presidential plane crash. you're a true. presidential.

thanks for joining us. welcome to the program. other european parliament's adopted a resolution calling for even more sanctions to be slapped on russia in response to the alleged assassination attempt against opposition figurehead alexei navalny russia's foreign minister has responded by saying many politicians in the block are all too happy to pass a promised your judgment well before any due process has been conducted. any discussions about the naming of the sanctions mechanisms are seen as an unhidden attempt of given in the mornings you your restrictions and you and to russian sentimental nature while at the same time that our proposals to berlin to conduct

a joint investigation of the incident are continuing to be ignored the meat of pretexts the nature of the statements made in brussels makes one think there are all western partners do not wish to find out the troops while the action goals are to support the information pain unleashed in the european union in order to ensure that the european destructive course against russia becomes irreversible peter all of us has more on today's vote in the european parliament and what it could mean in future. $532.00 m. e p's voting in favor of this resolution $84.00 'd against with $72.00 abstentions what it could result in a is asset freezes travel bans another sanctions against those that are featured in alexei navalny zante corruption videos could also lead to they also want to see an

international probe into what happened to alexa in a volley when they talk about an international probe that's including the united nations the european union the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and others all to be on side with that and it talks about blocking the construction of nord stream to the gas pipeline that takes russian gas or will take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany earlier this week we heard from us about l. the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs saying that wasn't within the remit of the e.u. institutions to do he said it would be up to the individual member states that are involved in the project if they were to council out call it off block it in any way or just temporarily suspend it however we have heard from the e.u. commission president saying now is the time for action and to those that advocate 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 then election meddling around the world. and this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that where moscow is still saying burlington must share with them the evidence that is behind the claims alexei navalny was poisoned kremlin spokesperson dmitri press corps was also talking about north stream too he says it's a purely commercial project and shouldn't be tied to anything political or diplomatic that's ongoing. we strongly disagree with such a statement it seems a deliberate misunderstanding or an 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 to cuba early germany it was a similar feeling from russia's permanent representative to the european union he said that the north stream to project came about because of the european union and in particular germany's need for gas a commercial need for that gas that still exists and that's why in his opinion he thought the north stream to the pipeline would go ahead as it being planned well alexina valley the man at the center of all of this in his alleged poisoning is said to be recovering in the hospital he's still being treated out here in berlin earlier this week we heard from the hospital saying that he was now able to leave his bed for short periods of time. german i mean be maximally and took part in today's vote believe this is part of a greater plot against russia. no one of the of the members of parliament who today

. voted in favor of sanctions has seen any evidence. for a for a campaign or for a political way if you don't need that evidence at least not in the european parliament so i don't expect that you get that evidence but the same people who say we don't give you the evidence will tell you we have we expect from russia to investigate it was not realistic it was absolutely clear that this is a not a chance to to push at the end tire russian agenda i followed at the bait especially concerning all 3 into the european american polymer intruder legation are. always when we made off the us ambassador why'd they do illegal 3rd party sanctions and the answer is always the same or government will do everything it can to stop that project and if you have a clear goal to stop

a project then you take every possibility you get to do so and of course that unclear or incident it occurred with a missile or bonnie is such an opportunity to push the own again and so it was clear from the beginning that this chance would be used. well it's a collection of concerts and recovering from his ordeal has been posted on instagram about his poisoning according to a new video and its accompanying text of water water with a trace of the nerve agent was filed in a room in tomsk his colleagues say they took a bottle as evidence just an hour that all these poisoning came to light let's bring our correspondent igor's dollar who is in the studio with me to shed some more light on what's been going on thanks for coming in what can you what more can you tell us about this video does it shed any light on what's been a pretty contentious and confusing series of well i won't go as far as saying that

it sheds any light but it is a very interesting piece that we can show to you right now and our view is this is the video and sensually these colleagues in his hotel room and going through his stuff as you've said our. first symptoms of the poisoning and interestingly how they the way they put it they just decided to enter alexina volleys room and to collect anything that they believed could potentially help out researches and investigators in the future but again we don't know anything about whether or not any of those there's no indication if any of the people that you're looking at right now they have a degree in toxicology or have had any training as to how to handle potentially hazardous things and as you can see in the video many people aren't wearing any protective gear as far as they go they just wear gloves and they're trying to keep

keep whatever start whatever stuff they're holding in their hands as far as we're far away from themselves as possible this in itself is very very dangerous especially if you are handling a military grade nerve agent but according to the post on election of only his facebook page they believe that this is how he got poisoned. there was no specific hope of finding anything like that but since it was absolutely clear. to us that the valley was not just slightly ill and didn't have heat stroke it was decided to take everything that could be hypothetically useful in some way and pass it over to the doctors in germany 2 weeks later the german laboratory found traces of novacek on the bottle from the tomsk room and then 2 more laboratories that took tests from alexei confirmed that novelli was poisoned with it now we understand this was done before he left his room to go to the airport. now this post and this video together they raise a lot of questions 1st and foremost how did they manage to deliver this bottle with

a military grade nerve agent from moscow to berlin did they just put it into into somebodies luggage and flew it with a regular line how's that possible how did that how did that not and up with more bodies with more with more injured and sick people also them handling this handling this in the room in such a lax manner also raises a lot of questions and the very scenario of somebody planting a bottle laced with with no reach up again it doesn't look very doesn't look very solid because imagine if election of only didn't drink out of that bottle or didn't drink out of the bottle that was in the mini bar imagine if somebody else did so the potential the potential perpetrators could end up with a whole heap of bodies and sick people just because election of ali didn't touch the bottle and because somebody else did and so on and so forth so would you have right now is just imagine the chances of election of ali and just him drinking out

of the bottle and only him falling sick but apparently this is what happened according to his supporters. of course raised also that. the substance of its recall was the lot of us very familiar with it because of those allegations about the screwball poisoning last year or what do you know about the substance that germans are saying the valley was allegedly poisoned with well so far all we know is that it is from this group called novae chalk but it can be very different chemicals are very different they're all of the same family but this one apparently according to the german research is this one is one of the most powerful and even according to russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who by the way he doesn't he hasn't yet said he hasn't agreed with the version of the german medics but just looking at the. at the state of the comatose state that lurks in the valley found himself shortly after being poisoned. excuse me sergei lavrov called out

a miracle. but some of our western colleagues wrote than the valley was saved by a miracle allegedly it was this new tourist novacek with a russian citizen managed to survive thanks to a happy coincidence what is this happy coincidence as you say the impeccable work for pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence they don't even admit that we acted in a proper way or so and again you've brought up these cells brew poisoning and it goes to show just how much the agent that was used back in salisbury quoting to the german to the german researchers wasn't as deadly as the one the election of ali was exposed to but just look and compare as to how much protective gear the people were the investigators in the u.k. when the screwball poisoning happened and how much protective gear the people in

tom's collection of only supporters are wearing and apparently none of them handling this military grade nerve agent none of them got sick so again i'd say this raises a lot of questions and certainly hoping that these questions will be answered to the absolute level of the art of history of course on that evidence of your alice is being shared by germany with russia with a b c w. if there were the latest exit before going to. the russia says it won't extradite to poland 3 air traffic controllers who are working on a day over the polish president's plane crash on russian territory in 2010 a problem spokesman said the move would not be possible on the russian law after an investigative group from the polish prosecutor general's office applied to get a court motion of the russian citizens temporarily arrested. the charges against the air traffic control is considered the deliberate provocation of a plane crash resulting in the deaths of many people or the tragedy that took place

back in april 2010 in western russia where the polish president was heading to pay an official visit the plane crashed while trying to land a bit of fog and generally poor weather conditions all those on board including the president's wife and other senior polish officials and citizens were killed separate investigations by both russia and poland came to similar conclusions that the actions of pilots led to the crash part and also noted mistakes by russian air traffic controllers. now in 2017 polish prosecutors accuse the russian air traffic controllers of deliberately causing the crash later a 2nd polish commission claim there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground the rector of the cross' research center mark element believes politics still plays a central role in the long running case. this is a highly politicized event and of course the police prosecution authorities are political appointees so it's not a so this is a kind of scientific show. i think all the evidence sadly tragically is that it was

an accident and accident will be very high profile figures from the president of poland down to former solidarity activists and that made it a highly emotional and disastrous development but it and it's also been a poisonous development inside polish politics because of course the present government accuses its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot it was highly unlikely that prince to do skin so and his colleagues were serving the interests of russia they were quite quite critical of president putin's policies many areas but it's a sign of how this issue and this attitude towards russia has become an internal battle in poland as much as a geopolitical battle between warsaw and moscow. and european parliament spin over the situation in belarus the e.u. welcome the belorussian opposition coordination council and call for a fresh election moscow says brussels is a no position to call the shots and says mediation is the only option and the

latest. well so far it doesn't mean very much because it is a recommendation the european parliament doesn't have any legislative power at all you know power to enact or enforce its resolutions they're more a recommendation for the european council which is made up of the heads of states of the european union and what they recommend is that the european union the heads of states the european council seriously consider sanctions sanctions against the russian president alexander who could think of sanctions against those who supported him those who continue to support him even sanctions against russian officials and citizens who they believe supported president they've also determined . but the election was unfair they don't recognize his legitimacy and once his term is up they will no longer recognize him as the legitimate president of better or saying that the elections that took place in august in belarus happened in flagrant

violation of the laws electoral laws and international norms moreover they have decided to recognize the opposite opposition coordination council committee as the representatives of the better russian people which may seem odd because most of its members original members have fled the country one maria kolesnik of a is in jail here and in minsk and she is being she's being accused and charged with trying to seize power and destabilize their worst. nevertheless the european parliament has recommended that the european council recognize the year coordination council as the legitimate representative body temporary body of the better russian people at the council itself the committee has stated very goals from deposing of the president president to merely organizing new elections lithuania by the way had previously also recognized the north of one of the rivals

running against president lukashenko during the election as the legitimate representative of the better russian people as as was mentioned earlier you know protests still continuing we see on the weekends thousands upon thousands of people marching down the streets of minsk chanting for the president president hu to reside but we've also seen somewhat of a slow down there less and less spontaneous protest during the during the week days this week that have been hardly any public trite godard's the cold war by the opposition yesterday was a failure they cool didn't people and businesses to shut down for people to not go to work that was a failure on. about a dozen people joined into this walkout joined into this protest so that you know there is there is a market slowdown in this protest mood better or worse. well

he's been called out for free quoting making gaffes on the campaign trail joe biden's confuse the raw and the rock when talking to veterans about where they fought. u.s. troops died in a room in afghanistan. parliament iran's parliament voted to reject all americans and coalition forces in the country we try to do now in iraq is not working so now we're going to try i mean in iran and scuse me driving you crazy i mean you know someone who has been injured or lost in america. let me tell you something. we. well it's that particular conflict in iraq that joe biden's been widely criticized for playing a key role in authorizing back in 2002 at the time each share the u.s. congress foreign relations committee and shows all 18 pro-war witnesses in the main hearings on iraq it later turned out the iraqi leader saddam hussein neither how to

weapons of mass destruction or ties to al qaeda or a conservative estimate more than 4 half 1000 u.s. soldiers and the same number of contractors lost their lives in the invasion. of former u.s. marine corps engines officer scott ritter claimed he was ridiculed for briefing biden about the absence of any weapons of mass destruction. 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 1908 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 that cetera 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. 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 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 the military talking about war above all talking about sacrifice he literally has no credibility it doesn't resonate. and the vice found out again americans don't know that much about the holocaust the research was conducted in 50 states and found among 18 to 39 year olds most don't know millions of jews were murdered by the

nazis almost hoff couldn't name a single concentration camp while 11 percent believe the jews themselves were behind the holocaust. when a majority did agree however it was important to learn about the event to ensure its never repeated and the holocaust as occasions should be compulsory well simply put in new york what they had learned about it in the history classes. millions of jews i mean jews died a couple 1000000000. people died and i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was. 6000000 people. the exact number but it is a. good deal but i can remember anything. pretty big game it's weird like now it's kind of like there's a conspiracy theorists that think it didn't happen. just to remind you that all collaborators set up more than 40000 concentration camps and get to 0 in the 2nd

world war now switzerland almost a 1000000 jews were slaughtered at 2 thirds of all europe's jews were wiped out holocaust expert mark shulman believes the us education system is 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 perfunctory history classes in high school you know the average history teacher is called not called him mr history or history person or so 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

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 events but again it's not only the holocaust it's of course the american revolution the cold war make you 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. the shortage of covert testing in the u.k. so led to teachers questioning school safety if you will install for among those struggling to get checked with more details here. it wasn't so long ago that seamier 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 already 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 are founding the alarm but a chronic lack of testing facilities means that you can't have an england make going to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home schooled manage lives have been doing everything they jam but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of 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

when 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 or rather 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 the tests locally 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. the teachers that conduct testing center the 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 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 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 lockdown by default it's not just with regards 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 as 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 misused to keep schools open and clear but they have to be violent and one of the fun things. is that you know. i'm self-taught and it's as we know

it's eccentricity versus think you stance we're not remind you know they have a duty we need to test it they need to improve it and obviously we've been seeing these which. as they say discuss just how effective plastic recycling is that really changing our habits but he went back at 6 pm moscow time to bring the latest news updates join us again. very neck in islam some plasticity that enables stretch to get under the skin and to have a negative effect on their mind in our body those same very mechanisms can be

harnessed for good good so the resilience to promote flourishing. a new gold rush is underway and gunna thousands of ill equipped workers off flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as by those that work children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. max kaiser this is the kaiser report yeah everybody's gaslighting everybody

corporations are gaslighting here central banks are gaslighting you if you understand what gaslighting is you know that it's not pleasant it's rude it's downright rude. yeah you know how everybody gets triggered at the slightest slight at the slightest bad word on twitter people get triggered and you must be platform to kick it out of your job like this this notion of hiding bad things like the the business cycle goes up and then it goes down we don't like down anymore so we've tried to banish it and make it disappear the same thing with much of our all the chemicals and efficiency you know all the corn we produced based on efficiency and by removing all the protein from it there's all these costs that add up in the end but we just pretend not to look at it we just look at the positive side right don't be such a negative downer look at all the corn we have because of our efficiency gains were .
