the anti terror operation in egypt with the facts on the table through the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of defense we gave a clear and tough warning to our west and not to play with fire but. ok was the words there let's go live to a correspondent on the court to. scaring up for why now. well as you said the stage is just about set for the battle of ten thousand terrorists have gathered there prepared to go head to head with the syrian military the russian defense ministry says that the jihad ists are preparing for a staged chemical attack to blame on assad's government and that they've already received several shipments of chlorine a core of the chemical chlorine but the u.s. state department has actually entirely ruled this out they say that the possibility of a staged chemical attack is just not possible. the russians are claiming now and this one another group stockpiling chemical weapons and planning an attack and you know i think that's more false flag type reporting time going to be as a seen that before when you try to play the blame they try to put the onus on other groups and we don't bu

yeah and this is one more sign from moscow that this is imminent the ministry of defense has said that from september the first to the eighth there will be a military exercises taking place in the mediterranean sea now these exercises are going to be involving twenty five ships from various different parts of the russian navy also thirty aircraft are going to be taking place taking part in this including long range for t.v. bombers and other assorted military jets except for now when the kremlin was asked whether this was connected with the situation in syria particularly with the situation in libya to be true peskov said well the syrian situation has substantial escalation potential he then went on to say so basically extra precautions are quite justified and grounded hinting that yes this was connected to the defense ministry after say have have distanced themselves from that suggest and they are saying that it is not connected fraud to the situation in syria but i think many people believe that when that indeed of course will come back to you or you know once the foreign minister st
