there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's the chemical weapons are down szell they must immediately according to the conventions register it with the obviously w. but no country does so despite having created many such chemicals. and it really isn't as difficult as it may sound if it's really a we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market the synthesis does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to said that you need serious expertise in substantial funding to make sure nerve agent. and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the love has to be well equipped with ventilation the talks of acacia equipment and the chemist themselves have to be educated not everyone can synthesize this but there are twenty or so labs that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made new trucks sales. bri

official record of what's been said so we just have to go by what these two leaders have said terry szell's reporting live from helsinki thank you all right let's get the view now from moscow and washington we have and we share with him the russian capital and alexander phenomenon chief of north america in washington d.c. i want to start off with you emily if i may putin said this really jumped out at me i wanted him to win that's a very frank admission and one that will play down well in the u.s. . he said that he that they had a preferred candidate but then again i think you know you have to remember that he did also very much tonight these meddling accusations he said that there was no proof and there were just rumors he said that that he was waiting still for an official request for information from the u.s. so and he also said that he didn't that he needed more information about the twelve russians who had been indicted last week so kind of very much brushing that off and saying that there was no official proof for it yet so i think we saw a kind of putin's traditional line there denyi

politico recaps the agd outlawed racial discrimination in employment education and housing barbara szell segregation and all state sponsored public places such as schools buses parks and swimming pools and outlawed discrimination based on race color religion or national origin in hotels motels restaurants theaters and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce exempting only private clubs without defining the term private but now fifty for you. years later the fight for civil rights still marches and joining us today to discuss this ongoing fight for equality as the country celebrates its independence from oppression is author educator and speaker baltimore's own do you walk thank you do you know it's a pleasure to have you and the signing of the civil rights back in sixty four i think everyone can agree is a pretty watershed moment in contemporary u.s. history but it also happened fifty years ago and i just want to start by looking at the victory. you know for black citizens of the united states you know how important was the least that victory coming into today. is

yeah i think it was we don't really know many details as to that szell policy that was discussed between the two leaders in helsinki and one of the reasons we don't know that much about the meeting which we should be discussing policy because after all that's that's why they met and that's the important part of the summit all we're hearing about from the media is is the meltdown over how trump is a traitor how quittin is a how trump sold out the united states of america and this mass hysteria is clouding and it's fucking up any discussion as to what the policy that these men discussed was what do they talk about regarding syria regarding ukraine regarding nuclear proliferation no no one's really discussing any of the details and the important stuff and all we're hearing is this complete hysteria about russia about trouble about how he's a puppet of the kremlin and it's reached the point where it's madness i mean you have to be beyond stupid to believe that trump is some sort of kremlin spy some sort of kremlin puppet it's beyond dumb but that's the narrative that they're pushing peter tw

through ational with the united states in digits as robert has just been saying about her as president szell interested as robert has just been saying basically trump during the press conference seems to be turning down his battery but do you think that this is almost too late in the damage done it has been done done to to resume. well i think we know that president trump. says number of things often has great color rhetorical flourishes and he makes pretty outrageous claims from time to time statements and then he pulls back he doesn't assert he changes position and i think the position he's taken fright from the very beginning is braggs it should happen there should be british withdrawal from the european union and he's also said that he'd agrees with national sovereignty being restored that is. the same thing that the hard brigadiers are arguing about so i think his position hasn't changed and i think he's always going to be looking to see how america is version of america and who can maximize its advantages and i i would argue that a britain which is sliced away from the e.u. and the bac

invest better and we agree that we need more cash and that there is not a fair burden sharing tara szell standing by at nato she's also been following that speech and the questions that the nato secretary general took terry it seems like present trends approaches yielding results. that's right if you look at the increases in spending there are going to be billions more being put into national defense budgets since two thousand and fourteen that of course is before president trump that that actually happened when russia annexed crimea from ukraine but it is true that there has been a big bump in increases since president came into office since he made this his primary focus in the relationship with nato and secretary general stoltenberg is quite open about it about crediting president trump with president trump also credits himself with it so they agree on that point but it is it is irrefutable that all nato allies are spending more now and that the increases will continue through the twenty twenty four deadline that the alliance set itself for all allies to be showing increases in their
