thank you you really truly. thank. you. despite germany's saying it's irrefutable the russian opposition figure i like the new valmy was poisoned with novacek the russian dog to see 1st treated him play now is pure fiction one last go demands proof. to me a figure of developers opposition is arrested on the border with ukraine but it made differing versions of events president bush and co shared his understanding of what happened in an interview with russian journalists. british government's handling of the pandemic has forced many state health service doctors to consider quitting according to a new poll also ahead. of the cooper thank you note that they are. so called stick and confidant song

british police to double during the covert health crisis. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me and. the next thing about me could not have survived if he had been poisoned was not a chalk that's the claim of the russian doctors who 1st treated the hope of high profile kremlin critic when he fell severely ill nearly 3 weeks ago piece all of a has the details the doctors that 1st trust the legs in the valley when his plane was forced to make an emergency landing with him in clear distress you was making its way from siberia to moscow he didn't make it there the plane landed in 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. agent they say that had he been 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 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're 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 know it's not a diagnosis it's not even the 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 feasible 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 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 signed pulling 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 angle or merkel 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 and also suggesting that the project may well be suspended 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. i think would be room through from the beginning but what is

happening know 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 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 russian side 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 maria's account of the russian foreign ministry spokesperson says they've received no information so far from germany and a 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 the evidence in possession of the german foreign ministry it's time for them to show their cards because it's obvious to everyone that the un is bluffing in the interest and due to political record well alexina valmy it was taken out of a medically induced coma on monday he's understood to be breathing by himself now he remains here receiving treatment at the shot at a hospital his condition we're told isn't life threatening anymore. as just mentioned the north stream 2 pipeline now hangs in the balance over the poisoning allegations donald trump has repeatedly told germany to quit the major gas project with russia. supporter there i was the 1st one to work up you know heard of your street to a dog ever when i came along i said wait a minute we're protecting germany from russia. russia's foreign ministry has weighed in on the route claiming europe should stand up for its own interests and

not become washington's puppet german political commentator ica harmer believes berlin would take a significant hit if it pulled the plug on north stream. it's a catastrophe if this pipeline is being abolished because energy is the main cost 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 german economy will have the chance on competing in the world economy and that's exactly what ones you want america 1st he wants american business to go in germany and europe will be dependent on. possibilities from poland because the gas pipeline 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 this is exactly what the americans with their polish partner once. a high profile member of the opposition in bella ruse has been arrested on the border with ukraine and follows claims maria kolesnik over had been kidnapped spying by the russian security officials people have been protesting on the streets of minsk the telescope has arrest count again waving the symbolic whiten flag red flag of the opposition and chanting let her go and proclaiming kolesnik over a halo around her however there are differing versions of the events that led to the of rest as r.t. zealots are trying to explain. is in turmoil after the election won by alexander lukashenko the opposition claims that the election was fraudulent and on monday a senior opposition figure maria kolesnik of are along with 2 other men of war opposition members as well disappear they couldn't be reached by phone and their

whereabouts are unknown and after pretty much 24 hours of conflict reports many rumors then statements on behalf. the authorities and the supporters of the opposition the president decided to speak out in fact he was giving an interview to russian t.v. journalists and our editor in chief but again the cement was there so let me just say that on tuesday russian officials began saying that the authorities had to detain maria kolesnikov out as she was trying to escape the country through bell russa's southern border with ukraine because she broke the law while trying to do that now what you are about to hear right now are the latest statements by the russian leader alexander lukashenko this is how he explained what he knows what's going on with it could you give us more detail about marie kolesnikov where is she

. i probably cannot give you much detail gigia the fact that i was only told that she and her 2 friends or drivers or close ones or distant ones they fled to ukraine today and they had documents and everything prepared in advance they showed their passports on our side customs officers border guards let them through further on is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts there are 8 to 9 kilometers and there our border is heavily guarded so we deployed more guards naturally they were stopped they froze the gas pedal she was even thrown out of the car on the move well on the run. so they themselves did it yes well there were 3 of them who could have thrown her out border guards of course detained her has would have been expected i say this is an old border guard and she was sent to the border office and the car went across the a crane border up through the ukrainian post and then as far as i'm now informed they were detained and we negotiating with them so that they return them to us.

what for they left they relatively speaking of were released from the roofs you know they could not be detained they travelled legally with documents but they violated the state border they checked in at the checkpoint the border guards and customs officers did their jobs and the border itself is another 8 or 10 kilometers away and they drove right through this reinforced post and hid in ukraine allegedly this woman sister lives in ukraine allegedly i don't know for sure they told me this today i ask why is it ukrainian not lithuania not hungry as they usually go to but someone's relatives a said to live there i cannot claim so i don't know everything yet therefore she was detained and we asked the ukrainian border guards to return the others to our country we will investigate what happened so just let me repeat these were the latest updates from the bell russian leader alexander lukashenko who was trying to explain this very complicated story from the side of the bell russian government so

once again the bell russian authorities are calling. this an attempt to flee the country by maria kolesnikov after she was thrown out of the vehicle and they're saying that the people inside the vehicle were not following the orders by the border guards but i can tell you that the bill russian opposition have their side of the story and they are providing. a totally different version of events according to the anti-government activists america less nic of a with the 2 other men were abducted somewhere else in bel roofs and then were deliberately taken to the border to be kicked out of the country but in order for that not to happen maria kolesnik allegedly decided to tear up her passport and that made it impossible for her to go through the border to get into ukraine although as far as i understand the other men were able to enter ukraine the bell russian president saying that they are now detained there but like

i've said connection with all these activists house has been lost so again a very complicated story but what i can tell you is that the reaction from europe has been simple they do not trust the bell russian government and without hearing their side of the story they decided to come out with threats and here is one example of that it is clear that the. continued to intimidate or low intimidation of its citizens in an increasingly way and crudely violate both domestic and international obligations now just going back to that interview with the bell russian president mr lucas shank oh i can tell you that there was a lot to talk about of course and soon that conversation will be available on our t.v. stay tuned for that as well and surely we will also be following the situation with

maria kolesnikov and her fellow opposition activists. physical assaults on british police officers known as spit and puff attacks on the rise suspects are said to be taking advantage of fans of covert contamination. i. don't want their support but you know if they are. right. 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 of these assaults and a county of less to share alone the number of attacks doubled during lockdown more than 200 were recorded in just 3 months that's up from barely 100 instance in the whole of last year but it's not just spit in cough attacks assaults are shooting up across the board there's been a 21 percent jump in attacks on british police during the lockdown almost $8000.00

cases were registered from a pulley for london police officer peter clarke and ses the coronavirus has given suspects a new weapon against the arthritis code has provided. another way of people who would assault police by whatever method is available another wife for them to get in into into offices. you know why i feel will be more impact if just at the moment. it's just provided them with another weapon really the issue is wider than just the spitting spitting and coughing offices that we're seeing with the covert epidemic and the problem is the decades 10 years of i don't see police narrative by the government gleefully repeats it 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 is hot developing for some time which is the stock someplace on growing rapidly in both number of era say. plenty had here are not paid including the wild tech giants making bombs no profit is not out of the pandemic. replies of the pie will take you through that after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to shape out. does the attic. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back the global pandemic has been described as a lucky break by the boss of the video streaming giant netflix its profits have surged during the lock downs on the company's not alone all the major tech players have vastly increased their earnings in the last few months i wasn't revenue in the 2nd quarter was up 40 percent almost $90000000000.00 apple reported a leaven percent increase almost $60000000000.00 well meanwhile streaming services have doubled subscribers in just 3 months but such huge profits haven't gone unnoticed the e.u. is looking to introduce the digital tax your pain lawmakers say such firms should subsidize economies crippled by lockdowns 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 to raising rates for big corporations. i think you seen it already we have a history here in the united states of taxing monopolies and 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 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 poll found that a majority of british state health service doctors are considering quitting over

the government's handling of the pandemic but the president of the u.k. doctors association says that it is have been building for a long time i think you have serum and is that are and it's just colleagues have been feeling and how in broken down the shore many years now prior to them hams amec this is a profession who have suffered through some of the west crisis crises in history with intellectual arse including absolutely ruinous junior doctor contracts changes to our training that mean doctors need every 6 months to rehear around hospitals around the a and indeed the pensions tatts crisis which has forced many of our most senior an experience that experience starts these interests aren't all of this was prior to us going into the and national concepts. over $1700.00 doctors took part in the survey 2 hours or 3 say they're now more likely to leave the national health

service to support treatment from the government during the covert response most plan to get out within 3 years or poor working conditions were high on the list of complaints the main reason cited for considering quitting were a lack of pay rises and protective equipment while others know that they've been gagged from speaking publicly about their concerns medics also warn that they've had promised benefits revoked and working on the covert front line is also not a major impact on mental health. because you since you haven't made a pandemic and we've had these incredible times where people living dying and struggling was being 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 let alone well it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about if he were surviving on charitable donations and fear that have to stop just because curry that came in just pretty crappy for us we deserve back a profession and a home and

a tax to serve better and that was what today is about and that was really important to me the government insists its 3 percent pay rise it offer is good enough and prime minister barak johnson has pledged more funding faster so infrastructure over the difficult winter period we know that the n.h.s. was very much understaffed and under resourced going into this under american i have no doubt that that impacted on our ability to combat this fire it's we had 10000 vacancies for doctors across the frontlines 100000 vacancies for a front line and it's our stuff including nurses so we were we were already struggling with our workforce now or if so many doctors leave and we have to remember this was a survey of just 1700 doctors with 2 thirds of them saying actually they were making plans to leave so who knows how how big that number truly is but this this

really is a worry and i think it is even more of a worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd search may be coming within the u.k. so what we're asking is that the government considers the hard work of those troops within the n.h.s. that this show them how much they're valued 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. . wildfires are continuing to wreak havoc in parts of california but the state currently enduring a record heat wave a district have now declared states of emergency as they battle the crisis.

us clashes over racial injustice that being increasingly used by both presidential campaigns but was playing out in the streets reminding some of the old school cia style tactics donald koch explains back in 2019 few could have even imagined that the run up to the presidential election would look like this. at 1st glance these protests might resemble scenes of random political violence but take a closer look and they seem like something right out of the cia playbook drill

a war phase the centrally a political war more specifically the cia's psychological operations in guerrilla warfare manual it was written back in the 1980 s. to help anti communist fighters in nicaragua called contras their goal to overthrow president daniel ortega as pro soviet government and the cia recommended tactic on how to do it was to achieve a psychological victory through guerrilla warfare take a look at the slugging match is going on between the trump and biden camps and you get a similar picture. it is happening under donald trump's watch we are not safe and downall promised america the hard truth is. you won't be safe you joe biden.

and what does the cia say such stunts will accomplish. propaganda improves the behavior of the population towards its author and it's not achieved by force this means that unarmed guerilla units in a rural town will not give the impression that its weapons are a force that they hold over the peasants but rather that they are the strength of the peasants against the repressive government basically people don't usually mind if the armed guerrillas are on their side which could suggest we'll keep seeing streets of rage for some time we have the one side. that. whole b.l.m. acid from maybe some other groups in there through their you thing with the means to put down the police and say bashers that are rape. and if you would in that direction on the other side supporters are looking at the unrest the violence the during the burned out of the building

and home. and destruction you thing this is a means to control and manipulate people. to get people on their side i think if you change both sides both sides are are are used i think it's creating more division more unrest unfortunately we don't have a real 3rd party to vote for and i think it going to go on till the election unfortunately it may continue after the election. thanks for joining us they are not the international would. seem wrong. to shape

our. trail. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids oids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer soon is to blame patients doctors manufacturers the government.

and 2016 millions of europeans are taking to the streets while the union has refused to sign the free trade agreement with canada triggering a crisis across europe. that. i am not at the treaty negotiations brought to light a largely unknown organization international arbitration type generals that allow multinationals to sue states. philip morris is trying to use i.s.t.'s to stop oracle from implementing new

tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates of french company sued egypt because egypt raise its minimum wage astonishingly these arbitration tribunals can oblige states to pay huge compensation $50000000000.00 by or stand. it's this is the largest award ever to total amount of damages claimed is about 4700000000 if you didn't know it's no surprise the trials are held behind closed doors everything takes place in utmost secrecy. arbitration are secret i mean that's that's the purpose of an arbitration if you don't want to. clear it as this just does come from who organizes it and who defends us. after all in the end

it's we the taxpayers who pay the.
