thank you thank. god. the global chemical watchdog slams truth for me inspectors who questions the o.p.c. w a report into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian town of do what. happened to plane in syria narrowly avoids being hit by air defenses reportedly find in response to an israeli missile attack. on britain's determination to stop terrorists and diskettes and also massacre early release from prison the state said on court a collision course with the e.u. this human rights we put the issue up to debate. 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 so part of their sentence then it's unfair and

potentially a breach of human rights potentially unlawful don't forget they violated people's human rights to being there in the 1st place. a very well continue watching r.t. international with me the key aaron it's great to have you with us our top story this hour the international chemical watchdog has lashed out at the leaks provided by 2 whistle blowers who raise doubts over the o.p.c. w. report into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian town of duma the incident has long been blamed on syrian government forces however the latest comments by the a p c w have raised more questions than answers as more art gallery of explosives. 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. independent 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 are designated the deputy director general as 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 she had no business doing

in fact according to the soupy she 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 where he helped tag and seal 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 inspect 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 them 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 their parents in law and 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 ordered it deleted from archives they go on to explain why they did this apparently because inspectors a and b. and 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 question 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 8 in jew 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 inspected be any more seriously than inspector 8 you're in for a surprise most the duty and focus he reports on the instant the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent inspected b.

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 afa and in particular the ongoing duma 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. it'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. it just ignored well not entirely. as could be expected their conclusions are rona's uninformed and wrong mission accomplished but covered and if you are at the u.p.c. w. watching this you may be saddened to learn that you are now going to have to tend 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 access stations right and freelance journalist erica dad believes the o.p.c. w. is using every method of his at his disposal to justify its own mistakes. 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 their reputation of the organization is that is at risk to admit that these whistle blowers. 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 that come forward mr henderson led the team that is to do murder in 2018 and he wrote his report that you know clearly stated that there was no evidence of chlorine use. and you know that found themselves in a situation where they're having to you know manage a lie essentially a narrative that is not congruent with the facts and you know that's your 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 that doesn't work out so well. passenger

plane carrying 172 people has been forced to make an emergency landing in syria and narrowly missed being hit by the country's a defensive which had reportedly been activated in response to an israeli air strike well russia's defense ministry accused israel of using the 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 sex 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 stuff 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 russia 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. 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 accused and said that israel is behind this incident put the force on israel 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 shields against syrian defense systems though it has yet to comment on this incidence and does acknowledge that it's carrying out strikes in syria to counter

forces backed by iran and this video shows the aftermath of the air raids outside damascus you can see residents clearing rubble from the streets cars and buildings were completely destroyed we spoke to people living in the district. we work 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 garbage was only material every nation security and ticket to getting a new is told is why it's so difficult for civilian aircraft to avoid danger. clearly what happened was the when the attacks by the israelis underway damascus 30 c. . of the aircraft diverted them to the russian as we've seen recently tragically

i think there are different servicemen the sorts find out that there are not there is only one outcome in a military aircraft there are systems on board the aircraft that will detect the launch of a missile and suggest the countermeasures or even what's more likely to record the missile countermeasures appropriate to the type of missile that's been launched at it equally but military aircraft of course is very maneuverable and can take physical action as well as electronic another countermeasures and there are no gods come with that kit it's certainly not standard equipment a civilian aircraft does not help new to. subsume a system. for us to slap to new sanctions on venezuela this time targeting the country's flag carrier line convoy comes as washington also threatened further penalties on entities with ties to venezuelan oil companies the

sanctions were denounced by russia's foreign minister who's holding talks in caracas with president nicolas maduro. we reiterate our solidarity towards vo this way and the venezuelan people in their fight against the united states we denounce all methods such as blackmail illegal sanctions and the attempts to dictate the will of the people as well as the interference in internal state matters. not in any one people there is no police here for imperialist illegal sanctions and military intervention we again reiterate that we seek peace in this world can tolerate sanctions and black meal the latest round of u.s. sanctions target 40 aircraft of venezuela's national carrier by comes on top of existing penalties on venezuelan firms including the main oil company and the sanctions the us companies are barred from directly importing venezuelan crude and have seen financial transactions between the 2 countries severely restricted

earlier this week the trumpet ministration threatens to sanction companies whose activities help the venezuelan government that includes russia's biggest oil producer rolls nerved. and meanwhile the venezuela opposition leader one warmly well was warmly welcomed in washington and received a fresh pledges of support. 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 venezuelans joining us in the gallery is the true illegitimate president of venezuela one boyd. journalist paul dobson says washington 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 have been

limited to direct sanctions there's been rhetoric all secondary sanctions on 3rd parties but at the moment this is only rhetoric and it's not unsurprisingly it non-target at yet another state owned industry inverness way that they've targeted oil of gold and a range of other public industries so it's not on surprise and they're now a target in the aircraft as well yes and we've seen a very clear tendency of the last 12 months where where there has lost support for here in venezuela and internationally so i think this is one of the last cards of watching someone who has left to play in quite a tale that 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 publicist he's done to try and boost his popularity very internationally and here in venice way that so to calm the south the u.s. is seeking new ways to compete with the chinese tech giant while way that story and small after this short break stay with us.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back the u.s. attorney general has suggested america should buy stakes in foreign cell phone companies to compete with the chinese tech giant huawei william bonded that huawei is now a leader in 5 g. 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 nokia and ericsson the main concern about these suppliers is that they have neither was always scale nor the backing of

a powerful country with a large embedded market like china. now there have been some proposals that these concerns could be met by the united states aligning itself with nokia and orexia through american ownership of a controlling stake either directly or through a consortium of private american and allied companies the u.s. has accused of spying for the chinese government and stealing good tonight intellectual property while way denies those claims political analyst joseph gregory mahoney believes the u.s. could distorts the global markets by buying up foreign tech companies. 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 what the american government's role as a regulator not only in american government but that they have ramifications for global read or regulation these are european companies that are the pride of their nation the fact of the matter is. is the attorney general basically suggesting that there might be you know what we might call it in the market terminology a hostile takeover. threat. it could completely. royle the markets it could it could destroy their business plan. for your case 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 offenders after sunday's attack in london where 2 people was stopped by a man released from prison just 10 days earlier currently convicted terrorists are up for some thought to serving hof their sentence but britain's proposed

legislation could breach the european convention on human lights so london is considering withdrawing its membership however the european commission warns that it could force it to end judicial cooperation 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 stephen morris from the english democrats party and human rights lawyer show up and con debated the issue. 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 sense it's in rules are completely to pot them and if somebody gets given

a sentence 5 years than the years that should be let out early anyway then when the fault then you look at the parole and so you are 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 don't 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 served 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 be in there in the 1st place if they're still deemed as

a safety risk than they should be let out in a way because. who is likely to attack or 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 they 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 and release them if not the border 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. functions on russian goods imposed by the european union in 2015 could potentially be lifted by the u.k. once the country concluded its breadth of trade negotiations as according to the u.k. department for international trade. transition reviews will assess whether the current measure is appropriate for the came markets and whether it should be very changed

or terminated industrial products such as a mini m for oil thing this pipe's iron and steel for things are among the items that could be removed from the restrictions lifted earlier the host of the r.t. show sputnik george galloway had joined as in the studio where we asked him about the chances of british relations with russia improving post breaks it well objectively i mean logically the 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 logically 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 suggest that britain realizes that at the same time britain's under countervailing

pressure from the united states. over the while we have other things saw there's something to play for i'd love to hear your thoughts on our stories they do get in touch by following us on social media we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines here. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people i promise to be you know we've all pots the. most beautiful.

pretty. much. now you want to 1st. know. all 5 the. thinking of getting your music on the ones we got in our shoes no problem why is he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny low wired we don't need a crate with him he will just. freaking out in she won't let us bring him anywhere

near and thousands of breeding dogs are paged in the interview lane conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection. because you. know it's a kid. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being stolen. and it stores even joined a group businesses are involved but. there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial rating for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. walked through the streets of moscow now drew blood on

100 people i would count each of them would have the changes of leukemia in the blood if they don't have leukemia because in order for them to have leukemia they need the d.n.a. changes but they also need an environment that's receptive of one of the biggest areas of growth for medicine in the future is be targeting vironment changing new to the cancer doesn't want to. and. i. think i was. just i don't hide oh i lost his boss because i just figured out that you're just going to. let me put your money might all of those in prison but the pessimist in tone are going to show your true mother when i mean when i think. you know it anyway.

so yes you know i was you know. just i mean what almost what a lot more people have spent up out of me just go to. a checklist i have a lot coming up from all that is an italian on loan. and in the up on what i think she said fisher must go. see the end because they say give me those were. always had a were do. my thing with lassie equal kind of woman you just bumped into already yes it will be getting up there calling. us who you think the. focus on the boards you know people for. go out and what i mean by that anybody made a comment to you when they were going to see me play for the best.
