holding crucial. to the global chemical weapons. deliberately delaying the process did the completion of the preliminary inquiry in russia. there is an offense for not. saying they were never consulted. on the pentagon's accused of spending a $1000000000.00 of coronavirus. instead.

of the 25th and. welcome to news from the national. russia is accusing germany of using various pretexts with old information on the case the russian opposition figure had recently came out of. being treated for a suspected. representative to the global chemical weapons watchdogs told requests for data. 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 the german side firstly there were references to national secrets the german said they were afraid of revealing secrets and german technologies during our specialists 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 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. novelli has now been discharged from hospital in berlin and his doctors say that a full recovery is possible but the potential long term effects are uncertain russia and germany meanwhile continue to demand answers from each other over the case. this. is not the responsibility of the german authorities to conduct an investigation the crime was committed in russia and that's why urgent appeal to russian side used to comment on the matter. are prosecutor general's office has lodged official requests with their colleagues in germany france and sweden and with the o.p.c. doubly calling on them to fulfill their obligations under the european convention on mutual assistance in criminal matters we have still not received any replies but we're hearing nonsense called public comments including the remarks of german officials who say everything that happened in the valley took place on russian soil

so we're not going to help you in any way you have to sort it out on your own but we demand that you admit your guilt that's rather unbecoming for such a great country is germany but then claims that alexina valley was poisoned with a substance from the novacek group although the scientists who created the deadly nerve agent are disputing that finding your political analyst rana rauf 1st thinks the circumstances of the alleged poisoning still shrouded in doubt. 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 novacek really was 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 stream to pipeline is about being finished quite soon so they need to get some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because it won't bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries economical each year politically and therefore there actor a great political a geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. regional leaders in france are pushing back against the government over a new set of tough coronavirus restrictions raft of new measures were unveiled on wednesday after a spike in case numbers show do bensky report from paris. or the health minister in france as 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 so in 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 mar ses 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 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 won them the most are 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 too 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 monday next week buyers will have to shop 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 $5000.00 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 if you distribute it is increasing sharply the infection rate is constantly rising we are at $95.00 cases bru 100000 inhabitants we must take additional measures it is necessary. france has been using a color coded map to show the roots 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 split into subcategories and if you look at that 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 30. 1000 new cases have been registered and in addition to that hospital admissions have gone up by double to around 1000 and 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 knees 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 wondering when they are going to slide potentially into that category and face their own mini restrictions and lockdowns for the future. and if they can

things further in israel which is about to enter a 2nd nationwide shutdown the plan was approved at a cabinet meeting on wednesday night after the infection rate doubled in a 2 week period reports next from tel aviv. and you missions that are being imposed are women the scent of the lockdown that the country put in place back in march that was the 1st nationwide lockdown and what we're hearing now from prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that a full lockdown will be in place from tomorrow friday until october the 10th he has said that hopefully some of the measures will be eased even sooner now last week we did see the country go into full locked arms it meant that schools were a strong hotels were completely shut but people were allowed out doors for exercise or for gathering for prayer meetings or protests now all of that is being forbidden israel is the 1st country in the developed world to be imposing a 2nd lockdown i mean. the situation is difficult there is a steep rise we have to take decisions the decisions are tough but as prime

minister i am a blood to save your lives and you need to understand that there is a danger to lives and that's why there is no choice but some take the difficult decisions and we will save lives with your cooperation. there has been a recent surge in covered positive cases one day so i record high 70000 people being registered now that has been a heated debate in parliament between netanyahu who is calling for a full lockdown and the rest of his cabinet there are those who are suggesting that netanyahu wants a lockdown because it's a way to silence history tractors who is asking for complete closure it is not us it is the prime minister i hear the health professionals say the reason the reason for general closure i want to understand why food grows is recommended. as a last resort and not a solution to demonstrations at the same time this looming lockdown and nonce to an admission of failure by prime minister netanyahu it was only

a few months ago when he boasted that he was the world's best prime minister at handling the crisis at that time is always one of the 1st countries to seal its borders and imp. has a lock down but soon afterwards it was criticized for opening up its economy too soon and the virus returned we now have a situation that every week there were protests in front of the prime minister's residence in jerusalem with people calling on the prime minister to resign for both corruption charges and for what they say is his mishandling of the whole coronavirus pandemic. i think claim that the pentagon spend up to a $1000000000.00 of coronavirus funds on military equipment including jet engines and body armor congress this year gave the defense department a $1000000000.00 to battle the coronavirus but a washington post report claims that most of that money went instead of ship building maintenance army uniforms satellites drones and space surveillance the cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the country's coronavirus response but

the u.s. of course suffering the world's highest coronavirus death toll this comes of course of the time of severe supply shortages the u.s. centers for disease control has said an additional $6000000000.00 and needed to distribute potential vaccines next year this noted a severe lack of medical grade facemasks for the pentagon's not directly responded to the washington post story but it's defended the way that it spent coronavirus funds. we are think for the congress provided or thirty's and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in domestic production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and national security a very tightly interrelated in our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine professor william schaffner says the spending scandal goes to the very top. obviously we would have preferred those monies go to code released i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the defense

budget. on forces was made at a very high level clearly the diversion of these falls from the public health programs of the united states is very misguided i would think that the appropriate congressional committees would do an investigation to find out why this happened and to correct this if a $1000000000.00 was misused we had better look to the rest also to see how those monies were expended the distribution of the vaccine is going to be our next major effort here in the united states to stop or to 'd reduce controls so cool that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of the united states has to hold the executive branch to account they have to be

absolutely. very attentive to how these monies allocated for good purpose are being spent. over some more money maneuvers we'll look at a bit later the republicans in the u.s. are outraged over billionaire my gloom burghs fundraising scheme to give felons the right to vote to get on to that among all stories off of the brake. lining at the valuation you get it by cation up stock price times current number of shares outstanding and if you have knowledge on how to buy back your own stock and pump up those stock prices and executive stock options then you have a higher market cap actually didn't create anything for the economy it it gave you any capital expand it. spent that you're back to expand your company in any way then what'll happen is will happen and i.b.m.

you know they want to the whole stock buyback routine and eventually played out in the company as a shambles or general electric general electric is almost absolutely out of business by trying to push me instead of products. this is. politics during this election cycle the economy in a big state of the margins the only constant is the. economists debate individual recovery. is the reality of change. all over again 2 police officers have been shot and currently in hospital in the u.s. state of kentucky amid unrest in the city over louisville protesters they're angry

after only one of 3 officers was charged in the fatal shooting of african american woman brianna taylor in march a grand jury returned an indictment. accusing him of wanton endangerment of protesters when the officers charged with. police have been deployed in the area. brianna taylor who was 26 was fatally shot when police showed up at her apartment to conduct what's called a no knock warrant suspecting there were drugs inside but fearing that it was an intruder boyfriend opened fire and the officers shot back who was unarmed was killed reaction to the grand jury's decisions been mixed. 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 facts were explained by the attorney general of the state of kentucky in a legal setting making illegal. the police were returning 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 trying to apprehend 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 got started and that it ended up going in her direction it is all going to come down on him law enforcement who works for the ruling and. you don't want to punish your own employees implement your agenda that's one number 2 my black reticences to have not so we harness all of their power and influence to control their communities to preserve their communities and to demand to see both justice and

say over the policing in their areas if they see got show i see a lot of times these people go on to the. riviera and say it's certain police departments people get paid money and they get money when they kill people like what used to happen. there's some charge there is a new young black attorney general that has done something they've given the huge pay out to be out of family i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this. this is a lot more going on then what any of us know. branded former new york mayor michael bloomberg a criminal accusing him of paying people to vote it's after the media mogul raised $16000000.00 to boost voter turnout in florida. stresses that none of the money actually comes from him personally kaleb open has more on the story. 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 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're 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 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 $100000000.00 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 minimize was through the democrat politics of desponding almost $2000000000.00 and then giving the worst to move in that debate performance in the history of presidential politics 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 convicted felons that could make all the difference it amounts to bribery 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 as fantastically wealthy as

bloomberg because somebody like bloomberg will hire the best lawyers in the country to defend him and no government no federal government those state government will want to 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 of the. kind of this pollens back of work off the prime minister justin trudeau controversially suspended it amid scandals tying him to corruption and rising covert levels but as don quarter now reports the accusations against going away. last month trudeau suspended parliament claiming ottawa needed a better long term strategy for covert damage control after all the country's

coronavirus cases are nearly at 150002 those handling of the pandemic has been widely criticized no more than ever comedians are looking for clarity and leadership but what they have gotten from the trudeau government is confusion and repeated delays so it's all about the coronavirus right nothing to do with a corruption scandal we have a prime minister and a cabinet that is golf engulfed in a massive corruption scandal for those currently under investigation for nearly $1000000000.00 contract with an organization called we charity it was paying his family members huge speaking fees for years but the agreement was since cancelled after accusations that it amounted to a conflict of interest no wonder all the suspicions and suspending parliament also puts all current investigations on hold if so gross and disgusting that this prime minister keeps using the pandemic as an excuse for his corruption believe it or not

trudeau promised never to suspend parliament after his predecessor used the same mechanism called to weasel his way out of a vote of no confidence now the trick is promises broken he had some explaining to do the probation we're doing right now is about gaining or testing the confidence of the house which is the opposite of what the conservatives did that we rightly railed against back in 2015 approval rates are tanking the opposition's on the offensive and the coronavirus continues to ravage the contrie these are tough times for both the canadian people and trudeau. that's your news for now i'll have your next r.t. update in just over half an hour from now. is

you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led. to direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. poverty

. if you're born into a poor family i. 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. if you're born into generational poverty. it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family.

hi i'm max kaiser this is a kaiser report you know things are not what they seem. so i say. well max you've often talked about the me mcconnel me and the you know the economy getting ever lighter and lighter there are more and more intangibles and this is shown in this chart 84 percent of the s. and p. $500.00 assets are now intend to fools this is a chart of the corporate balance sheets are more knowledge driven s. and p. $500.00 company assets in trillions of dollars and as you see the tangible part of companies they just increase slowly since 975 when 17 percent of a company's assets were intangible back in 1075 and now it's 84 percent companies used to make stuff and they had value terms of the factories and their employees and their trade deals etc but now we have a situation as the chart shows 84 percent of the value intangibles or the knowledge

based on knowledge so take a look at tesla for example they must cause knowledge about how to go on joe rogan and promote his means he has knowledge about creating means he has knowledge about branding he has knowledge of interesting engineering ideas but the actual book value of the company itself is nowhere near the hundreds of billions of dollars we see in the stock market that's true across the board for every single company really in the s. and p. $500.00 they make their cash flow on the ability to game the system and to exert arbitrage spliffs on the data that's being rolled on the various cash tasks of different banks and like you have on lost so eloquently demonstrated on the joe rogan show so. this is interesting use the word knowledge because you think about knowledge any think that it has some basis in some kind of foundation of wisdom but this is knowledge about how to use artificial

intelligence and knowledge about how to use propaganda knowledge about how to use subliminal advertising that it's evil it's evil they might as well just replace intangible with the word evil well i don't know about that but certainly it is an interesting time and we do see it you and i grew up in the 1970 so we saw what it was like to have a more tangible economy and that could be part of why so many people are having a meltdown while we are having problems domestically in the united states in terms of the economic disadvantage you know and the inequality growing so you know it's not like an intangible thing as you mentioned tesla is worth 4 $100000000000.00 based on one guy you know it's not his team of engineers it's not all that other stuff is this this one guy so you know you don't have to manufacture something to be worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars right well how to get the valuation you get by walt.
