is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy and. to the people need. we have already. said we have nothing to. go continues to germany to share its information on the alleged poisoning of. nato calls for an international probe. russia ready for phase 3 of trials and its work towards a 1st corona virus vaccine a british medical journal concluded the drug. produced in response busy. development comes as 1000 infections a daily record in france other countries across europe are also witnessing a spike in cases.

of broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. right now the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has said moscow has nothing to hide in the 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 she 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 fish all requests to berlin from

a prosecutor's office have so far as going on onstott 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. meanwhile donald trump has said that the white house is still in the dark too as germany has yet to send any details to washington so i don't know exactly what happened i think it's it's tragic it's terrible it shouldn't happen we haven't had any proof yet but i will take a look. of ali 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 oliver report. well we heard from young 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 that alexei

novelli had been poisoned using a novacek military grade of 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 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 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 system is empty yes teeth on 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. 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. 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 shouldn't have an impact on that business enterprise meanwhile many media organizations are trying to dig deeper into what happened to russian opposition figure alexina vali plenty of theories are being floated and they all seem to have a common theme is r.t. what are guys who have comments. 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 is 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 based on everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian north stream to pipeline there are very strong anti russia 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 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 were showing 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 crow. 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. you see this are gonna 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 were 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 billed 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 experts a busy and quiet trying to figure out what's happened there is another version that you might like one popular theory is that the kremlin spooked by the protests in the west embarrassed 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 a new truck and russia would get sanction to jump to the conclusion that there is one. to what happened to divine 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 west 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 interpret it which is why i think maybe it's much more complicated why would the kremlin do this at this point but yet there are 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 the 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 that it have late so putins apparent reluctance to talk about a fellow 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 as a lie he refuses to appear and state television has even declined to appear in an r.t. when we asked him we've got out and video we have video evidence of the guardian live at the end of the day what's the point there is a giant educate 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. russian scientists are producing the country's 1st corona virus vaccine say that they are ready to start 3rd phase of clinical trials that's after an international medical journal concluded that the drug names put nick v. produced in anti-body response and 100 percent of participants during early stage trials with no major side effects artist ask

a teller looks 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 find us not unpleasant to report on as many will now but russia practices the what fast track to greater virus but. 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 leaving that shut out one of the oldest one of the most respected in the law on set. with its assessment of the findings of the trials because they were 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 the head of the musket 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 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 fund got to get themselves in 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 i'm down reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the one of the better word those suspicions like people initiate he 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 what actually basis for russian citizens will start in september and that process could be done within 7 to 12 months in fact. sent to 3 clinics he told muscovites office where the hot start have been given a bit of a head start and can already go to work from saturday so dose is possible most people at home but that there will be ready for it and it seems there is demand

from. parenting. foreign governments have already been received by hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik the spread. well after the peer reviewed study was published the u.s. secretary of state expressed skepticism by pump a accused russia and china of hurrying their vaccines to market for political reasons we discussed of the russian vaccine and the findings in the atlanta journal with lawrence young a professor of molecular oncology 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 highlights some very important developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime

boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different vaccine is 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 that seem goes into phase 3 where i understand there are going to be something like $40000.00 volunteers vaccinated but we're working together as an international group of immunologists and biologists to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in that part. university in the u.s. 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 kruger an associate professor of history at george washington university made her confession in a blog post and it has caused quite the stir. i have this chewed my lived experience

as a wide jewish child in suburban kansas city under various assumed i wanted to within the blackness of the had no right to claim i'm not a cultural vulture i am a culture meat. so this is bizarre my heart goes out to any black person who invited just a crude into their secret space enter the assumption that she was black to you 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 entitled black and this is shameful when jessica crew gets her book deal and it's on the talk show circuit remember this too 8 white women continually harm our communities and are rewarded for their efforts. the case has drawn comparisons with rachel dollars all a former u.s. black rights activist who was outed as being white by her parents and even top politicians have been caught stretching the truth

a bit when it comes to their ethnicity last year senator elizabeth warren apologize for identifying herself as part native american legal and media and alice analyst legal lionel excuse me gave us his take on the story there is a benefit. for people to have. certain demographic characteristics for academic reasons sometimes for alone sometimes for mortgages i think we are who will eliminate any distinction any reference any mention of gender or sex or sexual inclination on applications so that when i get your application i don't know who it is all i know is a c. your numbers a c. your score is a z. your grades take this person if you want to eliminate racial discrimination stop considering it or not and when you start playing around with.

characteristics the terms of it the city demographic all of it gets to the point where that becomes the important factor and not the qualifications of the people involved and that's the danger. france has been hit with a new daily record of covert $1000.00 infections as the virus again takes grip on parts of europe both spain and france are registering around $9000.00 daily cases now and just outside the e.u. turkey's authorities have admitted things are beginning to turn bad there as well so is it to be expected during this post summer back to school period or is something more significant happening our team is trying to look into it for us. 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 that 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 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 our mobility and curiosity as a wedding send holiday 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 transmission for example in the u.k. though quarantine south 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 lock down a 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. that does it for me this hour i will be back with headlines in about 35 minutes this is our to international stay with us.
