so for russia, the outcome of the syrian civil war is as much about russia's internal security, as it is about the country's external security. (bells toll) (speculative music) - [narrator] policymakers disagree on whether to approach putin's russia with engagement or confrontation. - [polyakova] the american people, i think are rightfully quite confused about 'is putin a good guy?' 'is russia really that bad?' 'why should we care?' it's 'cause our political leaders have never clearly articulated what our stance is towards russia. - [w. bush] i found him to be very straight-forward and trustworthy. i was able to get a sense of his soul. - we want to reset our relationship as... - [male voice] let's do it together. - so we will do it together, okay? (both laugh) - russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors. not out of strength, but out of weakness. - we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for russia, for the united states and for everybody concerned. and it's an honor to be with you, thank you. thank you very much. - thanks. - the

russia. rejects russia's proposal for a joint investigation into the attack on the former spy and his daughter claiming that moscow refused to cooperate with. the news russia turkey and iran agree on a joint effort to rebuild syria but what about militant attempts to sabotage the peace process with chemical attacks. from me in the team here the new center and mosque i want to call it brings wednesday evening at seven in the russian capital thanks for choosing us few news this hour first off the british foreign office has deleted a tweet saying that experts at a british lab confirm the nerve agent used in the scribal poisoning case was produced in russia it's a move that's not going on notice by others online with some seeing it as a damage limitation exercise as and us to see a check in the reports now from westminster the foreign office has deleted a tweet that it had initially posted on march twenty second which read that analysis by world leading experts of the laboratory at porton down ma

and the that russia and the u. cooperating is vital for the european security and so i've managed to get a few minutes of his time and what i really wanted to know is to whether or not he believes this whole situation around the scruple case is hampering the said corporation and his opinion is that it is not rights when one side refuses to hear the other. i mean truly very into. these bristling. relations between east best. day it seems to get worse on a daily basis and bodies. a matter of concern i think to all security politicians that we need to end to to revert. to dialogue we need to sit at the same time table we need to. try to understand development but more empathy towards the security perceptions of each other i think that is listening trying to understand that's very important if we want to come out after this current is caligari logic. well judging by the latest events the dialogue the vital and the most basic trait and tool of diplomacy is something that is seems to be for now impossible to achieve in t

that the desire of russia to nor. why russia is blamed strange. in talking about the. w involvement actually russia follows exactly by the procedures of the convention. so on the thirteenth of march russia requested the u.k. to provide russia with all the formation this is article in paragraph two and within ten days the u.k. was supposed to deliver that information. do you keep failed to do that so now russia requested the executive council to provide all information that exact two for council process so. the next step. is supposed to do right now is to. make sure that the executive council requests that the u.k. provides all the information about the. screwballs issue because. the executive council is obliged to do that so now we're talking about the situation when forty one country requests this information from. it's not just russia and you've the u.k. fails to provide this information so russia isn't in its right to request. a special session of the conference or with the one hundred and ninety countries and then that conference to make the request from the u.k. t

and both russia and iran. as three countries as three guarantor countries which started this process in sochi and together we are going to take steps in that direction and move forward we never said that the us to now process i'll turn it to the geneva process you know it's just an additional element if somebody says otherwise no we disagree we just want to see results. we will take necessary steps because we are we have to do it we are responsible for the situation and we want to see results we want to stop people from dying. all witnessed the events in is good and how children were dying. getting killed we cannot tolerate this. i have a six year old child. and we are all parents. i'm the president of turkey and i cannot tolerate things like that. you just have to be. subtle as humans you can all understand this. you're watching r t international for the past half hour we've been watching that news conference in the turkish capital between the leaders of turkey russia and iran they've been talking about the t

in russia. then covered corruptions in the companies and exposed it, and all sorts of terrible thing happened to me. i was expelled from the country, they have tried to have me arrested all over the world, threatened me with death, kidnapping, all sorts of terrible things. host: are you in fear of your life? are two things -- mi at risk of being killed? yes. am i in fear? no. to theow do you travel united states, all over with this threat? guest: i have to be more careful than you if i'm traveling to those countries, but there are protocols i have to put in place to try and minimize that. you can never eliminate the risk of assassination, you can only minimize or make it harder for the people who wish you ill to do something like that. your banking and investment experience in russia is why you are in washington today. commission, what it is, and wire you testifying? guest: the helsinki commission is a congressional commission made up of members of the senate and the house of representatives, ce

russia russia russia russia i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and boris johnson the serious questions to all you claimed on german television this was a russian produced. porton examined it and said all they claim to have to fight was not the truth they couldn't say where it came from well now it remains to be seen whether or not boris johnson is going to be answering any of those questions given the vigorous ness with which accusations against russia have flown very early on in this case pretty much as soon as the name of the man poisoned her paul came out into the spotlight well the response has been active on twitter he said though to accuse they were probably the jeremy cold would have sided with russia for a start instead of supporting we u.k. like he said the twenty eight countries that expelled russian diplomats did other nations have questioned the u.k.'s measures against moscow over the scruple case notably austria opting to remain neutral but claiming it was pressured to follow suit. when the situation gets tough you have to keep channels open the u.k.

games back and forth between russia and england and russia in the united states you know there was an excellent book written by one of your countrymen the called the great game that details this activity dating back to the late seventy's hundreds early hundreds i lived in russia in one in the ninety's when the united states openly meddled. in boris yeltsin's reelection campaign there was a cover of time magazine after after yeltsin won reelection there were the it's a picture of yeltsin and the headline of the yanks to the rescue because we had advisors american advisors to reporting directly to bill clinton. who were aiding yeltsin in that victory and this is just part of the way views with the countries of operated toward each other forever we've always been interested in each other's affairs i think the differences now. but there is a political angle towards demonization of russia now inspiring some politicians in the west in england and in america to make up a public issue out of this in a way that they have they would now be floor that they wouldn't have have. sated. such a heate

russia russia russia i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and france and a serious questions to answer he claimed on german television this was a russian produced nerve agent and porton down then examined it and said all that if i was a sniper trial they couldn't say where it came from. or the labor party m.p.'s have been running on boris johnson on twitter to the shadow home secretary said that perhaps mr johnson might also want to delete the vilified german t.v. interview he gave other stress the need to check evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and said the incident is being used as a diversionary tactic. seems to me the government were indulging in political point scoring particularly boris johnson who raced ahead of the evidence and used this terrible incident not so much as a smoking gun but more of a smokescreen really it was a very convenient wasn't for the government to use this as a way of diverting attention from their own difficulties of a. policy and you know at the end of the day it's pretty clear that boris jo

didn't agree with russia's proposal for a joint investigation saying that russia hadn't provided information it should have done to the u.k. already he also went on to say that the european union had concerns that raw. could pull away from the o.p.c. w. entirely well this was followed up with a statement from the russian foreign ministry and which they well said the things would ascending into the depths of lies. to achieve full and you can assure the trust to deny the u.k. information on the case was not willing to discuss the question and denied any possibility of cooperation this is one hundred percent. of the worst some positive responses we heard via social media from the organization for security and cooperation in europe the o.s.c. they said that russia remained in a key role there more dialogue was needed we also understand from the russian delegation who tweeted during the meeting it was a closed meeting no press allowed but the delegates were able to tweet out every now and again they said that fourteen nations had backed russia's proposal we also heard from a senior figure in unti

real sins projected upon russia russia is. a normal country what kind of normal country is indeed is in what may seven major conflicts around the world without any kind of international mandate breaking international law on a regular basis was a function of the military. center themselves to be a normal kind of a concert consider themselves to be an exceptional one the us think of exceptional country and all the rest must listen and by the us doesn't want russia to be like them or god forbid they want russia to be like the other sorry. you want to russia to meet them alone to if you don't like. because an exactly errors have been around the edges even in the net and they're the ones that last week you had the parliament castigating and russian propaganda group called e.u. vs design fault for what for taking the dutch media for publishing news from russia calling it fake news the dutch parliament to the belt and they said that these people from there basically a government financed you versus theirs in for that they have no rig

russia calls for a u.n. security council meeting for the latest developments in this group powell case this is the u.k. lab that tested the nerve agent used in the attack in britain says it's unable to identify the source. in the wake of that british foreign secretary boris johnson is being called to account for his insistence that russia carried out the poisoning. facebook admits that tens of millions more people could be affected by the data harvesting scandal that initially told the data research company involved in the scandal disputes the numbers. as the u.s. state of michigan approved plans by food giants nestlé to extract small bore the bottling despite widespread local position. as very warm welcome to new york watching r.t. international with me becky airing our top story this hour russia has called for a u.n. security council meeting later this thursday mosco wants to discuss the latest developments in the case of the poisoning of former spice ok scott powell and his daughter in the u.k. in a rece

russia told the joint investigative mechanism we got a statement. who said that russia. responsibility for the use of chemical weapons in syria there was a kind of trial and i mean that if there were similar statements of fact. but. she never did that. in her predecessor. the. united nations certainly blamed the russia for a very high civilian for supporting the son who's the chemical weapons but the direct blame in russia for the use of chemical weapons in syria there was a very strange also very shocking because russia had very very high reputation in the world of chemical weapons let me ask you specifically about the role that the can play in all of that because unlike national governments unlike national delegations it is actually constrained by its own convention it has to follow the procedure all of these be seen as following the procedure. how much does god allow for political influences to be exerted on the. scientist and servant question. w. was. invented organization that would be purely technical. but . the structure or for office w. allow some politics so. co

to russia russia is a clear and present danger we have got to be fully organized to meet that danger or have to apologize. abject humiliation of the british government the prime minister and in particular boris johnson the foreign secretary in fact for him i believe this is a resigning mark because he didn't just join in the chorus of blame russia who lied on national television on the broadcast of the b.b.c. . i have spoken to the. porton down to a very guy who made. on behalf of wharton down and he said the guy told him that it was russia that did it could only have been russia that this was what's known a mistake it was a lie. russia was looking for answers to at least twenty questions regarding the script powell investigation during wednesday's meeting of the year they cover issues that just the sharing of information by the british side on the other members president putin is hoping for some definitive answers from the meeting what good will we do it amazes me how fast this anti russia hysteria has come about tomorrow we're calling in o.p.c. w meeting to get the facts straight o

in turn will be sharing that with russia russia's been asking these questions since day one since this horrible incident took place where does russia hope to get any answers to any of these quest while in fact russia is hoping to get some answers as early as this wednesday because this is when the o.p.c. w. members are meeting and this is a summit initiated by russia so this is why sergei lavrov hopes to get at least something out of the u.n. body on wednesday. in the beauty of our colleagues to answer the questions you want it's a work of fiction and be more specific. and so in general the russian foreign minister has expressed concern about the bloc of countries who seem to have agreed to put in everything on more school because in their opinion it seems it's not an investigation into who is behind the assassination attempt but more like how russia did or did give a direct order to its agents to go and assassinate sergei scruple and his daughter or whether or not russia just lost track of the nerve agent and did mr lavrov have anything to say about how russia's going to respond to th

and its allies squarely blaming russia. nor verify the precise source but we provided to the scientific information to the government. the international chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w is expected to shed more light on the case as it meets in the hague shortly. to get the facts straight on this whole situation we have a final conclusion will be reached there as to what happened in seoul. president putin's remarks came during talks with turkey's leader in ankara where they're due to attend the trial and told the mess with iran. and the manchester united legend on the european champion peter schmeichel kicks off his new show on our t.v. he travels to one of the cities hosting the world cup matches in russia this summer . a very warm welcome you're watching our team international with me thank you aaron good to have you with us. countries around the world are looking to the international chemical weapons watchdog today for our answers in the script poisoning case the o.p.c. w. is set to meet slated the day to discuss th

of council which will be transferred to russia so russia has to use. procedure that would show that russia full of international. weapons as is the bureaucracy better understand your correctly who pursues the bureaucracy. full of all the procedures of the convention unlike. now in one of your previous interviews he also said that the very categorical nature of britain's accusations against russia left its with no room for maneuver essentially london has no other way but to double down on its initial narrative regardless of how conflicting the evidence is and. i think that it was perhaps in our discussion on syria but and i'm going to ask you again do you think any amount of evidence any amount of testimony and due process following the rules is going to how to you this issue in a way that would be fair to all sides because from my position from my point of view what we have is that politico wrangling yet again nobody's really interested apart that perhaps for russia in establishing the scientific fact that's exactly true russia really interested in the

russia. the british authorities jumped to the conclusion that they wanted to see a thesis on a pretext and then invented the evidence to justify that. was circumstantial evidence that russia might have been involved and the british government quickly. built up on this but when you look at the statement today the only additional evidence is speculation it underlined the fact that the british argument so weak. and therefore it was a diversionary tactic to bring up the anniversary of the allegations concerning contrail corn. in fact the. mission weakness on the part of the british delegation if they were convinced the case got sold sprit they should have concentrated on on that exclusively the u.k. statement here designed precisely to muddy the waters and tooth near. russia. a number of russian diplomats have given their reaction to the latest developments in this group our case more on that from quite blunt and you've got a tough. there's a good share of irony in the u.k.'s latest accusations a

russia russian russian denali i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia. the u.k. foreign office tweeted that the new rich. no the agents used in the attack on sergei script bolland his daughter came from russia and then it will went south we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is so to be clear you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that britain's top chemical labs said that they had no idea where the nerve agent came from in direct contradiction to boris johnson's claims claims that he used to convince his allies to boot alex russian diplomats the foreign offices initial tweet was quickly deleted and all of it was blamed on a misunderstanding someone had transcribed it wrong except boris had said the same thing on video you argue that their source of a snuff edge and not the chalk is russia how did you manage to find i

it was russia. a lot of the fighters that came from the muslim north caucuses were sent to syria with the help of the kremlin. all while russia was talking about how in syria, we are fighting isis. defending only ones chris and tim. the former russian spy poisoning was in many ways a response to the election-meddling., a cleanup operation. in, paints him into a corner. corner.uts baby in a he lashes out. he claws his way out of a corner. i have a feeling there is going to be another kind of spectacular egregious act that he initiates in the coming year to get himself out of this corner. westis something for the to keep in mind, looking at this, with all of this i think putin is still trying to renegotiate the terms of surrender in the cold war. the mirror expulsions on the russian side, the statements about how the west has not proven anything in terms of the poisoning and election meddling, is putin trying to show the west and especially america is not in a position to punish russia. if you are the

medina, you have worked very actively with russia society and russia political opposition. i think, it wasn't a surprise, obviously, that putin won, in quotation marks, reelection. he got 77% of the vote, 67-- over 67% turnout. it seems it was a great success for the kremlin, in at least its ability to organize a national process and national election. i think the big question that many people continue to ask is to what extent is this seemingly broad support for putin, real? i put that in quotation marks. and do you think it actually shows that putin now has a career mandate to continue on this quite, say war mongering path with the west from the russian people? >> thank you for the question and thank you to brookings for hosting the panel discussion. it's great to be here. when we discuss russia today and discuss vladimir putin's system, things aren't always what they seem to be. the terminology, even the numbers. we keep talking about putin's upcoming fourth presidential term of course, in reality it's the fifth one unless we want to count seriously the so-called presiden

michael i just want to point out that no doubt critics of russia people who think this was russia will say well you know just because they don't know where the chemical came from it doesn't mean that it wasn't russian that is true it also means that we don't know who it could have been it could have been any country now this argument coming from the u.k.'s government was fundamentally based on the fact that you know they argued this could only have come from russia it gathered a lot of momentum a lot of other countries have got on board with them on this if this starts the full apart can they push you with an argument that isn't based on any concrete fact and mainly on the a belief that it was russia they have to start going backwards on this well it is a montra undertaken now by the west is part of this and russia is offering in in terms of straight. line up and when you have a particular in the middle east and what have you and and the west is losing and they they know it and so and with the hardened types that you have coming on board with the trumpet ministration most especially th

and of course the ambassador from russia is the russian ambassador. from russia is a russian so after a year long investigation that included seventy three interviews nine hearings and briefings and the review of countless documents what we're left with is the determination of no collusion and about as much proof as we had before the report came out which is little to none yeah i was just thinking you know facebook and twitter i think when you're on twitter if you're not trying to influence some of these opinion what are you really doing on there anyway just more thought many thanks. ok now we've also booked a legal media analyst london he believes that is investigating the trump russia alleged collusion to prove an entirely pointless. to lovers of logic and lovers of proof and lovers of justice i apologize and completely absent myself from anybody and anything in any organization that would think that in any way remotely represents anything of worth this is so sad so pathetic so embarrassing now all of the harm that was done from the accusations all

russia. well it relieve some of the pressure on it in the united states right now it's claimed that trump is beholden to putin for his election that's how or where things have gone so yes so it it serves his purpose there by relieving some of the pressure i recognize good to talk to you about situations like this it helps us kind of get an easier understanding of what's happening out there investigative journalist rick sterling thanks for being with us here on art international. thank you. i had to as we have previously mentioned russia has called for an international probe into the screen poisoning case moscow submitted a proposal to the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. but that request has been rejected artie's peter oliver reports now from the hague . and the day started with russia's permanent representative i'll extend the should again putting forward russia's proposal which was for what he called a communal a inclusive. investigation involving all members of the the o.p.c.

russia also annexed crimea. of course, this has led to a hardening of relations between ukraine and russia. in terms of the public mood, the ukrainian people, i grew up in ukraine and we had relatives in moscow. we really do not see a disconnect between the countries. now those borders feel very hard. i know they lead to many families falling out and not speaking to each other for quite sometime. but thesed joke, geopolitical events have very serious consequences. host: you have been in the u.s. for how many years? guest: since 1991. host: she is also author of "the dark side of european immigration." previously with the wilson center in the atlantic council. rachel in tennessee, republican line. caller: good morning. citizen, as an american and, you know, i am absolutely appalled by the state of relations between the u.s. and russia, partly because there seems to be nothing but a of weisan group think need to have russia as an enemy. you know, every single problem that we faced here domestically and every probl

the hacking accusations against russia came in a grand joint statement the british and u.s. cyber agency said russia could be laying the foundation for future offensive cyber attacks they warned backed by moscow i have been targeting government and private compete in. u.s. authorities say the hackers have been aiming to compromise key hardware like routers and phials that would give them control of data flows allowing them to steal data and carry out cyber warfare kremlin spokesman dmitri passed off spoke to journalists in a conference call and denied the charges. we don't know what accusations of russian cyber espionage are based on these accusations our voice so easily and no one bothers to find any reasoning whatsoever. so we treat such allegations accordingly. the allegations of russian cyber meddling are not new say last year because in russia believed to have targeted companies that had connections with ukraine the attacks caused billions of dollars in damage and earlier this year germany blamed russia for a hack of government computer networks in belin. the joint anno

security council meeting called by russia tonight a real frank and heated statement of russia's position and came forth and response in turn from the u.k. and then the u.s. in the coming hours much more russian reaction to that than the next news bulletin here just about twenty nine a half minutes away with me kevin when we get more great programs feline's up in your region after this break. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and spending to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to do because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will transfer. and thinks he's going to. win the whole make this manufacture game sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. time doing the whole middle of the room sit. around anymore you need. t

russia russia nonsense going on in the states i mean this is one of the reasons why people are pushing it because it dovetails very nicely into the the russian bogeyman on the stage ok i've watched the coverage in the us on the cable stations and hasn't gotten a whole lot of coverage but it what it does is that it's basically says well they're there they go again up to their nasty stuff that's how it's in played they're not nearly the same it has been in the u.k. what is to resumes the ultimate goal in all of this i mean. you know over the last few days a anti-aircraft talian has returned to germany that was withdrawn at the end of the cold war i mean is this where we're going to go here because i can tell you if they were if the nato wants to fight in a conflict with russia it will pay very dearly for it the i always tell my viewers here listen to the words not. the bluster because russia is prepared go ahead. now i think it's very interesting that against altenburg who is the head of nato right moment was one of the first people to say very clearly after the u.k. claimed it must be r

and not with russia moscow is now s. isolated as if anyone ever finds out who poisoned that's really the million dollar question but russia simply wants to use that the highest political stage of the u.n. security council to state it's arguments and insist to one small on its presumption of innocence ok so we may be looking at that meeting tomorrow the u.n. security council let's take this now to britain we've heard that the british chemical weapons expert has said that they can't pinpoint russia as those so worse of the poison that was used in the attack on mr screwball and his daughters how is moscow drawing that into its plans. well russian officials took it as yet another piece of evidence that the f.a.a. affair is part of a kind of pain to harm of their country and incident which. russian president vladimir putin said he didn't expect an apology from the u.k. but the t.d. to expect reason to prevail so that international relations don't sustain these kind of damage the press secretary of of president putin to meet t

with russia on democrats. trying to twitter page grabs the attention of the world but when trump tells russia to get ready for american missiles then calls for a stop to the arms race then blames the democrats for bad relations with moscow the world starts to get a little bit confused we decided to ask new yorkers what they think about the president's social media activity sht. short order do you think they came out in. bottom one first. top one sack in the middle one last actually it was that one was first of that moment second that was third russia vows to say this is first me you're correct that is the first one awesome ok oh i'm. second would be this much of the babbler. nope and so our relationship with russia is worse now and then much of the ok got it i'm thinking more one two three was sort of actually it's one two three ah if you were in russia if you were like in the russian foreign ministry how would you react to this one how would you interpret it i would take it very seriously united states is a s

of it and he said the guide told him that it was russia that did it could only have been russia that did this was what's known a mistake it was a lie we're learning now through wiki leaks that actually the u.k. and the u.s. have been aware of the truth of how a modern chemistry lab can make this particular next generation agent maybe the u.k. and us have been aware of the significance of that book and have been trying to suppress knowledge of that book so clearly for a decade now the u.k. and the u.s. have known that it can be made elsewhere it appears that they have just rushed in as a p.r. type. action and i think that's really dangerous because we are in a fatal diplomatic situation with syria we trade with the trade with this campaign the u.s. china as well i think it's a very reckless thing steve has done and i'm not quite sure why they did it i mean perhaps it's because of practice it wanted to puff themselves off as a big animal in the in say i don't know but you know it's just not a terribly sensible thinks the u.k. has done at this point. earlier my colleague kevin on discus

it's gone form it could be russia too it's highly likely to russian too of course it was russia and that's been the line taken by newspaper journalists writers that centra commentators on the b.b.c. and it's all the newspapers and it's not true this is fake news because it certainly is not proven that it came from russia you know that you said today you book down scientists saying that they cannot prove this substance was not a truck came from russia the original wording of course. statement was it was a nerve agent developed by russia which is very very different actually came from russia and as you just said there in europe or several countries are able to make this stuff and so it could be any number of countries who actually was responsible for this or even a non-state actor so i think it's quite interesting really what we've got the scientists on the one hand who are saying look we can't say this was a rush we can't prove this one for russia and yet we've got the political the neo con political establishment and. and there are a few people now because what's happened is because

russia invited the o.p.c. w a fact finding mission to the province and instead of washington instead of waiting for. the investigation to conclude b. actually had a military base and actually had an airbase a belonging to the syrian government dealing some damage to it they launched dozens of tomahawk missiles. basically preemptively when i say preemptively i mean before the investing investigation had a chance to include here and at this point yesterday and we've been seeing at the u.n. security council a lot of extremely heated exchanges between russia and the u.s. nothing new unfortunately let's take a listen to what was being so. clearly explained to me was this alleged chemical attack was unnecessary for the massacres especially for almost all militants were. today they vetoed for the sixth time a resolution condemning assad for chemical weapons attacks on his own people the remotely you have a radio towards a guilt in such cases bush in the wrong. way we are not able to support the text it would be like

not russia still with no evidence proof or real facts or samples even provided to russia that it's been asking for however the accusations really have been harsh here in westminster is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia koku culpable culpable for the attempted murder case is culpable calling. and we think it will mean you like to do it was his decision so those were statements from the british prime minister from the u.k. foreign secretary also at some point throughout this whole ordeal we heard the u.k. defense minister say something like russia should shut off and go away in this kind of tone indicating no room for negotiation and there was one voice however which was the leader of the opposition party german corbet he wondered whether there is room for dialogue or conversation or at least providing some information to russia as a result trace analysis been run on the some of the nerve agents and has not revealed any evidence as to the location of which production or the identity of which perpetrators. and the i.o.c. spending. and. does the prime minister agre
