it. was and. it. will go slams the e.u. for jumping to conclusions with quote little regard for the truth just after european lawmakers passed a resolution for tougher sanctions on russia alleging there was a clear plan to the nation attempt against opposition figurehead elected in the film me. to have found himself is claiming on social media he was poisoned at his hotel room in the siberian city of homs we'll assess how possible that could be. has been a new twist in a decade long war songs are between russia and poland to look back on the polish presidential plane crash in 2010 the western russia has lost her group will start extraditing the air traffic controllers on duty that day. they

find most young and old american who don't know how many people died in the hole are called while one in 10 even thought it was the jews not the nazis who carried out the millions of killings. to. a very warm welcome to you watching r.t. international with me here airing 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 found a moscow responded by saying many politicians of the blog are all too happy to polish premature judgement before any due process has been conducted. the nature of the latest statements coming out of brussels several makes us think that our western partners are not interested in stablished of the true issue them home it's common sense will prevail on the un the end and our partners will dish the practice

of arbitrarily attributing blame and make conclusions based on real and confirmed facts and the informant. of a have 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 and other 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 the valley 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 held 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 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 in ukraine in syria and south ferry and an 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 a valley to be a brazen attempt imbued the need the restrictions with obviously anti russian tendencies and all these companies are offering us to berlin to try to investigate what happened are ignored under some made of pretexts kremlin spokesperson dmitri press corps was also talking about nord stream too he says it's a putin commercial project and shouldn't be tied to anything political or diplomatic that's ongoing there 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. german m.e.p. maximillian cryer who took part in thursday's votes believes what we're seeing is part of a wider political strategy targeting russia. know one of the of the members of parliament who today. voted in favor of sanctions has seen any evidence. for. 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 a not

a chance to to push the enter russian agenda i followed the debate especially concerning all 3 and 2 in the european american parliamentary delegation are from and i'll always when we ask the u.s. ambassador wyden the illegal 3rd party sanctions and the answer's always the same or go on and view 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 there are nuclear incident that occurred with missile avani is such an opportunity to push the own again. and so it was clear from the beginning. this chance would be used and actually never found a use now conscious and recovering from this is back to point think has been

posting on instagram about what he believes happened to him according to a new video and its accompanying text a water bottle with a trace of the novacek nerve agent was found in his hotel room in the city of tomsk his colleagues say they took the bottle as evidence just an hour after these alleged poisoning came to light are done of has been looking at the clay. this is it amateur footage shot in election of ali's 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 cold it and this here they will potentially dealing with a military grade nerve agent and look at that only some of them wearing as much as latex gloves many people in the room aren't wearing anything and they are saying

that at that time they were dealing with no b. chalk 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 his 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 that 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 a new 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 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 a list 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 the new found it 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 say the impeccable work of a pilot's doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence elizabeth you don't even admit that we act. it in a proper way to people but this family of nova truck 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 the 2 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 volley 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. well one of the creators of the actual novacek nerve agent leonard rink believes that the substance was years to no avail and he would never have made it to his plane in the 1st place . val need wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel last if it was not

a joke 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 he would never be 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 poisoning and novacek are not words to use for this case. richard that you would you 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. if they want to deploys novelli why would russia decide to use their own product

russia just like every developed country has 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. while russia says they won't extradite to poland 3 air traffic controllers who are working on the day of the event polish president fatal plane crash in 2010 accredited spokes person 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 the plane crashed while trying to land amid 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 the pilots ultimately led to the crash however later warsaw's said serious mistakes were made by air traffic controllers to. in fact in 27000 polish prosecutors accused those russian air traffic controllers of deliberately causing the crash then a 2nd polish commission claims there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground director of the crisis research center mark almost believes politics that still plays a central role in the long running case. this is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution for 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 down

to former solidarity activists and that made it a highly emotional and disastrous development but it seems to be a poisonous development inside politics because of course the present government accuses its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot it's highly unlikely that pardons to to skin so and his colleagues were serving the interests of russia they were quite quite critical of president putin's forces many errors but it's a sign of how this issue of this attitude towards russia has become an internal battle in poland as much as a geopolitical. concern after survey found. not. the full story coming up after the break the.

wrong. trail. for common ground. over the last 3 presidential election cycles there is clear evidence voters are attracted to the message of not interventionism and are very weary before this most certainly true in 2065 his time in office is spotty at best now by

appears to embrace the same form as bush and obama i guess he really will fundamentally change. welcome back and there's survey has found there's a stunning lack of knowledge about the horrors of the holocaust among young americans the research was conducted in no 50 states and found among 18 to 39 year olds most didn't know millions of jews were murdered in the concentration camps or 11 percent believed it was the jews themselves and not the nazis who were behind the atrocities however a majority did a great was important to learn about the events to ensure that never repeated and

the holocaust education should be compulsory well so young people in new york what they had learned about in their history classes really is of jesus type many jews died a couple 1000000000. people died in car i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was 6 trying to flood tide maybe more 6000000 people died. oh exact hour but even if it's nothing to do about auschwitz 10 or anything else. now is like a. pretty big day right it's weird that right now it's kind of like there's a conspiracy theorists that think it didn't happen. well during the 2nd world war the nazis and the collaborators they said more than 40000 concentration camps and ghettos and loss which alone more almost a 1000000 jewish people were slaughtered multi thirds of all of europe's jews were wiped out holocaust expert marc 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 could never happened saying the jews caused it and that's a 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 or 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 are 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 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 sense the way. the european parliament has been cheering over the situation in belarus the e.u. also welcomes the bill of russian opposition coordination council and demanded a fraction lection take place but moscow says brussels is in no position to call the shots stating mediation is the only option our senior correspondent my down picks up the story. what they recommend is that the european union the heads of states the european council seriously consider sanctions against the russian president 3 alexander lukashenko 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 that 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 of 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 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 go 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 to reside but we've also seen someone. slow down there are less and less spontaneous protest during the during the week thing this week there have been hardly any in a public strike good as the cold war by the opposition yesterday was a failure they called the people and businesses shut down for people to not go to work that was a fairly only 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 in belarus we spoke to daniel schorr from the council on hemispheric affairs who says parallels coming to him between the situation in belarus and what played out in venezuela last year the european union in the west in general and u.s. imperialism are the last forces with 'd any. moral force to be able to intervene and belittle russian affairs look at these very forces the e.u. and the us have done to syria to venezuela look at their interference with the made in counter revolution in 2014 in ukraine they would look like nothing more than to take really what's a small but significant piece of the global chess board back from any russian influence a recognition of us what's going to go sky is very similar to the recognition of

a little when they shift western countries recognize kaleido so it seems they have a similar color counter-revolution playbook blueprint in store for bella rouge no different from what they've done in ukraine but they've tried to do it successfully in iran i would daydream about doing to russia in china as well. thanks for tuning in to r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation and community. are you going the right way or are you being
