headlines this 18th of september russia has left exasperated after germany directs moscow to the chemical weapons watchdog in its hunt for evidence and the election of on the poison plot only to be rebuffed by the o.p.c. w. so. you sort of use that we turn 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. also in the headlines the rich 1st charity oxfam says a small group from wealthy nations will forgo behalf of the potential supplies of covert 19 seasons with the vast majority of the world's population denied access for years to come. and talk of a cold but the jewish new year gets off on the wrong foot with israel ready to

reimpose love this friday as daily code with 19 cases in the country more than double in less than a week. the morning no one friday morning here in moscow this is out international live from our world news center with me kevin irwin i'm here with running around for you for the next 30 minutes of the day is going good so far 1st russia theory aside the way it's being treated by germany the global chemical weapons watched over than of army case after 2 requests for evidence were ignored by it was told to appeal to the o.p.c. w. which in turn then redirected moscow back to the germans whether it's you sort of use that we turn to the o p c w which unfortunately was playing for time and then told us we need to go back to berlin you can you believe that. when we were 1st appealing to bill and it directed

our communications to the o p c w this is a vicious circle it is illogical absent and everyone understands it or rush or insists that it stock has found no traces of novacek already other poison when alexina volley was in their care that it stressed its willingness to cooperate in order to try to establish what really happened to him meantime france and sweden have conducted their own tests and confirmed the berlin's nerve agent hypothesis he goes down off this morning delve deeper into the controversy surrounding the alleged poison plot. alexina valley 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 just to get

our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy of 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 to the press with enough when it all all this aching place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened i've been dismissed and a far fetched pretext 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 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 are 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 or wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it

can get everything from the or b c w 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 bag watchdog of becoming politicized by your p.c. don't you like so many international concessions it's always great to be subject to political pressure and that's particularly from of course those the funded largely funded that's 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 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 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 in immigration admission of guilt. posted a video on instagram showing his team rummaging through that hotel room he was in in toms shortly before he fell ill wearing surgical gloves they collected evidence in plastic bags and according to the post passed it on to the germans apparently one of the water bottles there they submitted was found to contain traces of novacek however co-creator of nerve agents leonid drink says there's no way the

could even got as far as boarding the plane had he ingested some of that stuff in the hotel. it would be found he wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel if it was normal jog 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 of poisoning and novacek and not worse to use for this case. we joked that 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. a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over half of the envision a future supply of cope with 19 vaccines according to a report by the oxfam charity it means only 13 percent of the world's population will initially have access to this much sought after drug markets lorson the head of oxfam's inequality policy division told us this is 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 breakthrough but more importantly they're doing deals with big promising to corporation which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning that the supply of vaccines and artificially limited.

oxfam says there won't be enough vaccines to go around to me global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently undergoing the final stage of clinical trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the world's population will still have to wait at least until 2022 further oxfam says the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality than between prosperous and developing countries for example the u.k. is managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on other trials go while for bangladesh and this is a stark contrast the figure is only one dose per 9 people last again says that prolonged an availability of the vaccine in some country. this will result in many unnecessary deaths companies like their own are in the us are only selling their backs into very rich countries they're selling it or bury high price somewhere

between $16.00 and $35.00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so that's like $70.00 per person so they are buried clear that they are there doing things to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what we're saying is we need a people's backs not a profit bax a real need to see. the breaking down of the patent barriers 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 the huge economic and human cost of the delay in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa of brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe in saying until 2022 then there they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would die do not need to because the vaccine

has been artificially ration and private profits of pharmaceutical corporations. israel's very shortly set to enter a 2nd a national coronavirus looked on this friday which will last for at least 3 weeks the restrictions also coincide with the beginning of the jewish new year 2 so it's made the whole thing particularly on popular for hundreds rallied against the shutdown in central tel aviv late thursday night testers held placards and banners stressing the measures and pandemic they say have been exaggerated paula slee is in tel aviv. going to get access to the studio for a while i think it will attain same time zone as ours so 10 in the morning with you this lockdown if all goes to plan will be coming into force in less than 4 hours paula is that right. that is correct israel is bracing for an unprecedented 2nd nationwide covered 19 lockdown that will see the next 3 weeks

with strict strict restrictions being imposed now this is a particularly joyous time usually you have the jewish new year will shine on friday night we then have gone kapoor which is the most holy day to his calendar and usually thousands upon thousands of people will be in some regard this time that won't happen so a lot of disappointment here amongst the population among the other measures being implemented are no more than 10 people indoors remaining within 500 meters of one's home businesses cannot accept customers and schools and shopping centers are to be closed this follows a steady rise in the number of covered positive cases wednesday saw an unprecedented 6000 new cases being reported in one day the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that these moves are necessary and follow an in-depth conversation that he held with the country's health minister. in the last 2 days we

have witnessed another long gruesome 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 there has been a mixed reaction to the new lockdown on thursday night protesters gathered in tel aviv to demonstrate against the new measures we caught up with ordinary citizens to ask them what they feel it's very frustrating it's killing the economy many people feel like there is no hope and they don't know what is going on they're basically going crazy we can't work we can't go out we can do whatever we used to do it's probably a good thing. cases are rising that the rules so that's what we're going to 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 cause or hands 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 see don't wear a mask so i really don't understand how this is going to help anything. now israel is not the 1st country that during the 1st wave witnessed a decline and is not experiencing a spike in cases the u.k. and france are in similar situations and so we can cautiously say that no country is immune from the 2nd wave being knocked down will go into place at 2 o'clock local time this often and people out on the streets right now last minute shopping a lot of activity a head of the curfew and it's also questionable when again i'll be able to a port from the studio as this new doctor comes into place stressing isn't it but seems like has got to be done to some of the things out there around the world

slowly and surely for now we'll let you know we had. a caller thank you friday morning is coming up 15 minutes past time this out of the 18th this is a valuable. latching only but large muscle movement clocking up huge costs for us insurers with damage claims running into the same or something friday morning of course this is odd since about. the last 3 presidential election cycles there is clear evidence voters are attracted to the message of not interventionism and are very weary to learn this most certainly in 2065 is time in office to spot the best now by the fierce will grace the same form as bush and obama i guess when things really

really fundamentally change. when else should something seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. to see. just the answer. and indeed. the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground. i get a warning russia says it won't extradite to poland 3 air traffic controllers who

are working on the day of the polish president's fatal plane crash in 2010 a trauma 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 at the time 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 at the time that the actions of the pilots ultimately led to the crash however later walsall said serious mistakes were made by air traffic controllers to in fact then on top of it in 2017 polish

prosecutors accuse those russian air traffic controllers of deliberately causing the crash and the 2nd polish commission claimed there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground direct to the crisis research institute mark colvin believes politics still plays a central role in this long running controversial case. this is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution of 40 or so political appointees so ok so this is a kind of scientific show hooves to hold i think all the evidence sadly tragically is that it was an accident and accident will be very high profile figures from the president over down to 4 more 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 prison government accuses its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot it was 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 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. u.s. presidential hopeful joe biden has warned the u.k. there won't be any post trade deal with america if london fails to uphold its end of the good friday agreement which was a cornerstone of peace in northern ireland bidens our way or the highway approach than this drawn comparisons at the moment to the way that rival donald trump has so far handled for a business deals to get them open picks up 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 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 hard border period it's usually trump who is threatening to tear up trade deals and renegotiate the 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 and i will not accept a bad 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 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 president biden than on the donald trump even the democrats are not great friends of liberal trade it may be a 2 horse race but when it comes to the issue of trade both jockeys are riding with

the same ideas perhaps packaged though with different words they're appealing to to voters what they think voters are road been looking at free trade and open trade of the of the potential for expanding business than and differing the sectors basically looking at protection of measures which i think. is not good for long term perspective i'm not sure if the. if there is big difference this may be one the wide out in the open. and they'll state mr trump cybil 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 the u.k. government the threats that are being made on both sides and expect. 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. be in a city vandalism this come in the wake of the blight lives not to protests is a pretty big dents not just to police cars and store fronts but it seems also in the u.s. insurance pockets they've received damages claims with billions. my . my.

my. my. only. certainly the money that 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 of violence and protest 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 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. that's are up for now follow so social media check it out see the whole column reporting from moscow this friday morning kevin though in the team saying stay safe well whatever you're doing today have a great day. new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as they open to those that work children are torn between gold and education my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics or business i'm show business i'll see that. segregated. by social class. people also in poverty by 1st. if you're born into a poor family if you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger if you're born into generational poverty. so every day she you meet your needs and the needs of your family.

well welcome to sophie. shevardnadze emotions are our internal compass they guide us through lives complexities but may get overwhelming in the process to talk about this i'm joined by dr richard davidson professor of psychology. at the university of wisconsin madison and founder and director of the center for health in mind. dr richard davidson professor of psychology and psychiatry at the university of

wisconsin madison and the founder director of the center for healthy mice it's really great to have you with us i mean we've been really looking forward to this so in your presentations you also raised the question of why are some people more vulnerable to live challenges and others are more resilient to them have you found an answer. well this is a question that has been with me from the start of my career and still in scary quieter and and present and i would say that we are up for aggressively learning more and more about the answer. and what we also have. especially focused on over the last 10 years is what kinds of training and what kinds of strategies a person might engage in that may. promote positive quality is that enable them to become more resilient and him that has led us to focus

on well being to focus on the constituents of well being and has led us to a very simple but very radical conclusion and that is that will be is best record it is a skill it's a skill that actually can be training we're going to talk about that skill a lot today before that hour to ask you that our brain is constantly changing it's costly developing and your nearest and his colleagues call it here plasticity simply explain how exactly does that mirror a plasticity work. yes. neuroplasticity is really a foundational concept and what it means is that the brain changes in response to experience and i often say that the brain is changing wittingly or

unwittingly meaning that it can change intentionally or unintentionally most of the time our brains are changing unwittingly most the time we are unaware of the forces around us that are shaping our brain and those forces are ones over which we have little control and the invitation in all of this work is that we can actually harness the power of neuro plus this is the to change our brains for the better. and so the very mechanisms of neuroplasticity that enable stress to get under the skin and to have a negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms in be harnessed for the.
