when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hip pocket western claims to be allowed to poisoning of opposition figurehead aleksei to follow me as russia continues to insist on cooperation with the left to get the best. part is the limits of decency we seem to know it's money that we can say given that on the 27th we sent a request for legal assistance from the russian general prosecutor's office and still there is no one said a lot of this region called for in tunnel talk to us to end the post-election on during a meeting in thought she would present because franco. we so those who we want to build the russians to handle their situation without any external assistance or pressure. on the u.k.

fine on gatherings of 6 or more comes in 12 facts to slow the spread of coronavirus but just before the rule took hold pubs clubs and streets were just not with regular. rate is don't tell a dog people to go oh no i don't be like no you can't do that except. 247 live from the russian capital this is our national flag you could join us as we take a look what's happening around the wild well let's start with russia's foreign minister has said moscow has no need to open a criminal probe and say no case to 20 not a complete lot of dates a job many also responded to threats of new sanctions so if the election poisoning of the opposition. yeah but no one if there was no nevada only they would have come

up with another reason to impose additional sanctions our western partners have gone beyond all limits of decency in reasoning in fact they are now demanding that we confess it's such a mysterious story given that on the 27th of august we sent a request for legal assistance from the russian general prosecutor's office and still there is no wants we don't have legal grounds for launching a criminal case yet and that is why we are asked for legal assistance from the german side so at least the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin is intensifying russian prosecutors have said they've sent a 2nd request for legal assistance to berlin they're looking for explanations from doctors who've been involved with the treatment of alexina found information and copies of documents they've sent the 2nd request because their 1st request has gone unheeded according to the russian side they sent out over 2 weeks ago what we have heard though regarding the competition of alexei in the family his his health

prognosis is that he has improved the shot at a hospital here in berlin where he's being treated has said that he's now able to leave his bed for a short period of time because of the russian foreign minister has been giving an interview on russian t.v. in which he talked extensively about this case we heard him just a few moments ago giving one point he also said that western partners had cast doubt over the professionalism and skill of russian medical professionals who 1st came to the aid of the lexan of ali. some of our western colleagues route in the valley was saved by a miracle you know allegedly it was this new tourist numbers check with a russian citizen managed to survive thanks to a happy coincidence what is this happening. so the impeccable work for pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence they don't even admit that we acted in a proper way the western partners look at us with the arrogance because we dare to doubt the correctness of our friends. that's why the dow the professionals move are

doctors and investigators using nuclear weapons to well miss the lever of hard being set to make a trip to berlin on the 15th of september that is canceled in the wake of this ongoing dispute over the election of ali and what happened to him the german government were giving their side of vents on monday we heard from stephens i bet the government's official spokesperson saying that the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o.p.c. w. based in the hague that started their process of verifying germany's claims that novacek a nerve agent it being used to poison alexina valmy is desired but went on to say that those findings that being backed up by 2 separate laboratories one in sweden and one in france. board's recent france and sweden have carried out their investigations and confirmed the german evidence that means we now have 3 laborious reads working independently from each other which of all reached the conclusion

that the substance that caused the poisoning of mr know miley was a nerve agent from the not betrayal group. russian president vladimir putin and his french counterpart emmanuel micron held a phone conversation to talk about the ongoing alexei navalny case in not conversation the russian president said that unfounded claims against russia were inappropriate and that the information that dated the evidence that russia requested must be shared with moscow also he said that russian doctors and experts have to be part of a joint investigation into what happened to mr novelli something they've been excluded from so far on cheese day there is a session of the european parliament where the e.u. response to germany's claims that alexei navalny was poisoned will be discussed sanctions have been talked about as a potential outcome from that parliamentary session however rushed. should sign

should be placed on them over this that there would be a response meanwhile russian vestiges have been interviewing people who came into contact with unexplainable me just before he fell sick police say they want to speak to 6 people and managed to reach 5 of them but the 6 apparently fled to germany and correspondent raised this issue at a government news conference embolism. the russian foreign ministry said the regarding the incident with novotny they were able to interview all the people accompany him except for one the 6th marine a pitcher who avoided giving evidence by flying to germany which she went on her own not with novotny does the federal government knows that marina picture is in germany and how do you view her decision to avoid being interviewed by the russian investigators. here in mind that's i cannot tell you anything about this we must not forget that there was a murder attempt against mr involving with the use of

a poisonous substance but i can't tell you anything about the location of an individual just as you know a focus off of. the 6 the russian investigators did interview the people accompanying the scene of only despite claims that they are not investigating 5 out of 6 of them assisted in the investigation and one avoided questioning and fled to germany that shouldn't germany say yes we know marina is in germany and assess why this person actively avoided questioning after all the other 5 allowed themselves to be questioned and the question to the interior ministry at the moment it is not easy for russian citizens to simply fly to germany was there any special permission that allowed. to enter germany. you know pm look it's just a chance to come in and i am not familiar with this case and i will not speak about it that is an absolute bombshell revelation that this mysterious 6 person

miss patch is apparently in europe in germany possibly right now and that even though it is virtually very difficult virtually impossible without certain measures to enter germany right now because of that 19. russian citizen without a visa. she apparently had no probable and we're hearing some reports that she actually flew on the same plane that transported mr nonviolently back to berlin so this is a very interesting revelation that is coming out as a result of the luminary investigation that russian prosecutors are doing and we suddenly have to look into this case and of course if she is sure in germany then it is the responsibility of the german government as the state of you know that

international respectful of international law to provide russian prosecutors with full access to her. russia's president has called for internal dialogue and valorous to end the ongoing crisis for a lot of my peers and held 4 hours of talks at the present alexander lukashenko in the black sea resort of sought team and agreement was made for a contingent of russian soldiers to pull back from the border with better us and those forces were that because requests to prepare for a potential collapse of law and order which thankfully did not happen artie's discussed the meeting earlier with my colleague. so tell us more about what's been said so far before this trip to tsotsi the official line from both sides was that the 2 leaders were about to meet to discuss cooperation but after more than a month of mass protests and the republic of belarus the obvious assumption was

that alexander lukashenko was heading to tsotsi to seek support from his elder brother that's what he literally called vladimir putin a few weeks ago well we can at least say that the actual fact that alexander lukashenko was received by president putin as the head of the bell russian state and that they were discussing minsk moscow ties in the future is some kind of support clearly in the form of a confidence boost however unlike some of the scenarios predicted by the western media in the buildup to this the head of the russian government didn't say a thing about specifically providing some kind of help to end the protests in belo reuss by the way when early in the morning i was reading some of the forecasts for the summit by western media outlets i came across theories in which even the word addicks ation was used some were saying that the kremlin could use this meeting to

even topple alexander look as schenkel or use the current weakness of the bell russian president to reach its own goals in belarus however contrast to that president vladimir putin made it clear when he was speaking just ahead of the meeting that moscow does not accept any outside interference especially from the west. we want to build the russians to handle their situation without any external assistance or pressure and co manner through dialogue with each other and come to a joint decision on how to move forward despite this we did hear from the bellary. russian leader that he does want to bring this issue to an international level but only if it comes to moving on to some of the integration blocks which bell routes as part of for example the eurasian customs union or the so-called agreement on collective security these are some of the blogs that are made part of post

soviet republics with the movement we will talk about what's happening in belarus and meetings of the aeration economic community and collective security treaty organization and there are also things that's what about within the commonwealth of independent states now despite mr lucas sankoh being able to avoid the worst case scenario for him a complete nationwide strike and a full scale revolution protesters keep gathering in various cities across bellary every week and sunday saw massive marches all across the country and which hundreds of people were detained. here but.

if you take a step back how are the overall relations between valorous and russia well we do have to put all of this and context and used to go without saying that minsk is a top ally for moscow we remember that after the fall of the soviet union a number of agreements were signed between moscow and meant to form a so-called union state and moscow for all these years has been supporting deeper integration deeper ties however when it comes to president alexander look at banco judging by his rhetoric before the election in august. especially we were able to understand that he's unhappy with how it was going in many ways and at some point he even called some russian official traitors but it seems now that he's seeking the russian government's support everything is going back on track and one of the latest steps that moscow made towards minsk was that it and now it's

a $1500000000.00 loan for bella ruse while sitting right next to his bell russian counterpart the russian leader made it clear that moscow will remain committed to all 'd its agreements and promises. russia remains committed to all our agreements including those that arise from the treaty on the union speech and the collective security treaty that you know we see below. of course fulfill who are responsible limits western countries have kept a close eye on what's happening and belarus what kind of reaction have we been thing to the crisis from them there are closest neighbors like poland to the waning a lobby and a stone up that have made some aggressive statements against mr lucas shan't go in fact lithuania went as far as to recognize with the take on the whole scope of change goes wyvil in that vote as the legitimate leader of bella ruse but so far we

have not seen any joint action by the european union but on monday we heard from german diplomats that they're looking forward to some kind of set of sanctions jointly agreed on by the european union they want this to be announced within the next few days and that set of measures according to german officials should be against the people responsible for what they are calling election fraud and also repression still had on the president punching like that as no tomorrow as the papering that have been gathering. more than hop a dozen people and respond to such a case that in fact the crown of how you point out the oppositional breaker.

let's have stateside way yet another fatal police shooting has sparked street riots the incident happened this time in the state of pennsylvania several but. in the city of 9 pasta police fired tear gas off to the crowd refused to spazz separate arrests were made as well their forty's have condemned the protesters describing their behavior as violent rioting meanwhile police have raised body count video of sunday's shooting a warning you may find the following images to stopping a man armed with a knife can be seen chasing a police officer down a sidewalk before being shot dead he was made to identify just 27 year olds were caught in the us police say they had responded to a domestic to stop a school has been placed on administrative leave and local authorities have issued a call for calm at those involved shooting has significant impact on

a community as we have seen with a large number of individuals gathering in the streets however i'm asking that all reaction be tempered as the investigation is on go when. law enforcement trade up but see brought in a smith believes the police officer and volta not she can pennsylvania was entirely justified in using lethal force the dangerous young man and his family called the police said he was out of control police got there and he immediately starts chasing a police officer with that knife the officer is not only rightful to use deadly force but frankly obligated we are not suicidal police officers here in the united states we see that when the body cam comes out of the investigation is completed generally speaking the officers were right this is in their use of force but we have anti fire and black lives matter here in the united states that are sending people immediately to these hot bed areas to engage in writing it's in any

extremely difficult atmosphere for police in the united states right now no matter what we do even if we act completely lawfully like in this situation you're going to see riots and you're going to see violence and we're going to be told that we're killers of people of color if frankly it's childish it's ridiculous and i believe the american people are getting tired of it you know pennsylvania is a key state in our upcoming presidential election and i don't think this is going to be helpful for the democrats. in the relations between a stranger on china who are taking the town for the wass congress has defended its right to carry out intelligence related weights not soft to beijing last time out what it called bob barrick such as of the homes of its john lists. over. australia claimed that the questioning of chinese journalists was in accordance with normal procedures to

a political leverage and i think actually in the recent years australia has being the interests off washington rather than its own national interests whenever it washington and she starts a kind of blood and it kind of can bring or similar campaigns against russia or euros see a kind of like ethical income brought to the support of the us system points is merely i think actually only serves the needs of the united states. and finally it's never too late to run a tally a man has graduated from university at the ripe old age of 96 offending a lifelong dream he told us about his journey. that after working i retired and said what do i do now i didn't like doing nothing so i started studying.
