the political reality. with the one that you know. in headlines this wednesday morning england is saved by a new surge in covert hospitalizations in a single day reaching the highest figure since early june the increase comes as the u.k. government's contradictory antivirus measures its own confusion. russia slams the report the global chemical weapons watchdog russian opposition figure election the valley was poisoned with a nerve agent moscow says it's all about bringing in a new round of sanctions and. its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country. and the us 2028 vice presidential candidates coming to harrison my parents

will go head to head to the bait on wednesday the race for president has been characterized by name calling and a blame game so far has done little to educate voters about the candidate's policies. good morning for russia the 7th of october i'm kevin owen here and artie's world news center with the latest for you i'm going to start with the latest news from britain about coronavirus english hospitals are under pressure again the now saying the highest daily tally of covert admissions there since early june is what on the heels of the revelation to that the u.k.'s contact tracing up and left off thousands of cases this new spike comes as covert confusion in the british government seems to be continuing as well. as the latest. and considering the u.k. government's response to cave at 19 pretty and probably wouldn't be the word on the

tips of most people's tongues over the course of the year the u.k. has seen thousands of people dying in care homes tests and tracing deadlines set and missed the u.k. topping the death toll across europe plus of course britain being on the verge of a round 2 and while most people think the government's response needs to be completely written off it seems as though not everyone agrees it's been. i think it will be like the lympics that's when it's all over and we look back and reflect we will actually be extremely proud of ourselves some people might think a wooden spoon is more appropriate than a shiny metal especially considering the latest news that 16000 positive tests for private 19 have been lost meaning that super spreaders a blindly unaware they're still spreading thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to covert potentially spreading this deadly virus time and hospital admissions are increasing in the 2nd wave blunder after blunder critics say the government's not learning from its mistakes but as the country hurtles

towards a 2nd wave of the virus confusion is still lingering in the guess with mixed messages coming from power. but as i understand it. apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socializing with other households outside go to work but stay at home eat out to help out but don't socialize kick start the economy but stay in your it's no wonder the country is confused especially considering the man telling the u.k. what to do is accused of being a tad confused one of the major problems is widespread confusion about the local restrictions people feel very let down a very frustrated very forgotten can we pin all the blame of boris johnson after all these all around president to times far to go back to all that no prime

minister has ever fought before and after months of economic paralysis boris johnson began to i'm not the lockdown even though parts of the u.k. was still plagued with the virus and so the north south divide found its latest partition the timing of the lifting of national lockdown was london centric please remember this the next time you see politicians pointing fingers at our people on the eve of a 2nd wave many might think the government would know what it was doing by now especially considering it's had around 6 months to prepare the when carrot has been replaced with confusion can the government really expect people to for the rules when it doesn't seem to know them itself should you ever stuff the artsy learn. what us britain meantime in paris and its suburbs the right to cope with 19 positives in migrant shelters is extremely hard got report on that coming up with their winter coming aid groups are urging the government to provide the most vulnerable with more help but later in the program.

developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure election of next the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. says that traces of a nerve agent from an overcharge family have been found in the biological samples taken from the politician the russia's representative to the organization islam the claim. until you're given documents materials samples material evidence we will consider all that surrounds this incident an unbridled propaganda campaign of lies or simply put a low grade provocation its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country moscow sent several requests to germany asking for cooperation in the case but so far has not been forthcoming election of only fell ill on what commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in the russian city of skimmers then taken to germany for further care since then claimed that traces of

a chemical nerve agent a found in his test results next in the smaller of his paper all of a break more of the story for you. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has published its findings from samples they tested from alexei navalny the results won't come as too much of a surprise to many the o.p.c. w. found novacek was present those results in a detailed analysis were sent here to germany where berlin has been demanding answers from moscow but using o.p.c. w. findings as the foundation for allegations is unlikely to sit well in the russian capital it is in fact even tacit ghost story initiated at the behest of berlin by its your atlantic allies to gather with the leadership of the technical secretary and of d o p c w it has continued in accordance with to preplan conspiracist scenario memories are

fresh of the investigation by the hague based weapons watchdog into allegations of chemical weapons being used against civilians in syria the validity of the investigation of the duma chemical attack the response from western nations was to condemn the syrian government and to unleash cruise missiles. while toxicologists still question the findings of the o.p.c. w. with respect to the consistency of the observed and reported symptoms of the alleged victims with possible exposure to chlorine gas or similar the experts were conclusive in their statements that there was no correlation between symptoms and

chlorine exposure. even a former head of the weapons watchdog has raised problems with the handling of that investigation a request to. be heard at the u.n. security council was blocked by the united states and france the u.k. of though instead he chose to read out his statement online this concerns him immunity from the very heart of the organization from the very scientists and engineers involved in the dumas to give us a call for great disparity from your p c w intensified in november last year almost one year later. to not respond to these requests nor to the ever growing controversy surrounding the doom investigation. it has hidden behind an impenetrable wall of silence and opacity. any meaningful dialogue impossible with the e.u. council set to meet next week to decide what their reaction to the europol will be

the german government demanding serious consequences for the use of a chemical weapon this o.p.c. w. reports could have far reaching ramifications peter all over r.t. early. more than half the people living in extreme poverty in the paris region in particular migrants have been infected with covert 90 according to new research from the french a group doctors without borders. this shut does have come down all bars across paris and it's in the suburbs all in a bid to fight rising infection rates have closed it 19 it's an epidemic this being described as moving to throw last and while the overall positivity rate for qubit in paris is around 12 percent if you look more closely at those who live in but carry a situation such as migrants it's said to be much higher doctors without borders that m.s.f. is now sounding the alarm in what it describes as being the 1st. study of its kind

in europe it found the positives the rate of covert 19 in emergency shelters and in food distribution centers was more than 50 percent the results show an extremely high prevalence the main reason is the conditions of shelters and been packed together which leads to klosters of infection in europe and france no other study shows this type of prevalence these types of figures on this scale can only be found in india or in the slums of brazil but that figure showing a positivity rate of more than 50 percent is an average m.s.f. says that in some sentence causing my co-worker's the rate hit 89 percent a worrying number in places where social distancing can be difficult in president might cause addressed to the nation in march he promised help for the most vulnerable with him on the 2nd if. he didn't i want to ask for sacrifices to slow

down the epidemic the aid to the most fragile should not be jeopardized for the most vulnerable the most destitute for the isolated who will make sure they can be fat and protected. so have they being forgotten all those people are usually. are forgotten that they were for get. or paris special especially in the north. of spontaneous immigrant camps and officially didn't exist it's true that. there were no special policy for them during do continue nation during dependency to arrive to arrive to arrive and we don't know exactly what we can do. she was and other temporary shelters have long been used as

a base when makeshift my. camps have been cleared when the lockdown began in march here in france hundreds were moved into accommodation like that and now while the idea may have been to offer a shelter and to get people off the streets it may have also offered the virus the perfect grounds to spread the results confirm that the circulation of the virus was more particularly effective in the situations where the proximity was the highest that is to say when the person has to share a room shell was a kitchen with several other people in places where migrant workers are housed together around a 3rd of resident share a room with between 2 and 5 people a 5th share a room with more than 5 people in situations like this it's impossible to socially distance m.s.f. once a change of strategy we knew that this reception conditions would not work that it wasn't possible to respect very measures we have to change the hosting strategy

m.s.f. is submitted it supports the ministry of health it's helping by highlighting these desperate situations that they can be a changing gear for those whose lives are currently being held in the balance so it ought to see paris. there's no escape review around the world the specter of kobe draws here again here in moscow with growing numbers of infections we're going to tell you what restrictions might be coming back to the russian capital. women back after this break. when else seems wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out just in the attic. and in detroit because betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by fun person if there is. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

why good morning as a center for the brightening coronaviruses once again tightening its grip in the russian capital to the last 24 hours to see more than 4000 new infections for coated in moscow leading city authorities to bring in new restrictions as nikita 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 less a case of beer and 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 is no official talk of that as of yet however things are tight and 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 that have been reopened to cope with the rising number of covert cases those are the so-called nicky exhibition and convention center and the credit score a ice palace now these were built especially to cope with the pandemic surrogates to be and then they must go in there was that and highlighted what a critical role these 2 facilities will play in the fight against the virus

certainly a good bit of 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 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 mosques keeping our distance and washing our hands because nobody wants to return to another lockdown. sort of break away from code from an issue with a 2020 u.s. election around the corner a debate season's in full swing wednesday is going to see the only voice a presidential scuffle with the 1st presidential debate already history over of course the 2nd one remains in question after democratic hopeful joe biden said

choose day he wouldn't face off with president trump if he still has covert parties during the quarter gives us a closer look at all the contenders. name calling personal attacks emotional accusations american society is now so deeply polarized between these 2 figures donald trump and joe biden the 20 twentieth's election campaign is looking more like a political circus than anything i'm not here to call those lies everybody knows he's a liar they'll never use the word smart with me though never use that word give me that because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe what do you she was an excuse or you were number 2 he's putin's puppy you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. to get any word do with this clown it's as if many people see this upcoming election as a showdown between good and evil if you like biden he's the country's only salvation for his racist fascist opponent but if you like trump only he can protect

america's new greatness from his senile rival it's like a reality t.v. show where actual policy is absent from the conversation the thing is though if you can get past the rhetoric and the emotion is there really any difference between them from present but all that different from the obama administration in which biden was the v.p. remember that wall trump wanted to build in 2016 as part of his popular promise for a new stance on immigration. the penetrable physical tall powerful beautiful southern border wall was democrats quickly attacked it as racist and along came the sad pictures of caged immigrant kids with trying to blame for their misery except some of those pictures were from 2014 under the obama administration that's right trump actually continued many of the same immigration policies from before in fact ice arrests and deportations are still lower than they were under much of

obama's watch let's not forget about those peace promises trump made on his way to the white house. to have the support of the. more fighting generals active duty military and top experts who know both how to win and how to avoid the endless wars and echoed obama's 2008 election promises and also like obama trump has so far failed to deliver the difference here though is that the former president got a nobel peace prize in 2009 even though many of america's foreign entanglements worsened under his administration in 2016 trump even campaigned against the interventionist posturing of both parties but we will no longer use american military might to construct democracies in faraway lands would try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over it was also obama's bloated budget deficit which continues to grow under trub the current president made tax

cuts for the rich sure but the economy more or less continued business as usual until the pandemic when the debates come around again though one has to wonder if biden will be as frank about these parallels as he's been in the past. the truth of the matter is you wall you all know you all know when you all got what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it's all within our wheel house and nobody has to be punished no one standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change when your only 2 options in an election are so similar in terms of policy perhaps shouting racist or senile is the only way to keep things interesting. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan over nagorno-karabakh song going with reports of continuous shelling of the young but all that said there could be a glimmer of hope for peace just maybe armenia's leader has stated he's ready to make concessions in the dispute as long as the other side is willing to give some

to he goes down off reports. the city of to panic at the capital of the nagorno-karabakh region has been awoken by the sounds of bombs this morning just once again in fact some people on the ground have told me that they've been kept away by the sounds of shelling all the way throughout the night but well the wrist some very very dim hold that the peace negotiations are not around the corner but at least somewhere in the near future the prime minister of armenian it on has said that if i say or by john is ready to make concessions then well meaning is to be rid of conflicts should be resolved by mutual consent sions. is ready for it and will make concessions if as a version is also ready for them this is particularly important after the russian foreign intelligence service have said that they have information that hundreds if not thousands of syrian mercenaries are taking part in this conflict members of one of the groups that they have mentioned in their report the members of the notorious

front and if this is indeed true then this is some very bad news for the region because i'm not sure front they are as radical and as extremist as it gets they were full. really known as the al qaeda in syria so there's that and also they're known to have tortured people to have eggs mass execute their hostages bomb civilian neighborhoods and some even allege they used chemical weapons against civilian population and syria so they really dogs of war at the same time turkey a country that's seen as by many as a main power that has a say as to which way this conflict in the go in a cab back fares turkey is sending mixed signals here at for instance the foreign minister of turkey has said that world ankara is ready to work with moscow on resolving this crisis but at the same time he refused to acknowledge the equality of the warring sides when it's done to put all menier and azerbaijan on equal

footing means rewarding new york you boy the world must be on the side of those who are right namely on the side of azerbaijan and the longer this conflict goes on the most civilians suffer just to give you some perspective here is an eyewitness account from the by johnny side of the conflict. by john is fighting on its own land armenia has occupied as a rage on the land of my ancestors died for this cause as you can see the armenians destroyed my house but i am not afraid of them i am not afraid of them i can see the war we are not afraid on friday already the russian prime minister mikhail machinist and is expected to visit i mean is capital here of on and here on the ground a lot of people are telling me that they have a lot of hope that this visit will pull the negotiating process out of the bog. there on that story where one of the number one channels to keep you posted on it

follow or developments on a social media not. as well flooded as the way things are looking so far from the newsroom from a kevin 0 in the rest of the tape whatever you're doing this wednesday have a great day. become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limit 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 as are powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways a struggle. greetings and sell you to. all right the great leader yes u.s. president donald trump is finally back in the confines of his plush white house bunker to wait out his bout with cold and night to you know after leaving walter reed hospital on monday thankfully is brand of performance art was on full display these last 2 days especially on monday night with not only the president claiming but maybe he's he's you know maybe actually. took over 19 in that we shouldn't

be a frame. but i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago it felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives yes. team. take over our lives well you know what i'm sorry mr president but i'm pretty sure the families of the over 200000 u.s. citizens who have died from this pandemic kept a pretty good reason to disagree with you but you see it wasn't just himself the dominated the president trumps thoughts this week as he also pointed out on twitter that quote the fake news media refuses to discuss how good the economy and stock market including jobs of the trumpet administration are doing we will soon be in record territory all they want to discuss is covidien i

t you know for one side agree mr president let's discuss the u.s. economy and our friends on wall street in fact just last week the federal reserve released its label latest triennial study into consumer and household by nance's and according to press news the report found that quote millionaires and billionaires hold a remarkable 79.2 percent of the united states household wealth and then only 11.9 percent of american households have at least $1000000.00 in wealth to their name only 11 only 12 percent roughly but but what about wall street us that that magical mystical place that realm of power here in the united states well truth is wall street means very little to most americans as political political reports that the reality is that the wealthiest one percent of americans own 50 percent of the value of stocks held by individual households and the top 10 percent control 88

percent. as the late great george carlin famously said it's a big club and you ain't in it remember that the next time one of these professional liars politicians like us president donald trump starts tweeting madly about how great the stock market is doing you see that's actually him paying fealty to his owners and let's start watching the hawks. was on a cd. player so let's see this is joyce state . great city this leaves systemic dissent says so which. brings up joe. welcome everyone to watching the. i robot and i'm. so major wall street hey you know fresh out of the

hospital what's tweets about wall street talk about our great wall street and how great is wall street to our great of the american people just love wall street and i think that your intro was right on point because we know what matters and it is wall street we know the people who invest in wall street aren't the people who are crying out for help on main street every day right now we also noticed that today the president has argued that he is not going to push for a co-pay 1000 really bill that package of money that americans were hoping to get so that they could pay their rent make sure that they could make their electric bills and all these other things it's just not coming so i think that you know we have a stronger recognition for those who already who cares about the most and it's not the everyday citizens it is those one percenters who actually are watching the stock the every day and you know they make their money off of yeah i mean look at a survey by the federal reserve this new survey showed that more than half.
