europe is about to vote on a resolution on the alleged. call for sanctions against russia that says moscow warns its partners not to politicize the. u.s. troops die in a room. american presidential hopeful joe biden fails to recall probably the country he infamously helped send the military back in 2000 and. finds most americans don't know how many people died in the holocaust was significant share even thought the jews to blame we asked new yorkers what they'd been taught about this dark chapter of history.

and politicians are angry after it's revealed that american firms provide the technology used to shut down the internet during the disputed presidential election . good morning from russia just turned 11 am here now this thursday the 17th of september live from. moscow it's kevin owen with the update for you for the next 30 minutes i can stay with me as we go through it and the news event coming up now then the european parliament imminently going to vote on a resolution urging sanctions on russia if it should fail to carry out an open investigation into the alleged assassination plot against alexina valmy the kremlin those urged the bloc not to politicize the case looking forward to what might be coming up over the next hour or 2 peter all of it in berlin with more. be voting

later on thursday in the european parliament's on a resolution to do with russia relations between e.u. member states and. what this resolution does is it calls on russia to cooperate with an investigation into what happened to alexina vali to provide immediate and full disclosure of the novacek chemical weapons program to the o.p.c. w that's the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons based in the hague in the netherlands and calls for an end to acts of harassment against oppositions of the russian government the action from the e.u. it wants to see is further restrictive sanction measures against russia and russian officials also for the calling off the ending of the nord stream 2 gas pipeline project now on tuesday the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs yossef bottle that's basically the foreign minister was talking to any peace saying that that wasn't in the remit of the

powers that the e.u. institutions had that would come down to the individual member states who are involved in the project to make that decision if they were to call it off or not but what we're hearing from the e.u. commission president is that while action against russia needs to be taken to and 2000 that advocates closer ties with russia i say that the poisoning of alexei navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off we have seen the pattern angela and in ukraine in syria and saulsbury and then election meddling around the world. and this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that moscow is still demanding the evidence berlin says backs up its claims that alexina violently was poisoned the meeting peskov the kremlin spokes person has also said

that when it comes to north stream to the gas pipeline project that would take russian gas from russia under the baltic sea directly into germany that this was a commercial project and that it should be separate from any political or diplomatic disputes. we strongly disagree with such a statement it seems a deliberate misunderstanding going unconscious misunderstanding of what really happened to the patient in berlin which is necessary to stop mentioning north stream to in a political context which is a commercial project that is absolutely in line with the interests of russia and the countries of the european union peculiarly germany of those a similar message coming from russia's permanent 'd representative to the e.u. who said that the whole existence of the north stream to gas pipeline project was based on commercial need in countries like germany and that commercial need still exists therefore as far as he's concerned the project should end up going ahead as

planned alexina valise competition the man at the center of all of this alexina violently his condition is said to be improving he remains here in early and receiving treatment at the shallot a hospital where that vote in the e.u. parliament is expected a little late that on monday we should have the results certainly before lunchtime i'll bring you all of the latest as it comes in here on out yeah it's june and lee a political commentator khamis says some in the e.u. are intent nonetheless on putting an end to that big pipeline project. in the backyard lobbyists from the u.s. and poland who are vital interests in. the east. because of the polish one to blame the european union and especially the germans so that they can get a little though europe the us and the 2nd is the polish one that will fly from poland to down market and the last group to plant will stop so in the backyard

there are many many law yes working the more or less corrupt politicians to start this clone for germany it would be a nightmare it would be embarrassing if nothing else everybody has to go down on them was russia because there is the market of the future americans already try out the french already drive to it and all the us will go one block dry out as. soon as they get that and were flushed up on the screen to bring it to you and the next joe biden the sending out mixed messages on the campaign trail the democratic presidential candidate was speaking in florida about his health care plans for veterans unfortunately though he got one of the countries they served in wrong saying iran instead of iraq is not the 1st gaffe or the kind died there. u.s. troops die in a rare and in afghanistan. parliament iran's parliament voted to reject all

americans and coalition forces in the country we tried it in in iraq is not working so now we're going to try i mean in iran and scuse me. in ukraine coming you know someone who has been injured or lost in iraq and where. let me tell you something i mean we. it's that conflict in iraq that joe biden has been widely criticized for for played a key role in authorizing back in 2002 at the time each year the u.s. congress foreign relations committee and shows all 18 pro-war witnesses in the main congress hearings on iraq it lated to the iraqi leaders saddam is say the cause neither had weapons of mass destruction or ties to al qaida by conservative estimate more than 4500 u.s. soldiers and the same number of contracts is lost their lives in the invasion. former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter told the program he briefed joe

biden on the absence of iraqi weapons of mass destruction but at the time was ridiculed. what is a big deal is joe biden's boat for the iraq war and i take it personally because i briefed joe biden in person you know he insulted me when i testified for the united states senate in those september of 1980 about iraqi weapons of mass destruction he'd be a little be a scouting boy he said people above my pay grade are making this decision is it soda and then he met with me in apologized and said he you know you know a lot we should talk about this in 2002 in the lead up to the vote on the war he as you mentioned he hosted a hearing and i did my darndest to become a witness for that hearing he ignored me. and it was very rude the way he did so and as you said he brought in pro-war wait this is he stacked the deck it was a kangaroo court because joe biden wanted to go to war he always wanted to go to

war any boated for that war that's what american veterans are going to hold him to account for the military is not a litmus test for american patriotism. but you can't run around and pretend that you are mr ra ra google military when you are you know there's not a single non political combat veteran who is going to give joe biden a pass on this one joe biden has 0 credibility when it comes to talking about other military talk about war above all talking about sacrifice he literally has no credibility doesn't rest. us politicians angry after it was revealed that an american company provided the technology used to shut down the internet during the disputed presidential election in belarus recently the firm has since terminated its contract with the by the russian government citing human rights violations on his double quarter as the story. an american tech company called san divine just

joined the west's fingerpointing against the belorussian government according to an article from bloomberg it's decided to end its dealings with minsk over alleged human rights abuses this is a human rights violation and it has triggered the automatic terminations of our and using license agreements said mind takes human rights abuses very seriously. the use of technology to suppress the free flow of information resulting in human rights violations during last month's presidential election belarus's internet went down nationwide of course western politicians and the media were quick to blame minsk for the blackout. the powers that be in minsk deprive the public of their right to seek and receive information again breaking their obligations under international law as well as contravening their commitments this can have a direct impact on the wellbeing of the citizens who are unable to learn the true state of what is taking place in the country on the other hand minsk says a cyber attack caused the shutdown but what does san vine have to do with all this

while despite conflicting reports of what exactly caused the shutdown there is no doubt the company was doing business with the belorussian government it specializes in internet censoring technology typically used to fight internet crimes but bloomberg revelation claims minsk used that same tech to block its internet traffic now the company's crying human rights abuses even though not too long ago a leaked conversation suggested its management didn't care much for playing politics we don't want to play world police we believe that each sovereign country should be allowed to set their own policy and what is allowed and what is not allowed in that country still the possibility that men skews american tech to advance its political agenda was enough to make us politicians cry foul over the involvement of one of their own firms it would be deeply troubling if american technology is being used by the us dictator of europe to blow by the russians from using the internet of justice thousands peacefully protest

a stolen election and brutal political risk. reports that technology from a us company is being used by the lucas shango regime to censor and restrict citizens access to the internet in béla reuss is troubling let's not forget the us has been slapping sanctions on bellerose since 2006 meaning in many cases american companies aren't really supposed to be selling to the belorussian government but that wasn't enough to stop san vine from trying to make a bit of money or a number of other companies for that matter so why are these firms concerned about human rights all of the sudden. well someone else who is concerned about human rights in belarus is the exiled opposition leaders for lower to cannot score a course in a new op ed in the washington post she urges his supporters to keep on demonstrating in striking and also wants to the international community to pile on the pressure on president alexander lukashenko and teles ousted we as a nation have passed the point of no return go has no future as leader of this

country and it is only a question of time until he leaves power we ask other governments to stop collaborating with the regime and impose sanctions on individuals who force the results of the election and committed crimes against their own citizens so long to can all scar also insists she is the real president of belarus challenging the results of august selection further she says analysis by several independent groups shows that the vote was rigged to put lucas showing in front we spoke to grigori your for a global affairs expert he says he was left unimpressed by taken all scholars recent. mysis chicano studies or rather the symbol of student protest i don't think that she is a fully fledged leader or that she's perceived in that capacity of course we do not 'd know the exact results respect outcomes of the presidential elections this quite

possible that she won those elections but it seems to me that. a large group of politically active people and particularly student you are in favor of not so much you got off there just against the present day leadership. i think that it is it beals of they are sort of a syrian one you know they believe that conditional i wouldn't be too close attention to them as well as to the end because he missed this suit you can also get a lot of his maintain his diplomatic relations with all major western powers. that be and obviously. credited in minsk the

have to have some. relationships with vishal so otherwise what for. romney. who will all go in it's a matter of time well mortals of this phrase that will question will go in it's a matter of time it doesn't have much sense and we're witnessing a situation whereby the tables that turned and it seems like the protest has already reached its highest point and it may be subsiding of course the. when you receive it you will sure this is going to spread. to be. called well me also this will be. around the world in 60 seconds in spain 1st police unions rally against what they say is madrid's in action over officers taking their own lives to protest they're also condemned the spanish prime minister

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you there. hello again a new survey has found that a significant number of young americans don't know very much about the holocaust during the 2nd world war their research was conducted in 50 states it found that among 18 to 39 year olds most don't know how many jews were murdered by the nazis almost a half of respondents couldn't name a single concentration camp the most troubling of all maybe 11 percent blamed the jews themselves for the whole of for the holocaust however the majority of those

surveyed did also agree that it was important they said to learn about the holocaust to ensure it never happened again and that holocaust education should be compulsory in schools we are so young people in new york what they'd learnt about it in their history lessons. millions of jews type i mean if you start couple 1000000000. people died and i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was the time i need more 6000000 people. the exact hour but it. could be about auschwitz and remember anything else. now is like a. pretty big game day right it's weird like now it's kind of like there's a conspiracy theorists that think it didn't happen or more and according to people behind the survey the nazis and the collaborators set up over 14000 concentration camps and ghettos during the 2nd world war in auschwitz alone almost a 1000000 jews were murdered 2 thirds of europe's jews were killed in the holocaust holocaust expert told us the u.s.

education system he thinks is failing students. the reality is the american americans generally american youth or young people in particular are ignorant about history and they get too much of their information from social media and that social media is full of holocaust deniers claim we get never happened saying the jews caused it and that's the general problem that exists with social media but generally it starts from the fact they just do not know history they take perfunctory history classes in high school you know the average history teacher is called not called him mr history or history person or sir he's called coach because most history teachers in the united states have to coach a team and that's their primary responsibility is to coach basketball soccer whatever it might be and secondary they teach history and that's the reality of history in the united states it's a national problem because it's impossible for people in my opinion to make political choices if they don't understand history and what came before that and

what one of the causes of events but again it's not only the holocaust it's of course the american revolution the cold war i'm making a bet that if you asked people what the battle of stalingrad was in the united states these same kids a bit more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative. smith sensible way. the shortage of covert testing in the u.k. is led teaches now to question the safety of reopening schools their pupils and star for among those struggling to get checked correspondent lisa rallies got the latest . it wasn't so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school it's much much better for their for their health and mental wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects we've made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all

scientific advice is that schools are safe it's only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one teaching union is warning that education secretary gavin williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers a founding the alarm but a chronic lack of testing facilities means that i do cation in england make right to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home school managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get home go social distancing isn't possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if it's just a cold or coverage and it's a complete loss story and of course the danger is that they will be some situations

where in fact we did have an infectious child in this go but nobody knows because we can't get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and college leaders said staff and pupils couldn't have tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirties the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. teachers that conduct says a testing center teacher who tested positive had to wait 2 weeks for her results i don't deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so and fit in the country could go back into defacto knock

down once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lock down there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lock down by default it's not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene necessities nearly a 3rd of teachers didn't know if they'd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides in every classroom it's left parents to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves don't seem all that convinced her mission is to keep schools open. clear of they have to be safe environments and one of the findings in speaking back is that you know. i'm self-taught on these. it's eccentricity versus think you stance would not remind the average we need to

test it they need to improve it and obviously we've been seeing these which can. new in the police prefects of paris is accused of breaking the law after allegedly ordering the preventative arrest of suspected yellow vest activists according to recently released documents detailing instructions for checking people arriving in the french capital seems officers were apparently told for arrest individuals who much to 3rd profile and to confiscate any objects that could potentially be used as weapons they're also ordered to carry out aidid checks and vehicle searches the orders were apparently 1st issued back in 2090 under french law though preventative detention is illegal human rights groups are outraged by the revelations. this is very serious we have documented the fact that thousands of people have been arrested and sometimes prosecuted without having committed any violent act which obstruct their right to peaceful protest when the revelation comes as yellow 1st

protests in france return after the covert lockdown we brought you the pictures the last few days the movement initially began in late 2018 as a recap in protest over fuel price hikes and high living costs many of the rallies have resulted in violence thousands of demonstrators and police officers have been injured along the way and over a dozen people have lost their lives we spoke to one french lawyer who told us that preventative arrests lead to in this and people being detained. for the next scientists says the start of the yellow vests movement protestors have been facing the problem of preventing progress and body searches what does it mean in general how do you put add a fire all over the flames therefore you preventively take away some people from the demonstration either before the start of the demonstration all right at the moment crowds start form people are being chosen randomly and anyone can be detained without reason by the way some have been detained for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time and later 10 ad they had nothing to do with that

movement at all france is a rest and pretrial detention system has been tense and it's had law enforcement officers busy the principle that a person will do something even without any wrongdoing if you're sitting on a bench a few meters from where a demonstration is a bad start it is supposed to illegally join the rally and then turn violent but for the latest in the newsroom so far check out so much more from us now to dot com or any of our social media for get a minute today for the reporting from moscow this those day kevin are in the team wishing you a great day. when else seems wrong. one old rule just. to me you get to shape out just to come out to it and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. to get the bill really to sneer those who really can show you. think it's just the suit but. that would that i suppose you noticed us they have something that. no numbers stupina bull episode. good to see you sure the. sneer during your force wake would be near my stubbornness today if not thoughts about spirit i'd be doing was more experienced than you know. if de gea crew will.
