10:00 am
really truly. it's quite germany saying it's a refutable the russian opposition figure i like saying about me was poisoned with russian. claim but that's pure fiction moscow demands proof. bridge government's handling of the pandemic has forced many national health service doctors to consider quitting according to a new poll. cooper thank you nothing yeah you are. so cold spit and cough attacks on british police doubled during the cobra health crisis.
10:01 am
live from moscow watching all of the international with me daniel hawkins were you tuning in from today welcome to the program. now i could not have survived if he'd been poisoned with shock that's the claim at least of the russian doctors who 1st treated the high profile critic when he fell severely ill 2 weeks ago it's all over has more details. the doctors that 1st try to lex in the valley when his plane was forced to make an emergency landing with him in clear distress he was making his way from siberia to moscow he didn't make it there the plane landed in bombs that was way he received treatment 1st they've dismissed claims from here in germany in berlin where he's currently being treated that he was poisoned using a novacek nerve agent they say that being poisoned with such an agent he would have died hours after the poisoning and been administering it they say that they've carried out over 60 tests on alexina valmy while he was in their care they found no
10:02 am
trace of any toxin now they say they've shared or made available the data from those tests they carried out they've made that available to the german colleagues they now saying the time has come for the german colleagues to share the data that they have that claim that it that he was poisoned with this nerve agent. of those when you might is not a diagnosis is not even a version but a sort of fiction fantastical suggestion or conclusion with no proof documentation or clinical evidence he would have died within hours 6 to 10 pm he would have been good because it's a severe poisoning we're going to full speed into execution is fatal while alexei in the valleys condition has improved he's been taken out of a medically induced coma that he'd been in for just over 2 weeks and we understand that he is starting to breathe on his own again a diplomatic route over the whole incident continues to rumble on and is gaining momentum and right in the crosshairs of that diplomatic row is the north stream to
10:03 am
gas pipeline the project that would see russian gas pump directly from russia into germany now this has been something this has had its critics for a long time the united states has threatened crippling sanctions against it some of germany's own european partners have been quite vocal critics of the north stream to pipeline. project however as far as germany has been concerned in the past this is something that's an economic project and it's set aside from everything else that may be going on however what we are starting to see is perhaps that mood may be changing in fact friedrich metz who is a man who has a pretty good chance of being until a miracle success so when she steps down as german chancellor next year he said. well if he had the power now he would be placing an immediate 2 year moratorium on the infrastructure project while we've heard from senior cabinet figures here in berlin in the last week and also suggesting that the project may well be suspended
10:04 am
or even cancelled angela merkel herself though has limited what she's have to say to this wouldn't be a unilateral german decision to pause or cancel an old stream to pipeline that would have to be a decision taken at the pan european level at an e.u. level what we are seeing is previously what had been unthinkable now being talked about as potentially possible is this i left my internal tufty this is 1st and foremost an economic project we consider it to be the right thing to do go because i think that we should be coupled these issues and in no opinion not 3 my 2 should be completed not just the folks i think would be room through from the beginning but what is happening now you could have an impact from the projects the federal chancellor also sees it as wrong to rule that out the german side of said the future of nord stream 2 depends on how russia responds to accusations of poisoning
10:05 am
against alexei in the valley now from the russian side we heard quite a lot on tuesday coming out of the foreign ministry we heard on monday that requests for information from moscow to berlin would be met that heiko must the german foreign minister had greenlit the process that would see information transferred over to russia however what we're hearing from the russians. it is nothing is being forthcoming just yet we understand the german ambassador to moscow has been invited to the foreign ministry to discuss this matter further he is a cut of the russian foreign ministry spokesperson says they've received no information so far from germany and the starting to really want some answers to their requests we expect burden to provide all the data they have to the bundeswehr about results and evidence in possession of the german foreign ministry it's time for them to show their cards because it's of this to everyone the is bluffing in the interest and due to political wreckage well alexina valmy it was taken out of
10:06 am
a medically induced coma on monday's understood to be brief by himself now he remains here in berlin receiving treatment at the shabda tate hospital his condition we're told isn't life threatening anymore. just mentioned the north stream to pipeline now hangs in the balance over those poisoning allegations all drugs pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin and told germany to quit a major gas project with russia. but i was supportive of there i was the 1st one of the worst up you know heard of your stream to absorb drug ever when i came along i still remember we're projecting germany from russia. meanwhile russia's foreign ministry has weighed in on the role claiming europe should stand up for its own interests and not become washington's poppet political commentator harmer believes germany would take a hit if it pulled the plug almost 3. it's a catastrophe if this pipeline is being abolished because energy is the main cost
10:07 am
for everything you do so if you increase the cost for your most vital product you need then you have disadvantaged in the rural economy so the german economy will have no chance on competing in the world economy and that's exactly what ones you want america 1st you want. american business to go in germany and europe will be dependent on. possibility from poland because gas. is not coming we are dependent on other routes and all the other routes are dependent on 3rd parties so we will always be able to be blackmailed by the other people and i think that is exactly what the americans with the polish partner once . a saudi courts overturned the death sentences of 5 people convicted of killing journalist jamal khashoggi instead they were given 20 years in jail with 3 others
10:08 am
sentenced to 7 and 10 years it was a top u.n. official. saudi persecutor performed one more act today in this parody of justice but this verdicts carry no legal or moral legitimacy they came at the end of a process which was neither fair nor just or transparent in may the soldiers relative said they'd forgiven his murderers which under islamic law cleared the way for the revised sentences but the late journalist fiance denounced it as a mockery of justice so she was killed inside the saudi consulate in turkey 2 years ago when he'd gone there to get the papers for his upcoming marriage his body was reportedly dismembered his remains were never found those sentenced the believed to have been part of a hit squad sent to turkey from riyadh vertical analyst on a summer of bruno claims the world has allowed justice not to be served. the fact that north was tried. actually raises many more suspicions for the world community
10:09 am
the opinion won't change the idea that the saudi government was behind it remains in fact if anything the only proves it or at least goes further into that direction countries that deal with saudi arabia. they can business levels won't have any technical formal reasons to hold relations so whether public opinion will certainly be negative at a technical level there will be no sanctions or other penalties that will impede saudi arabia from working with other countries. a high profile member of the opposition in belarus has been arrested on the border with ukraine follows claims many are caressed the cover had been kidnapped by but a russian security officials saskia taylor has the details. well this is a somewhat strange and confused a story on monday news came out that recollects the couple went to paris opposition figures and a campaign partner of set light who will remember was defeated at the recent
10:10 am
presidential elections was abducted in medics snatched from the street bundled into a van by ordinary man as many would say not in the evening the police filed a missing persons report and started an official such lots of people one article came out consigned to whereabouts and this includes people beyond about a russian borders germany in britain for example said they were worried they demanded answers meanwhile brussels threatened sanctions and to martin and to what it says is the arbitrary detention of those critical of others article shango it is clear that the state will store it is embarrassed continue to intimidate or allow intimidation of its citizens in increasingly lawless way and crudely violate both their own domestic laws and international obligations. well a few hours later and it doesn't seem quite as clear cut as many and because now the multitude of this story has now according to the head of the better russian
10:11 am
authorities calexico and to others the southern border into ukraine either out or am i. a video that showed the car in which is claimed kolesnikov and 2 others were pulling up to the border i had to give the documents for inspection speaking to a border guard but that kind of rumor started that the 2 she was traveling with did manage to make it into great class because the didn't that she was arrested at the border something florentines did not they say instead of the classical and of across the border instead that she was strewn hour of the car shown enough video that the 2 others carried on into ukraine without apparently at great speed to drive dangerously me marc klass ticket is confirmed now to be at the border in good health not in need of any medical assistance but also say that the 2 seemingly abandoned plastic up on the by the russian side have been arrested in ukraine though that has not been confirmed by. people who are in regular contact with the 3
10:12 am
say none of them responding to messages the noise say they have no idea about whereabouts but. they're also claiming that none of the 3 had any intention of leaving better us if they did so though it is worth noting that they would be following in the footsteps of that talented to cannot who fled to lithuania month ago after the elections either way there are so many unconfirmed conflicting versions of this story it's actually quite difficult to get the bottom of what actually happened perhaps time will provide some clarity. so called spirits are going to the police in the u.k. action with some officers claiming they can no longer properly carry out their duties. so for the record the interview they are. the rise in assaults has huge impacts on stuff both physically and mentally and it has a huge impact on communities thousands and thousands of days of policing lost because
10:13 am
of these assaults and the number of such attacks doubled during lockdown there have been hundreds of cases in the county of less the shirt alone that's up from barely $100.00 incidents in the whole of last year it's not just spit and cough attacks though assaults on north was months as a whole is shooting up across the board there have been a 21 percent jump on attacks on british police general knock down almost $8000.00 cases registered just in the last 3 months former police officer peter kirk i'm says the coronavirus has given suspects a new weapon against the law enforcement. code epidemic has provided it's. another way of people who would assault police by whatever method is available another way for them to get in into into officers. you know why i feel will be more impact if just at the moment. it's just provided
10:14 am
them with another weapon really the issue is wider than just the spitting spitting coughing offices that we're seeing with the covert epidemic and the problem is the decades 10 years of an anti police narrative by the government gleefully repeated by the media has resulted in respect and confidence in the police being severely undermined and not just the fall of. the place of being criticised to every turn a symptom of a problem this country has had to develop in for some time which is the attack someplace on growing rapidly in both. severity. you know the headlines textile some making profits out of the pandemic but now brussels wants them to pay more tax more after the break.
10:15 am
i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's the mice used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a cause or.
10:16 am
welcome back to the program the global pandemic has been described as a lucky break by the boss of the video streaming giant netflix subscribers and profits of surged during lockdowns and netflix isn't alone all major tech players are vastly increase their earnings in the past few months i wasn't revenue in the 2nd quarter was up 40 percent almost $900000000000.00 out of reported an 11 percent
10:17 am
increase to almost $60000000000.00 meanwhile streaming services such as netflix of doubled subscribers in just 3 months but such huge profits haven't gone unnoticed that you use looking to introduce a digital tax european lawmakers say such firms should subsidize economies crippled by the lock down. it is not possible to accept the idea that those digital giants the winners of the crisis are not paying a fair amount of taxes in europe and we can't manage this problem with single digital taxation we need at least at the european union level a general measure economics professor richard wolfe believes targeting tech giants is just the 1st step towards raising rates for all big corporations. i think you seen it already we have a history here in the united states of taxing monopolies an oligarchy leads are huge businesses but it always takes pressure from below it takes a movement of working people labor unions and others to be able to get the
10:18 am
politicians to act and my suspicion is it won't be different. well it'll take the tax the tech giant out and wanted a goal then the question will inevitably follow why are we not doing that for other highly monopolized and overly wealthy corporations. a majority of british think doctors are considering quitting over the government's handling of the pandemic a shock new policy found with the president of the doctors' association believes the issue has been long coming. i think you have 0 is that our n.h.s. colleagues have been feeling and how encroach can assure many years now prior to them how to make this is a profession and have suffered through some of the us crisis crises in history with
10:19 am
intellectual us including absolutely we're in s.g. interrupts the contracts changes to our training that means doctors need every 6 months to rehear around hospitals around the tie and indeed the pensions tatts crisis which is forced many of our many senior an experience that experience to interest time and all of this was prior to us going into the and national concepts . almost 2000 doctors took part in that 2 in 3 say they are now much more likely to leave the national health service to the poor treatment from the government during the code response most planned to get out within 3 years not poor working conditions were high on the list of complaints just among some of the main reason cited for considering quitting were a lack of pay rises and protective equipment. they've been getting from speaking publicly about concerns and medics also warn they've had promised benefits revoked and working on the front line is also
10:20 am
a major impact on mental health. since we've had in many different demick we've had these incredible time where people have been dying struggling we've been separate from our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years. it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about. surviving on charitable donations and figured out how to stop just because it came in just pretty crap we deserve that. professionally at home and it kept better and that was what. was really me with the u.k. government insists its 3 percent offer is good enough and prime minister boris johnson's pledge to more funding for hospital infrastructure over the difficult winter period. we know that the n.h.s. was very much under start and under resourced going into this pandemic and i have no doubt that that impacted on our ability to see combat this fire s.
10:21 am
we had 10000 vacancies for doctors across the frontlines 100000 vacancies for a front line and it's our stuff including nurses say we were we were already struggling with our work force now if so many docs is leave and we have to remember this was a survey of just 1700 doxes with the sides of them saying actually they were making plans to lisa who knows how how big that number truly is that this this really is a worry and i think it is even more who worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd sads may be coming within the u.k. so what we're asking is that government consent is the hard work if those troops he is within the n.h.s. they show them how much their family and they really are carted them to retain them in the n.h.s. especially if there is to be a 2nd spike in the u.k. . authorities have ordered the evacuation of the entire area of all bori in
10:22 am
california and we had record wildfires. during related crime has been on the rise in sweden during a pandemic and now police there want to expand wiretapping to everyone to detect potential gang members. right now we have at least 40 family based criminal networks in sweden so called clans they have come soley for the purpose of organized crime we need a change in legislation they gives us greater opportunities to listen to encrypted phone people who are not yet involved in any criminal investigation without people
10:23 am
who can be clearly linked to gang crime we know hope that all this telephone traffic leads to us clearing up more crimes than we would have done otherwise. things than swedish law only allows the phones of suspects facing at least 2 years in prison to be tapped the proposed changes would let law enforcement eavesdrop without specific suspicion horrific gang crimes of shocked swedish society with even a 12 year old girl dying in a mafia crossfire citizens though are divided over whether wiretapping everyone is the solution. i think it is good that the police have increased opportunities to catch these criminal gangs that are ranging freely in sweden to do they must find new ways to try can take them to court but i think a law that says the police can why it's a private interview is too big a step to take this should be special reasons to eavesdrop on someone they don't see the risk to ordinary private interview tools big intercepted in their private lives i do not think it affects our privacy we are already so monitored in any way with phones and other things that if this helps the police it's great not good not
10:24 am
my style i do not like it it creates a great deal of uncertainty as to water ploys because you do not know when they can listen where when and how so i do not like that more power a state within the state integrity is most important because you never know what's going to happen in the future. i think it is quite good that the police have greater opportunities to intercept i personally do not mind it but i think it can be a great tool for the police to access a large part of the population and be able to stop some crime it's nothing that bothers me and we spoke to a human rights expert who told us wiretapping innocent citizens is not the answer to growing gun crime. it's. reasonable concern i mean the 1st time for. we have in sweden about the same number of killings. communities to create. those we had
10:25 am
entirely by sea air and also in the year previous to that so the problems here is how are we are not pretty mad really in my opinion the minister to see the leader the sort of the relation. relation which comprises device maturity of the rents and sweden. and that has nothing to do we agreed given their behaviors on and on they're going to have strained to deny these you or. community and won't even remember 3 times the chance for a meeting or 2 percent public stylistics where it needs to be of their perpetrator so we know and by then deeds could be. placed artists that death is the guest on what's in the hawks up next in a special musical report with an exclusive performance while backing off file of the latest headlines join us again that.
