by the 10 pm on tuesday here in moscow my name's colleen break with the world news and reaction that we're tracking for you here at r.t. international this hour 1st the global chemical weapons washed the o.p.c. w. has confirmed the traces of the nerd nerve agents were found in the biological samples taken from the russian opposition leader and next. 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 misnomer blood and urine samples have similar structural characteristics as the toxic chemicals o.p.c. documents has made its way here and we know that much. it's fraught hearing from

the kremlin spokes person to me to the best goal of that information is gets to arrive in moscow to come in useful we do possess their finding said the moment it needs time for such information to be delivered through our diplomatic channels 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 cannot come without consequences well the e.u. council president charlotte mashal has said that the the reaction from the e.u. to with the valley case will be discussed at next week's e.u.

council summit takes place the 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 i think there is an incredibly strong case for moscow's who wants or will have to consider what further action we take we turned this axis and issue to introduce mr knows i mean we asked. the contrary we think indeed to have 2 children to induce to 2 to assess what to do. on monday the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons said that it would share its findings with moscow including evidence it says shows that alexei navalny was poisoned using a nerve agent from the novacek 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 said. gay lover often expressed his frustration at burley in it in

particular the fact that 3 previous requests for sharing information from berlin with moscow and gone on he did that i fell off was currently being considered it is the law for also you said that russia's 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 saloon the function of course we're 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 is in the so-called script palled case when the charges were announced but no facts were presented 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. the head of russia's foreign

intelligence service is warning that terrorists including from the notorious to about al nasra group a seeking to join the conflict in the corner karabakh the disputed caucasus territory that seeing fighting intensify between azerbaijan and armenia with an update next he calls donald. 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 over nagorno-karabakh 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 now among these groups the most notorious one as well 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 folk 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 . 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 azerbaijan hire these militants and then ship them to the frontline of nagorno-karabakh while in fact has accused as arab i join of doing this as well but it's one of the aspects of this conflict you have to understand that well both sides here the queues 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 as they are by john has said that there are no foreign fighters in its ranks and in fact in turn accused armenia of hiring foreign

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 moscow on brazil doing this crisis and bringing the sides to get to the negotiating table i will be bringing you more as i learn it. it goes down over well as the fighting continues dozens of civilians have been killed on both sides parts of the disputed region have been left severely damaged well humanitarian groups have raised the alarm over the level of violence and the number of civilian casualties the situation's also tense in areas near the contested region by sean government claims the country's 2nd largest city came under fire on monday this is video of a market to be shelled according to be a serious or at least a mania though denies that it's fired on as of march on territory meanwhile as areas outside the conflict zone a doing all they can to help local forces a local reporter sent more details from the capital. in the wake of the recent

advances of the words an army in the continent. people both in who are in the region of the consolidated and want make their own contribution. for the progress in all this hold it throughout the capital several collection. by this initiative of the people they want something from they all we're all the idea a sense just. 2 trucks just today were sent about 150 baht boxes i think of big portion of the salary we must be spent this way significantly here to stand our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers there we're always with them. it's statement even should that be the big gratitude to the people for this but in the same time they said that people military personnel leave who are equipped and provided it is all neat and in order to prevent any kind

or need to use an irrational or new thought the president set up a temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the officers in the missile defense and then they will help them to reduce the assistance to the destination final destination that of the soldier or national army. or trump is back in the white house having spent the past 4 days in hospital after testing positive for covert 19. learned so much about current virus and one thing that 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 2 days ago felt great we're going back we're going back to work we're going to be out front and you're leader 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 while his comments inferior to many medical experts who said it downplayed the threat of the virus which is also slap to misinformation censorship flagon a trump tweet comparing covert to the flu after being discharged the president returned to the white house by helicopter he then appeared on a balcony and removed his mask for a photo op despite trump claiming that people shouldn't be afraid of the virus covered of course is still taking a significant toll on the united states schools have been closed again in a number of new york neighborhoods where cases a surging one small more number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hot spot cluster that is not interested we're going to close the schools in those areas for more. the u.s. as a whole remains the pandemics global hot spot on friday new infections had a 2 month record with more than $54000.00 cases that's the highest daily tele since

mid august we got reaction from people in new york about the latest decision to close schools the. why was people at mills closed there is no way to take what was my son's school which is actually to want to toy with out loud to the laws of its proceeds to the students of the day that they're going to make a move. some with the scourge at the same time or. whatever the whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that the school particulars are to. be 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 since back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state governor andrew cuomo says the buck stops with local officials the state conseco of effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will not perform effective enforcement violating entities notify the

states and who close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to compliance 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 legal 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 in. pact 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 coven positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother one of the 1st one to say there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks we're talking about reopening in one week in new york city. and now we're seeing these methods maersk gatherings over the past several nights that could in fact exacerbate the covert 19 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 to task i think it's another reminder of why what some of us have

been saying is right 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 new york governor andrew cuomo admits the leaders of the state have 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 you said the worst. case death rate statistics and little was fraid of the incidence of cope in the

country because much of the media in the united states is entirely in cahoots with the democratic party cuomo hasn't suffered any consequences on that 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 and across the atlantic that's been a major embarrassment to britain. efforts to combat coded after nearly 16000 positive test results from england vanished from the national tracing system hampering efforts to find people who'd been in contact with infected individuals. thousands of people blissfully unaware that 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 the error occurred at the end of last month's data fell to transfer from labs to an x.l.

spreadsheet used to tally the numbers the misleading figures suggested the situation was beginning to plateau but the missing cases confirmed think ukase still on the 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 would generally shouldn't should so pricey that's the way to make it work when the arrow was 1st announced there was an online outcry not least because it was revealed that the supposedly world beating test and trace system was using an outdated 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 every small numbers

would large and big numbers so this is a serious business the number 40 would come to these living will it's a new app and i imagine they'll develop it as time goes on and there's a real president of the n.h.s. 16000 if that because it's a big believe could be full 1000 but into the test it will open up a fiction in the case of the repository they could have dished out a lot better and then looked at it and i doubt we'd be in such a hard predicament that the government's going to have to rethink something you're going to think people will produce it intends to go see mission to fix it. that's enough of their expressions to something that still feel guys already should be putting probably. means on here in moscow the man is warning that the covert situation is reaching a critical point as the infection rate moves closer to the peak of the pandemic in the spring but take a look at that for you after the break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come to advocate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

all over again the coronavirus is once again tightening its grip on the russian capital the last 24 hours see more than 4000 new infections recorded in moscow leading city authorities to bring in new restrictions since nicky aaron now explained 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 mass a case of beyond 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 a 1000 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 lockdown 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 the 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 have been reopened to cope with the rising

number of covert cases those are the stuff. 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 that and highlighted what a critical role these 2 facilities will play in the fight against the virus certainly would be good if these hospitals did 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 work effectively and will save the lives of many people in moscow so moscow is at once again bracing itself the city or thirty's have said that these measures should be enough to stem the further spread of the virus however as we have seen in other countries everybody has to play a role we're all responsible for following the rules wearing our masks keeping our distance and washing our hands because nobody wants to return to another lockdown.

our reports in the capital of saying that stun grenades have been heard in the capital bishkek despite a multinational corps for calm in the central asian country protests erupted into chaos on monday following the weekend's disputed parliamentary poll one person's been killed in the riots more than 700 others injured the electoral commission has now we know of the results of the vote. i'm sure the teacher you. must listen. to. the name of the birth of. the. title of the king of the jungle people in the film.

has. a prime minister and several regional heads of now resigned the capital's macwhich to after protesters occupied city hall and planted replacement yes or sensible so cold i never want to maintain a what a local journalist in bishkek sent us this report on the aftermath of monday night's violence the alytus queer the how did occur distance political life is still full of people political leaders b.s. that they're going to last an action of protest in the center of the sca trying all day to figure out how the council will get out of the political crisis the central election commission today declared the elections in the country invalid and in the morning they lead us a political botches that did not answer parliament began to apply to offices of the ministries the current parliament was going to meet in the one of their tails 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 current member of government to clear that they continue to fulfill their judas the national bank called on commercial banks to stop their activities until the situation is could fight believe is a political movements continue negotiation. themselves it is not known what the president of the country because he's going to do in this situation the demonstrations to continue but perhaps called evening will make its own adjustments to morris one of 4 russia today from. smartphone apps being launched in the u.k. to record remotely store video of police stop and searches law firms behind the move and says it's to ensure that there's evidence of any interaction with officers 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 lost the new app a blow to the cloud in real time so if something happens to the phone the video saved the launch comes amid growing debate about the disproportionate use of stop and search towards members of the black community the latest 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 police claim though that the practice is only used when necessary. stop and searches never used lightly 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 with that means looking for weapons drugs or stolen property the man behind the up criminal lawyer michael herford explain to us why he designed this and outlined his own personal experience with police. i developed this because it's something that's

been. causing much strife for generations in the black and ethnic minority communities although i must stress that this is not just aimed at black an ethnic minority people it's for anyone who who is at risk of being stopped and searched and it's something that happens to me so i was in a car with 4 other law students as it happens and it's we experienced what was a hard stop with 2 police vehicles blocked us in the stop was done extremely aggressively where the the police were 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 there was a geisha of any. misconduct by the police to rapidly assess the evidence which is what this ups designed to to collect and protect and it will be

a very valuable asset i suspect for for people when the unbelievable happens they will now be believed. i'm going to finish with a read but beautiful site from china which is celebrating its mid autumn festival holiday in one province visitors get to experience a unique phenomenon. yeah

that's going to be a little moment of calm at tuesday cause a report is moments away with max and stacey for now then from a column by in the moscow news team thanks for watching join us for next update in just a one off without. nuclear power plants have become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t.
