in headlines this 18th of september russia has left exasperated after germany direct small scope of the chemical weapons in its hunt for evidence in the alleged . plot only to be rebuffed by the o.p.c. believed to. be several times they say. the rich. says that a small group of wealthy nations will hold over half of the potential supplies of covert 19 vaccines the vast majority of the world's population denied access. and israel will see in the jewish new year with a new and deeply unpopular law later today as covert infection spiral doubling in
6:01 am
under a week. afternoon here in moscow good afternoon for me kevin life marty's new center i'm here for the next 30 minutes for the round up for you. rush is furious the way it's been treated by germany at the moment and also the global chemical weapons watchdog over the novotny case after 2 requests for evidence were ignored by it was then told to appeal to the o.p.c. w. which in turn we directed moscow back to the germans. with their excuses are completely contrived germany says it can't tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we've been to the o.p.c. w several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we're pressured into giving an account of ourselves on
6:02 am
the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation with russia in the sense that its stock has found no traces of nava chalk or any other poison one a leg seen of elm it 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 apotheosis he goes down after els deeper into the controversies today 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 that is questions arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to investigate this our
6:03 am
demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting 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 to the press with nothing at 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'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
6:04 am
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 assess very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian law enforcement agencies secretly transferred new 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
6:05 am
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 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 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 critically from of course those the funded largely funded and 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 independent investigation but there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure
6:06 am
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 to know investigation from russia but an immigration admission of guilt. election of early posted a video on instagram showing his team rummaging through his hotel room in toms 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 lava charred however a co-creator of the nerve agent needed drink says there's no way in the valley
6:07 am
would even have got as far as boarding the plane had he ingested some of the stuff in that hotel. vanny wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that if it was normal 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 a not worse to use for this case. just 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
6:08 am
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. to co-produce now a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over harf of the envisioned future supply of covert 19 vaccines according to a report by the oxfam charity it means that only 13 percent of the world's population will initially about access to the sought after drug markets lawson is the head of oxfam inequality policy division he says 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 potential. but more importantly they're doing deals with big pharmaceutical corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning the supply of vaccine being artificially
6:09 am
limited. so oxfam says there won't be enough vaccines to go around to the global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world sealed the deal occurred in the go in the final stages of their 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 until the least 2022 that sounds alarming doesn't it and on top of the potential drug shortages oxfam says the vaccine deals lay bare to the inequality between prosperous and developing countries case in point this for example the u.k. has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person if the trolls go. ok but if you compare and contrast that to bangladesh stark contrast look at what they've managed to get only the figures only one dose to 9 people marks lost again
6:10 am
says that prolonged an availability like that of vaccines in some countries like bangladesh 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 at a very high price somewhere between 16 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 in not a profit back saying we need to see. the breaking down of the patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your banks in 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 in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa or brazil if these countries are not getting access to
6:11 am
safe saying until 2022 then 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 rationed by the profits of pharmaceutical corporations. the time just less than an hour now israel is set to enter a 2nd national law friday for at least 3 weeks the anti cult would measure comes into force just hours before the start at sunset of the jewish new year it's a decision that is deeply unpopular with already pandemic where in public where hundreds rallied against the lockdown in central tel aviv on thursday nights people . well placards klaidman code would you say has been blown out of all proportion so the clock. to go is to. tell if we still get into that.
6:12 am
as well as bracing for an unprecedented 2nd nationwide covered 19 lockdown that will see the 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 your key poor which is the most holy day of the jewish calendar and you should be 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
6:13 am
benjamin netanyahu says that these moves are necessary and follow and indeed conversation that he held with the country's health minister. in the last 2 days we have witnessed another gruesome death 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 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. well 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 infections will go down but
6:14 am
the 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 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 know 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 locked on the go into place and 2 o'clock local time this often people out on the streets right now last minute shopping a lot of activity head of the curfew and it's also questionable when again i'll be able to report from the studio as this new doctor comes into place. national pride
6:15 am
of the 18th of september coming up amongst the stories ahead battles launching on to the bloodloss mark to move in the 12 huge costs for us insurers the damage is claims running into the millions this report after this quick break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being so. what is true. is faith.
6:16 am
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. theory mechanisms of plasticity that enable stretch to get under the skin and to any negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms can be harnessed for good good so the resilience to promote flourishing . well again russia says it won't text to poland 3 air traffic controllers who were working on the day of the then polish president's fatal plane crash in 2010 and credited spokesperson said the move would not be permitted under russian law it
6:17 am
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 in mid fog in 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 pilots saw the actions of them alternately led to the crash however later warsaw's 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
6:18 am
the seconds polish commission claimed there was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground the rector of the crisis research institute mark oldman believes politics still plays a central role in this long running and hugely controversial case this is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution authorities are political appointees so it's not a 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 a 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 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
6:19 am
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 warsaw. school. 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 to peace in northern ireland bidens our way or the highway approach then is now drawing comparisons to the way arch rival donald trump has so far and of many 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 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
6:20 am
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 halt borda 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'd go and 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
6:21 am
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 pro. the biden the non 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 those 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
6:22 am
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 one the white 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 statements. well i would i would almost categorize the threats towards u.k. government the threats that are being made on both sides an expression of the on the more recently on 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
6:23 am
international relationships and promoting our corporations both small medium and large to expand operations overseas and to develop partnerships internationally. finalists and now the in this city vandalism the scum in the wake of the blight lives not to protest is putting big dents not just in the police cars and store fronts but also with us in childress pockets they've received damages claims with the indians. my. my.
6:24 am
my. my. certainly the money that 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 but violence carried out against businesses destruction of property and loss of
6:25 am
lives which the media in america is completely ignoring. checks out on social media . reporting from moscow carried out of the team wishing you a great day. 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 and this is most certainly true in 2065 his time in office is spotty at best now appears to embrace the same foreign policies as bush and obama i guess nothing will fundamentally change.
