there thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. begin this hour with the very latest reaction from the kremlin on the election of the case that spokesperson says that moscow doesn't understand what prompted berlin's claims that the russian opposition leader was poisoned by a nerve agent to me to put skull falso revealed that the russian president has not discussed the issue with anglo medical auntie's peter oliver has more from berlin. moscow is far from happy with the way this announcement was handled by their german partners the russian ambassador was called in for a meeting at the foreign ministry only after statements had been made to the press the following his meeting said again the russian ambassador said he wasn't presented with any facts from his german colleagues the foreign ministry in moscow has called this megaphone diplomacy what we knew but that only if there was any data we would work with that there is no data there are only statements amounting

to megaphone diplomacy because they're voiced by foreign ministry many were waiting to hear what the doctors had to say the russian doctors in arm 6 year their conclusions with the public and provided facts and data that's not something we see here the ambassador of the russian federation was invited to the foreign office and informed about the contents of the german government's declaration in the so-called nevada only case however no fact based documents were given to the ambassador the foreign ministry went on to say the usual lines of communication between him and moscow were ignored in russian requests weren't answered we did hear a lot from chancellor merkel and foreign minister of germany heiko months on wednesday though here's what they had to say and since bush took to the informant soon it is of this that one of the lead in a position figures in russia has been poisoned as specialized laborde 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion and that i would say never in the was poisoned with

a substance from the norwich a group he's the victim for crime someone tried to shut him up the aisle following up with the sleep we demand an investigation into the poisoning of aleksey now while we condemn this poisoning and in the near future will hold consultations and how europe can adequately respond to it it will also depend on russia's response to the case well chancellor merkel also pointed out that the eyes of the world were watching the case and that's. certainly been represented in what we've seen both leaders of the united kingdom and e.u. leaders voicing their concerns over the situation it's outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against. we have seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of novacek in the u.k. the russian government must now explain what happens mr we will work with international partners to ensure justice is done. i was informed by chancellor merkel that russian the position they didn't advise me was attacked i didn't know the agent in his own country this is

a despicable and cowardly act once again that betrayed his need to be brought to justice conspicuous by his absence when it comes to international reaction with u.s. president donald trump however his democratic opposition in the upcoming u.s. presidential elections joe biden did say that the lack of a response from president trump showed that he was weak on russia something that biden promised he wouldn't be and that the novelli case was just another example of that alexei the volley took ill 2 weeks ago on a flight from siberia to moscow he's been here in berlin since the 22nd of all guest doctors say that he's in no acute danger has no acute danger to his life but he remains in an induced coma at the shot at a hospital here in the german capital germany's claims about what happened to the van is seen western politicians demanding sanctions against russia including ones targeting a major joint energy project the government however says it sees no reason for

sanctions and doesn't view them as appropriate on his right because the digs deeper into the allegations being thrown in moscow. nuvi choke again they say there are tourists talks in that his heaped infamy on russia over trucks a group of toxins by the way with slightly different variations of liquid gas powder one of the deadliest substances known to man rebel solves bre the huge operation launched there hundreds of people in full hazmat gear everyone afraid of exposure and here is apparently exposed to this new variation which by the way can evaporate and become airborne at room temperature and he's flying in a jet where he feels sick scores of people crammed together and no one doubts reports feeling the thing including the people he was with if the germans had got clear evidence of no virtual something like that being used they should give that

information over to the russians and the russians and that didn't happen with scruples on the souls and i doubt whether or happen again and there's many questions like you know he was on the airplane then he landed why isn't anybody else i mean again another echo of this ripple case as far as i can see we need some transparency here before we start escalating this into any kind of sanctions trade war or. any kind of military conflict there are a lot of questions now speculation and rumors and thinks this is a time to wait to let investigators collect the facts unless you want to use the moment the confusion the hysteria the anger to tear up russian german ties to stop a pipeline for example hope to the north stream to pipeline to hold the russians accountable. the obvious murder attempt by the mafia like structures of the kremlin

can no longer just worry us it must have real consequences that is why a very clear answer is needed here north stream 2 is nothing that we can promote together with russia germany says it will share its lab results and findings with e.u. nations and get this nato new response to russia's offers of a legal assistance and medical corp russia will learn that the value they have been poisoned not from the german government but from the news if the aim is to justify some previously prepared response measures that have already been agreed on it becomes clear why they're deploying megaphone diplomacy substituting normal corporation with an information campaign public appeals to the e.u. and they too and reference to the c.w. whenever such a thing which started diplomatic reaching the hazards they always have to us. who is benefiting who does something was benefiting and we have as we have already

heard this equation that there are heavy forces would god want a closer relationship between russia and germany specially according to north korea to project but where also that the that you have to ask what could the russian government benefit of such a thing with this whole and politicians there was no danger for the russian government that he could be an election they're already talking about sanctions guilty by default which is remarkable given the circumstances so the russian government out of the blue decides to poison an opposition politician who has been after the kremlin for years using one of the world's deadliest substances which russia has said repeatedly it doesn't have. so they do this improbable and highly stupid thing and these survives it eagles to

a russian hospital where the doctors do everything to save his life get him stable and they succeed the russian government which just apparently tried to kill this fellow greenlights a private jet to said him to one of europe's best clinics to get help his body apparently the evidence locker treaty banned substances so far that their best version. the trump of ministration is announced that the united states won't participate in a joint global effort to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine because the world health organization is involved it follows the white house decision in july to withdraw from the organization of its handling of the pandemic as an interim also allege the agency is under the sway of china in the morgue and looks at recent developments. the united states will not be joining international efforts to produce a vaccine due to political concern so many see this as yet another blow to health

diplomacy the united states will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt while total can i say sion and china the global vaccine initiative known as kovacs is co-lead by the world health organization 170 different countries are participating the goal is to get global distribution for several different vaccines after they've been licensed and approved by the end of 2021 the world health organization has repeatedly warned about the dangers of global disunity and near a pandemic they are warning about the need to oppose vaccine nationalism and above all national unity. and global solidarity are essential. this virus thrives when we are divided. when we are united we can

defeat it when a successful new vaccine is found there will be greater demand then there is supply . because the mind and competition for supplies already creating bucks emotionalism and risk of price gouging relations between the united states and the world health organization have been strained for quite some time despite his praise for the organization at the beginning of the pandemic donald trump made. and all the united states out of the global watched are because they're failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms we will be today terminating our relationship with the world health organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs the latest decision from the united states to pull out of efforts for a global vaccine have raised a storm of criticism rolla just and politicians have spoken up so that donald trump

is essentially shooting himself in the foot trumps go it alone strategy has already given us the highest death toll in the world at his inaugural he spoke of american carnage and now seems to term and to make it a reality america 1st doesn't apply to condemn ics viruses don't observe national borders if anyone is at risk we all are refusing to cooperate with other countries on vaccines will kill people this latest decision from the united states to pull out local vaccine efforts may be seen as just the latest example of donald trump's ambitious america 1st policies however comes to a situation like this it might not be wise to put pride and politics over your population with martin r.t. new york. washington has imposed sanctions on senior officials of the

international criminal court to state my pombo says that the i.c.c. is corrupt and has no or thora to the international criminal court. thoroughly broken in corrupted institution. the united states has never ratified the rome statute that created the court and we will not tolerate is illegitimate have to subject americans to its jurisdiction washington is unhappy with the i.c.c. scare and investigation into alleged u.s. war crimes in afghanistan the courts also investigating america's close ally israel of a possible crimes related to jewish settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem neither the us nor israel belong to the i.c.c. the court itself has condemned the sanctions. these coercive acts directed at an international judicial institution and its civil servants around president did and constitute serious attacks against the court and the rule of law or more generally secretary of state compares announcement today marks

a stunning perversion of u.s. sanctions devised to penalize rights abuses and kleptocrats to persecute those tasked with prosecuting international crimes the trumpet ministration has twisted the sanctions to obstruct justice not only for certain war crimes victims but for atrocity victims anywhere looking to the international criminal court for justice. human rights lawyer don't go as an international law should apply to war countries with no exceptions the us for many. have taken the position that because they're a mighty as they all share in the world. it doesn't have to be. the international or. it's above international law and i think trump is just frankly taking that to its logical conclusion the united states has been opposed to the international criminal court it least as to the extent that

the i.c.c. could prosecute western countries from the very beginning and now trump is sanctioning it because it wants to investigate us war crimes in afghanistan and israeli war crimes in palestine to be fair for other countries to say look us you know what's good for the goose is good for the gander if the international law doesn't apply to you it doesn't apply to me. takedowns google and apple have rolled out a new coded 19 content pricing system but critics say it might compromise previously more not after a quick break. the leftist senseo lost in november election and they're trying to cause

trouble they're stirring the pot and they're trying to get a little bit of a civil war going but they can blame trump for that one way to do that is by saying it's ok to loot the small businesses and the bad is that's a. really common demand just her social unrest looting and violence so that's what the left is up to now. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dared to ask.

bunk the republican is demanding that japan pay damages of $34000000.00 it wants the money to support his fishing industry the tons of oil spill from a japanese ship last month the money comes after a mass demonstration in the capital of malicious of the government's inaction in dealing with the crisis focuses called on the island's leader and other top officials to step down locals a furious as the spill and cleanup operations resulted in irreparable harm to the on this.

i am. we spoke to journalist all of a tickle he says that too much time has been wasted. the japanese government does seem to want to put a line on the incident. but. it falls short of taking full responsibility no one has acted. with integrity or with urgency there was a precious time window of 12 days between the original accident taking place on the

25th of july and the boat breaking up and releasing oil on the 6th of august and 1 has to wonder why you know why was all that time allowed to pass in some kind of marine rescue could have taken place and is only really the local people of the richest people in the fishing communities that have been affected by the oil spill who really seem to have done everything that they possibly could in order to put this damn it right and who deserve the highest praise for what they've done. google and apple have announced the new coven 1000 contact tracing system which runs on smartphones their ideas to help users find out when they've come into contact with an infected person and the tools are integrated into the i o. s. and android operating systems meaning there's no need to download an app the next

step in our work with public health authorities on exposure notifications we're making it easier and faster for them to use the exposure notification system without the need for them to build and maintain an app. the new system called exposure notifications xpress will work like a notification tool that uses bluetooth signals from smart phones that have opted in if someone tests positive for go over 19 push notifications will be sent out to other phones informing users they might have been exposed to the virus however there are fears that the new updates may pose a threat to people's privacy we asked people what they think. and a good idea again it's invading privacy and if it's just another form of china track. i know you care about your privacy but you care for other people you know it's you know for the benefit of the success of the city you. feel like apple and google probably could use it for profit but like in the case of call of it i think you would probably be helpful and just sort of feel comfortable with big brother

knowing everything that age you you know it's that that's the 1st step to controlling people you know we're going to do we got to do to get this virus into control we spoke about the changes we just boehm the co-founder of messaging and social networking service side. it is small amounts of data it's being transmitted but i think what's more important to focus on here is not the size or thing how to transmit it but the potential for abuse that exists there and even if you trust your public health officials no system is on there my biggest concern probably even more is to transparency when users opt into the service they know what they're on board nor in any potential privacy concerns i still have some issues where i'm not entirely sure this is something that's going to be beneficial essentially what this is doing is increasing the rate at which we can share information and misinformation could potentially be included in that whether or not it's

intentional and then the other point of it is how reliable are the tests that we're using to the game itself or to know that if someone's tested positive but if there happens to be a high false positive test rate i'm not sure it's beneficial and this is certainly just spread information around. the humanitarian disaster in yemen is a brutal impact on the country's younger generation of to 5 years of civil war many children of people to drop out of school and then money simply to feed their families and situations only gotten worse because of the pandemic and aid groups are saying urgent help is needed. i was forced to go to work because my father is sick his back hurts he can't work

any more. than i was lucky to find this job i'm working to support my family but the wages on and not. good enough. we don't have anything to eat sometimes we receive some donations we live in a small place inside a mosque where the rent is $60.00 a month but i can't afford it. yet children are definitely the most affected by the war in yemen those who survived the direct effects of war such as sniping or indiscriminate bombing now

have to survive the suffering of manual labor. and that brings you up to date thanks so much for joining me here in our teens a national day back tomorrow do stay with us though you can check out more stories if you had told website altie don't call and my colleagues are going to go behave with the very latest updates on the stories and often are. during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bomb to neighboring laos there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is officially mouth can rebound country per capita. human history millions of

unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber thing going on it cannot happen if there even today kids in laos full victim to bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for that tragedy in laos won't help to the people need in that little land of mines. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence the point is to create. a very thing with artificial intelligence where some of the.

robot must protect its own existence. i everybody has it this is the kaiser of port au. max this is the last week that i am allowed to wear white according to the fashion police so you know when labor day comes up we're not supposed to wear white after that so i'm going to wear as much white as possible hopefully i'm not blowing your eyes out you look like the good humor woman. delivering on ice cream in the good good humor woman truck thing well you know what there's a lot of looting and plunder going on and we have to refer to the quote from

frederick boss doubts that we refer to all the time because this is something we've warned you about for a decade now and it's really really coming true fredrick boss to get said when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies the good words of warning there you know looting begets more looting of becomes institutionalized becomes accepted at the top and then you have a class of people that come up with elaborate ways to defend their looting in the name of let's say patriotism or religious fervor or capitalism or some other reason and then society splits apart and that's alright well let's talk about the looting and plunder that we see up at the top we have the

central bank and what do they do money print to go put it right what is that doing but stealing is theft through inflation and flesh inflation is a form of fast it's taking savings from people who don't necessarily want their savings looted then you have the private equity. group below them who are overseen by the central banks the next step down from the central banks the private equity what do they do they strip a company they buy up these companies using the company's own assets by the way it's like that's a form of theft right like ok we're going to use your net assets we're not going to use our own money we're going to buy you out and then hollow it out swap your assets # for debt bankrupt the pension of your company employees and then we're going to leave a carcass of an economy behind and now the next step as we see these people. looting and rioting in the streets plundering in the streets smashing up small businesses and medium sized enterprises and stuff like that militias forming here's

from the left wing side of it here's yeah it comes the money shot check this out this is crazy crazy write that check it out it's so crazy be prepared to sit down if you're not sitting down strap yourself in you're going to be a wild ride the next 30 seconds it's actually a g o p myth that has over the last 20 years really crawled into an even leftist discourse that the small business owner must be respected that the small business owner crease jobs and is part of the community says the author of in defense of looting so the small business owners don't longer seen as the engine of the growth in an economy this is a deferral to the keynesian central planners i mean this is the alternative to having small businesses at the root of the economy is to defer to central planners right so that's a repudiation of the entire concept of the enlightenment going back to adam smith

right so this is a return to either neo feudalism but you must respect the king but only the king knows or it's an acceptance of a certain let's call soviet as a show of economy centrally planned pull up your oh those are the 2 discuss how you would justify this. if you believe in those 2 systems i mean of course we have a robber baron system now right we have jeff bezos just turned to a 200 billionaire he's worth 200000000000 the 1st ever to work be worth that much nominally that is because exactly what this person is talking about private equity has already looted a lot of the system and then into that comes all of these huge monopolist that have monopoly pricing power and predatory pricing power over you know people who provide the goods and services to the marketplace like amazon so we already have a system whereby they're championing so now this person is saying that and national public radio.
