as westminster debates war crimes immunity the director of the new film unquiet graves on a british intelligence plot for a massacre at a catholic primary school bustle the headlines we reveal the weapons have been stuck in an italian dock on the whistleblower stuck in an american dollar some more coming up in today's going underground but 1st straight to evidence of britain last year violating article 2 of the u.n. charter the attack started at about 2 o'clock this morning u.k. time targeting 3 sites a base outside damascus thought to be involved in the production of chemical and biological weapons and 2 sites near homes a command bunker and a chemical weapons stockpile except of course syria denied ever having chemical weapons the media along with m.p.'s from both main parties in the supported bombing the s.n.p. liberal democrats implied comrie were opposed to m.p.'s from the new change you k. party supported bombing the greens wanted defacto economic warfare and a crackdown on russia but what if there was no syrian chemical weapons attack what

if it was a fabrication as catastrophic as that by tony blair in iraq u.k. journalists arguably have short memories and didn't question more here is one suggesting that the labor m.p. support for war was a leadership bid to presumably because war is popular in our democracy at the moment over this issue is certain is far as the labor party is concerned he's a complete shambles as i suggested to the labor party leader do you still genuinely have total confidence in him and in the end is all this about nursing your own leadership positions it certainly is not that and i do have total confidence in jeremy and i fundamentally disagree with what you've just said about the labor party because jeremy decided i really welcome it that we would have a free vote why did you do that that takes strength and courage as a leader you know yes that was a labor m.p. selling war on syria and celebrating jeremy corbin's decision to give a free vote and here is the woman whose policy hillary been supported justifying aria. bombing let me set out why we have taken this action. last

saturday up to 75 people including young children were killed in a despicable and barbaric attack in duma but was syria responsible for the duma attack just as mainstream journalists didn't cover saturday's israeli your revision bombing of syria they didn't appear to recall this from britain's former ambassador to syria a year before duma. very likely an operation similar to what documents by the united nations. mounted a chlorine gas attack on civilians and they try to make it look like a regime operation mark my word. and it will happen and when it arguably did happen britain's former ambassador was told by a u.k. statement dated journalists to move beyond facts let's move let's move on from fenn

whether this is fact or no let's let's say evidence has been found to praise the president to sat what's behind this attack well here's some real evidence unclassified o.p.c. w. sensitive do not circulate engineering assessment of 2 cylinders observed at the duma incident the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons is acknowledged that a leaked document published by the working group on syria propaganda and media is real it appears to suggest a british fake justification to attack syria today the u.k. stands defeated in syria and the nations that helped defeat britain russia china turkey and iran and now all in the news russia stands accused of killing a british subject on sturgis in a chemical attack even though a source inside the u.k. police just admitted that some of the details don't add up as for china the u.s. and google are arguably trying to take down while away turkey is being threatened with u.s. sanctions in iran joining me now from princeton new jersey is ambassador said her samer savia who negotiated the jays e.p.o. a nuke. the deal violated by president of trump ambassador welcome back to going

underground well i have to begin with what you thought of the trump warning to iran not to threaten the united states on pain of annihilation of the islamic republic what are you see during president trump i have never seen such a conflict in confusing a strategy. from the u.s. side in regard to iran it is very clear from one side president trump. is not in the same page with his key advisers and key decision makers presumably rouhani yourself as an iranian nuclear negotiator who knows read the art of the deal about all trump is not exactly this kind of strategy confused conflict the minds of those he's negotiating with he has himself also does not have a killer year strategy or policy on iran very meek saying signals

statements confusing signals the statements from one side he said you know what i need the iranians to call me b.c. to get there and they lay there he says you know threatening iran with a war as he said which would be the off in the iran and iran wiping your on off the map therefore we are facing a president which really does not know what he wants a multi-role or he does or president rouhani who didn't respond by making that phone call he does do exactly what he wants is just the iranians and some members of the international community do it i've got to ask you britain is now threatening iran not to pull out of the agreement that you negotiated helped to negotiate to pull out of the nuclear deal in response to president james violation of the deal so what is britain is britain. 1st silence from the 1st he started to get

a $1000000000.00 the british foreign minister should understand fest. the u.k. shrewd comply with its commitments within the nuclear deal the u.k. has totally fate therefore fair's believe are your commitments then put a condition between all signatories of iran nuclear deal the us has completely violated we draw from the d y elated that the united nations security council the europeans including u.k. they have failed to deliver a clear commitments for normal trade and business with iran for 2 years only iran has fully complied with every commitment of the nuclear deal therefore europeans before everything before threaten india iran should say why they have not

implemented the deal for 2 years why they have not complied with the signature commitments within the nuclear deal before threatening iran you presumably came under some personal attack as other ring in nuclear negotiators did for the jays e.p.o. a deal regardless of as you say monitors saying that iran is clearly abiding by the terms other powers are not why are you negotiate ing with the united states when as you said the m e k it was a terrorist organization now its terrorist ban is lifted here in the european union as well as the us they were allied to john mccain john bolton trumps president lawyer rudy giuliani why why did you trust the united states at any point negotiation doesn't mean trust negotiation is just a way to resolve the differences not to reach to a complete trust by one deal well clearly there are people who support this old.

does not support your contention that he did a baby the deal and surely now where does it you ation after this tweet after as you say the national security adviser john bolton body what he's been saying i mean aren't all that how many is it that it's an islamic to have nuclear weapons which are other you saw what happened to libya when it gave up nuclear weapons that it actually had or a nuclear program that actually had the iranian government really living the don't have a program how can iran possibly defend itself against the united states and who knows who in nato little britain iran has resisted the us pressures sanctions square's runes economic war political war intelligence war even the us joined saddam hussein attacking iran the us attacked their oil infrastructures in persian war iranian oil infrastructures tankers everything but iran has been successful to resist the us for 40 years without nuclear bomb. one

second the u.s. policy has been based on pressures sanctions to weaken iran to our easily to iran but today the us is facing the reality that iran if not the most powerful stable country in the region is one of the most powerful influential stable countries in the region therefore iran has achieved all these without nuclear bomb that's why iran i believe would be able to continue with the same capacity and policy and the strategy well there's a massive show of strength by the united states right now in the persian gulf and headed to the persian gulf when you were negotiating the iranian nuclear deal presumably you were balancing to what extent in the negotiations were most because they were beijing's a little in washington do you think moscow and beijing need to learn the lessons of

being too quiet about support for international law the lessons of the libya war when it comes to this current violation of the agreement you helped negotiate between iran and the people as i was well no i think compared to other 5 plus one members russia and china they have been more sincere for implementing the europeans politically they are supporting the deal like russia and china but they have failures in compliance in practical terms i believe russia and china they have been really more scenes and transparent on implementing the deal in practical steps however still we have failures from russia and china for full compliance the details and conditions of the nuclear deal however it is good no international community to ward public opinion they can really understand. and for

the 1st time between iran and the u.s. and the war powers there was an awful leg remained on one of the most disputed issues iran nuclear program and it agreed iran fully complied fully believe and the us europeans specifically and in general all 5 powers they have failed to deliver their commitments therefore for international community now it is clear iran which accepted transparency measures more than every any other country is not after nuclear bomb however if president trump is going to kill the nuclear deal in order to reach an order the order in order to capital it iran or to bring regime change in iran or to to to have a broader package of the negotiation and deal with iran i don't believe such

a strategy president from conflicting strategy bullinger strategy. strategy a president trump is following at the current currently i don't believe iranians would ever be ready to negotiate with such administration except if presidents from changes it is a strategy comply with the nuclear deal approved by united nations security council and then respect iran. respect the principles of mutual respect and non interference then i believe there will be a chance numbers or thank you after the road by you case soldiers to have war crimes immunity from ulster to iraq as politicians this week debate we investigate an alleged british intelligence plot for a massacre at a catholic primary school and from the headlines colors trying to the caribbean and the atomic coffin in the central pacific all the ball going over but you have going

underground. petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's a vital issues. special forum coverage on r.t. . are china in the u.s. in training endgame the battle lines have been drawn and demands made in this trade war it appears both sides are preparing for the long haul what does it mean to win a trade war what does it mean to lose and how far could this.

really there's not much happening in the global economy as a result of the u.s. so called trade war just to put things in perspective you know most things that are exported from china see united states or exported as finished products the same holds true for most things exported from the u.s. to china so any tariffs on those products while they might affect price levels in the u.s. or in china and they might affect the level of trade between the u.s. and china they simply don't destroy the global supply chain so the rest of the world is hardly affected at all. welcome back join me now because you something week's top stories are shadows secular state for northern ireland for nearly a decade then be lembit welcome back i know you do a show on a rival channel press t.v. band in this country is it true the u.s. is abraham lincoln is going to the persian gulf to attack your shoe maybe not

actually my show but it's quite flattering to think that not just a rainy unspent americans might be watching it but it's a. little bit open because you're not a much more serious issue of what's happening in the middle east with iran in this with the morning's money so interesting story this time in. the congo headed to saudi arabia top line here saudi arabia is buying tongues from people like us the united kingdom who did export. billions to us. so we've been doing that it's. been using these weapons to tie. the not very wealthy neighbor called yemen one of the poorest countries in the world the dock strikers they have had enough of this so they've actually stopped a consignment from getting out from italy to go to saudi arabia so it's slightly successful at least it got to the morningstar believes italian dock strikers are actually doing something about the exports of weapons to help the situation mitigate against a situation where dens of millions of people are under threat arguably you have

a nuclear story here in popular mechanics to tell you the full story of the huge political implication problem a kind of spenser's the us is aging nuclear cough and is an ecological disaster waiting to happen now the research turned up here is because it hasn't done anything wrong at the picture you see there is as a result of a rather careless test that they did it was called council bravo it was meant to yield a certain amount of megatons but it actually exploded through twice the amount of megatons 15000000 tons of t.n.t. so that's a 1000 times stronger america isn't legally obliged to clean up any mess but that thing could be cracking that's why popular comics fire in the us is north and all the money they agree with they get it blow up islands in the pacific legally they don't have to clean up on this if a big storm comes and wrecks it or rising sea levels wrecks it america's going to be in a lot of bad political trouble because you're going to get radioactive waste it's

looking into the sea will it but not the little the people who live there the marshall islands are really poor americans could even make the gamble if the marshall islands in america end up in a court american just throw money at it now into another island in the western hemisphere though in haiti from the nations of the caribbean nation times dozens brutally killed raped and haiti massacre police say even young children were not spared as a part of port au prince which is the form of the collaborations that big massive lot of it's a slum and it looks like carrying warfare tough one. as there have led to the most appalling it is this one of the richest country in the world haiti in the 18th century colonialism and so on and obama and joe biden when he was vice president hillary clinton they prevented the popular leader teed from coming to this country to have so his supporters need to say support you know why he rose

that he might have actually asked us to give all the wealth back when we took it away when we left that's the thing we didn't leave much for the haitians what we've now got is a lawless place with children as young as 4 being raped with women being raped and banned i mean from wiki leaks we know that the obama administration was trying to stop the the real leader allegedly of this country it's just made why they were doing that as well because you could argue that x. made more trouble for themselves by messing with a democracy everybody that knows this happened maybe we don't know that so much and you can have both a few days i mean obviously the united states european union try to overthrow venezuela the e.u. there are reports of mercenaries trying to kill protesters in haiti the nickname the join of haiti what exactly is going on as regards he you in the u.s. policy and why are we not he told it's the usual thing they haven't got anything that we need anything they had that we've we brought back on the left again one of

the great just journals websites the in just sept in mint press yes now this is back to the future in a sense you remember today in a science you know julian assange spoke of a rerun of that and other whistleblower bites the dust as the instep odds a 3rd not to its barren invalid to its burn belt it's a good line in the intercept is viewed by the un as all around the world is thought of as a progressive publication exposing those in power that's a problem it exposes people in power and you know what they've got they've got. power so daniel hale who is the person who could be going behind bars potentially the same as genocide want to get to share a cell with 9 years of yes they say we're going to give him 10 years for a series of different crimes that they are alleging which adds up to 50 john kiriakou former cia whistleblower goes went to jail says serious question for the

intercept or we should say e-bay backs the money for his says do you secretly work for the f.b.i. . david hale reality winner and terry will be our all in prison because of you is it incompetence or are you compromised the fact is nobody really knows who's working for who here we know that hale was being paid by the state so it's undeniable he's not some kind of so no one is going to say the jeremy scahill exposed of the drone war and and glenn greenwald who although he's refused to come on this show that these people want to support a powerful against the bow and i think that's i think you're right about that it would be the one thing i learned when i was an m.p. is any complicated plan is going to fail because up there is far more effective than conspiracy theory lebed a big thank you. this week the u.k. parliament debated whether to give british soldiers immunity from prosecution for crimes in the north of ireland but with a new film exposing alleged british government involvement in a plan for

a massacre at a catholic primary school is the government initiative about concealment inclusion rather than justice joining me now is sean mari director of the new film quite grave thanks so much for coming on before we even get to the amazing film you've made your response to labor and tory defense officials some rowing back from labor appearing to promote immunity for u.k. soldiers for alleged war crimes this is this is the army there always has been i mean there's always been an almost a so where we called from the north of ireland and mix that a lot there's never been a single prosecution or a single sentence that's been served by a british soldier in the conflict so we do. oftentimes anyway whether it will happen are not of course that there will be only a british soldier that will hold a conference and that does require the 10 year amnesty or statute of limitations being discussed at the moment right now in parliament would mean in your film on quiet graves they'd all go school free for the $120.00 deaths in the triangle you depict $120.00 plus that that we don't know but and look are just this series of

killings they plan on killing but the court records there are mistakes. there's a broad consensus for the nytol as a that there should be no mistake that prosecutions should be taken against whoever was involved in any criminal mortars during the conflict whether that's still actors or non-state actors ok will the deal be got to raise the way and to. just go through what happened and beliefs in can't you know more what you've discovered about a catholic primary school and ironically have it was the paramilitary wing that may have saved the schoolchildren it well what happened in january at about the contacts to it so what happened wasn't for the january $976.00 the. it was 2 attacks on 2 catholic households and they tried to wait between family so you had the revie family and wade cross and come to your ma and you'd also be a family and there was 3 brothers killed another tack and also when you died family was 3 members of the old 6 catholics was killed in one night and want you to hug

and this is the modoc are going to fill up this is what we build up to is the next . town promise of what man killed and. it was attacked by our a members and kings monae we can debate whether they are a saxon that kellen or not but it was our a members that were involved in the killing of those innocent protestants and what happened that after not sorry was not the plan on going for the next act and this was military intelligence what they wanted to do was create something so serious that it would spill into civil war where they could have a global off approach to the area a conventional war against the outer it was a very very frustrating that the successful area taxes the pain particularly in this area so far ma they wanted to go when they plan on going to go in their catholic primary school and kill all the primary school children in the school and their teachers know there is a must strategy here as you say involving british involvement at the top

of the the british soldier kit i'm responsible for the malmo in kenya catastrophe just go through whatever you explain in the film these phrases poisoning the water and the inability to catch fish well the classic counterinsurgency strategy and the architect of course was frank kitson was to. do when it was it was. the it was the architect of what happened and can you with also with that we can relate back to malaya and what it was was to go into these communities so we take the north of ireland for example is the one. to say what you think would benefit you more and use the desk. was kind of the insurgency squads to target the other community and this is what happened in the north of ireland we had rate wing death squads loyalist paramilitaries which attacked and i sent catholics to remove support from the ara but of course balance because violence this doesn't happen and it wouldn't happen in any conflict you have people then running into the arms of

the ira because all these people are not people connected to the ira that the british security operators are murdering in the hope that they will somehow lose favor that the ira would lose favor gordon brown the former prime minister said a few years ago that the trouble should be compared to the fight against al qaida and what it would do you think you have british politicians talk about the troubles in that context because it goes labor and conservative bodies supported rendition. torture illegal war obviously in control orders for internment that we go back in this country in the 911 i think. and many ways i would have to agree with gordon brown i don't like when when when the conflict in our under the struggle in ireland is. is someone came to the ward al-qaeda but i agree with one thing that they learned an awful lot about the torture activities the activities of what on in the

north of ireland and they were able to continue their continuation of that of what happened then in afghanistan and iraq would have the irish government hiding it was just last week that we had the 45th anniversary of the dublin monaghan bombs where a 300 were injured and 33 dead initially reports were saying the ira very little reporting to this day anything about the dublin monaghan bones why where is the overhead because refusing to release secret files on those bombs well the american t r k which is a professor case that was carried out in 2004 still not been released this was challenged by justice for the forgotten. which is an advocacy group for the dublin mom and volunteer in your film which feature in the film and they lost that court appeal against the government what do you think their government is but i'm losing with the irish government and i must make an important point i think that the families of the men of the want to muddy the waters because the real information lags with the british government and they're currently taking

a case against the british government and the high court in belfast and i think that will galvanize than what happens with the irish government so it's an important point to make actually who obviously the u.v.'s ended up. claiming responsibility for that bomb but do you think there's any way they will find out what happened all i can do as a filmmaker is contend you to be an advocacy for the victims and survivors and try to teach the truth but there's not much public confidence in the british government ever ever releasing those documents better still i know that there are some documents have been used in my felony which have been redacted since i've seen them and garden so they're continuing style to you too since the film they rejected the sources saying those documents some of the more want to watch the films actually believe but your next film is going to be about the government says david kelley who told the famous source who said that the iraq war was justified in

a pack of lies. that's going to do that and really of course well you know we i think we're pretty confident about the the details that have been released around dr kelly's death are very very suspicious so i want to go into too much about the fellow obviously very very sensitive but i think there are issues there that they need to be dealt with and need to be. sure mari thank you and that's it for the show. the online forms from the 1st. day covering the bricks with the national general of india's ruling party representing millions in the biggest. social media. is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela
