and us politicians are angry after it's revealed 'd an american firm provided the technology used to shut down the internet during the disputed presidential election in belarus. thursday the 17th of september live from artie's world news age q you're in moscow one is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes for the latest update for you thanks for tuning to us today then 1st the european parliament voting right now on the 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. has the latest. what this resolution does is it calls on russia to cooperate with an investigation into what happened to alexina valley to provide immediate and full disclosure of the nova

chuck 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 choose day the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs yossef barel that's basically the e.u. 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 were 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 it's well action against russia needs to be taken and

to those 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 in georgia and in ukraine in syria and saulsbury and an election meddling around the violent. and this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that what moscow is still demanding the evidence berlin says backs up its claims that alexina valmy 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 dispute. we strongly disagree with such a statement it seems

a deliberate misunderstanding or an unconscious misunderstanding of what really happens to the patient in berlin it 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 to kill each. of those a similar message coming from russia's permanent 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 condition the man at the center of all of this alexina violently his condition is said to be improving he remains here in berlin receiving treatment at the shallot a hospital political commentator says some in the e.u. are intend the one putting an end to the big pipeline project. in the background

lobbyists from the u.s. and poland where it rests in. peace. because the polish want to play the european union and especially the germans so that they can get a little the europe the arms and the 2nd is the polish one that will fly from poland to denmark and the last of to stop so in the background there are many many law yes working the more or less corrupt politicians to start this war germany it would be a nightmare it would be embarrassing if nothing else everybody has to go down there was russia because there is the market of the future americans already tried the french already tried it you and all the others would go to one of the scooters.

joe biden 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 iraq instead of iraq and it's not the 1st gulf of the kind either. u.s. troops died in a rare and afghanistan iran parliament iran's parliament voted to reject all americans and coalition forces in the country we tried it in iraq is not working for an hour and a try i mean in iran and scuse me we tried in ukraine i mean you know someone who has been injured or lost in iraq and iran. let me tell you something. we. are. it's that conflict in iraq that joe biden has been widely criticized for playing a key role in authorizing back in 2002 at the time he chaired the u.s. congress foreign relations committee and chose all 18 pro-war witnesses in the main

congress hearings on iraq is later turned out of course the iraqi leader saddam hussein neither had weapons of mass destruction or ties to world qaida by a conservative estimate more than 4500 u.s. soldiers and the same number of contractors to 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 vote 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 1988 about iraq and weapons of mass destruction he'd be a little be a scouting boy he said people above my pay grade were making this decision that cetera and then he met with me it 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 more witnesses 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 voted 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 raw raw go go military when you are you know there's not a single non political combat veteran who's going to give joe biden a pass on this one joe biden has 0 credibility when it comes to talking about of the military talking about war above all talking about sacrifice he literally has

no credibility it doesn't resonate. he has a u.s. politicians angry after it was revealed that an american company provided the technology that was used to shut down the internet during the disputed presidential election in belarus the firm since terminated his contract with the by the russian government citing human rights violations on his double court has got 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 agreement to send mine takes human rights abuses very seriously but also that 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 in brutal political wrists 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 belarus 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 good question. meantime some one else who is

concerned about human rights in belarus is of course the exiled opposition leaders for lower ticket of sky in a new op ed in the washington post she urges her supporters to keep on demonstrating in striking and she also wants the international community to pile the pressure on president alexander lukashenko until he's ousted 2 we as a nation have passed the point of no return look at china has no future as leader of this country and it is only a question of time until he leaves power or 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 that law and 2nd oscar also insists she is the real president of belarus challenging the results of august selection she says analysis by several independent groups shows the vote was rigged to put looking shanker in front you spoke to. your faiza global global affairs expert he says he was left unimpressed by taken over sky's recent op

ed. mysis chicano studies are of this symbol of. 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 youths are in favor of not so much miss just got off their chest against the present day leadership. and i think that it is sit at the levels of they are sort of a syrian one you know they knew that conditional i wouldn't be too close attention

to them as well as to the entire thing called the mrs suit you can also get a lot of his main things diplomatic relations with all major western powers. that be and obviously. credited in minsk and they have to have some. relationships with the fishes otherwise it would for there are probably. google logo and it's a matter of time well more details 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 that has already reached its highest point may be subsiding of course

the. you will share. this. with the. will of caldwell me also with. some global news a brief starting in spain their police unions are rallying against what they say is madrid's in action over officers taking their own lives the protests are also condemning the spanish prime minister for offering his condolences to the family of a terrorist who recently committed suicide in prison. in the u.s. state of oregon 800000 acres of land have been destroyed by wildfires mass evacuations there of seeing tens of thousands of people flee the ash and smoke 8 people have reportedly died dozens still missing wildfires have ravaged several western u.s. states this year causing record damage and it's not over yet asylum seekers in morea have set up tents now as best they can near supermarkets throughout the

island of lesbos as greek authorities struggle to relocate them to a temporary camp the previous one of course so graphically burnt down last week we brought you those pictures awful police arrested for afghan migrants on suspicion of involvement in the incident thanks choosing a 16 past one moscow time this is r t coming up ignorance about the holocaust among young americans to spark concern after a survey found most didn't know how many jewish lives that plane. very mechanisms of neural plasticity that enable stretch to get under the skin and to have a negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms in the foreign

ministry do good to promote resilience to promote flourishing. seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me to get to shape out of disdain become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. 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.

as mentioned before the break then a new survey is found that a significant number of young americans don't know very much about the holocaust during the 2nd world war the research was conducted in 50 states and found that among 18 to 39 year olds most of them don't know how many jews were murdered by the nazis almost a half of respondents could not name a single concentration camp but the most troubling of all 11 percent blamed the jews themselves for the holocaust however the majority of those surveyed did also agree that it was important to learn about the holocaust when sure it never happened again and that holocaust education should be compulsory in schools we asked young people in new york what they'd learned about it in their history lessons billions of jews skype i mean you start couple 1000000000. people died i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was the kind that i made even more 6000000 people. follow exactly but it is. a good deal but i actually am running out.

christiane i know it's a. pretty big game day rate it's weird like now it's kind of like there's a conspiracy theorists that think it didn't happen according to people behind the survey the nazis in the collaborators set up over 40000 concentration camps and get as 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 overall on the coast expert mark children says the u.s. education system is they feel failing students. the reality is the american americans generally american youth for 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

a 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 2nd there they teach history and that's the reality of a 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 the violence but again it's not only the holocaust it's of course the american revolution the cold war make you a bet that if you asked people what the battle of stalingrad was in the united states these same kids about you know more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative. smith sensible way. and the other covert headache the shortage of testing in the u.k.

has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools their pupils and star for among those struggling to get checked as our correspondent lisa rally reports. 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 the 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 1000 in the alarm but a chronic lack of testing facilities means that i'd occasionally england make way

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 hold of social distancing isn't possible in fall 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 completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco 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 stuff and pupils couldn't book 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 thirty's the

knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. but teachers that can't access a testing center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i don't deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one you need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown 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 were end up with a return to lock down by default. it's not just with regard to the testing 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

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 keep schools open and clear of. violence and what will the army since be back. you know. and it's as we know it's tracy vs thing you say it's really not reminding them that they have a duty we need they need. and obviously we've been seeing these which. the police prefect 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 officers were apparently told to arrest individuals who marched

a thug profile and confiscate any objects then that could potentially be used as weapons they are also ordered to carry out identity checks and vehicle searches the orders were probably 1st issued back in 2019 by the previous prefect but the since been renewed under french law although 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. the revelation comes as yellow vests protest in france return after the covert lot of the movement initially began in late 2018 as a recap in protest over fuel price hikes and high living costs in this developed since many of the rallies have resulted in violence thousands of demonstrators and police officers have been injured and over a dozen people have lost their lives we spoke to one french lawyer who says that preventative arrests do lead to innocent people being detained. a

scientist says the start of the yellow vests movement protestors have been facing the problem of preventive arrests and body searches what does it mean in general how do you put out 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 it later turned ad they had nothing to do with the movement at all france has a vested pretrial detention system has been turned on its head law enforcement office is 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 well thanks check in on this today that's where things are looking so far this coming up
