with regards to solve three and secondly russia provided proof that novacek was produced and payton to in the u. s. as a chemical weapon back in two thousand nine hundred fifteen me that russia will not accept any national or international results of any investigation without access to full information including materials from the british probe without consular access to our citizens and most importantly without the obligatory participation of russian experts in all actions to establish the truth that happened in saul's on march the fourth so to clarify the situation to date there is no definitive independent evidence that basically points to the fact that the thought came from russia or indeed that the kremlin ordered that attack in solve and so from the russian perspective the lack of evidence as they see it is being widely ignored by the wider community some analysts we heard from so even though the u.k.'s position has weakened somewhat london is unlikely to backtrack on its allegations against russia. can't see how they can they can rescind what they've already said because particu

officials later revealed that the pair had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent named novacek

as far as reports about novacek nerve agent production in the surrounding region are concerns london is from sickly looking for confirmation of its unsubstantiated position. furthermore one major u.k. newspaper ran a sensational headline based on anonymous sources saying that they did pinpointed the production of novacek to the outskirts of moscow here jacqueline who picks up on but story the screwball case on explosive twist earlier this week when experts at porton down revealed they couldn't determine where the nerve agent was made a u.k. military law is stunned but we're not the media and their sources have it covered. the times' has revealed its sources believe that they have pinpointed the facility where the military grade nerve agent was made and surprise surprise it's in russia the sun isn't certain but says it's near moscow so it is not one hundred percent certain about the location but highly confident i'm convinced about you their sources say that the yeltsin of a lab is one of a handful in the world that can produce nova chuck the sun has exclusively uncovered a moscow sub

can comment but it did state that it supports the ukase conclusions about the use of the novacek nerve agent be said which the fs which scientists allegedly found in the samples is a toxic powder that was developed by the us military back in the one nine hundred fifty s. let me tell you more about it moscow says bees it is a weapon that could be in the hands of the u.k. or u.s. but one that again crucially it doesn't have the u.k. was quick to blame moscow for the attack consoles because claiming that novacek solve it origin must be a clear indicator of russia's guilt and the international chemical weapons watchdog said in that no controversial report that it supported britain's findings concerning the identity of the substance mortgagee of takes a closer look at this growing and complicated controversy. there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible the juveniles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less than a movie chock sounds russian means russi

during a march interview room you argue that their source of farthest north edge and novacek is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly that's driven by says samples of these look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down the the. they have the samples you do and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no dogs johnson in the foreign office is stressing they see no contradiction between those statements and the latest results from british chemical weapons experts you e.s.p. pal is now reported to be recovering from the attack her father sergei is still in critical condition and relations between the west and russia and now at their lowest point since the cold war. russians forest russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that london cannot ignore moscow's legitimate questions over the script all investigation which should i stress that we will continue to react adequately to unfriendly steps but at the same time we want to find the truth we insist on an objective responsible investigat

government lab have porton down had identified it as novacek very soon off to this script files were taken five weeks ago novacek originally developed in the soviet union by soviet scientists in the late eighty's so the summary that we've got confirms the u.k. labs identification it also says that its conclusion is based on the work of four independent laboratories around the world they all came to the same results are and they also know that the nerve agent was a high purity and what we've got to see is just this executive summary there is a deep are supplied reports where. it's said that the nerve agent is nay and that's been sent to all the countries that a party to the chemical weapons convention russia is of course a member and moscow has already confirmed that it's received its coffee of it what the summary doesn't mention is where the novacek came from and by the way the head of that ukraine the forestry holton down has also said that he can't confirm where the nerve agent came from the u.k. has already called for a un security council meeting following the o.p.c. w. report an

agent called novacek on the fourth of march now this incident has caused mayhem across the globe and you could almost say that it was the catalyst for already increased tensions between russia and britain in particular. there have been consequences to this event before the investigation started and immediately after the attack the finger was pointed at russia as the perpetrator almost implying that both so gay and nuclear were not going to make it through this ordeal russia has denied any involvement and has stuck to that and even asked for a joint investigation which was denied and refused by the british authorities now that diplomatic mattick route did spiral britain expelled twenty three russian diplomats russia retaliated to that expelling the same number and spread to the european partners and the u.s. as well and they also expelled a number of diplomats from those countries. now the results came out after an investigation at porton down lab and the results were that there was no definitive evidence as to where that nerve agent came from so you can see what was happening there t

novacek in russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly but when i look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said as they dodged well it seems that all of that was going well until yesterday when the chief executive of porton down came out and said that not only were the scientists not able to prove.

edge and novacek is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly that was driven by says sample something else when i look at the the evidence from the people from from porton down the the borough they have the samples you do and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said as they don't. say as you just heard they have did say they do they do have a samples of this night agent now boris johnson has come under fire in the u.k. for these comments the opposition party is basically accused of shooting from the hip and being too too strong there's too saying by contrast the reason may the prime minister's been a lot more careful she said that it's highly likely that russia is involved either in that it was at the attack or perhaps lost control of its nervous nerve agents. not that he's even in the past are only pointed the finger. pointing the attack something that clearly hasn't been verified as a good point earlier today in the u.k. police released a public statement from yulia scrip all she and her father the former russian

as the group of toxic agents known under the umbrella term novacek we first came across them in open sources back in two thousand and seven that's when the publication was made in the us when multitude of formulas were included with as many as six to talk six agents than it's of them was assigned an index in the chemical expert system so they're all available in open sources these formulas and no secret. if it's really not the chalk we're dealing with here i must say it's no real problem to synthesize such a toxic agent all the components needed to easily available on the open market the synthesis doesn't call for particular sophisticated procedures and it chemist specializing in organic chemistry would be able to make it. because when we have zero information and what toxic agent we're dealing with that is still possible to identify it applying a lot of resources and the process is likely to take a few weeks according to british authorities their experts were able to do so very quickly so i assume the british chemists already had samples of such toxic agents at their disposal so tha

defense science and technology laboratory at portadown made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia. that's embarrassing alright keep calm first google back on your word and just to be sure delete any old tweets then riposte experts who say the opposite of what you said our experts have precisely identified in their region as novacek it is not and has never been our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent now pretend that nothing happened which is hard to do in the end to that really the brits ended up having to explain themselves and conveniently scapegoated the poor fellow who transcribed the briefing one of the tweets was truncated and did not accurately report her master's words we removed this tweet you remember what i said about scapegoating he really did but barge johnson himself had said almost the same thing said it's on video you argue that their source of is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence i mean the people from from portland they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy my

though it was quick to blame russia for the attack naming the novacek nerve agent initially developed in the soviet union the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w confirm those findings as well more i guess to have takes a closer look at the allegations being leveled at russia there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less the name nuvi chalk sounds russian means russia did it establish that it is not a chalk and that is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points made there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last few weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military specialists and hear their biggest gripes. the nuvi nerve agents a new she crit they haven't been so in decades here they are exerts from the books and studies available to the public ne

johnson himself had said almost the same thing said it's on video you argue that their source of novacekis russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence i mean the people from from porton dollars. they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt wouldn't want to be in their shoes right about now yet they did find a way around it a simple statement saying that boris johnson didn't mean it like that with the foreign secretary said then and what putin donna said recently is fully consistent with what we've said throughout having taken things so far so far they can't afford to do a u. turn this investigation could end in two ways with proof of russia's guilt or with an uncomfortable silence and hope that everyone forgets until then boris keep doing what you do every day you're going to walk the finger on exactly. the opposite we are russian production. is that. russia. is not isolated case. of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians russian russia russia russian russian

has been known since one thousand nine hundred eight if you look at google peyton's and search for novacek you can find more than one hundred matches in the us alone was. well for more on that meeting let's cross live now to r.t. samir a car in washington why there samaritan so this all happened after the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. said it was unable to identify the source of the nerve agent used to poison the proposals so could you then tell us what followed. well the u.k. called for this security council meeting to discuss the o.p.c. w.'s latest findings now the british ambassador was the first to speak and even though the o.p.c. w. didn't assign blame or a specify the chemical origin she declared with absolute certainty that russia was behind the crime saying quote there is no plausible alternative explanation then russian state responsibility for what happened and then the o.p.c. w.-a seem to implicitly parrot the british government's narrative. no other d.s. tales analysis nor the b.c.w.s. report identifies the control of the origin of the agencies in this attack t

side seriously they make novacek we make light say. one is a hideous weapon specifically designed for assassination the others of an implausible theatrical project with a mysterious buzzing pygmy would know many but perhaps not the entire truth or if machine was they identified the substance very quickly which would mean with absolute certainty that porton down has the substance which it could compare structures samples with not so we innocent of the rule put in down has its secrets published no way that and a feeling like that would never have come from us or you know believe the four walls of our facilities would you say to the the the theory that it's this is somehow a british operation and you've waited out of the door. certainly isn't anything that came from our facility because as i said we've got the highest standards of control and security and there's no way that anything like that could ever have come from portland and the we. may have the samples you do it's not a secret you can literally google step by step instructions on

defense science and technology laboratory at porton down made clear that this was a military grade novaceknerve agent produced in russia we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is but to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that well that's embarrassing alright keep calm first goo back on your word and just to be sure delete any old tweets then that riposte experts who say the opposite of what you said our experts have precisely identified in their region as novacek it is not and has never been our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent now pretend that nothing happened which is hard to do in the end to that really the brits ended up having to explain themselves and conveniently scapegoated the poor fellow who transcribed the briefing one of the tweets was truncated and did not accurately report her master's words we've removed this tweet you re

laboratory at portadown made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia now a couple of days before that war is johnson the u.k. foreign secretary also said that there is no doubt that russia was behind what happened you argue that their source of shock is russia how did you manage to find that out so quickly when i look at the the evidence from the people from from port and they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt well it seems that all of that was going well until when the chief executive of porton down came out and said that not only were the scientists not able to prove that the nerve agent came from russia but generally speaking they didn't know what the source was we have not verified pfieffer say source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular nerve agent is there to be clear you're not able it gotten down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able

world leading experts at the board tory at porton down made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia and indeed we checked and double checked and triple checked that tweet is no longer around so certainly this is going to be continuing to raise lots of questions in london because again of the seriousness of the allegations that have been made and now these. very contradictory statements that are being released and it has to be said that even the labor party have now said that they're basically challenging boris johnson to explain himself on this matter so but a backpedaling going on all the tweets been deleted so somebody done a screen grab of a cached version of something to put out there. westminster thanks very much. takes an in-depth look at the conclusions reached by the british politicians and the media. scotland yard said it first they need. this was a professional assassination attempt whoever did it made sure to leave as few traces as possible and it was a geisha of this complexity and size will understandable take some time and we ask for the

it it didn't make it into the initial headlines from the o p c w or we heard was it was a group of novacek agents not be said so why was that missing do you think in the headline that was made public to everybody else. we have to remember that the u.k. actually invited the specialists for technical assistance so as soon as this is assistance first. the u.k. asked to do something the specialists and second there is a confidentiality agreement between the u.k. in. so which means that cannot release the information without authorization from the u.k. so always saying therefore behind the scenes in this detailed report that's available to everyone including the u.k. actually says be talks it was identified not so why isn't the newquay coming out and saying well. first of all i believe that the u.k. made a mistake. by releasing these detailed report to the other state parties to the can be. why because the more information is released the more questions will be to duty just just to clarify as well it's only traces of this with oratory found along with i believe nova chucks as well so again it i

can address that claim it added that it's in no doubt that porton down identified novacek b.'s ed which is what we're talking about now which is allegedly found in the samples as an incapacitating toxin developed by the u.s. military back of the nineteen fifties it comes in the form of a white crystalline powder it can cause confusion sight problems and disorientation besides not thought to have ever been manufactured here in russia or in the soviet union before it now the u.k. was quick of course to blame russia for the attack on a former spy and his daughter pointing out that the novacek nerve agent was first developed in the soviet union the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. said it supported britain's findings concerning the identity of the substance but it didn't specifically name the nerve agent takes a closer look at this whole controversy there was no trial no discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment is highly likely that russia was responsible we do polls russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the

world leading experts at the porton down the board tory made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia so now this tweet is gone and this is certainly raising lots of questions about why are these things changing so quickly including on twitter we have seen already as these developments have been coming in reactions on the social media where some people have been calling for boris johnson to resign we do know that the labor party the opposition party here in the u.k. has been saying that challenging boris johnson to really answer the questions over . what exactly it is that he was talking about and to explain himself including from the labor party leader jeremy corbyn who said that this is quite inconsistent and questions that need to be answered so certainly lots of developments will see what will be happening next. scotland yard said it first they need time this was a professional assassination attempt whoever did it made sure to leave as few traces as possible and it was a geisha or this complexity and size will understandable take some time and we ask
