in the stories that shaped the week claims germany is not being cooperative in the case said it was irrefutable the russian opposition leader. 4 weeks since this presidential election and. politicians once again take to the streets in protest. this is a multistory car park near the hotel. people running take cover in. people shouting chants but there's no actual aggression from the crowd. russia says it's ready to move ahead with large scale testing of its coronavirus vaccine

despite western media skepticism over its effectiveness british medical journal ses the vaccine looks promising. and the french. surely abdul reprints its controversial cartoons of the prophet reigniting the. terror trial getting underway 5 years after the bloody attack on the publications offices in paris. with the big stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements well welcome to the weekly on r.t. international i mean and only. burl in moscow are locked in a diplomatic row over the alleged nerve agent poisoning of russian opposition figure alexei navalny on sunday the russian foreign ministry questioned berlin's

ultimatum to provide an explanation for what happened suggesting it's the german side that's not been forthcoming if the german government is sincere and indeed months it should respond to their quest of the russian general prosecutor's office as soon as possible that was passed along on the 20 sounds of forecast it is the german side that really less urgency by not sending a response berlin is slowing down the very investigative process it is calling for is that on 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 the german foreign minister has responded to russia's request to share the findings in the case saying such a move would take time as they're currently dealing with new information and it would also require permission apparently from one of mr novell these relatives to pass on his personal data with more on the week's developments here's peter oliver

. 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 the soon as alex in the valley fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures rumi 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 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 blatant violation of international law so it requires i mean national 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 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 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. 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 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 measure ashore 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. additionally the russian foreign ministry has stated if novacek was used it doesn't necessarily mean it came from russian alexina vali remains in a medically induced coma in berlin after falling severely on internal flights in russia more than a fortnight ago meanwhile a group of russian doctors have offered to set up a joint commission with their german counterparts to investigate the case. when ever since news of the instant 1st emerged much of the world's media pointed the finger directly at the kremlin right gusti it has been looking at the various theories. germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks 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 there is a very strong anti russian in the west which typically specifically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevent between russia and the e.u. a particularly close association with 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 time to hurt the man in the kremlin the german or thora g.'s of showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as the kremlin cynical spin doctors wanted to world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxin cynical spin doctors insidious neurotoxin and obviously aggravated by us. all going to 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 guy to take advantage of people if you're

a build pundit and you have no idea how a new or talks and works or what happened to 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 the 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 into west embarrass into the east inhabited of 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 using new woodchuck 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 it reinforces as we've seen the. very negative image of russia in the past i think the 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 interpreted which is why i think maybe it's much more complicated why would the kremlin do this at this point. it's edging towards a month since they disputed election in belarus triggered precedented scenes of protest in the country for a 5th consecutive weekend fellers in south once again taking to the streets cities and towns nationwide there trying what they say was a reg result authorities have confirmed more than 100 people were detained on sunday although no exact figures being given a major rally in the center of the capital has now ended with crowds moving away from the areas blockaded by police and armored vehicles or minsk based correspondents filed these reports. since quarter 2 at the sequential people are beginning to disperse it some pleasant to stay here in the rain and there's no talk or details about what's happening here the level of i don't know that the bomb let's move over here to this building and i want to talk about it this is

a multistory car park near the hotel when it started raining people so there's a running take cover in there spread all over the floors people shouting chums but there's no actual aggression from the crowd there is a project called the voice that was created for fair elections they have a new version of bullets in the telegram app called i want you to send a message to it so your presence would be registered anonymously and that ronnie started today 120000 people were expected i don't see that many here i can't say that on lots of people who just a few of them before zagat asked him that the huge behind the fence there is a car with a very loud speaker on the roof playing some patrick bell russian music you can still hear it kilometers away from here and from afar it sort of sounds like some kind of a patrick party but in fact this car is drowning out any chance and slogans it's music is being played down other than yes the much demand in the petition here is the most tense police right next to the barbed wire there are water cannons over

there and walls that prevent the crowds from entering the independence palace the crowd is very dense here. and it stretches for more than 100 meters. just some background on this protests broke out immediately after the outcome of the vote was announced on august 9th with long time president alexander lukashenko winning another 5 years in office although initially marred by violence and police brutality the demonstrations are now largely peaceful where leaders have called for talks between the government and the opposition the latter is the mounting a fresh vote on full constitutional reform. a mark the 100th consecutive day of black lies mater rallies in the u.s. city of portland triggered by the death of george floyd the protests show little sign of relenting. well here's a man desperately trying to put the flames in the shoes allegedly after

a moment of cocktail he himself was holding exploded tensions between demonstrators and police remain high officers used tear gas to break up the crowds with over 50 people reportedly arrested and protests being going on since may. all have not being peaceful. and kentucky hundreds of armed protesters from rival groups of marched through louisville blocked lives matter campaigners converged on the city to mounting the state's famous kentucky derby horse race be counselled 8 went to head on saturday the activists to cried police violence and racial injustice earlier in the day pro police militia marched through the city and were confronted by some of the protesters. one famous american company seems to be cashing in on the rest gunmakers smith and wesson seen its sales rise by 140 percent compared to the same period last year that equates to a run 135 $1000000.00 in extra sales journalists down the list are believe the gun

boom is symptomatic of the current political stalemate in the country. but i guess breaking down we're seeing our street fighting street fighting going on growing levels involving both the leftists and rightists. as a kind of a slow moving civil war that probably will continue until election day and then no one knows what will happen with the election because american electoral process these are so broken down that it may very well and up infighting endless lawsuits and determinate out no one knows and both sides are arming i mean there are gone everywhere when if you go to one of these protests in places like the midwest or the west you'll see guns on both sides and it's very dangerous. and because people tend to use these weapons and cell but the but there's no force capable of stopping these these these. these this fighting because i'm it seems to have taken

a life of its own and it's just part of the whole political structure which is. an accelerating breakdown friendship circle magazine surely abdo has reprinted controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad the head of a terror trial into the slaying of their employees in 2015 by islamist gunmen the reaction to that and more after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

look at russia saying it's ready to move ahead with large scale testing of its new coronavirus vaccine last month the country became the 1st nation in the world to register a job fears were expressed in the west the corners must have been cut not it might end up doing more harm than good but no details of the potential cure have been published for the world to see. reports. at the start of trench 28 good news it was hard to come by but as we move that autumn it seems that bind us all in pleasanter to report on as many will now about 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 because it is a part of the clinical trial results of the sputnik 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 blacks 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 individuals for at least 2 yes so that announcement from the watch the direct investment fund there was this article in an answer really pulls direct

the arguments for these affected nest now this new law undoubtedly with those who decide to take the plunge that leave the fund got to get themselves back on its it and we can take you to 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 on down reassuring but also maybe a way to count to one to better word through suspicions by people initiate he said that maybe russia has this process in order to declare itself winner of that race for so what now well on our side 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 here in the capital muscovite offices where the hot spots and i have been given a bit of a head start so deuces plus people listening to people at home but that there will be bread to you and it seems there is demand all right apparently more than 24 governments have already been hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik is bret. 14 suspects went on trial in france this week over their alleged involvement in a series of terror attacks in 2015 the satirical magazine a surely a bill was one of the main targets alongside a jewish supermarket in commemoration of the victims the magazine has republished the controversial prophet muhammad cartoons believed to have partly motivated the attorney the move triggered a furious reaction from the arena and foreign ministry but president mccrone say

his freedom of expression is parliament. as the trial into the january 25th dean attacks begins to be french means to defend the right to make people laugh 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 republicans 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 fim 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 asked 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 those samples or of course i

support the right to caricature 100 percent of historically in france we have a great tradition of caricatural. after how far can a good tool has the right to go that's another debate. your god creates tensions in the muslim world it's the muslim world that's targeted it's to provoke it's and therefore a tooth for tooth so i don't think anyone is going to let it happen so 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 and it's a lot of respect because they have incredible courage. and he sets out to do president well i repeat the same words we have to. 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 that why did web individuals who supported them who perhaps finance them or shielded them in the aftermath of those attacks and this also comes as font says interior minister warns that while this trial is about the historical event an event that is still something that is poignant in french memory there 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 to how dumb are now also talked about more than 8000 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 that he also mentioned the number of individuals in prison that are connected to islam is threats and talked about the radicalization 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 massacres at charlotte and the kosher supermarket in paris and they heralded in a new wave of terror that has and compassed france now for more than 5 years.

so many people are now looking at what surely abdo has done with the republication 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 more great programs get their start in moments here in order to international will be here at the top of the hour with more of the stories which made headlines across the globe this week hope you'll join her then they will. welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension
