broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international and john thomas glad to have you with us and the chancellor of austria sebastian kurtz has requested an early election after his 2nd in command was caught in a corruption sting and forced to resign. after yesterday's video i can honestly say enough is enough for post the president today to hold snap elections in austria as soon as possible. well thousands of people protested outside parliament in vienna on saturday calling for a new government on friday undercover video was released showing heinze christian struck offering lucrative public contracts to a woman posing as the niece of a russian tycoon in exchange for political support the vice chancellor resigned but claimed to be the victim of an illegal hit shop.

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 have used illegal means so after talks with the chancellor sebastian court 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 go 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

. it is. he's. getting he's. now stretch apologized for what he said today said he discredited people with his actions said he was dumb and barest 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 good in this 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 so what we're seeing here are some big changes in the political landscape in austria it political scientist at the university of vienna told us the corruption scandal will deal a major blow to the freedom party ahead of the european elections. damage. that is. likely to almost 2 years where. their image. distancing himself. so even. as. most of them it's not.

the u.s. has strengthened its fleet in the persian gulf by sending 2 more of its guided missile destroyers to the region vessels passed through the hormuz strait and joined the other warships sent earlier this month this comes after the u.s. accused iran of planning to attack american interests are boyko gives her a unique take on the situation in her online series 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 episode. is just that the stuff in the middle east is really important to the good of those roads but honestly who 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 golden head donald trump variant is the owner of thousands of old dragons dragons are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok ito isn't 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 guerin's forces are gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his ion fleet 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 to you may be confused by that part of the whole list that here tonight john bolton says he's seen 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 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 use. 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 haven't heard. and staying with the game of thrones theme and the much anticipated finale to the epic fantasy t.v.

series airs on sunday night and according to one study as many as 5000000 people in the u.s. are planning to skip work the following day meanwhile the actor who plays ramsay bolton in the show has been on the adventure of his own with his 1st trip to russia spoke with daniel hawkins and we need to warn you that the following interview contains spoilers. give a wonder what happens ramsey if you add in the sort of grisly and in season 6 yeah i don't know. how we would have felt but the nearest i think it probably would have been. in the 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 stocks 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 he just is in so many

awful things that he just you know who'd just been a 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 roles of never being romeo you know i mean in. so i guess on. to 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 no getting away from a game of thrones is that is the big thing right now that the hype surrounding that . could also use that what's that this is a let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of i think one of the

great things about it is it just doesn't matter what people could sit around and discuss in and have all these ideas in or 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 lost. so i don't know if she's but i kind of saw upcoming i'm very interested to see the scene between. you going to miss it all off to author it goes away something is epic as that which is you know really. defined you at least in the last couple of years as a 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. i had a lead to 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 10

kilometers from the syrian capital as government forces advanced to towards opposition militants who had occupied the area here's a brief reminder of how that situation unfolded back then. the newly lead to document appears to contradict the o.p.c. w.'s official conclusion issued more than 2 months ago that report claimed that cylinders probably containing chlorine gas were dropped from the air on the city of duma western governments used those findings to blame the syrian government for that attack. however the document reportedly written by an affiliated expert says

it is unlikely the 2 soldiers were dropped from an aircraft it claims instead that they were placed there manually our correspondent but i've got it 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 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 at 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 dents 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 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 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 for answers sooner or later. professor pierce robinson who assessed the document for a british academic research group says the weapons watchdog has to address whether there is a cover up going on of the duma report. what kind of political pressure might have been brought to bear on your p.c. w to lead didn't 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 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 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 whole number of reasons quite aside from the fact that 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 easy w.b. not creating uncritically an investigation to try to understand what has been happening in syria in relation to all of these events need allegations regarding

chemical weapons attacks the state of alabama has passed in the strictest anti-abortion law in the us that story much more after a break this is art international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic to follow only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. 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. a solution whatever these rising balloting is going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say given the legacy of american support for israel the expansion essentially over the decades given the kind of political culture and political system that israel has developed there really isn't a way to negotiate something between palestinians and israelis. are welcome back this is our international we have some fun news for the netherlands have been crowned euro vision winners for the 1st time since 1905 the 200-1000 song contest wound up about an hour ago dutch singer duncan lawrence won over the jury when viewers with his ballad arcade scored $492.00 points italy were

the runners up with $465.00 points and then russia took 3rd place with 369 it was the 64th annual song contest and it took place in the israel. city of tel aviv thousands of people watched the show on the euro vision village and millions more around the world. and this year's event was overshadowed by some controversy there were protests and calls for a boycott of the competition rights advocates argued that the event was being used to distract from crimes committed by israel in the occupied palestinian territories . different gear now this week in 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 and even punishes doctors with up to 99 years in prison while a similar heartbeat bill was signed in neighboring georgia earlier this month has.

alabama and georgia have passed their widely decried heartbeat bill 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 take 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 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'm saying if a woman doesn't want to have to have been there to have the option to be decided as a mayor here in the seventy's through versus wade. because women were still going to worship just one state 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 i 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 or

a strong majority agrees with it were it reflects that communities values well i was rigid so 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 boy 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 good news 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 have 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 my. and 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 does it for me i'll be back at the top of the hour with more news you are watching our team in trash 1. what is it calling the coin is magic internet a new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm

other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. though . those who they are supporting craft and they have they don't care about me or they don't care about the stability of libya the only thing the cure 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 for a long time. i
