foreign secretary dominic rop a power 8 concluded that the 2019 general election wasn't purely the democratic will of the people in action the government has concluded that it is almost certain that russian actors start to interfere in the 21000 general election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired in league government documents whilst there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian campaign against a general election and any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable this is of course the general election that boris johnson historically stormed to power largely as a result of his uncompromising probiotics it stance as we heard that raul is suggesting that this alleged interference was done this through the online promotion of a you leaked documents regarding a potential u.s. u.k. trade deal. now some might remember that this document was a secret it was leaked and it was posted online and it really cool outrage in the

public especially after that may have been made jeremy cool but he was of course humiliating the need to feed to the polls came out waving the paper and saying well this is a classic example of how the government cannot be trusted one of the things here that trying to sell off the national health service you can see that is going to give it over and privatizing the americans the implication that seems to be that is that if these unnamed and mysterious russian actors hadn't somehow been posting constantly about these documents online then this they wouldn't have in any way piqued the public's interest but i think many people would find not an unconvincing argument given how you know that the brits are so proud of the n.h.s. you know and this is really been something that's come to the fore during the pandemic with everyone in the weekly clap. karras now this little columns in the run up to the publication of a government report on russian interference in u.k. politics as a whole we don't know exactly what's going to be enough to 50 page document but

likely that's going to be concentrating on the 2016 referendum now this has been in the works 8 months but we're expecting it any day now and it's highly anticipated so it's potentially a case that robs words of sort of an appetizer for the main course that's yet to come and have to wait and see just on the words the claims being made today are not exactly definitive the way that being said a lot of questions as well it appears absolutely there are a lot of question marks that's a bit of deja vu to start with rob. is quite reminiscent of 2 reason may's highlight to me when she was talking about the script of poisoning which still 3 years on is still but still remains a bit of a mystery it is highly likely that russia was responsible we do believe russia koku culpable culpable for the attempted murder.

and this is in fact something that has been picked up by the russian side let's listen to what they reacted. the looks like another use of highly likely tactics but it seems he has given up on this term based on previous years' experience even more so now the british government gives us the new slogan almost certainly. that's a bit of mixed messages since the prime minister himself boris johnson twice in fact in the immediate aftermath of his triumph at the polls said he didn't seal that were no suspicions of sinister outside forces there is. absolutely no evidence that i've ever seen of the russian the difference in u.k. democratic process then there's this very vague russian actors no one can really understand what that means is that the kremlin itself is a russian nationals is it russian companies as a people simply watching out of russia is that people who are simply affiliated with russia for example anything absolutely that i would say many references to

anonymous sources not just of course in the u.k. in the us during the news or investigation as well so there is a sudden drop is choosing his words carefully because perhaps he doesn't have the information all the concrete at least facts that he needs in order to be more specific and more precise this is of course a developing story there's a reaction constant emerging so we'll be following and seeing how it all plays out let's continue with this story and move to the u.k. were independent journalist martin somers will speak to us martin good to see you how convincing do you find this accusation from dominic robb that russia allegedly interfered in last year's election by leaking documents. well when the documents were leaked or stolen as they seem to be implying they were obviously of some interest in the election because of the question of whether there was going to be a deal on the national health service with the year the us but i see this as related to the russian bird document which they've been holding back about

general interference in u.s. u.k. politics what's happened in the in the security committee is that the government wanted chris grayling the m.p. to take over this committee was definitely their their their protege but the committee rebelled him as a point to julian lewis who was another conservative to head the committee and because he frustrated the current government he's been expelled from the conservative party now what i suspect is in this document is the sorts of things that were said about the hacking of the democratic national committee servers in the run up to the election in the us in $26.00 to $1.00 and of course that was suggested that somehow the russians have hacked the servers but we know that that wasn't the case because bill. bins the former head of the national security agency in the us has said definitively that they were taken from a the earth or

a memory stick it wasn't a hack and also the wiki leaks who basically published published the material said that they were given it not it wasn't hacked they were given it and of course what that showed was that the democratic national committee was rigging the election and nobody in the us or anywhere else was suggested that the what's in that document is not correct the real scandal is that there rigging the elections and of course they then pretend that the russians on leaking this material because it's incredibly embarrassing that they've been caught rigging the elections and i think what's going to you know we don't know what's going on here but it's all mixed up with this is it politics at play 1st and foremost here because surely you know better than me but the british government things have enough on its plate at the moment without making these rather vague accusations against russia the public how do you think they'll view that. well i think what because they've got this rather embarrassing report come out we don't know what scene 8 but it probably suggests

linkages between top tories and russian business people wouldn't be at all surprising if they got funding from that direction and that's a point that's quite likely embarrassing for the government so what they're doing is they're coming out with a preemptive strike and of course this is all linked to the general campaign of vilification against russia operation beluga as we know it's called from the inside the intelligence services here and anytime there's an attempt to reprocess mom or discussion on matters of mutual interest then suddenly these allegations are wheeled out to prevent any progress and that's basically how i see it you pick a document russia supposed to have stolen relates to the n.h.s. being on the table of sorts seen in u.s. u.k. trade talks surely such information in any case should not have been made secret in the 1st place that this is this is such a big aspect of british life the n.h.s. that get it out there get it the bait it however it can hurt well that's right if

even if the russians hand hacked it out all of the russian intelligence services had stolen the d.n.c. these emails the fact of the matter is what is what the material showed us in the 1st case is that they were negotiating with the americans to privatise the n.h.s. that's what people who were here a year or in the 2nd case that the d.n.c. committee was rigging the primary process against bernie sanders which again is very significant but it's not nothing to do with the russians it's to do with the corruption of politics in the west. there appears to be something of a pile on i have no idea whether or not it's happening at the same time for a reason but you may remember that. germany which a few days ago blame russia for hacking parliament there in 2015 the timing on the stories essentially coming out almost at the same time after so long previously not

. well in the russian case of course the big the big issue is the completion of the german case story is the completion of the new stream $2.00 which is just about to come on stream and of course the deep state in the west is very unhappy about that and the whole policy has been to prevent constructive relationship she's seen russia and the west and if any politicians in the west even consider trying to extend any kind of olive branches then all of this stuff is immediately wheeled out it's becoming pretty stale actually i think people who follow these things are beginning to realize that this is just an ongoing psychological warfare campaign martin for your time and your thoughts this hour thanks as always independent journalist martin somers. election interference is not the only accusation being leveled up in moscow today russian hackers have been accused of targeting corona virus vaccine research we'll get into the total later.

ok moving the program on for years in germany vulnerable young boys had been placed in the foster care of paedophiles a dumbing study by held this time university also say's the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue their cases 3 decades from the early 1970 s. on which peter over has been speaking with some of the victims who bravely came forward. decades of abuse carried out by those put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the

1970 s. berlin authorities placed children in the care of a convicted paedophile named h. i spoke to 2 of his victims to protect their right to anonymity they'll be named only. and marco. our daily lives are dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad should have nothing to do with them if we wanted to go anywhere we were forbidden every day it was mental and physical mistreatment and we're only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened that was our life the worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and the fight to preserve yourself what makes this more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as essentially being. as part of an

experiment. rated psychologist helmet and even after his death in 2010 was regarded as they found. he was in effect little more than a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment called in 2017 my thought was this can't be true i was not a mere product of chance i was deliberately selected by the berlin branch of the s.p.d. party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt. them and particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a 1st. their investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the post-war era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very

humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing how life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check . those responsible are still sitting in offices or enjoying their pensions they're trying to hide behind a statute of limitations to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a foster parent authors of a study into the kempler experiment of told r.t. that there is no way his crimes were carried out without the welfare office being directly involved in germany of course to care is the responsibility of the youth welfare offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always

grow up on just 8 observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u.k. welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of kempler and his experiment in senator's told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further research can be limited only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an application to the conference of ministers to deal with sexual violence and foster homes the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the government it makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for legal action today after having been. failed by the authorities then. the berlin senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it it's already been admitted verbal leap

but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small then criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then there's been no contact with the senate it's impossible to build up such an organization on this scale without state help. we expect justice our lives have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in this situation by the government deliberately it was not an accident as we thought until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as $10000.00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly harrowing story of exploitation and failure to protect the

state who is expressly directed to protect. the us where new york police officers injured a vicious attack by a protester on wednesday while they were supervising a march against gun crime they were assaulted when marchers met kuntar protesters unbroken bridge officers were making an arrest when an 'd identified man is seen running towards the officers and then beating them with. the n.y.p.d. 3 of its officers injuries including a police chief who last month showed his sole authority with other protesters by taking a knee. beautiful moment of calm there as chief terrance monaghan of the new york city police department kneeled in solidarity with protesters. well we've been getting reaction to tell me it's not just this week or last weekend but

through the weeks retired philadelphia police captain religious has says that it no things like open season on officers who are paying for the actions of a few. they're obviously much more concerned nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there's such the same called a halo effect and that is now rio officer is being assertive. and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were. totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even pushed this guy away took them to the ground focused weapon you want to win over. empathy for your movement. do the right thing justice is for everybody the solution to violent protest is to confront the

reason you have violent protests confront the economic disparities can confront the job lack of job opportunity confront the lack of education for black people these are the so yes that go into these protests. dozens of people including children have been reportedly killed in a bombing raid by the saudi led coalition in yemen and warning you may find the following images the storming on wednesday the bombs in london in a residential area in the north of the country where a family celebration was taking place according to local media and we've launched some of the. images here but you can clearly see who are mainly being targeted is the young according to the rebels who control the area 25 people were killed the strong international condemnation including from the u.n.

children's fund unicef however there's been no immediate comment from the saudi coalition which has always claimed its bombing raids only target the rebel it's. the coalition has said however it will investigate sunday's strike which claimed the lives of 7 children and 2 women the u.n. humanitarian office in yemen confirmed those that the bombing happened in her province in the country's northwest. course the arabia's bombing campaign has been running since march 25th claiming tens of thousands of lives and creating what the u.n. calls the worst humanitarian disaster on earth but the u.k. has decided to keep selling lethal weaponry to the saudis trade secretary liz krause made the announcement a year after a british court ordered the government to stop processing new arms licenses as a potential violation of international humanitarian law however the u.k. is still able under the process to sell weaponry under those existing licenses. i

have assessed that there is not a clear risk of the export of arms and military equipment to saudi arabia might be used in the commission often serious violation of international humanitarian law i.e. united kingdom actually still sending these workers do you know saudi arabia i don't understand the basis of you know hypocrisy there completely completely misleading to everybody because it is a government that are seeking a lot of money from the sort of the every get this is they believe they wouldn't be and yet they didn't do i mean you know a cold case and this so they know that they can go get away with it this is a problem but what's needed at least an arm bill is that about $2000000000.00 pounds so i think people have money now they are not looking for human rights they are not looking to protect their. people poor people in yemen which is the really

really that leak is. now taking place in the hole where so it is if you save lives the government those who have to supply the saudi with the sleep who were built. the british us and canadian cyber security services of accuse russian hackers of targeting kobe boxing developers the state of the research that you can officially claim a hacker is almost certainly of links with russian intelligence. it is completely inacceptable that the russian intelligence services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic while other sports you there are selfish interests with reckless behavior the keen and satellites are getting on with the hard work of finding a vaccine and protecting global health. the kremlin has denied any links to cyber attacks on research centers and sees no information about research institutions across russia are working on their own potential vaccines and awareness that moscow

is such an off university entrance to a potential breakthrough. and with more. we've been livin in corbett shadow for months now the world health organization calls it public enemy number one and it's not to loosen its grade more than 13000000 people are currently in fact worldwide back thing remains world's best hope to return to make life and the raise to find a treatment to protect all of us has been accelerating moskos session of university has been conducting russia's 1st human trials about a month ago 38 volunteer is men and women aged between 18 and 60 stepped in to help they were given injections before spending weeks in complete isolation under the close supervision of doctors and scientists and today the 1st volunteers have been discharged 1st 3 were in isolation at a health resort for 2 weeks that was the preparation period then we were brought

here for 20 days i work in public catering so i'm always around people when this started i realized how many people who feeling sick so i decided to help there was nothing special just a vaccination it isn't scary it's like a fever reducing injection another group of the volunteer is expected to be discharged on monday but after that all those who participated in the trial will still be monitored by scientists and doctors doctors here are confident that the 1st phase has been a success to vaccine nor the protein produced after danger actually provoked the disease to do so had a temperature of 30 degree celsius which chills out a headache but all that was gone on the 3rd day there was a little pain i had no sign. defects no high temperature i got a headache in the evening i told the doctors and they started to check me every hour in the morning my body temperature rose 37.5 degrees but that said there were

no other problems with phase one now complete next comes the big test hundreds and then thousands of people given doses to test the drug's effectiveness if everything goes well researchers hope the vaccine could officially be registered by the end of the summer. this is not only about immunity itself but about do ration after the drug is approved there will be broader tests not 30 volunteers but hundreds of people so that we can assess how long the immunity lasts this will be the next piece of clinical trials we hope for success because we believe it will save many lives and help us to defeat the virus our knowledge of immunity is still evolving and one recent study suggests that antibodies start to fade away after a matter wigs and even a person unprotected but russian scientists say it's important to say on top of the facts. we hear sensational news every week somebody says or writes something and it

causes a stir these announcements often contradict each other for the past 6 weeks we've seen conflicting data or the number of treatment drugs and we see the same when it comes to the duration of immunity the world health organization says around $21.00 potential vaccines are currently on to go in human trials more than $130.00 are there is are at an even earlier stage they are still being tested on animals this is sort of in moscow section of could be the 1st to get that much needed treatment out into the world to keep all that 19 at bay and get all our lives back to normal written ocean r.t. from moscow. residents in the ruined ancient iraqi city of most. of a new bottle in their homes after emerging from the shadow of what was the former stronghold of islamic state now the people are having to deal with the pun demick just like all of us but for them it's particularly tough it means some are again

risking their lives. my job is to help people stay positive given the best available treatments and make sure they get through this as well as possible and. he had been and i want to make sure an 11 day a lockdown doesn't turn into something much more on that.

people have grown used to the daily risk of death there is a sense of fatigue we need to give people a sense of hope during the lockdown. and what an amazing job she is doing now labeled the most fertile woman in africa ugandan. stall moshing 38 children she's not yet 40 and her life story believe me is just as eye opening it's told next do not go too far. will.
