that's it. and it. equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we have already commenced business and said we have nothing to hide russia's foreign minister. continues to urge germany to share whatever information they. need case. nato call for an international probe into the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition figure. scientists prepared to start 3rd phase clinical trials of the country's 1st corona virus vaccine. said medical journal concludes that the drug sputnik v produced an antibody response in all participants during early stage trial. on the. 1000 infections reach a deal

a record in france spain and other countries or europe spike in case. all parts of the world international great to have your company my names you know neal. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said moscow has nothing to hide and the alexina in the case it follows a conclusion by germany about the russian opposition figurehead was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent. we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide as soon as alex in the valley fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures roomie julie taken this soon as he was transported to germany those who

were demanding information from russia went silent and did not demand anything from berlin this is all following the same old scenario we hear public accusations against russia and the official requests of berlin from our prosecutor's office have so far gone unanswered we were promised today that we would soon receive response as soon as we get the facts we will react accordingly this is all reminiscent of what happened with this cripples mr novelli is currently in a medically induced coma on a ventilator in a berlin hospital more than a fortnight after being or lifted from russia the kremlin has said it needs more facts on the case from berlin while nato does call for an international response as our europe correspondent peter all of our reports. well we heard from young stoltenberg the nato secretary general on friday morning he said that it's been presented to the alliance had been presented with proof beyond down that alexei novelli had been poisoned using

a novacek military grade with agent he said that they would have to be a international reaction to this however he wouldn't elaborate on what that would be it's the use of chemical of but when the use of overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating the brutish and over in use over chemical weapons and matters for a nato we strongly believe that this is blatant violation of international law and so it requires an international response. but i will not speculate about exactly what climb the international response has been a lot of talk not only from germany but around the world about transparency coming from the russian side but on friday the german government confirmed that they have received a request from the russian prosecutors general prosecutor general's office for the sharing of test data from alexei navalny tests that were carried out on him for

that medical data to be shared with doctors and investigate is in russia now reading between the lines from the statement it might not be as simple a procedure as that makes it sound if the system is empty yes teeth and the justice ministry in the foreign ministry of germany usually consider each case on its own merit to see if there are any obstacles to the agreement while russian doctors have asked for this information to be shared with them as part of the investigation because when they carried out on election the volley was tried of course 1st in russia or in the city of homs they found no trace of toxins and in fact they say that poisoning was the 1st thing they looked for and found no traces and that they need these results from the german tests in order to proceed with their investing. ation we've also heard from the kremlin spokes person to me to the press corps of who said that it's the russian doctors have been far more forthcoming when it came to sharing information than their german counterparts he also said that statements

and acetate asians should be limited to the facts that are provided this fact to investigative measures are being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance in the patients biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open a day jury investigation of the german federal president. has been speaking as well he said. the case has the potential to cause problems in the relationship between lin and moscow but if we look at the foreign minister of austria alexandre schellenberg he said that it would be impossible for the e.u. to put in place sanctions on russia over this before there was any proof before there was any investigation being carried out he was also asked questions about the north stream to gas pipeline which the austrian foreign minister said shouldn't be put in any risk that that should be completed and that the nikkei shouldn't have an

impact on that business enterprise. meanwhile the western media are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition figure plenty of theories are being floated or with a common theme. explains the 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in this crime she said that must be dealt with but each side will turn to dust off i condemned this in the strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire german government. there is 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 zooming in a 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 is a very strong anti russian in the west which typically specifically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevent between russia and the e.u. a particularly close association with the russian germany there isn't a change of course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so there is 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 g.'s of 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. again a force for us compounds are highly toxic substances and as a rule it is 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 was so. i 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 neurotoxin works or what happened to the valley 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 at a west embarrass and to 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 when they tried to remortgage an evil in the world of nerve agents sending the volley to germany where he could get tested for

a new truck and russia would get sanction to jump to the conclusion that there is one obvious to what happened to divine it it's very simplistic because if you look at the balance of advantage say you know who takes an advantage out of what's happened i think it's a huge liability for the kremlin and for russia to be seen to have launched an attack on one of the most colorful and interventional members of the opposition that it reinforces as we've seen a very negative image of russia in the past i think relations. tween the west and specifically europe and russia we're starting to warm up now all those things are certainly at risk because of what's happened and because of the way it's

interpret it which is why i think maybe it's much more complicated why would the kremlin do this at this point but you know many fantastic versions going the route you can pick whichever suits you best put is reluctance to say the word never in their cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom other characters do not name that i think has also been bad for appearances on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in negative light so putin's apparent reluctance to talk about a thorough who isn't a politician one of the legs of the 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 to appear in a nazi 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 journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to you into clicking on an ad filled article they feed on your attention. giving the program on russian scientists producing the country's 1st corona virus vaccine saying they're ready to start 3rd phase clinical trials that's after an international medical journal concluded that the drug name sputnik be produced an antibody response in 100 percent of participants during early stage trials with no major side effects so i skipped hiller looks into the recent success of the. at the start of 2020 good news it was hard to come by but as we move that autumn it seems

that find us not unpleasant to report on as many will now but russia practices the what fast track to greater virus but all the results are now on friday it was announced back in notice that nicotine has indeed a strong immune response i am to point out that in 100 some of those images a page in trials now this comes just after 8 eating just about one of the oldest one of the most respected in the lancet. with its assessment of the findings of the trials because it is a part of the clinical trial results of this putting the vaccine published in lancet the world's leading medical journal shows that russia is leading the way in developing a corona virus vaccine and it answers a lot of questions from western critics specifically the journal report concluded that there were no serious adverse consequences among volunteers that took the vaccine and there was a very strong in time moon response due to the development of antibodies it found

that a vaccinated person produces $1.00 times more antibodies than an average person infected with corona virus so no serious side to the desired antibodies and of course a good safety profile it's also worth noting that the head of the musket clinic which developed independently said he thought that those heightened place would actually protect a fascinating individual for at least 2 yes so that announcement from what he directed basketball and there was this article in the lancet really bulls direct their arguments for next affected nest now this news one touted. by those who decided to take the plunge to leave the vanguard to get themselves in it and we can take you to the minister of defense against like who the leader of the liberal democrat party who by the way actually appeared on a t.v. show makes wrong in the day that the last i met. so now the mayor told president putin about this via video conference he said you know what i'm feeling fine only

thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest announcements i'm doubt reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the one of the better word those suspicions like people initially who said that maybe russia has this process in order to declare itself winner of the race for so what now well on our side and if not of what actually basis for russian citizens will start in september. that process could be done within 7 to 12 months in fact. we can explain it in the capital muscovites of us we're in a hot spot have been given a bit of a head start and can already go into saturday so doses possibly most people at home but that there will be ready for war and it seems there is demand from all. parenting. foreign governments have already been received by hundreds of millions

of doses so immersed like sputnik the threat. still ahead have the same looking forward to this one a u.s. professor has publicly admitted to pretending to be black even though she's white and jewish who gave up story and reaction as well to it after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or. i'm sure i'll see you then. hello again coronaviruses flaring up in. europe clocked up $7000.00 new infections for the 2nd day running while in neighboring spain the daily rate is now almost 9

and just outside the e.u. turkey's authorities are now admitting things are getting bad again so is it to be expected during this post summer period or said something more significant here's r t charlatan. 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 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 the dine who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care has been sleeping or were just summer vacation. and there is something that we see now we're all halls back to the number actually have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try in 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 households 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 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 it's 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 transmission for example in the

u.k. those 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 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 all locked down. and it's only going to get to the very already very deep worse of these european countries. now to a story getting a lot of people talking a university in the u.s. has launched an investigation after an academic publicly admitted to spending her entire career pretending to be black well in fact she's white jessica associate professor of history at george washington university made her confession in a blog post and it's caused quite a stir. i heard this chewed my lived experience as a wide jews child in suburban kansas city under very it's you identity is within the blackness that i had no right to claim i'm not a cultural vulture i'm

a goal to meet so this is bizarre my heart goes out during a black person who invites a jessica group into their sacred space and there's some fashion that shows back to your we have to talk about this jessica kruger why jewish woman from kansas city has been passing as a black latina caribbean woman for years this is violence this is anti-black and this is shameful when jessica crew gets her book deal and it's on the talk show circuit remember this too it white women continually harm our community and are rewarded for their efforts. the case has also drawn comparison with rachel dollars a former us black rights activists who was being white by her parents and even top politicians have been caught stretching the truth when it comes to ethnicity last year senator elizabeth warren apologized for identifying herself as part native

american. all i'm delighted to say on the program live with me now to make sense of it all as much as we can lie no is lie no legal on media good to see it so there we have jessica krueger associate professor at george washington university has a minute to lying to everyone about being blocked when in fact she's a white jewish woman why would somebody do that. here's my question also why would you pick now why did she come clean because she was about to be how did it was a wonderful local newspaper we have here i think it was a new york post see this as a pigment of her imagination you know only in america do we have this by the way i am establishing myself as swedish for no particular reason and also you never see anybody who is black. we claim to be white it's it's it's it's bizarre but let's go through a couple of things here number one and i've been completely serious and i know

people are going to say you're not being serious i'm being serious. there are people in our in the world in our country in particular who are born for all practical purposes male the doctor looks at them holds a baby up and says that's a me i know this i'm a visitation that some me yet this child later on identifies transitions if you will maybe surgically or not as a female and we accept it and i've got no problem with that here is my question if i can do that with gender why can't i do that with grace. why can't i do it with race ethnicity anything that doesn't involve something tangible like i can transition into a wealthy person if i'm not wealthy but why is this so bizarre that's question number one number 2 what people don't want to say is the obvious they

don't want to say she she's she's not but she's white. go ahead say it they can say well you don't look black you can't say that so you have to be confused you have to be angered and surprise and shock but you can't say one you can't say you don't look black what do you mean look black what your black people look like something no not always but so you have to and here here's the thing is specially here in new york you could react to it but don't react as though there's any way to detect what somebody is by what they look like now the next point is is it. too farfetched for people not to realize that today with all of the transmutations of weights and the like we love for interracial and biracial in. intro racial.

what it what does it even mean anymore to be to to be black or white how i'm sorry to say this how black or white or latino or latina must you be what i am trying to suggest perhaps elliptically and circuitous lately is i don't even know would this be this but but but the agere this coming out the anger and you do you mean to tell me that people in it in an academic situation very smart people did not ever question did not ever say you know it's funny she perhaps look a something else so this is going to be one of many situations just like this net is just will not be point but you know just on the point because as we mentioned lionel she's not the 1st white person to pretend to be from an ethnic minority do you think people like elizabeth warren there are just the tip of the iceberg could there be thousands more either gaming the system perhaps taking advantage of

affirmative action laws by pretending to be someone they're not are you. i know you ask that rhetorically because you're very astute at this and you're very good but are you can you see my eyes bug out you kidding me there are there are what ever a benefit is whatever it is what ever there are people who are going to claim diseases or are affliction or i mean why why can't he name it i can i be swedish can't i be russian identified i've never been to russia i did speak russian but i've identified with it do you want your stand that that this no was no end and the question is and in the case of of elizabeth warren the problem with this is that she uses the term a native american and i cannot tell you the number of people who did not know that

native american didn't mean somebody who was merely born in america i'm not kidding you because we used to see indian but we can't say that anymore so we're getting into nomenclature we're getting into the circle with this. joke here but let me just say that any institution had it as a university do you mean to tell me this is where people question then investigated do invest in and studies it nobody ever said i'd like to ask you something between you and me you know a lot of people are asking me whether you were in fact our native american comanche whether you have apache or or whether you're spanish it never came up it's so i find this i'm sorry hysterically funny because you hear people today with this embracing i've got to embrace you for what ever you what

ever you say you are but nobody wants to embrace her so make her an honorary. whatever it is a if a legitimate warrant can claim to be a native american indian reeses a why can't this woman be planted why b b because if if elizabeth warren proves you don't have to be of that genetic predisposition or ilk why must this all right i don't understand it let me go on medion with as always wonderful lobby on the program thank you very much thank you be safe. well that wraps up our new stories but i will keep all the updates coming out the top of the our hope you'll join me for them then on more great programs get going in moments.
