analysis we've seen analysis that for example the latest chemical attack in dumas in april after which there was a strike by u.k. the united states and france against syrian military targets. even the o.p.c. w. hadn't you know conducted anything good. but at the time they said there's been an attack on the syrian forces taking over dumas would eliminate evidence and the o p c w report is not going to do anything now they based their assumptions on social media reports which they believe to be true and the syrian government whatever the syrian government did even though they called for the u.b.c. the beauty of investigators immediately the assumed that the syrian government is going to destroy evidence this is already passage which so if such. an organization becomes a tool with people and with states who already have passed judgment against the door that's they'd say for example the scripts case as well then that's going to be pretty much dangerous at the end of the day this is an agreement. and members of that organization the o.p.c. w. that is members of that organization they've ent

we played against the duma eleven years ago i took part then also however we lost badly and now the fee for world cup championship is a good opportunity for us to get a second chance and i think it's good when parliaments meet each other at the personal level as well. the art world is having its first encounter with cryptocurrency is a work by the pop artist and the war hold is being auctioned using block chain technology investors will be able to make bids using crypto currency and will coat the work block chain technology has also been to. here in russia while the experts and innovators met in russia's version of silicon valley skolkovo to raise important issues surrounding the future of bloc tree. i was there for. russian block chain week one of the longest running washington events of the year in moscow let's see what these innovators are up to here in russia. russian block chain we began on a historical day in the country and almost unanimous passing of a draft official cryptocurrency legislation at the state duma the lower the fine structure of currencies and tokens as property an

official delegations have also been welcomed members of the german bundestag and the russian state duma played a friendly match in one of moscow's central parts a team russia won five to three with both men and women playing against the germans . managed to speak with the vice president of the bundestag thomas opperman about the. i consider the issue gesture to boycott this event would fundamentally wrong people it's a sporting event which millions of people around the world are looking forward to it we want to demonstrate that a sporting a match can also be an anchor point for political negotiations the chancellor has said that good relations with russia are in germany strategic interests and the majority of people in germany think so as well as. i am sure that germany will manage to get into a semifinal and if they manage to do that they will probably get into the final i think that we have a good team formed by york you know so i am optimistic to mention you. we played against the duma eleven years ago i took part then also however we lost badly and now the fee for world cup champion

held as captives and at us human shields and what we see is when when there is light in the case of duma the terrorists left in the green buses and they went north with little helmets followed the one helmets went with them so the white helmets are inseparable from the terrorists and what we've heard and what we've seen is they are carrying out terrorist activities themselves the figure is being talked about they're quite extraordinary when you look into it because there's another two hundred million dollars in aid that was frozen do you think it will not be released to syria. yes no no doubt that i will end up in the hands of al qaeda and probably isis again i mean this is supposed to be a volunteer force much of the even the equipment that they're alleged to have used has been either donated or stolen from the real serious civil defense which is an established organization going back to the one nine hundred sixty s. registered with the international body that looks after civil defense units across the world. though that real civil defense has become a target of the white helmets their

about one thousand nine hundred five when you get this are making some concessions then you have the dumas and i think you were moving towards the rule of law you know you have these stablished an independent bar you have elected representatives even though these are increasingly manipulated the franchise to get more and more conservative monarchists in the duma but then the soviet union blew that out of the water even in new york adamic work i think there is. a bit more understanding of the complexities of this country than. we would normally expect from american scholars because some of them do come. with a degree of what russia is supposed to do and where it's failing i wonder how challenging do you find this balance between. looking at your own country and this country. with an open mind i guess a degree of compassion i don't know that i find it challenging work it's challenging is trying to get other people to listen to and accept your work there are certain narratives. that it's difficult to break out from my work the idea that stalin could have been interested in democracy has hit a

starting to arrive in russia also members of the german bundestag for example in the russian state duma played a friendly match from one of moscow's central parks team russia one that one five three these the other highlights with both men and women playing against the germans we spoke to one of those who played in the game alexander she coffin's the deputy chair of the russian state duma and this is what he said. russia has repeatedly proved to the world that it can host the biggest tournament to the highest standard they were and saw that at the sochi olympics which were hailed as one of the best if not the best in the history of the winter games by the i.o.c. and the international sporting community and now in a few days the fee for world cup is starting i really hope that it will also be one of the best in history but at least those stadiums in their beautiful host cities packed with many fans from all across the world who show how friendly russia is and how well it can host internationals past events your idea was that brings us to the end of the bulletin that's how the news is loo

most heated debates the most recent suspected chemical attack occurred two months ago in the city of duma we saw images of frantic rescue efforts the hosing down the victims children included however in a war involving multiple states and actors almost nothing can be taken at face value arguments over the authenticity of the footage the credibility of the analysis the motives and flaws in the reporting have been intense and ongoing to call this an information war is to sell it short it's a news and information store and trying to navigate through it is far from easy listening posts minox arriving now on the seeming in possibility of understanding one of the most contentious aspects of the syrian war the use of chemical weapons yes. on a story as contentious as the war in syria where in addition to bullets claims and counterclaims fly across battle lines and where numerous chemical attacks have thrown up serious questions over what evidence from the war zone can be trusted it is doubly important to consider the source for this story reinterviewed rania holic a journalist reporting on the u

the country and almost unanimous passing of a draft official cryptocurrency legislation at the state duma the lower the fine structure of currencies and tokens of property and lays out specific ations for interacting with crypto and related technologies however not all that was clear in many elements raise some eyebrows like giving in your wallets private keys to the government. and timothy ross some of the more prominent international block chain and fin tech lawyers gave us their take the problem of the legislature that we have been seeing was that they were all and it taking a different direction. each authority was trying to protect its fear and not really listen to this collaboration shows this. very important also very important. international experience and people never else where. i have to give my. private grief wallet to the government. to make it clear no one no one will ever do it so it means that we creating the law that no one will follow no matter the legislation the block chain innovators were going full swing in skolkovo like these guys from hollywood point were disruptin

vice president thomas opperman and also xander as you call off the deputy chair of the russian state duma who took part in a. russia has repeatedly proved to the world that it can host the biggest tournament to the highest standard ever and saw that at the sochi olympics which were hailed as one of the best if not the best in the history of the winter games by the i.o.c. and the international sporting community and now in a few days the world cup is starting i really hope that it will also be one of the best in history but at least those stadiums in their beautiful host cities packed with many fans from all across the world will show how friendly russia is and how well it can host international sporting events i consider the issue gesture to boycott this event fundamentally wrong before it's a sporting event but millions of people around the world are looking forward to it we want to demonstrate that a sporting match can also be an anchor point for political negotiations the chancellor has said that good relations with russia are in germany strategic interests the majority of people in ge

perhaps by the way, less than the duma.ration bill must have the full funding for the wall in catch and release. visa lottery and chain migration and go to merit-based immigration. the president assured voters in 2016 in the campaign that there co-would be no amnesty. that he would secure the border and build the wall. paul ryan has declared he wants open borders. unrestricted immigration and has opposed president trump at almost every turn in his short time in office. and he has betrayed the president in almost every opportunity presented. now this is the pivotal moment for the republican party and perhaps for this president as well. if ryan and his rinos have broken the president's promise to build the wall, if ryan and his rinos have their way on open borders and continue chain migration at any level. any form of lottery visas, further deceives the president and his voters. ryan will have betrayed the president and his party and most of certainly would have destroyed the republican chance of holding the majority in the h

duma loughnane frankfurt with the era of cheap money coming to a close in the eurozone i asked her how it's going down in the markets. well the markets are actually reacting pretty positively although it has to be said that the end of crisis era stimulus was something that was expected now european stocks went up on the reason on this news it appears that the markets quite liked this middle ground between an aggressive and accommodating stance that the e.c.b. has fallen by saying for example it will wrap up bond buying by the end of the year while signaling interest rates will stay at a historic low for probably longer than projected now the e.c.v. already also indicated that the door was open to future intervention as it said in the wording of the. it was and dissipated that the tapering would have been after september and. moves would be subject to incoming data incoming data of course that could be affected by any of the challenge and stays in the euro zone today like italy's spending plans or the threat of a threat of a trade war but that caution embedded in this statement was some

arrives for the big match mentally preparing themselves to face their counterparts from the russian duma but expectations. doesn't get one tick in the we've been burned before. last time in berlin eleven years ago we lost by double digits. so we have to concentrate very hard this time around and prepare ourselves so we can keep our dignity and play well he who should be in couldn't of the help with. minutes before kick off to do much the ms full of confidence. there you are can see i'm looking forward to an interesting game set ball is always an emotional sport i'm expecting a fair match especially now in the run up to the world cup this is kind of like the opening games to much that creates. a photo first then the game begins. the russians go on the offensive from the beginning winning the one on ones and taking the lead early the german goalkeeper doesn't stand a chance i was a few minutes later the russian school the second go i the germans finally put one into the net with a penalty shot but they're still trailing the russians two two on the hosts and trancing the guests five to thre

well we heard from the chairman of the russian state duma he opened the conference welcoming legislators from around the world and when he spoke he specifically called out the economic sanctions described them as basically an attempt to you know bully countries around the world into doing what the usa wants and from there he actually said that this shows that russia needs to strengthen the eurasian economic union and try to work with other countries around the world to kind of overwhelm and are overcome while what's being what's being pushed by the united states furthermore many countries emphasize that the continued use of sanctions by u.s. leaders shows the need to build up the brics and the alternative bodies that are emerging in the global economy and that basically as countries see the usa impose these tariffs and and sanctions and different things that this shows that basically countries need to start trading with each other there needs to be more of what you might call a. you know just just just kind of you know countries trading with each other and not depending on the united sta

recently it's had rather a lot of work on its hands in recent months there was that chemical attack in duma and also the poisoning of the former russian spy sergei script and his daughter yulia back in march that took place here on british soil and westminster blamed moscow for it so the u.k. was particularly keen to spearhead this initiative in order to sort of further efforts to apportion blame for incidents like the one in seoul's very earlier this year and going into that vote the russian side had said that it considers the proposal self-defeating it was against it because they said it gives western countries the ability to influence decision making within the organization and essentially to manipulate its opinion so for russia china syria and the countries that voted along with those countries this widening of powers they said they didn't want the technical experts becoming the prosecutors at the same time but the vote has taken place it's been decided that the chemical weapons watchdog will have these new naming and shaming powers although it's not yet clear how exactly those new powe

wanted an experienced driver so they chose to time them on champion form on dumas. by speaking some seem completely at the peak that you're not used to decide to do it as a cornell is very very very dangerous so it's a race you have to respect. by hot guys when smith says there's no gravity gators so the driver has to learn the course from self we developed a simulation course for him to for a month ago and has won the pikes peak race three times i think he's the right choice for us in the middle mother must hold office that. the track wasn't always craved like it is today when you know he planned and drove this race in a v.w. golf in the one nine hundred eighty s. there were still a lot of rough spots. because the client says they were there in one thousand nine hundred five eighty six and eighty seven he still has great memories of those races there's nothing like it and he's been driving for a long time i guess peak is definitely one of the highlights you start and two thousand eight hundred metres in and up of course thousand. three hundred sixty it was a huge c

these are increasingly manipulated the franchise to get more and more conservative monarchists in the duma but then the soviet union blew that out of the water even in new york adamic mark i think there is. a bit more understanding of the complexities of this country than. we would normally expect from american scholars because some of them do come. with a degree of what russia is supposed to do and where it's failing i wonder how challenging do you find balance between looking in looking at your own country and of this country. with an open mind i guess a degree of compassion i don't know that i find it challenging work it's challenging is trying to get other people to listen to and accept your work there are certain narratives. that it's difficult to break out from my work the idea that stalin could have been interested in democracy has hit a wall with a lot of people you know a lot of comments you know stalin was a dictator the u.s.s.r. was to challenge cherry and it was really a ruse. look at the one nine hundred thirty seven repression and even you know within academia there's this yo

what is it actually going to do for the environment and actual terms i was appointed by the state duma especially you present your representative for the state doing man that whole international game is asian that you got into sport and i. went to the. u.n. and talked to the people who responded was that listen i think it's. the sports and then i don't want to bring the people together save the walton you assume that you from the brochure have to be focused to. what they're supposed to fight all together. i'm not question i my idea was born ten years ago with the play there on how to game in north fall. before my fifty's because then things got to didn't happen because when i mentioned this idea to the people who just passed before make a decision and then i met. him. i was. responsible. for the amount of months i said listen i got a year so it was great let me take you know it's got the monster to talk to good people who are supposed to be a part of the. game and. all of sudden a few months later he came to my school and they give me and i still stay tell him my answer was huge on the

isn't always vetoing these things but of course it has cast doubt on some of the allegations about duma honshu including of course particularly the surrogates cripple the poisoning case in saul's period in britain earlier this year so there's always going to be political dispute over this and there's always going to be never be one hundred percent certainty about who did these things because it's one thing to say that a certain weapon was used or even well the origin of that weapon was but people can get access to these things relatively easily serve even if something is proved to be coming from a particular country it doesn't follow that country's government is necessary to blame for allowing it to happen. and still international affairs commentator thanks for joining us here with your take on that and asked. well that's it for myself on the team here at all for this hour do join us again shortly for the latest global news headlines and of course all special woke up twenty eighteen full coverage. that is female like let me see yes. yes yes. i'm. twenty eight team coverage we've signed
