didn't danger's a report claims hundreds of household items sold in the e.u. could contain harmful chemicals. syrian army positions are targeted by jihadism and would provinces use tanks and explosive vehicles get a simple rebranding exercise is apparently absolve them in the west i say. 5 more years of the world's biggest election sees the incumbent prime minister and then another term and india we look at whether the perceived eliteness of his closest rival proved a turnoff to voters. you're

watching our chief international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 7 pm welcome to the program. hundreds of european companies have been flooding the market for years with items containing potentially harmful chemicals that's according to germany's largest environmental charity it's released a study warning that consumers across the block could be unwittingly harming their health by using any of hundreds of popular everyday products the most dangerous item singled out however fall under the category of industrial substances which can cause genetic defects and cancer more commonly used products noted in the study include furniture toys and clothes which it's claimed can put unborn children at risk while certain cosmetic and personal products are said to cost serious iron taishan and dizziness $654.00 companies were named culpable most of them german british or dutch big names like exxon mobil and bear are on the list charlotte

devinsky picks up the story. when it comes to using hazardous chemicals at home we're told to wear gloves and to rinse immediately if your skin comes into contact with the product but according to a new report by environmental lobby group food and european consumers face exposure on a day basis and we don't even know about it as consumers we are kept in the dark not knowing if every day products are safe or not ranging clothes shoes and makeup even children's toys borne says these potentially harmful chemicals a widely being sold to manufacturers of household goods without having being properly vetted it says some of these chemicals could cause a range of health problems from cancer to bring disorders were still with your pink

chemical agency we see a.j. is accused of trying to sweep this scandal under the rug. has said in this problem for years we see the agency moving in the right direction by why all the secrecy the very foundation of e.u. chemical safety rules are being ignored bund revealed the top of the iceberg now it's on the to tell us the rest of this investigation shows around $650.00 companies and many households brands of breaking the law by failing to perform the required safety checks that are mandated by the e.c. ha's main safety regulation this includes some brands which are already making the headlines amidst major health scandals we have done and i'm a lot of work but that work i clearly and totally subscribe to is not sufficient and not enough. but we have looked at $700.00 substances up until now of those

$702.00 thirds end up needing further data bund says that. it's not enough i miss the morning that the e.u. and national authorities raise their game in a bid to ensure the products we use are simply just say beans show that even ski coffee having. r.t. asked a number of the companies accused of wrongdoing to comment on the claims both c f i c and hangal have responded saying that while they comply with all safety regulations they're committed to improving where possible they're going to hire who has an environmental n.g.o.s told us he believes the study only scratches the surface of the problem i think there is a big possibility that behalf knocking the coals on the market who have not sufficiently been checked we house nokia information which chemicals we have no clear information which ones have been sufficiently checked the only thing that we can know it's safe for sure is that the system doesn't work properly we have to can

because. apparently not sufficiently controlled and that is a potentially a big danger so all the information because it was. basically sureness deficit so it's fossil complete. and this is playing with the lives of people. meanwhile activists have stormed the paris h.q. of pharmaceuticals giant bayer which was mentioned in the study they staged a protest against the health and environmental dangers posed by some of the products of bears daughter company months santo the risks surrounding the months and to weed killer roundup were brought into the spotlight recently when a california court order the firm to pay a record $2000000000.00 in damages that sum to a couple suffering from cancer which they successfully argued have been caused by the herbicide and back in france a court ruled that the company was liable for the success of a farmer would use a month and a weed killer despite the rulings monsanto and bear insist that their products are

safe i think that health regulators worldwide agree. now islamic state may have been all but routed out from syria but you harvest are still wreaking havoc in the country the latest incarnation of what was the al nusra front has attacked syrian army positions in northern province the last rebel stronghold in the country but by rebranding the extremists appear to have fooled some in the west as he explains. this late in the civil war by any measure this offensive was huge he had to do that shower more h.g.'s widely viewed as al qaeda is winning in syria nusra front fielded hundreds of jihad for this offensive according to russian intelligence 30 pick up trucks equipped with various guns 7 tanks 4 a.p.c.'s to jihad no bills or

vehicles packed with explosives and driven by suicide bombers as i said a huge offensive aimed at taking a government held town and the border. according to the russian come on the syrians held out against 3 waves the jihad the stews in more than $100.00 fighters for tanks most of their pickup trucks also reportedly launched missiles at the russian airbase in may mean though those that got close were shot down un security council is none too pleased russia and the regimes decision to launch air strikes sends a terrible signal of disregard toward the u.n.

political process russia has claimed this so called return it she strikes 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. we refuse to consider terrorists as untouchable and will continue to fight them despite the objections of some of our partners united states reader it's that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize. the region we must do we have our own view on who is destabilizing the region. both sides blame each other for this latest escalation fighting had been building up escalating for days now and as often happens in the rebels' jihad this uprising fall saying as sads gassing them we continue to see signs that the assad regime may be renewing its use of chemical

weapons the regime's attacks against the communities of northwest syria must end remarkably nowhere in their press statement does the us mention al qaida no age c.s. denies any affiliation they were branded change their name from nusra front but that is seen as a rule to avoid harsh as scrutiny nothing is changed in their behavior still executing infidels fielding suicide bombers so imagine our surprise when we did some digging and found that the initial source of these chemical attack allegations which so concerned the us initial source was h.t.s. looser front al qaida worth noting though is that the u.s. is saying they can't verify anything bombing attacks which have been indiscriminate in very vicious have sent some 152200000 people in it most of whom are already

internally displaced people to move again to temporary housing and create a huge burden on our very broad humanitarian effort that we in the internet rest of the international community are making so we're watching this very closely also the reports of chemical weapons use so far we cannot confirm it but we are watching it it's an interesting situation the u.s. europe allies spending billions infiltrating bombing fighting isis al qaida in afghanistan. in iraq in somalia or the middle east yet in syria's. biggest stronghold taking their side if in directly demanding that the syrian government leave them alone taking seriously their claims and statements about chemical weapons as i say remarkable terrorism specialist jennifer braden says damascus should go on the offensive and.

it's not going to be possible to to fight terrorism without going to the terrorist strongholds and that's absolutely necessary we're talking about a group h.t.s. which is an offshoot of al knows or a link to al qaeda so this is a very serious terrorist organization and it's also a terrorist organization that's in a place with a very large civilian population most of these civilians have been displaced or internally displaced because of the war because of other terrorist organizations and so it's crucial that this area be targeted to to undermine these terrorists i think that the concern is whether chemical weapons have been used or whether there have been any such use of chemical weapons because of the large civilian population that has also been terrorized by the strong hold that allen has or offshoot h.t.s. has on this area. the world's biggest election in india is drawing to an end with the incumbent prime a certain securing another term the pm has been celebrating his victory with

supporters india has around 900000000 eligible voters over 600000000 cast their ballots modi's main opponent rahul gandhi has conceded defeat. looks at why gandhi the candidate of the elite failed to make inroads. how to look at this simple guy modi as a child the prime minister helped his dad sell t. out a railway station ever heard of the caste system in india well his was officially classed as backwards there was even a t.v. show called the journey of the common man showing his tough life path.

now let's compare that to opposition leader who gandhi's background his father was a prime minister preceded by guess who his grandmother his great grandfather was the founder of modern india and what matter the ukase super the cambridge university how's that for a contrast. not seen as a serious challenger to mr not in the mold because dynasty is not it doesn't appeal to the young people in the country anymore if you contrast that dynasty of. gandhi let's see that the prime minister noted. who actually has risen from the bottom he comes from the very poor section of society he comes from a cost which is known although back would cause. so given the fact that there is

a lot of appeal for people coming from the very bottom and rising i think died on. you know the dynasty of congress and the calmness of almost believed it for the last almost 70 years it has completely lost its of the. year on year it's becoming clear politicians all around the world should have realised being a part of the elite is now out of fashion shall i remind you of what's been going on with the people's voting habits everywhere lately. i want you to imagine how much better our future can be if we did play or independence from the elites who lead us from one financial and foreign policy disaster to another. they don't know people what. to do here to. me talking about the.

abuse. i'm. taking a bunch of days. but he main task is to bring into the politics of our country a completely new people fresh decent people who actually care. what if government hopefuls will begin misplacing their background stressed like some do with parts of their tax returns. from on this across lived down to dr charley a professor and dean at the general school of international affairs so a landslide victory for modi did you ever expect anything else. no you know there's not going to do it's the tina factor and there's just you know it's

a so mom or as it's been called you know normal is not in them or the and the prefixes tsunami i think it was kind of even 2000 fold even know they're calling it a tsunami i think yeah you're right this is just no opposition what any kind of competition to him what in domes of his you know personal you know abilities and skills and image as a very upright and on his stand as you mentioned somebody who comes from where the bottom of the society and his work his way are but also you know his party the mobilization machine the financing i think has really proven that here it's really easy you know i just cannot that is unstoppable there when you know there was a lot of funded pre before the elections claiming that they're losing their grip and that they want to struggle and that it is going to be a tight finish but the results of a landslide for mr moore these party and i think essentially we chose of the people

of india continue to believe and invest their hopes for india's rise and for upward mobility and for economic growth and to become a great poet in world politics all of this you know he has to move these the carrying of the hopes of the people of india and he has consistently believe word and i think that promises there are still grabs us to be kept but the people of india saying you know you need 5 more years at least and view everything to give you that now the indian national congress seems to dominate politics in the country what's changed. i think the dynastic principle on the basis of it you know grandson and then grand have been taking over from the previous generation and running it in a monarchical fashion you know it's like you hit it 3. you know dictatorship or within control by a very small. group of your family members so i think the people of india believe

more and more in marriage and in you know students that is that word through talent and hard work and exertion like mr morley not bursted a safe word by you know being born with a silver spoon and this deflects the change in india also mr moore the has been campaigning throughout this year talking about the 21st century india and how he's saying the order of values in the part of the congress is to also stand up for you know minority groups and you know champion their rights and also workers' rights but those all fellow because it all became a both the family and you know plans and its future rather than the broader sections of society that they should have appealed to so in fact this election it was not more the orses are all gone they are more there was in the congress it was actually more the words of some regional parties in different states of the country so that is actually not national opposition party what to its name anymore and they have to blame themselves for it because they lost sight of the needs of the

changing times and of the changing indian voter psyche dr charlie a professor and dean at the general school of international affairs thank you for joining us on the program today more news after this short break. 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 suppressing and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about

football not the or else you can sink i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. financial survival guide i don't buy any i honestly. think the final that's less about my ex from the future tracker watch guys. welcome back turkey is refusing to back down over its decision to buy the russian made s. $400.00 missile defense system that's despite washington threatening its nato ally with sanctions if it falls through with the multibillion dollar deal made back in 2017 which some personnel to russia for as 400 training that will begin in the

coming days and will spend the following months. the news of turkey reaffirming its commitment to the deal comes after the u.s. reportedly issued an ultimatum saying ankara must turn its back on the s 400 by june in favor of a u.s. made alternative if it more in that turkey would otherwise face repercussions from nato it's not the 1st time washington sought to pressure its ally of the agreement with russia turkey must choose its potential acquisition. of the poor 100 will result in a reassessment of churches participation in the f. $35.00 program those who want to remain a critical partner the most successful military alliance in the history of the world we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us for hundreds of potential sanctions or doesn't want to risk the security of the partnership. washington has cited the asked for hundreds in

compatibility with nato technology as the reason for its opposition it has also said there is a risk russia could gather sensitive information about the u.s. made f. 35 fighter jets which turkey has in its air force now turkey has consistently defended the deal saying that its neighbor greece has an older model of the s 400 and it's not face any blowback from the u.s. signed back in december of 2017 the price tag on the s $400.00 is 2 and a half $1000000000.00 that's around half the price of the u.s. alternative the 1st batch is due to be delivered early this summer both china and india have also signed up for the s 400 former turkish ambassador to the u.s. oh osman for a logo says washington's rhetoric of ultimatums is simply not conductive to cooperation. i think that the propensity. for the u.s. administration and now the congress to impose sanctions on

anything that they don't like. is a very unfortunate we have seen this in the case of iran and now try telling us sanctions. on countries that purchases $400.00. is in my judgment a lawful and necessary goal for i think. america. making its products and moshe technology more price competitive done that trying to or that forcing countries. to make choices. and lashing him to the imposition of tension and sometimes it's wrong it's all lawful but surely. a new report has revealed that since january u.s. democrats have splashed twice the cash as donald trump on online ads yet at the same time they have been very vocal about rejecting big bucks from lobbyists when

it comes to funding their 2020 presidential campaigns held up and delved deeper. from left wingers like bernie sanders to centrists like joe biden and tamala harris democrats are expressing a unified message of discussed about money and politics i mean i sat with bernie i'm the guy that told them you should accept any money from a super pac because people can't possibly trust you how a middle class guy except if you except so i've actually made a decision since i had that conversation then i'm not going to accept corporate pac checks but i think most americans actually agree that we need to get money out of politics pete boogy has promised to give back the money he received from corporations kemal harris has made similar statements but here's the thing perhaps they don't get direct funding from corporations but they have a cozy relationship with super pacs those are political action committees that are not legally required to disclose their donors let's not forget joe biden's wisdom from a few years back lobbyist are bad people special interest groups are not bad people

but guess what they're corrosive. people who accept money from them or bad people but it's human nature while it may not be being broadcast on prime time television but many top democrats have a very close relationship with big financial interests take amala harris for example she has a super pac of her own that is very close with the bank known as citigroup and get tamlyn the banks managing director even hosted a fundraiser for camilla harris at his apartment as a gesture of friendship to molly even shook hands with his dog pete booed as she has been hanging out with charles meyer the wall street banking exactly 2 of them have been munching on deli sandwiches kirsten gillibrand seems to be particularly close to big pharma she's already had a fundraiser at the home of a pfizer exec and at this point mark last 3 the wall street money manager is boasting that he's already met with 10 different democratic candidates at the end

of the day candidates need money. the past there was no candidates who didn't come to new york chicago for money today there are 2 candidates who aren't doing that elizabeth warren and bernie some does yes when the cameras are rolling the democrats want to fight against wall street and stand up for that forgotten american middle class however behind closed doors they want to get particularly cozy with the big daddies of american finance capital and in the age of social media that's a lot harder to conceal well this goes to show you yet again the breathtaking incoherence of the democratic message keep in mind that many of these vote many if not all are very very wealthy and when you hear people who decry you and rail against big money and we're finding out how they're tapping into silicon valley wall street banks the big money the big money people

it goes to show you that they're just like everybody else i just can choose to lovable progressive liberal trying to get by with a paucity of funds and end if you can help me as we as we fight corporate industrial greed made while behind the scenes there on the phone saying listen can you. hit me with you 1xw5w and 20000000 help me anybody else take your money they're no better or no worse than anybody else to politicians. that's our global news breakdown for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not neil harvey will be taking over in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in and wherever you may be.

i'll leave answering an era the end of flag money no money with flags on it or part of an open tate or royal person could make. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lens i'm normally off limits to the public eric's allowed in because he's this is personal. the. people here know him simply as don't to eric he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that. was on. his own. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. that's happening amazon. allergies so says going out of the busy doing

nothing is going to do the population much because he's going to people from mama's own. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy glue foundation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit. greetings and sal you take us in the dirty sink that is the current state of united

states foreign policy it appears hawk watchers that write in time for summer we've added yet another big dish of potential conflict to our already rising pile of potential conflict dishes smellie said this week the u.s. state department announced that the syrian government may allegedly be using chemical weapons once again as it attempts to recap recapture it lead the last outpost of rebel in terrorist groups the country's been fighting since march of 2011 u.s. state department spokeswoman morgan ortega's told the media quote we are still gathering information on this incident but we repeat our warning that if the assad regime uses chemical weapons the united states and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately she was then quick to add that assad's regime has culpability in horrific chemical weapons attacks is undeniable is that though this is undeniable you speak of i say this because just last.
