well the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. the headlines this 18th of september rushes left exasperated after germany directs small scope to the chemical weapons and it's hard for evidence in the legend of ali poison plot only to be rebuffed by the o.p.c. w. . i bet you some of us that we tend to be a b c w which unfortunately was playing for time and then told us we need to go back to berlin can you believe that the rich 1st charity oxfam says that a small group of wealthy nations will order over half of the potential supplies to cope with 19 back seats with a vast majority of the world's population denied access for years to. israel we'll see in the jewish new year with a new and deeply unpopular. covert infraction spiral doubling in under
4:01 am
a week. by there just turned 11 in the morning here in moscow this friday morning for me kevin 0 in life from artie's world news center i'm here with a brand new round up for you for the next 30 minutes 1st installer in this russia's furious at the way it's being treated by germany at the moment and the global chemical weapons watchdog to over the novelli case after 2 requests for evidence were ignored by berlin it was told to appeal to the o.p.c. doubly which in turn redirected moscow back to the germans. well brett is going to 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 russia says
4:02 am
that it stopped as for no traces of nova chalk or any other poison one aleck's in the valley was in their care and it stressed its willingness to cooperate in order to establish what really happened to him meantime france and sweden have conducted their own tests and confirmed berlin's nerve agent or prophecies it goes down off the shelves deeper 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
4:03 am
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 is taking 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 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
4:04 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 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 wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hope on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the o.p.c. w. and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in
4:05 am
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 player p.c. don't you like so many international commands ations it's always great to be subject to political pressure and that's critically from of course those the 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 inconsistent cities and problems that will not rise in 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 case where. it was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms
4:06 am
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. election of ernie's posted a video on instagram showing his team rummaging through his hotel room in tomsk shortly after 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 they submitted was found to contain traces of not the chalk however a co-creator of that nerve agent leonid rink told us there's no way of would even have got as far as boarding the plane had he ingested some of that stuff in the hotel. it would be
4:07 am
found he wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that's if it was normal jock and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small and 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 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. covered buz now
4:08 am
a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over half of the envisioned future supply of covert 90 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 sort of the drug 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 a rich nation monopolizing the supply of a potential bankruptcy but more importantly they're doing deals with big pharmaceutical corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profit meaning that the supply of vaccines be ok fishley limitations. to
4:09 am
meet alarmingly oxfam says there won't be enough vaccines to go around to meet global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world of seal the deal currently undergoing the final stage of clinical trials however even if all 5 prove to be a success which according to the charities extremely unlikely 2 thirds of the world's population will still have to wait till at least 2022 which is bad news to hear on top of potential drug shortages oxfam says the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between prosperous and developing countries than such as this for example the u.k. has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course now the trolls go wild for bangladesh in stark contrast to figures only one dose and 9 people max last again says that prolonged on availability of the vaccine in some countries will inevitably result in unnecessary deaths companies like their own are in the us
4:10 am
are only selling their backs into very rich countries they're selling it at a very high price somewhere between $16.00 and $35.00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses 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 and we need to see. the breaking down of the patent barrier and we need to see open sharing of vaccine technology to maximize the supply of safe and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of the delay and availability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe. until 2022 then they're in their. more luck to.
4:11 am
huge trouble many many people who dawdle do not lead to calls that. has been artificially russian and for the profits of pharmaceutical corporations meantime back now israel's. national law later friday for at least 3 weeks the anti covert measure comes into force just hours before the start of the jewish new year it's a decision that's going deeply badly with. lot of people hundreds rallied against the new law in central tel aviv on thursday night. claiming to be blow of all proportion. with the clock counting down to the new law here. in tel aviv in the studio you can still get to the moment at least. israel is bracing for an unprecedented 2nd nationwide coverage 19 lockdown that will see the
4:12 am
next 3 weeks with strict restrictions being imposed now this is a particularly joyous time usually of the year you have the jewish new year on friday night you then have a young kid poor which is the most holy day of the jewish 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
4:13 am
have witnessed another along with the 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 there has been a mixed reaction to the new lockdown on thursday night protesters gathered here 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 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 do but i don't think it's going to help i expect that instructions will go down but they'll go right back up as soon as the closer hands honestly it doesn't affect me at all i don't understand why it's much of
4:14 am
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 a mask so i really don't know how this is going to help anything now israel is not the 1st country that during the 1st wave what i declined and is not experiencing a spike in cases the u.k. and france are in similar situations and so we can cautiously save no country is in from the 2nd wave being locked on the go into place and 2 o'clock local time this afternoon people out on the streets right now last minute shopping a lot of activity head of the curfew it's also questionable when they came out be able to report from the street as this new doctor comes into place. since not sure on a friday rolling september the 18th that is coming up vandals lurching to the back of black. i was smart clocking up huge costs for us the shows were down which is
4:15 am
claims running into the billions i'm kevin i would more about the neo nazi international after the break through watching the clock now instead it's exactly. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. thyssen nation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith.
4:16 am
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. hello again russia says it won't extradite to poland 3 air traffic controllers who are working on the day that then polish presidents fatal plane crash in 2010 credit 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
4:17 am
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 on an official visit the plane crashed while trying to land a bid for going to generally poor weather conditions all those 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 called the crash however later walsall said serious mistakes were made by air traffic controllers to in fact then in 2017 polish prosecutors accused 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 holmes believes politics still plays a central role in the long running controversial case this is
4:18 am
a highly politicized event and of course the police prosecution for a piece of political appointees so healthy so this is a kind of scientific shelf stoffel 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 former solidarity activists and that made it a highly emotional and disastrous development but it and it's also been 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 prime minister 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 of this attitude towards russia has become an internal battle in poland as much as a geopolitical battle between borstal moscow. u.s.

presidential hope. joe biden's 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 biden's our way or the highway approach that has drawn comparisons to the way that rival donald trump has so far handled foreign business deals caleb maupin picks up the story. aside from being old white and male that's where the similarities between the 2 presidential hopefuls are meant to end 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
4:20 am
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'd 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
4:21 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 pro. than biden than 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 differing the sectors basically looking at protectionist measures which i think gives is not good for long term perspective i'm not sure if there's if there's big differences maybe one the white out in the
4:22 am
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 expect really 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.
4:23 am
in a city vandalism this come in the wake of the plant lives massive protests is putting big guns not just in police cars and store fronts but also in us in children's pockets too they've received damages claims with billions. my. my . my. my. my certainly the money that
4:24 am
that needs to be spent the businesses that have been completely destroyed small businesses black american businesses minority businesses and also all 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 only as violence being carried out against law enforcement against police officers violence carried out against businesses destruction of property loss of lives which the media in america is completely ignoring that's the route from follow social media or check out seattle com reporting from the news room here in moscow is kevin o. insulting offer this out for me the tape of a great friday. was
4:25 am
. the new gold rush is underway. flocking to the. goldfields hoping to strike it rich here's a good way out of this day oh by those that were 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. seems wrong why don't we all just all. get to shape out these days become educated and engaged with equals to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
4:26 am
all my social class. people are 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 old is you born into generational poverty. it's a tough fight every day she knew. your needs and the needs of your family.
4:27 am
hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered on peter lavelle over the last 3 presidential election cycles there is clear evidence voters are attracted to the message of not interventionism and or very weary of war and war this most certainly helps trump in 2016 but his time in office is best now joe biden appears to embrace the same foreign policies as bush and obama i guess nothing really will fundamentally change.
4:28 am
stocking forever wars i'm joined by my guest laura fink in san diego she is the. under and c.e.o. of rebel communications as well as a democratic strategist and in new york we crossed the line oh he is a legal media analyst so i crossed up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i also appreciate it was going to san diego laura joe biden the presidential candidate for the democrats he had an interview with the news outlets are stars and stripes and the men are very clear that he would continue the foreign wars in the middle east should stripes would remain there he had doesn't contemplate any kind of cuts in defense spending and at the same time we have like the eurasia group foundation which is kind of in the sec it's a very centrist and they have research tend to be overwhelmingly the public supports less militarization of foreign policy and decrease in military spending and they are on the side of ending these forever wars why is joe sticking to the
4:29 am
bush obama agenda go ahead well i think that it's the is what the american people want is probably in line with whichever biden wants no one wants to be an endless war but engagement is sometimes necessary and you know everyone would last you know at the defense budget after 19 years it's the worth it how well look i think you know that look we can we can just you know different decisions made by different presidents and i would say that there is a diversity of the lassa fever among the different presidents that you names but i will say we're talking globally about engagement versus isolation as also mentally this is about fomenting and trying to encourage peace in a very particular way and very tricky way and i think it's i think it's challenges and that doesn't mean just in that you know military engagement means diplomatic engagement needs economic engagement it means figuring out how to balance the tools in our tool catch to try to create stability and peace around the world and
4:30 am
ultimately that is in the american interest so i think that when we reduce these arguments in just. thing about do or not do this is it's you know yoda and star wars this is this is a complicated policy you know discussion and i think we have to take it case by case but better guy you can buy that make a plate at that but it's a different with all due respect i think the american people are tired of it's complicated ok that's why we need leadership and i don't think president trying to send a very good job in this respect or make a line here why is that the binary isolationism interventionism i see that all the time it's a false argument well i'm i'm still trying to get over the ocean of fomenting peace i love that notion of we're going to do we're going to reach people we're going to to increase the courage of the vortex for peace by by by engaging our military to foment peace.
