singers competing to be crowned champion you can see on your screen now live pictures of the vision with hands of what the show is the 64th. time and the 1st time it's being held in israel this year the netherlands sweden france and russia all the way among the things. it's not been without controversy.

there have been protests and calls for a boycott of the competition rights advocates argue the event is being used to whitewash and distract from crimes committed by israel in the occupied palestinian territories. sunny's for now be back around 30 minutes with more world updates to stay with us.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to signal from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football narvi or else you can think i was going to do. by the way ways of the flying here. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final clearing go around the
