9:10 pm
suggesting local authorities are responsible for the violence how shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would this goes beyond racism tucker carlson is advocating and defending murder how shocked are we that tucker carlson is praising a murderer as some kind of vigilante hero democrats are taking those blame claims and throwing them right back in the face of conservatives saying that they're the ones that ferment it they hate to begin with the question for us this concern is when are we going to make republicans do their jobs when do we continue to sit idly by and watch the sede burn to the ground. our nation is hurting we need leadership that will heal our wounds not continue to pour salt on them peaceful protest against police violence should not be met with more violence and yet that's exactly what the president called for after the death of george floyd and here at home as

9:12 pm
is not the only one the right wing militia groups and black self-defense organizations have sprung up across the country while politicians point the finger at the situation on the streets is only getting worse across the country people are bracing for turbulent times ahead but i think there's a political gain going on on the side and both sides you've got the democratic side trying to to blame the president perjuring racial unrest and i don't know floyd group that and you've got you've got the republican side saying that it's actually been pointed the finger at democratic leaders and democratic city is that the leadership there is not take me appropriate action. no law and order. needs to be a middle some point we do need law and order we need to provide security and. security for. small bedroom i feel bad for small but they were

sold here by the coronavirus and those who are wondering being impacted a lot on this by only in the unfortunate a real situation but both are using it in the political weapon. throughout the week the criminals faced repeated accusations from both western officials and the media of poisoning a prominent opposition activist they say novelli fell seriously ill on a flight in siberia 10 days ago and was later airlifted to berlin for treatment. has been assessing the unfolding but. it's not every day that a patient receiving treatment in a siberian hospital becomes a global personal interests and that's what happened when i was a value fell ill on the flight to moscow forcing ok to make learn to tolerate and 20 hospital numerous toxicology tests were done all the results came back negative . for a wide spectrum of synthetic substances including inhibitors were negative also on
9:14 pm
admission to the hospital there was no clinical picture specific to the. inhibitor group fast forward a few days and valise still in it used coma how do you know lift it to a specialist can make it more tests were run and it can call for the kind that's raising him to group was found the exact substance so remains unknown and almost a week later no updates the russian doctors saved his life in those crucial early hours one to exchange data to better understand the initial findings of their job and colleagues but somehow already decided who it's best to believe so but don't even need to wait for the final. well it's all true but it's all just for help it was not in charge of ali is 2020 said case the pow it was the kremlin but it was to himself the question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of the
9:15 pm
look at all of our trip findings there will all the medical tests that they undertook on the vote on the are they prepared to share them with the russian doctors if they are now if they try to do work to reason may did with the script piles and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian authorities so the russians could make an independent assessment as what the german scientists of found that hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct the investigation i say 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 either way russia has to be punished and not just this sanctions to make previous actions quote pale in comparison but also by striking as an entirely unrelated project but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the nord stream to project russia's president putin is turning increasing into
9:16 pm
a dictator who persecutes opponents including by means of poisoning attempts the poisoning attack on the russian opposition leader must lead to targeted reaction the baltic sea nordstrom to should not go into operation for i'm going to pull those who has been fighting to keep north stream to alive despite the best efforts of science may says this is neither the time nor the place to be talking gas. i think that we should do a couple of these issues and in our opinion north trying to should be completed nobody builds a pipeline just to n.r. somebody a pipeline is built because it is the mom it's the 2nd part of the pipeline. and that was initiated in 2000 try we saw this same argue mance and those years apart 100 fact allen chief from north america was not yet commercial. we see a kind of replay of the arguments of 2005 nevertheless it was built and now
9:17 pm
there's a new trial and train situation i would say is that a bit more different from at last 2 years ago and i don't see how the old speaking notes which we have been hearing from u.s. officials over the last years are still when it into these environment of neri low gas prices is that alongside all the international figures she's called for moscow to conduct a full and transparent investigation which the kremlin has already said will happen but only when it becomes clear what exactly needs 'd to be investigated if the division's is identified it is determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course it would give grounds for an investigation no delves so far there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused novell needs condition despite a preliminary investigation that was initiated zoe is or was the 20th no evidence
9:18 pm
of an intentional criminal act against the valley has been established and no evidence that would allow us to classify this incident and a criminal law has been found so far well the world awaits further findings appraises heat of those doctors and the lead. the medical professionals who initially treated me on getting quite this is a whole of respect with them 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 livonian and obviously those threats were not his fault one would think that until the final result in the party turns office not. the only thing one could do is wish that scene of our recovery but it seems that here inconclusive medical diagnosis has already been spun into a pre-determined political one. the 1st day marked

waiting for official data to confirm the results of the opposition alliance accuses the government of organized crime and is the morning closer ties with russia and serbia. the families of british health workers who lost their lives on the front line to covert have been warned they could lose welfare benefits if they accept compensation from the government because the 60000 pound lump sum on offer would be treated as a capital in means tested benefits that could leave them ineligible for payments such as the low income top up payment known as universal credit as well as housing or pension benefit critics say it's deeply unfair to the loved ones of people who died trying to save others. 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 existing social security they're entitled to all the compensation they need and the british government though insists such benefits i've always been calculated the same way the principle is that payments only go to those who cannot
9:25 pm
meet basic needs health consultant those as such an approach hardly encourages workers to put their lives on the line. that was very unfortunate took a long time for the present the bodies of all the health care workers to negotiate this with the government and to subsequently find that a piece 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. very much in the front line in danger and they are low and should not be also been allies just because they received 860000 bombs payment 60000 pounds does not little very far in our current war and therefore it just is
9:26 pm
a payment for somebody who has put their lives in the front line it should not there before that penalized you've got capital we're not going to do 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 backward step or 2 i don't sell to many a small payoff from the government brought the state health care workers onto the streets and when's the last one of the government outs a 3 point one percent pay rise for almost 9 $100000.00 public sector staff health workers that have been demanding a 15 percent rise to make up for years of shortfall even worse many are not even on the pay rise lists that includes national health service porters cleaners and nurses. government predicting that we're going to have enough. snow i'm saying if you think that we're going to go back on the battlefield without section i'm
