i don't see. very. the kremlin expresses concern about an investigation into the poisoning of opposition activists alexina the president spokes person claims there are no grounds yet for any criminal probe as a range of different medical theories. meanwhile one of the doctors who treated russia says threats have been made against him and his family. i personally my family my children have received dozens of physical threats judge those people treated. those threats. also the pro and anti-government rallies are held in the capital with no sign of tension and calming the country's opposition leader who fled to address the european parliament once again claiming the presidential
3:01 pm
election was rigged. and in the u.s. rioters in wisconsin. a black man in the back. here in moscow welcome to world news from r.t. international 1st then the kremlin has dismissed as info noise claims that opposition activists alexina valmy had been poisoned the presidential spokesperson dmitri peskov said no substance has been identified and a number of different medical theories haven't been ruled out it comes after the german clinic now treating the russian activist said it had found a toxin in his system. we cannot take seriously the accusations that russian authorities ordered in the van need to be poisoned these are accusations which combine no means be true and are likely what i would describe as info noise my
3:02 pm
german colleague was quick to point to poisoning but he should have mentioned the possibility of a 2nd 3rd 4th version to all those possibilities which our doctors were looking at you can't single out one version at this point and he was airlifted to berlin on saturday he's still in a coma but his condition is stable peter all about has more details from outside the medical facility. dimitri pearce golf went on to say that the findings of the clinic. weren't grounds on their own to start a criminal investigation that's very much a difference of opinion and we've heard from the high representative for foreign affairs. who's called on moscow to try and get to the bottom with a clear and full investigation of what happened to alexei navalny. it is imperative that russian authorities initiate an independent and transparent investigation on the poisoning of nivelle neat russian people as well as the
3:03 pm
international community demanding the facts those responsible must be held to account. if the division's is identified it was determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course that would give grounds for an investigation no doubt so for there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused have on these condition. calls for an investigation of also being coming from german chancellor angela merkel and german foreign minister. and what we understand coming through on tuesday is that the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is preparing a briefing for president trump on the situation regarding alexei navalny all of this coming after the clinic here in berlin released a statement on monday saying they found a toxic substance during tests on alexina valmy the clinical findings indicate intoxication by substance from the group of active substances called clooney needs to raise inhibitors the outcome of the disease remains uncertain and long term
3:04 pm
effects especially in the area of the nervous system cannot be ruled out at this point in time all of that seemed direct contradiction to what we heard coming out of the hospital in russia in the city where he was 1st treated they said they found no traces of any synthetic talks in in his system and that they are willing to share all of that information with the hospital here in berlin as we're trying get to the bottom of what happened to alexei novelli who remains in a serious but stable condition here in berlin in an induced coma unfolds from senior research fellow george samueli from the international affairs think tank the global policy institute he believes that we may not see many solid facts presented in the case. of question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of their little laboratory try and names their will all the medical tests that they undertook on the ground are they prepared to share them with the russian
3:05 pm
doctors if they're now if they try to do what to reason may did. with discreet powers and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian authorities so the russians could make an independent assessment as what the german scientists have found then it's hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct a full investigation is a lot we don't know that he was poisoned our doctors say that he wasn't so why should we just accept what the germans say when the germans refuse to provide us with any scientific basis to assess their find it is a russian doctor who initially treated novelli when he 1st fell ill says he's received online threat it comes after russian medics claim that they can find no trace of any toxins in his body. says i personally my family my children have received dozens of physical threats you know i'm not hiding my personal life and of course it didn't affect anything god will judge those people who treated an
3:06 pm
obviously those threats were not his fault so as we heard the substance the german clinic says it's found in the valley system belongs to the family of colon estrades inhibitors there are a group of chemicals that affect the nervous system and they argued in drugs for treating illnesses such as alzheimer's and also other forms of dementia. these agents are used all the time in an operating room you know for a 1st normal patient care what happens with some patients is what it does this create this large amount of pseudo coley this you know colon is a normal acting medication that we haven't neurotransmitter however bits to hide everything in balance in life it can cause death to patients and obviously if this is a cloistering you know it's very specific that's why the russian government may not be looking for it's maybe the germans were looking for this that's why they found the. was exceptionally high in the speech obviously the war time that passes for when the intervention happened at this point the heart of spirit respect or what substances were used clearly they have identified it now that they've identified it
3:07 pm
it can give support of care for this patient agreeable long and then after that it becomes more a forensic you know purpose. to the russian capital and once again throwing to the sound of demonstrations comes to moment to weeks after president bush and complain that he'd want to yet another term in office the opposition says he stole it both pro and anti-government rallies are taking place right now protestors against the president clapping their hands and chanting slogans calling for him to quit although the situation doesn't remain peaceful at the same time a prolific shanker rally is taking place in a different location by demonstrators awaiting the national flag and that weather has been put off supporters from both sides making their voices heard. probably around 200 teachers their supporters along with journalists and bloggers gathered outside the education ministry demanding the minister came outside meanwhile the country's opposition leader has been speaking to the european parliament repeating claims that the election was rigged. the current crisis since you looked in the
3:08 pm
week with the end action of all this 9. by the piña of the major a to observe arrest the electoral process was deeply flawed the election itself was marked with thousands of violations where the most respected observers of the electoral process that again ization for security and cooperation in europe when not invited to observe the election there fishel results of the election there falsified and rejected by the bill or worse and people and the majority of the international community spent a lot of taken off sky fled to neighboring lithuania shortly after the vote she claims her life was in danger and her speech also slammed the police brutality scene during the massive demonstrations and incest of the protests have been peaceful but security forces claimed that's not the full picture and that there are 2 sides to the story more on that next from
3:09 pm
a course down of. when it comes to protests in belarus you must have seen footage like this all like this all like this that was an infamous day as news junkies around the world stooge shocked by the brutality of bellerose police. this picture went viral and 1st many assumed wrongly the man on the ground was dead so what happened that day but well we found the officer who is in this picture and he told us his version of events. along. it turned out later he had a severe alcohol and drug overdose we had the guy when he felt really bad but no
3:10 pm
matter how badly he behaved that evening we tried to get him to the ambulance which was 100 meters from us he was unconscious he just lay down i tried to wake him up and once people standing not far from me started screaming let him go let him go i told them that i was trying to provide medical assistance but they didn't hear me and screamed let him go i stood up showed my hand saying i let him go so what and he's still on the ground and they don't know what to say my colleague brought medics they helped him right there and took him to the hospital. the man turned out to be ok and went on to become a media favorite dishing out into views. i don't know probably 3 maybe 4 people surrounded me my brother was there with me too it all happened so fast they just drag me into the party wagon one photograph 2 very different accounts at 1st glance it may look like a meme something being made light of on line but in reality it's
3:11 pm
a metaphor for how polarized the media war over the protests in burma was has become anti government demonstrators enjoy the sport most of our lives from every continent in many languages offices from the security forces are telling me they feel that the world is deaf to their words like when their families and children are getting death threats. we were facing how parents in kindergarten taught their children such phrases your father is a murderer your father beach people and the children come home and ask their mother a question is it true that our father is a murderer how can you say this about a man who protects his people constitutional order and territorial integrity. i ask them about all the videos showing the men in full riot gear severely beating peaceful protests. as they say they aren't proud but insist that good big picture
3:12 pm
matter is. that. the use of force doesn't make us look good especially if we use forced you to emotions we shouldn't do it but it was that time when people came at us with sticks and rocks and we had to end that mess at the. request that people did not come to peaceful rallies with molotov cocktails with sticks and stones and they don't try to run over military and internal affairs officers with their cars last sunday suit tens of thousands of anti-government protesters making their voices heard peacefully from this legion no one was arrested or detained it seems there's finally a truce between loon fools and protesters but a fragile one i'm being told it seems both sides will need to keep their emotions in check and we've done of reporting from minsk in belarus. from spain formally nominated to run for
3:13 pm
a 2nd term as president of the republican national convention a man who puts america 1st and will keep america great president donald john truck i come from the great state of montana we are factually calling it strong. we believe in trama says media and promise is louisiana proudly casts its $46.00 votes for president double j. trucks and we know that the best is yet to come and the opening night of the convention drew plenty of parallels to trump's time on reality t.v. is kind of open explains. because the man who fired people on reality t.v. and now and donald trump is setting up a reality t.v. show to make sure that he won't be fired from the white house by the american people this november each episode during the republican national convention features donald trump and members of his family it's all called honoring the great
3:14 pm
american story. land of heroes. great. to see over the next 4 nights as new light the next chapter. share our vision is the greatest country with the greatest citizens paying the greatest change. so with each day having a theme and nightly surprises the donald is looking to trump joe biden's performance with the democrats' convention but over the last week the democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in american history it will be the most boring repetitive dull mean spirited convention in history and of course we all get a heavy dose of hatred and rage and cult like madness psychosis has stereo against all things donald trump this year's convention of the republican party has been dubbed the people's convention and the people have chosen for speakers at their
3:15 pm
convention on the opening night the couple who pointed their guns at black lives matter protesters as they walked outside their mansion now that 1st taste of media spotlight has gotten this couple felony charges donald trump calls it a disgrace and the couple says they're thirsty for more at this moment in history if you stand up for yourself and for the values our country was founded on the mob spurred on by their allies and the media will try to destroy you president trump will defend their god given right of every american to protect their home. and there for more years the themes are coming thick and fast tuesday is the land of opportunity wednesday is the land of heroes and thursday it is the land of greatness yes you heard that right that's the night when donald trump will be accepting the nomination of the republican party at the white house surrounded by
3:16 pm
supporters now many people are lapping it up but not all of them for the same details for example c.n.n. says that it's more an over the details and that will cut away from the reality t.v. show if it strays too far from reality and the television networks going up interesting choices to make interesting decisions to make about whether to cut away if there's this stream of december mation happening live seeing as they did not do this at the democratic national convention outrage about cnn's announcement is certainly not hard to find on the internet. 3 episodes of this reality t.v. show convention are left no doubt they'll be moments of pure cringe drama and high
3:17 pm
comedy but republicans are really hoping that this is a reality t.v. show that won't prove to be a turnoff it will mop and artsy new york and i think some of those tweets earlier the u.s. green parties michael o'neill believes the most media coverage of the big conventions is biased. i think that each. corporate cable news network has their own constituency and their own marketing demographic that they are catering to and so you will have fox news which will be very aggressive about reporting on allegedly wrongdoings on the part of the democratic party and then you'll have m s n b c or c.n.n. which will be very aggressive about providing documentation on the wrong doings of donald trump and the republicans meanwhile c.n.n. and the sunday see will ignore the rank injustices and undemocratic practices of the democratic party so they're not really engaging in news they just
3:18 pm
have a market that they've identified that they are catering to and the idea of a complete objectivity i don't think is useful but also the idea of just tailoring your news coverage specifically to make your particular slice of the american people feel good is also a negative trend. this is a way the families of british health workers who lost their lives on the front lines of the battle against covert 19 may lose that welfare benefit to the government compensation trap and we'll explain all among all stories after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
3:19 pm
is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness.
3:20 pm
hello again riots in the u.s. have set stores on fire and throwing bottles and security forces in a 2nd night of violence and osha in wisconsin a massive cleanup is now underway in the city which has been left in shock. the test is called for just a softer a black man was shot multiple times in the back by police on sunday incident was caught on camera and say went viral demonstrators also told to come and settle fireworks the police responded with tear gas is what political commentators in the u.s. have been telling us. the media would just have you believe that he was just going to check on his children that he was a hero and he broke up a fight with 2 women unfortunately c.n.n. although they didn't broadcast this part and i haven't heard it anywhere else they did write
3:21 pm
a story online where they spoke to the guy who shot this video that we've all seen the gentleman said i came in with a video camera in the middle he said when i got there when it what i 1st saw before the camera roll was this suspect rolling around wrestling cops on the ground also police dispatch said that the suspect jacob black lake did not belong there and police dispatch said that he took the for the complaints keys away this is all in the c.n.n. report so these are things that are not being reported when a cop tells you to do something you do it but we've had the issues of institutional racism in this country i mean i remember back originally when black wives matter 1st started were trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown or gardner and you had case after case of these shootings of young men and women across the country were officers were never really held accountable for that. and you have protested radley's kind of false you know. dog and pony show
3:22 pm
styled fixes of the institutional racism without really addressing it without really. you know taking it to task of really changing the culture in that major in this country that that allows these things to happen so no it doesn't surprise me that we're seeing once again george floyd now this man in wisconsin it's a pattern that's not going to change until there is real actual honest change in this country and that doesn't come from just politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms that never happen. migrant center in northeastern cities being blamed for a local spike in covert infections more than 200 people have called coronavirus in the form of military barracks intervene in the last 2 weeks that have been considered a free city the mess says the situation is a health. you know going to be what happened inside the serene ex-military barracks a structure directly managed by the ministry of interior is
3:23 pm
a paradox destruction didn't work fine in normal conditions and it showed all these gaps during this health emergency we call it health because there were 256 people confined into the same structure and they don't want to separate between 1000 positive cases and negative one prosecutors this month the pro bowl for the 1st positive cases were discovered in the migrant center public anger is growing fast. i know. too many migrants together it was inevitable now the danger is young people who do not distance themselves but why are all just say that the virus has weakened . the problem is not just inside the barracks it seems to me that the situation is out of control more serious and correct measures are needed but right now they don't know how to deal with it. and there is some concern it's a shame that our politicians have left is in disarray without solution i thought i would go back but younger people in migrants aren't taking it seriously we all need to be conscientious and be more careful and if you're going on. it's better not to
3:24 pm
talk about the serrano you sure it was bad management it continues to be bad the root of the problem must be solved move the migrants and give them a chance to live a decent life. i'm very worried we're free from corbett and now there are all this new cases the fault lies with those let in the migrants in they should be sent back home it comes as for migrants were arrested this month for allegedly starting a revolt of the facility also claim the some refugees escaped quarantine which may have contributed to the new covert crisis immigrants have also been accused of attacking health workers which is triggered an angry response from politicians. the virus must not leave the barracks for me the barracks remain a red zone from a health point of view and guests must comply with rules established by law if someone who test positive leaves quarantine they must be fined and criminally charged the guests are rioting they're refusing to stay in quarantine and
3:25 pm
destroying the infirmary it is corsten calculable damage to the image of the trivia area to tourism to businesses those who commit acts of violence must not go unpunished i support the decision to jail for guests of the former serena barracks who attacked health workers and burned lies the rooms. relatives of u.k. health workers who lost their lives to covert it could see their welfare benefits cuts if they accept compensation from the government if the families do take the 60000 pound lump sum it will be treated as capital in means tested benefits and that could leave them ineligible for payments such as the low income top up known as universal credit and housing or pension benefit opposition m.p.'s say that some fair to grief stricken relatives pointed out that other schemes haven't had such restrictions in the past. the government was right to say we must honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so it's shocking that families are being forced to choose between accessing social security they're entitled to or the compensation
3:26 pm
they need the government insists the benefits of always being calculated the same way the principle is that only those who cannot meet basic needs get payment but a senior health consultant we to bow to says such an approach doesn't exactly encourage medical workers to put their lives on the line. that is very unfortunate it took a long time for would be presented to the bodies of all the health care workers who negotiated this with the government and then to subsequently find that it is going to be treated as capital is a step backwards it should just be a payment and we must remember people die as a result of being in the front line saving lives and often in circumstances where they are working with inadequate p.p. so they are really truly honestly putting and very much in the front line in danger and the a lot of ones should not be also being that ised just because they received 860000
3:27 pm
barrels payment 60000 pounds does not go very far in our current law and therefore it just is a payment for somebody who has put their lives in the front line it should not their fault be for that penalize quit you've got a capital we're not going to look to you if this comes to be what will happen is then health care workers may make a choice to say you know what i've come to think about it i don't want to put myself in the front line that would be also a negative backward step. raging wildfires in california are now known to have killed 7 and 4th around 60000 others to flee the area of the 14000 firefighters from various us state of battling the blazes across a 1000000 acres for the past week. this is one of the worst outbreaks in recorded history with 7000 fires already this year they were sparked by something called
3:28 pm
a lightning seed when thousands of lightning strikes hit the region california firefighter gage and sea chief has tweeted the worst is not yet behind us. the construction of an ocean front property in hawaii for barack obama has angered locals after it turned out it was on a traditional burial ground the former u.s. president was reportedly in line to get one of the developments by the chair of his foundation who began building a swimming pool and septic tank over sacred berms. thank you. there are quite some concerns that our community members are having now that
3:29 pm
we have such a high profile individual moving into our community there are some fear thank you know for my involvement in it i just really wanted to make sure that our not going to evie were put back to rest in the i know in which it came from we really see the importance of how we treat our land and our natural resources and expression the the remains of our ancestors and so here in white manalo there has been a real huge dry community effort to be able to take care or my law among these special places and these special deals. thank you. for those who came before us. probably just for ourselves. because of the. cultural and spiritual realization
3:30 pm
that the bones are where they're supposed to be. in the ground. and for why it's not preservation that should not try to preserve the bones. are actually trying to protect their process of decomposition. over generations. the goal is to become elemental again for the remains to be senator. from us for now plenty more video news and stories in programs for what i call more check out or you tube channel of course i'll be back here in just under half an hour with the next world news updates either. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let.
