politicising. position figured i'd like. to clarify how i'm going to treat great reportedly used on russian soil. snooping from officials in the u.k. you want people to snitch on anyone. basically. i would inform the police i will be humane if someone. with the virus cases in the countries testing system is said to be breaking points we hear from some of those affected. south of here 160. each way.
12:01 pm
the general public. and donald trump confirms he wanted the syrian president. taken out but the assassination never went ahead because it was for defense secretary. live from moscow you're watching all of the international media who came in from today welcome to the program. to clarify just how a military grade nerve agent was reportedly used on russian soil of course in the case of opposition activists that. russia in turn the west to stop politicizing his condition and a message were led by the country's top diplomat to his german counterpart with all
12:02 pm
the details here. well at least a phone conversation between the 2 ministers is better than nothing because at one point the talks got canceled altogether when. chose not to fly to berlin after the russian side realized that decided to cut down the planned time for their conversation to one and a half hours an update on the russian foreign ministry website shows that the chat wasn't easy at all so here are moscow's key points russian officials are and will be open to all 'd kinds of cooperation with germany and european countries on this very difficult incident that of alexei no volleying now russia is still a very keen to get all of that medical data of the tests that are to get to the bottom of this and finally law school officials keep repeating if you refuse to share the findings that will be taken as
12:03 pm
a straight forward signal to moscow especially given the fact that some of that data has been shared with other european countries and heat for the vision 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. so berlin has been trying to force the russian side to deal with all this through the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that is an international body that germany says has all the findings but the russian top diplomat told his german colleague that this shouldn't stop the russian and the german governments from talking to each other bilaterally and or outside the o.p.c. w. now moving on to how the issue is being treated by the european union i can tell you that on tuesday the and the volley health incident that's only being described
12:04 pm
as nava chalk poisoning by either countries has made all the way inside the walls of the european parliament but just as an example of how russian diplomats are trying to knock on all kinds of doors in europe i can tell you that just before the m.e. peas began debating the matter russia's mission to the european union came up with 9 blocks of questions flagging and consistencies and how berlin sees this matter some of them include what is the law or the rationale behind the kremlin or the russian authorities alleged plan or scheme to poison the like saying a volley with novacek or a substance of a similar type or why is it being stated by european officials that military grade nerve agent nava chalk was only developed in the soviet union or later russia while extensive work on it was carried out by nato countries as well now here's
12:05 pm
another part of that statement by moscow's mission to the e.u. not claiming to be experts in toxicology we still consider it necessary to draw your attention to multiple inconsistency is regarding this case claims that whatever evidence may be transmitted to russia only with the patients consent i'm not compatible with numerous political level statements made in germany whoa he was still comatose. despite these concerns voiced by russian diplomats the vast majority of any p.s. only had russia to blame without providing any evidence and it all 'd went down to discussing the sanctions against moscow in the meantime the health of alec saying the volley has improved significantly that's the good news he doesn't need a ventilator anymore he can walk and he's even back on social media having posted a photo of him and his family inside the german hospital. among the possible
12:06 pm
sanctions discussed in the e.u. parliament was a byan in the north stream 2 part project austria the objects stressing that it's purely an economic venture and one that will benefit europe for the austrian foreign minister cutting class still believes reason has gone out of the window over the not only case. that has always been the mantra was of the german chancellor angela merkel to say this is a purely commercial project and i have been read to rating also when i was there is after minister nobody builds a pipeline to annoy somebody it's all about the mobs and there's a demand we have a nearly completed construction pipeline and now all of a sudden overnight seemingly terms of trade should be changed practice once are banned it's a very old concept treaties have to be kept have to be preserved and desirable to consider as the biggest collection of damage we would still call crude. contracts
12:07 pm
of such a wide euro with german companies if you can change everything i think too many people have taken that topic right into the media we are in a very emotional state made there is no more space right now rationale investigation and this is deplorable. with tighter new covert instructions having come into place much of the u.k. people are being encouraged to turn informal wraps on any rule breakers it's all part of efforts to combat rising infection rates but not everyone's cup double about telling tales 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 if it's now the law they should be concerned you should say yes if you should ring in and report. it will just inundate us with calls does he think we have an endless supply of officers who can just go out to these things it
12:08 pm
will be hundreds and hundreds of calls coming in from twitches. the new rules include fines for people meeting in groups bigger than 6 exemptions or cope with secure events and larger households work and education institutions are also exempt but with police forces already stretched so many questions how the measures can be enforced we asked people in london what they think about becoming informants. oh i'm not going to. be human if someone. i would want to chill out and she isn't basically what i think you know i would inform the police i'd expect the police to do their job not asking us the public to enforce perfects of the governmental rules that i don't agree with i phones on what they're doing those people will probably not enforce it when you say 7 people who are having a birthday party but will want to fast it hits 240 people have no way. i guess
12:09 pm
preventions. me of the servant class. with the issue of snitching on people causing such controversy we put the matter up for 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 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 economics that is being put our head of public safety and health but we don't get messages 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
12:10 pm
socially responsible they are malicious about it some are just old for careless i'm 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 the police. 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
12:11 pm
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 wearily and nightmare where we've got you know like a fire and i thought might want to the people on the street spying on each other and and cancel the monitor or think this is about safety going to save lives not on the public health aspect the public safety aspect were an awful awful long way from the swamps with rising demand for u.k.'s coronavirus testing program is said to be close to breaking point frontline medics are among those having difficulty getting checked dr so if you're owens from the u.k. doctors association said people have been forced to travel long distances just to get tested. but i did it to be about just under 3 weeks a guy and you know i mean it's strange way i looked on the website the nearest. central tomorrow white actually 60 miles and he's done it right i thought that
12:12 pm
wasn't really good enough but i wasn't well enough to make that to students and so i checked again late seventies stages of threats of this text and you're out of whack tonight it just outside london that would be 860 mile round trip when they reach where i was just that it's not just the general populace trying to get cash to talk to and from my house where this is wow so you are studying this all almost 250 docs and we found that 10 percent while i was ill and somehow being asked to drive someone made stranger 60 mile round trip was done well and to be able to get attached another dose is the having to make about let's try wait to see if it comes up which that means that i. well let's take a quick look now at the covert figures in the u.k. just over the past few days daily infections have exceeded 3000 to see that table rising their test available ity is running low in the country's 10 worst hot spots
12:13 pm
due to the rising number of infections hospitals are canceling routine operations and turning patients away and labs are also struggling to clear the backlog of tests whether you can health secretary has admitted the testing program is facing an enormous challenge and he says only those showing symptoms or told to do so by their doctor to get checked should book a test you also stressed the importance of prioritizing the most vulnerable patients. over the summer when demand was low we were able to meet all requirements for testing whether priorities or not but as demand has risen so we're having to prioritise once again and i do not shirk from decisions about prioritize ocean they're not always comfortable but they are important so i mean i think it's quite clear the government is going to all of it and we will now heading into all 2 and we need it is going to happen in schools that there are lots about the wind let's have a cornerstone but without knowing whether it is or whether it's so it was like to
12:14 pm
be in. the chest in-tray system is up and running past you know it doesn't. it was supposed to be account by him to support the u.s. military but a recently released by the trumpet ministration has been drawing attention for all the wrong reasons.
12:15 pm
the image had been brought thousands of times already it's been. all over the place so this was the work of designers and they obviously didn't check their work very thoroughly as with many stock images my friend and i collaborate he does the 3 d. models like the airplanes and i take photographs i take pictures of people and composite them with other images what's funny about this one is that it features landscapes from many different countries the ground is from france the skies from russia and the mountains from greece upon closer inspection any experienced person
12:16 pm
i could instantly tell this is a composite this is a stock image it's not something high quality if the trump campaign had come directly to me i would have created something far better somebody should be hired to check the suits of things especially as there aren't just russian soldiers in this image or german soldiers who pretty much every soldier in the image is from a different country of course you have to know these things but even if you can't identify the make of plane you can definitely recognize the rifle. despite 2 years of denials donald trump is finally confirmed he wanted syria's leader dead in a new interview the us president said the only reason the assassination did not take place was opposition from his former defense secretary is it true that after assad gas children for the 2nd time that it was you they wanted to take out a sad that you had a good side on him i would have rather taken him out i could have a ball that matters didn't want to do it. the assassination of president assad by
12:17 pm
the united state never even discussed the book is total fiction. washington times bashar al assad committed crimes against his nation including multiple chemical attacks and both syria and its military ally russia have always denied any involvement the executive director at the ron paul institute daniel mcadams is trump's admission could have consequences that it is needed early in 2018 that the u.s. had no evidence that assad was the heinz either the attack or the cain she couldn't act attacked in syria in a fact or only source of evidence were the white helmet who were basically working with al qaeda in syria who are going to believe al qaeda over russia and god who are busy trying to fight al qaeda but there's a real danger in this that it's sort of a lawless for a long time frowned upon even though the cia has done it it's best to do it that nations but as legally and officially frowned on the idea of assassinating foreign
12:18 pm
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 or even they than they need to be there's a lot of tough talk in actually has negative consequences for the u.s. . after months of delays and disagreements afghan peace talks finally got underway over the weekend and while there have been no major breakthroughs yet the u.s. president donald trump will have his fingers crossed hoping to fulfill promises made 4 years ago with the details here's a little cool too. the clock is ticking on the next u.s. presidential election and donald trump's looking to score political points with a peace deal that promises to end america's longest ever war in afghanistan
12:19 pm
washington's very optimistic about the talks already being held with the taliban in qatar they are truly in a momentous occasion. afghans. at long last chosen to sit together and chart a new course for your country. this is a moment. we must dare to hope but on pales optimism doesn't seem to match with political reality. washington knows it's got to deliver a deal to the war weary u.s. public at any cost so it conveniently neglected to consult afghanistan's government when drafting the agreement until this issue. there was
12:20 pm
a consensus on that is a nice but not on the cost of even us officials aren't exactly thrilled about it we're not happy about the release of some prisoners but hey times almost up for trump and the president's got to fulfill his promises he's already had 4 years to take care of this one the longest war in american history by far even close will be over within 1000 years. and i think that's enough we will not dictate to the afghan people how to live or how to govern their own complex society better late than never sure but trump's administration is only promising full withdrawal by 2021 if there is not another setback of course who knows if that will be too little too late for americans fed up with the war or for the afghanis who are possibly even more unhappy about their country's military occupation to permit the americans must leave now what have they done staying here for so long was did they bring for us have once been basically given before the us arrived in afghanistan we had our
12:21 pm
own government in the uk i think of them americans leave now there won't be too many changes in terms of security was going to put us on earth but it's better if the americans leave our country our leader must take action if he makes a good decision it will be beneficial for us we can provide for ourselves but if the us stays we cannot. we will never need to beg we can be rich and build our country and being america's longest war has proven to be easier said than done for many years but now that it might serve the current administration as a boost to secure another term who knows what could happen the united states invaded afghanistan in order to. get osama bin laden was taken to be the most in line behind the 911 terrorist attacks bin ladin wasn't by istanbul united states killed him that was 2011 so that's almost 10 years ago so there's a real question what. on earth was the united states doing all the time in
12:22 pm
afghanistan one of course it was in the business of nation building which successive u.s. administrator says oh no no we will never do that we're not going to get involved in nation building well of course that's what he was involved in whether it will result in the lasting peace in afghanistan that's of course anybody's guess but what's important is the final withdrawal of the united states and all international forces from afghanistan because they really weren't doing anything useful there and were essentially just making things worse. i could look at other stories making headlines around the world today and environmental emergency has been declared in the brazilian state of mind to go also where wildfires have engulfed vast areas of wetlands the region suffering its worst drought in 47 years with manmade fires also being blamed an area the size of belgium has been reduced to ash. hurricane sandy is continuing to batter parts of the
