the global chemical watchdog slams the leaks of 2 whistle blowers who questioned it's reported chemical attack on the syrian town of duma something the assad government has been blamed for we assess the inconsistency zanni contradictions in the latest comments body c.w. also to come danger in the skies of syria a passenger plane narrowly avoids being hit by a defenses reportedly fired in response to an israeli missile attack and britons to terminate and stop his getting automatic release from prison says it on a collision course with me over human rights please put the issue up at the back. these are people particularly when you. start applying it to people who are already

been convicted already been sentenced already so part of the sentence it's unfair potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people schuman like to be in there in the 1st place. well i welcome you with r.t. international now the international chemical watchdog the p.c. w. has lashed out at the leaks provided by 2 whistle blowers who did raise doubts over the bodies report into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian town and the incident has long been blamed on syrian government forces whether the latest comments. was only raised more questions than answers. expects. there are 2 types of investigation the 1st type is intended to find out and explain what went wrong the 2nd type of investigation is intended solely to cover your butt

and the u.p.c. w. let's you know what type of investigation they've done pretty early on the 1st 2 pages are dedicated to stressing how independent this report is. and dependence and objectivity and dependent independent dependent independent and then we find out that they were just kidding the boss nominated his deputy to explain how they were both innocent eidetic needed the deputy director general a senior investigating officer this is an investigation into 2 whistleblowers specter a and inspected b. and its intention is to show that they're bad people. whistleblower a was behind a study tran that these cylinders allegedly used in the duma a chemical attack were likely placed at the scene which he had no business doing in

fact according to this o.p.c. w. report inspects a new body inspector a was not a member of the fact finding mission inspector a played a minor supporting role in the investigation of the duma incident we then find out that the guy who was apparently just there to watch did a whole lot more he was in fact the head of the u.p.c. w.'s syrian command post he helped collect samples of the alleged chemical attack site also at the hospital he helped tag and sealed those all important cylinders they then asked him to invent a rise of the classified information collected on the cylinders and asked him to decide what else might be worth investigating it's right there they say so themselves also remarkable for someone who apparently wasn't even part of the team so he did as he was told inspector

a without authorization contacted companies via e-mail about conducting an engineering study on the cylinders but they did give him authorization here is where the report stops making any sense they gave him permission to conduct an authorized study it's nonsense u.p.c. w. tries to get around this by saying they didn't give him permission to share classified information so it's all unauthorized they also tried to dismiss the study by saying he had incomplete evidence somehow forgetting that one page ago they admitted to asking him to invent a rise the evidence they had on the cylinders in june 2800 inspector he was assigned to conduct an invention of the highly protected information collected on the cylinders. so they apparently lied he did have the relevant information that the u.p.c. w. had at the on those cylinders the evidence and he used that to carry out

a study but but they argue 6 months later after he left they may or may not have had additional information it was created through the misuse of incomplete confidential information by a staff member who had ceased to provide support to the f f m 6 months prior to the release of the final f f m report on duma which isn't in direct admission that he did have all the relevant information at the time in fact it was so relevant this report according to the u.p.c. w. that they all did it they lead it from archives they go on to explain why they did this apparently because inspectors a and b. not whistleblowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence allegedly this study otherwise known as a view and which apparently isn't backed by any evidence actually had classified

evidence in it and had to be stored in a special top security archive now we come to the icing the krrish do in this absurd story this study they never even looked at it. in the interests of transparency and completeness inspector a's assessment has been transmitted to the i-t. and will be examined by it into course which adds another layer of lies they previously claimed they examine and take into account all evidence and when alice but they didn't in this case this single highest profile report they never took seriously. and if you think they treated inspector be any more seriously than inspector 8 you're in for a surprise most of the duty and focus he reports on the instant the interim report and the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally regular and

possibly fraudulent inspected be end others raised concerns back in june 2018 according to this investigation those concerns were taken into account a month after hearing out all the inspectors and their concerns and their thoughts and their dreams the u.p.c. w. went ahead and excluded most of them from the investigation the point regarding the effort and in particular the young going do more work should be discussed with of of alpha it seem the least of team members was recently sent who not on that least should not be involved on the smetana courtesy of leaked e-mails posted by wiki leaks apparently the only team member who went to syria who was allowed to pitch into the final report was the team paramedic not the chemist inspected be nor the engineer inspected a when it comes to inspect a b that's what the u.p.c. w. doesn't mention that's interesting is allegations they never address what the

whistleblowers said of them by dismissing it as irrelevant and unauthorized not inspecting a whose report they apparently didn't even read nor inspected be whose main arguments about evidence suppression and bias at the u.p.c. w. they just ignored well not entirely. as could be expected their conclusions are a road this uninformed and wrong mission accomplished but covered and if you add the u.p.c. w watching this you may be saddened to learn that you are now going to have to attend mandatory classes on keeping your mouth shut and additional obligatory organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for all personnel employed by the secretary at this training will be accompanied by annual active stations where again as the of there will write and freelance journalist

that i could add to police at the a.b.c. w. is using every method its disposal to justify the same studies fairly sure that this is been labeled as a security breach just to attack the whistleblowers while i think they're in a very embarrassing situation where you know the reputation of the organization is that is a risk to admit these whistle blows. raised valid concerns about the evidence that they found in duma would be very damaging so i think they've gone on the offensive and try to discredit the people who have come forward mr henderson led the team that has to do more and in 2018 and he wrote his report that you know clearly stated that there was no evidence of chlorine use. and you know the beef found themselves in a situation where having to you know manager the ally essential narrative that is not congruent with the facts and you know this for us what you have to do when you

have to lie you have to kind of fudge the specifics to try and make it fit your case but unfortunately it doesn't work out so well. meanwhile a passenger plane carrying 172 people has been forced to make an emergency landing in syria that after it narrowly missed being hit by the country's air defenses which had reportedly been fired in response to an israeli air strike russia's defense ministry denounced israel claiming it had used civilian aircraft as a shield. only due to the time the actions of damascus airport dispatches and efficient operation of the automated traffic control system did the airbus a 320 manage to successfully land the closest alternative if eld russia's base i was on the streets when the attack happened here in damascus at about 1 12 am local time here on thursday on the sec's of this month at about $115.00 local

time a loud explosion was heard and that was the syrian air defenses trying to repel what looked like an israeli attack and then later on the syrian army command issued a statement clarifying what happened saying that israeli fighter jets carried out attacks from over southern lebanon on the occupied golan heights against various syrian army military targets in damascus around damascus damascus countryside and also pointed to and which is in that are countryside and the result according to the syrian army was the injury of 8 syrian soldiers and the russian ministry of defense statement which also gave some information important details that there were 4 actually israeli fighter jets who fired at least 8 missiles on various targets in syria at that time and that israel is using civilian and passenger aircraft in order to avoid being hit by the syrian air defense system combat

operations by the israeli joint stove involving the use of civilian aircraft to shield and prevent retaliation by syrian air defenses is becoming a distinguishing feature of the israeli air force this is a very important point especially that russian made it clear that this is not the 1st time that this happens it happened in 2018 when also russia criticized israel for endangering and putting in danger to passenger aircraft in 2018 of course 2008. the israeli strikes not coordinated with russia caused the downing of irrational aircraft with 15 russians on board who were killed were said that time also. said that israel is behind this incident but the 4th one is wrong because at the end of the day israeli fighter jets put actually the russian aircraft in the path of the syrian air defense. systems well israel has previously denied using

aircraft as she was against syrian defenses and so there has yet to comment on this particular incident it does though acknowledge that it is carrying actually trikes in syria to stop the raining military entrenchment as it calls it now this footage has captured the aftermath of the missile attacks that hit a suburb in the countryside west of damascus on you can see here residents clearing rubble from the streets cars and buildings have been completely destroyed we spoke to people living in the. we woke in the morning to find this look at this destruction may go take revenge from them look at this people's livelihood is destroyed as you can see yesterday the area was targeted by israel this area has a lot of car hire companies and as you can see many cars were damaged thank god the damage was only material aviation security advocate getting us told us why it is so difficult for civilian aircraft to avoid danger. clearly what happened was the when

the attacks by the israelis underway damascus 30 c. . and off the aircraft diverted them to the russian as we've seen recently from different there are different surface when the folks find out that there are not there is only one outcome in a military aircraft there are systems on board the aircraft there will detect the launch of the missile and suggest that countermeasures or even automatically act to record the missile countermeasures appropriate to the type of missile that's been launched at it equally but military aircraft of course it's very maneuverable and can take physical action as well as electronic another countermeasures i don't know one of those come with that kit it's certainly not standard equipment a civilian aircraft that's not how it you know limiting it to to a suppler system. the u.s.

a slap new sanctions on venezuela this time targeting the country's flag carrier. comes as washington or so threatened for the penalties on entertains with ties to venezuelan oil companies the sanctions were demands though by russia's foreign minister. holding talks in caracas with president nicolas maduro. we reiterate our solidarity towards venezuela and the venezuelan people in their fight against the united states but we denounce old methods such as blackmail illegal sanctions and the attempts to dictate the will of the people as well as the interference in internal state matter is. not in any own people there is no police here for imperialist that illegal sanctions and military intervention we again reiterate that we seek peace and as well it can tolerate sanctions and blackmail the latest round of u.s. sanctions target 40 aircraft event is why this national carrier that comes on top

of existing penalties on venezuelan state companies including the main oil company under the sanctions u.s. companies are barred from directly importing venezuelan crude and have seen financial transactions between the 2 countries severely restricted also early this week the trump of ministration threatened to sanction companies whose activities do help the venezuelan government including russia's biggest oil producer ross neff the meanwhile the venezuelan opposition leader was warmly welcomed in washington's capital am receiving fresh pledges of support in his so-called fight for democracy with book of stay with you mr president in that fight here this evening so a very brave man who carries with him the hopes dreams and aspirations of all there is whelan's joining us in the gallery is the true illegitimate president of venezuela why and why do so. and says

that washington has or is resorting to increasingly direct sanctions against key parts of the venezuelan economy. the sanctions we've seen applied by the united states over the last the last year essentially how to have been limited to direct sanctions they've been rhetoric all secondary sanctions on 3rd parties but at the moment this is only rhetoric it's not unsurprisingly it non-target yet another state owned industry inverness way that they've targeted oil of gold and a range of other public industry so it's not unsurprising the now target in the aircraft as well yes and we've seen a very clear tendency of the last 12 months. i've lost support for here in venezuela and internationally so i think this is one of the last cards of watching some how left to play in quite a tale we could see to receive in the way that donald trump did and to give him a standing ovation here at sea is clearly

a published at least done to try and boost its popularity very internationally and here in venezuela still ahead see this as the u.s. is seeking new ways to compete with chinese type join what happened with this story . just after. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest reading truth to stand distance is just the dance the right questions to the right answer. the. question. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. again you with us saying now the u.s. attorney general has suggested that america should buy stakes in phone makers like nokia and ericsson to create strong competition against china's weiwei. added there

is now a leader in 5 key developments and the u.s. and its allies need to find ways to counter it and there are only 2 companies that can compete with the way right now. and ericsson the main concern about these suppliers is that they have neither walk away scale nor the backing of a powerful country with a large embedded market like china. you know there have been some proposals that these concerns could be met by the united states aligning itself with nokia or indoor air except through american ownership of a controlling stake either directly or through a consortium of private american and allied companies while washington has locked horns with weiwei in the ongoing trade war with china the u.s. claims the firm has direct ties to the chinese government and conducts espionage it also accuses the company of stealing intellectual property are ways now banned from

the u.s. market and washington is pressuring its allies to block it from their 5 g. networks to weiwei they denies any wrongdoing politics professor joseph gregory mahoney isn't confident that such moves would lead to fair competition. raises a number of serious questions with regard to fair competition 1st does it kill the market in the west and if you choose nokia or ericsson or one of the other what's the effect on the other competitor what's the effect on samsung another of sort of strange thing that we that we have to think about is the american role as a regulator not only for the american or the american government's role as a regulator not only in the american government but but they have ramifications for global regulation these are european companies are the pride of their nation the fact of the matter is. is is the attorney general basically suggesting that there

might be you know what we might call it in a market terminology a hostile takeover. threat. it could completely. royle the markets it could it could destroy their business plan. some of the u.k.'s 1st policy changes since leaving the e.u. are causing something of a stir in its former club the government says it wants to end the automatic early release from prison of terror if n. does that is after sunday's attack in london where 2 people were stabbed by a man released from prison just 10 days earlier currently convicted terrorists are up for automatic release after serving half of their sentence but britain's proposed legislation could breach the european convention on human rights so london is considering withdrawing its membership however the european commission is now warned that that could force it to end judicial co-operation the resist partnership should provide for automatic terminations of law enforcement corporation and

judicial corp in criminal matters if the united kingdom were to denounce the european convention of human rights we debated the story steve morrissey's from the english democrats passed you know so we human rights lawyer scheibe and caught. it's a good idea to have a parole board that deals with each case individually in principle there's nothing wrong with that but if what the reports are suggesting are correct that mainly they want to change the potential released release date from a half of a sentence to 2 thirds and i think that's where the problem comes in well one of the things is a sentence in rules are completely to pot them and if somebody gets given a sentence 5 years then the certified here stuff should be let out early anyway then when the fault then you look at the parole and say why are these suitable for release that this is a very very serious and complicated situation that calls for nuanced.

periods of debate argument consideration not something that the government rushes through in a matter of weeks is a kneejerk reaction well it has to be at the moment because the government over the last few years of an absolutely nothing to address this problem and we do know that there is a number of potential of people in prison the moment. issues that are about to be released but these are people particularly when it if they're going to start applying it to people who are already been convicted already been sentenced already part of their sentence then it's unfair and potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people human rights to being there in the 1st place if they're still deemed as a safety risk then they should be let out in a way because. who is likely to attack all the people is a violation of those pedestrians and those individuals human rights as well in terms of what's been suggested about you know we just keep them up until we sure

that there won't be a risk any more than we have sentences in the 1st place to me they should have been stripped away 5 years if they say 5 to 5 years then release them if not it has to be drawn quickly and it has to be told to make sure that london and all the parts of the u.k. safe. sanctions on russian goods imposed by the european union back in 2015 could potentially be lifted by the u.k. once the country concludes his brakes trade negotiations that's according to the u.k. department for international trade transition reviews will assess whether the current measure is appropriate for the u.k. markets and whether it should be very changed or terminated industrial products such as aluminum foil seamless pipe sign and steel fittings are among those items that could be removed from the restrictions listed earlier the host of the r.t. shaped sputnik george galloway joining the studio hey where i did ask him about the chances of british relations with russia improving. well objectively i mean

logically they ought to britain has slipped its moorings in the us and is setting still for the world russia's a major part of the world moscow's the biggest city in europe russia's the biggest country in europe it's one of the world's biggest economy is largely britain not to be looking for friends and ought to be looking therefore to thaw if not warm up its relations with russia and there are one or 2 straws in the wind that suggests that britain realizes that at the same time britain's under countervailing pressure from the united states. over the while we have other things. there's something to play for george galloway talking to me earlier just coming up to half 1 in the morning here in moscow or back again at the top of the.

copper prices telling us about globalization the dollar is asian population also the big thing the market tells us the cycles of the markets are telling us something that you don't hear in mainstream media and that's always been the case since markets are bad and it's always price precedes news. donald trump might appear showy and shallow but he has once again defied his critics this time by securing his impeachment acquittal what is it about the 45th

president of the united states that makes people love and hate him so the last. day one of a post impeach with a world in which donald trump has been acquitted funnyman miles jobrani and cher as ari author of a simple guide to the crimes of the trump campaign both on this. politicking

on larry king donald trump has been acquitted in his impeachment trial and now all . turned to 2020 in the race for the white house we'll get a legal read on the acquittal later in the program but 1st mazzeo brahmi actor comedian host of the prog is back to school with measure brahmi and co showing in a new movie a simple wedding he joins me here in studio to talk about the post impeachment era we are now living in as what do you make of all this well larry i just keep sick of me shaking my head since since he got elected i thought nothing makes sense to me i mean the thing is we knew going into it that it was going to be acquitted but but once you go once you actually experience it it hurts still with all the evidence they do well the evidence and the fact that they would want to hear evidence i

don't care if you're republican democrat what have you when john bolton is saying let me speak let me speak let him speak forget forget your why would you not want to hear why would you not want to hear you know it's it's so blatant party above country and it's heartbreaking because you really hope you know you a lot of times you think that you are you're in good hands that people with integrity or running things and then when you're faced with it you realize oh no it's as bad as it's worse than the house really the t.v. show house of cards he was at least he was you know right there and they would tell you he was corrupt and these guys we all know there's a lot of. it's a power struggle and you know at least romney spoke up so that was one thing you said the donald trump is good comedy but bad for the world why is he good comedies and some people think he is comedy in a.
