12:01 pm
they did even just going to 8 o'clock here in moscow you were watching r.t. international now the international chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. has lashed out at the leaks provided by 2 whistle blows who revealed serious defects in its final report on an alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma unverified video emerged in april 28th claiming to show the aftermath of the ledge to sold it was immediately blamed on syrian government forces prompting the u.s. the u.k. and france to carry out airstrikes on scientific citizens they blamed for the incident even before any probe into what happened. explains how the latest comments do not appear to restore trust in the official findings. 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 sudley to cover your butt and the
12:02 pm
u.p.c. w. lets 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 are designated the deputy director general as 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
12:03 pm
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 at the alleged chemical attack site also at the hospital he helped tag and sealed those all important cylinders inspectors a and b. a not whistle blowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence 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 now we come to the icing the question
12:04 pm
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. and if you think they treated inspected be any more seriously than inspector 8 you're in for a surprise most of the doman team failed to see reports on the incident the interim report in 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
12:05 pm
f a 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
12:06 pm
uninformed and brum 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 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 access stations. broadcast of reporting there now in thailand special forces have just stormed a shopping mall in a city northeast of bangkok in a bid to capture a gunman who killed at least 20 people during a shooting rampage earlier on saturday police have managed to evacuate hundreds of people from the shopping center earlier report suggested the gunman had been holding a number of hostages the gunman has yet to be located though he was active on social media throughout the shooting posting disturbing videos and also pictures
12:07 pm
which were shared online before his accounts were closed and this is what we know about the gunman so far he has been identified as a junior officer in the thai army the suspect is believed to have shot dead a senior officer and see other soldiers inside a military base before allegedly allegedly stealing military equipment and hijacking a humvee the gunman then went on to open fire several sites including a buddhist temple and then the shopping mall political commentator. says that the shooting comes on the back of growing social unrest in the country. has one of the very high at home also. it is higher. up at the united states. lately there is a huge donation that is a social dimension. income disparities through those close is sort of very high tide bad. realistically high as well which makes it very difficult for tens of
12:08 pm
millions of times to actually sort of wives and so is this very common to see that. on the surface of politeness smiles there is a lot of anger and frustration so anything can trigger the. trigger reaction from the people. who are talking. about the soldier about. you know a person who has access to the guns this is. dangerous. cocktail if you wish. that britain is at the center of another extradition scandal the u.k. high court is tonight the indian government's request to extradite a couple accused of arranging the murder of their adopted son the decision based on concern over a possible violation of their human rights in india has seen the couple walk free
12:09 pm
for now they deny the allegations with more his sharia and which dash to. the old saying goes that no one is above the law but it seems that some people aren't subject to either a british couple adopted an 11 year old often boy in india and promised him a better life but now they're charged with the ranging his matter all for a lump sum of life insurance payout. indian place have been battling for over terri gear to get their hands on a couple but to no avail and now british high court judges have ruled they can't be extradited but not because the evidence against them isn't strong enough. i find very circumstantial prime of that news dear mr
12:10 pm
a jogger acting together and with others committed the offense to set out above despite all this the u.k. won't send the back why well because of one crucial piece of indian legislation that means the package faces sentence of life without parole if convicted of double murder in the country which the united kingdom says would breach the human rights. i find that there are substantial grounds for believing that they would face a real risk of been subjected to treatment like a review of a life sentence which would be inhuman and degrading this would be a breach of article 3 the court's decision falls within the european convention on human rights but the ruling is raising concerns here in britain do we really want suspected child killers roaming the streets of london this is an absolutely crime and i think many people would agree there needs to be the harshest of sentences if they are found guilty it is up to the indian legal system to decide on the appropriate penalty and we should not be standing in the way of justice being served for the victims but the decision to keep criminals here in the u.k.
12:11 pm
raises alarm bells as the concept of human rights even for those abusing them seems to provide a quick get out of jail free card the fact is here justice has been denied to the indian people the process of a trial has been prevented because of the european human rights legislation when we're saying that they can't even stand trial because the possibility that they will receive what is called an irreducible life sentence in india means that the possible sentence violates their human rights what the british government is saying is that there is no assurance in place that these 2 people will not be treated in the same way as they would have been had they been arrested in india what we are saying to the indian government and to the group draw to authorities is that your criminal justice system simply isn't good enough to try our citizens who was an incredibly serious offense indian people cannot hold people to account under the terms of the justice system without the european and british courts saying you're justice isn't isn't good enough i think these cases show is that actually what it
12:12 pm
does is it creates a difference in treatment between european citizens and the rest of the world. now the final result from the bush die where democratic primary still remains unclear despite all the results being in the party state officials have spent the week trying to verify the figures following a technical glitch in a voting app and many now question how the chaotic scenes could have been allowed to happen all while donald trump has been reveling in the mayhem. democrats don't know what the hell they do it was they cared care simple votes but they want to fix your health care system. now when questions are raised over any election results in the us they are soon followed by pledges that it will be sorted quickly but this kind of explains when it happens in other countries it doesn't easily take too long before washington start shouting fraud. often the way we interpret events can be very subjective
12:13 pm
if something happens to someone else we see it one way but it happens to us we see it very differently let's compare the electoral confusion in bolivia last october to the electoral confusion in the us state of iowa last week in both situations an election took place and the results were delayed and then authorities said that some irregularities that happened throughout the collection of records over results the i would democratic party identified in consistencies in the data and used the redundant paper records to probably correct those errors there was intentional manipulation and serious irregularities the make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the bolivian electoral foresees in both instances the public spoke up and cried foul folks i don't know what is going on with the iowa democratic party and the slow trickle of results how many of the counties are having their results foolishly reported by the i.d.p.
12:14 pm
every county needs to release the results now now iowa caucus was rigged by mayor cheap eat pasta don't. you know. and in both instances the authorities agreed and said that the concerns had to be addressed what happened in iowa was unacceptable and the party chair has acknowledged that he's apologized for that and we have worked together over the last few days to fix the challenges and to see the i have decided 1st to replace every member of the supremum like total tribunal and 2nd the whole national elections and to allow the bolivian people to democratically elect a new government with a new political activists except the similarities stop here in iowa a recount is being conducted to make sure the ultimate results are correct and in bolivia the military toppled the government and a woman who wasn't even a candidate in the election has declared herself to be the new leader. how. i see
12:15 pm
in the presidency with the middle of the fact in line with the constitution and pres to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country. while many have declared what happened in bolivia to be a military coup the us secretary of state branded it as a transition to democracy we recognize the importance of believe us political transition to democracy in our hemisphere and we had mire the believe in people for standing up for their constitution their democracy and for free fair and transparent elections after morale a sled things have been pretty messy in bolivia and that's why my resigning so that my opponents do not continue to persecute more socialist brothers. i'm wondering if the organization of american states as they were said in an election i want you to figure out what's what's going on where you know it's clear
12:16 pm
that in the case of bolivia. the cleaning of the let's talk discrepancies to you to justify any campaign to demonize even more of us and then ultimately to overthrow him he didn't use it why did he go against. them just because he pursued policies that were of object you ask on the nation of the region so the difference is that in the case of in the case of iwo the presumption is it's just a technical problem or you know there's nothing sort of sinister going on whereas in the case of the government that's all sided with washington also i was on the whites and it was a different standard so if a u.s. state has some electoral confusion we'll look into the matter and get it straightened out however if a socialist government that is friendly to russia and china has a mix up at the polls it's time to reduce the country to kill. asked caleb happen
12:17 pm
r.t. new york. now the president of the philippines rodrigo deter planning to rip up a longstanding military pact with the united states that after washington canceled the tourist visa issue to one of his close to political allies who's been in charge of the country's tough crackdown on the illegal drugs trade washington said that the visa had been revoked because the crackdown had strengthened and human rights were being violated but it has made his feelings about the move a. souped up go. go on the show merely i'm wondering you're this is the 1st time. i mean your. you know. why are you in a better man may be brief. visit being is agreement. up
12:18 pm
also. well that so-called visiting forces agreement has been in place since 999 it provides a framework for u.s. troops coming to the philippines for joint training exercises if it is canceled it will affect more than 300 military personnel we spoke to political scientists and foreign affairs analyst richard hadrian about the impact this could have. here is the president very get used really angry at the united states not only because of the travel ban or visa restrictions imposed on saw these lights but there are concerns that the united states might actually move forward. and other kinds of sanctions against the president himself down the road especially when he's out there already going to step down so i think there was some complacency on the part of united states if they ease indeed taken out that means the end will significant amount of american military aid to the philippines which amount $1800000000.00 or
12:19 pm
possibly decades and it's going to make it very difficult gratian allies because that be a base the software that allows for the operationalization the hardware lines and you might. be watching us he still has a sassy with a case of life this abandoned pup which had been at death's door slightly beingness back to health and supposed to have a closer look just off. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
