Biased toward the assad regime well im not biased toward the assad regime i just think we ought to understand what happened here. Hi there if youre hoping to tune into r. T. International relations in the right place. Russia fully intends to meddle in next years u. S. President ial election that was the tongue in cheek responsibility and didnt answer to a question about moscows plans for the upcoming race for the white house. Hes russian. Alleged attempting to influence the 2020 lections states secret was. Secretly yes we will indeed do that so we could chew you up properly but dont tell anybody ok well thats quite a statement coming from the russian president but you have to take it with a pinch of salt because he was obviously joking but on a more serious note he was addressing probably what might become russia did it his area of volume 2 now after all the numerous investigations that weve seen into russias alleged meddling in the us president ial elections back in 2016 all the media hype that weve seen in the past 2 years pretty much every single quarter someone screamed that it was russia that meddled in the u. S. President ial elections russian meddling in the u. S. Election russia did meddle in the 2016 election for United States to still vulnerable to russian and political interference russias blatant interference in the United States 2016 president ial elections this is actually the crime of the century. If you think about it it is really dont rush into the future. Is driven by. No doubt about. The same no doubt. No doubt. And almost 4 years since donald trump has been elected there was a number of different investigations conducted by the american intelligence agencies the moola reported that maybe had planes and many other articles that were written to prove the existence of the hounds of the kremlin behind the american elections but moscow has always said that it never meddled and putting all joking aside lattimer put in has once again stressed that. You know we have plenty of for. Of our own we put our efforts into resolving them and aim to do that above Everything Else didnt prove that we colluded with President Trump in 2016 but expressed fears that it might happen in the future this is ridiculous or rather it would be if it wasnt so sad because all that we see in us internal politics is about destroying ties between our countries and im certain that holmes the us itself. People in the french city of rio on are demanding the truth after a major fire at a nearby chemicals factory they fear a cover up and dispute claims by the authorities that the air is safe to breathe charlotte dubin ski has more. Almost a week ago the Chemical Plant just across the water that was a blaze afic plume of black smoke bellowed into the sky as firefighters battled almost 24 hours against the flames. In the dark good into the im not saying that the smell isnt pleasant im just telling you what the results of the tests are namely that the air is not harmful since then there has been growing anger over what some say is a lack of information over what was put into not fire and the impact that could have on peoples health. You can talk to any firemen but when you have any type of contact with the smoke its dangerous it can be lethal because of the camera mounted sight and in this case when the smoke went into the sky we didnt know what was in it we dont know exactly what is in the year and we worry a lot that in the future it might bring cancer or something else. I have 4 kids and they were impacted by the smell and my grades i thought about having tests done but for was with absolutely no information about what we should be looking for so i could take blood samples but what are you going to tell them to look for i know they could be cancer thyroid problems but the problem is that we hear lots of rumors nothing concrete. I think there is a risk for health and i can feel it because i have an e g throat and im continuously coffee we worried about the how to march children in the future will they have cancer or something we just dont know around rule some people are also taking that. Washingtons some locals have also experienced no. Vomiting whilst others have complained that the tap water is black and then there is the stench you can smell that the air is foul its a bit like rotting eggs but with a chemical tinge and despite the initial denials that there was no health risk the French Health minister has admitted that its clearly polluted. It is a factory that produces hydrocarbons even if not in large volumes it is never good for the population to come across these kinds of products i cannot say that there is no danger the city is clearly polluted several schools were closed off to the fire and though some have attempted to reopen many teachers are refusing to return to work. Colleagues from schools near lubrizol who have refused to work until they receive information about what was burnt and the risk because they are just a few 100 metres away from the site they did so to protect their health and that of the children who are under their responsibility and thats why there has been a demand that the original school 30 acknowledged their right not to have children attend school under this condition. While Health Concerns are immediate whats perhaps most telling about the danger people here are facing is the fact that food sales from 100 districts around ruin have been banned any produce that may have been exposed to contamination has to be destroyed that even includes milk. Hybrid carrots and work closely with milk producers dioxins are measured in memory grams and there are a problem for us because they become highly concentrated in milk and the toxic so they render it unfit for consumption it is vital for us to know as soon as possible whether there are any dioxins in those burning materials whats going on here to tell us what to do with our produce so that you dont love my advice even reached as far as belgium and the netherlands raising concerns. The impact could be even the wider reaching strikes have also been raised for the health of the police and the firefighters who are on during the fire protests like this have no form to pressure the authorities to outline any risks they make face they demanding answers but are afraid that even if they receive and that the danger is as a result of that place may not image for months or even years from now charlotte even ski r. T. E. Will. French police have gathered on the streets of paris is part of a strike known as the National March of anger this is the 1st Police Strike since 2000 the one the offices are demanding the authorities improve working and Conditions Police have faced increasing existence of brutality but thats why theyve come under attack themselves during the yellow vest protests now the police are complaining of chronic overworked outdated equipment as well as president microns reforms of the special Police Pension system theres also been a sharp rise in officer suicides with around 50 taking the lives this year against 35 last year we asked the demonstrators about their demands. The best usually 3 today the police have no money yes salaries. Are status and our pension are being attacked officers are tired with the Yellow Vest Movement there is a lot of work sacrificing their family life and we are expressing a deep depression in our profession or the. Home here to defend our working conditions the threat to our special pensions status the lack of resources across the board. We are the Police Officers from all fronts not just riot police but also misses all the unions we have all gathered to express our discontent with the administration the silence about the wave of Police Suicides this year we are short of stop short of money we cannot do our job and here to tell the administration that. A scientific journal that specializes in arms control has withdrawn a study that casts doubt on claims the Syrian Government was behind a chemical attack in 2017 in the town of cancer code the author of the report a retired mit professor told r. T. His rep video Agency Claims of inaccuracies in the study are groundless. This article that my colleagues and i are publishing has come under attack and the very interesting thing about this attack is that nobody who has any Technical Expertise has provided any criticisms at all the criticisms are all from people who have no Technical Expertise and the criticisms have to do with strange arguments for example i was accused of being. Biased toward the assad regime well im not biased toward the assad regime i just think that we ought to understand what happened here the only thing that matters is is this article technically correct this is a science based journal and if theres any technical errors in it then they need to point them out because they have theyve actually in several conversations said they are not aware of any technical errors so the problem seems to be that there are accusations being made from the outside which have no scientific merit that it appears has caused them to take pause if i suppose pointed out in consistency is in the official version of events but its come under intense criticism is my guess the it explains. Where the sun revolves around us or us around it where the earth is flat who is god is greater or more recently whether we should question why every chemical attack in syria would be magically gets blamed on the government the Syrian Government committed chemical weapons acts against their own people it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a star an attack on conscious assigned rita rita the violations of the cease fire and the violence through be to be perpetrated by heeds armed forces on civilians now usually science is the answer it is resolved some of our biggest arguments but this question seems to have a strumpet science and Global Security respected journal based at a Princeton University decided not to publish a study that questioned the official version of events that assads government was behind the hand she hoon attack in 2017 it all went Something Like this a former pentagon employee mit professor ted postol together with respected scientists conducted a study u. S. President ial candidate gathered mentions it on her Campaign Web Site 13th september belling cat noted anti asaad website blasts the study science a global says it will publish it anyway and will judge it or narrow it soon after the journal now says its canceling the publication is why officially. These questions included concerns about the technical merits of the analysis in this article as well as the value of publishing the article given the sensitive in contested issue of the use of chemical weapons in syria the editors take these matters very seriously this review identified a number of issues with the peer review and revision process strange isnt it that no questions about the veracity of the study were asked when it was submitted or when it was given the green light for publishing concerns only appeared when belling cat and its followers attacked the study and the people behind it weve asked the journal for comment but no clear answer yet then again as statement may have said it all sensitive and contested issue that caused your mind back to 2017 within 2 days of the alleged chemical attack america declared it knew everything there was to know on tuesday syrian dictator bashar. Launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric. Attack and so trump ordered a barrel of cruise missiles to be launched that syria now any doubt about as adds to mattick guilt would make the missile strike a war crime or an International War crime which could be why the scientists behind the study of facing such intense pressure abuse even and surprisingly are the loudest voices of condemnation is coming from Elliot Higgins founder of belling cat and opponent of everything as sad is website which he likes to call an investigative outlet that has received funding from u. S. Government run operations mr higgins is a rabid supporter of the official pentagon line he is debating the issue with dr post or well the opi slow your dog doesnt agree with you well that are they lying before i think there is aid to address the technical points in my instead of citing nonsense because i showed that none of the forensic evidence fits the findings you need to show that what im saying is technically inaccurate i took your research in hex i mean i gave it was so when he said 40 years of experience as a chemistry expert im not interested in other people you claim are experts i want to know why this is not its not in place the full debate is up on dr postals you tube channel but his study will be appearing on science and Global Security anytime soon it seems twisted criticism has won the day to day where science is told to shut up because its inconvenient its former us secretary of defense famously explained there are some things you just dont know you dont know. There are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations but there are known knowns serious things we know we know and we also know there are unknown unknown that is to say we know there are some things we do not know but there are also unknown unknown the ones we dont know we dont know excuse me but is this in the no no no. Im not several on loans and im just what im noticing and im not going to say which it is because the search is going to remain here if youre going to hear the irony is sometimes those unknown noons preferable its better for america in this case for bending cats if no one knows what happened and they what. Investigative journalist rick sterling says we the withdrawal of the article has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics. The article was authored by 7 scientists who are experts in the field they ruled out the fact that. That it was definitely something that could only have been caused by a bomb drop from the from the air it was restricted to analyzing the hole in the ground and modeling whether it 122 millimeter. Projectile missile could have caused that and they determined that it could have caused the criticisms mostly have come from nonscientific people whats sad is that journal that supposed to be dedicated to scientific inquiry and that is supposed to be dedicated to disarmament and arms control is apparently being bullied or allowing itself to be bullied into political censorship and bias. The Dutch Parliament is urging an investigation into the role ukraine played in the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight m h 17 back in 2014 during the debates lawmakers questioned why the plane was able to enter ukrainian airspace and that been heavy fighting in the east of the country boeing 777 was shot down to of the sky killing everyone on board and 2015 that safety board said that there had been enough reasons to close the airspace is a quick reminder on the tragedy. Very good evening the Dutch Safety Board said back in 2015 that there were enough reasons for you crying to close the airspace why other that wanted ukraines well investigated only now for his light well i think theres been a lot of pressure on people who really want to know what happened exactly to this flight dont forget that the droid Investigation Team countries like malaysia plane was flying for Malaysian Airlines was not allowed to join for during 6 months proof brought in or evidence in any case brought in from russia was read you understand not about. Aspects to this analysis of what really happened to m. H. 17 and there has been situations is the beginning so its been very very difficult for people for the truth to speak out and that has taken time and its a very good news today that the parliament the Lower Chamber of the british army wants to investigate finally ukraines rule opening its airspace over the region which is war torn. Wanting an investigation is one thing do you think it will actually happened. We dont know because since the beginning this has been political there has been a buys dont forget that barack obama on day 22 days after this terrible incident said he had proof that it was a russian backed militants 5 years later were still waiting for this proof where is it so theres a scapegoat. Process going through or about then the culprit was designated before the investigation or happened and that was the narrative of the joint investigation system thank god there are been a lot of independent investigators who are scientists professionals who have looked into this and say theres something fishy with the official version of the joint Investigation Committee and finally some of this information is coming out its very good news that its coming out from a parliament from the Dutch Parliament which has been very proactive in that investigation since the beginning so i think this is good news hopefully well go forward i think that you can theres a lot of information out going on the internet independent media giving different version of what the g. O. P. To us saying and saying this is something very interesting it has to go through we have to push for truth the real truth really what happened on friday at image 17. You mentioned in the official dutch led investigation help russia responsible for the shooting down of the flights and even identify key suspects that supposedly going to go on trial next year do you think any of that would change if there was a new investigation. Well it has to be because you cant keep on with this narrative if theres so much so much different information coming out this is a case of just coming up to the surface and theres new evidence and theres this narrative saying that it is russian they have proved since me too but they cant show any of this prove its just backfiring against them and les mis people believe this narrative so they will not be able to go through and prosecute people if there are such amount of evidence saying that there is maybe a different version that they have to reconsider i think this is very important at this time people say we dont know actually what happened what we do know is that a lot of the evidence is not being taken into consideration and that the organisation which is investigating into this accident the image 17 road getting blown out of the sky is not is unbiased it doesnt have an objective approach so i think we its time to bring in a new body of specialist unbiased were going to best again see what really happens taking into consideration what each of the parties has to say the fact that a Dutch Parliament elected body is coming up saying theres something fishy about the official version is very good news and i hope it will go through and there will really get one day a true investigation on what really happened on any 17th. Piece what weve been talking about and theyre also angry that there was a recent Prisoner Exchange with Russia Ukraine handing over someone whos considered to be a key suspect in the shooting down of m h 17. Surprised by that maybe if this was such a key suspect white hand them over. Well there would never have handed him over ukraine dont forget open its airspace so theyve already shared part of the responsibility we dont know who shot the plane down yet officially but we do know that ukraine had its air air space open and that is a very grave error on behalf of ukraine if they had to prove that there was somebody working art for the russians which. Believe me they would not have let that person go thats not it this would be that the major the major asset they would have to say its not our fault its the russians they wouldnt let him go so i think again some people want to carry hump to this narrative that it has to be the russians because barack obama said it and we see that 5 years later that simply just is not so easy its not the case and if it were the case ukraine would never have let go the primary suspect and listening to the thoughts of my guest nicol america this political analyst thank you thank you. On to more news now French Police are being keys are turning a blind eye to Human Trafficking across the English Channel an undercover investigation that by a british Radio Station also claims french officers might even a been aiding people smugglers in their efforts to get migrants to u. K. Shores shaadi Edwards Dashti picks up the story. Well we all know that the migrant crisis is far from over even though of course scenes of boats traveling from france the u. K.

Of the alleged people smuggler the man in charge of that in france who goes by the name for a route and does the video goes on he seems to be explaining that the french authorities are advising him and his team when is best to attempt a crossing and when it is best to hold back potentially possibly because they themselves have inside information as to when the u. K. Border force is in operation and patrolling the channel so that in that report it seems out best the french authorities are turning a blind eye but out was actively engaging and helping that whole operation that there was something that the French Police very mentally didnt know i mean well then the home office here in britain is saying that the french counterparts with british operations have this joint plan of action and says the 2 have a very close working relationship.

Up to 400. 00 people across the channel the ring is said to be in operation in london birmingham and of course. In france now a follow up report says that for every it is then 8 or 9 himself any involvement in all of these allegations now last month we know that the home secretary prita patel met with the french counterparts to discuss this joint action plan to stop vessels from attempting any crossing across the English Channel and just today she then advocated tighter border controls.
