through europe there are only individuals with children the law it's you have to be or all of them and to treat them with something that in respect. be the hero world needs right now. washington's. 0. hello there i missed this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes germany says russian opposition leader was poisoned by the soviet era chemical nerve agent. on trial in paris 14 accused of helping gunmen attacked

a french magazine which caused outrage by publishing cartoons of the prophet muhammad. the video that's provoked online anger over the tactics of the israeli military against palestinian activists. and the khmer rouge commander who oversaw the torture and killing of thousands of cambodians dies in hospital. all the sports them on to other p.s.g. players test positive for coronavirus as the french champions begin their title defense next week. alexina valmy is the victim of a mad attempt and russia must answer difficult questions that's a message from the german government which says it has an equivocal proof that the kremlin critic was poisoned with soviet era novacek know the agents the prominent dissidents fell ill on a flight last month 10 days ago he was and lifted from siberia to where doctors say

he is in a serious but stable condition doctors who treated him of on the in russia say they found no evidence of poisoning german toxicology tests detected novacek that's the same type of nerve agent that was used to poison former russian spy assegais scribal and his daughter in britain. 2 years ago alexina of only alexina vonnie was a victim of an attack of a chemical nerve agent of the not regional group this poison could be identified unequivocal in tests so it's clear that alex you know the victim of a crime he was supposed to be silenced and i together with the entire german government condemn this in the strongest possible terms this is disturbing information about the attempted murder through poisoning against a leading russian opposition figure of well we'll get reaction from the white house where kimberly's health has just standing by and also from the dame bother he's in london but 1st let's go live to journalist alexander soil of the court for she is

in moscow alexandra moscow here perhaps unsurprisingly pushing back on all this. yes of course it's not surprise their response which says on one hand the russia is ready to fully cooperate for an exchange of information and they tend findings which means that it should go both ways that they should be granted access to the findings of that with a round in the in germany the press secretary of russian president a president like him that brought in to me that the soft hearted even gets an official response to their official requests where they're requiring analysis done on the via me and actually generally everything that's been happening with him the moment he left arms hospital so he said that at this moment he cannot react with competence on this findings and now russian minister of foreign affairs has been much harsher calling this way of presenting findings a bullhorn to diplomacy saying that if the goal is to discover what happened with the vine event russia is ready to fully cooperate then that they were saying that

from the very beginning and to exchange the findings and they are but they are allowing for the possibility that this is all a way to impose a measures already decided upon that on the russia and in that case that berlin is disregarding official channels and what they're saying is that the statement that is saw the serious is not supported with facts they're saying that they are in better than in berlin was not given or presented any effects any findings any results even though he asked for now this reaction is not surprising because we heard it before in previous cases most recently in the case of poisoning of script by insoles very well in terms of sergei the germans are saying that this is from the same family of toxins that was used to poison him back in 2018 does that make it harder for the kremlin to distance itself here.

well yes and no because i mean they already had the similar responses to this clip by boys in england the suspects that were found by scotland yard identified as the military intelligence officers were here they were they said they are not there just curious that happened to be there this is pointing fingers without evidence they official line is that the evidence were not presented and if i recall correctly in that case as well russia asked for the axis to the findings and was refused so which they later said well you did not show us the evidence we want to call for it we want to discover what happened but you are not cooperating you are using this for politics they say and this is what we are hearing right now also it happened before and it is a sort of repetition of the similar situations in the past and xander. there with the view from moscow thank you very much alexandra well let's now get reaction from

the u.k. the other is in london for us the team i imagine this is reviving all those memories from scruples poisoning back in 28 in icy the u.k. is joining calls by by germany for a really thorough russian investigation. that's right very very very quick to react and prime minister boris johnson has actually put out a tweet saying the following it's outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against alexina valmy we've seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of not the joke in the u.k. the russian government must now explain what happened to mr novell need we will work with international partners to ensure justice is done so pulling no punches there just like the germans saying we think this is clear what happened it was an attack on alexei navalny and referring to the script outpaces your case as you were just hearing. alexei. sergei scripts to you were poisoned by novacek

in salzburg in southwest england in 2080 they survived but a member of the public called dawn sturgis diy did believe that she was poisoned by the same substance after coming into contact with a container containing the liquid and that caused a huge stink diplomatically at the time as you were just hearing although russia denied any involvement britain identified 2 russians that it says carried out that attack dominic robb britain's foreign minister in the last couple of hours has said in a statement the russian government has a clear case to answer it must tell the truth about what happened to mr in the valley and the french foreign minister john even though he all similarly says i wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the use of this nerve agent and just now we're getting a statement in on behalf of the european union saying that the use of chemical weapons in any circumstances is completely unacceptable breach of international law

and it's calling on russia to investigate fully and transparently and deem bother with all that reaction from europe in london for us thank you nadeem well there has also been very swift reaction from the us our white house correspondent kelly how the trends us now live from washington can be what are you hearing ivan. now the national security council of the white house releasing this statement that it is deeply troubled by the findings that have been released calling the poisoning wrap prehensile now the statement goes on to say that russia has used this particular chemical nerve agent in the past and now the united states says it wishes to work with its allies to hold russia responsible what does that look like while the united states says it will follow the evidence it will also seek to restrict funds of russia for its malign activities so the position of the united states coming from this national security council statement is that russian people have the right

to express their views without retribution and that includes any use of such an agent now what i can tell you is this is a very strongly worded statement from an administration that at times has been accused of being soft on russia it's clear that the united states is not only concerned about this incident but perhaps posturing and toughening up language in advance of the u.s. election given the fact that there is already evidence russia could interfere with the 2020 vote and is known to have interfered with the vote in 2016 very sensitive subjects that committee how has our white house correspondent thank you very much candy or no let's dig into this with us or she is a russia expert at king's college london department of war studies and she joins us now on skype from london thank you for being with us as we've been hearing that quite the company of course for a full russian investigation on these in germany so let's start there where are

relations now between balin and oscar. well it's very interesting that the earlier today actually i'm going to mark and we're saying back to stream to pipeline which was there always are a bit of a subject of control of the sea because of american pressure to sort of put an end to that pipeline was actually going to go ahead and that the german government was going to push ahead with the construction of its part of the pipeline so that relations were not a stranger on other occasions are armed these might really have are i'm impact overall at least in the short term there is going to be probably some kind of strain and our lot will depend on how the kremlin reacts and what kind of effort is done on the side of moscow to do at least show that they're ready to find out what actually happened well michael is now saying they'll be consulted asians with the e.u. and nato nato has already condemned just in the last couple of hours here pointing

out the navi chalk is considered a chemical weapon prohibited under international law others are doing the same how could this affect russia and the region given that the blocks are now getting involved. yes i mean it is it is a real problem the question of the use of chemical weapons is an issue very much of concern among military circles in europe this is iraq. substance that is bound by the chemical weapons convention and every time there is use of these kind of agents it creates concern that it could be used again and also that there could be some really kids from institute's or institutions out to have these kind of of of agents of cory's and so you know was creates concern among the military establishments in the west if these kind of much areas are used are not only if there is intention of usage but also if there is

a lack of proper monitoring of the institutions that have these substances stalled in the middle of one of the differences between what we saw with cripple and souls were in 2018 in this incident with novelli is that this one took place essentially on russian soil does does that change anything. it does change it in terms of this is not seen as a sort of a direct attack in in a western on western territory which is also seen as an attack on potentially a western oh a citizen or a citizen trying to get asylum in the west so this is seen kind be seen more of us are defining china not fair in russia but to us with no question countries are very concerned about events my strickly in russia that there are always efforts to try to sort of build bridges to negotiate for example strategic on's negotiations which are going on in vietnam their efforts to resolve for example the conflict in the

dawn on us and these kind of events you know they sort of i'm don't mind the confidence i'm that russia is not in full song kind of agreement on issues which are of interest also to the west so they haven't come. on a variety of questions including of course being the rules i mean the west is trying in some way to work somehow together with a rush to resolve a. quandary without that you so foals when these events take place they really undermined their will see billy g. of considering russia a sort of a reliable partner of the west and in public opinion sort of. opinion decision makers also you know become very very mad worried that this is sort of not their bright line of engagement with russia and that coal is interesting only within you know members of the media in germany calling for

a much tougher line on the kremlin experts were quiet in the questions here they're calling for a stronger sanctions arms. well i apologize we do seem to have lost it on the tele but we were just rounding up there explaining just how isolated moscow is while russia's foreign minister is now accusing outside forces of meddling in belarus so gay lavrov says activists from ukraine are trying to create violent protests but didn't provide any evidence that the u.n. his foreign minister has told al-jazeera that what he called russian weakness may be behind the kremlin's decision to back president alexander lukashenko about it smith has more from the lithuanian capitol hill meus footprints the group looking emboldened with messages of support from russia alexander lukashenko says they'll be a bloodbath if he's forced from the presidency if valor rips the approach of the shitty i want to protect what we spent 25 years creating there are thousands millions of

people behind me they're the ones i'm worried about i'm not worried about power as some in russia say luker is clinging on with blue hands i don't want them to cut my country up after i glued it together after the broken pieces of the soviet empire. they've been for weeks of peaceful protests in the capital minsk. said he won 80 percent of the vote for his reelection the e.u. u.s. and u.k. say voting was neither free nor fair. russia's foreign minister says without providing evidence that what he described as 200 extremists from ukraine have infiltrated the protests and the trying to stir up violence. suppose for years sure we have confirmation that this is being directed from ukraine to a tory there are non-government organisations working to provoke radical offense and other battles styles but it russia has been in conflict with ukraine for 6 years lavrov who met his belarus counterpart on wednesday said nato and e.u.

calls for new elections are destructive. lithuania's foreign minister told al-jazeera he thinks russia is making a strategic mistake by backing lucas. unfortunately russia still continues to support this compromise to the ship not understanding that the only process out of this situation and what there is an ink it's another question maybe they believe it's weakness of the will give up or somehow to sacrifice of this leader which is totally compromised but there is also the to have this back home and. also. spoil relations with the people of the little is because they are not on the russian. lithuania latvia and estonia have imposed travel bans on and 28 other members of his government and want the rest of the e.u. to follow suit for thursday russia's prime minister heads to mend on friday defense

minister is in moscow all indications at the kremlin is sticking by alexander lukashenko the european union hasn't taken sides but it has called for new elections for the imposition of sanctions on those it says are responsible for election fraud and violence against protesters. al-jazeera vilnius. more ahead for you this news hour including the 1st case of coronaviruses recorded in the morea migrant camp. we'll get more on how medics there hope to deal with an outbreak plus why there's a buzz around beekeeping in western georgia. and this time favorite has got himself into a spot of bother at the thought of fronts details coming up in support. of

14 people accused of helping gunman attack the french the terrible weekly charlie hebdo and a jewish supermarket have gone on trial in paris the magazine was targeted after publishing controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad 17 p. . killed in the attacks that took place in the city 5 years ago. the. victims and their families were school today into a paris courtroom at the start of the trial into the jan reach 2015 paris attacks 14 people are accused of helping 3 gunmen who carried out the assaults that killed 17 people 11 were in court 3 are being tried in absentia some could face life in jail. so you don't shareef shot dead staff at the offices of the satirical newspaper. and a policeman outside they claimed the attack in the name of al qaida france's former antiterrorism prosecutor described arriving at the scene. there was

a very powerful silence the smell of blood and gunpowder overwhelmed the building the editorial room was carnage it was no longer a crime scene it was a war zone with bodies piled up one on top of the other it was frightening if. in the 2 days that followed the challis abdo attack ality coulibaly who had pledged allegiance to eisele shot dead a policewoman and 4 jewish people in a kosher supermarket police killed coulibaly just hours off the officers tracked down and killed brothers who'd been on the run. prosecuting lawyers said the violence would not have been possible without help from the accused a lawyer for one of the defendants though said france's intelligence services that's a bear some responsibility just about this would not have happened if the intelligence services had not stopped watching the brothers and i made equally badly and also the real accomplices are not prosecuted those who supplied the weapons are not

being prosecuted in this trial the attackers targeted surely update because the newspaper had repeatedly published cartoons of the prophet mohammed drawings that is designed to repopulate on his front page to mark the start of the true. some say that's a provocation but lawyers for surely you have to say it's an expression of freedom of speech is priest charlie this is the spirit of charlie to refuse to give up our freedom give up our laughter or our freedom to criticize or bless him because if we give those we face a very bleak future for our children hundreds of witnesses will be called to testify over the next 2 months including survivors 5 years on and emotions are still raw memories painful but their hope is that justice will be served natasha butler al-jazeera paris. well french president has wrapped up a visit to iraq with a joint news conference with the prime minister and baghdad around is the most

senior foreign official to visit with stuff out of the me since he took office in may discussed iraq's sovereignty in light of the rival influences from iran and the united states. any foreign intervention may undermine the 1st exerted by you as a government and i believe this visit because the special significance as you represent a heavyweight in the region you are the cradle of civilization and iraq has always enjoyed a unique position in whose to a geographic large scale land we needed iraq earlier. we do not wish iraq to be a battlefield for proxy wars we wish all neighboring in international states to respect iraq's sovereignty and refrain from meddling in our domestic affairs. when our council as a mayor has stressed the need for a fair resolution to the israeli palestinian conflict through the pursuit of a 2 state solution shakman been hamada thought he hosted president some senior adviser jared questioner on wednesday christmas made a stop in castle during his tour of the middle east while he's looking to gain the

support of more arab nations after he announced the u.s. brokered deal to normalize relations between the u.a.e. and israel it's yet to be formalized but palestinians have denounced that deal saying it betrays their rights on monday the white house advisor arrived in the u.a.e. from israel on the 1st direct flight between the 2 nations because now was joined by an israeli delegation he then set off on a tour of other gulf capitals on tuesday looking for more arab support in bahrain he met king hamad bin khalifa before flying to saudi arabia for talks with crown prince mohammed bin salah i have been for years a cattle and sat down with al jazeera and spoke about ending the palestinian israeli conflict. a lot of reason why this hasn't been resolved for decades is because people get caught in slogans and there's a lot of politics involved what president trump did is he's the 1st leader to put a team on it and then very carefully go through all of the details in order to put out a program sweeping released a proposal called president trump's vision for peace which is $180.00 page proposal

israel said in their proposal they would negotiate on the basis of it that outlined a map which had never happened before the palestinians had always said if israel will greet to a map will everything else will be easy so it outlined the map it outlined a security regime they'll keep palestinians and israelis safe and outlined a way to reform the economy and it did a lot of other things as well so that offers on the table the palestinian leadership rejected it before it even was published and they knew what was in it so hopefully as tensions come down people will look at what's best for the palestinian people what's best for the region in the move forward and that's why again this trip was so his store because instead of focusing on all the negativity that people have focused on for a long time and reciting the same talking points that are tired or you know being in the same happened sort of the same dead ends leaders rose above these these these traps and they found a way to move forward and that's why people in this region should be hopeful it's very easy to find ways to be content to condemn to

a bad past but we need our visionary leaders now who can find a way to articulate and create a much more brighter and hopeful future a video of an israeli soldier that needling on a palestinian activist has provoked anger online and also drawn comparisons to the killing of george floyd by police in the united states soldiers say they were provoked but palestinians say it's part of a wider passion of aggression the need to abraham reports from the occupied west bank. moments like these are rarely caught on camera that's why this video of 6040 year old lady had known when. he was protesting against another israeli land grab and told him in the north of the occupied west bank on tuesday he's a long time activist against israeli policies against past. and says the thing through thing is really violence to create fear among the.

one soldier threw me to the ground and handcuffed me he started putting his knee on my neck and when i felt this i remembered the u.s. officer kneeling on the head of the black american man i couldn't resist any more because the more i resisted the harder you press the israeli army says it's commanded had jaundice thing but had no one's actions provoked him to act it's his head noone was resisting arrest. i did hamad fears losing his land to the industrial park israel plans on building here 2 weeks ago israeli bulldozers started making way for a bypass. i have been farming the stand for the past 20 years my 90 year old father has been taking care of it before me it's our land which logic says that now they want us out of it because it's a straight line. not only do illegal israeli settlements and that infrastructure isolate palestinian communities palestinians say that the israeli government is ensuring that settlements in the occupied territory are fully connected with one

another and israel the u.n. says the sutler attacks against palestinians are increasing and palestinian officials say that the israeli government has been speeding up document construction since the beginning of the year and to learn to read. these radio key patients building settlements in lands that weren't included in the u.s. mideast peace prize israel wants more than 50 percent of the occupied west bank instead of the 33 percent proposed on the trumpet you were not to mention which is off the table. trader hanlon's as he would keep pushing against israeli settlement plans that are inching closer and closer into every palestinian village. he tells us the images spreading on social media are stronger than and us tend. to him. the occupied west bank. while still ahead here on al-jazeera mexico as matter wait

into the street and julian on global community this generation will have to create its own democracy with social media on and will online be part of the debate any comments to you when no topic is off the table is taking on all the systemic violence that people of color have suffered not only now but for decades we are going to need to transform lives the way to see which way to get business if we're going to adapt to climate break down this street on out is there when the news breaks and the story i mean and there i read this explosion when people need to be how. we would like and the story needs to be told to al-jazeera as teams on the ground and major categories are giving it away and the control to bring you more room rules when documentaries and rely. on and and online.

i missed all the attainder that's remind you of our top stories here the salad tests in germany on russian dissident alexina vonnie have found unequivocal evidence of poisoning was not a chemical from a group of soviet era nerve agents involved he fell ill last month and was airlifted from siberia to germany chancellor angela merkel has described the poisoning as attempted. the trials begun in fronts of 14 people accused of helping gunmen attacked the child you have to a magazine and it's your supermarket 17 people were killed in paris 5 years ago after the satirical magazine published cartoons of the prophet mohammad which and

rage to muslims while why. men have opened fire on a crowd gathered at a memorial service in the mexican city of killing at least 6 people it came just hours after mexican president under arrest manual obrador admitted that murders and extortion by gangs had increased since he took office well that's now speak correspondent daniel apollo he joins us live from mexico city a massacre at a funeral what happened. details are still limited on exactly what happened what the motives were in this instance in question of aka but it is important note that it's not an isolated incident this is something that's the state unfortunately has seen repeated since may and on august 14th 6 men were killed when drinking on the street what we know about this incident in particular is that as of today as of wednesday 9 people are confirmed dead there

are still several others that are wounded after a gunman opened fire at this funeral that was being held for a young man that had previously died in a motorcycle accident now there are a couple of important things to note the 1st of which is that this part of the country is. is known to have a lot of cartel activity including activity from the highly skilled new generation cartel which is gained a lot of newer notoriety recently but this also happened just after president of the discipline to elope is what i thought had given his his state of the nation speech where he touted gains being made in terms of curbing back violence and curbing in curbing violent crime in the nation so people have been quick to point out that irony man i'm wondering we keep seeing matter right records broken and mexico what's driving that as the coronavirus pandemic played into any of this at all. so last year for example $21000.00

was the most murderous year since records began and in mexico the total but in all of 200-1000 was $35588.00 homicides and if you look at the data so far into in 2020 between january and july of this year's been almost 18000 recorded homicides with 11 states saying that they've seen an increase in violence compared to the same time period last year and we're seeing instances of cartels entering parts of the country that they weren't operating in before instances of cartels challenging the authority of government security forces so the short answer to the question of insecurity in mexico unfortunately despite the pen demick which is one thing that many people here in the country say is that is the one thing that hasn't been affected by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak the question of insecurity is that it is unfortunately getting worse that for us in the mexican capital thank you very much. u.s. secretary of state my compare has announced sanctions against the top prosecutor at the international criminal court he accuse the court of illegitimate attempts to

that is the main that is the main purpose for us was to ensure that he gets out of course the fact that he has been incarcerated all this time is a huge injustice conditions are extremely strict we feel that they are overly stringent they do even restrict his constitutional rights. the high court judge banned both men from posting on social media until the case is finalized on his 1st few private consultations and they also have to surrender their possible it's and to report to the police 3 times a week but they say they will not be silenced no trial date has been set for a new zimbabwe. regretted. withdrawn as a matter of free corruption is zimbabwe that restricts how many rights indian sport is probably that respect going to neverland. as
