why won't it be more like golf been accusing all. the news. says my. goodness. we have giuliani sides in solitary confinement in the prison for terrorist oh wait you don't have a life person. i don't see him dying. i don't. know what he's going. the u.k. insists that russia is a top security priority after its intelligence committee q. says london about to be ignoring brushes meddling in british politics we get reaction from people in london i just think we can't get right so what should be to . his home nothing to do with them but there was

a shot of russia or. just buy. a new dollars proposed in the netherlands which if passed would give people the right teeth in a.z. even if they are not suffering from any medical conditions to put the thorny issue up for debate it is for elderly people. themselves so nobody else think they are alive at this moment no worth living any more compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to. the u.s. accuses china of sponsoring hackers to spy on american companies working on a vaccine for coded 9 take. hello there is 3 pm here in moscow are you watching r t international now the u.k. government claims it has recognized the threat posed by russia for

a long time considers moscow a security priority it also says it has a 30 year strategy for dealing with the kremlin this was london's response to a report on alleged russian meddling in british politics that was released on tuesday it accuses the u.k. of failing to take the threat seriously. who is protecting the british public from interference in our democratic process blue note show. no wonder you keep up it's now your poll most of its focus on terrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is a total government had been badly underestimated the stones required to be russian straight and is still fully conscious yet range isn't that there was interference yeah we're used to know. if there was. well the russian report had been sent on by the government for sorry sat on by the government for a year and

a half before it was finally released on change day auntie's down hawkins looks at what he said they get a very brief summary of the long awaited russia report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appeared to suggest that her majesty's government had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in u.k. democratic processes seems to be enough so if you're short on time or don't want to read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel scott what signal otherwise let's go on. open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it or anti e.u. stories on our t.v. and sputnik and the use of bots in trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process we have sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or built on these studies in response in my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the report's authors were seemingly

surprised by the limited response of the intelligence services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling international domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and artie's editorial policies and coverage breaks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under fire but it's still russia that poses the risk and the security services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u.k.'s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u.k. politics through digital media wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threats of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of

taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations that again the impact of such influence remains elusive. the impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and we have not sought to do so state agencies haven't looked closely enough for open source information according to the report they lacked a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more important role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way christopher steele author of the infamous anonymous golden shower dossier and contributors that the institute for state craft and integrity initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise

the states that russia is a threat and moscow's response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u.k. however small is still be on the horizon that hawkins there we've got reaction on the streets of london to the claims that were made in the russian report your nation i don't believe. the position more saddam or destruction was really going on . and the fact there were a shot of russia was there just by the enemy i just think we can't get to the way she seemed to feel and this kind of thing to do with them lately to know if they were telling us now wait it may take a listen to beginning where. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people will try to influence a road government's interest. former british ambassador to his pakistan and human

rights advocate craig money moderators believe in the u.k. is determined to ruin any relations with russia. reporter's extremely unconvincing in itself and that it doesn't even purport to give any evidence of what it claims to be happening i think it's a you know it's fairly laughable there's nothing concrete in that the u.k. is determined to ruin your russian relations you must remember there are people in the armaments industry and the security industry who make a lot of money out of having blusher as an enemy of the security industry armaments industry need an enemy in order to get the best of us mugs took to pay them billions and billions in our taxes every year but they suck out of the system and that's what this is about this is about. and then we in fact there's no division at

all for enmity between the u.k. and russia and certainly no imagery between the u.k. people and the russian people. now a new law has been proposed in the netherlands which if passed would allow elderly people to opt for assisted suicide even if they are not suffering from many medical conditions and evidence is one of the few countries that have legalized euthanasia however the m.p. behind the bill does claim that the current laws don't go far enough. right now people jump into a canal or put a plastic bag on their head they sometimes have to choose the most terrible ways to die that's why i want to give the possibility to die with dignity with members of their family or friends near them i think this law is important even if it's about a few people because we give them the possibility to have a say on their end of life even when they're not terminally ill or suffering medically but still suffering. well at present dutch law say that person is only

eligible for euthanasia if their suffering is unbearable with no prospect of improvement at least 2 doctors must check the patient's condition before administering. a lethal injection to the person they are also there are also strict requirements as to how the procedure itself is carried out and who actually performs it well the proposed law has drawn criticism with people arguing authorities should do more to help people in the rather than just hand them a suicide pill we put the issue up for debate with robert your query he's the executive director of world foundation of right to die associations and also with roger cleese he's from the christian legal center. if they spark off a policy goal get around the people a good quality of life of course and face a bit strange to talk about the law which is terminating life has being told make better quality of life but that's exactly what the law is for it is for

elderly people or themselves so nobody else no family think their life nice at this moment no worth living anymore not because they are ill but just because they are too old for them selfs and in reality 98 percent of them as a study has shown if given the proper bedside manner if shown that they are worth something when we want to live so as a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to death and i am confident that it all countries around the world doc clones are helping patients die if they really do want to die but it is done in secret and in the netherlands said east we do it in the open and so we know we in the netherlands how many times a doctor he's forced in his own id to assist someone to determine it's his life any time there is a debate about assisted suicide euthanasia the point of this is we could always

point to the netherlands because there it is it is gone from bad to worse i think dutch doctors have gone from euthanizing the terminally ill to the chronically ill people a serious disability to the mostly and mentally ill now that it is being elderly euthanasia was a platform of nazi germany as well so we can derive it. the reality is you don't think it's all of us we should use army and we should want people to look at all these efforts made with covert to keep the elderly communities safe. why would we now throw it out of the window and say at 75 your life is no longer worth living if you don't want to live it let's work with the other community to make them feel. wanted to make their lives better there are older people they must be 75 years or old or well like the terminal kill situation patients do not want to live. in that situation and they want to have to right to say i want brother to be there to tell people in this way and i want to die dignified this and that has nothing to

do with spending in more me trying to make your life better it is what every doctor every person every supervisor will fight for family will fight for it but if in the eyes of the person who wants to die there is no possibility or no real possibility then they should have the right to die in a dignified way instead of suicide to the european court of human rights has been clear that this is not a human right 15 or 21 day b.s. or euthanized in the netherlands or you're a one person religion is buying it was just a suicide with the us supported by. the 1st of all babies are not euthanized because they have a separate regime it is not you not amazing are because they cannot also principle it is not euthanasia and the person that's very definitely. without doctor's orders i don't know at this the do you detail that we do not consider them

to have euthanasia they will have help in shortening their life. at it looks like euthanasia but it is not euthanasia at this very pertinent to make the difference friends with the adult euthanasia in the netherlands and the babies who are seriously ill. are helped to terminate her life's. now a couple who shot to notoriety as the bonnie and clyde of st louis after they confronted black lives matter protesters with firearms been charged with young nor for use of a weapon supporters of the pair including the governor of missouri and the attorney general of st louis did argue that they had acted within their rights to defend their home in explains why this story does highlight deep divisions in american society. political polarization in the united states is becoming more intense basically you've got to there it's on the one hand you can support defunding the

police and taking down confederate statues or on the other hand you can support federal officers on the streets of portland abducting activists and engaging in acts of repression there doesn't seem to be much middle ground these days. and. now this white couple who stood in front of their mansion and pointed guns at protesters has become a social media sensation and they're now facing felony charges my office file charges against mark and patricia mccluskey following an incident involving peaceful protests on june 28th it is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner at those dissipating you know but in protest now this couple has become symbolic of the ideological crack right down the middle of the united states your attitude toward the couple depends on whether you live in the old america or in the new one. now this couple who threaten the crowd of protesters are

pretty widely hated and they've got quite a reputation in the local neighborhood filing lawsuits and smashing beehives how do you feel about becoming the face of political resistance to the black lives matter movement that's a completely ridiculous statement the president reveal his name for a reason he tried retreated that saying he'd go get him bruce rather than the trigger for your turn at this point they're probably the most hated couple in america they've been dubbed can and karen the new dynamic duo of racism this mr and mrs smith sequel looks terrible ken and karen have had enough fox news has done to our parents what they thought gangsta rev would do to us. now the attorney representing the couple says that the crowd of protesters damaged the iron gates of their mansion and threatened the couple before they drew their

weapons and at this point we've got donald trump speaking up in their defense apparently people are allowed to just burn down other people's homes or shoot people or kill people it's out of control are able to be courageous to protect yourselves and defend your life so god bless you both and the attorney general of the state of missouri says he wants the charges dropped as they are politically motivated this includes the newsroom. which provides robberies the misery and the food your personal see your property against those who wish to do harm while the governor of missouri has already promised a full pardon that couple had every right to protect their property what they should not go through as a prosecutor attempting to take their constitutional rights away or you pradhan that. with or without a doubt shot on i'll do everything with the most constitution of the state of missouri to protect law abiding citizens there are 2 realities to some this couple

are racists why did guns in the face of peaceful protesters but to others they were good american couple protecting their home from a mob of criminals and practicing their 2nd amendment constitutional right to bear arms there is no middle ground anymore the whole country is reduced to picking sides up and artsy new york. now and the presence of armed federal forces in the us city of portland shows no sign of dying down the troops there have been seen baiting unarmed protesters and also using tear gas demonstrators have been starting fires near the federal courthouse. i. thank.

the federal forces were sent to portland by order of donald trump to quell angry and racism protests have been going on for nearly 2 months but now the rallies have changed focus with people chanting feds go home with the white house now saying the city's mayor has lost control or lost control over the city. watching r.t. still to come from this hour the race to be the 1st to develop a coronavirus vaccine is on with america now accusing yet another country of staging its research we'll have the details just after the break.

according to even fox news trying is like going to the polls this is because joe biden is such a brilliant vanity or because the barbican senses the brain damage is too bad we handled by the president still another troll ran as

a populist into drugs to succeed as the government is you. know again their animal rights activists are worried at the moment that a type of crab will soon become extinct its blood is used to test the safety of vaccines and with the global hunt for cope with 19 job in full swing demand is higher than ever julia baines from animal rights group purser explains why the horseshoe crab will die out if nothing changes. crops are fascinating animal once they originated around 400000000 years ago they regard it as a living and they are now threats of extinction they are listed as a species now so much needs to be done to prevent them from being used in

a bar treats the important part to consider is actually a good course you crabs do not need to be used in a bar cheese because there are synthetic alternative methods that can be used instead of using the blood from horseshoe crabs or horseshoe crabs are often referred to as living fossils to to their ancient linage every year pharmaceutical companies to collect half a 1000000 of them to extract about a 3rd of their blood the crabs are then released back into the ocean where about 15 percent of them die unable to survive on the reduced level of blood now on top of that crabs are also used as fish bait and the combined pressure on the population causing a sharp decline in the. species in the past few decades scientists might be reluctant to stop relying on crab blood though is that it is extremely effective at demonstrating the safety of vaccines and also the medicines its use is approved in the u.s. where testing on humans is not allowed we talked with the c.e.o.

of the washington pain center john dombrowski he reiterated the urgency of finding a coronavirus vaccine. of course you crab is somewhat so what you are is and they they being the laboratory the pharmaceutical company would inject the vaccine into the crab and see what happens to the blood in terms of a reaction if there's a reaction we know it's unsafe to use that the human being if it is safe well perhaps then we go to the next level in terms of safety and efficacy in terms of a fighting such a serious virus such a scope in $1000.00 and the other thing that you're looking at is a cost factor i don't know how much of the horseshoe crab cost but then obviously you have something synthetic that is laboratory made that the cost might go up we look at vaccines we want to make sure their basic safety we've been using apparently for years the blood of the horseshoe crab and i guess our animal rights activists were somewhat upset about this from

a physician standpoint certainly we look at testing on other human beings which would certainly be unethical also way that we look at other species that are close to us like mammals rabbits monkeys and things like that but now we're looking even below that such as cross stations like a crab to get that same level of evidence i think we're doing a quite humanely right now we need to focus on human beings in terms of getting a vaccine the best we can but ah but certainly if we can come up with something equally as cheap and effective and why not use it but i don't think we're there just yet and we certainly do not want to injure human beings based on the theoretical value of a horseshoe crab when the one for the vaccine is not just negatively impacting on crab populations since 07 packed in international relations thing justice department has accused china and i was using hackers to spy on american companies developing such a vaccine and it does come a week off to canada and the u.s.

might similar kinds about russia. china has now taken its place alongside russia iran and north korea in that shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for cyber criminals in exchange for those criminals being on call to feed the chinese communist party's insatiable hunger for american and other non chinese companies hard earned intellectual property including covert 19 research marj china is working on its own vaccine a 2nd phase of testing has started moving hand and over 500 animals that did take part in the new job was deemed to be safe to it reportedly in houston is an immune response now on tuesday the u.s. secretary of state might came to the u.k. to discuss joint actions to counter the chinese threat he praised london for its tough stance on beijing on pay accuse the chinese communist party of exploiting the pandemic for its own interests and stating u.s. intellectual property. we just we would no longer want them to steal intellectual

property denying citizens of the united states who worked hard to create something to invent something to get past their trademark in the chinese communist party directed at state owned enterprises to seal their property from americans we hope we can build out a coalition that understands this threat will work collectively to can look to the chinese communist party is that in their best interest to get in this kind of behavior. it together with chinese international relations expert did say that washington would be better off cooperating with other countries when it comes to developing a vaccine rather than banding about accusations of theft. we should actually participate in the global initiative launched by the w.h.o. rather then backing out of the w.h.o. of this particular moment they should cooperate closely with other countries including lindsay china and russia many european countries and japan for example in jointly developing the vaccine they're not doing it with the w.h.o.

the are accusing others of stealing such allegations are crowned loose and pure fabrication the data states government actually should do a better job in containing the spread of corona virus preventing more and more american people from dying and from getting contaminated it china is ahead of the united states and most likely many other countries in terms of developing the vaccine which is very very important and the chinese president xi jinping already declared how was the vaccine produced by china is fully complete its china will declare that as an international public good so that people in all countries can have the benefits of the vaccine. u.s. house of representatives has passed an amendment to the national defense authorization act which imposes further sanctions against companies involved in the construction of the north string to pipeline that project is a nd it pumping natural gas from russia to germany via the baltic sea bypassing

traditional transit countries like ukraine washington though sees it as a threat to european security and as already imposed sanctions in the past prevent its completion of this has angered some european states among them germany speaking ahead of the announcement the foreign minister joseph barrell made it clear that the bloc would consider any u.s. sanctions as illegitimate stress to the european policy should be determined in europe not by 3rd countries some in germany though have resorted to less diplomatic language to describe the american pressure. we expect the european commission to government in european companies from this interference we fundamentally oppose extraterritorial sanctions and see them as unlawful. the aim of these actions by the united states is not from our perspective to reduce the dependence on russia but rather the goal is to be able to sell their own gas to europe and that is

easier to do when less gas is delivered from russia is that there's a construction of altering to began in may of 2018 her earlier u.s. sanctions slapped on vessels and companies involved in the project had temporarily halted work on it but moscow does say that in the worst case scenario it is ready itself to complete the pipeline on its own german economist and publisher dr i can hey matt told us that the americans probably don't expect any pushback from the europeans but they may be in for a rude awakening. and this is all this is really not true at all that they are harm that they're taking their own european or german interest no they're all really only and only they're all into. their own interests are if they could prohibit infrastructure that gets gas to germany then they don't have to compete to limit the infrastructure of giving gas and oriel to europe and

germany means that they can limit the. the competition and that's what they what i think they they went forward as usual europeans always fell on the news because many people in europe are working for them for ages so they just thought they can they can bully them around our europeans as usual fall on the knees and do whatever they want but i don't think they have calculated the conversations into into that that he was not international thanks to accompany the south then we'll be back with more nice view at the top of the. one else seems wrong. roles just don't call. me the old yet to see power these days comes to educate and in general it equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we go to work some straight home. greetings and sal you tell us you know it seems that everyone these days rather

than.
