thank. you for jumping to conclusions with little regard for the truth for european lawmakers passed a resolution. against opposition figurehead. claiming on social media he was poisoned in his hotel room in the. we will assess possible. new twist in a decade long. between russia. and the polish presidential plane crash in 2010 western russia. extraditing the earth traffic controllers.

that young americans don't know how many people died in the whole. of. this chapter in. broadcasting live from the russian capital every hour of the day is your r.t. international ever you are tuning in from across the globe and welcome. the european parliament's adopted a resolution calling for more sanctions to be slapped on russia in response to the alleged poisoning attempt made against opposition figurehead alexina only responded by saying many politicians in the bloc are all too happy to pass premise your judgment before any due process has been conducted. the nature of the latest

statements coming out of brussels makes us think that our western partners are not interested in stablished of the truth i should imagine how that common sense will prevail on the un the end so much and our partners will dish the practice of arbitrarily attributing blame and we'll make conclusions based on real and confirmed facts of the informant and their people or our teams peter all of our homes more on the vote in the european parliament and the ramifications of it 532 m. e p's voting in favor of this resolution 84 'd against with 72 abstentions what it could result in 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 your state but 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 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 well moscow is still saying burleson must share with them the evidence that is behind the claims alexei navalny was poisoned asserting if we consider any talk about how proper it would be to name the sanctions regime after in the valley to be a brazen attempt to imbue the new the restrictions with obviously anti russian tendencies and all this comes our offer us to berlin to try to investigate what happened or ignore it under some meta pretexts kremlin spokesperson dmitri press corps was also talking about nord stream too he says it's a purely commercial project and shouldn't be tied to anything political or diplomatic that's ongoing it was a similar feeling from russia's permanent representative to the european union he said that the north stream 2 pipeline 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 it's all they know stream 2 pipeline would go ahead of 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 correspondent peter all over well german m.e.p. marks a 1000000 cry who took part in thursday's vote believes what we're seeing here is really part of a wider political strategy targeting russia. no one of ticked off 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 absolutely clear that this is another chance to to push at the end russian agenda i followed that debate especially concerning all 3 and 2 in the european american parliamentary delegation. and i are always when we meet asked the us ambassador why did they do illegal 3rd party sanctions and the answer is always the same or go on and to 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 our nuclear incident it occurred with missile and bonnie is such an

opportunity to push the own again and so it was clear from the beginning that this chance would be use alexina found me who is not conscious recovering from his suspected poisoning and has been posting on instagram about what he believes happened to him according to a new video on its accompanying text a water bottle with a trace of the novacek nerve agent was found in his hotel room in the city of thompson his colleagues say bay took the bottle as evidence just then hour after novell these alleged poisoning came to light r t z l of has been looking at the claim. this is it amateur footage shot in imax in the valleys room according to his supporters about an hour. after the russian opposition figure started showing the 1st symptoms of the poisoning and the 1st thing that jumps at the viewer is that all these people in the room normally it is

advised to wear more protective gear to protect oneself from covert and this here they were potentially dealing with a military grade nerve agent and look at that only some of them wearing as much as late exe gloves many people in the room aren't wearing anything and they are saying that at that time they were dealing with no be chock one of the most deadliest nerve agents out there in the world 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 stick 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 confirms that novelli was poisoned with it now we understand this was done before he left his room to go to the airport. this video seems to raise more questions

than provide answers 1st and foremost how that particular bottle and all the this evidence all these things were transferred from moscow to berlin there have been some unconfirmed reports that apparently a special rescue plane took all the valleys belongings from that room to berlin for instance election of ali could simply choose not to drink from anything provided by the many by his hotel i mean there was there was up to up to him there were 3 bottles in the video we can see that the right least 3 separate bottles and election of chose to drink from that particular one also there were no guarantees that somebody else from election of only one to raj wouldn't drink from that bottle and so the alleged perpetrator the potential perpetrator could end up with a whole heap of bodies when it comes to the bottle all that we know is that it was released with with this with this agent but mind that there are several agents that

nobody is a family it's not one particular like a drug or anything it's a deadly nerve agent but in fact it's a group of 7 binary chemical weapons so 7 they're different they work differently some of them work slower than others some work rapidly can take up as little as 30 seconds for a person to show 1st symptoms of not feeling well after being poisoned with no recheck other circle of the foreign ministry has already praised russian doctors because it was the russian medics who who provided election of ali with 1st aid. some of our western colleagues wrote that in the valley was saved by a miracle allegedly it was this new tourist no joke with the russian citizen managed to survive thanks to a happy coincidence what is this happening the interest as you said the impeccable work of our pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence elizabeth you don't even admit that we act. it in

a proper way to your world but this family of no breach of nerve agents got into public spotlight during the events in salzburg during the alleged poisoning of sergei scruple and his daughter and what jumps out is the striking difference as to how the investigators in the u.k. handled that situation and the supporters of election of ali just look at the protective gear worn by the investigators in the u.k. to the right and while literally almost nothing when it comes to people who were dealing with a potentially even deadly nerve agent in the russian city of tomsk i'm talking about the supporters of alexina valley of course people are wearing more protective gear to defend themselves against covert and here they're dealing again with a potentially military grade nerve agent so hopefully down the line as the investigation goes on all these questions will be answered we got the chance to speak to all of the creators of the. chalk nerve agent leonid rink who believes if

the substance was used not only would never made it to this plane in the 1st place . it would be found he wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that's if it was no majok and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller not very toxic doses provokes pupil contraction in such a way a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure it wouldn't have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we can't see any of the symptoms of poisoning and novacek a not worse to use for this case. richard that you would read they definitely would get something they had just simple surgical gloves and that's it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be

a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the sides creating a dangerous situation for everyone. should walk through. if they wanted to poison yvel the why would russia decide to use their own product russia just like every developed country as many types of different dangerous substances developed in many different countries so this view that russians are stupid and took from the stock of the last dusty expired novacek is pointless. russia says it won't extradite to poland 3 earth traffic controllers who are working on the day of the event polish president a fatal plane crash in 2010 a kremlin spokesperson said the move would not be permitted under russian law it comes after an investigative group from the polish prosecutor general's office applied to get a court motion to have the russian citizens temporarily arrested the charges

against the air traffic controllers concerned the deliberate provocation of a plane crash resulting in the deaths of many people. the tragedy happened in april 2010 in western russia where the polish president was heading for an official visit a plane crashed while trying to land a mid 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 but the actions of the pilots ultimately led to the crush or ever later warsaw said serious mistakes were made by our traffic controllers to. in fact in 2017 polish prosecutors accuse those russian air traffic controllers of deliberately causing the crash then a 2nd polish commission claimed there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground and director of the crisis research center mark alman believes

politics still plays a central role in the long running case. this is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution authorities are political appointees 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 accuse its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot it's highly unlikely that parnes to to 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 moscow. ignorance. of the full story in 1000. over the last 3 presidential election cycles there is clear evidence voters are attracted to the message of not interventionism and are very weary but. this is most certainly true in 2065 his time in office is spotty at best now appears to embrace the same. as bush and obama i guess he believes will fundamentally change.

seemed wrong. well we just don't. get to see palin this day become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . let's start back with a story that's got a lot of people talking today a new survey has found there is a stunning lack of knowledge about the horrors of the holocaust among young adult americans the research was conducted in all 50 states and found among 18 to 39 year

olds most didn't know millions of jews were murdered in the concentration camps while levon percent believed it was the jews themselves not the nazis were behind the atrocities whoever majority did agree it was important to learn about the events to ensure their never repeated that holocaust education should be compulsory we asked young people in new york what they had learned about it in their history classes. i mean if you couple 1000000000. people died and i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was. 6000000 people. the exact number but it. was 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. during the 2nd world war the

nazis were collaborators set up more than 40000 concentration camps the ghettos in alone almost a 1000000 curious people were slaughtered while 2 thirds of all of europe's jews were wiped out holocaust expert mark shulman believes the u.s. 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 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 a history of 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 about you know more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative it's sensible way. the protests against alleged racial injustice witnessed over the last few months are the costliest ever in u.s. history that's according to a report by the country's say insurance industry the even surpass the financial losses incurred from such natural disasters as this year's california wildfires the

largest the state has seen. throughout. the. let's welcome onto the program now u.s. national security coleman titter on legal analyst jennifer to muster jennifer good to see you all of course the financial aspects of what is happening is just one

side of things but it is a significant one how surprised are you thought the block lives matter protests have come at such a cost. i'm not surprised at all but let's get one thing very clear black lives matter does not at all care about all black lives and black lives matter has been usurped it is been completely infiltrated in taken over by and who is actually engaging in terrorist incitement and violence and riots these are not peaceful protests this is actually an insurgency department of justice has stated that this is this is amounting to sedition and dishes acts and so groups that are affiliated with anti thought under the guise of black lives matter peaceful protests are not what they are appearing to seem and this is incredibly dangerous it is not at all surprising that the damage amounts of been so incredibly high. figures when you look through it in fact previously it's only been traill design a. 1000000000 dollars in terms of damage costs but this year's racial unrest

rallies are expected to cost about double about do you think that the issues they're going to register with people when they look around and see the damage done by covert for instance that so much money will have to be spent on doing the damage that's being dull. hopefully people are starting to wake up and see that i mean certainly the money that needs to be spent the businesses that have been completely destroyed small businesses black american businesses minority businesses all small businesses of all american citizens together people's lives have been completely destroyed not only by the shutdowns from coal that which again federal judges are ruling were unconstitutional shutdowns of the economy shutdowns of people's lives but now inciting violence and protests this is not about george floyd this is not about his his death or what has happened there this has now morphed into something that is far bigger it's all coming up on the 2020 alexion and people are waking up and starting to realize that especially when our neighborhoods and our communities

are being threatened to such a substantial degree and it is very noteworthy that the attorney general bill barr has now come out stating that the u.s. is starting to look at sedition whether these anti feel like these violent rioters protestor groups these extremist groups which do not have anything to do with civil rights and have completely usurped civil rights movements are now sedition because it's just conspiracy under 18 u.s.c. 2384 is far reaching and all those that have been culpable or part of this even if they were engaged in violence are going to go down those ringback at the moment jennifer that we're on the edge for a precipice here whether authorities actually start getting tough on leaders of these states these communities start doing something because you know it's not just the the rallies that we're seeing the climate change activism before this the year before that something else our financial losses caused by these protest movements

is it just becoming the new norm can anything be done. i think things have to be done how we have to start drawing those lines there have to be lines because we do in the united states we value freedom of expression the freedom to protest to peacefully assemble the freedom to protest and to speak your opposition whether it's to a large to government authority but that has to be done peacefully even martin luther king jr himself always engaged in peaceful protests they were never supposed to break the law where that line has become blurred is when it becomes violent not only as violence being carried out against law enforcement against police officers but violence carried out against businesses destruction of property loss of lives which the media in america is completely ignoring and so that's where we need to start setting those lines and having a strong department of justice here and i think attorney general is making a good making some good statements and we're going to see what happens because people are being indicted but we need to see that there is a line between freedom of assembly expression and speech and violence and

destruction of property and destruction of lives murder and that's what we need to start seeing that line again we need to start seeing that justice but another problem again is these local district attorneys and portland and some of these cities these are democratic or these left many district attorneys would place in their and their offices that are letting some of these people engaged in violence go there letting them free they're not charging them that's what we need to start seeing is equal justice under the law for all of those who are charging to make sure that they're not released to continue perpetuating the same kinds of actions the thoughts of jennifer to muster u.s. national security coleman chitter a legal analyst live on the program function for you. for this news hour but the updates keep coming with the top before they were all set across to some more great programs so touch caesar.

i. thought it was supposed to some of us. but i. know it was posted. last time we chased. each one of them carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs. forced a fence down. that they just stepped right. into the frame we have maintained the monocle men they believe they have this is the this is for me. even if. i don't see a porno maybe they'll get

a make or. break right. now more. welcome for the alex salmond's you were. our eyes turned north to scotland on the eve of the 6 anniversary of the country's independence referendum in 2014 scotland

voted not only against independence but latest polls show that majority opinion has now swung in favor today rather than just look at the politics of another referendum yes says the scottish parliament nor says a prime minister we focused on the cultural underpinning of the scottish bullets and this through the work of one of scotland's most famous artists the creative general to the last 30 years and more of scottish life and in particular his portraiture has captured some of the most influential players on the sporting political and cultural stage from cotton bar to alan cumming to neil lennon. to michael mcdonald to brian cook's corner and referendum scotland these are both more than often but 1st to alex with your tweets mess just add to email. there was a big response to last week's show with emma kenny who's probably britain's best known psychologist because of a t.v. work under nor for says it's

a pair but gripping conversation with the psychologist i want to most attractive features that she is open and debates with her of us so after emma replied under says you're more than welcome it was a very different refreshing perspective therapeutic and it was rational and sensible in the middle of all if there's anxiety and trauma so high praise indeed from. nicole says. they feel trapped for all those they feel liberated is hard to quantify the outcome overall but that's a long road ahead. says it's not just a mental health crisis anything that isn't covered is being ignored in treatment delayed despite hospitals being empty. mental health is very important and it's people who think otherwise who are part of the problem. disagree she says the secular center view. she says.
