From almost good news h. Q. Thanks for joining us at all at the international diner holkins here with you tonight russias president has condemned a controversial u. S. Missile test noting its timing suggesting the weapon was developed long before washington sought to quit on after such weapons and was asked about that issue off the talks with the finnish president in helsinki little quarter joins me live with more. Obviously this has been something the headline says that this missile test the cuisine of the treaty what else the what else was discussed in the meeting well then at this press conference the russian president was talking about a number of things from everything like you said between the i. N. F. Treaty and the opposition protests going on in moscow when it comes to the latter where western media is accusing russia of cracking down on the Opposition Movement but a lot of your putin stressed that the police has been acting actually in court in accordance with the law. Which you must be. Pretty. Not something unique need the full of the world as a whole not for europe in particular weve witnessed similar events in many european capitals these events though much would also politically fueled and have quite grave consequences for the protesters. Now there was a lot of discussion on this front but the main topic was washingtons latest missile test that took place last sunday it was conducted in violation of the i. N. F. Treaty which was a treaty that bans land based missiles with a greater range than 500 kilometers seriously helped impede the nuclear a Nuclear Arms Race between the u. S. And russia for over 30 years now this treaty might not be around anymore but a lot of your putin said that the timing. Signified signalled that this was in Development Long before the i. N. F. Treaty was actually dumped. It was a jewel in the wheel disappointed with what we see this test goes against the irony of treaty escalates the security problem in the world and europe in particular the us tested this missile to full rights of the lift the i and if treaty we supposed to work on this missile still to long before the search for reasons to leave the treaty certainly troubling times we live in and some test taking place on both sides according to a list of what what what do we know about the us missile test specifically the well this test was the 1st of the us is tests of a Cruise Missile with a range of over 500 kilometers the type that was banned under the i. N. F. Treaty and this missile was launched off of the coast of california but its really no big surprise because the very day that washington withdrew from the i. M. F. It announced these new tests to give our viewers a bit of context the if the u. S. Official reason for leaving the treaty the treaty was blamed on russia for noncompliance with itself but moscow denies these claims and Vladimir Putin emphasized that it wont be the 1st to boost its military as long as washington doesnt do it for the United States he also said that moscow will act responsibly to defend its own borders in response to any military threat so thats basically a sum up of the russian president s main points at this conference in helsinki. Because of the with the latest putins visit to helsinki. Hes going underground discuss the collapse of the treaty with Award Winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger he thinks many people dont realize how dangerous the situation is you can watch the full interview. Just a little bit later on. The abandonment by the United States of the i and if treaty the most important anti nuclear war treaty ever sign and here we had yesterday i think it was the us. Now testing again these intermediate range Nuclear Weapons cruise weapons and russia saying well yes of course we were in an arms race against. The dangers of this the dangers of of accidentally they can be beginning a nuclear war are not known to most people that i was you let slip all out of this spectrum some say the i. N. F. Treaty had to be revised because china was always opposing and was violating the terms of the environment in which the idea of treaty was originally created between gorbachev come out of washington and even if that treaty didnt need provision then revise it. I remember those discussions and i interviewed a number of the american negotiators extraordinary man like paul walker who sat down and negotiated with the russians these complex treaty they were serious people we are not dealing with serious people. Leaked audio has revealed that a u. S. Oil and gas lobby group helped secure legislation that criminalizes protests against the pipeline that was in response to demonstrations against the construction of a pipeline in north dakota during which activists train themselves to equipment protesters also started fires when you authorities tried to remove them from the site with more on the story here scalable but.

Washington sanctions on buying iranian oil broke more than 2 and a half 1000000 barrels from the Global Market every day thats the estimate given by u. S. Secretary of state. Yet the white house special representative for iran has apparently tried to downplay the sanctions impact just that most of the economic woes of the Islamic Republic of its own making. Iran is in a recession. Inflation is creeping up near 50 percent. This is largely caused by irans corruption. Irans marxist economy the traps people in poverty and a government that prioritizes ideology over the welfare of its own people. But it is also the case that our sanctions have driven up the cost on the regime. And in theory the sanctions dont target medicine in practice though due to a sweeping fire and Financial Transactions with the radiance they cant buy medical supplies from abroad the dramatic fall in imports they increasingly face key shortages last year the International Court of justice ordered the u. S. To remove any impediments that the export of human humanitarian goods including medicine to iran the trouble ministration though insists medicine is not being targeted. With number one the United States sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the United States exempts badasses and medical devices for the iranian people the iranian people know all too well that the real issue preventing access is the regime itself doesnt crash my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive andrea and we are worried about the future and what will happen. And i lived all this is the 2nd round of my chemotherapy off to sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost 211. 00 euro but now with each round i need to pay 422 year old drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them having a specific kind of drug. Now when they impose sanctions on the banks the money cannot be transferred easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication. To bring in many voices and some of them like components its obvious that without these parts the devices simply wont work. Or university professor. Professor say about how much ground he believes washington just doesnt want to shoulder the responsibility for the impact of the sanctions while the United States under trump is trying to be brutal he is trying to brutalize ordinary iranians and kill as many iranians as possible they want to have their cake and eat it too on the one hand they want to say that iran we are powerful and were destroying the iranian economy and on the other hand they want to say well iran is evil and incompetent and its their own fault but the truth of the matter is that they have cause great difficulty in iran this sanctions regime or this maximum Pressure Campaign is directly targeting ordinary iranians you cannot import medicine through the Banking System in iraq you cannot import anything through the international Banking System and this of course is a violation of human rights. Public broadcaster the b. B. C. Is making headlines of its own but softer admitted to failings in its coverage during the recent european elections despite its own strict editorial guidelines but Saskia Taylor explains it took a lot for the corporation to acknowledge its apparent error. The b. B. C. Has just admitted that one of its graphics illustrating the results of the european parliamentary election back in may this year it was misleading now the chart in question shows how well pro and anti bracks at parties did and it suggests that remain as one a little over 40 percent of the vote with bracks it is coming in just shy of 35 percent the conclusion of course being that sentiment in europe was stronger but and this is where the issue is the core fails to account for one important thing while the need for the party and ukip are represented as backing bracks it the conservatives are not despite being a party that was then and still is committed to leaving the european bloc. Coconspirator has pursued de she for months and despite being rebuffed twice by the b. B. C. Yesterday finally had his complaint accepted it was except a doctor threatening to take the motor to ofcom the charge she used by the b. B. C. To present the Election Results attempted to do a brutally imply and to brag parties receive the most routes now conservative support of bracks it is by no means whole hearted but publicly its now pursuing united pro bracks it policy to reason may of course was adamant on this everyone knows her famous mantra that means brett said and this is only hard and Boris Johnson has vowed to take the u. K. Out of the e. U. By the october deal or no deal so this was a significant omission on the part of the b. B. C. Indeed if that had correctly included the conservative party the progress it is would have taken the lead in that graphic by 3 percent potentially changing the implications of that election another aspect of the story was mentioning is that the b. B. C. Actually rebuffed the complaint for almost one month while we. Your concerns given the preceding paragraph we dont believe readers would have been misled on what the graph was showing now as i said the b. B. C. Has since admitted that these graphics were a lapse in editorial standards theyve been removed and a note of correction added to the website but there is a little back story to this because this isnt the only complaint directed against the b. B. C. On this very issue actually jury the elections back in may the full cost of faced allegations of bias from viewers are nigel frosh who claimed that the bracks a party hadnt been given a fair amount of time so allegations of antibiotics that brought bias aunt knew we all know of course that bracks it has become one of the most divisive issues of british politics in modern history so its probably on surprising that people are disappointed that the b. B. C. Has failed to live up to its commitment to impartiality on the issue. 6 years to the day since a major chemical attack on the syrian capital suburb of Eastern Ghouta back in 2013 the rebel stronghold in damascus was targeted with rockets containing sarin gas is from the International Outrage with many pointing the finger at the Syrian Government the Syrian Government has utilized chemical weapons in its fight against rebels the syrian sarin gas attack which are ministration says the Syrian Government launched the assad regime has used chemical weapons including the nerve agent sarin syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the ready syrian president Bashar Al Assad responded to the allegations calling part of the fake narrative of the west the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons launched the Fact Finding Mission to investigate that incident and others in its wake you gone off reports on what progress has been made. The syrian war theater has become the seeing for some of the scariest Chemical Attacks of the 21st century in many acts of this tragedy it is still not known to this very day who launched noxious project tiles that have killed hundreds if not thousands of people for years the socalled Fact Finding Mission and initiative over un backed chemical watchdog has been tasked with dotting the ice the establishment of a Fact Finding Mission was based on the General Authority of the o. P. C. W. Director general seek to uphold at all times the object and purpose of the chemical weapons convention. In a report on a series of chemical incidents in 2015 the mission showed a drawing of an alleged munition used in one of the attacks what they didnt mention though was that using such a device as a bomb didnt make sense it was loaded not with chlorine but rather chemicals that needed to be mixed together to become toxic according to the u. N. To facilitate this would be a tall order the a c. F. C. Hydrochloride fluorocarbon gas canisters commonly referred to as refrigerant canisters are widely available because they used to refill refrigerators and air conditioners however they are disposable and they repurchasing all refilling would require technical modification of the valve Technical Expertise and equipment would be needed to modify the valve to refill the canisters with liquids or compressed gas the report gave no clear indications as to how this has been a success. And any that look to see it was a plausible virus claim put forward and yet for an report is that these were. Filled with Something Else ok but these canisters that there was no device shown these cancers would rule out on to being. Refill are not accountable so this is a big question mark and yes taken something constructive to devise which allegedly can be ineffective where the pattern continues in other reports by the Fact Finding Mission to. A toxic attack and hunchy whom seem to reinforce Bashar Assads reputation of a tyrant gassing his own people even though damascus denied any involvement the Fact Finding Mission provided an extensive analysis of the incident but somewhat overlooked the fact that the closest the government planes got to hunchy who in their day was 5 kilometers the map indicated that the closest to hand shake that the aircraft had flown had been approximately 5 kilometers away Additional Information provided by the mechanism referred to 2 aircraft that had taken off from the shea rad air base at around the time indicated as above 10 minutes apart following the same flight path this effectively rules out the possibility of an air strike throwing a dark shadow of doubt on the version suggesting the governments involvement. Another thing left out about this incident is the fact that some of the alleged victims had been admitted to hospitals before the attack some were chipped in as patients in a hospital more than a 100 kilometers away just 30 minutes after the incident the mission didnt seem to present any facts explaining how the ambulance could have covered this distance in under 30 minutes because to do so it would have had to go at a speed of more than 200 Kilometers Per Hour to reach the facility want to keep problems that theyre being ok in many of the alleged attacks theres been a reliance on. N. G. O. S reliant on on
