april may of two thousand and fourteen we waited and went through all the reports i've met with the opi study inspectors you know that's a multilateral inspection group includes russian inspectors includes american included kluges i don't know fifteen or twenty different nationalities in the in the inspectorate and then when the joint investigative mechanism was set up a year later in two thousand and fifteen to try to look at accountability in other words try to find out who was to blame for these different attacks it was clear to me after the fact finding mission reports and the gym reports the joint investigative mechanism from the united nations that these were. very accurate very storrow reports and i was convinced i still read them very thoroughly i meet with the inspectors i'm a skeptic i'm for i'm in the non-governmental community and green cross is trying to maintain objectivity here but we want these attacks to to stop wherever they if it's britain or whether it's syria or iraq and we and we also want for proof can i just seize on that because you say you want to full proof yo

of command that what i was about to say earlier though is remember we're in a war zone here and the opi study inspectorate which has existed since one thousand nine hundred ninety seven has inspected you know the the safe and sound destruction of over sixty nine thousand metric tons of live agent in the majority of a. in russia lodge amount in the united states and in in six other countries. you know they've been very accurate they're very experienced very well trained but the entrance into syria in two thousand and thirteen after syria signed the chemical weapons convention was the very first time that they had to measure themselves for bullet proof vests and actually face potential life and death situation so we're dealing with a very difficult inspection situation nobody can get on site to any of these alleged chemical weapons attacks the days afterward. sometimes weeks afterward this also it's of off options opportunities for these for the data for the the photographs for the videos for the evidence to be manipulated or staged i totally agree with that but if you read the f.m. repor

a resolution proposed by russia for how the opi c.w. would conduct investigations was voted down vetoed by the united states a resolution proposed by the united states was also on able to pass vetoed by russia so at the u.n. security council no clear point of agreement could be reached and as the o.p.c. w. inspectors were on their way to syria no clear mission for what they would do there was clarified at this point the o.p.c. w. inspectors have been offered the protection of the russian military as they go to syria to find out what's going on the russian military and in the russian resolution it was pushed that they actually visit the site of the alleged attack and find out the truth about what's going on however it's not clear what the o.p.c. w. will be doing as the u.n. security council could not reach a consensus on that matter at this point as we hear different voices from the usa we see one thing on trump's twitter page we hear all options on the table from the white house we hear from the state department and the secretary of def

and worried about the whole civil war in syria today i can't judge whether these and i don't think opie seven inspectors judge either whether these photos are. extremely accurate or could have been manipulated i would assume some of them clearly could have been easily manipulated manipulated foam coming from the mouth you just don't know sometimes foam is extreme in us like dilated pupils two or constricted pupils as well the eyes that you just don't know when the photos were taken how long the body was the poor child of the individual is dead it's very difficult and that's why i say we can't make any judgments on these attacks based on photos of that nature we we clearly know at some point somebody was hit with some sort of a chemical they look like they were victims of chemical warfare no other wounds on the body at all but we can even tell that because they're fully clothed it could be they could have been requote so i'm just saying we need multiple sources of information to prove these cases and in the in the dozen a so cases that the gym in the a fact finding. mechanism from a miss

important here to north the western countries i mean american ex-pats they can't say on one hand that opie c.w. is filings and become allies because the russians have been on the ground and at the same time at the same time sort of say that russia is stopping the o.p.c. w. from finding out from pinning responsibility on people if russia would have cleaned up the site then why should they be in a sense afraid of our it's a logical question why should the russians be afraid of what we see to be finding out who is behind the chemical attack so having said that it should be important to find out what the findings of this team are going to be the results will be a winnable in a week or perhaps it would take a month it does give the diplomatic of it as issues around the world a bit of time to understand what's happening to have enough evidence before this strike happens because remember this is not just america strike hitting syria but we've had a russia u.s. face off so it's perhaps advisable to have more evidence in your hands before such a strike you are considering that faceoff you just ment

take weeks if not months and we know that the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the opi c w r. conducting an investigation and some kind of examinations of their own which russia is still waiting to hear some details about all right well. let's get a policeman's mind on this know peter cook a former u.k. police officers with peter were you there high wastes we spoke about this on the very day it happened a month ago now and i on isn't it. further forward are we in this investigation with your policeman's exploits man's hat on here is it going as you would like to see it conducted bearing in mind this news we've gotten from porton today saying world have not been able to trace it wasn't their remit they say so when are we going to get that. i suspect that the investigation is significantly further forward and we know the police in this country don't provide a running commentary on what they're doing they release information as and when there's some investigative need to do that so i suspect they're quite a way down the road of identifying people in and around souls free o

security council except it was the russians that said absolutely that the opi c.w. had to visit the site but of course it's the russians that have killed the joint investigative mechanism which was the previous mechanism for investigating allegations of chemical weapons use in syria that mechanism was allowed to attribute blame that weapons attack happened or not but yeah the russians and the syrian government control the area so it's up to them presumably what the season does rory thank you mean all the second general of nato has condemned what he calls the repeated use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime stoltenberg called the attack and a threat to international peace and security those responsible must be held accountable and we must do all we can to protect the national all the use of chemical weapons. there is no military solution to this conflict therefore need to fully supports the efforts led by the united nations to achieve a last thing a political solution to the call fixed in syria. britain's prime minister due to face questions on why she decided t

to reflect on it and a scientist sees secrets objective secrets you see the you have a nice city the opi even get anything on the fly and i think that a chemist who is not a mistake is not a real chemist he doesn't comprehend that the. while analyzing the mexican mushroom albert dared to perform another self experiment in doing so he and his team were able to isolate the active ingredient for the first time similar sidemen a chemical closely related to l.s.d. . data both and lost a loss and was delighted he clicked on it he told us he'd love to take us with him to mexico and show us this world wonders when that made him. so we went on that expedition to maz a tech country in the south that they cannot concede. the american took him to maria some being a highly respected healing woman in the land of the mines attacks the two researchers wanted to test their civil side been tablet's on her. in trade gordon my friend gordon explained to maria sabina that we had isolated the spirit of the mushroom he said he had taken its so she could carry out her ceremony with these pills. on house yes i d

a bombing would essentially hinder the work of the opi c.w. and could in effect conceal any evidence that could be gathered from the site now we also have an interesting statement from the u.s. state department had there nauert who represents the u.s. state department spokesperson she has said that the usa doesn't exactly know what went on there that now we do know that some sort of a substance was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was what used furthermore we've heard from the russian defense ministry and they say that they have sent their chemical experts to the site in dilma and that they just don't see the evidence that that attack even took place this is the russian ministry of defense hurt you but you're. after the influence russian experts the road to the site of the alleged chemical attack who took food samples. which showed there were no poison the substances the sea medical institution sure helmets footage of the storm from pollutions confirmed any victims or use of poison the substance is n

april may of two thousand and fourteen we waited and went through all the reports i've met with the opi study inspectors you know that's a multilateral inspection group includes russian inspectors includes american included kluges i don't know fifteen or twenty different nationalities in the in the inspectorate and then when the joint investigative mechanism was set up a year later in two thousand and fifteen to try to look at accountability in other words try to find out who was to blame for these different attacks it was clear to me after the fact finding mission reports in the gym reports the joint investigated . i can as i'm from the united nations that these were very accurate very storrow reports and i was convinced i still read them very thoroughly i meet with the inspectors i'm a skeptic i'm for i mean the non-governmental community in green cross is trying to maintain objectivity here but we want these attacks to to stop wherever they if it's britain or whether it's syria or iraq and we and we also want full proof can i just say that because you say you want a full proof you yo

but which remain unanswered pretty much russia even wrote an official mail an official letter to the opi c.w. those questions include some technical details that russia has inquired to the c.w. asking them what information the u.k. has passed to the un nobody regarding the investigation because this is something that london is refusing to share with moscow and whether or not the o.p.c. w. in turn will be sharing that with russia russia's been asking these questions since day one since this horrible incident took place where does russia hope to get any answers to any of these quest while in fact russia is hoping to get some answers as early as this wednesday because this is when the o.p.c. w. members are meeting and this is a summit initiated by russia so this is why sergei lavrov hopes to get at least something out of the u.n. body on wednesday. in the beauty of our british colleagues to answer the questions you want it's a work of fiction and be more specific provocation and so in general the russian foreign minister has expressed concern about the bloc of countries who seem to have agr

been basically squabbling over just how the investigation should go forward but i believe that the opi c.w. are sending offices that they're going to be. getting a military school from russian troops there to ensure their safety so they should return some information some facts once they've investigated that would be better more prudent to await to see their findings rather than rushing to military action . oh yes i think any form of independent investigation is much better than rushing into military action and you know if they are going in there that maybe some break on the military action i don't know trump is very unpredictable as everyone knows and who knows what he will do but certainly inspectors or investigators i guess we should call him in this case. that would be a good thing if they were going in there. let's say from the british ambassador there's a lot of talk at the u.n. security council but even from the u.k. let's hear what was said. can firstly by the two ing question has crossed a line in the international order. so strong words what exactly do you think the british a

being careful there the russians say that they destroyed their stockpiles of chemical weapons under opie c.w. supervision is that verifiable. and i mean i think we have to assume that they in other countries that have nuclear side biological and chemical weapons did not destroy them it would be surprising if they destroyed every sample of this as it would be surprising if countries other countries that didn't develop these weapons destroyed their sample as well i mean again it's ordered what the russian government is doing here is simply trying to cast doubt on the british narrative which is the russians that launched the attack and so every time you throw up a different kind of story oh we got rid of all of it or in for this other country or it might be important down you just you're throwing up more distractions and russia says that it will accept the results of international investigations into this substance no future do you think that will happen. well i'm going to be interesting to see i mean. whether these things are all traceable i mean it might be. seems to be it is quite clearl

time ago and it relates really to events and happening in dubai today which is the potential for the opie c.w. to actually start investigating the alleged chemical attack and treason may say that. syria was supposed to get rid of all of its chemical weapons the o.p.c. w. declared that their declaration was incomplete that made i thought very interesting statement. and would complicate the issues for the o.p.c. w. while they continue their investigation in duma. yes there is if accusing the syrian government of hiding some of those stockpiles of course the western allies also blaming russia telling that you know this is all your fault that you know the syrian government still has chemical weapons that all p c w they sent inspectors to damascus late yesterday and this morning it's still not clear whether or not their mission will go ahead but they were supposed to go to do might investigate and inspect the alleged site of this chemical weapons attack but the o.p.c. w. really its mandate is only to determine whether or not a chemical weapons attack happened it cannot a portion blame so there

well russia's main representative russia's permanent representative to the opi c.w. alexander surely again he was an equivocal in what he had to say he described the incident that took place in doomer on the seventh of april eighth staged chemical attack saying that the blame lay with the likes of the united states france and the united kingdom for actually carrying out the staging of that now he was also backed up and then statements by the syrian representative the b o p c w and was then later followed by a series of different witnesses who were on the scene in the tank now one of those and perhaps the most profound of those was eleven year old has sunday up he was one of those people that was prominently featured in in videos of the alleged chemical attack. he described a very different scene in that they have a. we were in the basement and then heard someone outside scream go to hospital we were scared they started to pour water on and i don't know why they did this. to. me. do you remember where it happened. to be right here. there is it. here it is. that they p

russians and the syrian government they were both accused of preventing or trying to delay the work of the opi c.w. an accusation that both governments denied they cited security concerns they said that because of security concerns the team could not enter the team arrived in damascus on saturday and that alleged chemical weapons attack happened on april the seventh almost ten to eleven days ago now the question is what happens after the. releases its findings well the west already carried out retaliation against the syrian government because western countries the u.s. and its allies believe that they have the proof that they have evidence that there was a chemical weapons attack so even if. there was a chemical attack we're not expecting any more retaliation so the russian and the syrian government both saying that the are now in. now australia's most senior catholic cleric will return to court next month to find out if you'll stand trial on sexual abuse charges cardinal george pell denies the allegations his lawyer wants the charges thrown out saying he's being targeted to punish the catholi
