nato says that moscow must cooperate on an international probe into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figurehead extent only that as the kremlin and berlin remain locked in a diplomatic row over evidence in the case. also this hour back with a vengeance france speeds its daily record for cope with infections with spain seeing the virus spreading faster than any other country. and the american media raises the russian meddling alarm again after a u.s. intelligence report is next in the last minute by the department of homeland security.

this is our 2 international bring you your global news update straight from the russian capital this friday thanks for joining us nato says that an international response is needed in the wake of the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure have mixed in a volley it's also calling on moscow to fully cooperate with an international probe into what really happened that follows earlier claims by berlin that the ball knew it was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent let's cross over to peter all over in berlin for more on this peter nato just had an emergency meeting what exactly came out of that. well we heard from u.n. stoltenberg the nato secretary general saying that they'd been shown proof as he said beyond doubt that alexei in the valley had been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent from the nova chalk family he called. it to the attempted assassination and said that there would be a response from nato but wouldn't elaborate as to what form that response would

take it's the use of chemical of that but it's so use over overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating the broad vision of any use over chemical weapons and the matters for nato we strongly believe that this is a blatant violation of international law so it requires an international response. but i will not now speculate about exactly what kind of international response but the german government has also given an update on the case earlier today tell us more about that peter well that's right well we feel we've heard a lot of calls from various different countries calling for transparency when it comes to an investigation what we have seen though is russia requesting time and time again information coming from germany over what results they found on the tests they carried out on alexina valley the german government is now confirming

that they have received a request from the russian prosecutors general prosecutor general's office for test results on data regarding alexei novelli however it might not be as simple a process is just saying requesting the information and saying that yes we've received it it may be quite a long drawn out process it would seem. this is he doesn't usually get into the justice ministry in the foreign ministry of germany usually consider each case on its own merits to see if there are any obstacles to the agreement. well from the russian side kremlin spokesperson to meet the press golf has said that russian doctors and russian medical officials have been far more forthcoming than it would seem the german counterparts a said to be when it comes to sharing data he also said statements and accusations must be based on the facts that are presented. defect to investigative

measures sure are being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance in the patient's biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open a day jury investigation. alex on the schellenberg the austrian foreign minister has also been speaking he said. it's impossible to introduce sanctions against russia until a fact unknown but said that there was a burden an onus on russia to provide as much information as it possibly could he also said that there was no way that this should impact upon the completion of the nord stream to gas pipeline as he saw it anyway that's the austrian foreign minister the german federal president and former foreign minister of germany and sell from faulty steinmeier has warmed the the case has the potential to have a damaging effect on relations between lin and moscow. artie's peter are reporting

live from berlin then. the e.u. for its part is considering new sanctions against moscow over the alleged no which uk poisoning one option is to suspend cooperation with moscow on the major gas pipeline project nord stream too but some german politicians say it's too soon now to talk about sanctions. 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 with the russian state is actually behind this whether it was criminals none of this has been made clear. as we move away from call we'll need more gas in the foreseeable future during the transition and we need to ask where will we get this gas from meanwhile the mainstream media are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian

opposition leader they are seemingly obsessed with only one version of events as model to fix points 48 hours since germany declared the value poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with but it will turn it on i condemn this in the 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 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 is in the volley and based on everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian nord stream to pipeline there are there is a very strong and the west which particular least civically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevent between russia and the e.u. a particularly close association with russia in germany there is an agenda of course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so there's a lot of money going on a lot of money is what at stake spiegel another german magazine has proposed tearing up german russian relations big student well apparently they have irrefutable proof that 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 jesus showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as the kremlin cynical spin doctors wanted the world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxin cynical spin doctors insidious neurotoxin and obviously aggravated by us. all going to force 1st 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 would certainly have shown symptoms of poisoning that did not happen passions are high 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 clinics well now is the time to write righteous and warlike articles to try and appear

knowledgeable. while the you know the professionals and 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 last embarrass into the east inhabitants 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 they try to remove him then and it doesn't explain using new woodchuck 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 he. didn't say you know russian authorities must answer 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 poisoned with all the trouble and of course the killers would find that out so something doesn't quite add up does it really but you know many fantastic versions go in the round you can pick whichever suits you best. puts his reluctance to say the word cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom other characters do not name and that i think has also been banned from here it is on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in a negative light so putin's apparent reluctance to talk about a who isn't

a politician who wasn'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 is well the way of all the being bad and state television is a lie he refuses to appear and state television has even declined to appear in the nazi when we asked him we've got out a 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 journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to you into clicking on an ad filled article the fried or your attention. coronavirus is firing up and around europe france has clocked up $7000.00 new

infections for the 2nd day running while neighboring spain at the daily rate is now almost $9000.00 and just outside the e.u. turkey's authorities are now admitting that things are getting bad again our correspondent charlotte devinsky reports. 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 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 cocaine 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 ry as has been sleeping or were just summer vacation. and that is something that we see now we're all halls back to the number we have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try and 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 lockdowns it seems nothing 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 our mobility and curiosity weddings and holidays which are important parts of our customs and traditions have brought us to this point well the turkish health minister also outlined the impact that 19 is 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 quarantines there are 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 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 lockdown still impacting countries across europe so any further measures to tighten movement to add quarantines or lock down. and it's only going to add to the very already very deep wounds of these you have pain come trace we spoke to mohamed when your eye viral just at lancaster university who says spotting new outbreaks in a timely manner is the best way to fight the virus i think real testament at this moment with the increased number of cases is that how quickly we could identify these small 'd clusters that autumn urging mainly indoors in top restaurants and indoor gathering and quicker we're going to fight these one better we were of to not allowing them to merge into an uncontrollable outbreak 95 percent people didn't follow all the regulations put in place and 5 percent don't swallow and those 5

percent and yooper dies the effort made by the rest of $95.00 i think the emphasis should be and has to be around controlling this interaction before it's a proud 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 still ahead the russian meddling alarm is being raised again after the u.s. department of homeland security council's a report ahead of the 2020 alexion story in full and 2nd half the program. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

president trump's health the question of biden's mental health well will continue 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 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

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 and certainly 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 on the origins of the. investigation of the beginnings 1870000 test today so that's 1000000 870000 1000000 tests think of that 1870000 tests now trump in biden have both set records trump is the oldest person to have ever been elected president and if joe biden just seats in this november biden will beat that record as well now it doesn't exactly take
