russian doctors comes as international pressure continues against russia over the alleged nerve agent poisoning of the prominent opposition figure alexina bali remains in a medically induced coma in berlin after falling severely ill on a flight in russia more than 2 weeks ago germany sais it's irrefutable that novacek was used against them but moscow has again called on berlin to openly share whatever it's find the u.s. president also says he hasn't seen any proof. so 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 sergey lavrov 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
4:03 pm
answered. but it's 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 roomie julie taken this soon as he was transported to germany and those who were demanding information from russia went silent and did not demand anything from berlin this is all following the same old snorer you we hear public accusations against russia in the fischel requests to berlin from our prosecutor's office have so far as going on on that 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 group poles 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
4:04 pm
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 what 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 day and an attack against mist in the valley we've also heard from the german federal president from 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 conducts a quick open and comprehensive investigation in appropriate in the absence of any information facts or specific data from germany or any response to the russian
4:05 pm
prosecutor general's request made on the 27th of august it's over a week since moscow requested information from berlin 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 in this league you have to write out 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. does that mean russia has not received anything from the ministry of justice or any other responsible oath already this high as they have already just sad the federal government has approved their quest for you to a legal assistance. or speaking in plain language no other information has been given is that right. i reach a way to what i have just said bosco has requested this information because the
4:06 pm
tests that were carried out in the russian hospital where lex involved he was 1st treated showed no trace of any toxin in his system and tests for poisons all came back negative effect to investigative measure assure 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 jewelry 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 way a cute risk to his life at the moment however there is the potential for long term effects from this illness additionally the russian foreign ministry has pointed out if a novacek nerve agent was used it didn't mean it had to have come from russia in connection with a dogmatic assertions that toxic near b. agents known in the west as novi child were developing our country it is necessary
4:07 pm
to remind people of the following for a number of years specialists from many western countries and specialized need to structures have worked on the compounds included in this extensive group of camera calls in for example developers their military applications have officially obtain more than a $150.00 pete and foreign affairs columnist mary the jet ski ses when it comes to who is responsible there are still many questions that 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
4:08 pm
have launched an attack on. one of the most colorful and interim interim members of the opposition that it and that 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 are 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 owned it become an international issue because never really was airlifted out to germany and the german doctors made the
4:09 pm
findings that they did. notice said well it's an international issue because i could never find 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 runs just saying what should happen inside russia. last month russia became the 1st nation to read. coronavirus vaccine criticism from the west soon followed with claims that corners must being cut but moscow sees it's ready to move ahead with more widespread testing the scientists publish their 1st findings into the job showing it does produce an body response ramana calls for it 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 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 ultimately the clinical trial results of the sputnik b. vaccine published in lancet the world's leading medical journal shools to run 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 develop the
4:11 pm
scene and there was a very strong in time unit response due to the development of the antibodies it found that a vaccinated person produces $1.00 times more n.t. bodies do 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 the sputnik of the vaccine people like moscow mayor sergey sabean the lead defense minister sergey should go and even have let him of putin's own daughter was inoculated as well but that happens much earlier now when speaking to vladimir 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. voiced earlier that russia is really whoring there is for
4:12 pm
a shot of the specs even in order to be the 1st in the world in the fight against a cold with 19 all 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 have received the vaccine for 3rd stage trials and they are now ready to welcome of volunteers now once the united nation a 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 professor dimitri coolish from the skulk of the institute of science on technology fields the publication of the russian vaccine in the medical journal is a significant step. supplications crucially important for pharmacology
4:13 pm
and clinical science because now the health data and these data is reviewed by the best digital board in the world although doesn't your know and there appear to you can meet you this is a great breakthroughs it gives that gives a lot of to split and you can give us the almost painful decision really to russian folk seeing these decisions on top a religious target for public use based on the limited date. we all agree that data is limited trial is small and usually in normal circumstances you would rate until the end of the big trials that just aren't tolerated however. of around patent and gaming. is destroying the entire world.
4:14 pm
i support the decision to riches through. must immigration activists have clashed with police in the u.k. support of dover it comes after more than $400.00 migrants cross the english channel from france in a single day. was there i was i the protesters block the main routes in and out of the port but were soon confronted by the police several arrests were made a migrant contra demonstration was also held in the town the home office estimates more than 5 and a half and migrants have made the crossing over the channel in small boats this year we heard reaction from the to protest. the queue of bank sharing not to speak of you know nation including the british actually doing anything to make these people go back to their around time it doesn't have to be about obviously it doesn't have to be about the diaspora the different from august if you look at the
4:15 pm
countries around. oppression lebanon turkey but they're taking the way way more than a very advanced nation lockouts we should be trying to dial border was prepared with child friendly now border war. meanwhile a new dumbing report is being published about the home office a strategy for dealing with the influx labeled a hostile environment program the initially i'm of the scheme adopted in 2012 was to fight illegal immigration and make staying in the u.k. as difficult as possible for those without any right to remain it was hoped they would then voluntarily leave or as johnson's new government went further still some years ago following to strike new returning arrangements with neighboring countries after briggs it freed the country from its e.u. obligations but the report suggests the policies have not only failed but have had quote a poisonous impact on society. we find that the hostile environment has contributed
4:16 pm
to forcing many people into destitution has helped to foster racism and discrimination yet there is little evidence that even on its own terms the hostile environment has been effective in its stated goal to reduce the population of people in the u.k. without a legal immigration status. well let's go live on the program now to alan scared as america's professor of international history at the london school of economics and political science good to see you on what is the main reason the primary reason why we're seeing the scenes in dover that we are. well until very recently illegal migration to your was something at the british association had with greece or italy or spain but not a rather shocking need to the public mind since of it eagle migrants are finding it possible to cross the channel 'd to britain from france and the numbers are going
4:17 pm
up you know and there doesn't seem to be very much the british government could do about it. if you look at the thing from the whitest perspective according to international research there are about 50000000 people round the world who would like to come and live in britain or migrants who would like to come here and i always say there isn't any room for all we can take 50000000 and the government has a policy of. has a policy of processing the ones to come and put him through. a legal process whereby if they have the right criterion the can state. the real problem is to these thousands of people understood people who are coming from trucks should actually be accommodated in france. france office of the saw in them trances a modern country has a new wealth
4:18 pm
a state it has perfectly democratic in-laws 'd so we can understand why they don't just stay in front of the french councils to seek asylum and from so when they come over britain in boats what we asked the french to do is to intervene and stop the royal think the french do intervene but through v $200.00 boats the french stall another 400 managed to get to britain britain has their own navy and their own boats in the channel under international law all these modes can't go into french to. tori waters and these like inspector france they have to rescue them under humanitarian international and bring the thing that i'm going to get to being treated humanely given money the hotels and the. applications for asylum a process which might say many months it is that the frustration then we're seeing
4:19 pm
now and basically you we've got we've got people who voted for for a party such as the conservative party who historically have been tough on crime tough on immigration on the people who voted them maybe on one policy maybe on immigration are are just not seeing bad happen or anything happened and this is the frustration why we are now witnessing this weekend and it's do you think it's going to increase oh i think it's good to see what the government's got to do what government can do about it if people come across from france and vote and they get into british territory waters and under international rescue do you little 'd they have to be rescued the cow be allowed to drown they have to be rescued now through groups into britain and once a month they fear they have. to apply for asylum a process that takes months and if they don't get it then it's very difficult to
4:20 pm
send them back anywhere because very often we don't know where that came from well there's sort of to people as well and who who aren't economic migrants are going to be people who actually need help on don't have time to wait for 4 quarters in their own countries to try and help them so in that case desperate times desperate measures they need help. yeah the detail but the trouble is the arriving during what's going to be an economic crisis and look back at cope with 19 that was millions of people in britain unemployed and it's very difficult to see where they're going to find jobs well the future is going to be this enormous pressure as you probably know in the national health service on education societies greenstreet huge to induce this now because of the pandemic and where you fit them in nobody seems to night the real problem is that. the. population itself which is very anxious about its own social security and his well being is
4:21 pm
that could only future doesn't see well i we should be generous towards 'd people 'd who we have been asked to come in and who will be 70 percent of them have no right to come. you know what and these people getting good treatment well this thing may be better treatment and let them selves get so frustrated allan thanks for your time and your thoughts this sodomy being al instead of merits as professor of international history after london school of economics and political science thank you. a u.s. court now has ruled police may have violated the 4th amendment for asking tech firms like google to reveal the whereabouts of new users that story and more coming up.

a great ruling your phone is still a cope but now core functionality of how cell phones work cannot be used by the government do on mass track citizens in an area new federal court's rulings find jeff rense warrants unconstitutional this warned of the cations most often submitted before there is even a defendant in a case court's recent denials of geo offense warrants present a victory in the fight against government overreach and the invasion of citizens previously. google has reported a massive surge in geo fence warrants the company saw a 1500 percent jump in requests and 28000 compared to the previous year those numbers are continuing to rise in fact last year it was reported the company received as many as 180 requests in a single week privacy activists and technology expert told us about the protection people when it comes to such warrants one of the issues that we have here is when
4:25 pm
the congress in the us decided to adopt the 4th amendment it was being very much because they wanted to prevent the level of intrusion and. surveillance we're now at the end danger of of seeing on a very broad basis the technology is capable of doing so much more surveilling us there have been examples where the wrong people of that be know it didn't feel right because devices were had it for one person to another and possibly still had somebody else's google account running in its all. misappropriation of devices that had been stolen all were being used without some of these knowledge so you can't absolutely identify somebody by device and we need to be really careful about the way that we're tracking people because if we have a group of protesters and somebody uses a warrant to collect information about everyone in
4:26 pm
a particular location we just need to be a little bit careful about how that information is used subsequently and it could be used against those protesters and we don't want to have that sort of level of intrusion dru's nor so violence. the new york police department has revealed new crime statistics they show a wave of violence has been engulfing the u.s. his biggest city compared to the same month last year august saw 166 percent increase in the number of shooting incidents across the city. while murders rose by almost 50 percent. in the midst of an alarming nationwide surge in homicides another american city has seen better results in battling crime figures released by the chicago police department show a significant decrease in shootings particularly murders for august compared to july which was the city's deadliest month off 2020 the city recently increased the

4:28 pm
