that we should defeat cancer. due to that we are obliged to supply doctors with old possible to see patients nuclear medicine he's a major rule with a try out together with surgery and chemotherapy. russia's foreign ministry accuses western powers of launching a descent permission campaign over the alleged poisoning of an extent of only now position activists has been discharged from hospital and. also this hour alexander lukashenko is now graded for a 6th term as belorussian the president after weeks of unrest following the disputed election. is ready to provide you with with top notch assistance. but important invites united nations staff to try a new russian covert vaccine free of charge adding that the country has already received requests from you and colleagues and even our t.v.
12:01 pm
correspondent becomes one of the 1st in the country to get the job as part of phase 3 trials. this morning i got a call from the creamy stain i am an ideal candidate here this is your vaccine there's not much in there looks like a couple of drops ok i'm ready. to watch your 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program russia and germany are continuing to trade accusations and demand answers over the other case the opposition activist has been discharged from hospital and berlin after his alleged poisoning and germany's refusal to hand over evidence to russia has sparked an angry exchange between the 2 governments. in this league. it is not the responsibility of the german authorities
12:02 pm
to conduct this to get should the crime was committed in russia and that's way urgent appeal to russian side is to comment on the matter. with germany refusing to share samples or in the family's treatment details or later russian investigator talk to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary proclaimers clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding the pressure taken needed action would get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding various pretexts to avoid cherry their data with russia we believe this is all being done to support the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify in the valleys illness any such claims are lies. probably this across live now to our correspondent peter all over peer accusations are flying between moscow and berlin got war but what about alex aim of only himself any news on his condition. or while the diplomatic spat between moscow in berlin seems to continue to rumble on alexina valley has improved
12:03 pm
dramatically while his condition has anyway he's been posting on social media a picture of himself in what seems to be a burden park and which he says in the post that he will continue to work with physiotherapists it follows on from a statement earlier on wednesday in which the shot at a hospital which had been treating the volley said that he was now well enough to be discharged from the care. of the patient's seat of house has improved to such an extent that acute medical treatment can be ended election at all and he was treated at charity for a total of $32.00 days $24.00 days to which she was in an intensive care unit physicians considered for recovery possible base and treatment and the current condition and the long term consequences of the severe poisoning can only be assessed later. well it comes as the ministry of justice here in berlin of confirmed that they've received
12:04 pm
a 2nd official request from the russian senior prosecutors for information relating to tests carried out on alexina volley those tests that berlin says showed that he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group well we've also heard from the foreign ministry here in berlin as well that say that they have still to receive any further information from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons berlijn did share the information from the tests with them waiting for their findings the foreign ministry in mesko though is far from happy with what it sees as burlington's willing full refusal to share information and preference to let this play out in the media. really systems to see to what we're seeing how the west has launched a massive dissent from pain surrounding the alexander family situation there is no evidence of russian involvement in what happened there can be no such evidence once
12:05 pm
again that the u.s. and its european allies are consciously ask awaiting tensions with russia preferring systematic confrontation to many full constructive concentration. when it comes to what's next for alexina valley well a german government spokesman was asked just that on the weapons day he said that he had no further information on the whereabouts of alexina volley or what his plans were. artie's peter are reporting live from berlin then kyo. all right let's now bring in geo political analyst and consultant rainer office for more on this story now we heard that russia's foreign ministry spokesperson accusing western countries of a distant from asian campaign over the numbers in the case do you think the various accusations being thrown around are making it more difficult to establish what happened. i think it's really hard to establish what has happened in reality because. we are of course in a geopolitical competition game here which directs the different narratives
12:06 pm
from the west we have not seen from charity hospital from the german government we have not seen any real proof of the poisoning of aleksandr no valid me. we have not had any sharing of probes of examples we have just been informed that the o.p.c. w. has received some material for analysis but. if the german government and the laboratories of the buddhist together with celebratory in france and sweden all confirm the same allegations of poisoning this is not yet approved we are dealing with geopolitical competition situation and we have to see this case in that light of course. just last hour we had
12:07 pm
a chance to speak with russia's permanent representative to the o.p.c. debbie who expressed his doubts over the know which help claims to find it strange that not only survived after allegedly being poisoned with a deadly nerve agent. well if we look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. if it has been applied. not by any what has died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so it's not really likely that really was in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media. as it has been already established as being. nerve agent developed by the subject's union and therefore it is supposed that the russian government still uses it but there is not any
12:08 pm
substantial proof for that claim and for me it's more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds as i said before because the anglo-saxon and the us american powers are in mere panic about the fact that the north stream to pipeline is about being finished quite soon only 160 kilometers out of over $1000.00 are missing and this is their main concern so they need to give some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because it would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries' economical legia politically and therefore there are great great political a geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project and you need to tell the public why. as you mentioned earlier moscow has asked time to
12:09 pm
share data on the case why do you think berlin is being so unwilling to do so what's the harm in sharing that information. yeah i mean it's obvious that if there is clear evidence germany would be interested in sharing this evidence with russia and if it is not there it's of course better to share it just with friendly laboratories and chest and nourish the narrative that russia of course is to blame for this alleged poisoning therefore the total in transparency of the german government also in their press conferences if any reporters ask for more evidence and more proof behind what is publicly being declared there is total silence a total blocking of information. you were touching on the nordstrom to pipeline
12:10 pm
project earlier and while we're speaking politicians in germany and the u.s. actually have a link to the north stream to pipeline project saying it should be scrapped due to the number poisoning how likely do you think that is of happening and are those calls going to gain strength or fade away. well. i was quite sure about a year ago that the pipeline project would be going to be finished that now and not that sure anymore because the pressure is rising and i see the alarming signal that also inside the german government not all the pressure becomes more concrete to stop this pipeline project and i'm really wondering why because it's clearly in the in the interest of germany interest in a sense of also earning money by just. selling this gas further on to other european countries by securing also the german over
12:11 pm
whole of the whole energy system because we want to close down all our atomic plants and all our cool plants and therefore we need to have a reliable energy source and the gas from russia or thought that union has proved to be safe for many decades whereas the united states claimed that they could provide safety for us by sending fracking gas to germany at a much higher price of course but also ecological ie the really really. harmful fracking gas and in the winter of 20182019 the united states were not even able to send one gallon of this fracking gas to europe instead they had to order one tanker off a liquid gas from russia because of a very cold winter so how can germany rely. on its energy security by trusting on
12:12 pm
this very expensive and ecologically harmful in secure american gas that is not clear to me and the green party also makes a lot of pressure for stopping to stop the pipeline and this is also very doubtful because they are supposed to support more ecological is so you shouldn't over fracking gas solutions they expect the o.p.c. debbie to be impartial and objective in its handling of this case we do know that office had very little success in getting through to berlin in sharing information but they've also made a request to the o.p.c. that itself for all members to have access to the evidence that germany has sent them while the this is really hard to say because i mean if we trust 100 percent into international organizations we are fooled because if we look at the w.h.o.
12:13 pm
for example in handling the press and corona crisis and politics we see that there is also external influence on behalf of stronger or also private actors in these organizations and who can make sure he can guarantee that the o.p.c. w. handles everything very very clearly and transparently i think there should be given more trust to o.p.c. w. than to the german government because they are part of the game of the geopolitical game as it is the united states and great britain and sweden and also france. yeah we have to keep up this doubt and skepticism because. trust is something very rare that we can use to come along in global and international geopolitical relations. and iraq has 2 political analysts and
12:14 pm
consultant thank you for finding the time to join us on the program today your come . crowds are now gathering and men scrape protest against the belorussian president alexander lukashenko this comes just hours after he was sworn in for a 6th term the unrest has been ongoing since the disputed election on august the 9th. we cannot cross live to r.t. is mongols live in minsk run could you tell us what's happening and dollars and how the public is reacting to a surprise and. what it's becoming very tense now police have just fired water cannon behind us they're still firing water cabin there's a line of policeman now trying to remove the demonstrators from a central square here and means hundreds of people 2 perhaps a few 1000 gathered just behind me and literally a few minutes ago police began pressing in on them we sure are number of people

12:17 pm
members ended up seeing bellerose for europe the european union which has taken a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we heard senior officials in the in the european union say that they aren't meddling or interfering what they're doing copy construed as foreign interference into the domestic affairs of bellerose rather that they're doing the right thing by supporting the opposition by stress supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling this meddling but we've also seen a condemnation today especially as several european countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they wound recognize the inauguration of president of the shape of that it was a farce and that he's no longer a legitimate president. this ceremony was prepared secrets and was held without the participation of the public this is significant we cannot recognize the
12:18 pm
results of the election in belarus accordingly cannot claim any democratic legitimacy after it is a ceremony. such a farce forged elections forged integration the former president bill or is does not become less former quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that these tales. extend to inaugurated today has no legitimacy to lead his country he is responsible for presidential elections in both groups we should neither free nor slovakia's tears were said to those of bill rose. as i mentioned a little earlier several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they were plotting away they were running away they were being judged by police with battens the police had warned them that they should disperse this this was an unsanctioned protest but many of the demonstrators didn't move they chanted
