courts account in clashes and arrests in the better russian capital as protests sweep minsk following the surprise inauguration yesterday of president alexander look. for good morning from moscow my name is kevin owen here at the world the center with the latest this thursday morning 1st lens refusing in every possible way then to respond to moscow's requests for information on the alleged poisoning of alexy novell me is the allegation it's the claim from russia's permanent representative to chemical weapons watched over the o.p.c. w. in an interview to r.t. . the russian federation has been waiting for answers from our german colleagues the general prosecutor's office has sent 2 requests for legal assistance unfortunately we have not received any answers there were various explanations from
3:02 am
the german side firstly there were references to national secrets the german said they were afraid of revealing secrets and german technologies during our specialist acquaintance with the results of the analysis in a boon to swear laboratory. then our german colleagues started talking about the necessity of the prior approval of look sane of all these relatives after that they referred to in a volley himself all in all the germans have delayed the response in every possible way through deliberately delaying the process impeded the completion of the preliminary inquiry in russia that was held in order to ascertain whether there is an offense or not and then to start an extensive investigation into the case that dealt with the russian citizen on russian territory. it's like a vicious circle on the one hand german officials said that they were ready to refer the case to the o.p.c. w. and the case becomes a multilateral one on the other hand the o.p.c. w. claims that they will not share the information without the consent of the germans
3:03 am
that is why we have taken some measures we've sent a letter to the germans permanent missions to the o.p.c. w. referring to article 9 paragraph 2 we requested the german side to provide us with comprehensive information on a whole range of questions relating to involve these case we are talking about test results biological and clinical samples and everything connected with this case german colleagues are required to respond within 10 days the countdown has already started the only snow been discharged from a hospital in berlin then with medics saying a full recovery is possible while still not commenting on only long term conditions russia and germany meantime continue to trade accusations and bond on says over the case. this league. is not the responsibility of the german authorities to going to act investigation the crime was committed in russia and that's why urgent at the yield to russian side used to comment on the matter. with germany refusing to share samples or in the family's treatment details or later russian investigator talked
3:04 am
to him which there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete an extra limit reproaching clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding that russia take a needed action we get the impression the germans are still in for time in finding various pretext to avoid sharing 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 balinese illness any such claims are lice to a political analyst when iraq 1st believes some in the west all using the novelli case to achieve political goals. we look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. if it has been applied never only what have died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so it's not really likely that novacek really was
3:05 am
in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media narrative for me it's more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds of the anglo-saxon and the us american powers are in panic about the fact that the north dream to pipeline is about being finished quite soon 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 geopolitical geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. because the cases on the rise in france the government's tightening measures there are most affected parts of the country but the attempts to try to contain the spread of the

deadly viruses outrage from some local governments shall aduba and ski reports from paris. well the health minister in france has outlined new restrictions which sparked this war of words on social media between himself and local officials what he announced on wednesday evening is that 2 departments in france we placed into a maximum alert that means that from saturday for a 2 week period a limited period we're told there will be a closure of bars and restaurants people won't be able to go out to some public spaces and the 2 areas impacted are guadalupe and mar say now we know that restrictions have been divisive people have been unhappy about them in the past but nobody nobody could have predicted the fear is reaction by mark sayes own mare i was astonished and angry with the decision the city of massey did not consult anyone nothing related to the health situation can justify this announcement i do not accept the fact that we are the victims of political decisions that no one
3:07 am
understands well other elected officials were equally as angry with the president of one of the local regions impacted describing this as being collective punishment but the health minister hit back and said that he did consult with the local officials before making those announcements. the decisions announced this evening and warned them the motive for the people of must see are aimed precisely as protecting them while all the health indicators are very degraded. not so says the regional president 2 says that a call from the health ministry in the moments before these restrictions were announced did not constitute a consultation and he has argued that these decisions were taken unilaterally by the french government now other restrictions have also been put in place for areas such as here in paris paris is now on an enhanced alert area which means that from
3:08 am
monday next week bars will have to ship by 10 pm in the evening they'll be a restriction on gatherings no more than 10 people gathering together in public settings and we know that sort of large scale events like protests where they were allowed to be around 5000 people that is now going to be limited to 1000 people and the local authorities have the right to impose stricter restrictions if they wish to do so this is because the health minister said that the situation across the current tree is deteriorating rapidly that should be distributed is increasing sharply the infection rate is constantly rising we are as $95.00 cases per 100000 inhabitants we must take additional measures it is necessary. or france has been using a color coded map to show the rates of transmission of 1000 that's pretty much been a green yellow red traffic light type of system but now the red zones have been
3:09 am
split into subcategories and if you look at the map now most of the country is in shades of red suggesting that there is a high rate of transmission of coded 19 let's not forget that france is carrying out around a 1000000 tests every week so that rate is likely to go up but what's concerning the officials is the fact that in the last week there have been 3 days where more than 13000 new cases have been registered and in addition to that hospital admissions have gone up by double to around 1000. we know that hospitals in france are under strain the health minister is people to abide by the restrictions so continue social distancing wear a mask wash our hands and even suggested that people should tale some of their social activities restricting that all in an effort to try and be the transmission of this virus but as we've seen 2 areas of france including marsay already now in this maximum alert zone and other departments will be looking at the figures and
3:10 am
wondering when they are going to slide potentially into that category and face their own mini restrictions and lockdowns but the feature to be there our correspondent in paris meantime are over the channel britain's number of daily reported covert cases rose by a quarter on wednesday the government's continuing to impose new measures to curb the spread of senior medics are calling on all people to get the flu vaccine too with the latest study showing that co-infection with both flu cove it increases the risk of death by 6 times those colon folk to also have twice the risk of death as those infected with covert alone doctors are also asking the public not to dismiss the risks of flu as it takes approximately $12000.00 lives every year we discussed the issue with dr healy car. what we know from with the data is what we have is people who've got like health conditions have
3:11 am
a significantly higher risk of contracting close to 90 and the flu virus and stuff that's why we as g.p.'s and the government is encouraging people who are actually risk to come in and take up the feet of flu vaccinations so that we can limit the spread and reduce debt as much as we can and reduce the transmission of this virus in the community this is going to be uniquely challenging when tough because we've called boyce the flu and 19 and unfortunately pros have relatively similar symptoms due to which people might find it difficult to differentiate between them so it's all the more important for people to observe the social distancing guidance and by no means just take over 900 of flu vaccine like seattle. police officers have been shot right now in hospital in louisville kentucky amid arrest in the city protesters are angry after only one of 3 officers was charged in the fatal shooting of african american brianna turner and mark.
3:12 am
the. grand jury returned an indictment only against brett in the senate causing him of wanton endangerment but protest as well the office is charged with murder police are being deployed in the area brianna taylor a 26 year old black woman was fatally shot in march by louisville police offices place was serving a search warrant at her apartment to look for drugs at the time fair going to tell this boyfriend opened fire while offices shot but and taylor who was unarmed was killed we got opposing reaction from our guests. there's been a lot of talk in the news about the case with a lot of very wrong facts and today for the 1st time the right facts were explained by the attorney general of the state of kentucky is a legal setting making it legal for grand jury findings the police were returning
3:13 am
fire on a bad guy who fired at them 1st knowing they were police police do have the right to defend themselves in the course of drug criminals who fire at them 1st they have the right it's even specifically laid out in state law in the state of kentucky if they're fired during the course of their work they're entitled to fire back if only to defend themselves and that is what they were doing and in the course of that self-defense briana taylor was struck but it's definitely mr walker's fault not the police's fault that the gun fight got started and that it ended up going in her direction that it is all going to come down on him. who works for the things you don't want to punish. him or agenda that's one number to my like reticences to have not fully showing this all of their power and
3:14 am
influence to. they control their communities to preserve the middle east and she demanded to see both justice and say over the policing in their areas if they see got sheriff's a lot of times these people go on to the bombers or go to their community or incense certain police departments people get paid money and they get money when they kill people like what used to happen to the delta a certain east there is some charge there is a new young black a trainee general that is done something they've given the huge payout to be on its heels family i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this because there's a lot more going on than what we any of us know. and this is how tense national for a good morning for me kevin 0 in on the rest the same hope you can stick around coming up florida's attorney general wants a probe into billionaire democrat mike bloomberg paying off the fines of state
3:15 am
felons so they can vote we'll tell you more. when else seemed wrong. but i'll. just tell. me all you have to say proud to stay educated and in danger but it was a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart way just to look for common ground. yes of course the war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a big kiri a state of the margins the only constant for them is insecurity
3:16 am
economists debate individual recovery they speak of the you know what is the reality of. the. morning police have fired water cannon and made more than a dozen arrests as a new wave of protests in the streets of ments where hundreds turned out to denounce the better option president the situation flared up after alexander look because surprise inauguration ceremony which took place earlier than planned. there's also a heavy police presence in the day too with some clashes in the capital several
3:17 am
demonstrators were injured dozens were arrested the unrest has been simmering for almost 7 weeks now since the disputed election the people calling on look to resign they have been counted rallies in support of the president to the rival groups and passed each other on the streets of tons. of potence carried red and white flags while government supporters held red and green warnings out to senior correspondent or goes to visit by the us and followed both the unrest and the police response. very tense now police have just fired water cannon behind us they're still firing mortar cabin there's a line of police been 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 need on them we saw a number of people detained at this he's an unsanctioned rally the government had
3:18 am
ruled that this isn't an unsanctioned rally they had cooled on the demonstrators to disperse but passions are high here there's there's there's a lot of anger among the protesters many of them refused to leave and now they're being chased by police again they just fired would take out an ad to protest this earlier today of course what sparked it all was the surprise though gratian of the better russian president alexander lukashenko there was no grated for a seat presidential tub came as a complete surprise there was a new warning this new hint that it would happen people need to learn that he had been a new great as he was giving this speech as he as he was giving a speech thanking his supporters saying that the the revolution in ukraine colored revolution in ukraine had failed in the. better russians by electing him as their president again that protected their freedoms their independence and peace.
3:19 am
dear fellow on the solemn day the president. feeling the world with a lot of pride for both the russians who have lost with the owner of their beliefs in. the day of our victory convincing is significant and we didn't just elect the president of the country we defended our values our peace our sovereignty. and we still have a lot of. there's been a very strong reaction both here in belarus many of the protesters wearing crowds people crowds to. integration of president many people very unhappy that this has happened they had called for and wanted fresh elections including the opposition which formed the council of council to oversee a new elections and to make sure the present. is the post many of their members ended up leaving bellerose for europe the european union which has taken
3:20 am
a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we had senior officials in the in the european union say that they aren't meddling or interfering what they're doing can't be construed as foreign interference into the domestic affairs of better us rather that they're doing the right thing by supporting the opposition supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling this meddling but we've also seen condemnation today especially several european countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they wound recognize the inauguration of president you can shake of that it was a farce and that he's no longer legitimate president. there was new free democratic president. there is no. democratic legitimacy for the ceremony that took place denny. such a farce forged elections forged integration the former president bill or was does
3:21 am
not become less forma quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that this entails. inaugurated today has no legitimacy to lead his country he is responsible for presidential elections in belarus. free of fair slovakia stands with citizens of belarus. in fact look i shan't just retired that means his orders to state power structures are no longer legitimate and cannot be executor i suppliant a house cat and the only leader elected by the belorussian people and our task now is to build new valorous together. mentioned a little earlier several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they were blotting away they were running away they were being charged 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
3:22 am
for president to leave police begad and deploying war to get into trucks spraying water protesters and now most of them have fled their square biden is empty for all but police. now earlier this week the european union failed to agree on sanctions against a list of 40 belarusian officials accused of election fraud and violence against protesters but journalists in eastern europe especially as martin summers believes the west approach will continue and could push looking closer to russia. solutions on the new question could be probably be agreed at some point but it won't change his position the more imprudently do is push him more towards. the russian federation because you can see in many ways he was trying to steer a middle course between the needs of the russian federation and the demands of the west includes. the local poland baltic states ukraine very hostile
3:23 am
to lucas and co in berlin you could say you've gotten a hold of this from the from the soviets who were lots of the soviet world for states is essentially being pursued and that is the reason wally he says he's been the election this election and the previous fall of elections and if this position now would be prepared to stand down just because a minority seems to be a good go. with election day growing ever closer in the u.s. the battle for votes is in full swing in the billionaire michael bloomberg spring accused of influencing the outcome in florida a key state in the race to the white house and his actions have even drawn the attention of the state's attorney general to his caleb maupin explains. elections in the united states are supposed to be about testing popularity candidates appeal to the public with their ads their speeches and their platform and then the public determines who they like the best it's supposed to be democracy in action money is
3:24 am
supposed to have nothing to do with it critics of the united states often point out that the reality is quite different rich people often have a way of asserting their agenda take the latest example of former new york city mayor mike bloomberg he's a billionaire and he's putting up $16000000.00 to help pay the court fees of black and brown voters in florida who happen to be convicted felons now the former new york city mayor says he is just being generous no political motivations here whatsoever the right to vote is. fundamental to our democracy and no american should be denied that right working together with the florida rights restoration coalition we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it well it just so happens that the courts in florida have ruled that people with felony convictions are not allowed to vote until they have paid off their court fees and fines now until recently they were forbidden from voting
3:25 am
for their entire lives so it looks like a lot of black and latino florida residents who have felony convictions are going to get a nice check from mayor bloomberg to make sure that they're able to vote at the polls this november it just so happens that overwhelmingly black and latino people disapprove of donald trump and his presidency so republicans in florida say this pretty much amounts to bribery i will be calling on the florida attorney general to launch an investigation into mike bloomberg for potentially an gaging in bribery in vote buying in the state of florida bloomberg does not care for donald trump he has laid out cash in florida to maneuver against him before bloomberg recently spent 100000000 dollars in the hopes of beating from when it came to early voting in florida trump shot back at him with his usual style i thought maybe mike was through with democrats bowed to have to spend an almost 2 $1000000000.00 and then given the worst and most in the have to debate performance in the history of
3:26 am
presidential politics booka home to ended his political career and 1st question over seating instead no republican has taken the white house without florida since 1924 it's the biggest swing state in the electoral college margins there can be razor thin think about bush v gore back in 2000 in the 2000 election it came down to just a few 100 votes between the 2 candidates so giving the vote to $32000.00 convicted felons that could make all the difference it amounts to brown. i mean basically bribing people to vote in a certain way and that is clearly against the law in the united states it's very hard to bring criminal charges against somebody fantastically wealthy as bloomberg because somebody like bloomberg will hire the best lawyers of the country to defend him and no government no federal government those state government will want to
3:27 am
bring charges against someone who's going to hire the best lawyers against any prosecution so it's unlikely that very much will come of this but i think there is a lot there to investigate i mean it's a it's a very dubious activity and you can imagine that if trump a done anything like this there would be a huge scandal about this. so i think looking so far check it out see the color of a social media through the stories we're talking about this thursday from the kevin i when signing off for broke. match guys are financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into a cast quite easily. to keep in mind though as if you mean to inflation watch guys
