between gold. i was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. being sent back and forth moskos left in limbo between the international chemical weapons watchdog and this search is that any information on the alleged poisoning of alexina valley so far without success. would be to be interviewed b.c. tell you several times but they say talk to a. german region's cry foul over mounting calls including from the e.u. the top brass to ditch the nord stream tear gas pipeline project for locals in
8:01 pm
a german port town threatened with the u.s. sanctions struck a defiant tone. there is trying to tell us what to do here it's really she least we believe that it's teachers trying to manipulate german law so european interests are so big you insist you come out and talk. moscow demands answers from washington amid reports the u.s. is arming groups in crimea the russians use those terrorists. hello and welcome this is our to the international court asking to you live from moscow with me. moskos said it's been left chasing its tail and its assets to see the test results concerning the alleged poisoning of kremlin critic alexei navalny germany's directed russia to the global chemical weapons watchdog but the o.p.c. w. says it should talk to berlin now the office of russia's prosecutor general has
8:02 pm
requested sweden and france the 2 countries germany had certain of on these samples to to share their findings. 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 w several times and they say. we are ready to talk to anyone we want not when the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves but on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns which we are always ready to have a professional conversation. russia insists its doctors found no trace of nava choco novelli was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany in order to establish exactly what happened independent tests by france and sweden confirms the presence of the nerve agent igor style of has been looking at the latest controversies surrounding the case. alexina volley
8:03 pm
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 year to investigate this 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
8:04 pm
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 join to sort out what happened i've been dismissed and a far fetched pretax 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 o p 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
8:05 pm
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 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 that's largely the western powers we've seen with the p.c.
8:06 pm
do abuse role in investigating alleged chemical attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame has been riddled with inconsistences 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 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
8:07 pm
immigration admission of guilt. in the latest post on the valley's instagram account a video shows his team searching his hotel room in tons of saudi after news had broken the head fall and severely ill wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the post were passed to the general thorazine one of the water bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of another child but one of the co-creators of that very nerve agent led rick claims if it was used there's only would never have made it to the plane he was travelling on. wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that's if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small or 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
8:08 pm
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. 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. and that the fallout from the valley case calls have been mounting for germany to ditch the north stream to gas pipeline projects but the heads of key east german regions have come to the defense of the joint venture with russia. the bad one is economically necessary force but it's also necessary that we stay together with the russians it's a project that plays a decisive role in the framework of altered energy and climate policy and therefore
8:09 pm
we've come to the conclusion that we want to carry on with it and to those that advocates closer ties with russia i say that the poisoning of alexei navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off nor stream 2 was a pipeline project which will pump russian gas to germany and then on to other european countries via the baltic sea when completed and it's around 90 percent there now it'll double the amount of gas flowing from russia to germany construction began in 2018 but has been halted a number of times with the us and some eastern european countries launching their objections washington slapped sanctions on the project last year claiming it risks european energy security. an example the german port town of the assn it has found itself threatened with crushing sanctions by american senators the locality has been playing a key role in supporting the pipe playing fleet involved in the stream to its
8:10 pm
construction but the town's mayor and residents remain defiant in the face of u.s. pressure given she told them their concern also getting gas from russia and i don't find it very nice that they're trying to tell us what to do here. for the town it is a big thing it created a lot of jobs. in the town became a little more significant thanks to it and i want to see very clearly it's really she is the we the united states is trying to manipulate german laws and european interests to. come out in time. for their. parliaments member martin doul believes the severing of economic ties with russia would prove hugely detrimental to east in germany. that is a big problem and i think. it also left on the line of the german government of wealth respect and they. play a bit with the existence of the people in east germany because anybody who tries
8:11 pm
are stronger and russia and these are friendly and these are very productive and i think the central should listen listen more to that and i think there's are all away and especially for the people in east germany and all those regions it will be more bitter effect and for west germany. russia is demanding immediate answers from the u.s. after an n.b.c. news report claimed washington's providing weapons to ukrainian militants in crimea . unnamed use official speak about their country's support of terrorist activities in 3rd countries in this case these talks specifically about russia if that is true we demand that the us side clarify as to whether or not washington has directly or indirectly facilitated the is be you ukrainian security services in organizing terrorist attacks against the people of crimea the n b c report itself is actually about a completely different case about allegations that the russians secretly bribed or
8:12 pm
paid bounties to taliban fighters which killed u.s. troops in afghanistan moscow has firmly denied that anything like it is possible so the n.b.c. report cites a number of u.s. military officials and sources as well some of them are saying that there is no solid proof of that others are confident about the theory and this brings us to the part that really caught the attention of russian officials because down at the bottom of the read one of these sources is mentioning u.s. military aid for ukrainian fighters in crimea none the less current and former u.s. officials have said many cia officers and analysts came to believe a bounty program existed they concluded that the russians viewed it as a proportional response to the u.s. arming of ukrainian units fighting russian forces in crimea the source. of these
8:13 pm
allegations are still quite murky you still try to piece piece of the puzzle together here but we do know the u.s. has been supporting ukrainian military quite openly over the wall tell you what ever since the conflict in southeast ukraine broke out ukraine has been heavily reliant on u.s. military aid and i'll tell you what the latest batch of that equipment that's part of the u.s. support which is worth $60000000.00 u.s. dollars and the one that included javelin anti-tank missiles was sent in june but this. it was just the latest in the serious of shipments and these shipments were also preceded by non lethal military aid all of this intended for the ukrainian forces that are fighting pro russian forces in east ukraine the pro q. forces in that donbass region they comprise of proper ukrainian troops which is the army and also nationalist battalions but when it comes to climbing there is no
8:14 pm
military activity there the whole principle is under control of the russian army however infiltrators with ukrainian passports had previously been caught there by russian security forces for planning terrorist attacks so in this case some u.s. support for ukraine to fight the russians in crimea that's a completely different story and that's a real cause for concern in moscow so what about these allegations that russia actually offered bounties to taliban fighters who killed american troops in afghanistan well then going back to these claims about some kind of bribes by some kind of russian secret agents for taliban fighters they 1st surfaced in the new york times back in june but even the n.b.c. article that i began with starts with the words of the head of the u.s. central command who says that he doesn't have any solid proof to back this up for
8:15 pm
now and if we talk about the russian officials again they were firmly confident that this kid in be the case at all previously the russian foreign ministry surrogate said that russia would never stoop so low as to engage in such dirty tactics. we were accused of relations with the taliban if inducing them to carry out special operations against american troops or financial rules of the military bands which for its own interests in the league. i think it's beneath the dignity to suspect that russia could be behind such things by the way the pentagon had to deny these allegations here so there is nothing to back them up and the taliban were also said it was completely false. the u.s. supreme court has confirmed that judge ruth bader ginsburg has died of cancer at the age of 87 she'd been the oldest sitting judge serving such serving as that
8:16 pm
since 1903 she was the 2nd woman to be nominated to the u.s. supreme court and will be remembered as an iconic champion of liberal and women's rights her passing means both the democrats and republicans will have to nominate her successor judge ginsburg sadly passed her she was undergoing chemotherapy for a recurrence of pancreatic cancer earlier this year the statements that she died at home surrounded by family. still to come on r.t. international the return of a lockdown for israel becomes the 1st country to reel postpone restrictions nationwide coronavirus infection 1st again one that's coming up after the break. you know the economy is a man made structure. try to scott engineers financial engineers the economic

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 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 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 mixed reaction to the new
8:20 pm
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't go out we can 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 expect. fractions will go down but that go right back up as soon as the cause or earnings honestly 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 a mask i really don't understand how this is going to help anything now israel is
8:21 pm
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 in new from the 2nd wave the lockdown we're going to place at 2 o'clock local time this afternoon people out on the streets right now last minute shopping a lot of activity a head of the curfew it's also questionable women again i'll be able to report from the studio as this new doctor comes into place. recall authorities are begun housing thousands of migrants in a new tenant city on the island of les paul's that's lost the morea camp they had been in was destroyed in a suspected arson attack by residents themselves earlier this month. i mean.
8:22 pm
70 police officers in protective suits were dispatched to the island many migrants have been living on the streets since the fire and a number have been refusing to be re housed in the tent camp riot police tried to round up underscore them to the need for a celebrity the greek government believes the fire is a sign the secure closed to units are the only safe option. but the use of force is showing the need to immediately close the disciplined open reception centers for refugees and migrants integrate closed controlled centers which will provide humane living conditions double fencing secu and francis surveillance systems and far safety the morea migrant camp was the largest refugee center and europe however it was severely overcrowded and witnessed a covert outbreak analysts we spoke to believe the situation highlights the failure
8:23 pm
of europe's migration policies. i think this pit denies is the total 'd failure of europe's management of massive migration how many years have we been speaking about problems leads to massive migration in europe over a 1000000 in my case which you could just show me a 2050 what are they doing today are they working are the integrated of the speaking german european union is not talking about that or not i'm not even talking about it in france spain other countries were immigration is just a massive problem it's there is no policy managed by the european union and this can occur migrants or jews are burning down their own facilities just shows how bad treatment of this whole situation is by the european union what is this european union so we tell people look from all of africa that they could come over and we can't even pay for facilities to rethink this just doesn't make sense it's not the 1st time that somalia there until then was completely down to the ground info than 16 out of 80 they'd been many many times where we had fire incidents and actually 7
8:24 pm
people died during fire recently in moya also died from i speak because they were trying to he didn't say that sense so as long as you have the sake of the nation's needs t.v. all the quoting you have to remind maybe that's good percenter was always going to have a credit so i the time of the 5 year deal is 13000 people are staying in there in a center that was meant by the 800 we had as many as 20000 people in the something so obviously this is been a main rescan nothing has been done by the authorities to prevent that from happening they've been meaning to then so you know demonstration and stench and say was a very violent place and it's who is understandable because of the living conditions because of the way people with the food in him displaced. about the russian opposition leader has called on the wild to stand up for democracy scotland has taken all sky was addressing a searing ride session of the united nations which was debating the ongoing crisis

relatively small during the week the weekend's continued to see months opposition rallies that present themselves recently claims to was the 2nd vote as well and why don't appointed by external forces. now the next faces be god's intense political financial and diplomatic pressure from outside neighboring countries refusing to recognize the election results and just like we saw in venezuela they found the belorussian wider and declared president. journalist on board passed a new york law believes the west is manipulating taken off sky for its own interests. seen this film before haven't we but in venezuela of course when they the west the us and western powers cried through that proxies to topple the government. and when that it looked for a while that might succeed when it didn't they then plan to turn to plan b. which was to anoint they so-called opposition leader the legitimate leader of that
8:27 pm
country 8 advocation we could actually call this process so that's what's happened this week i think it's part of the strategy to deal with it to my eyes look at franco by saying that the opposition an opposition leader is the present course it's illegal but it's a new step they're hoping that will follow on from this is that more countries will recognize her as the legitimate leader of belarus the arrogance of this is absolute story could you imagine if you look at franco said say 2017 what we had a very close election in britain though i don't recognise the reason mate as the prime minister of britain i recognized dr recording that the election eve it what could you imagine the out quite to that this is what the west is doing in belarus thanks for joining us here on r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines we'll see you then.
