alleged nerve agent poisoning off a russian opposition figure was high on the agenda of a european parliament session on tuesday the vast majority of speakers pointed the finger of blame squarely at russia although no evidence was presented our europe correspondent peter all of a picks up the story. the 2 main topics that were brought up were sanctions that would target senior russian officials or 'd the by the pausing or banning altogether stopping altogether the north 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 this impunity for cynical of our lives are we up to

all of us we need to make a deep review of our stretch to a sort of democracy russia should be our priority not business as usual of luxury to type the i don't want to serve well there are people who tear into russia whole day 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 strengths 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 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 after their initial request went on he did russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is becoming clearly quite frustrated with western partners who he say it says so. you have made up their mind already. 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 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 or we don't have legal grounds for launching a criminal case yet and that is why we are still 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 or not following that foreign ministers meeting taking place next week. the e.u.'s foreign policy chief here is that burrell has also proposed sanctions the lines of the u.s. magnitsky act that paper was initially drawn up to punish russian officials who were blamed again by the u.s. for their involvement in the death of a russian and corruption lawyer so again magnitsky who died in a 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 act with live valley's name on its head or sense and accident valley's condition has improved significantly in recent days he's no longer on a ventilator and can even take short walks away from his hospital bed in berlin he's also back on social media this photo of he and his family was posted earlier with the family saying it felt amazing to breathe on his own again. french m.e.p.

t.r.e. mariani all who also took part in the parliamentary session took a somewhat different view to many of his colleagues. it was a little bit disappointing because i think there was no reason the borer position except me and. human both said ok if there isn't boson meaning of mr not only 1st make a serious investigation to know 'd who is guilty and don't set the name of guilty before investigation everybody understand that there is. some. idea between this and this sanction to stop or to continue the last 3 years through it's evident now for europe if europe want to be independent there is dissolution it's continued not through to and how the direct relation with russia oh stop this . gets a line or what would we do it's the only solution for europe we'd be too to buy

share of gas from america and ice in the interest of europe is to have the various produce for gas the same session in the european parliament also touched on the current situation in belarus the bloc foreign minister stated that the e.u. is preparing functions in light of the recent disputed election and may even consider suspending all relations with meant however the minister got his country's can paste we consider their elections on the 9th of august troubling to show. not the legitimacy president of ukraine ashanti miller which. what they were thinking about. comes a day off to vladimir putin held a meeting where with alexander lukashenko in sochi here's the barrel claim to showed moscow's clear support for the lukashenko administration but the russian

president warned against any external pressure on his dad calls for dialogue between the government and opposition. we want the 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 the what and it seems from this meeting that should pull through russia to. continue. historian and analyst. is being used as another reason to ramp up tensions with russia. i don't really know the difference between belarus to be doing ukraine and so on they just know that these states are buffer state between russia and the western world and doug's defined old you are the basic point of view of most ways to kill it issues and does very hard to make them understand

these countries are. countries that should give local in their own diocese and not to be the league of ways international attention actually if there is a great day or elation concerning russia because it does the reason why attentions in belarus are so. so observed by a lot of western people some of them are conscious docked belarus cannot be denied to question i lay inside and nato and they are trying to find some compromise during this crisis but some of them are appreciative she added great hearing to both push tension so to make deletion of friendship difficult and not taking into account when i see what is the real situation in belarus. i

don't like action from israel has signed peace deals in washington with bahrain and united arab emirates but the agreements have prompted a fear reus reaction from palestine which claims it's being stopped in the back a protest occurred in front of the palestinian legislative council headquarters in gaza with several demonstrators carrying signs which read. is a betrayal people fountain and sun post as a goal for me to translate the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu however mr trump held the dalles as a huge breakthrough. this is a truly historic day we hope that this will start an even more historic journey for the middle east and beyond 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 it 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 a mood 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 bahrain 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 israelis flying to the u.s. today to sign what he calls the create peace agreement leaving that country not to total chaos. sort of like a lot of politics he's leaving us in israel he's going to put his inclusion of the countries in the 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. earlier we spoke to a regional affairs expert to see how palestinians have reacted to the next. what could have been the future is what kind of reaction will be in there with banks for example and if things go way out of. things and also may go where. things may deteriorate we may get back to the father although i think it will be very difficult. because the political leadership is not interested in that it's interested in the book be a lot of resistance but things will not be at least with what is have been in the mail if you will you see the people who feel how much of the feel depressed by what is happening. it's not only that they are giving. what israel wants their problem is with today's signature they killed the last.

piece of wood that the palestinians can hang on in this sea. still ahead a call to koby proves the u.k. by informing on rule breaking neighbors cause control of the sea across person now on that after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by throwing personal those words. in the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

one else child small seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me the world is yet to shape our disdain to come out again and in again from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground.

welcome back in a bit to counter a potential 2nd wave of the corona virus a new rule of 6 has come into force in much of the u.k. limiting the amount of people who could meet up although after some employees it cold on the public to report rule breakers concerns have been raised about developing a nation of inform us it's open to neighbors to do exactly that through trickle through the non-emergency number and if they are concerned they do see that kind of thing then absolutely it's now the law they should be concerned yes they should

ring in and report that. it will just inundate us with cools does he think we have an endless supply of offices you can just go out to these things it will be hundreds and hundreds of calls coming in from which is the new rules were brought in after a spike of infections in recent weeks particularly among young adults people now face a fines if more than 6 gather together exemptions include covert secure events and households of more than 6 people work in educational locations and events are also exempt we're putting up the debate. there will be quite a lot of breaches some through ignorance some through mistake some just straight forward through my i'm 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 our neighbors 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 spend is being put a head of public safety and health but you know the messages come out 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 the last one way or the other we rely the police aren't everywhere we rely on the public reporting 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 or the police that you know they are being spread very thin at 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 were 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 judgment takes to hugh 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 or you're living in some kind of dystopian or where your nightmare where we've got you know like a virus that's what i want to salute people on the street spying on each other on the monitor if you know this is about say what you want to say to life not only to the public health us through the public so to hospitals were an awful awful long way from. start trampers confirmed he wanted to assassinate syrian president

bashar al assad that's despite 2 years of flat out denials the option was even discussed in a new interview the us president confirmed the killing attempt would have happened if it wasn't for opposition from his former defense secretary jim artis is it true that after assad guess children for the 2nd time that it was you the ones that take out a side that you had a good side on and i want to. get him out rather brought him out as didn't want to do it such as 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 it claims he is responsible for conducting at least 3 chemical attacks during the operations against islamic state they are the 2013 it due to strike which the u.s. claims left nearly $1500.00 dead the 27000 can shaken sarin gas attack which claimed the lives of more than 80 people and in april 28th duma which was the

pretext for the u.s. britain and france to conduct a airstrikes on syrian military bases both syria and its military ally russia have always denied any involvement in the gas attacks. executive director of the ron paul institute daniel mcadams believes the tough guy approach from trump is only pushing the u.s. military and officials at risk. burgess admitted early in $28000.00 that the u.s. had no evidence that assad would be higher in either the attack or the cain security attack in syria and in fact her only source of evidence were the white helmets who were basically working without in syria so we're going to believe our crowd of over russia. who are busy trying to fight al qaeda but there's a real danger in this it is sort of all lawlessness us for a long time on even though the cia has done its its best to do assassinations but as has the legal in officially frowned on the idea of assassinating foreign leaders

the assassination of solar monny of course in iran was a huge exception it hasn't gone very well over trump he hasn't got iran coming on its knees begging for us for that on the contrary so all this talk of the sas getting people into reality what it does it puts u.s. troops u.s. diplomats and just plain old americans overseas in a lot more jeopardy than they than they need to be it's a lot of tough talk you know actually has negative consequences for the u.s. . has sitting jewish programs from israel trying to make their way to a traditional place of worship in ukraine for new year's celebrations found themselves stranded hundreds are now stuck on the country's border with better response to being granted permission to travel by minsk on august 29th can have banned entry to most foreign nationals amid fears of a 2nd wave of the coronavirus the pilgrims who were traveling by land have blocked all traffic in the area in protest they red cross and other humanitarian

organizations have started providing them with vital supplies as well as appeal directly to the ukrainian president to let the his citic jews into the country but the pilgrims themselves aren't convinced by tel of eve's effort. that really no man is on life we're not taking a step backwards we're not going to build a roost or know when we refugees we have little children women elderly people who have no food no drink no nothing of israel's not helping us on the contrary they're trying to close ukraine for us to go to pass you may never get off their banks we'll stay here and joining us here on r.t. and to national we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines we'll see you then. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

i. suppose some of the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs. first offense. let me just step away. is the main thing. they have this is the this is for me. it was. i don't know maybe don't. make or.

break right. now what. will justice be done in a london court not only is joining us on trial but so is freedom of speech and profession of journalism what explains this farce media coverage of this trial why haven't more journalists. in is a sign is being used as far as you need for those channels. to be. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation if you didn't cheat. 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. or in maybe the shallowness. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss a bore in washington coming up the united states has left new restrictions on china

for alleged rights abuses in the province of straight ahead we analyzed for banned and what effect the move will have on global trade routes plus the race for a tobin $1000.00 vaccine has been condensed in record time of causing some uncertainty but are these fears warranted coming up we break down the dash for a cure and later and boeing stock has suffered in the wake of this probe virus and the $737.00 max controversy will take a look at the newest moves coming from the aerospace giant back show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with another escalation in tensions between the united states and china as the trump administration has banned the import of certain goods from the shin jiang region of the country u.s. customs and border protection said on monday it had added 5 new chinese and these which manufacture hair products cotton apparel and. and electronics to import blacklist used to fight what it characterize it as forced labor of ethnic minorities in the region in announcing the ban c.b.p.

commissioner mark morgan said in a statement the trumpet ministration will not stand idly by and allow foreign companies to subject vulnerable workers to forced labor while harming american businesses that respect human rights and the rule of law that u.s. had previously had producers of toys garlic and artificial sweeteners to that same blacklist this is the latest step from the u.s. taken against china's actions in the region where human rights advocates say china is holding wiggers and other muslim minorities in detention camps now the chinese ministry of foreign affairs respond to the move tuesday. may follow you through. the exclusive cold forced labor going to us in. measures or in some chinese companies this violated international rules damaged a little industrial chain with chains and value chain which is outright believe china to those into the so-called forced labor leaders also made out of thin air

and seriously goes against some people in the us have been complaining that they care about minorities and changing in the meantime i mean what they took measures cracking down on companies this is a hypocritical thing and evil intentions of these people to sow discord between the chinese when people ringback of different groups. and for more on this let's bring in boom bust co-host christiane i for some analysis now so getting to be a complicated situation it looks like the u.s. decided to temporarily shelve a sweeping ban on products containing confirmation john and are instead becoming more targeted by banning specific companies instead what do you make of this move kristie. well this was actually a really smart move by the u.s. because a sweeping ban what it made more of an impact a statement but then you also risk getting challenge legally.
