countries deny the allegation. they live on worldwide with headline news 247 this is r.t. international one calling broke the big stories and reaction that we're across here in the moscow newsroom 1st within the past couple of hours the german parliament wraps up a session dedicated to the alleged poisoning of. the russian opposition activist has been in hospital in berlin for almost 3 weeks and recently emerged from a coma and several german politicians are calling for action to be taken against moscow let's get a handle on this now with our europe correspondent peter oliver. take us through what happened in the bundestag this friday. fiery debate in the bundestag in this special session on friday evening the majority of german lawmakers pointing a finger of blame at russia for what they say was an alleged poisoning of alexei.

there was some voices in the chamber questioning the german government's version of events but there were many. and. if the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection from our security services political murder is part of the putin system. so not only are the russians supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let no one fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia it's absurd. while the old stream to gas pipeline was a major point of discussion in the underside debate on friday night german politicians seem to split into 3 camps those that want to see the project stopped

all halted or cut off altogether those that want to wait and see how russia reacts to the allegations made against it and those who say that it's an economic project and should be tied to anything else that goes on in the stream to pipeline should continue ahead as planned taking russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany it's certainly though is a lot topic a heated debate here among politicians and among the people. north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued it is by the war in syria just by the use of a chemical weapon in souls bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate protection security policy and human rights. demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream too is in my view or has to be misguided reaction but it

pleases those who have always opposed the project especially the greens. well as germany continues to push russia for answers over what happened to alexei navalny the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said russia was still waiting on the information that it needed from germany. it's the use of your money the german representative to the u.n. said the data is no longer a matter of my last will 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 urged them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights when absolutely unfounded accusations. well vested gaiters who are being carrying out a probe in russia are also looking for more information police in the city of tom

square alexei navalny had been before he made that flight that was supposed to take him back to moscow and had to make an emergency landing in the city of of established a timeline of what happened in the lead up to election of ali taking ill they have missed in the valley at a hotel at a flat at a restaurant and at a coffee shop they're also saying that they've interviewed 5 of the 6 people they know alexian of ali to have been in contact with that final person is still there well their whereabouts that final person is still unknown and police are seeking her out. after. the marine appear after one of those who was with me in permanently resides in the united kingdom on august 20 refused to give explanations according to the investigation on august 22nd of this year she flew to germany so it was not possible to get an explanation from her her location is currently being in stablished. well there are lots of facts that is still to be

on covered in the case of what happened to alexei navalny while investigators are looking for those facts well the diplomatic around between russia and germany certainly seems to be heating up. and it's a lot to come though you give a little look at things where you are in poland for the other peter of a thank you. meantime berlin our moscow both demanding answers germany says it's passed on all its information on the election about the case to the global chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the o.p.c. w says nothing's been received yet meanwhile russia's envoy to the un has responded to western calls for a full investigation of the zulu incident cannot but raise questions well some bold claim being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in will these leaders leads us to an unavoidable reply nicol

question legions borst in search situations we've won you trace it erk we produced who is to benefit from this the one that one if you demand explanations will deflect from the table and we'll compare notes one should with the last elite geishas uncorroborated by evidence even this is as you see beyond a reasonable or stay with order of who might stand to gain from the diplomatic crisis political analyst john laughlin believes the north stream to pipeline provides an answer. it's immediately been joined with the north stream 2 gas pipeline project the germans who previously the german political class has previously supported the completion of the gas pipeline very strongly not least because germany doesn't have any other energy source and no major cracks are appearing in what was a consensus so the fact that the stream to gas pipeline has been immediately put into the equation into what should be

a private police investigation shows who would benefit the answer is the american exporters of liquid natural gas and all those in europe who are determined and have been for many years and decades to drive a wedge between europe and russia the north stream to gas pipeline is not just a symbol although it's a very powerful one it is also a reality of bridging the divide between russia and europe and that is what the russian people in europe and in the united states do not want and that's why then a valley business is being immediately joined with north stream to. be a partial easing of coronavirus restrictions in france the prime minister there says the isolation time for people who test positive will be reduced from 14 to 7 days as despite a new spike in cases with a record 10000 recorded on thursday alone. the reports next 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 but people can get tested for cope with 19 so much so you get 20 new testing centers for the virus to open here in the paris region but the clamor for testing has caused other problems testing centers are apparently struggling to deal with the volume of people wanting to find out if they happen. there are delays in getting access to the board trees in queues at testing centers in paris and elsewhere right now it's taking an average of 3 and a half days to get tested the french health minister hitting on quite a crucial point to kill 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 they'll 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 or wait for hours and centrally on standing under the hot sun i tried the 2nd option but with a 39 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 the 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. actually vaccination local authorities are going to test. for a test on the flip side some. thing the volume of test taking place in countries like france even though 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 67000000 people and also what they are doing it personally so there's no logic there's no strategy and that's not good but if the abortion result already

under the cosh wouldn't 10 times the number of tests cause even more of a headache there is a way around this rapid testing delivered in that than half an hour which is available at some pharmacies for a fee problem is these new tests the scene is being less reliable leaving some even more confused about what to do than ever so much even ski r.t. paris. microsoft is accusing russia china iran of trying to meddle in the upcoming us presidential election a report from the tech giant says the both the trump biden campaigns have been subjected to unsuccessful cyber attacks from those countries all 3 of repeatedly denied any such interference as the story. now the report from microsoft accuses russia china and iran of somehow interfering in the us elections via alleged computer hacks that are said to have taken place all 3 countries have emphasized

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 hurts 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 here this is what was said by the d.h.s.s. we are aware that microsoft to detected attempts to compromise email 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 0 truth was offered to back up these allegations from microsoft

if you wish me a very very difficult and the americans have been very careful in the leg and what we actually do know to leave e.u. richness in position. if you've ever suspected amazon's alexa voice assisted of listening into your conversations edward snowden says you are perhaps right to be worried the n.s.a. whistleblower spoke out on wednesday after his former spy boss keith alexander was appointed to amazon's 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 websites 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 kovalchuk says amazon wants his knowledge on how to influence people's voting decisions although we should stress that these are his own opinions and amazon strenuously denies claims of snooping
