yes that requires. you abandoned on the streets to become invisible. in the headlines this wednesday morning with pride like the olympics that so the u.k. government is saying it will look back on its coronavirus response despite britain having the highest death toll across europe and seeing a new surge in hospital admissions. elsewhere russia slams the report from the global chemical weapons watchdog the russian opposition figure elects in the valley was poisoned with a nerve agent moscow says it's all about bringing in a new round of sanctions. 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 2020 vice presidential candidates come to harrison mike

pence will go head to head in a debate wednesday the race for president spin courage choice though by name calling and the blame game so far at least a little to educate voters about the candidates policy. and i want to hear now good morning from russia this 7th of october my name is kevin o. and world news center with the latest for you thanks for joining in by the way so 1st we start with the latest coronavirus news from britain the english hospitals are under pressure again they're now saying the highest daily tally of covert admissions there since june is right on the heels of the revelation that the u.k.'s contact tracing left off thousands of cases this new spike comes as covert confusion in the british government seems to be continuing to be edwidge daschle reports. and considering the u.k.

government's response to cave at 19 pretty and probably wouldn't be the words 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 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 a failure 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 the super spreaders a blindly unaware this still spreading thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to covert potentially spreading this deadly virus a time when 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 hurdles towards a 2nd wave of the virus private confusion is still lingering in the again 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 popple 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 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 to address the artsy learn. well that's the picture there meantime in paris and its suburbs the rate of covert 19 positives in migrant shelters is extremely high and cause for winter just around the corner on its way a groups of words from the government to provide the most vulnerable with more help

we've got a report on it coming up little bit later in the stories this morning. next developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure election of ali the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w says that traces of a nerve agent from the family have been found in a volleys biological samples that russia's representative to the organization has slammed that 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. several requests to germany asking for cooperation in the case but so far that's not been forthcoming election of on a fairly large commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in

the russian city of skin was then taken to germany for further care since then berlin has claimed that traces of a chemical nerve agent were found in his test results next to the smalling artie's peter all of a break more of the latest in 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 come as too much of a surprise to many the o.p.c. w. found novacek was present in those results in a detailed analysis was 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 counter so 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 dio p c

w it has continued in accordance we did preplan conspiracist scenario memories are fresh of the investigation by the hague based weapons watchdog to allegations of chemical weapons being used against civilians in syria the validity of the investigation and to do that chemical attack the response from western nations was to condemn the syrian government and to unleash cruise missiles. while toxicology. 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 that jose persistently be heard at the u.n. security council was blocked by the united states france the u.k. of though instead he chose to read out his statement on line this concerns 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 for the intensified in november last year almost one year later you pursued our goal has 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 making any meaningful dialogue impossible with the e.u. council set to meet next week to decide what their reaction to the novell meeropol 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. brian even though this morning scuffles breaking out between anti government demonstrators and israeli security forces in tel aviv tuesday. hundreds gathered to denounce the government's anti coronavirus restrictions protesters have also demanded the resignation of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu they have dismissed the government's pandemic measures as a distraction they say from the corruption scandal while the prime minister himself has denied any wrongdoing is what some of the protesters have to say. of course

that is using this crisis in order to remain in the sea to avoid the to avoid this try and we are afraid it is trying to. create. a civil war between us 1st we need like we did it in the hour that he signaled it is because the thing stealing our democracy easing. any he's a king. is very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or moved away. and we get rid of him for ever while next the state of the pandemic in france more than half of people living in extreme poverty in the paris region in particular migrants have been infected with covert 19 according to new research out from the french a group doctors without borders. the shutters have come down the halls across paris

and it's in the suburbs all in a bid to fight rising infection rates of close it 19 it's an epidemic that's been described as moving too fast and while the overall positivity rate for qubit in paris is around 12 percent if you look more closely at those who live in precarious situations 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 positivity 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 clusters 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 centers housing migrant workers 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. 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 been forgotten all those people are usually. are forgotten. spontaneous camps. officially didn't exist there were no special police you. during the continuation during dependency to arrive to right or

to arrive and we don't know exactly what we can do with. humans and other temporary shelters have long been used as a base when makeshift camps have been cleared when the lockdown began in march here in france hundreds were moved into accommodation like that and now one the idea may have been to offer 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 kitchen with several other people in places where migrant workers are housed together around a 3rd of residents share a room with between $2.00 and $5.00 people a 5th share a room with more than 5 people in situations like this it's impossible to 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 any surface submitted its report to the ministry of health it's hoping by highlighting these desperate situations that there can be a changing here for those whose lives are currently being held in the balance so it r.t. paris. and it will mean time coronaviruses tightening its grip once again here in the russian capital for the past 20 days infections have been steadily growing just yesterday moscow recorded more than 4000 new cases russian authorities are expressing concern over the growing numbers even though no new measures have been introduced yet wearing masks transported in public places continues to be mandatory and everybody older than 65 is being advised to stay at home. ok we

got this morning coming up then this says the 2020 u.s. election counts. the vice presidential candidates are getting ready to face off next but why days the gulf between their positions but we'll find out after the break i'm kept it all in this is our t.v. stay with me if you can work across it since we're back.

seemed wrong all along just don't call. me if you get to shape out disdaining educate and gain training equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. good morning fighting between armenia and azerbaijan over going to cairo by it's ongoing with reports of continuous shelling of the enclave but there could be a glimmer of pace of her all this time armenia's leader now is stated he's ready to

make concessions in the dispute as long as other sides the other side is willing to give some to r.t.c. 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 hope 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 2. conflicts should be resolved by mutual consent. is ready for it and we'll make concessions if there's a bush john 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 taking part in this conflict members of one of the groups that they have mentioned in their report are 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 formerly 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 in 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 for instance the foreign minister of turkey has said that well 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. john on equal. footing means reboarding new york you point 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 azerbaijani side of the conflict. by john is fighting on its own land in armenia has occupied as a ridge on the land my ancestors died for this cause as you can see the armenians destroyed my house but i am not afraid of them see 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 armenia is capital year of un 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. we'll keep you posted now with a 2020 us election round the corner debate seasons in full swing wednesday is good to see the only vice presidential scuffle with the 1st presidential debate already history however of course the 2nd one regarding that remains in question after a democratic hopeful joe biden said tuesday that he wouldn't face off with president trump if he still has covert parties dollars 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 ever use that word because you know what there's nothing smart about you would you. know you are number 2 he's putin's

puppy you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. to get any word 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 from 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 differed 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 as racist and along came the sad pictures of caged immigrant kids with trump 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 i'm proud to have the support of. 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 or try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over there's 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 all know you will know when you got to what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it's all within the 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. and you media reporter spotted the footprint of u.s. intelligence in spying on julie this year an ongoing probe into alleged espionage against we can exist so it could tell a piece of the story. kidnappings poisonings fingerprints on glasses and bugged bathrooms for most of us it's a whole other world unless of course you were to get a songe or use the nearby socket to conceal the microphone in a cable in the toilet in the back of the embassy this was never removed it may still be there there was a suggestion that the door of the embassy would be left open and i want people to enter from the outside and kidnap or poisonous the whistleblowers of recent extradition hearing revealed how the place isn't considered a refuge for 7 years the ecuadorian embassy in london was actually nothing of the sort microphones everywhere recordings of meetings with noirs doctors fellow journalists round the clock eavesdropping and live streaming of his every move

what's even more thought it is that this illegal spying campaign was led by the spanish security firm hired to protect the embassy the source 2 former employees of that very security company global run by c.e.o. david marla's after returning from one of his trips to the united states stated morale is gathered all the work is in the office and told us that we have moved up and from now on we will be playing in the big league but playing in the big meat meant according to murat as turning to the dark side and you can never guess who was already that ready to welcome us cloak all into the dark our american friends almost specifically the agency of stars and stripes those are quotes the 2 witnesses sensationally claim that morale is in the cia were in cahoots the person allegedly acting as a go between so halachah have security officer at las vegas sands the huge casino

and resort company but why would he be interested in julian the son well maybe he wasn't by his boss chief of security brian nagel might have been bryant being no stranger to surveillance having been top dog at the u.s. secret service and even been given. a metal of commendation and so our complex web of connections running between at quintal spain england in the us comes knocking at the cia's door the gray zone projects my explain without he's been watching on the story for over a year talks me through its key moments including how this is not unprecedented i have tainted e-mail in which morales who does not speak english very well is giving instructions to his employees at the ecuadorian embassy in perfect english on how to set up a separate a secret separate video server to circumvent the ecuadorian security services and feed video back to the united states to the american client this

e-mail was sent from an ip address traced directly to the venetian hotel of donald trump's top donor sheldon adelson and brian nagel who is adelson global director of global security and this is significant because brian nagel has a decades long career at the u.s. secret service morales's employees who were involved in the operation to not just spy on julian assange but to target and stalk his associates including the mother of his children stella morris came forward went to spanish police complained that they were participating in an illegal operation revealed that they had even been told to consider an operation to assassinate julian a songe the top dissident in the west with poison a spanish court investigating whether you see klippel breached any rules and invaded songes privacy now wants to interview the hov but washington's not making

it easy or in the wilds of much split with all its stonewalling the u.s. department of justice has been stonewalling not just in the case of zoe adelson security. chief but with all witnesses and has even demanded that the spanish judge unmask the protected witnesses from u.c. global which is absolutely unprecedented in any democratic criminal justice system in order for them to cooperate so there's a pattern of stonewalling here and this is not the 1st time they're doing it in this extremely revealing case in the dreaded when he opened a box in the u.s. army's dusty secrets came spilling out songe knew he was putting a target on his back but it turns out that even when he thought he had finally found safety he hadn't betrayed by the people who was supposed to protect him these latest revelations reveal just how wanted a man he is and how in

a bid to knock that box back up some does no such thing as going too far. so ask a teller on the case they know if you want to discover more of the bigger a stories we're talking about of the features of all the pictures check out. any of us social media for now though that's the way things are looking for a news room here as we stand so far this reporting from moscow kevin our in the signing off for now and have a great day. it remains unclear who will be the occupant in the white house this january what can be predicted is the state of the economy for tens of millions of citizens at a furious what is called the case shaped recovery is permanently dividing the country into how. this seems to be acceptable for those who are.

just. as. i want to look at i wonder why you. keep. moving but there are also friends of the us our skills up at the so you're hoping to do something this year. which will. be about 1000 with a simple alan russell going and i was with him one of that you know we'll look at that.
