About the origin of chemical weapons. Its fifty years since the assassination of Martin Luther king in memphis tennessee. His legacy and how it still inspires activists in the u. S. Today. Hello im terry march and good to have you with us the president s of iran turkey and russia are meeting for their second summit in six months to discuss the crisis in syria it comes as rebels are facing what could be a Game Changing setback the loss of eastern guta a key stronghold near the capital damascus under russian brokered deal buses carrying fighters on their. Began leaving the main town of. Rebel areas in syrias north only a pocket of hardliners remain as tens of thousands have evacuated under similar deals progovernment forces have now retaken ninety five percent of the enclave. As peace talks between Turkey Russia and iran begin it those large but also conflicting interests in the outcome of syrias civil war. Syria twenty eight hundred. Seven years of civil war and still no end in sight there are too many interests involved this war goes beyond the assad regime fighting rebel groups major foreign doctors are playing their part to. These are the main ones they regularly supply weaponry and personnel to those they believe can help to meet their own geo political and russian president Vladimir Putin is one of president assads closest allies russia has provided military support to assad since twenty fifteen since then the Syrian Government has managed to recover lost territory with the aid of russian airstrikes putin wants to strengthen russias military presence in the region reduce american influence and keep radical islamists of power the russian air station near latakia is now a permanent fixture on the tartars marine base russias only such base in the mediterranean is being enlarged. President Hassan Rouhani of iran is another supporter after all iran has no intention of losing one of its closest allies in the arab world from day one to run a support to damascus with advisors weapons and troops syria in return grants around a much needed route to the hezbollah militia in lebanon. This man on the other hand would like to see assad out of power turkey has supported various rebel groups from the start and since january has had its own troops in syria one of president aired ones goals is to push by kurdish groups to gain influence in parts of syria by supporting u. S. Operations against the socalled islamic states. A spring in our correspondent dorian jones now in ankara hes covering the three way summit between russia iran and turkey thats happening there today during the summit brings together three nations with very different interests in syrias future what do they want out of these talks. Well i think they are looking for and achieving an end game in syria there is realisation even though they are all from rival sides that they do have to Work Together on the ground to bring these warring parties together to achieve some sort of end to this seven year civil war and also to help them achieve their own regional goals given the fact that many of those goals are contradicted by this makes this process extremely fraught with difficulties and many of the talks today will be focused on those different goals and the contradictory goals and also the fact that they are all backing rival proxy fighters in syria further complicates the matter but its still recognized at this meeting today and part of this why the start the process which these three countries have been working to solve the civil war in syria is seen as the best chance to ending this conflict iran turkey and russia met six months ago dorrian for peace talks has anything changed since then to bring the conflict closer to an end. Progress certainly has been slow but there have been these creation of these the conflict zones across syria and this is where the Syrian Rebels are being moved to and they would benefit from a cease fire now it is a very slow and extremely controversial practice because given the fact that neither side seems to agree on who are legitimate rebels and who will what deemed terrorist who do not benefit from this ceasefire this is a major point of rivalry an argument between moscow and tehran there will be big arguments and discussions today. Particularly over this enclave in italy where many of the rebel fighters in ghouta are being sent to that is a key point of discussion but this conflict zones in many ways is seen as a way of ending the Syrian Civil War it will be the final settlement where supporters and opponents of the regime will be ultimately place and that is where a lot of focus on these talks today will be on the conflict zones u. S. President donald trump recently enough. Withdrawal of u. S. Troops from syria he is obviously not at those talks today what influence if any does washington still have there. Will washington still to house have one major card to play that is backing this Syrian Kurdish militia which controls up to us third of syria and in many ways that is seen as one the main factors why washington is continuing to support this Kurdish Militia even though nato ally considers them terrorists and in fact even though tom has announced the withdrawal we are getting reports of the pentagon is reinforcing its support of this Kurdish Militia possibly a warning to those attending the summit today that while washington is excluded it still remains a player but it has to be said that all the three leaders attending today thats one thing they agree on they believe the u. S. Has no role to play in the syrian conflict dorian thank you very much for bringing us up to date their story in jones there in ankara. The nerve agent attack in the u. K. On former double agent sergei screwball and his daughter has caused a rift between russia and the west the kremlin has demanded an apology from the u. K. For saying the poison came from russia. Failure to track down the source of a nerve agent proves the accusations are baseless in an interview with t w British Foreign secretary Boris Johnson said there was no doubt in his mind that russia is to blame. You argue that their source of. Edge and not the choke is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly thats very thin possess samples when i look at the evidence from the people from porton down the the. Have the samples do they they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said as they dont. British foreign secretary Boris Johnson theyre talking about the porton down laboratory that identified the agent used in the attack the nerve agent that is more on the Scientific Investigation lets bring in allister hay hes professor of environmental toxicology at the university of leeds and hes worked on chemical weapons issues for nearly forty years hes personally worked on six investigations of actual an alleged chemical weapons use professor thank you so much for joining us to tell us how difficult is it for a laboratory like porton down to conduct a Scientific Investigation in such a politically charged environment. Although very difficult indeed and a lot of pressure on the bar treat because there are hundreds of songs to process regard to his job is to identify the agent that was used and the head of the live oratory has doubts what he did that he is all says and that authority is going to know so that its not saying where this particular agent came from simply stating what it is. The chief executive of porton down laboratory has now spoken as you mentioned he says his scientists only identified the nerve agent and this is important they have not come to any conclusion about where it came from. We and terms of our rule where he will to identify it as an over choke. And that it was a military create an air feature. We know verify the precise source but we provided the scientific information to the government who have then used the number of other sources to piece together the conclusions that theyve come to. Now professor the organization for the per prohibition of chemical weapons is meeting today theyre making their own investigations can we expect them to find out anything more no i think they will simply confirm what the British Laboratory has found the o. P. C. Job you can draw on about twenty different cities around the world and some of those will be involved as well as the o. P. C. Dobbys oligarch tree in looking at the samples biological and environmental and identifying the agent but that will be as far as they will go they wont say any more than one point source ok well of course its good to know what that agent was but the big question is where did it come from give us some high idea of how this process would work how would you go about determining the origin of a nerve agent. Well its not easy if there are some other precursor chemicals that might have been used to make the nerve agent present in the samples some solvents and maybe some unreactive products you can get a clue as to the manufacturing process and that could narrow down the number of sources but it is not exact reading for an exact fit you need to have had an earlier sample from the location and you compare that earlier sample with the most recent one that youre looking at and get to match in the absence of that it is still much more speculative. The two victims of the term are still in hospital tell us how exactly the nerve agent no but chalk affects the human body. Well all the charts work in a similar way sorry all no agents another chalk in this instance is a nerve agent they all operate in a similar way essentially they block a message from nerves to muscles that sends muscles into status and then thats muscles all over the body and the most crucial one is the one that it thinks your breathing so if your breathing is compromised that will have an effect on the brain and that can have major long term complications as well so the main impact is on the breathing and thats what would have had to have been at that and addressed when the scruples were found first so thank you very much for that that was alastair hay professor of environmental toxicology at the university of leeds. Now lets take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today a woman who shot and injured three people at the you tube headquarters in Northern California before fatally shooting herself a suspect allegedly had a website that railed against you tube for censoring her videos and cutting her earrings cutting her earnings on the platform Police Officials say they are still investigating a motive.

The u. S. And china are opening up another chapter in their ever growing trade war kristoff has more thats right terry the Trump Administration has rolled out a list of proposals chinese i take imports to be hit with new tariffs lets take a look closer look at these now the list names Thirteen Hundred separate products with a total value of roughly fifty billion dollars the items would be subject to an added import duty of twenty five percent of the list includes various industrial components for airplanes for example like launching gear rotors turbines flight data recorders and even tires the medical and pharmaceutical sector is also effected with extra tears to be put on different electro medical instruments and many medicines of the terrorist follow through on president Trumps Campaign promise to crack down on what he calls chinese trade abuses and address the u. S. Trade deficit whats interesting though is that mobile phones which constitute about forty percent of u. S. Imports from china are exempt from the list with the u. S. Government likely to be fearing an outcry among consumers over higher prices for their favorite gadgets now for more lets bring in our markets man orly bartz standing by at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange early this ongoing terror of dispute between the worlds top two economies has been rattling markets in recent days whats todays reaction. Thats rattling today as well initially know the German Market and the European Market started off with basically treading water and posting slight losses but then a message came from china and the market went south in a more clear way its not in turmoil by no means but there are clear losses and here in germany for example almost all the major shares are losing of course lots of exporters among them people do fear a trade war because chinese broadcaster c. C. T. T. V. Says that china will impose additional tariffs now in reaction to this fifty billion package from the United States of twenty five percent on one hundred six u. S. Products including soybeans automobiles and chemicals and soybeans thats the worst possible scenario for u. S. Farmers an important demographic in u. S. Politics and the market is taking taking it seriously so the tension between those two sides certainly rising but what are other ways for china to put pressure on the United States. It has a huge instrument in its hand us debt the chinese with their huge trade surplus they have lots of money to spend and invest and they invest it in u. S. Treasuries to a large degree thats a safe investment the u. S. Dollar the worlds leading currency and if they threaten to buy less that already could contribute to Interest Rates rising to the u. S. Having to pay more for debt and its leaked out already of the chinese that it could do Something Like that and it had effects on the u. S. Treasuries already it could use this instrument more actively to cause pain for the United States but the other side of the metal is that it also causes pain for world equities because basically every Investment Vehicle is hinged to u. S. Interest rates if they go up the market goes down here in the parts reporting from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange thank you so much.
