plus lou should really try. moscow and berlin trade accusations over the alleged poisoning of opposition activists are next in the only as russia's u.n. envoy asked who stands to benefit from the fallout. the school uses them with raised questions. both the speech. also this hour 10 e.u. states agreed to take an unaccompanied children from a refugee camp in greece which has been destroyed by a fire most of them will be hosted by germany. and france reports almost 10000 coronavirus cases in a single day the highest figure so far as testing center struggle to cope with demand.

this is our teams or national bring you your live news update this hour straight from the russian capital welcome to the program. russia's foreign minister has urged germany to provide whatever information it has on the alleged poisoning of onyx in the mali the russian opposition activist has been in the hospital in berlin for almost 3 weeks and recently emerged from a coma and some veil of stress that berlin has an obligation to hand over data on the case. but still you to go minute video on top of the german representative to the u.n. said the data is no longer a matter for bilateral relations between germany and russia but a matter for multilateral proceedings what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say in the interests of our german colleagues we urge them to provide all necessary information which might in any way shed light on the absolutely unfounded accusations. and moscow are both demanding answers germany

says it's passed on all its information on the net on the case to the global chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the episode says nothing's been received yet in all russia's envoy to the un has responded to western calls for a full investigation these coleen says and cannot but raise questions well some poultry being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in what these leaders leads us to learn the world will review article question legion lost in search situations we've won you trace it erk we progress who used to benefit from this the one that one if you don't mind the explanations will deflect from the table and we'll compare notes one should with the rest elite geishas uncorroborated by evidence even this is as you see me your reasonable. the only fell sick on

a flight to moscow last month his plane made an emergency landing in siberia where he was initially treated doctors there attributed his illness to a metabolic disorder that only was eventually airlifted to berlin for treatment there or germany announced that he had been poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from the group and doctors now say the opposition figures condition is improving and he's responding to speech meanwhile senior politicians and berlin are piling pressure on the government to pull out of the north stream to project over the novelli case the major gas pipeline connecting russia to germany is due to be ready by the end of the year and the head of the german parliament's energy committee believes that a banning it now would be a disaster. north stream to is not putin's project it involves a large number of european companies and it's designed to ensure the security if europe's gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the foot

it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the german government and of course it will affect gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against international law and we don't accept it i can see that many people who might not have fully understood the story thinking now will show them but i think it's completely wrong 1st of all we need to establish what really happened because i don't think germany knows i think we should respond appropriately to the russians request for legal assistance we obviously received such a request but according to the russians it is so far gone unanswered. right after germany's announcement last week that not only had been poisoned with no a choke berlin reached out to nato calling for

a joint response and the government has since faced questions over why there was any need to involve the transatlantic military alliance. but 1st. how does this all apply to nato is maybe we should address this question their motivation to need to itself we have always sad that as a violation of the convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons this keys concerns all the e.u. and nato as well. all over georgia had to be brought in and was brought in for the sake of making this international issue a good naturedly issue but i keep it. under standing changes to the to understanding of the possible cynical motivations of chancellor merkel because it puts the whole context of. the 1st political dynamics in france and germany and between germany the baltic states poland

and there were. all of these issues on obese piece the central country is russia. 10 in new countries have agreed to take in around 400 child refugees who are left without shelter and there can't burn down on the greek island of lesbos a cell they hold around 13000 migrants and greece is saying the adults will have to remain on the island meanwhile locals are saying they do not want the camp to be rebuilt they've used trucks to block the roads leading to the site and are trying to prevent former camp residents from reaching the island's capital rights groups say they've been prevented from delivering aid to the migrants as well we are all over has more on the situation. left without shelter described as a humanitarian disaster by politicians when it comes to who is responsible for the fire at the morea refugee camp the greek government is blaming the refugees option

for looks and woman and gets everything points to the fact that the fire was started as a result of the dissatisfaction of some guests of the morea center due to the necessary isolation. however those who have been watching the situation on less forced tyria rate say it encapsulates the failure of the migration policy. the european idea has gone up in flames european values of a community of solidarity standing for peace and human rights and meant to fight against national agha tism racism and hatred of others the blaze in moria has focused the attention of a year leaders back home to the plight of migrants stranded on the greek islands with many pledging to help asons which is sent ships of its own so how does the displaced top priority has to be immediate and collective. shares to provide shelter to those who need it and then to restore as soon as possible public

order in the island that is. now contacts with e.u. member states have led him countries participating in the transfer of unaccompanied minors most of these 400 miners will be taken in by germany and france. people in moria need help immediately the german civil protection service is travelling to greece the 1st delivery with aid will include tents and can baths to attend to the neediest the foreign ministries initially allocating 3000000 euro talk of solidarity is all well and good but it's the same message we've heard since 2050 it's time to say some for action. stop looking the other way the lives of 13000 people are in danger due to the fire that destroyed the refugee camp in moria the e.u. must act now to relocate people that need protection let's put into practice the solidarity that we preach here in germany there's been

a chorus of voices calling for more help for the thousands of people seemingly abandoned in the camps. by me. and. there have been attempts to make the situation better cash is being thrown at the problem and also has to take some migrants to all the member states in the e.u. being welcomed but it's not enough to make a real difference so the e.u. states want to see an overhaul of the system to make it mandatory that those seeking asylum in the e.u. be shared among e.u. nations however that's face stiff opposition from poland and hungary the world and to tame the idea the focus of attention is back on asylum applicants and the

contradictions in which they live because of this fire in moria whether docked attention turns into genuine action all only goes as far as calls for solidarity that's down to e.u. leaders all over r.t. . we heard from the global migration and displacement lead at the red cross she said the e.u. needs to step in to avert a humanitarian crisis. we've been calling on all of that. including of course that you use your members to pour a. solution to what is. a problem that has been going on for a long ask you. to do. comedy. as much as possible.

and what we would like to. remember things from the e.u. . or to the greek authorities. it's more an opportunity for a relocation. the french prime minister has announced a partial easing of coronavirus restrictions in the country there solution time for people who test positive is being reduced from 14 to 7 days despite a new spike in cases with a record 10000 recorded on thursday charlotte devinsky reports from paris. i mean the scramble to get ahead of the curve the french government promised 1000000 tests would take place weekly by september and by hook or by crook it has succeeded in doing just that this is just one facility where people can get tested for coping 19 so much so you get 20 new testing centers for the virus to open here in the paris

region but the clamor for covert testing has caused other problems testing centers are apparently struggling to deal with the volume of people wanting to find out if they happen it. you know exists in the boardrooms and choose it as in paris and elsewhere right now as to you average of 3 days to get tested the french health minister hitting on quite a crucial point here. who is like this which are not uncommon could contain some people who are infected and indeed contagious the person the symptoms and who may have been in contact with an infected individual has to be tested urgently they must not be turned away from a laboratory because there is no the ability we have to work amounts because it's not acceptable to options today to get tested wait 7 days for an appointment in a lab wait for hours and centrally on standing under the hot sun i tried the 2nd

option but with a $39.00 degree fever i did not last long i called the labs of raw no places for 7 days plus 5 days to get the results or wait in line for 2 hours while sick and with no energy question is a test still relevant if done 7 days after symptoms start while standing in a queue for hours may be frustrating what's perhaps frustrating people even more are the delays in getting their results people are threatening to sue us because they missed their plane because of the delays in the tests we work like crazy and everyone is unhappy delays could also mean that even if you tested negative for 19 while waiting for the result you could have contracted it but this is not just a problem here in france across the english channel they are also struggling the health minister there though has pointed the finger of blame on people who are

symptomatic. unless you've been. by local authorities going to test you not eligible for a test on the flip side some are suggesting the volume of test taking place in countries like france even more than a 1000000 a week still isn't enough they are doing $1000000.00 per week that's not so much for a country of sixty's. a 1000000 people and old school there do you have personally so there's no logic there's no strategy and that's not good but if the abortion results already under the coach wouldn't 10 times the number of tests cause even the mood of headache there is a way around this though rapid testing delivered in that than half an hour which is available at some pharmacies for a fee problem is these new tests a seeing is being less reliable leaving some even more confused about what to do

than show that you can ski auty paris. the united states has confirmed it will be imposing sanctions on belorussian officials in the coming days for alleged election fraud and violence against protesters the state department said the measures will run in parallel with the e.u. sanctions announced earlier meanwhile the way media is urging world powers to recognize the opposition candidate in last month's belorussian election as the rightful president. the lithuanian parliament calls on the international community to support the demand from straight line a 2nd of ska the leader elected by the belorussian people and from the coordination council established at her invitation as the only legitimate representatives of the belorussian people for holding new transparent and democratic presidential and parliamentary elections we call on the international community to consider any domestic or foreign policy action by the illegitimate leader of billy reese

alexander lukashenko aimed at legitimizing his power and conclude a new agreements with russia which restrict the sovereignty of the belarusian people to be a crime against his people. lithuania is the 1st country to recognize that monitor as leader of belarus she fled to lithuania after the election and has since posted several videos urging the international community to help force the question go out and enable new elections to be held in that country the e.u. foreign policy chief earlier compare the situation to venezuela where nicolas maduro continues to hold power despite a lack of recognition of from the west. we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize nicolas maduro from this point of view. incurring exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing their democratic legitimacy.

mass rallies broke out against the question to go in belarus right after the election on august the 9th and are still ongoing after 26 years in power alexander lukashenko won a 6th term in a landslide result. supporters claim the ballot was rigged and they're demanding a new election although initially marred by clashes and police brutality the demonstrations are now largely peaceful arrests continue. across live now to martin mccully political analyst for more on this story we just mentioned that the u.s. is now drawing up sanctions against spell of russian officials that look is already under plenty of international pressure how are these going to change anything. i think one look at shankar point of view he expected the e.u. and the americans to impose sanctions so it's not news to him and he's saying i'm staying i'm not going anywhere because i regard myself as a legitimate president. the americans will presumably

identify some of the officials involved in what they regard as vote rigging and also in the security services those who have used violence against protesters read my neck is asians of torture and so on so they will try and i did of i said an individual and basically leave it at that because mike pompei you and the security state has said he supports the russian people and it's up to them to decide not to our psychology does take russia poland there was an outside power can decide and help the people of the other groups to the side and the americans had to be very careful not to do anything which will in taking our eyes people and be a ruse and push them towards moscow because the americans would like the present situation to continue we're going to roast if you like seated so as a gateway or how white house between moscow and the west they would like that to

continue but the president to asia is very very difficult and the americans have to be very careful in the leg was a use and what they actually do and also the e.u. which in the same position is ok for latina to make statements like that and so on but if he cannot discuss switzerland it is not fair then comes out with a cruel western view. identified as pro western what untag night many people in the rooms and that's not what the americans and the new oh in but in the west once they want a peaceful resolution to this. in this country and when you show your most acute to the deep rooted that will be another stage and another important in this a long good long drawn out saga which president remains peaceful and one who will remain peaceful what do you make of the timing here as you were mentioning there's

these allegations of torturing the protesters that crackdown of the election fraud all of that but the election was now over a month ago why is it taken so much time for the u.s. to react or is bellerose just not that important at the moment of. biller rouge is not all that important to the united states but of course they're americans nowadays and much more careful about. aggressive language except to reach out into. another country or russia they're going to care for they're not. intervention friendly as a used to be and they've learned a few lessons that if you go blundering in and make statements you can talk about people and you can in fact make the situation worse so they have been very careful they've sat back looked at it and said what is likely to be the outcome of this because you don't want to take the wrong side so therefore you say right you just

go to reason people and you took the speech with the delusion will continue and that look at genco when in fact listen to them enter into dialogue because what they want is look at some kind of forum if you think back to poland in 180 and so don i wish they had a leader left then stuff they're going to rosen's new leader this new leader inside that building who has has this charisma the charisma of lancer and what the polish did $180.00 which was for dialogue 1st of all they wanted free trade unions they said we accepted the communist cannot be removed from power and the demonstrators they can say well look at shaker he's in power he has a support of. your distortions we counted the posters we need like a demo we would like to enter into dialogue with him and look forward to. the tree of trade unions and things of that sense which don't challenge him

directly they must not in fact attempt to overthrow them which every once you remove you and if you if you don't know if you don't respond to us we will work for you not to let the wrong type of language copy code and i took the pose 9 years until 89 he didn't. no duty free to go and your movie. but delusions you remember that minute group delusion you were going to i'm going to go to roost she lives low they're well aware of the experience and they will be careful not to tell you no not to provoke they look at the security flaws in the new circumstances must they threaten or destroy any ground against them because that would be blonde in the result in the security forces. very very severely political analyst martin mccauley thank you for finding the time to join

us on the program today thank you. if you've ever suspected your amazon alexa of listening into your conversations edward snowden says you're right to be worried the n.s.a. whistleblower spoke out on wednesday after his former spy boss keith alexander was appointed to the amazon board of directors it turns out hey alexy is short for hey keith alexander yes the keith alexander personally responsible for the unlawful mass surveillance programs the caused global scandal and amazon web services has 6 percent of all web sites alexander was n.s.a. director in 2013 when snowden leaked thousands of documents exposing the agency's mass surveillance practices human rights lawyer dan kadlec says amazon want his knowledge on how to influence people's voting decisions we should stress that these are his own opinions and amazon has denied claims of snooping via its home assistant devices. i would assume they picked him for his expertise and that is his

ability to gather. intelligence from people in this case presumably through you know amazon's. mechanism you know it's a last box if you have one of those alexa devices in your house that it came in and listen into conversations with them based on those conversations devise what types of products it believes you want and you'll receive advertising for those products maybe amazon wants to gather information on people's 'd political inclinations and what could move them to vote in a certain way sure sadly i don't see it provoking outrage amongst most people again i think most people in america are used to the idea that they're being spied on in

different ways i think they're used to it and not particularly upset or rich which is troubling but that is my sense of things. microsoft has accused russia china and iran of trying to meddle in the upcoming u.s. presidential election the tech giant released a report saying the trump and biden campaigns have been subjected to cyber attacks from those countries all 3 have repeatedly denied any such interference and we can cross live to our been in new york for more on this caleb tell us more about this claim coming from microsoft. indeed now the microsoft report uses russia china and iran of attempting to interfere in the us elections computer hacking now all 3 countries have made clear that these allegations are false furthermore russia has actually emphasized that they have offered to cooperate with the united states in order to ensure cyber security and stop these kind of hacks from taking place

take a listen but got caught up in the myth of luggage in the us on numerous occasions we propose the americans different ways of handling these unfounded assertions of the american civil she has to work with us on these proposals but continue to just to end illegal interference in their internal affairs or those are going to move without him and that we don't have any interest in interfering in the united states elections microsoft should make such beast with accuse ations and direct china into this. now this has not stopped us media from were running wild with these allegations take a listen to that the election we're getting closer with hackers who were eyeing harder now escalating their attacks tied to the presidential race according to a new warning from microsoft so here we go again right except this time we're not blindsided those hacks are believed to come from overseas russia china and iran it's not surprising because we've had intelligence briefings and this kind of thing

is probably happening. now microsoft did not say how these quote unsuccessful attacks were intended to actually hurt the u.s. electoral process no information was really given about what these hacks would have done if they had somehow succeeded however the u.s. department of homeland security has given a couple hints this is what was said by the d.h.s.s. . we are aware that microsoft detected attempts to compromise e-mail accounts of people and organizations associated with the upcoming election none are involved in maintaining or operating voting infrastructure and there was no identified impact on election systems now 0 truth was offered to back up these allegations from microsoft and furthermore it is confirmed even by their own report that these alleged hacks have had 0 impact on the elections so far

are to scale up and then get for bringing us that report. 10 people have died and hundreds are wounded after riots across colombia over a police killing in the capital footage has emerged of a 46 year old man being tasered multiple times by officers following the incident his family claimed he was further assaulted at a police station a man died at a medical facility soon afterwards the officers who detain the victim have been suspended police say the man was arrested for violating social distancing rules. the death toll from the unprecedented wildfires on the west coast of the us has reportedly risen to 15 dozens more are still missing and hundreds of homes have been destroyed firefighters from around the country have been called in to help more than 4000000 acres of land have now been torched and present trumps approved an emergency disaster declaration for organ the states of washington and california
