is r.t. international thanks for joining us. again urging berlin to exchange information about the alleged poisoning of russian opposition leader alexina valley adding it has nothing to hide as international pressure mounts on russia over the case the us president says that he hasn't yet seen any proof of the poisoning claims. well i don't know exactly what happened i think it's it's tragic it's terrible and shouldn't happen we haven't had any proof yet but i will take a look there have been international calls for transparency from russia in an investigation into what happened to alexina valmy the russian foreign minister sergei a lover of has said moscow has nothing to hide when it comes to mist in the found me he says russia is still waiting though for requests for information to be
4:02 am
answered. but it's we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide the soon as alex in the valley fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures roomy 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 in the fischel 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 me it or secretary general again stoltenberg has his mind made up though he says international action needs to be taken however he stopped short of saying what form that should take we strongly believe that this is
4:03 am
blatant violation of international law so it requires an international response. but i will not now speculate about exactly what kind of international response we're seeing at the moment is warnings and demands flying backwards and forwards the french and german foreign ministers issued a joint statement on friday evening in which they call a dent an attack against mr novelli we've also heard from the german phèdre. president's friend volta steinmeier he said being a volley case has the potential to cause real problems in the relationship between in moscow and in vienna we've seen moscow's representative summoned to the foreign ministry to discuss the novelli case i consider the demands russia conduct a quick open and comprehensive investigation inappropriate in the absence of any information facts or specific data from germany or any response to the russian
4:04 am
prosecutor general's request made on the 27th of august it's over a week since moscow requested information from regarding the tests that were carried out on alexina volley on friday the german government confirmed that they had received that request however getting that information over to russia might not be as simple as all out. there right at the request was forwarded by the minister of justice to the justice department in berlin today in the morning as usual we can't comment on any cooperation regards an internal matters of the investigation so what does that mean russia has not received anything from the ministry of justice or any other responsible oath already as they have already just sad the federal government has approved their quest for mutual legal assistance. or speaking in plain language no other information has been given is that right. i retreat to what i have just said moscow has requested this information because the
4:05 am
tests that were carried out in the russian hospital where lex in the valley was 1st treated showed no trace of any toxin in his system and tests for poisons all came back negative effect to investigative measures are being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance from the patients biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open a day jury investigation it's 2 weeks since alexei navalny has been here in berlin being treated at the shot a tape hospital physicians say there is no way a cute risk to his life at the moment however there is the potential for long term effects from this illness we heard from foreign affairs columnist mary jeff ski who says that no one stands to gain from the alleged poisoning though it does reinforce a negative image of the current. to jump to the conclusion that there is one obvious arts' to what happened to divine it it's very simplistic because if
4:06 am
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 the 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 after the the freeze over ukraine after 2014. we've seen i would say a slightly different approach to diplomacy from russia over the last few months now
4:07 am
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 it's only become an international issue because you never knew was airlifted out to germany and the german doctors made the findings that they did. notice said well it's an international issue because you never knew were such an important figure that this was an attack with a chemical weapon and therefore it's subject to international conventions i'm not sure that nato is mandated to run or mandate of anybody really outside russia runs to saying what should happen inside russia. rusher is readying for phase 3 of clinical trials of its covert 19 vaccine and international medical journal says that the sputnik v.
4:08 am
drug produced an antibody response in all participants of early testing and that there were no major side effects has more on russia's bid to be coronavirus. back in the 11th of august russia became the 1st country to register a vaccine against 19 now more data became available just last friday that show that sputnik the vaccine pretty successfully produced antibodies in all 76 participants in early stage trials now other trials discovered that all patients not only developed antibodies but also non all of the participants showed any side effects whatsoever now a study was also published in the lancet which is one of the most respected medical journals in the world and a russian direct investment fund c.e.o. says that that study answers many questions that have a listen because it isn't out of the clinical trial results of the sputnik the vaccine published in lancet the world's leading medical journal shows to run she's
4:09 am
leading the way in developing a group 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 to to prevent seen and there was a very strong in time in response due to the development of antibodies it found that a vaccine aided produces $1.00 times more empty bodies in an average person infected with karuna virus they had of moscow's censor that's the center who developed the vaccine says that the antibodies that will remain in the patient for a period of years now some of russia's top officials have already been inoculated with this the vaccine people like moscow mayor sergey sabean like defense minister sergei should go and even though a lot of my putin's own daughter was inoculated as well but that happened much earlier now when speaking to vladimir putin moscow mayor said that the only side
4:10 am
effect that he experienced was soo our headache and that he is fine and now now this is of course all in contrast very much in contrast with the concerns that. voiced earlier that russia is really whoring there is creation of this vaccine in order to be the 1st in the world in the fight against 19 well the way things are now according to the health ministry a rush is ready for max vaccination as soon as november or december and so far 3 clinics in moscow will have received the vaccine for 3rd stage trials and they are now ready to welcome of volunteers now once the united nation that process begins here at home russia will be ready to send the vaccine abroad as well so for many foreign governments have already expressed interest in this food and the vaccine and according to officials there are now over when c. requests for hundreds of millions of doses after the peer reviewed study was
4:11 am
published the u.s. state expressed skepticism among pompei accused russia and china of hurrying the market for political reasons we discussed the russian bank scene on the findings in the lancet 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 lawns 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
4:12 am
particularly as this vaccine 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 immunology a symbologist to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in that part. china will seek to rid itself of a significant amount of the u.s. debt that it owns that's according to an expert quoted in the state bank global times out that comes amid high tension between beijing and washington china will gradually decrease its holdings of u.s. debt to about $800000000000.00 under normal circumstances but of course china might sell all of its u.s. bonds in an extreme case like a military conflict. well china owns more than a trillion dollars of u.s. debt only japan has more beijing as already been offloading it share dumping more
4:13 am
than $100000000000.00 worth in just 2020 alone u.s. issued debt is forecast to almost equal american g.d.p. this year and to exceed it next so it's levels of that haven't been seen since the end of the 2nd world war and a widely regarded as being risky relations in china in the u.s. have declined markedly and the trump of ministration initiated a trade war or shinton also targeted chinese tech for war way claiming it posed a security threat something beijing has denied they're also to attack crackdowns on chinese and u.s. media organizations as well as consulate closures i spoke earlier with financial commentator jim rogers he says the dollar's dominance could be on the way. what my expect as well that when the charm all the dollar will go higher it will get overpriced it might even turn into a bubble because there are very few alternatives but that will probably be the last shot us is now the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and it's getting higher and higher every day i'm not the only person who knows that and
4:14 am
other people will get worried traditionally the us dollar has been a sound as currency in the world where tradition changes once upon a time it was the british pound once upon a time it was the danish crime in the dutch guilder currencies change history changes and i'm an american so i don't particularly like saying it but i'm afraid the us dollar is coming till it's a century or so of dominance and something else will replace it. i reckon i could be found from a just boarding events if the us stops financing the world anti-doping agency more or less after the. world is driven by a. day

welcome back a public war is brewing in the world of sport as the world anti-doping agency fires a warning shot at the united states and says it could ban america's top athletes from a just sporting events if washington follows through on its search to stop funding water at morven explains. the trump administration has a long standing 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
4:17 am
standard meaning that nonpayment by a government of his wider 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 on to doping 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 father will operate in a transparent accountable and independent manner that is above all else fair to athletes they deserve a thing 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.
4:18 am
anti-doping agency speak up against any proposal. threatening u.s. athletes i mean this is one of the most terrible things i've ever seen from wada apparently nonpayment is a serious a systemic doping was the rule that says this and is it applied 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 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 appears that the policy of the white house on 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
4:19 am
swallow it and say this is going to biggest and about us on the planet you know give me free 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 caught out they're seen as kind of you know insignificant and u.s. forces because remember he's going to do not test the n.f.l. the n.h.l. the n.o.b. or n.b.a. or even go to colors for its 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 let himself down by refusing to test athletes during and right after lockdown we saw these amazing already being broken and national records and personal best in broken by athletes who try this tiger said we're not training during so maybe dresses don't do well

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. oh hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report stoked face. max your steps because kaiser report was right as always all the time or always right warren buffett has been obviously watching this show he's told he's tuned out of what is it c m b c and bloomberg you no longer listens to them because the 1st tweet hear the 1st
4:29 am
chart this is what we've been pointing to and this is obviously what warren buffett has been reacting to the fed now own a total of 22913 different securities according to bloomberg it is the world's biggest investor right yeah so a lot of things here that we've been talking about that warren was late to the game you know we've been tracking his tardiness in many of his investment themes like very late apple very late to amazon he bailed out of airlines again for a 2nd time at a huge loss he got into gold very late and of course when he got into his gold stock people are saying well you know it seized on gold you see you know the stock is paying a dividend and he likes dividends but now we're seeing this move into japanese stocks and that confirms that he's getting dashing out of the u.s. dollar because as you point out the fed is them now muscling in on warren's
4:30 am
territory right so warren can't go in there with these sweetheart deals and get these bailout deals in the sweetheart deals from these takeovers of acquisitions and huge positions that he builds up because the fed is now out beating him so he's got to go to japan now to find deals probably something he reluctantly to do because it signals that his saying is to as he always says that never sell america short right well that's a buffett's doing he's essentially selling america short so he bought the 5 largest trading companies in japan these are the huge conglomerates he bought 5 percent of them and he says he may go up to 9.9 percent so this is. again the ongoing temper tantrum he's thrown since april when he told the world essentially that the fed outbid him for 4 major airlines here that he owned 10 percent about 10 percent of the companies so he was going to rescue them bail.
