you're born into generational poverty so. it's a. fight every day so you meet your needs and then it's your family. in the headlines this 18th of september a game of political pain pong russia says it's being asked about now by germany the world's chemical weapons watchdog. the o.p.c. pasmore sco back and forth in its efforts to see the evidence in the election of only. the rich 1st charity oxfam says that a small group of wealthy nations all over half of the potential supply. backseats the vast majority of the population being denied access to do this. and jewish new year gets off on the wrong foot with israel reimposed friday.
1:01 am
cases in the country more than double in less than a week. one friday morning here in moscow for a cup morning for me kevin 0 in the live from world news center i'm here with a brand new round of for you for the next 30 minutes great company. russia is furious at the way it's being treated by germany in the global chemical weapons watchdog over the novelli case than after 2 requests for evidence were ignored by berlin it was then told to appeal to the o.p.c. doubly which then told moscow to speak back to the germans. we turned to the o p c w which unfortunately was playing for time and then told us we need to go back to berlin can you believe that when we were 1st appealing to bill and it direct our communications to the p.c. w this is a vicious circle it is illogical absent and everyone understands it well russia or
1:02 am
insist that it's doctors found no traces of nova chalk or other poison one alexian of only was in their care and it stressed its willingness to cooperate in order to establish what really happened to him meantime france and sweden of conducted their own tests confirmed lin's nerve agent hypothesis he goes down off those deeper than the small into the controversy surrounding the alleged poison plot. alexina volley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting
1:03 am
alexina valmy die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germany's court moscow current aid the investigation if it's kept in the dark on emerging evidence should the press with enough when it all all this a 2nd place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened i've been dismissed and the far fetched pretexts that's hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german army's capabilities
1:04 am
too much but only to russia's eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations member states of the or b c w we assess very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian law enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. so that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o.p.c. w. and that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can help on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the o.p.c. w.
1:05 am
and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesn't really help o.p.c. w.'s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bad watchdog of becoming politicized player p.c. don't you like so many international concessions it's always great to be subject to political pressure and that's critically from of course those to fund it largely funded much largely the western powers we've seen with the p.c. to abuse role in investigating alleged chemical attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in a independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the scruple case where. it was very reluctant to
1:06 am
share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e.u. is shutting out russia's investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants no investigation from russia but an integration admission of guilt. election of ellie's posted a video on instagram showing his team rummaging through his hotel room in thompson shortly before he fell ill the accompanying text says they were collecting evidence which the then gave to the germans apparently one of the water bottles they submitted was found to contain traces of novacek however a co-creator of the nerve agent linebrink says there's no way an avanti would even have got as far as for the plane had they ingested some of that in the hotel.
1:07 am
it would be in valmy it wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel if it was normal jock 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 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 poisoning and novacek and not worse to use for this case. richard that you wouldn't 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.
1:08 am
if they wanted to poison develop it 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. russia says it won't extradite to poland 3 air traffic controllers who are working on the day of the then polish president's fatal plane crash in 2010 accredit 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
1:09 am
the plane crashed while trying to land amid fog and generally poor weather conditions all on board including the president's wife and other senior politicians 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 there in 2017 as well polish prosecutors accuse those russian air traffic controllers of deliberately causing the crash and the 2nd polish commission claims there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground direct to the crisis research institute mark allman believes politics still plays a central role in the long running case. this is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution for peace or political appointees so much or so this is a kind of scientific show stoffel i think all the evidence sadly tragically is that
1:10 am
it was an accident and accident will be very high profile figures from the president over down to former solidarity activists and that made it a highly emotional and disastrous development but it and it seems to be a poisonous drove it inside polish politics because of course the present government accuses its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot it was highly unlikely that pardons to do skin so and his colleagues were serving the interests of russia they were quite quite critical of president putin's policies many errors 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 borstal moscow. israel will enter a second's national coronavirus lockdown this friday which will last for at least 3 weeks the restrictions also coincide with the beginning of the jewish new year to later it's made the move an unpopular one for some of them hundreds reality against
1:11 am
the shutdown in central tel aviv late on thursday night protesters held placards and banners stressing the measures and pandemic has been exaggerated they say for the sli is live television so small morning to you so what are the final details surrounding this 2nd look on the cards imminently now where you are paula. well as you correctly say israel is bracing itself for a 2nd and popular covered 19 knockdown night will involve 3 weeks of strict measures and it comes at a particularly festive time in the country this is a time when normally there are jewish holidays some of the measures include not more than 10 people indoors remaining within 500 meters of one's home businesses cannot exceed. customers and shopping centers and schools are closed these missions follow a stately wise in the number of new covered cases wednesday so every court 6 holes
1:12 am
and new cases being reported these way the prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that these measures are necessary and that they were made after consultation with the health minister. but. in the last 2 days we have witnessed another lawman increase in deaths and the continued increase in the number of critically ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. now the new measures have been met with mixed reaction on tuesday night demonstrators took to the streets here in tel aviv to protest against the lockdown measures we caught up with some of them. it's very frustrating it's killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they don't know what is going on we are basically going crazy we can't work we can't go out we can't do whatever we used to do it's probably a good thing because cases are rising that the roof so that's what we're going to
1:13 am
do but i don't think it's going to help i expect that infections will go down but they'll go right back up as soon as the questions honestly it doesn't affect me at all i don't understand why it's much of a closure i understand schools some of the stores are closed but where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want i do anything i want people i still say don't wear masks so i really don't understand how this is going to help anything. measures will begin at 2 pm this afternoon friday which means that legally the only reason that i can do this report from the studio is that here in israel it's still morning time. see you next time you come on um for me i guess thank you paula from. no comfort to hear that our next story a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over half of the invision features supply of covert 19 vaccines according to
1:14 am
a report by the oxfam charity it means only 13 percent of the world's population will initially have access to the sought after drug mix lorson the head of oxfam's inequality policy division told us it's a consequence of pharmaceutical companies seeking to maximize profits it's extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations are monopolizing the supply of a potential paxi but more importantly they're doing deals with big pharmaceutical corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning that the supply of vaccines is being artificially may be too and so what we're saying is we need a people's backs not a profit vaccinating we need to see the breaking down of these painting areas and we need to see open sharing of vaccine technology to maximise the supply of safe and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible if you think of
1:15 am
countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe and effective that staying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people will die do not new to him because the vaccine has been artificially rationed by the profits of pharmaceutical corporations. well oxfam says there won't be enough vaccines to go around to meet global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently on the go in the final stage of clinical trials however even if all far you've proved to be a success which according to the charity's extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the world's population will still have to wait at least until 2022 oxfam says the vaccine deals lay bare than the inequality between prosperous and developing countries for example the u.k. is managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials
1:16 am
go well for bangladesh stark this comparison is the figure is only one dose per 9 people mercs lost again says countries are splashing out on vaccines because the economic how mobile of a sustained pandemic is far worse it is perhaps not surprising that countries want to secure the back scene for their citizens that's the job of political leaders but what they should also do is put pressure on pharmaceutical companies to open up the technology and then should be funding the production of back all over the world so it's perfectly possible to find the money to vaccinate everyone earth and we need to do that as fast as possible it's in everybody's interests and oxfam has estimated the cost of back for everyone on earth is around $74000000000.00 but that is. i only know one percent toeing the proportion of the economic cost of the crisis sorry falso all those $75000000000.00 sounds like
1:17 am
a lot of money it really isn't if you compare the economic cost of continuing with this virus failing to treat it failing to give back seems to be a. national front of the 18th of a 17 past the hour ahead. of protests have cost us insurers a staggering $2000000000.00 well not ahead.
1:18 am
very mechanisms of plasticity that enable stress to get under the skin and to the negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms in the harness for the good of the old resilience to remove flourish. again good morning from moscow u.s.
1:19 am
presidential hopeful joe biden that has warned the u.k. there won't be any post breaks a trade deal with america if london fails to uphold its send of the good friday agreement which of course was a cornerstone to peace in northern ireland biden's way or the highway approach has drawn comparisons to the way archrival donald trump that has so far handled foreign business deals caleb maupin picks up on the story. aside from being old white and male that's where the similarities between the 2 presidential hopefuls are meant to and after all trump brams biden as a trojan horse for far left extremism meanwhile biden presents trump as an authoritarian demagogue like knight is today like cold is to hot absolute polar opposites but are they because on one particular issue joe biden is singing the same tune as donald trump he's announced that he is now
1:20 am
a supporter of economic protectionism we can't allow the good friday agreement that brought peace to northern island to become a casualty of bragg's it and he trade deal between the u.s. and u.k. must be contingent upon respect for the agreement and preventing the return of a halt borda period it's usually trump who is threatening to tear up trade deals and renegotiate them in america's interests remember we will never ever. trade deals russia didn't adhere to the treaty so until they are here we will pull out well i think the trans-pacific partnership was not a good deal for us and if they made it a good deal for us i go in i will not accept a bed deal for the american people let's not forget that biden used to criticize donald trump for this kind of thing but that is ancient history now joe biden is tooting the horn of economic nationalism he is going to punish corporations that operate overseas with have your taxes the same for corporations that push their
1:21 am
products primarily on foreign buyers and he's now got his buy american plan that he's drawn up to reward companies for operating only in the united states however some are just not buying it the president of the german foreign trade association says that biden's record indicates that he is far far less anti globalist than trump protectionism will be less on the. i was invited and then on the donald trump even the democrats are not great friends of liberals or of trade it may be a 2 horse race but when it comes to the issue of trade both jockeys are riding with the same idea as perhaps packaged with different words they're appealing to to voters what they think voters are rather than looking at free trade and open trade as a as a potential for expanding business and in differing the sectors basically looking at protectionist measures which i think is is not good for a long term perspective i'm not sure if there's if there's big differences maybe
1:22 am
one the white out in the open. and they'll state mr trump seigel state clearly what they're that they're against certain agreement and yet we've got threats coming from the other side as well mr biden and the democratic party the house speaker statement. well i would i would almost categorize the threats towards u.k. government the threats that are being made on both sides and expectantly on the more recently from mr biden camp definitely is alienating a global international corporations as well as small corporations that are tempting to have an international presence. and so i you know i think we should be promoting international relationships and promoting our corporations both small medium and large to expand operations overseas and to develop partnerships internationally.
1:23 am
$2000000000.00 that's just how much us and show are into having to fork out of the black lives months of protests sweeping america for the 4th month in iraq kind of to compare that to get a handle on it that number even to posses the cost of such natural disasters as this is huge california wildfires fronted the largest the state saying. my. my
