parliamentary vote the chaos in the central asian state has left one dead and hundreds injured. by that night in the evening on tuesday here in moscow my name calling brain with a news from r.t. international 1st breaking news you can see at the bottom of your screen there the global chemical weapons watchdog the o p c w has confirmed the traces of the nerve agent were found in the biological samples taken from the russian opposition leader alexina valmy. the results of the analysis by the o.p.c. w. designated laboratories of biomedical samples collected by the o.p.c. w. team and shared with the federal republic of germany confirmed the biomarkers of the inhibitive found a mist in the blood and urine samples have similar structural characteristics as the toxic chemicals. cross development. says correspondent peter all of

a hi again peter take us through then some of the reaction that we've been hearing in the past couple of hours. of the opi c w documents has made its way here to len we know that much but for hearing from the kremlin spokes person to me to the press corps of that information is yet to arrive in moscow. to come in you know we do possess their findings of the moment it needs time for such information to be delivered through our diplomatic channels. well germany has called on russia to provide answers to a number of questions that it has speaking to the media stefan's i bet the german government spokesperson said that the use of a chemical weapon can't go without serious consequences. the german government renews its calls on russia to explain what happened in the coming days there will be a frank exchange between the executive council of the o.p.c. w.

and the circle of e.u. partners about the next steps any use of chemical weapons is extremely serious and can not come without consequences well the e.u. council president charlotte michel has said that the the reaction from the e.u. to the valley case will be discussed at next week's e.u. council summit which takes place this day friday next week we've also heard from dominic robb the u.k. foreign secretary saying that britain was considering what its reaction would be. we turned this excess in the issue to introduce mr nose and me we asked. an independent inquiry anything to do. him to induce to to to assess what to do with europe. i think there is an incredibly strong case for moscow's he wants or will have to consider what further action we take.

on monday the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons said that it would share its findings with moscow including evidence that says shows that alexei navalny was poisoned using a nerve agent from the group at the o.p.c. w. also said they were willing to send a team to russia to aid with an investigation now earlier the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov expressed his frustration at burley in and in particular the fact that 3 previous requests for sharing information from berlin with moscow and gone on he did that i thought that was currently being considered it is the laughter of also you said that russia european partners had been quick to make up their minds when it came to the in the valley case before all of the information is being seen into the flow of thought of course we are interested in establishing the

truth about what happened with alexina valmy as soon as possible but the situation is outrageous it's exactly the same scenario as in the so-called script palled case when the charges were announced but no facts were presented. to you. so the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons says alexei novelli was poisoned with a nerve agent from the north the chalk group that information is being passed here to germany the german government is saying the use of a chemical weapon must result in serious consequences. ok a new chapter up in them by the o.p.c. w. for now peter oliver in berlin thank you. next the head of russia's foreign intelligence service is warning that terrorists including from the notorious to about al nasra group are seeking to join the conflict in the corner karabakh the disputed caucuses territory that seeing fighting intensified between azerbaijan and armenia with an update here don of. so the russian foreign

intelligence service has released a statement a memo and at 1st they just issue a general concern for the wellbeing of the citizens of the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh and they also released a call to both sides to stop the fight he immediately saying that a full blown war in the region is well unacceptable but when it gets interesting is when then they talk about hundreds and perhaps even thousands of syrian fighters on the front lines open a corner cab back they even gave the names of the groups which came here which came to this disputed region to take part in the war have a listen according to the information that is available to russia's foreign intelligence service mercenaries from warring international terrorist organizations in the middle east are actively having to the conflict zone in particular job for cattle harms us holton moron as well as extremist kurdish groups among these groups the most notorious one as well just don't know struck they used to be known as

al-qaeda in syria but lately they changed their name trying to distance themselves from al-qaeda but that didn't help much because they are known for so many for countless acts of terrorism and war crimes and atrocities in syria in fact we prepared a short clip for you too with a breakdown as to what is known about this group but i have to warn you that some images in this clip you may find disturbing. well it's important to underline that the russian foreign intelligence service did

. not specify which side these mercenaries are fighting on although there have been mounting reports and sort of an international consensus that it is turkey that is helping as they are by john hiatt these militants and then ship them to the frontline of nagorno-karabakh well in fact armenia has accused deserve our journey of doing this as well but it's one of the aspects of this conflict you have to understand that well both sides that use each other over a lot of things and then later deny the accusations of the other side this is an example of such each of such a situation for instance is there but john has said that there are no foreign fighters in its ranks and in fact in turn accused armenia of hiring for in soldiers so it's a murky situation at least also this comes to the tune of the foreign minister of turkey saying announcing that ankara is ready to work with more school on resolving this crisis and bringing the sides to get to the negotiating table i will be

bringing you more as i learn it. he goes out of there well as the fighting continues dozens of civilians have been killed on both sides parts of the disputed region have been left severely damage well humanitarian groups have raised the alarm over the level of violence and the number of civilian casualties in the situations also tense in areas near the contested region the azerbaijan government claims the country's 2nd largest city came under fire on monday this is video of a marketable shelled according to his area thora he's a mania though denies it's fired on the territory meanwhile there is outside the conflict zone a doing all they can to help their forces a local reporter said more details from the capital. in the wake of the recent advances but there was an army in the continent. people brought in who are in the region of the you can feel it it is and one make their own contribution. for their progress in all this throughout the capital several. collection point.

is this initiative of the people if they want something from they all. sense just. 2 trucks just today was sent about 150 boxes and i think a big portion of the salary we must be spent this way significantly here to send our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers that we are always with them. statement even should that be the explicit big rescue to the people for this assistance but in the same time they said that people military personnel leave well equipped and provide it is all neat and in order to prevent any kind of misuse and the russians will. even set up temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the offices in the missile defense and they will help them to. be assistant to the destination final destination that of the soldiers or

national. level trump is back in the white house having spent 4 days in hospital after testing positive for cocaine at 19 i learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that's for certain don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago today is going to feel great we're going back we're going back to work going to be out front and cheerleader i had to do that and i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know but don't let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world. well his comments infuriated many medical experts who said it downplayed the threat of the virus twitters also slapped a misinformation censorship flag on a trump tweet comparing covert to the flu after being discharged the president returned to the white house by helicopter and then appeared on

a balcony he then removed his mask for a photo op despite trump claiming that people shouldn't be afraid of the virus cove it is still taking a significant toll on the country schools have been closed again in a number of new york neighborhoods where cases a surgeon one small. my number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hotspot cluster that has not been tested we're going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow. the u.s. as a whole remains the pandemics global hot spot on friday new infections hit a 2 month record with more than $54000.00 cases that's the highest daily tally since mid august we got reaction from people in new york about the latest decision to close schools. why was he thought mills closed there is no great optically why was my son's school which is actually to want to play with out loud to the loss of its proceeds to the student's ability that they're going to make it.

somewhat discouraging at the same time or. whatever whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that the school particulars are doing. kind of more pins been looking at why new york is once again facing a spike in cases. the rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers we've seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state governor andrew cuomo says the buck stops with local officials. say go over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement for violating entities notify the states and to close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to comply now cuomo says words have led to allegations of hypocrisy he's criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the

pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i don't believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i don't believe it's illegal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with governor cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people who lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that nursing homes had to accept coded positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother one of them 1st i want to say the state was there was

a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks are talking about reopening in one week in new york city. and now we're seeing these methods maersk. yeah that rings over the past several nights that could in fact exacerbate to. spread now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state governor andrew cuomo sent his best wishes to president donald trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york city's mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president at wear masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didn't do it and paid the price party lines power and position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now in new york governor andrew cuomo admits the leaders of the state made some pretty big mistakes along the way

however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the democratic party the democratic party's strategy. during the 2020 a lecture and has to run again in a strumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in his handling. of it in the country i mean new york has had the worst. case death rate statistics and little worse rage of the incidence of govt in the country because much of the media in the united states is entirely in coots with the democratic party cuomo hasn't suffered any consequences so yes it's hypocritical but he can get away with it he's going to blame him to go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow say new york at the same time in the media

and watch and allow him to get away with it across the atlantic has been a major embarrassment to britain's efforts to combat cove it off than it is 16000 positive test results from england vanished from the national tracing system bring efforts to find people who've been in contact with infected individuals. thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to code it potentially spreading this deadly virus at a time when hospital admissions are increasing and where in the 2nd wave of the error occurred at the end of last month data fail to transfer from the labs to an excel spreadsheet used to tally the numbers the misleading figures suggested the situation was beginning to plateau but the missing cases confirmed the u.k. still on an upward path forcing the health secretary to admit the mistake this incident should never have happened but the team of acted swiftly to minimize its impact now it's critical that we work together to put this right what i can say is

that all those people obviously being contacted in the key thing is as i say that everybody whether it be in this group or all generally shouldn't should so price that's the way to make it work. when the ira was 1st announced it was an outcry online but least because it was revealed that the supposedly world beating testin trace system was using and i dated version of x.l. that shocked many considering the billions of pounds spent on developing the app we got opinion from people in london. losing knifes every day and we know small numbers are the big numbers so this is a serious business the number 40 would come to these but living in new app and i imagine they'll develop it as time goes on and there is no real president for the n.h.s. $16000.00 if that because it's a big believe could be full 1000 but into the. it will open up the victim in the case of the repository they could it dished out a lot better and not only me and i doubt we'd be in such

a hop if meant that if the government's going up to rethink from their current think people will produce intense pick out the solution people seem. to know their expressions something they're still building are so ready should be followed and probably. meantime here in moscow the mezz warning that the covert situation is reaching a critical point as the infection right moves closer to the peak of the pandemic from the spring we'll take a look at that for you after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. watch his church. forces. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hi again the coronavirus is once again tightening its grip on the russian capital

the last 24 hours to see more than 4000 new infections recorded in moscow leading city authorities to bring in new restrictions says nicky aaron explains. well the russian capital has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of new covert cases up to $4000.00 per day this comes as the country as a whole sees this sharp increase in the number of cases the highest it's seen since the beginning of may this year now the russian capital unless a case of be on it has said the situation in moscow is becoming more serious by the day the situation with 19 is getting more complicated and dramatic day by day in terms of identifying new cases we're preaching the peak we had in spring the number of those hospitalized today has exceeded it sounds and people the op would trend continues now with such a substantial increase in numbers talk on the street has turned to whether moscow is heading for another lock down however there's no official talk of that as of yet however things are tightening up starting from this monday schools were told to

take a 2 week unplanned holiday on top of that people over the age of 65 and those with chronic illnesses will not be able to travel for free on public transport across the city starting from this friday on top of that tickets will be exclusively electronic for places like theaters and other their news and businesses citywide have been told to send at least 30 percent of their employees home to work now on top of these measures to health care facilities that have been reopened to cope with the rising number of covert cases those are the circle in the exhibition and convention center and the score a ice palace now these were built especially to cope with the pandemic. to be and then the most going there was there and highlighted what a critical role these 2 facilities will play in the fight against the virus certainly with that it's through these hospitals do not exist separately they are

part of the moscow hospital infrastructure leading the fight against covert 19 these clinics these inpatient facilities provide necessary medical staff. for the backup hospitals i hope they'll work effectively and will save the lives of many people in moscow so moscow is at once again bracing itself for this if you will for a tease have said that these measures should be enough to stem the further spread of the virus however as we've seen in other countries everybody has to play a role we're all responsible for following the rules wearing on masks keeping our distance and washing our hands because nobody wants to return to another lockdown. new in this from could reports coming in from the capital saying that stun grenades have been heard in bishkek despite a multinational call for calm in the central asian country protests erupted into chaos on monday following the weekend's disputed parliamentary poll one person was killed in the riots and more than 700 others injured the electoral commission has

now would know the results of that vote. the prime minister and several regional heads of now resigned the capital's mayor quit after protesters occupied city hall and proclaimed his replacement the authorities have called on everyone to maintain order

a local journalist in bishkek sent us this report on the aftermath of monday night's violence. the alytus queer the how to curb distance political life is still full of people political leaders to be as to their been asked in an action of protest in the center of the sca trying all day to figure out how the country will get out of the political crisis the central election commission today declared the elections in the country invalid and in the morning bill it is the political parties that did not answer parliament began to buy the offices of the ministries the current problem and was going to meet in the one of the hotels today but only a few deputies came to this meeting at the same time the coordinating council has been created in the country which is represented by a well known political who demand the resignation of the president and they're going to zation of the new government in kurdistan in the meantime a current member of government to clear that they continue to fulfill their duties the national bank called on commercial banks to stop their activities until the situation is could fight the leaders of political movements continue negotiations

themselves it is not known what the president of the countries are emerging because he's going to do in this situation the demonstrations likely to continue but perhaps the cold evening will make its own adjustments to more small enough for russia today from mr. smartphone apps being launched in the u.k. to record and remotely store video of police stop and search is a law firm's behind the move and says it's to ensure there's evidence of any interaction with offices the criminal lawyer behind the app says it can provide a different perspective on an incident compared to police body cam video where cameras are sometimes turned off or recordings last the new app uploaded to the cloud in real time so if something happens to the phone the video saved. i want to comes amid growing debate about the disproportionate use of stop and search towards members of the black community and i just annual figures for england and wales

suggest black people are stopped more than anyone else the practice was brought in amid a spike in violent crimes stop and searches are up 40 percent this year in london alone and police insist that the practice is only used when necessary. stop and searches never used likely and police officers will only exercise their legal right to stop members of the public and search them when they genuinely suspect that doing so will further their investigations into criminal activity where that means looking for weapons drugs or stolen property or the man behind the app criminal lawyer michael but explain to us why he designed it and outlined his own personal experience with police i developed this because it's something that's been. causing much strive for generations in the black and minority communities although i must stress that this is not just black and i think minority people it's for anyone who who is at risk of being stopped and searched and it's something that's happened to me so i was in

a car with 4 other law students as it happened and we experienced what was a hard stop with 2 police vehicles blocked the stop was done extremely aggressively where the the police word was swearing and it was it was truly shocking and i thought that there needs to be. an ability for people the people being stopped and searched and lawyers potentially if the allegations of any . misconduct by the police to rapidly assess the evidence which is what this ups designed to to to collect and protect and it will be a very valuable asset i suspect for for people when the un believe or happens they will now be believed. we're going to finish with a red but beautiful sight from china which is celebrating its middleton festival holiday and one province visits as get to experience a unique phenomenon. stunning

stuff that's the news for now from out in moscow we're going to be watching the whole next with to rally the team in washington d.c. all the me back here to update you on the headlines stories and to see that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic developments only and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. greetings and sell you take you should say all right just when you thought the 2020 reality show series couldn't pack any more twists and turns in steps this season's big bad.
