european parliament once again claiming that the presidential election was rigged. and in the u.s. rioters in wisconsin said shops and cars on fire and attacked police officers shot a black man in the back. here in the russian capital. center with the stories we're across this hour the kremlin has dismissed as info noise claims that opposition activists alexina valmy had been poisoned the presidential spokesperson dmitri peskov said that no substance of been identified and a number of different medical theories haven't been ruled out he comes after the german clinic that's now treating the russian activist said it had found a toxin in his system. we cannot take seriously the accusations that russian authorities ordered me to be poisoned these are accusations which combine no means
6:02 pm
be true and are likely what i would describe as info noise my 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 are doctors we're looking at you can't single out one version at this point in a valley was airlifted to berlin on saturday he's still in a coma but his condition is stable peter oliver has more details from outside the medical facility. called dimitri pearce golf went on to say that the findings of the clinic. weren't grounds on their own just started a criminal investigation that's very much a difference of opinion then we've heard from the high representative for foreign affairs supernal 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
6:03 pm
international community demanding the facts those responsible must be held to account. if the division 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 the bone 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 novell me all of this coming after the clinic here in berlin released a statement on monday saying that they found a toxic substance during tests on alexina valmy the clinical findings indicate intoxication by substance from the group of active substances called to raise
6:04 pm
inhibitors the outcome of the disease remains uncertain and long term 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. thoughts on this next then from senior research fellow george samueli who's from the international affairs think tank the global policy institute he believes we may not see many solid facts presented in the case. the question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of the. findings they pull all the medical tests
6:05 pm
that they undertook on the volunteer are they prepared to share them with the russian doctors if they're not if they try to do what a reason may did with discrete powells and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian with or it is that 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 the full investigation as they look 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 findings and separately a russian doctor who initially treated novelle me when he 1st fell ill says he's received online threats it comes after russian medics claim that they couldn't find any trace of toxins in his body. i personally my family my children have received dozens of physical threats you know i'm not hiding my personal life and of course
6:06 pm
it didn't affect anything god will judge those people who treated me about only not the only those threats were not his fault. as we heard the substance the german clinic says it's found in the found the system belongs to the family of the colon ashtrays inhibitors that a group of chemicals that affect the nervous system they are used in drugs for treating illnesses such as sinus and 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 is create a large amount of pseudo coley as 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 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 amount of was exceptionally high in the speech obviously in the war time that passes for when the intervention happened to this point the heart is going to treat
6:07 pm
specter what substances were used clearly they have identified it now that they've identified it they can give supportive care for this patient to bring him along and then after that it becomes more of a forensic you know purpose. straight to the bell a russian capital of once again been thrown into the sound of demonstrations more than 2 weeks after president lukashenko claim that he won yet another term in office which the opposition says he stole while both pro and anti-government rallies been held to end men squarely on tuesday protesters against the president clapped and chanted slogans calling for him to quit at the same time the protocol shanker rally took place in a different location where demonstrators waved to the national flag that weather didn't deter supporters from both sides making their voices heard. earlier around $200.00 teaches their supporters some of the journalists and bloggers protest today against the government outside the education ministry meanwhile the country's opposition leader spoke to the european parliament repeating claims the election
6:08 pm
was rigged. that current crisis since you looked in the week with the end action on all this 9. by the opinion of the majority of those arrests the electoral process was deeply flawed the election itself was marked with thousands of violations while the most respected observers of the electoral process that again ization for security and cooperation in europe when not invited to observe the election their visual results of the election were falsified and rejected by the bill and were sent people and the majority of the international community but lama taken off sky fled to neighboring lithuania shortly after the vote she claims that her life was in danger it has speech also slammed the police brutality seen during the massive demonstrations and insists that the protests have been peaceful but
6:09 pm
security forces claim but that is not the full picture there are 2 sides to this story more max for me goshdarn of. when it comes to protests in belarus you must have seen footage like this all like this or like this that was an infamous day as news junkies around the world stooge shocked by the brutality of belarus police up the. path with the. the at the. this picture went viral at 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. it turned out
6:10 pm
later he had a severe alcohol and drug overdose we had the guy when he felt really bad but no 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 him 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 interviews but i don't know probably 3 maybe 4 people surrounded me my brother was there with me too it all happened so fast 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
6:11 pm
a metaphor for how polarized the media war all the. protests in belarus has become anti government demonstrators enjoy the sport most of our lads 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 protesters they say they aren't proud of but insists that the big picture
6:12 pm
matters but. 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. 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 the sleeve no one was arrested or detained it seems there's finally a truce between loon fools mint 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 r.t. . trump has been formally nominated to run for
6:13 pm
a 2nd term as president at the republican national convention. the man who puts america 1st and will keep america great president donald john troy i come from the great state of montana we are affectionately calling it trump tanna we believe in promises made and promises kept louisiana probably casts its 46 votes for president double trouble 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 home reality t.v. kind of moment explains. hughes 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
6:14 pm
features donald trump and members of his family it's all called honoring the great 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 taint the greatest achievement. 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 raging cold 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
6:15 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 disk rates 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
6:16 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 whoring over the details and it will cut away from the reality t.v. show if it strays too far from reality and the television networks going to be 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
6:17 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 welcoming some of the u.s. green parties my close male believes the most media coverage of the big conventions is biased. i think that each. corporate cable news network has their own constituency 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 wrongdoings of donald trump and the republicans meanwhile c.n.n. and that sunday see will ignore the rank injustices and undemocratic
6:18 pm
practices of the democratic party so they're not really engaging in news they just 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. you know without see plenty ahead of the families of british health workers who lost their lives on the front lines of the battle against covert 19 may lose welfare benefits and the government compensation trap that explain all and all stories ahead. others financial survival guide i don't buy any i've caught up with teachers. but
6:19 pm
that's not how most of friday that's the last time i buy it from the future trucker kaiser. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very creative time to sit down and talk. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up any musician is his tuning his or her instrument so you hear this. sounds or noise put it but it's a constant it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get music so what the brain does and what the maker tubules do is organize all
6:20 pm
orchestrate these one collapses. right in the us have set stalls on fire and thrown bottles and security forces in the 2nd night of violence and wisconsin a massive cleanup is now underway in the city which has been left in show. the test is called for just a shell for a black man was shot multiple times in the back by police on sunday to paralyzed according to the family attorney the incident was caught on camera went viral demonstrations also tossed cars and settle fireworks. 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
6:21 pm
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 a story on line where they spoke to the guy who shot this video that we've all seen the gentleman said i came in with the 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 cops on the ground also police dispatch said that the suspect jacob black plate did not belong there and police dispatch said that he took 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 believe the issues of institutional racism in this country i mean i remember back originally when black lives 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
6:22 pm
and women across the country were officers were never really held accountable for that and you had protests throughout these kind of false you know. dog and pony show styled fixes of the institutional racism without really addressing it without really. you know taking it to task and really changing the culture in a major in this country 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 powder and 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. like when center ne to cities being blamed for a local spike in covert infections more than 200 people have called coronavirus in the form of military barracks in truth he said. in the last 2 weeks it has been considered a covert free city the mayor says the situation is a health bar. what happened inside the serene ex-military barracks
6:23 pm
a structure directly managed by the ministry of interior is a paradox the structure didn't work fine in normal conditions and it showed all its gaps during this health emergency we call it health form because there are 256 people confined into the same structure and they don't want to separate between covert 1000 positive cases and negative ones prosecutors have this month launched a probe after the 1st positive cases were discovered in the migrant center public anger is growing fast. to many migrants together it was inevitable now the danger is young people who do not distance themselves but viral 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 in correct measures in the 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
6:24 pm
would go but younger people are migrants aren't taking it seriously we all need to be conscientious and be more careful and. it's better not to talk about the serrano 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 leave a decent life. and very worried were free from cause of it and now there are all this new cases the fault lies with those let in the migrants in they should be sent back home. and it comes as 4 migrants were arrested this month for allegedly starting a revolt of the facility there's also claim that some refugees escaped quarantine which may have contributed to the new covert crisis immigrants i've also been accused of attacking health workers and that's triggered an angry response from local 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
6:25 pm
someone who tests positive leaves quarantine they must be fined and criminally charged the guests are rioting they're refusing to stay in quarantine and 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 serina barracks who attacked health workers and burned lies the rooms. relatives of u.k. health workers who lost their lives to cove it could see their welfare benefits cut if they accept compensation from the government and families take the 60000 pounds lump sum it'll 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 and 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
6:26 pm
ultimate sacrifice so it's shocking that families are being forced to choose between accessing social security they're entitled to all the compensation they need the government insists that such benefits have always been calculated the same way the principle is that only those who cannot meet basic needs get payment but a senior health consultant says the 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 paula be a representative bodies of all the health care workers to negotiate 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 payment and we must remember people die as a result of being there 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 themselves very much in the front line in
6:27 pm
danger and the alert ones should not be also be it ised just because they received 860000 barrels payment 60000 pounds does not little 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 capital we're not only good luck to you if this comes to be what will happen is then health care workers may make a choice to say you know what come to think about it i don't want to put myself in the front line that would be also a negative but a good step. making wildfires in california are now known to have killed 7 and forced around 60000 others to flee the area more than 14000 firefighters from various u.s. states have been battling the blazes across a 1000000 acres for the past week.
6:28 pm
this is one of the worst outbreaks in recorded history with 7005 already this year they were sparked by something called a lightning see when thousands of lightning strikes hit the region california's firefighting agency chief has tweeted the worst is not yet behind us. ok that's it for me thanks for watching dan hawkins has you covered in the coming hours for the stories we're across here at r.t. international for now that are made in the moscow news to stay safe.
6:30 pm
kaiser this is kaiser report some of her solution that's right we talk about problems all year and then summer time we come up with all solutions that say we're being joined by banker turned bitcoin entrepreneur simon dixon of banks the future long term friend of this show and as wave a bit of an introduction is book banks of the future came out roughly 10 years ago it actually predicted a major crisis in 2020 is almost clairvoyant and how that accurate that prediction was simon is also recently gone on record that he believes a central banks will go directly to people and bypass the banks with their money printing that's now being discussed in the highest circles of banking this is an amazing prediction that was.
