i'm sure. reiterated its call for. a pretext for sanctions. opposition leaders and independent journalists in russia are not see. if there was no they would have come up with the recent. talks penalties against the bella russian president over the recent disputed election. which.

because it's not. really. historic breakthrough the move has met with. international. only 30 minutes of news. start. russia's foreign minister has held a phone call with his german kuntar part to discuss the situation with. only. urge for the issue to be politicised he also once again stated that moscow wants to cooperate on the matter after previous attempts were ignored the foreign ministry

itself issued this statement. any further the asian from satisfying the stated requests will be perceived as a lack of desire on the part of our partners to help establish the truth in the framework of move jet save and comprehensive investigation of what happened when the alleged nerve agent poisoning of the russian opposition figure was high on the agenda of a european parliament session earlier on choose they the vast majority of speakers pointing the finger of blame squarely on russia although no evidence was presented our europe correspondent peter all over picks up the story. the 2 main topics that were brought up were sanctions that would target senior russian officials or 'd 'd the by the pausing or banning altogether stopping altogether the nord stream to gas pipeline project that would take gas directly from russia into germany it's a multinational multi 1000000000 euro project there were some voices though that

said well we really need to wait for an investigation before we take any action but those voices were few and far between let's say. a name president putin refuses to say out loud opposition leaders and independent journalists and russia are not safe it is time to stop putin impunity for cynical of our lives are we up to all of us we need to make a deep review of our search to a sort of democracy russia should be our priority not business as usual of logic seem. to attend all of this of well there are people who tier into russia hold a long before anything has been established there are people calling for new sanctions against russia it's like a kind of nostalgia for the cold war when every tragedy was used to instigate a confrontation. at least 20 countries and organized crime groups have stocks of this nerve agent poisoning is a possibility but one that's far from having been proven beyond doubt many had

a motive and we know little more the next to nothing to worth pointing out the us said by well the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs did say that some of the demands being made by any piece in the chamber were within the remit of the european commission to carry out he said things like cancelling nord stream to that would fall to individual member states taking part now one of those member states is austria and the austrian president alexander vander belen is also been speaking on tuesday he said there is absolutely no reason in his mind why what's happening regarding alexina valmy should have an impact. on the north stream 2 gas pipeline saying the latter was a commercial enterprise and should be conducted as any other business deal from the russian side what they say is they've requested again and again information from germany the evidence that germany says proves a nerve agent was used in fact russia just sent a 2nd request on monday from their prosecutor general's office to the officials

here in berlin asking for information there that's after their initial request went on and he did russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is becoming clearly quite frustrated with western partners who he says it says seemingly have made up their mind already your bill of the moment if there was no nouvelle me they would have come up with another reason to impose additional sanctions our western partners have gone beyond all limits of decency and reasoning in fact been 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 answer 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 on monday next week e.u. foreign ministers will be meeting to discuss this issue further your seat belt did say that the looked as if the situation would have an impact on russia relations

we'll have to see just what type of impact that will be most likely get more answers are not following that foreign ministers meeting taking place next week. well indeed the use foreign policy chief has also proposed sanctions along the lines of the u.s. magnitsky act paper was initially drawn up to punish russian officials who were again by the us for their involvement in the death of russian corruption lawyer surrogate magnitsky who died in pretrial detention it was later expanded to punish people across the world involved in human rights violations now the e.u. is considering a similar one with the volleys name on its head or a sense while letting the volleys condition has improved significantly in recent days he's no longer on the ventilator and can even take short walks away from his hospital bed in berlin is also back in social media this photo of his family was posted earlier with not only saying it felt amazing to breathe on his own in. a

french m.e.p. theory mariani who also took part in the e.u. parliamentary session took a somewhat different view to many of us colleagues. it was a little bit disappointing because i think there was no reason he borer position except 'd me and a few members said ok if there isn't boys in need of mr levy only 1st make a serious investigation to know who is guilty and dunn said don't name of guilty before investigation everybody understand that there is. some. idea between this and this sunshine to stop or to continue the last 3 days through exhibit and not for europe if europe want to be independent there is dissolution it's continued not through to and how the direct relation with russia oath was that this. gets

a loan what would we do it's the only solution for europe we'd be to to buy share of gas from america and i seen the interest of europeans to have the various produce for gas. at the same session in the european parliament also touched on the current situation in belarus the blocs foreign minister stated that the e.u. is preparing sanctions in light of the recent disputed election i mean even consider suspending all relations with minsk wherever the minister got his country's confused. we consider their elections on the night of august fraudulent show. not. the leadership to be president of ukraine shoddy mirror which. what they were thinking about. it comes a day after of lower putin held a meeting with alexander lukashenko in saw you separate claimed it showed moscow's

clear support for the lucas shank with ministration but the russian president warned against any extra low pressure in minsk elements that call for dialogue between the government a lot position. we want to belorussians to handle their situation without any external assistance or pressure in a calm manner through dialogue with each other and come to a joint decision on how to move forward you know that was a meeting between. monday yesterday and it seems from these meeting that should pull through to. continue. a professor of the national institute of languages and eastern civilizations printer of ascii believes belarus is being used as another reason to ramp up tensions with russia. i don't really know what to. do a ukraine and so on they just know these states are buffer state between

russia and the western world and dogs do find old due to basically going to most ways to include tissues and does very hard to make them understand these countries are. countries that should give local in their own das and not to be the lead. international tensions actually it did there is a great day for elation concerning russia because it does the reason why at times use in belarus are so. so observed by by a lot of western people some of them are. belarus cannot be part of western. and nato and they are trying to find some compromise during this crisis but some of them i appreciate great hearing to both

push tension so to. russia difficult and not taking into account whereas the what is the real situation in belarus. number of hours ago a delegation from israel signed peace deals in washington with bahrain on the united arab emirates that prompted a furious reaction from palestine which claims its. a protest occurred in front of the palestinian legislative council headquarters and gals i with several demonstrators carrying signs which read normalising is a trail people stumped. posters of the gulf leaders trump the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for mr trump. a historic breakthrough. this is a truly historic day we hope that this will start an even more historic journey for the middle east and beyond. it was a historic deal and the 1st such deal in over 2 decades but do agreements like this

really help solve the israel palestine conflict that's debatable the trumpet ministration is moving toward a 2 state solution rejecting outright a solution where all residents of the area are granted equal rights under a single state my vision presents a win win opportunity for both it's a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security furthermore were a peace maker and supposed expert negotiator the trumpet ministrations moves have been rather one sided over the course of the last 3 years now the white house has cut aid to palestinians and has also recognized jerusalem as israel's capital furthermore they have given washington's blessing to the expansion of israeli settlements on the palestinian land now at this point we've got the white house touting a peace plan that many of us pretty strongly in favor of israel under the white

house's preferred proposal up to 30 percent of the occupied west bank would be handed over to israel furthermore the remaining palestinians would be in enclaves isolated from each other with israel having full security control however donald trump insists it's a great deal for the palestinians i want this deal to be a great deal for the palestinians has to be today's agreement is a historic opportunity for the palestinians to finally achieve an independent state of their very own now the palestinians not only reject this deal but they find it insulting mahmoud abbas officially cut ties to the united states and israel back in may the palestinian president is saying that at this point all previous agreements are off. the palestinians have also rejected the recent deals made by train and the

united arab emirates to recognize israel they see these countries as betraying them and stabbing them in the back the palestinian position is that no other country has the right to negotiate on their behalf normalize ation of states in the region with israel will not change the essence of this conflict which is the systemic denial of the palestinian people's inalienable right to freedom and so over and now there's plenty of doubt over these agreements but for donald trump it looks good on t.v. with the elections approaching and the coded 19 body count rising at home and also looks good for netanyahu to be able to smile for the cameras as opposition to him is domestically increasing as well bibi netanyahu is leaving israel is flying to the u.s. today deciding what he calls the great peace agreement leaving a country not to have total chaos. he is leaving us in israel he's going to put his inclusion of the countries in horrible ses he totally

failed in handling the corona crisis. netanyahu in the mainstream media may hail these has historic agreements leading toward peace most analysts look at these deals and see even further violence and conflicts down the road but why ruin a good photo op the planned proposals that trump has for the agreements between palestine and israel are extremely unfavorable to the palestinian people it damages their ability to travel freely it essentially urged them down into you know for lack of better word there are determined camps and it's absolutely going to trigger a new wave of violence because when you would you put one group who best sort of under pressure that's kind of has like less negotiating power when you give that group a terrible deal the way the allies did with germany after world war one you. pave the way for the most hateful most violent leaders possible when you take away

people's opportunities and you take away their economic opportunities their social opportunities their political opportunities when you take all of that away they are then going to turn to the worst leaders the demagogues but those that support violence and so this is absolutely step one to decades more violence. still ahead a call to covert proof the u.k. by informing on rule breaking neighbors courts controversy in britain more in the us right off the brink. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello again in a bid to counter

a potential 2nd wave of the coronavirus new rule of 6 has come into force in much of the u.k. limiting the amount of people who can meet up although. being calling on the public to report rule breakers meaning concerns have been raised about the fella paying a nation of informers. it's open to neighbors to do exactly that through triple through the non-emergency number and if they are concerned they do see that kind of thing then absolutely it's now the new they should be concerned yesterday yes they should should ring in and report that. it will just inundate us with cools does he think we have an endless supply of officers who can just go out to these things it will be hundreds and hundreds of calls coming in from twitches the new rules were brought in after a spike of infections in recent weeks particularly among young adults people face fines of more than 6 gathered together they exemption are covert secure events and

households of more than 6 people work an educational events such as school or also except we put the issue up for debate. there will be quite a lot of breaches some through ignorance some through mistake some just straight forward through mom not going to do it people need to understand why they're doing what they're being asked to do the courts understand that things are a good idea otherwise they won't comply with them i don't believe that we should be snitching on a neighbor's i think we need to be encouraging people to take personal responsibility and use their common sense ok this is a time of politicians to let us down maybe the pound and the economic span is being put a head of public safety and how well you know the message is coming from politicians who knew how dangerous this was and they delayed so long and we knew if we look at the flu pandemic from the night in 20 that it comes back up the summer doubly hard so we need to all share fortunately unfortunately some don't act socially responsible they are malicious about it some are just ultra callous some just last

one way or the other we rely the police aren't everywhere we rely on the public reports in the more egregious examples the worst examples so that the police can deal with them and all our safety personally i wouldn't shot somebody if the next thought is just not the way we do things it is not the british way it's not cool the police. you know they are being spread very thin the minute resources are tough that a tough job to be we don't need to have examples of police dishing out. tickets and . fines for people who are trying to congregate if it was plainly a family saw a gathering and some of those kids maybe not if it was a raucous raucous drunken party of the sort that maybe would attract calls about disturbance in the 1st place anyway rick regardless of coded and then maybe as our judgement tasted hue pizza and marcus say people call the police about

disturbances and noisy parties and things like that anyway and i suspect a lot of those will be reported now with kelly. you know you want to avoid living in some kind of dystopian or where lee and nightmare where we call you know like you found out what might want to the people on the street spying on each other and . this is about safety and listen allies muslim life how the public safety aspect were an awful awful long way from. the ultra confirmed he wanted to assassinate syrian president bashar al assad this by 2 years of flood denials the option was even discussed in a new interview the us president confirmed the killing would have happened if it wasn't for his former defense secretary jim. is it true that after assad guess children for the 2nd time that it was you they wanted to take out assad that you had a good side on him i would have rather take him out i could have also that matters

didn't want to do it. much less the assassination of president assad by the united states never even discussed the book is total fiction. washington believes bashar al assad committed crimes against his own nation specifically claims he is responsible for conducting at least 3 chemical attacks during operations against islamic state let's go through them the 2013 attack which the u.s. claims left nearly 1500 did the 2017 koon sarin gas attack which play in the lives of more than 80 people on the april 28th attack which was the pretext for the u.s. britain and france to conduct strikes on syrian military bases both syria and its military ally russia always denied any involvement in the gas attacks. let's go live now to danielle make albums danielle is executive director of the ron paul in shoot good to see you danielle after i write denying it earlier donald

trump as no 2 years later acknowledged he had the intention of killing bashar al assad your thoughts on the admission and perhaps the timing as well why admit it do you think. well i think i'm close to a times president trying to show some very bad judgment if we see what he's saying now is true it shows that he did not have a handle on the situation most likely he was getting that information but if you didn't have the full handle on the information it still shows that sort of thing this is the kind of tough guy approach that may work well in new york in new york real estate it doesn't work very well when you're in charge of the strongest army the strongest military in the world you know if you want to play a tough guy put on a maga hat and go walk around 4 in the night don't sit around pants thing about it that nato and other world leaders other national leaders particularly those who have strategic alliances with russia who's got a couple nuclear weapons itself so there is bad judgment my guess is also very bad

advice from the people around him about who assad really was what he was actually doing and who he was fighting in syria from 2011 up until this very day pretty brush admission not hiding in any way do you think prison term has a legitimate right to openly say he would rather have like to assassinate bashar al assad or are indeed any other the gentleman leader of a country. there's a real danger in this that is sort of a lawless us and for a long time frowned upon even though the cia has done its its best to do assassinations but as legally and officially frowned on the idea of assassinating foreign leaders the assassination of sola mani of course in iran was a huge exception it hasn't gone very well for trump who hasn't got iran coming on its knees begging for a deal after that on the contrary so all this talk of assassinating people in reality what it does is puts u.s. troops u.s. diplomats and just plain old americans overseas in

a lot more jets that even they than they need to be there's a lot of tough talk and actually has negative consequences for the u.s. and also considering what happened daniel in the aftermath of the killing of libya is in the market just if this had happened. you think you would have seen it a different reaction to a substance. again that was very troubling i mean trump should have been aware of what happened to gadhafi he should know who gadhafi is and was simply looking at that case in the situation what came afterward would be a lot of what provide a lot of wisdom into the foolishness the pool hardiness and the whole idea of a president from continuing intensifying the failed foreign policy of obama on syria on libya and elsewhere that's a real problem that's the real problem that characterizes washington in total no matter who you vote for you get john mccain the neo-cons going one party the neo cons and the other party and the rest of us who actually want to put americans 1st are considered extremists and that was part of is

a ticket was that when he fresh run saying we're going to end pointless wars on the point after 19 years of war on terror what a different strategy be better not rather than still talking about killing inconvenient leaders putting an end to american wars overseas requires more than just rhetoric the rhetoric has been pretty good but the action you have to understand why we get into stupid wars overseas you have to understand the people in washington who make their living fomenting stupid wars overseas in by the way you know madison getting a bad rap here from the president but medicine is needed early in 2018 that the u.s. had no evidence that assad was behind either the attack or the cain she couldn't act attacked in syria in a factor only source of evidence were the white helmet who were basically working without hiding in syria who are going to believe al qaeda over russia and god who are busy trying to fight al qaeda you know it's just i'd like to say it's

a lack of information on the part of something this version much appreciate your time and your thoughts down in accounts executive director of tehran pulled into speaking to us from texas today thank you. acidic jewish pogroms from israel trying to make their way to their traditional place of worship in ukraine for a new year's celebrations have shown themselves strong that hundreds are now is stuck on the country's border with belarus softer being granted permission to travel by minsk on august 29th kiev bunda entry to most foreign nationals amid fears of a 2nd wave of the coronavirus the pilgrims who are traveling by law to have blocked all traffic in the area in protest the red cross and other humanitarian organizations have started providing them with vital supplies israel has appealed directly to the ukrainian president to let the hasidic jews into the country but the pilgrims themselves aren't convinced by television efforts. never be natural
