1:05 pm
russian president things are starting to calm down they're becoming less rocky finally say so because at least there's no violence in the streets the protests are peaceful and it seems both russia and belarus would like to keep things this way. the russian prosecutor general's office has asked the german authorities to share their findings over the reported poisoning of alexina valmy and also said that so far it found no evidence of any criminal act against the russian opposition figure . has more on today's development. russia's prosecutor general's office have issued a statement saying that so far they have not found any criminal wrongdoing in the case alec say let's have a listen to the details of that statement despite a preliminary investigation that was initiated years august the 20th no evidence of an intentional criminal act against nouvelle knee has been established and new evidence that would allow us to classify this incident under criminal law has been

1:08 pm
broadcaster neil clark and also author of russia analyst martin mccauley both feel there's too much jumping to conclusions right now we have to wait. we really think it will take longer for the germans to come up with some explanation and we're still in the in-between stage where the prosecutor general most who say we haven't really been supplying. the germans are saying we think it's cool but at present we're not able to identify new agents and therefore the kondraty so it was. let's let's be honest given the geopolitical context of this then whatever the russians come out with is going to be criticize an attack because if there was a full russian investigation it came out and said it wasn't poison of course a lot of people who got an axe to grind we russia wouldn't wouldn't accept that whatever happens many people have already jumped forgotten stage 8 even be on stage be it so well of course it was the kremlin it will not necessarily there were a number of a number of people who have

1:23 pm
anti terror expert and legal analyst jennifer to master questions the timing of the teacher's complaint. since march april may of this year we're looking at a concerted effort by nenni people throughout the united states to demonize our local law enforcement to demonize police officers that's not to say that all police officers individually are perfect by any means and nobody in any profession is perfect but our local law enforcement definitely helps force the rule of law and helps a protect and serve our societies and communities so with this demonization concerted
1:24 pm
demonization defunding of police departments that's why this particular timing of this lawsuit seems a little bit questionable given that for the past year many local law enforcement and police departments have been engaging in these kinds of drills. up ministration is breaking up its achievements to whatever votes this is the best of the 4 presidential election looms large and the recent peace deal between the united arab emirates and israel is being singled out in particular the price and now secretary of state my pompei it was touring the arab world trying to repeat that success elsewhere but as don coulter now explains that involves trying to get money out of one of the most deprived nations on earth. a stork deal was struck earlier this month between the united arab emirates and israel it was brokered by washington and quickly became a media sensation that news of a historic middle east peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates for donald trump it's a big foreign policy achievement this is
1:25 pm
a big big day for the middle east israel and united arab emirates have agreed to a historic deal to normalize diplomatic relations with confidence in astride secretary of state mike pompei it was set off on a p.r. tour around the arab world one of his 1st stops was sudan though and its leaders seemed not very willing to normalize relations with israel the interim government has no mandate to normalize relations with israel to make matters more difficult for pompei o sudan's foreign ministry spokesperson was just fired last week for suggesting the country was getting ready to sign an agreement with israel so pump a 0 came up with a foolproof plan to win sudan over also dan's government needs to do is make a very small donation of $330000000.00 to the victims of al qaeda and washington will wipe it from the state sponsors of terror list you could probably imagine that idea didn't go down very well with the country's impoverished citizens. of bordering is
1:26 pm
a cowardly that we pray you find in return for the removal of saddam from american terrorism list. to be honest we the sudanese people are the party most affected by the decisions and acts of the previous regime paying the compensation could bring us many economic benefits and remove sudan from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. frankly speaking this american proposal is a kind of blackmail and it is a pity in order to reach a safety will have to pay the price for the actions of the previous regime as is often the case there was something more behind the deal that just goodwill highly sought after american after 35 fighter jets the u.a.e. has been trying to. their hands on them for years and apparently now they can't though they have the money and they you thought they would like to order quite a few left $30.00 five's it's the greatest fighter jet in the world as you know by former stealth but it seems washington got a bit carried away trying to seal the deal with dobby so much so it neglected the
1:27 pm
interests of its best friend in the region we oppose the sale of even one screw one plane of distilled fighters to any country in the middle east if we have peace with them or not and so this supposedly historic deal could be on its way to the dustbin the f. 35 dramas reportedly led the u.a.e. to cancel its upcoming meeting with israel saudi arabia has publicly rejected any normalization of relations with tel of eve and of course palestine decried what it considered to be a betrayal by the u.a.e. . posed nude the ship rejects would be you know it's our emirates is done and considers to be true of jerusalem. in the post codes and the clear recognition of druce who is the camp 2 of his rule pump alles got one last chance to make his p.r. campaign worthwhile bahrain who knows how that'll play out but if it's anything like his past attempts it might not go so well they had a tour of the palestinian chronicle believes the trump of ministration is trying to twist sudan's with itself. the u.s.
1:28 pm
is being quite aggressive in pushing for more money as asian between the arabs sudan bihari and oman the saudis immoralities moroka more time here and others at this particular period because president trump is desperate for any kind of leverage that he can use during the election season especially that numbers are trading behind biden in the polls and so forth so he wants to go and say listen i have and she the greatest breakthrough in one of the world's most complicated and convoluted struggles and that is the middle east this is the great this brick through since can david in 1999 and i have done it so the offer to remove sudan exchange for a massive amount of money i think was made to send 2 messages number one we are willing to make
1:29 pm
a deal you know in exchange for normalization we will remove you from that list the 2nd message i think compel you was trying to send is that we want all the keys and that if you do not play ball basically this is what you have to do you have we will ask you that will make these impossible demands from your and you really your trust you have no other option but to for the needs of the united arab emirates that normalize with this where we simply it will not be so simple so that the society will not accept the normalization with israel living down day specially done they historically they've had very strong ties with the palestinian struggle and they are in many ways that one of the clues this arab can surely top palestinian aspirations and in fact the prime minister of the country said a few days ago he said can you please d. link both issues do not meet it the only option for sudan is either we remain on
1:30 pm
the. this or we normalize with this will because it's not within the right as a transitional government to do so we have to wait until the elections in 2022 and then the people themselves can and that's a government that will make that decision for them ok we're watching the whole next on the international with to run the team in washington all the way back here with a mosque a new center and your next update in just under half an hour to see you. know a look at the solutions we look take a deep dive into the issues they've been chatting about all year now today we're going to be talking with the failed widow more also known as an l w of the breakdown hot cast friends.
