especially given with the fact that officials from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o.p.c. w. have been working here in the u.k. as well so it's interesting to see what they will be saying on this as well as of course we know that the daughter of sergei screwball yulia has regained it seems better health conditions so what people are going to be watching is what she has to say and in this massive massive story that seem to have found the culprit before any evidence had been presented. just quickly on the political front with i'm sure we all remember very clearly when the first announcements were made by trees of the house of commons. all of the things pretty much ball warm gathered around to support almost cry for action against russia ball the leader of the opposition gerry because when he was roundly hounded for for calling for donal logue with russia presumably if things continue in the way the going this could be a huge opportunity for him to now criticize the government for the for the direction they've taken. well there are certainly that did unravel we saw a tsunami of alleg

of the u.n. security council meeting that were called and at these meetings russia got up and proposed a resolution that would have mandated that the o.p.c. w that's the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the u.n. body that it actually visit the site where the alleged chemical attack took place russia's experts visited the site they did not find any traces of chemicals they did not find any eyewitnesses to an alleged attack they didn't find any bodies or any people getting treatment and they put forth this resolution saying that they wanted the o.p.c. w. to actually visit the site and confirm that the attack had taken place now that resolution put forward by russia was then vetoed by the united states the united states did not want the o.p.c. w. to actually visit the site where it took place now with very little investigation in the almost immediate aftermath of the attack we had nikki haley the representative of the united states saying with absolute confidence that she was convinced that the syrian government was responsible this is nikki haley. did a chemical weapons attack happened yet the u.s. has analyzed yes it has happened to you say has analyzed gas to tap and france has been

that the west stop attacking syria it also would have urged the council to provide conditions for the o.p.c. w.'s work on the ground now that's the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which is in syria right now the russian ambassador flamm the u.s. for violating international law and using the security council to further its own interests saying that western countries don't need any investigations to carry out their own will. but it would be stupid it is not we are already used to the fact that when doubtful geopolitical policy is conducted countries or aggressors blame asad lately they trying to shift responsibility onto russia because according to their interpretation it cannot control the dictator all of this has been based on the scheme of what's been tried and tested provocation deceitful accuse asians verdict and punishment is this how you want international affairs to be conducted no this is wholly conies an international relations. the u.s. ambassador nikki haley deflected all criticism and defended the coalition's airstrikes as altruistic so same rhetoric we've all heard before let's take a look at exactly what healy had to say a large body of information

the u.n. security council that would have mandated that the chemical inspectors from the un's body that oversees chemical weapons the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that these inspectors actually go to do go to the site of the alleged attack and do their research there they would not rely on samples that they got from some angio they not rely on some some. sample of the soil or piece of dirt that was sent in the mail but they actually verify go to the ground and determine that the attack happened based on evidence from the actual site that was that was that was the request that was made that was that was in the resolution that russia put forward before the fifteen member body that leaves the united nations well the united states vetoed that resolution it was vetoed and we then heard u.s. leaders specifically nikki haley the representative of the united states before the u.n. security council we heard her coming out and saying in the aftermath of this this allegation of an attack without any investigation having been done saying what she believes had taken place this is nikki haley speaking at the u.n. security council did a chemi

well at the moment we have a briefing from the high representative for disarmament affairs on the report off the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons this report was compiled at the request of the british government and what we are hearing here in the security council in the course of the day is this briefing from the high representative and then there will be a briefing from the british ambassador karen pierce who actually called the session of the security council she said that she said she would report to the security council on developments out of this affair and this is what should be doing in the course of the afternoon what we're hearing from the high representative at the at the moment is the contents of the o.p.c. w. report to discussing its contents further making very clear that the agent that was used to kill the russian was in fact a highly sophisticated nerve agent known as a two three four by its other popular name not be chopped part of the not be chalk group of nerve agents so we are hearing here confirmation and that details that have been heard in the past that the actual nerve agent used was extremely sophistica

the o.p.c. w. the organization of prohibition of chemical weapons has inspected this site twice the last inspection was just six months ago was in the right just over half a year ago they used to have an office in this building the organization of the un's organization was going to then they use the labs and they cooperated fully with the a.f.p. journalist asked one of the employees of this lab all right you know if they were making chemical weapons and he said if there were chemical weapons we would not be able to stand here and you wouldn't be able to ask me those questions it's ridiculous it is certainly didn't think it was western media never answer on this question is going to have a nice new install of this on the same day the range defense ministry issued a statement that all missiles also hit their targets and we can pride ourselves on doing this is probably what happened to that celebrity and even if it is is this a marketing strategy for these are just me i don't like they're patriots and i go i don't think. u.s. is doing a very good job of showcasing their weapons here now although the syrian observatory for human rights this make it sure is rami are the rodman this f.s.
