we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide. continues to urge germany to share its information. nato calls for an international probe. also ahead. of trials in its work towards a 1st coronavirus. british medical journal concluded. the response participant. development comes as. a record in other countries are. seeing

a spike in cases. around the clock across the world this is international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said moscow has nothing to hide in the alexei navalny case it follows a conclusion by germany that 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 to berlin from a 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 the script polls. yeah and just to remind you election about he is currently in a medically induced coma on a ventilator as well in a berlin hospital more than a fortnight after being airlifted from russia the kremlin to has said it needs more facts on the case from berlin wall nato has called for an international response as our europe correspondent peter all of our reports. well we heard from yen stoltenberg the nato secretary general on friday morning he said that he'd been presented with the alliance of being presented with proof beyond down that alexei novelli had been poisoned using a novacek military grade with agent he said that there 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 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 not all speculate about exactly what kind of international 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 bonus m.t.s. 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 or russian doctors have asked for this information to be shared with them as part of the investigation because when they carried out tests on election the volley 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 investing. patient we've also heard from the kremlin spokes person to me to the press corps of who said that the russian doctors had been far more forthcoming when it came to sharing information than their german counterparts he also said that statements and acetate shin's should be limited to the facts that

are provided. back 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 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 should have an impact on that business enterprise it are all over taking us through that while

many media organizations are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition figure the mainstream media plenty of theories being floated but the all seem to have a common theme as the if 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 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 answer 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 nord stream to pipeline there are very strong and russia in the west which typically specifically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevail in iraq war between russia and the e.u. a particularly close association 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 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 times the man in the kremlin the german or thora jesus showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as a cry. when cynical spin doctors wanted the world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxins cynical spin doctors insidious neuro doc said and obviously aggravated by us. are going to force for us 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 accompany one persons who are certain to 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 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 crime line spooked by the protests into west embarrass 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 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 to jump to the conclusion that there is one obvious to what happened to divert its. very simplistic because if you look at the 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 influential members of the opposition that it reinforces as we've seen a very negative image of russia in the past i think relations between the west and specifically europe and russia were starting to warm up now all those things are suddenly at risk because of what's happened and because of the way it's

interpreted 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 the guy that 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 fairly low who is a good 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 the

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. to another headline stories today russian scientists producing the country's 1st corona virus vaccine say they're ready to start 3rd phase clinical trials after an international medical journal concluded that the drug name sputnik v. produced an antibody response in 100 percent of participants during early stage trials with no major side effects susskind taylor looks into the recent success of sputnik to be. at the start of 20 twentieth's good news it was hard to come by but

as we move that autumn it seems that find us all in pleasanter to report on as many will now that russia practices the what fast track to give great advice but all the results are now on friday it was announced that you 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 leaving that 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 the sport make 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 last clinic which developed independently said he thought that those heightened place would actually protect individuals for at least 2 yes so that announcement from the direct investment fund there was this article in an answer really pulls direct the arguments for these affected nest now this new law undoubtedly not just by those who decide to take the plunge to leave the fund got to get themselves on it and we today's youth include 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 feeling fine only thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest announcements on down reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the one of the better word through suspicions like people initiate use of the meat russia has this process in order to declare itself winner of the race for so what now well on our side and if not what actually basis for russian citizens will start in mid september and that process could be done within 7 to 12 months in fact. sent to 3 clinics here in the capital muscovites offices where the hot start 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 it and it seems there is demand from. parents.

foreign governments have already been received hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik is spread. there's been another reaction after the peer reviewed study was published the u.s. secretary of state expressed skepticism my pump a 0 accuse russia and china of hurrying their vaccines to market for political reasons we discussed the russian vaccine on the findings in the lancet journal with lawrence young a professor of molecular on college in the u.k. . i think it's a very important step on the way to developing an effective vaccine it's a very interesting study like many vaccine 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 the long sea it highlights some very important developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different vaccines 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 vaccine goes into phase 3 or understand there are going to be something like $40000.00 volunteers vaccinated but we're working together as an international group of immunology a symbologist to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in that fight it turned into art international still ahead of us professor has publicly admitted to pretending to be black even though she's white and jewish that story and more after that. anyone who is a real careful those who say well we have made it possible to have the best work

and growth in the world. yes but it hasn't been sure. and the answer is no the rich get richer the workers stay. at the old pay and the poor no one is taking care of. reserves criticism. basically on the. inequity of the sharing of the gains. insulin resistance is affecting people all over the world it's a condition that wreaks havoc on the body's metabolic and immune systems and results in poor quality of life for many will it take for people to realize that this week's trees can be the worst poison.

19 minutes into the program welcome back a university in the us has launched an investigation after an academic publicly admitted to spending her entire career pretending to be black when she is in fact white jessica krug an associate professor of history at george washington university made her confession in a blog post that lets calls quite the. i have this chewed my lived experience as a white jews child in suburban kansas city under various its you identity within the blackness that the had no right to claim i'm not a culture vulture i'm a culture meat so this is bizarre my heart goes out to any black person who invited

just a crude into their secret space under the assumption that she was black too you know we have to talk about this jessica kruger white 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 watch women continually harm our communities and are rewarded for the efforts of the case has drawn comparisons with rachel doll was all a former u.s. black rights activists who as i did as being white by her parents and even top politicians are being called stretching the truth when it comes to ethnicity last year senator elizabeth warren apologize for identifying herself as part native american legal on media analyst lionel gave us his take on the story there is a benefit. for people to have. certain

demographic characteristics for academic reasons sometimes for loans sometimes for mortgages i think we are who willimon need any distinction any reference any mention of gender or sex or 'd sexual inclination on applications so that when i get your application i don't know who it is all i know is i see your numbers i see your scores as a you're great i'll take this person if you want to eliminate racial discrimination or stop considering it all and when you start playing around with. characteristics in terms of if this is the demographic all of it gets to the point where that becomes important factor and not the qualifications of the people in mind and that's the danger. for all of viruses flaring up in iran and europe français clocked up $7000.00 new infections for the 2nd day

running while a neighboring spain the daily rate is now almost $9000.00 just outside the e.u. turkey's authorities are now admitting things are getting bad again so is it to be expected to earn this post summer back to school period or is it something more significant here's r t charlatans. 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 i asked has that 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 household 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 carol 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 transmission 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 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. it's only going to aren't to the very already very deep wounds of these european countries. america's top athletes could be buying 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 wada kill up and takes us through development the trump administration 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 us government these governments want us to consider an amendment to the compliance standard meaning that nonpayment by a government of its wider contribution could lead to reckoned 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 of taxpayers' dollars in annual dues far more than any other nation in the world we do so with an expectation that father will operate in a transparent accountable and independent manner that is above all else fair to

athletes they deserve a fair shake and the vod a 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 out against any proposal. threatening us employees 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 a pull to everyone to threaten one country's athletes over what has failed governance model is pretty remarkable and disappointing what is very threatened and rattled but to lead to 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 peers 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 listen to biggest and about us on the planet you know give it to me for free it doesn't happen like. they do have money and wanting to listen to us and you don't get is that they are they're being course they're seen as kind of you know insignificant 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 colors force 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 didn't expose of course the u.s. anti doping they have been caught so badly and how to really themselves down by

refusing to test athletes during and right after lockdown we saw these amazing world record being broken and national records and personal best and broken by athletes who are trying to tiger said we're not training during so maybe dresses don't do well but this is just the opening volley in a very very nasty war. a lot rob software news stories for now will keep all the updates coming up at the top of the hour hope you'll join sean for them and more great programs get going in moments here stay close. the u.s. is losing its cachet as world's single superpower u.s. dollar is losing its status as world reserve currency or moving into a post u.s. dollar as world reserves.
