russia says germany is stalling the probe into the alleged poisoning them by holding back. the global chemical weapons watchdog starting. to deliberately delaying the process the completion of the preliminary inquiry in. whether there is an offense or not. voice their anger over the government's. saying they were never consulted. the pentagon is accused of spending up to a $1000000000.00 of coronavirus funds on military gear.

and broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now russia is accusing germany of using various pretext to withhold information on the election of all the case the russian opposition figurehead recently came out of a coma in berlin where he is being treated for suspected poisoning and moscow's permanent representative to the global chemical weapons watchdog has told r.t. that all requests for data have so far been denied. 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 buddhist were 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 yvonne 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 well the volley has now been discharged from the hospital in berlin his doctors say a full recovery is possible but the potential long term effects are uncertain russia and germany meanwhile continued to demand answers over the case. 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 is to comment on the matter of your 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 knox's 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 you killed that's rather unbecoming for such a great country is germany. i berlin claims election of ali it was poisoned with a substance from another childhood group although these scientists who created the deadly nerve agent are disputing that finding your political analyst ron or office thinks the circumstances of the alleged poisoning are still shrouded in doubt. 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 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 u.s. 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 would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries economical each year politically and therefore there are great great geopolitical 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 a raft of new measures was unveiled on wednesday after a spike in case numbers are reports now 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 zone that means that from saturday for 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 futurists 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 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 on them the measure for the people of must see are aimed precisely as protecting them well 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 per 100000 inhabitants we must take additional measures it is necessary. 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 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 urging people to abide by the restrictions so continue social distancing wear a mask wash our hands and knees even suggested that people should tail 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 mar say 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. is reuters about to send a 2nd mission wide shut down the plan was approved by the cabinet meeting on wednesday night after the infection rate doubled in a 2 week period or days possibly or reports now from tel aviv. new measures that are being imposed are reminiscent 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 on 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 to 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 garage is recommended here as

a last resort and not a solution to demonstrations at the same time this looming lockdown and months 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. there's a lockdown 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. it is being claimed that the pentagon spent 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 most of that money went instead to ship building

maintenance army uniforms satellites drones and space surveillance cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the country's coronavirus response with the u.s. suffering the world's highest coronavirus death toll now this comes at a time of severe supply shortages the us centers for disease control has said an additional $6000000000.00 are needed to distribute potential vaccines next year and it has noted a severe lack of medical grade face mounds the pentagon has not directly responded to the washington post story but has defended the way it has spent coronavirus funds we are thankful that congress provided also 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 into related in our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2. preventative medicine that professor william schaffner says the spending scandal

goes to the very top. obviously we would have preferred those monies go to cope with relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not coated defense but. on forces was made at a very high level clearly the diversion of these follows 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 and control so cold 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 are allocated for good purpose are being spent. coming up in the program republicans are already dover billionaire mike bloomberg fund raising this going to give felons the right to vote with a more short break this is art international. to . to get the valuation you get it by. stock price times current the number

of shares outstanding and if you have knowledge on how to buy back your own stock and pump up those stock prices of executive stock options then you have a high mark and cap but you actually didn't create anything for the economy you didn't engage in any capital expense expenditures the cap ex to expand your company in any way and what'll happen is will happen to i.b.m. you know they want to the whole stock buyback routine and eventually played out in the company is a shambles or general electric general electric is almost absolutely out of business by trying to push i mean listen instead of products.

back this is are 2 international now 2 police officers have been shot and are now hospitalized in the us state of kentucky amid unrest in the city of louisville protesters are angry after only one of the 3 officers was charged in the fatal shooting of african american taylor in march now a grand jury returned an indictment only adventure but henson accusing him of wanting and. enjoyment but protesters want the officers charged with murder police have been deployed in the area. brown taylor who was shot and killed by the police she was only 26 they showed up at her apartment to conduct what is called

a no knock warrant search suspecting there were drugs but fearing it was an intruder taylor's boyfriend opened fire and officers shot back taylor who was unarmed was killed reaction to the grand jury's decision has 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 the right facts were explained by the attorney general of the state of kentucky in a legal setting making a legal grand jury finding 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 works for the cooling and. you don't want to punish your own employees implement your agenda that's one number 2 my black reticences to have not fully 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 area if they see got sheriff's 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 told also certain nice 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 his family i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this. this is a lot more going on than what any of us know. donald trump has branded former new york mayor michael bloomberg a criminal accusing him of paying people to vote this is after the media mogul raised $16000000.00 to boost voter turnout in florida although bloomberg has stressed that none of the money comes from him personally artie's kill him up and has more. 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 trump when it came to early voting in florida trump shot back at him with his usual style. i thought minimize it was through the democrat politics of desponding almost $2000000000.00 and then giving the worst a move in the 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 who has a 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 about. canada's parliament is back at work after prime minister justin trudeau controversially suspended it amid scandals tying him to corruption and rising covert levels but as don quarter comments the accusations against a trudeau are not going away. last month trudeau suspended parliament claiming ottawa needed a better long term strategy for call the damage control after all the country's coronavirus cases are nearly at $150002.00 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 'd 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 truth 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. and that was a female back with headlines in about 34 minutes stay with us international. cast calendar is dark alfonzo a monday. this changing take change dard served our.

his 1st words were added i will see you're a challenging post you've got 2 years to me and. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal. defense concentrate market is a $1000000000.00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to sow these products there are numerous stockings showing that doctors were keen to cast factory concentrates for insights of its own that patients want gives them doctors the wrong stoplight. accomplished on why they would keep me from security procedures day to day and people still die i'm always question or so i tried being hard to leave when so many have.

the demick no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. as a marginal to 30 we don't look back seem. commentary . we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges grateful to response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

it's an amazing country with so many friends in russia and i'm very excited to be here. i love that idea i think i can. make a lot of money with. hundreds of me. here is a nice one. a great one and nobody builds last better than me believe and i'll build them very inexpensive like a great great wall. just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for. what

happened so. we'll see on the hill who will be success. the impact of the upcoming fight for the supreme court on the 2020 alexion on this is the politics. welcome to politicking on larry king why a confirmation of a 3rd trump nominated supreme court justice looks virtually certain the impact on the 2020 election is a highly politicized question mark and we'll get one on one perspective from 2 men who come from very different partisan camps but who share experience working in the senate will begin with david brown democratic strategist former majority counsel to democratic senator patty murray on 2 congressional committees and he is in

washington ok to get right to it david mcconnell so.
