all right well the regime began this offensive in eastern guta and february and as you've been saying this is not the first time that rebels are accusing the us and regime that using chemical weapons what is different this time around. well according to the regime there ever a point of view is that this is all a fabrication and rebellion propaganda not just because the rebels are losing ground and every time the regime is winning an area rebels come up with such allegations but essentially to significant because the rebels and are asking for international support and now it is on the international community to see what they will do essentially the united states how they are going to respond to this it is also significant because gesture islam which is the dominant group on the ground according to their own media group and according to syrian regime media is a media channel and the final round of negotiations have begun so with this final assault to say now whether if i don't know whether legit or not will this then finally lead to a solution on duma city and in a way sort of help thou

deal said was that rebel fighters and their families were going to evacuate from duma from eastern guta and be given safe passes to a part of syria further north russian military police were then going to take control of the area maintain law and order there but effectively the eastern goods of dubai. it was going to be passing into the control of the syrian government so that's essentially what we're being told is happening right now russian military police are on the ground according to the russian defense ministry what this means of course is that when chemical weapons inspectors from the o.p.c. w. arrived in duma to investigate this expected gas attack that took place over the weekend they're going to be operating in an area that is fully in control or fully controlled by the russian military police and the syrian government and of course what that means or want many in the west in western capitals and in the armed opposition movement suspect is that what chemical weapons will therefore find will broadly suit the perspective of moscow and of damascus and that is the narrative of a b

evidence that proves that great britain was involved in the organization of this provocation in eastern guta which. it's a blatant lie it's the worst piece of fake news we've yet seen from the russian propaganda machine. with a vengeance but with a difference the mechanisms of the safeguards to manage the risks of escalation that existed in the past no longer seem to be present. so russia says it has proof that last weekend's poison gas attack in syria was staged on orders from britain the russian defense ministry says london told the white helmets rescue group in syria to fake the gas attack in the town of britain has described the accusation as a blatant lie in. chemical weapons inspectors are expected. on saturday. it is almost a week since their cries shocked the world suffocated syrian children gasping for air among the hundreds of victims of a suspected poison gas attack allegedly carried out by their government backed by russia. now comes the explosive claim from moscow that the attack was the work of britain. but. make sure that it is putting your issues go your mcgillis to me it's a
