faster than in any country. in the american media raises the russian meddling alarm again after us intelligence report is next last minute by the department of homeland security. thanks for joining us this is our. russian judge has dismissed the case looking into allegations that the russian or thirty's fails to investigate claims alexina valley was poisoned the legal action was initiated by the opposition figures corruption foundation found the remains in a coma in berlin. in central moscow good morning the judge has delivered the ruling we believe take.
4:02 am
the morning mail well that's right behind me the court where the complaint. team filed against their russian government was just rejected i was filed after their request for a criminal investigation into the alleged poisoning of alex st of all me was left on and search the legal teams lawyer just said that the that the case should have been handled by the investigative committees head office instead of being handed down to the regional bureau where in a volley fell seriously ill so the lawyer also announced he will be appealing the court's decision with moscow's top court now the police are still engaged in an in a long investigation trying to find out what exactly happened there it's part of their preliminary investigation a video footage and interviews at the cafe where alex saint of all need drank the tea that was allegedly poisoned is still under way over 20 forensic investigations are still ongoing of which 3 have actually already been completed and the
4:03 am
prosecutor general says that there's still no evidence that someone actually tried to murder the opposition leader something that needs to be found before a criminal case can actually be opened meanwhile the russian doctors who initially treated. me are sticking to their original diagnosis that there were no toxic materials found in his blood or urine. will go door to use google machinery to go there as he did triggs them and alex in the phone these biological fluids the study was carried out with an american mass spectrometer which contains 240000 standard sets of substances that correspond to the electronic database in the u.s. national institute of standards and technology no liquids going force risk compounds drugs that inhibit colon mysteries were detected and no traces of the unknown substances were found. now with the kremlin's cooperation of all he was transported to
4:04 am
a german hospital not long after the russian doctors gave their diagnosis but once he arrived there the german doctor said that they. we did find evidence of of some sort of toxic material in the opposition leader's system now russian medics and the prosecutor general have numerous times already requested the evidence of this claim but have yet to receive a response now the last nevertheless novi chalk has already been declared in many places in the west as the culprit here and the kremlin wants to find out what has caused this claim. none of the tests biological samples taken by specialists showed any sign of poisonous substances. says it m m big detective a toxic agent moreover they say that it is a military nerve agent if that is true and it is essential that our investigators know precisely what's on the german colleagues have established. so the russian
4:05 am
investigation will continue as moscow awaits the results of the german doctors findings hopefully once they become available this everyone will be close to finding out what exactly happened don't go to with the latest thank you. love to germany's claims regarding nova choke the world's eyes are on russia with nato arranging a meeting go on friday to discuss the case and the e.u. considering new sanctions against moscow one option is to suspend cooperation with moscow on a major gas pipeline project to some german politicians though say it's too soon to be talking of sanctions. york for me the question is who is really responsible for this poison attack everything points to moscow and the whole west is pointing the finger at putin i think it's a bit more complex than that and the speed with which questions regarding north stream to have come up the speed with which sanctions have been called for even though it hasn't been established whether the russian state is actually behind this whether it was criminals none of this has been made clear. to us in the name of
4:06 am
operational as we move away from coal we'll need more gas in the foreseeable future during the transition and we need to ask where will we get this gas from and went on the main stream media trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition politicians they are seemingly of cessed with only one version of events of explains. 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with by condemned this in strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire german government there are very serious questions now that only the russian government can answer and must note that she didn't accuse russia of anything but within 24 hours everyone with a keyboard had somehow become an investigative journalist slash toxicologist slash
4:07 am
foreign policy expert take build for example a german tabloid that specializes in yellow journalism and bashing russia build out did everyone they managed to mistranslate a russian official make up a conspiracy theory that russia was blaming germany for poor isn't in the volley and beeston everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian nord stream to pipeline there are there are very strong and the west which particularly specifically wants to sabotage gas pipeline to prevent any reports between russia and the e.u. or particularly close association between russia and germany there isn't a change of course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so there's a lot of money there's a class war going on a lot of money is what at stake spiegel another german magazine has proposed
4:08 am
tearing up german russian relations big student well apparently they have irrefutable proof that the putin was behind this insane poisoning they won't show it though to their readers so we'll just have to trust them now is the time to hurt the man in the kremlin the german or thora g.'s of showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as the kremlin cynical spin doctors wanted to. to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxins cynical spin doctors insidious neuro docs in and obviously aggravated by us. to see him again a force for his compounds are highly toxic substances and as a rule it's impossible to use them just to poison a single person if there had been any interaction with the substance on the eve of the flight or during the flight then any accompanying persons were certainly has shown symptoms of poisoning that did not happen passions are high
4:09 am
a lot of confusion about this is the best time to take advantage of people if you're a build pundit and you have no idea how a neuro talks and works or what happened to the volley and you still want clicks well now is the time to write righteous and warlike articles to try and appear knowledgeable while the you know the professionals and the experts a busy and quiet trying to figure out what's happened there is another version that you might like one popular theory is that the kremlin spooked by the protests in 2 west embarrassed into the east. wanted mr nirvana out of the way to prevent him from mobilizing discontent closer to mr putin and upsetting his plans for parliamentary elections next year after years of not winning elections after years of stagnant support somehow now novelli has become a danger i was in the kremlin spooked after the revolution in ukraine why didn't
4:10 am
they try to remove him then and it doesn't explain use it in new york which is the nuclear option even in the world of nerve agents sending the volleys to germany where he could get tested for a new truck and russia would get sanction what's happened is that they just fall or short of saying well you. say you know it or it is. questions about this. etc etc it seems that they've already discounted the idea that there could be other explanations for fault for what happened if the line is being pushed into being heard in all of the western media that of course it was the kremlin response or then why if he had been. shot why then was the consent given for him to go to germany because if he had been poured over a truck then of course the killers would find that out so something doesn't quite add up does it really but you know many fantastic versions going around you can pick whichever suits you best put is reluctance to say the word novel now cloud has
4:11 am
led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom other characters do not name now i think has also been banned from appearances on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in a negative light so putin's apparent reluctance to talk about a fellow who isn't a politician one isn't elected to anything is somehow in direct proof that putin wanted him dead. hell i don't remember putin ever talking about me could putin really want me dead as well by the way in a volley being banned in state television is a lie he refuses to appear and state television has even declined appearing on r.t. when we asked him we've got out and video we have video evidence of the guardian live at the end of the day what's the point there is a jar and educate him that these people existed it's full of profit oriented
4:12 am
journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to lose you into clicking on an ad filled article they feed on your attention. coronavirus is flaring up in and around europe france has clocked of $7000.00 new infections for the 2nd day in a row in neighboring spain the daily rate is now almost $9000.00 and just outside the e.u. turkey's authorities now admitting that things are getting bad again our correspondent has more. well e.u. officials are warning that the rate of transmission the test so positive cases of 19 is now at a level that is almost equivalent to what it was back in march that was when many countries started imposing those severe restrictions which led to lock downs across europe in france this week we saw more than $7000.00 cases being registered in
4:13 am
just 24 hours now much of that of course could be put down to the fact that there is widespread testing taking place across france and we've been told that some 50 percent of those who are testing positive for coke 19 are showing little to no symptoms but what health authorities are concerned about here is the fact that in recent days there has been an increase in the number of people who tested positive for codeine who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care i asked has that been sleeping or would a summer vacation. and that is something that we see now you know hauls back to the number we have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try and sort of curb this rate of transmission including here in paris where we now have to wear masks in all streets across the capital and there's been talk that there could be closures of bars and localized lock downs it seems nothing
4:14 am
is essentially being ruled out at the moment although the measures in terms of mass don't yet seem to be producing any concrete results now spain and germany have also seen some of the highest cases they have recorded since the spring time and that's also been significant numbers of cases appearing in parts of the u.k. in the north of england for example where there are already tighter restrictions in place with housel still not able to mix in certain parts of the north they're seeing a very large rate of transmission of. 19 meanwhile in turkey the health minister there has been talking about this 2nd wave he's been saying that the case is it going up and up every day and he says he knows who's to blame. we're experiencing this 2nd peak of the 1st wave or mobility incurious knesset weddings and holidays which are important parts of our customs and traditions have
4:15 am
brought us to this point well the turkish health minister also outlined the impact that 19 years had on health workers saying that now more than 50 health workers said to have died after contract ing the virus some countries are turning back again to quarantine measures to try and stem the rates of transmissions for example in the u.k. though quarantine sort of causing a little bit of a headache for holiday makers and for travel industry experts and that's because the 4 nations of the u.k. don't seem to have a consensus on where they want to impose those quarantine measures so for example if you live in england or northern ireland you can still holiday to countries such as portugal greece but if you will live in wales or scotland if you go to those countries you will now have to quarantine on your return there's so much criticism of this saying that it's causing a complete nightmare for holiday workers for holiday makers as well and it's
4:16 am
confusing and causing anxiety consumers are totally confused by the different approaches and it's impossible to understand the government's own criteria anymore on when to add or remove a country meanwhile other countries are talking about shutting their borders hungary is already done that to anybody who's not a normal resident the reality is though the economic issues stem form the 1st lock down a still impacting countries across europe so any further measures to tighten movement to add quarantines or lock down. and it's only going to arrant to the very already very deep wounds of these european countries we spoke to mohammed veneer who's a viral a just a lancaster university he says the spotting new outbreaks in a timely manner is the best way to fight the virus i think the real testament at this moment with the increased number of cases is that how quickly we can identify these small 'd clusters that are emerging mainly indoors 'd in top restaurants and
4:17 am
indoor gathering and quicker we are going to fight these one better we were of 'd 2 allowed not allowing them to merge into an uncontrollable outbreak 95 percent people did to follow all the regulations put in place and 5 percent don't follow and those 5 percent can you provide the effort made by the rest of 95 i think the emphasis should be and has to be around at controlling this interaction before it's a proud 'd level of community spread is common and the number of infection would go significantly higher and the capacity in the hospitals would start to bulk up again . the russian meddling alarm is being raised once again after the us department of homeland security council the report ahead of the 2020 election story in full in a moment.
4:18 am
anyone who is a real careful this will say well we erred made it possible to have the best output and growth in the world. yes but has it been shared agreeably and the answer is no the rich get richer the workers state of where they are at the old pay and the poor no one is taking care of so capitalism deserves criticism. basically on the inherent inequity of the sharing of the gains. seem wrong. why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal.
4:19 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it's election season in america and russia meddling claims are running wild in us media. in the scene is learning that a warning about russian dirty tricks was polled 2 days before it was had to go out to law enforcement dirty tricks oh no what is russia doing this time russian malign influence sachs is likely to continue denigrating presidential candidates through allegations of poor mental physical health to influence the outcome of the 2020 election gee doesn't that sound an awful lot like what american media has been doing for the past several months there are some questions this morning about president trump's health the question of biden's mental health while will continue
4:20 am
to be analyzed by the media frankly it is even hard to watch the confusion the inability to finish thoughts the never ending daily gas these speculations come out of thin air or perhaps out of biden's mouth we tried it out in iraq is not working for an hour to try to meet in iran and here's my return ukraine covert is taken this year just said the outbreak has taken more than 100 year look here's the lives it's just it's if we think about it i am very willing to lead to american public judge my physical mental fell my physical as well as my mental fitness some american media outlets have even suggested joe biden may not be able to finish out his 4 year term the main advocate of the idea that joe biden may be quote not all there seems to be u.s. president donald trump he has suggested that biden take cognitive tests on multiple
4:21 am
occasions i think he's the weakest mentally i like running to get people that are weak badly i think joe is the weakest up here a certain way joe biden has an obligation to take a test now donald trump self has also been in the media spotlight with rumors circulating that trunk had a mini stroke now his doctor denies this as does the president now one has to admit that the president of the united states does not always sound like the most stay. genius i hope they now go and take a look at the oranges the origins of the. investigation of the beginnings 1870000 tested 8 so that's 1000000 870000 1000000 tests think of that 1000000 870000 tests now trump and biden have both set records trump is the oldest person to ever been elected president and if joe biden defeats him this november biden will be that record as well now it doesn't exactly take a vast russian conspiracy to speculate that perhaps all the age is taking its toll
4:22 am
on the other guy it with martin r.t. new york. a us court has ruled that the national security agency broke the law with its mass harvesting of americans' phone records this key was exposed by n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden and he is welcome to the ruling 7 years ago as the news declared i was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth i never imagined that i would live to see our courts condemned the national security agency's activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them back in june of 2013 snowden who worked as a contractor for the intelligence agency released thousands of classified documents they shine a light on the n.s.a.'s dragnet surveillance practices targeting millions of americans as well as foreign citizens snowden was charged with espionage and fled eventually being granted asylum in russia. after the phone surveillance scheme was
4:23 am
uncovered it continued to run until 2015 officials claimed that it was helpful in intercepting terrorist communications they cited the case of 4 man who were caught funding extremists in somalia and convicted for the court of appeals for the 9th circuit ruled that the program played only a minor role in that case and that it was a violation of the foreign intelligence surveillance act former cia officer ray mcgovern believes that despite the ruling it's likely no officials will actually be held to account it takes our courts several years often chick to catch up with illegal activities and finally here after how many years now they've said oh yeah yeah it's illegal at least people and we're talking about big fish ok and are they proceeded with the feeling that they were immune to being held accountable for violating the law and the constitution and i hope they'll be proven
4:24 am
wrong but i suspect that this will wither away and no one no one important will be held accountable for this grievous violation of what in our country was the 4th amendment which prohibits explicitly this kind of thing. u.k. is looking to update its official secrets act the law commission that advises the government says that there needs to be tougher sentences for those who leak data and there are plenty of other changes on the way to skittle explains. drops to create said double agents the cold war might be over but espionage is still clutching in the shadows and to keep that state secrets close to its chest do you guys looking into managing its official secrets act partly 7 because some of the language could do with being brought into the 21st century data not secrets for example but with the whiff of deja vu also to defend itself against the red menace
4:25 am
the urgency of this reform was most recently and extensively articulated in the report on russia of the intelligence and security committee of parliament which was laid before parliament on the 21st of july 2020 the notoriously where a lot of us russian hackers and madness pushed london to increase the act which hasn't seen a single change since $989.00 despite the prime minister himself boasting just how vigilant he is to credit and bugs and saying that not getting what you want doesn't actually make russia guilty this is about pressure from the is going to remain seized on this on this report i did try to give the impression that the russian the russian interfering through somehow responsible for britain this is because that's what this is this is about the people of this took this country didn't vote to leave the e.u. because of pressure from russia the russian interfered but it appears that your commission disagreed and pushed forward with its proposed changes starting with the
4:26 am
beginning of the very wide anime. having identified deficiencies with the term enemy we suggested that the definition of foreign power as adopted by the united states espionage statutes modernization bill might provide a more suitable basis for a modern espionage offense so who or what qualifies as a foreign power well really anything any company any entity any possible directed controlled by a foreign government so how will how far they must be directed isn't specified according to this vague definition that charities even partially funded by foreign governments could be enemies who are way would be an enemy and if they want already anyone who's ever been to russia or even was walked along the private walls but the local commission wants to widen the net even further the territorial am bits of the offenses should be expanded so that they can be committed irrespective of the
4:27 am
individual's nationality the test should be whether there is a significant link between the individual's behavior and the interests of the united kingdom so one of the official secrets act as it exists now if you are not a british national and you do something hostile to the u.k. while out of the country it doesn't count but that's up for negotiation now and if that does change time means that someone like julian assange anja for example of a foreign national i mean revelations according to the u.k. threaten the country's national security could find himself legally an enemy as would anyone who passes on classified information are brought even though many argue the such leaks remain interests of the public not hostile to them but perhaps most sinister of all the u.k. parliament wouldn't even need to justify its decisions we recommend that the offenses that carney recross have proof of damage should no longer do so this avoids the difficulties inherent in proving damage without disclosing further
4:28 am
confidential information in other words the very. thing that makes the government accountable to the public to the people who elected it is unnecessary or part of it has to do is so that the person was sufficiently culpable so if you are not killed you're rather someone guilty you've done it no proof necessary just so long as it's highly unlikely with such changes on the table one could ask how much safer what i'd really be. there's a saying with aunty don't forget lots more news stories available if you had to a website check them out. if. you just have to fly between 2 kinds of and as fast as you can. do much because i was watching
4:29 am
the produce from which the british were the 1st arose quebec. massless nature 1st a little later just that. the engine was still as important as the bench grille of course where all the russians in racing use competition in the extreme to have a full use the specified routes between the lines with the fastest time just a beautiful little boy who's not me but you're going to church every church unity is really low should be there really truly. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy even for a day shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
4:30 am
the welcome to so thick of visionaries me sophie shevardnadze consumerism a culture and lifestyle for some a religion for many. 2020 has changed things to reflect on this i'm joined by renowned economist and father of modern marketing philip cobbler. philip cutler father of marketing professor of international marketing at kalak school of management northwestern university so great to have you with us we've been looking forward for the longest time i wanted song.
