we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide russia's foreign minister says moscow continues to urge germany to share whatever information in. case after nato call for an international probe into the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition figure. also coming up russian scientists prepared to start 3rd phase clinical trials of the country's 1st coronavirus. that's up to the medical journal concludes that the drug named sputnik v. produced an antibody response in all participants during early stage. 19 infections reach a deal a record in france while spain and other countries are cross europe see

a new spike in cases. around the clock across the world this is your r t international from the team myself you know me hello and welcome to the program. the russian foreign minister a surrogate said moscow has nothing to hide in the alexina case it follows a conclusion by germany the russian opposition figurehead was poisoned with a chemical agent. we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide the soon is aleksey new found he fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures 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 to 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. just a reminder lesson of on the is currently in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator in a berlin hospital more than a fortnight after being airlifted from russia the kremlin has said it needs more facts on the case from berlin while nato has called for an international response as our europe correspondent peter all of the reports what we heard from un stoltenberg the nato secretary general on friday morning he said that it's been presented to the alliance that being presented with proof beyond down to the lake say no volley had been poisoned using a novacek military grade of 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 it's a use of overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating the brutish and over in use over chemical weapons and that 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 speculate about exactly what kind of in national response there's 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 something yes do you think the justice ministry and 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 tests on a lex in the valley was tried of course 1st in russia or in the city of. 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 investigation 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 the german counterparts he also said that statements in acetate 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 elin 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 nord 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 many media organizations are trying to

dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition figure now in the west plenty of theories are being floated down the old seem to have a common theme right guys the explains. 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with will turn it does not condemn this in strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire german example. there is serious questions now that you believe the russian government can answer and must answer with a 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 reasoning the volley and beeston everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian north 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 prevail in iraq or between russia and the e.u. a particularly close association with russia and germany there isn't a change their course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so there's a lot of money it is a gas 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

through to their readers so we'll just have to trust them now is the times of the man in the kremlin the german or thora cheese of showing the alexina found he was not drunk diabetic as the. when 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 because we're going to see this 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 poisonings that did not happen passions are high a lot of confusion about this is the best diet 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 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 into west 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 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 the chalk and russia would get sanction to jump to the conclusion that there is one. to what happened to divert its. 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 interim interim members of the opposition that it reinforces as we've seen a very negative image of russia in the west i think the relations between the west and specifically europe and russia were 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 there are many fantastic versions going the route you can big 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 the other characters do not name now i think has also been banned for appearances on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in that it have late so putin's apparent reluctance to talk about a fellow who is 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 is well underway in a volley being banned in state television as a lie he refuses to appear on state television has even declined to appear in

a nazi when we asked him we've got out a video we have video evidence of the guardian lied 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. to another of the headline stories russian scientists producing the country's 1st corona virus vaccine to see if they're ready to start 3rd phase clinical trials that's after an international medical journal concluded that the drug but nick v. produced an antibody response in 100 percent of participants during early stage trials with no major side effects such as been looking into the recent success of sputnik. at the start of 2020 good news it was hard to come by but as we move that

autumn it seems that bind us not unpleasant to report on as many will remember russia practices that was the last great advice 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 that in 100 some of those images of age in trials now this comes just after eating out one of the oldest one of the most respected in the lancet. that's a subset 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 back desired antibodies and of course a good safety profile it's also worth noting he had of the mosque a clinic which developed independently said he thought that those heightened place would actually protect the individual for at least 2 yes so that announcement from what he direct investment fund there was this article in the lancet really bills direct there are some less. expected next now this news one touted keeping that with those who decided to take the plunge to leave the vanguard to get themselves in it and we can see you think 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 we're now told president

putin about this via video conference he said you know what i'm seeing why no thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest announcement some doubt reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the one of the better word through suspicions like people initially you said that maybe russia has this process in order to declare itself winner of that race for so what now well in our sights and if not of what actually basis for russian citizens will start in september. that process could be done within 7 to 12 months that in fact. we can execute 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 some saturday so doses for most things people at home but that will be read out and it seems there is.

power and plenty of foreign governments have already seen the hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik spread. saskatoon are taking us through that now after the peer reviewed study was published the u.s. secretary of state expressed skepticism like pump a 0 accuse russia and china of hurrying their vaccines to market for political reasons we discussed the russian vaccine the findings and even the lancet journal with lawrence young lawrence is a professor of molecular on college in the u k. i think it's a very important step in the way to develop an effective vaccine it's a very interesting study like many vaccines studies it's still relatively early days but it does demonstrate that the vaccine is safe and it doesn't juice a very good immune response this study published in a long sea highlight some very important developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different

baxi does that give you an even better response and that is something that this article reports on which i think is a very important development but again we have to be slightly cautious because it's relatively small numbers and we look forward obviously to seeing more data particularly as this dark scene goes into phase $34.00 i understand there are going to be something like $40000.00 volunteers vaccinated but we're working together as an international group of the middle of just some biologists to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in the fight. still ahead one of the more peculiar stories of the day are us professor has publicly admitted to pretend to be black even though she's white and jewish why the question we're asking after the break.

anyone who is a real careful is will say well we have made it possible to have the best work and growth in the world. yes but it hasn't been sure. to bring in new hampshire is not the rich get richer the workers stay. at the old pay and the poor no one is taking care of. reserves criticism. of the inherent inadequate. of the sharing of the game. small seemed wrong. but old rules just all. the way to get to shape our disdain you can't get educated and in game training equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

right. over again corona virus is firing up in europe from locked up $7000.00 new infections for the 2nd day running while the neighboring spain the dealy rate is now almost $9000.00 just outside the e.u. turkey thora trees are now admitting things are getting bad again so is it to be expected during this post summer back to school period or is it something more significant there's artie's charlotta. well you 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 coping 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 who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care ry as has been sleeping or were just summer vacation. is something that we see now we're all halls thanks to the number of actually have seen in march where lots of measures

have been put in place to try in this way to transmission including here in paris where we now have to wear masks. 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 cases are 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 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 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. 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 those quarantine measures so for example if you live in england or in 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 is 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 lock down is still impacting countries across europe so any further measures to tighten movement to add quarantines all lockdowns is only going to add to the very already very deep of these european countries. to support story in

a significant one of america's top athletes could be barred from the olympics and other major international sporting events so say officials from the world anti-doping agency if the u.s. follows through on its threat to withdraw funding from water kill up and takes us through developments. the trouble ministration has a longstanding pattern of taking moves against international organizations such as the international criminal court the world health organization or the un human rights council but it appears that one international organization the world anti-doping agency is capable of retaliating if the united states takes measures against it we have been approached by a number of governments of the world that were shocked with the threats from the u.s. government these governments want us to consider an amendment to the compliance standard meaning that nonpayment by a government to fix what a contribution could lead to directly to being declared non compliant with the world anti doping code inevitably this could have serious repercussions for

athletes including their participation in major international sporting events this comes after the june white house drug control policy report which indicates that the united states has taken measures against wada working to defund the organization for years the united states has provided the world and adoption agency with me as the taxpayers' dollars in annual dues far more than any other nation in the world we do so with an expectation that of either will operate in a transparent accountable and independent manner that is above all else fair to athletes they deserve a fair shake and the vote the commitment to govern team competition on level playing field although these threats were not made publicly we've already heard the u.s. olympic committee as well as the u.s. anti-doping agency speak up against any proposal. threatening us and please over this is one of the most terrible things i've ever seen from whether apparently nonpayment is a serious

a systemic doping where's the rule that says base and is it to pull to everyone. threaten one country's athletes over what is failed governance model is pretty remarkable and disappointing what is very threatened and rattled but to illegally threaten u.s. athletes is shameful the u.s. anti-doping agency says these proposals are simply illegal the united states cannot be excluded as an the only country to be locked out simply because of this move to defund sort of piers that the policy of the white house in which they defund international organizations that don't suit the united states will continue when it appears at this moment retaliation will not be taking place if you want to be a member of this force called already you have to pay to take part he had to swallow it and say this is not to biggest and about us on the planet you know getting free doesn't happen and they do have money and wanting to say to us that you don't get is that they are they're being caught at it they're seen as kind of

you know in significant and u.s. forces because remember these guys do not test the n.f.l. the n.h.l. the n.o.b. or n.b.a. or even the color sports overlooked by d n a i d. and c. to relate so this is a very serious matter and you know what it is if the opening shots being fired have to linux because of course the u.s. anti doping they have been caught so badly and how to really get themselves down by refusing to test athletes during lockdown and right after lockdown we saw these amazing already or being broken and national records and personal best and broken by athletes who try to target set or not training during so maybe dresses don't do well but this is just the opening volley in a very very nasty war. a university in the u.s. has launched an investigation after an academic publicly admitted to spending her

entire career pretending to be black when in fact she was white just a crude associate professor of history at george washington university made her confession in a blog post on its calls quite the stir. i heard this chewed my lived experience as a white jews child in suburban kansas city under various it's you identity is within the blackness that i had no right to claim i'm not that culture vulture i am a culture meat so this is bizarre my heart goes out during a black person who invited jessica croque into their sacred space another assumption that she was black 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 is on the talk show circuit remember the straight white women continually harm our community and are

rewarded for their efforts. in the case has drawn comparisons with rachel now former us black rights activists who was i to those being white by her parents and even top politicians of being called stretching the truth when it comes to their ethnicity last year senator elizabeth warren apologized for identifying herself as part native american legal media line or told me his take on the story. there is a benefit for people to have. certain demographic characteristics muar. sometimes for a loan sometimes for mortgages i think we are who will limit me any this thing should any reference any mention of gender or sex or sexual inclination an application getting to that when i get your application i

don't know what it is all i know is i see your numbers i see you are scorers raising your grades up take this course if you want to eliminate racial discrimination stop considering it all and when you start playing around with. characteristics in terms of at this demographic all that it gets to the point where that becomes important factor and not the qualifications of the people in mind and that's the danger. a reminder all sorts of stories can be found in r.t.c. social networks do check out our twitter facebook and instagram pages for plenty to keep you informed and entertained it's the nearest thing to a current t.v. i can give you.
