no fundamental value there's nothing there it's just it's a murmur ation like starlings in the sky they congregate and then they disperse. java nor make us clash over the countries response be allowed poisoning of russian opposition aka the salix a devolving put some point in a big moscow how to fire a debate from the but. why does no need such a level of protection most intrusive political motive is part of the putin system why would the russian government be so stupid that even left no money flying out to drew money instead of hiding him in russia from the cold almost 10000 create a virus cases in a single day the highest. testing sent to struggle to cope with bitter mob. and microsoft accuses russia china and iran of trying to imagine the us elections for cyber attacks on the trump. campaigns all 3 countries denied the allocation.

hello and welcome from the whole team here at all th to moscow glad you could join us to see what's been happening around the wall well let's start with this one the job of parliament tell'd a session dedicated to the alleged poisoning of alex in a follow me the russian opposition activist has been in hospital in but then for miss 3 weeks on recently. and several job politicians are calling for action to be taken against. our europe correspondent peter all of the eyes across this for us. fiery debate in the in the stack on friday night with the majority of lawmakers pointing a finger of blame firmly at russia and the russian government for what happened to alexis there was some voices questioning the official german government line but

there weren't 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 a security services political murder is part of the putin system. i'm not so not only are the russian suppose to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his t. why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let an avanti fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia it's absurd. the north stream to gas pipeline project was a major factor in the debate the pipeline which would take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany well lawmakers fall into 3 camps when it comes to the multi national multi 1000000000 euro infrastructure project there are those

that say it needs to be halted immediately and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and how this story develops and there are those saying that it's simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have though you see heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany and on friday night in the bundestag. by 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 cells bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals amaury. thank limeade protection security policy and human rights. demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream 2 is in my view or has been misguided reaction but it pleases those who have always opposed the project especially the greens as well as

germany continues to push russia for an explanation for what happened to alexei novelli the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but if the use of your money the german representative to the u.n. said the data is no longer a matter for bilateral relations between germany and russia but amounts 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 should lights on the absolutely unfounded accusations. investigators in russia are of also being on the search for more information police in the city of thompson which is where alexina valmy had been he was flying from tomsk to moscow before his plane had to make an emergency landing in the city of squid the lexan of only in extreme

distress well placed in tom skipping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane they've placements in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with aleck's in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say they've been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr valley they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany more unity after. 6 of marina pitcher 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 aug 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 there are still lots of

facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the valley but as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up germany says it's passed on all its information on the out of taste to the global chemical weapons what stock but russia which is a member of the c.w. says nothing's been received yet meanwhile russia's and void the un has responded to western calls for a full investigation. these are all incident cannot but raise questions well some folk play being staged we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in walked these leaders leads us to an unavoidable reply nicol question legions borst in such situations we want you to trash it erk we produced who is to benefit from this the one that won it if you demand explain the issues with defects on the table and we'll compare notes one issued

with the last elite geishas uncorroborated by evidence even this is as you see the york reasonable man staying with the theme of his sounds today from the diplomatic crisis while political analyst john allen believes the north trying 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 for the not 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 than a valley business is being immediately joined with not stream to. has to be a partial easing of credit viruses texans in france the prime minister says the isolation time for people who test positive will be reduced from $14.00 to $7.00 days that's despite a new spike in cases where the rats were 10000 records on thursday a shot of 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 but 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 there are delays in getting access to the board trees in queues it says 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 or months 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 $39.00 degree fever i did not last long i called the lapse of 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. everyone is unhappy delays could also mean that even if you tested negative for 19 while waiting for the result you could have contract it but this is not just a problem here in france across the english channel they are also struggling the

health minister very though has pointed the finger of blame on people who are symptomatic. unless you. are taxed 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 67000000 people and also all they are doing it for personally so there's no logic there's no strategy and that's not good but if the abortion results 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 less 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 risky r.t. paris. microsoft is accusing russia china and iran of trying to meddle in the upcoming us election a report from the tech giant says both biden campaigns are been subjected to unsuccessful cyber attacks from those countries all 3 have repeatedly denied any such unfair and caleb maupin picks up 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 that these allegations are simply false they are not engaging in cyber hacking to try and hurt the u.s.

elections now russia emphasized that they have actually offered to cooperate with the united states regarding cyber security and the need to stop hacking and other threats to the country this is the response of both russia and china to claims of interference caught up with my goodness 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. without him and we don't have any interest in interfering in the united states elections microsoft should make such baseless accusations and direct china into this this has not stopped us media from we're running wild with these allegations the election we're getting closer with hackers who were in 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 us electoral process no information was really given about what these hacks would have done if they had somehow succeeded this is what was said by the d.h. yes 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 and furthermore it is confirmed even by their own report that these alleged hacks have had 0 impact on the elections so far. 10

will want and you'll receive that for ties and for those products maybe amazon wants to gather information on people's 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 about rich which is troubling but that is my sense of things about how things are looking for everyone here must go back to thing off. in this presidential election cycle both democrats and republicans claim to be tough on china but does that actually. what does the american public really know
