from moscow thanks for joining us in the week you run out of top stories here in austin international. welcome to the program. remain locked in a diplomatic row over the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure alexina valmy on sunday the russian foreign ministry question. to provide an explanation for what happened to him suggesting it's the german side that's not been forthcoming. if the german government is sincere in its statements it should respond to the request of the russian general prosecutor's office as soon as possible that was passed on august 27 it is the german side that really lacks urgency but not sending a response believing the slowing down the very investigative process it is calling for is that in purpose ultimatums do not help anyone move forward but it's never explanations follow from russia in the coming days we will have to discuss the

response with our partners we have high hopes for the russian government to solve this serious crime meanwhile a group of russian doctors have offered to set up a joint commission with the german count of arts over the case of iraq saying that as international pressure continues against the russia over the alleged nerve agent poisoning of the prominent opposition figure our europe correspondent peter all of the latest. 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 valley he says russia is still waiting though for requests for information to be answered . 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 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 blatant violation of international law so it requires i mean national response. but i will not 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 federal president to steinmeyer he said being a felony case has the potential to cause real problems in the relationship between pearl 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 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. had to write a 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. mation 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 at a hospital physicians say there is no were cute risks to his life at the moment however there is the potential for a long term effects from this illness. additionally the russian foreign ministry has pointed out if it was used it didn't mean it had to come from russia an accent of only remains in a medically induced coma after falling severely a lot of flights in russia more than 2 weeks ago is a look back at how events unfolded.

it is all there is that one of the leading opposition figures in russia has been poisoned especially as the board 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion and that alex was poisoned with a substance from the north. he's the victim of a crime someone tried to shut him up. i mean while many media organizations are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition figure and her theories are being floated and they all

seem to have a common theme. explains. germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in and 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 is in nevada and based on 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 prevent a rapport between russia and the e.u.

a particularly close association russia and germany. course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so there's a lot of money or 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 time so the man in the kremlin the german or thora jesus showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as the kremlin 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 pulls with. this organ of 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 build pundit and you have no idea how a neurotoxin 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 him appear knowledgeable while view of 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 2 west embarrass and to 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 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 divine it it's very simplistic because if you look at 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 interventional members of the opposition

that it reinforces as we've seen the. 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 you know many fantastic versions going the route you can pick whichever suits you best put his reluctance to say the word never in that cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom 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 putin's 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 is a lie he refuses to appear and state television has even declined appearing on r.t. when we asked him we've got pattern 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 lose you into clicking on an ad filled article the feed on your attention. russian scientists producing the country's 1st corona virus vaccine say they're ready to start 3rd phase clinical trials that as an international medical journal concludes that the drug named sport mcvie produced an antibody response in 100

percent of participants in early stage trials with no major side effects saskia taylor has the details. 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 remember russia practices that was fast tracked and gives great advice but all 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 just about one of the oldest one of the most respected in the law on set. with its assessment of the findings of the trials as a part of the clinical trial results of this putting 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 back desired antibodies and of course a good safety profile it's also worth noting that the head of the musket clinic which developed independently said he thought that those heightened place would actually protect a fascinating individual for at least 2 yes so that announcement from the what he direct investment fund there was this article in the lancet really bulls direct the arguments for the effect of nest not this unusual i'm doubting that with those who decide to take the plunge that leave the vanguard get insulted in it and we think you can create

a 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 time a. so now the mayor told president putin about this via video conference he said you know what i'm feeling fine no thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest announcements i'm doubt reassuring but also maybe a way to counter that one to better word through suspicions like people initially you said that maybe russia has this process in order to declare itself. of the greatest for us so what now well in our sights and if not of 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 of us where the hot start have been given a bit of a head start and can already go to work from saturday so doses possibly most people

at home but that there will be ready for it and it seems there is demand all right apparently more than $24.00 governments have already been received hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik spread. a lot of the peer reviewed study was published the u.s. secretary of state expressed skepticism one compared to the russia and china of hollering about seem to market for political reasons we discussed the russian rock scene in 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 in the way to develop an effective vaccine it's a very interesting study like many vaccines 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 along the highlight some very important developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the

response to give 2 doses of slightly different baxi does 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 dark scene goes into phase $34.00 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 fight. france a terrible magazine charlie hebdo reprints controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad ahead of a terror trial reigniting the brains over the limits of freedom of speech and satire we'll take a closer look after the break. join

in the world corrupted you need to do and. so join us in the. forum made in the shallows. of the program 14 suspects went on trial in france on wednesday over their alleged involvement in a series of terror attacks in 2015 the satirical magazine charlie was one of the main targets alongside a jewish supermarket and commemoration of the victims the magazine has a republic the controversial characters shows that are believed to have partly motivated the 2015 attack the french president stressed the importance of freedom of speach. as the trial into the january 20th 15 attacks begins to be french means to defend the right to make people laugh at the freedom to mock to ridicule and to caricature which voltaire claimed was the source of the

rest to be french means always to be on the side of the freedom fighters well charlie hebdo is back in the spotlight here in france and that's because as that trial is underway that important trial it's decided to take a bold decision according to some some of described it perhaps as being more idiotic and that is to republics some of its most controversial cartoons which depict the prophet mohammed the muslim prophet now it was those types of cartoons that were published by the magazine that initially put a target on its back and led to that attack back in 2015 in which 12 people were murdered back then the world came out in support saying 3 sharlee saying they supported the right of the magazine its freedom of speech to publish cartoons like that but by republishing these cartoons again a montage of them it has reignited the debate here in france over whether or not

it's ok to blast beam this is a poll that's been done by the french institute of public opinion now it found when it asked the french people in general what they thought was this the right thing to do and that the majority of people supported the freedom of speech of charlie hebdo but when you norse that question to french muslims there was a very different response with 69 percent responding that they didn't think it was right to publish those cartoons now everybody seems to be getting involved in this issue from the president right the way across through social media everybody has an opinion and those opinions are polarized. through simple sort of course i support the right to caricature all 100 percent of the historically in france we have a great tradition of caricatural. after how far a coward patrol has the right to go that's another debate. in the muslim world it's the muslim world are starting to use it to provoke it's

a knife for an eye a tooth for a so i don't think you have to tell them. i said to myself i'm going to go by surely it will be a little bit of money for them so that they can continue their work out of respect because they have incredible courage. he said so president well i repeat the same birds. who have the right to express ourselves to bless for is not to kill now this trial is hugely important not just because it's about the attacks but it's also about the attacks that took place a few days later on a kosher supermarket here in paris where more people were killed and what the national anti terror prosecutor here in france are said while this might not be about the men that carried out those attacks because they are dead this is about the why do web individuals who supported them who perhaps finance them or shielded

them in the aftermath of those attacks and this also comes as fonts is interior minister warns that while this trial is about the historical event an event that is still something that is poignant in french memory is also something that we must remember he talked about and that is the fact that there is still a huge threat of terror here in france it is the internal threat within our walls which has become the most significant and the strongest one which mobilizes the most attention of the intelligence services are now also talked about more than $8000.00 individuals still being on a french database of suspected islam missed that could potentially pose a security threat here in france and he said. their full attention was needed on those individuals talking about the resilience of networks such as islamic state now he also mentioned the number of individuals in prison that are connected to

islam is threats and talked about the vatican lies ation in prisons he said that the majority of those individuals who were radicalized in prisons have then gone on to commit their own terror offenses when they've been released now the trial is about those 2 messages at charlotte and the kosher supermarket here in paris and they herald it in a new wave of terror that has and compass fronts now for more than 5 years. so many people are now looking at what surely up there was done with the republic ation of those controversial satirical cartoons was this about sort of standing up

for freedom of speech was this about remembering those who was slain at its offices or is this something that could really radicalize islamists across the world and incite a new wave of terror. so today marks 100 consecutive day of black lives mother rallies in the u.s. city of portland triggered by the death of george floyd's the protests show no sign of seducing any time soon and these are the latest pictures from the city tensions between demonstrators and the police are high officers used tear gas to disperse the crowd and made several arrests rallies which began back in may have frequently been marred by violence. police in the u.k. have declared a major incident after us. right of late night stabbings in the center of birmingham of confirmed that one man has died and 7 others are injured but knifings happened in the early hours of sunday morning the police have launched
