russia calls on germany to pull its. poisoning of opposition figurehead. reportedly used on russian soil. also ahead in the program get snooping to the call from officials in the u.k. who want people to. cope with restrictions. in place of. the film the place. i'll be. with coronavirus case is surging in britain the country's testing system is said to

be at breaking point we hear from. general. donald trump confirms he wanted the syrian president bashar al assad needed but the killing never went ahead because of his former defense. training him from right across the world today welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know me good to have your company. called on moscow to clarify how a military grade nerve agent was reportedly used on russian soil referring to the case of opposition activists that alexina felony russia in turn urged the west to

stop politicizing his condition and the message relayed by the country's top diplomats. to his german counterpart with more developments here is. 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 volley 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 a straight forward signal to moscow especially given the fact that some of that data has been shared with other european countries any further 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 in 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 as nava chalk poisoning by e.u. 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. piece 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 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 patient's 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 m e p s only had russia to blame without providing any evidence and it all 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 and side to the german hospital along the possible sanctions the scale in the e.u. parliament was abundant in the north stream to pipeline project austria though objects stressing that it's purely economic venture and will not will benefit europe former austrian foreign minister carding knesset told me reason of the window over than felony cases. it has always been the mantra of the german chancellor angela merkel to say this is a purely commercial brooch act and i have been read to raging also when i was dissolved as minister nobody builds a pipeline to annoy somebody it's all about the mom and the mont we have a nearly completed construction pipeline and now all of a sudden overnight seemingly terms of straight should be changed practice once of

and it's a very old concept treaties have to be kept have to be preserved and desirable to consider as the biggest collector of damage who wants to come. contract of such a wide euro was 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 days snow more space right now. investigation and this is deplorable. with a tighter new covert restrictions having come into place and much of the u.k. people are being encouraged to turn informer on any rule breakers it's all part of efforts to combat rising infection rates but not everyone is comfortable telling tales. it's open to neighbors to do exactly that through triple through the non-emergency number and if they are concerned that they do see that kind of thing

then absolutely it's now the new they should be concerned yesterday yes they 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 well just some of the details the new rules include fines for people meeting in groups bigger than 6 exemptions are covert secure a vengeance larger high schools work and educational institutions are also exempt but with police forces already stretched many question how the measures can be enforced we asked people in london what they think about becoming potential informants oh no no i'm not going to shut. up you here man if someone. i would want to chill out and she isn't basically what i think you know i would inform the place 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 i've heard people will probably not enforce it when he say 7 people were having a birthday party but we want to show our city 240 people have no way. i guess preventions. me off in several plus you know sticks and stones. and clearly with the issue of informing 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 are letting 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 a year some 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 their next thought is just not the way we do things it is not the british way is not cool 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. you know 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. do you want to avoid living in some kind of dystopia an orwellian nightmare where we call you know like you found i thought one of the people on the street is spying on each other and constant monitoring of this is about safety only saving lives not only life for the public health aspect the public safety aspect were an awful awful long way from well staying in britain swamped with rising demands the u.k.'s coronavirus testing program is said to be close to breaking point to the extent that frontline medics

are among those having difficulty getting checked speaking to our to your earlier dr sophy ruins from the u.k. doctors association explained why people are being forced to travel long distances just to get tested but i did get to be about just under 3 weeks a guy i knew i need to check straight to a i looked onto the website and the nearest text was sent to mark white actually 60 miles and he's done it cripes i i thought that wasn't really good enough but i wasn't well enough to make that if students and so i checked again late seventies stages of threats of his chest and you're out of whack tonight it's just outside london that would be 860 mile round trip in there each way it's just that it's not just the general public mistreatment a chest it's doctors and from my house where this is well so you are studying this all almost 250 docs and we found that 10 percent were on a test axle. and some to be honest it drives some 8260 mile round trip was done well and to be able to get attached another dose is

a having to make decision about let's try wait to see if test comes up which that means that i. well this is the situation us regard in the u.k. currently in the past few days you can see daily infections exceeding 3000 and test availability it's running low in the country's 10 worst hot spots well due to the rising number of infections hospitals are canceling routine operations and turning away patients labs are also struggling to clear the barking of tests now the u.k.'s health secretary has admitted the testing programs facing an enormous challenge. cox's only those showing symptoms or told by their doctors to get checked should be a test he also stressed the need to prioritize the most vulnerable 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 prioritization they're not always comfortable but they are important so i mean i think it's quite clear the government did not include it and we we're now getting into all 2 and we knew that this was going to happen the schools that bad there were lots about that went to. have a call on a separate separately that we don't know whether it is or whether it's so it was vitally important that. the testing trace system is up and running probably at topics that doesn't seem to be the case. now it was supposed to be a come pain to support the u.s. military but a recently released by the trumpet ministration has been drawing attention for quite different reasons.

because the image had been brought thousands of times already it's been used all over the place so if this was the work of designers it then 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 could instantly tell that this is a compass it this is a stock image it's not something high quality if the trim campaign had come directly to me i would have created something far better somebody should be hired check these sorts of things especially is that on just russian soldiers and this image of a german soldiers in pretty much every soldier in the image is from a diff. 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 has now 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 that wanted to take out assad that you had a good side on him i would have rather take him out i could have all said matters didn't want to do it. the assassination of president assad by the united states i never even discussed the book is total fiction or just doing a bit deeper into this washington claims bashar al assad committed crimes against his nation including multiple chemical attacks both syria and its military ally russia have always denied any involvement the executive director of the ron paul is shoot down in mcadams fears trumps admission of consequences. now this is made 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 and in fact or only source of evidence were the white helmet who were basically working without hiding in syria so we're going to believe al qaeda over russia and the dogs who are busy trying to fight al qaeda but there's a real danger in this that is sort of a lawless and this 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 a fascinating foreign leaders the assassination of solo money 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 jeopardy than they did they need to be there's a lot of tough talk and actually has negative consequences for the u.s. . another story we are closely following this week after months of delays

disagreements to afghan peace talks finally got on the way the weekend with no major breakthroughs to report as yet the u.s. president is under pressure to fulfill promises made 4 years ago donald quarter picks up the story for us. 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 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 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. 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. 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 own government in the uk i think of them americans leave now there won't be too many changes in terms of security 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 made it afghanistan in order to. get osama bin laden stated to be the mind behind the 911 terrorist attacks bin ladin wasn't by istanbul united states killed him that was 2011 so that's what was 10 years ago so there's a real question what. on earth was the united states doing all the time in afghanistan when of course it was in the business of nation building each successive us administration 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 loss the 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. and environmental emergency has been declared in the brazilian state of mito grow so or wildfires have destroyed vast areas of wetlands the region suffering its worst strides in almost half a century with manmade fires also being blamed an area the size of belgium has been reduced to. you know all hurricane sulley is continuing to batter parts of the u.s. it's now strengthened and has just made landfall in southern alabama lashing sideways rain has brought on power lines causing blackouts because of its slow moving trajectory it's fear the hurricane could cause historic and life threatening levels of flooding. let's just take you to respond only which is urging urgently excuse me building a new camp you can see here for
