believes were responsible for the poisoning of the script files that they traveled under the names of bashir of petrol of all the ones that czech government now believes were responsible for these partly responsible for the explosion in 2014 so a web of activity spanning the best part of a decade that many western agencies many western governments now think is pinpointed to the specific units of russian military intelligence where we were was the case of sergei script all left back in 28 saying i wonder where this will go now after these developments. well legally it's still happening because the agents came in and left and went back to russia so they are still in russia and the u.k. has not been able to get them in front of a u.k. jury or judge that is likely because burnet was saying there with regards to the czech republic it's not likely to happen because they're never likely to leave russia or again diplomatically it will be very interesting to see whether the czech republic can marshal the same kind of coordinated response to this the u.k. was able to do in 2018 following this the pois

obviously the names of and bashir of are not the real names now western intelligence agencies believe these 2 men their real identities are alexander michigan and anatoly topeka and they are to g r u agents operatives etc d.g. are you being the russian military intelligence and that they come from a particular units to 9155 and this unit is the kind of by snow the russian action man unit that's prepared to go and carry out various dirty deeds around the place including an up to what the russians call wet work which which is killing and that these western intelligence intelligence agencies have now have now kind of pieced together some sort of picture of this unit's activities which are extensive in europe over most of the last decade and they include destabilization campaign in moldova an attempted coup in montenegro you've got the script pole poisonings in the united kingdom and you've now got these explosions in the czech republic in 2014 probably those were links to what the russians were trying to do which was thwart the flow of weapons from the czech republic through a. garion ar

southeast of prague in 2014 these same 2 men traveling under the name of alexander petro russell on bashir of with the same man wanted by the british intelligence services for the attempted murder of former russian spy or. scripture and his daughter yulia back in solsbury in 28 so that is where the russians are at the moment they're planning their retaliation they say against the czechs in k. thank you bernard smith in moscow and as promised we go to reach chalons now in london barrios hi rory so the link is the 2 men or at least the names isn't it. yeah obviously the names of and bashir of are not the real names now western intelligence agencies believe these 2 men their real identities are alexander. chip eager and mission alexander mission and anatoly to peak and they are to g q agents operatives etc d.g. are you being the russian military intelligence and that they come from a particular unit to 9155 and this unit is the kind of guys know the russian action man units that are prepared to go and carry out various dirty deeds around the place including an up to what the russians call wor

2018 back then london released their identities their names were alexander petroff and roussillon bashir all right so now when the authorities said that these 2 could be linked to that explosion immediately their names and photos were back and international headlines but the russian foreign ministry though is saying that these announcements and these steps that are taken by the czech authorities could only be a deliberate attempt to somehow distract the attention of the media and the international community from another story which is now in the news here in eastern europe. it looks like when it's actually supported by facts that the west need it to cover up the importance of the information published by both russia and belarus about not just a conspiracy but an actual plan for a constitutional clue. and here we need to speak about it so a coup was allegedly being planned against the leader of the roost what more do we actually know about this this is a story apparently that was happening more or less taney is the the russian federal security service has announced lately that they have d

bashir if so right now with this news with these announcements coming from the czech authorities the czech authorities said that the 2 men were linked to these explosions and immediately their photos and names were back in international headlines but the russian foreign ministry though is saying that by trying to spin this story and by making their announcements and the decisions that prague is making right now. the russian foreign ministry believes that this is only an attempt to distract attention from another big news story that is now important here in eastern europe it looks like an attack she supported by facts that the west needed to cover up the importance of the information published by both russia and belarus about not just a conspiracy but an actual plan for a constitutional. a quite extraordinary story so a coup was being allegedly planned for bella roosts in the midst of all this yes this is a different story but again a very important part very very important story for this region the russian federal security service has recently announced that they detained 2 men one o

coming because czech police say they are also looking for 2 russian citizens alexander petroff and bashir off who were in the country around the time of the explosions the u.k. sees them as the prime suspects in the script pearl case what do you make of the. well i didn't see this evidence it has not been presented really to us so what i can assume is that it also is just handy to present the suspects because they had already been presented they were already in the mind in the consciousness of public. due to the couldn't park case and the case in itself has never been really. explained has never been really presented to us with sound evidence. has just gone by it has just. gotten out of the focus of international media reporting but the final evidence has never been presented also in that case so. if it is just. us i would say fighting between your political opponents with no real backing real in terms of real evidence we have no chance really to find out what is behind we are bound to those narrators we are presented in the media it's really hard to judge right or thanks very much for co

various stories that 2 persons were poisoned and one of them was killed a full month after petroff and bashir up and left the p.c. in a completely different tone in the u.k. so how could these deadly while that they somehow left supposedly left. how could it not be it wasn't there in the whole body remember what their future peroration the british police and special services had that and then in 4 months in books out in another town and poisons other people and now we have these bizarre story. in the czech republic where basically the only the only kind of a lot trickle sequence of events that. are wrong there check is that these 2 people wearing the czech republic at the time of the export in which 2 people accidentally germany just to briefly touch on relations on a geopolitical level know probably going to moscow what's the situation going to be like between the. well traditionally we've had good relations you know in the czech republic there are fewer actually traditionally there were fewer rules for forbes than in poland and in other east european countries russia you know account to che
