and said we have nothing to. gain. continues to push. also ahead. with the next testing phase of its growth. over its effectiveness russian scientists finally publish their findings claiming the. rising tensions between washington. only.

247 from the russian capital. r.t. international my names you know me hello and welcome to the program a group of russian doctors say they've offered to set up a joint commission with their german counterparts over the nothing. when the russian national medical chamber has addressed the german medical chamber a similar organization that unites german doctors with the request to create a joint commission to find out whether novell me was poisoned or not if it turns out he was poisoned then we'll initiate a criminal case today russia does not have such evidence in me was treated well by doc to news against russia over the nerve agent poisoning of the prominent

opposition figure out alexei navalny who remains in a coma in berlin after falling severely ill on a flight in russia around 2 and a half weeks ago and germany say he said to refuse to go was used against them but moscow has again called on berlin to openly share its findings the us president also says he has not seen any perth. 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 on investments that. we have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide says the soon as alex in the valley fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures were me 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 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 this cripples nato 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 a blatant violation of international law so it requires an international response. but i will not speculate about exactly what kind of international response but 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 federal president. he said being a felony case has the potential to cause real problems in the relationship between in moscow 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 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 utah legal assistance. or speaking in plain language no other information has been given is that right i reach or a to what i have just said moscow has requested this information because the 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 the shot a tape hospital physicians say there is no were cute risks to his life at the moment however there is the potential for long term effects from this illness. our europe correspondent peter all over additionally the russian foreign ministry has pointed out if a chalk nerve agent was used it didn't mean it had to come from russia in connection with the dogmatic assertions that toxic nerve agents known in the west as novi charke were developing our country it is necessary to remind people of the following for a number of years specialists from many western countries and specialize in the 2 structures have worked on the compounds included in this extensive group of camac holes for example developers their military applications have officially obtain more than

a $150.00 peyton's. foreign affairs columnist miri jess pieces when it comes to who is responsible there are still many questions but need answering to jump to the conclusion that there is one obvious arts' to what happened to divine it it's very simplistic because if you look at the balance of advantage say you know who takes an advantage out of what's happened i think it's a huge liability for the kremlin and for russia to be seen to have launched an attack on one of the most colorful and 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 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 all those things are certainly 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 whenever you 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.

just saying what should happen inside russia. to another important story last month russia became the 1st nation to register a krone virus vaccine criticism from the west soon followed with claims that corners must have been cut but say's it's ready to move ahead with more widespread testing on the scientists publish their 1st findings into the job showing it does produce an antibody response picks up the story. 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 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 ultimately the clinical trial results of the sputnik b. vaccine published in lancet the world's leading medical journal sure to rush she's leading the way in developing in 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 to prevent scene and there was a very strong in time in response due to the development of the antibodies it found that a vaccinated person produces $1.00 times more empty bodies in an average person infected with karuna virus the head 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 make the vaccine people like moscow mayor sergey sabean the like defense minister sergei should go and even have let him or putin's own daughter was inoculated as well but that happened much earlier now when speaking to let amir putin moscow mayor said that the only side effect that he experienced was soo our headache and that he is fine and now well this is of course all in contrast very much in contrast with the concerns that. or 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 of 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. publication of the findings it seems it does appear there's still plenty of skepticism including from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei all who accuse russia and china of hurrying their vaccines to market for political reasons we discussed the issue a professor of molecular on college in the u.k. lawrence. i think it's a very important step in the way to develop 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 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 that scene goes into phase $34.00 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. of our story we're keeping a close eye on today china will seek to rid itself of a significant amount of the u.s. debt that's according to an expert quoted in the state by global times it comes

amid high tensions 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. china has owned more than a trillion dollars of u.s. debt only japan in fact has more but beijing has already been offloading some of its share dumping $100000000000.00 worth this year alone u.s. issued debt is forecast to almost equal american g.d.p. in 2020 exceed it next year such levels of debt have not been seen since the end of the 2nd world war under widely regarded as being extremely risky the relations between china and the us have declined markedly after the trumpet ministration initiated a trade war washington has also targeted chinese tech giant weiwei claiming it

poses a security threat there were also tedford crackdowns on chinese and american media organizations as well us consulate closures financial commentator jim rogers believes the dollar's dominance could be on the wane. what my expectations are that when in the turmoil 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 with 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 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 to its century or so of dominance and something else will

replace it. and american college professor who pretended to be block for years is facing a buck blush for admitting she's actually white we ask why after the break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is very dramatic to follow only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and. 18 minutes into the program welcome back many readers in the u.k. have gone with their regular saturday newspaper after more than $100.00 climate activists from the extinction rebellion group blockaded several major printing

presses overnight the campaigners said they wanted to expose the failure of media groups to the reports on the climate college of emergency they say activists use vehicles structures as well to block the roads to the print work targeting papers such. times the protest was part of 10 days of demonstrations by the environmental group which is demanding parliament back a climate ecological emergency bill well the overnight action which was branded a success by the activists saw many papers going on delivered the following morning several media outlets issued apologies to readers while politicians accuse the group of attacking their freedom of the press. newspaper prince sites were disrupted last night by extinction rebellion protests which means copies of the sun and other newspapers will be late arriving at newsagents today we apologize for the

inconvenience this is an attack on all the free press this morning people across the country will be prevented from rage in their newspaper because of the actions of extinction the rebellion this attack on our free press society and democracy is completely unacceptable and the activists defended their actions by stating the paper's targeted manipulate the truth they say when it comes to climate change while some even rejoiced in the fact copies of the dailies weren't appearing on newspaper shelves. protesting in a way that slightly delays one edition of the newspaper that's fully available online is not a threat to democracy jesus you can call us the snowflakes you got to the wrong way round you should apologize on the days when the sheeple can get the hands on your tory propaganda papers. but a color commentator and journalist andre walker believes the extinction of billions aims are not based in reality. over last weekend they were threatening

a cyber attack on the house of parliament this week that they're attacking the free press and now let's look at the engine objectively of this organization they want to have a net 0 carbon emissions which effectively will make it difficult to produce electricity we've lifted a 1000000000 people out of poverty in the past 20 years and a further 1000000000 would be lifted out in the next 20 years or less extinction rebellion get their way they will press to immediately report their views and only that used abolishing the free press and then they want what they call the 6 assembly which is to abolish democracy and instead appoint themselves as some sort of well to coin a phrase commissars of i cannot economic and political system that ignores the wills of the people will the people plungers those interest over the age style culverts say i did not use the right of free speech to everyone in the great. a

university in the us has launched a probe after one of its i could to make publicly admitted to spending her entire career pretending to be black she's white just a kroger an associate professor of history at george washington university made her confession in a blog post let's take a look at some of the reaction of what she said. i have this chewed my lived experience as a white jewish child in suburban kansas city under various identities within the blackness that i had no right to claim i'm not a call to vulture i'm a call to meet. so this is bizarre my heart goes out to any black person who invited jessica crude into their secret space center the assumption that she was black too you know we have to talk about this jessica group where a jewish woman from kansas city has been passing is a black latina caribbean woman for years this is violence this is anti-black and this is sheen for when jessica crew gets her book deal and it's on the talk show

circuit remember this to 8 watch women continually harm our communities and are rewarded for their efforts well the case has drawn comparisons to rachel dollars zol a former u.s. block rights activists who was audited as being white by her parents where top politicians they've been caught stretching the truth as well when it comes to ethnicity last year senator elizabeth warren apologized fright densify herself as part native american legal on media analyst lionel told me apart from the absurdity of the situation it raises important matters that. there is a benefit. for people to have. certain demographic characteristics for academic reasons sometimes for a loan sometimes for mortgages i think we are who will eliminate any distinction any reference any mention of gender or sex or

sexual inclination an application 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 raising your grades up take this verse 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 a demographic. it gets to the point where that becomes important factor and not the qualifications of the people in mind and that's the danger. this weekend we'll see the 100th consecutive day of protests in the u.s. city of portland over the killing of george floyd the latest on friday also brought with it more violence and. here in america.

protesters attempted to march on the local police association building with officers responding with tear gas to disperse the crowd several arrests were made the rallies which began back in may a frequently been marred by violence and looting. now one of the world's foremost fingers noam chomsky is today's guest going on where he discusses the upcoming u.s. election climate change julian assange and more besides the program or throughout the day here on our to international on is available on our website and here's a preview. we're now facing a number of crises serious ones one crisis is the threat of climate environmental catastrophe the other problem which is arising with great care very right now is the collapse of the economy as a result of the pandemic and many corporations are making money hand over 'd fist

of that high tech for example whether it was $1.00 day in which jiffies us or a determined $13000000000.00 or they're getting hedge funds private equity funds old doing. because the treasurer is pouring money into the economy in a way which largely benefits them we are involved in class war. i want to be really clear this doesn't say i'm just going to do what i want i don't care but you can't so i don't know if that or the rule is fragile you know it deserved or they must. to it or judged engaged. exactly as is often the. noam chomsky speaking to our teens going underground that is your news update for
