and very well now can see you you'll. have a top security conference russia's foreign minister tells western counterparts to stop painting moscow as a threat while the french president rips into america's top diplomats claim of western dominance. also to come on the weekly a 3rd of whistleblower casts further doubt on the probe by the international chemical weapons watchdog into the alleged chemical attack in syria adding he faced intimidation. and a last minute legal intervention could eventually see a killer and rapist released back onto the streets of britain as 25 violent criminals have their deportations to make up a lot. more responsibility to pay for it for the national to commit crime if

you have these people they commit you single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously from the just shows how your trust we have in i were in criminal justice system. this is the weekly here on our to you welcome to our roundup of the day's news along with the headlines that shape the week. now it's the final day of the munich security conference on sunday russia's foreign minister told europe that it's time to change course arguing that moscow's international partners need to stop invoking the false phantom of a russian threat sergey lavrov used his address to call with the us with the details here's peter all over. so to get allow for all of the russian foreign minister he gave a very quick address to the munich security conference he did say that when it came to improving relationships with europe as some european leaders have been speaking about iraq this year's security conference there remained what mr laffer of called

a crisis of confidence the course of confidence is being felt particularly strongly in european affairs as collating tensions nato's military infrastructure advancing eastwards the unprecedented scale of the military exercises close to the russian borders the inflating of defense budget beyond all possible measure all of these generate unpredictability the confrontational dynamics of the cold war have been recreated one of those world leaders talking about improving ties between europe russia with france's money with my call we europeans suffer as much from the sanctions as the russians do in our strategic dialogue with russia we must take the opportunity to talk pros and conflicts address cyber issues and talk about space and the militarization of space early on saturday he was also speaking out about his idea to get more autonomy for europe when it comes to defense so that european nations could be able to act independently of the united states in

a more yup or new deported we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west we need to develop our own strategy representing the united states has interests with secretary of state gins role on the international stage needs to evolve i'm happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated. the west is winning we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy winning winning the west will win that keep the e.u.'s trying to find a new role in the eurasian of the world which is normal although one of the polls. 2nd world war so now we are not in the. west and the rest and sort of position of international order the stone the agreements of. this is over the world these multi-polar there are

powers which reclaiming their rule like china and russia it's the same level like the western countries so this is something difficult for the european union to the cheese. structure created a ton of you know that is over. the crisis in syria also dominated discussion on the sidelines of the munich conference russia's foreign minister met with his turkish counterpart to discuss the recent military flare up and bombing the 2 countries their disagreements remain between angra and moscow over how to resolve the situation in syria is a blip province a turkish delegation visit to russia on monday for talks over the issue in libya has become a focal point is seen as the last stronghold for iceland militants president assad's government forces backed by russia are working to liberate the area but turkey has criticized the 2 countries for taking military action in residential

zones something both moscow and a basket deny. it the syrian regime as well as russian forces and iran by. continuously attacking civilians committing massacre and the statements made by turkish representatives about alleged russian military attacks on civilians in the edward discolorations zone are false the real reason for the crisis and ad lib unfortunately is that our turkish colleagues have failed to fulfill their obligations to separate the moderate opposition militants from the terrorists in these areas turkey has not upheld its obligations not on the saudi agreement but also on the astonished agreement on the saatchi agreement deescalation zones are not going to work if turkey doesn't. maintain its side of the bargain and in order to separate the militants supposedly from the regular moderate rebels we know in reality that there is no difference really between those 2 so that part of the

agreement is neither here nor there but the because of this there is no way to have the escalation zones on the a stunner agreement. if you remember back in the fall of 28 teen there were a number of things agreed and one of the key things was that turkey would assist in the liberation of the international road to damascus to aleppo road or the the m 5 highway to turkey has never done that and the reason none of these agreements are working is because actually turkey appears to be pursuing a parallel agenda and as long as it's doing that there's no way that they're going to meet those obligations and therefore the situation will become dysfunctional very quickly. staying with syria i 30 whistleblower has chimed in with claims accusing the world chemical weapons watchdog of creating an atmosphere of intimidation during the investigation into the alleged attack in the syrian city of duma in april of 2018 a redacted e-mail given to investigative news

a website the gray zone project highlights. she is of integrity during the probe and falls revelations by 2 other watchdog employees stressing the same issues they also question the findings of the final o p c w report which in effect pin the blame on the assad government. shifts through the evidence. we liked magine that these nassif google organizations the u.n. the i.m.f. the u.p.c. w. these juggernauts good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and you're left the supported one whistleblower saying the u.p.c. w. was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing makes you think could they be right u.b.c. w. says no ignore them space is a and b

a not whistle blowers they are individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brohm sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when it's 3 when it's 5 when it's a dozen whistle blows you know something's rotten. on those behind the crimes that have been perpetrated in the name of humanity and democracy they will not hesitate to do harm to me and my family just what the hell is going on at the o.p.c. w. what could be soon terrifying that its own employees are afraid for their lives and feel their employer could target them and their families it isn't just one individual it's others too whose crimes were that they would just doing their jobs i submitted a requests to the team leader i asked i repeated this request

a number of times all requests were declined or simply ignored just the guy doing his job what it said in the job description at what was a respectable organization according to testimony given at the un that's not what the u.p.c. w. the management wanted all. yes were denied the responses i received included this is too big don't make yourself a martyr i deposited a dossier requesting an investigation months later i was informed that nothing would be done i requested a meeting with the director general as i thought the situation was serious enough to warrant him being made aware of it the request for a meeting was denied and i was informed by a senior manager that you will never get to the director general and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences but don't you think the u.p.c. w. hasn't learned its lesson it has it isn't the lesson you and me might think of you know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for

them needs to learn to keep their mouths shut and additional bigotry organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for all personnel employed by the secretariat this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas in the future the bosses over the u.p.c. w. could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you day speak out against the u p c w or don't want to expose myself or my family to their violence on revenge i don't want to live in fear of crossing the streets. as mentioned in that report the o.p.c. w. went public and doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we've asked the international chemical weapons watchdog to comment on all the allegations well

you know its response if we hear back. now to the u.k. where the british government's concern that an appeal could see both a killer and a rapist released on bail within days they're among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation from the u.k. this week after a last minute legal challenge blocked their return to jamaica. one of those $25.00 was found guilty of stabbing a 50 year old man to death fitzroy dollie is currently serving a 10 year sentence while convicted rapist fabian henry is behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls will stay in britain pending an appeal by the government which is concerned they might pose a threat to the public but for now they have been reprieved as the appeals judge ruled that they hadn't been given access to legal advice or a phone he government however says it regrets the court came to that decision and stressed it will act to remove serious offenders who are not british the offenses which these people are responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms

offense 7 violent offenses 2 which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove syria's foreign national offenders we've got reaction from human rights lawyer and political commentator andrea walker on whether legal technicalities should keep violent offenders from being deported. this is not a regs issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights a family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or less your sits in the united kingdom just like any other british national just as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they serve their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have british spouses british parents british children british families it is not my responsibility to pay for

a foreign national to commit crime in my country any of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously if we had the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system they've been in prison they didn't have permission to then why have we not been able to be have billeted then why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances a real finding that is the responsibility of the government i don't have a duty to deal with the world's worst people i don't have a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do a job it also raise a family it ought to be a reasonable person i love you if you wish to come to this country it ought to sell drugs beat people up rape murder pillage abuse go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims there is no legal aid for such cases anymore and people who can't afford lawyers aren't able to claim their legal rights and that's why there was an additional thing the point here is not just why

are we deporting black people the point is why every deporting criminals who have committed relatively minor offenses and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to loaf and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever come to put in a situation where the you know in this part of the moment the they act in a certain way but also that doesn't mean that we should separate them and essentially destroy that i mean it's whatever and that's the point. in that he looking at other young this is out of the moment in the spare the moments you commits knots about insults about killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. 2 people have been stabbed during a church service in central moscow the incident took place on sunday morning a 26 year old man stormed into the building and carried out the assault before

being stopped by members of the public he is now in custody and the 2 victims both church assistants are in the hospital the senior priest said there was no indication the attacker would strike and his motive is not yet known. still the combi french president loses another close ally and head of key local elections a story and more after the break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the weekly the french president faces increasingly risky local

elections next month amid desertions and his own party and record public anger over his reforms. reports from paris in 2017 emmanuel mccall zoomed to power in france promising a new kind of politics with breakneck speed he set up a new party in power to a political newbies who went on to secure a majority in the national assembly but less than 3 years later the wheels already coming off the bus of important elections he's facing problems on several fronts firstly his government and many of its policies have proven them popular take pension reform which has sparked a huge protest across the country. those changes. every day citizens even his own m.p.'s have questioned the plans.

the desire for reform and the speed imposed have taken precedence over the government's ability to listen and consult with the fringe she since left isn't the only one to have done so the only move party has suffered several high profile resignations and defections m.p.'s in ministers who may have once toed the line have begun to question the party's position. there was a syndrome of us all being very well behaved because we didn't want to cause problems for the government but today there are lots of members of parliament who don't want to play that role in a bid to rally the troops mccord invited his parliamentarians to the say telling them they should be proud of being perhaps a not too subtle reminder that they should fall in line popularity since his meteoric rise to the presidency has along been crumbling recent polls show that less than one 3rd of people in france view him favorably he's so unpopular that

voters are expected to hand big gains to marina pen's national rally to green parties in france is municipal elections next month but corn is also struggled with movements like the yellow vests 15 months on and not only the protest in on the revolving the accused of being the president of the rich a title he has not surprisingly rejected but a new report by france's observatory for economic conditions suggests it's a label that perhaps should stay cool no one said france needed a jew for terry and a head to state it seems members of his own party and many citizens disagree with that enough to perhaps bring mark and his new politics crashing down. and in another blow to micron one of his closest political allies has withdrawn his candidacy for mayor of paris after a leaked video allegedly showed 2 benjamin greebo sending explicit content to

a woman who was not his wife the president had handpicked for the position we spoke to journalist and european political expert lucre of a who says micron's party looks to be in trouble. head of course a large majority it's always the case when a president is elected next elections for parliament his party his group gets a large majority 3318 if i remember well members of parliament which was a lot much more than a needed but since then he has lost some 18 or even 19 members of parliament people of resigned 2 of left who will stay on but as independent many people in his political party don't believe that it is a party anymore they don't believe that michael is interested if his power is personal at least the president any doesn't work with this party really so we have

seen so many people leave 1819 and has majority is eroding so much that it becomes a bit dangerous for him politically speaking in the coming 2 years. this week the palestinian president formally rejected dollar terms proposed a middle east peace plan speaking at the u.n. security council mahmoud abbas dismissed the proposal as a reward for occupation adding it would leave palestine a fall of holes like swiss cheese. this is the state that they will give us which is like swiss cheese which of you will accept such a state. within the few the to be pragmatic if you do this to negotiate even not into the finding a solution to the conflict i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians that is all i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the israeli american proposal. mean

all tensions continue to mount in the aftermath of the proposal as palestinians clashed with israeli police and jerusalem. 0 7. as you can see here on saturday israeli police try to remove palestinians praying in the streets of east jerusalem near the temple mount this time this is discussed by the peace plan the u.s. plan would formalize its recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital and claims to double palestine's territory the deal makes easter islam capital of palestine it also offers a $50000000000.00 worth of investment in the new state but a senior adviser to president abbas told us it's a terrible proposal. this is not a deal this is an attempt to liquidate the palestinian problem give it a big part of our land and was about to do israel and. israel responsible

for our security whatever. share with us the dock some also. go over all of the east jerusalem and stop giving on your rights to the future there is nothing gulf with really focused on our best to accept in the security council he was very clear. that i want peace based on the 2 state solution i want to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want the quartet which includes russia and the. united nations and the united states but i would not submit to the united states i make it the sole oh no the goal of this peace process because it is so deadly biased with israelis. the u.s. representative to nato has claimed that every single alliance member has been cyber attacked by either russia or china and in the world must strengthen its firewalls

against moscow and beijing meanwhile a report has revealed that the cia and its german counterpart swiss made encryption machines back in the 1970 s. allowing them to spy on embassies and government institutions in 120 countries for decades the a quarter has more. the washington post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west german secret services pulling the strings of a swiss and christian company and stealing government secrets from over 120 countries foreign governments were paying good money to the us and was germany for the privilege of having their most secret communications read by at least 2 foreign countries it was a foolproof operation 1st called the saurus and later renamed rubicon for over half a century of the company crypto a.g.t. was a captain of the world's encryption industry based in neutral switzerland most governments were quick to believe their secrets were in safe hands little did they know the cia

and west germany's b.m.d. had co-opted the company's founder to create a backdoor into the world's best kept secrets in 1988 western spies had complete access to the egyptian president's communications with cairo during the camp david peace talks with israel a year later washington was spying on a rainy and officials during the hostage crisis and as late as 1986 u.s. intelligence was listening to libyan officials congratulate each other for the bombing of a burl in disco although the c.i. a and b. and d. weren't able to hook their main rivals russia and china had enough foresight to look elsewhere for their encryption needs nowadays though those 2 are the scapegoats for all of the west's cyber woes if you see throughout our alliance every one of our countries has had side by and hybrid attacks from russia some from china for washington it's become a routine to point the finger at russia and china but it's not like u.s.

intelligence operations have wound down since then on the contrary they've adapted . edward snowden is the 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked top secret national security agency information revealing the incredible extent to which the u.s. government is monitoring and keeping records of not just our own national security agency has developed is built into the structure they could intercept almost everything. national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts of citizens data the group by president obama who is reviewing the washington spying program has largely defended it although the program has not

prevented a terrorist attack it was still vital to homeland security. the central intelligence agency has washed control of highly classified documents and computer code about the cia's technical capability to carry out. into electronic devices things like android phones only phones and julian assange. accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its cyber weapons it doesn't matter who you are friend or foe they're coming for your secrets . i have since we started talking about them to see always made it clear to the u.s. president that spying among friends is not acceptable and if you take wiki leaks vault 7 documents into consideration it makes operation rubicon look like child's play the scope and direction of the cia's global covert hacking program its malware

arsenal and dozens of 0 day weaponized exploits against a wide range of u.s. and european company products include apple's i phone google's android and microsoft's windows and even samsung t.v.'s which are turned into covert. microphones even their own citizens are unsafe now increasingly we see that it's happening domestically and to do that. the n.s.a. specifically targets the communications of everyone in just some by default it collects them in its system and it filters them in it analyzes the minute measures them and it stores them for periods of time simply because that's the easiest most efficient and most valuable way to achieve these ends snowden took the revelations about crypto a.g. even further comparing it with the formerly secret $10000000.00 contract between the n.s.a. and a major u.s.

computer security firm it begs the question what info grabbing operations are still going on right now under our noses given the time that has passed since the cia began its reported operation former cia analyst and whistleblower john kiriakou doesn't expect anyone to come clean. i can only speculate but we have a mandatory declassification law in this country where if information is at least 30 years old and it is not operational in nature that is it doesn't include information related to sources and methods that it has to be declassified and i wonder if that's really what this is all about that the information is old enough that that there's no reason to keep it classified anymore the the u.s. has interfered in more elections around the world then any other country in the world and i wouldn't be surprised if it was more than all other countries in the

world combined this is something they that the u.s. does routinely regularly this may at least temporarily serve to take the attention off of russia off of china and other countries because this is something the united states does all the time not only will will there be no criminal repercussions i would not at all be surprised if those responsible for this operation who are still in the cia or n.s.a. are not given medals for what they've done. that's a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days probably later and up to the minute reports falls on twitter or facebook. the russian state television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are getting information.
