they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight. in the headlines this wednesday russia slams the reporter the global chemical weapons watchdog the russian opposition figure election there was poisoned with a novel nerve agent says it's more 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. as a former chief of the old p.c. . and he's been barred from speaking at the un security council about a controversial probe into alleged 28 chemical attack in syria it's led to outrage from the russian side. with pride like that is how 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. and the us 2020 vice presidential candidate. mike pence will go head to head in a debate on wednesday the race for president spin characterized by name calling and a blame game so far and they start little to educate voters about the candidate's policies. or the 7th of october my name's kevin owen here dirties world news center with the latest and 1st developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure alexina valley the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w says that traces of nerve agent from the family have been found in a van these biological samples but russia's representative to the organization has

slammed 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 that's not been forthcoming election of ali fell a commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in the russian city of arms and was then taken to germany for further care since then berlin's claimed that traces of a chemical nerve agent were found in his test results next than today artie's paper all over breakstone more of a story for you. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has published its findings from samples tested from alexei navalny the results 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 the o.p.c. w. finding this as the foundation for allegations is unlikely to sit well in the russian counter so it is in fact even tacit cool story initiated at the behest of berlin by its your atlantic allies together with the leadership of detachment goes to good syria of dio p c w it has continued in accordance we did preplan conspiracy scenario with the e.u. council set to meet next week to decide what their reaction to the novell new report 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.

. here but the o.p.c. devil is in the news for the reason to tailor a correspondence in the city to tell us why that is. well it what seems an irony for the u.n. which is of course an organization it's all about bringing together international voices about discussing difficult topics it has barred a former chief of the you from speaking to the security council now we're talking about joe's able starting he's a brazilian diplomat he was in fact the fast director general of the chemical weapons what stopped between 10072002 he's really a figure of a great deal for a t. he was invited by moscow to speak on the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of the duma back in 2018 but at the last minute he was essentially disinvited by among others the u.s. u.k. and france russia called this a shame they decided to postpone. reading the speech he was scheduled to say and

they said the following. what happened today unfortunately is yet another sign that western delegations are afraid of hearing the uncomfortable truth you want to silence objective facts that could destroy the picture you have painted of the atrocities of the syrian regime and the infidel ability of the o.p.c. w. but it is already clear to everyone that it has little to do with reality i am wondering if you understand in what an unattractive light you know appear in the eyes of the international community in general what happened today is a shame and a disgrace so. for sort of this is what he said but what specifically is it that he said this ruffle these further she thinks so what she was going to speak about was how the numerous whistleblowers have called to cover up the incidents in duma quick recap of the images of civilians 30 at the mouth washing out that i so much

investigated and they officially blamed assad's government this of course that is the basis on which the u.s. u.k. and france conducted strikes but in the following months and indeed years after this a number of former employees came forward and they said we were part of these investigations we were on the ground and what we saw doesn't support this official narrative what's even more sensational claimed that in fact any dissenting opinions or evidence was removed from the final report under pressure from the top this is a small snippet of what they said. most of the do see reports in the instant the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent so so obviously the silencing of voices came up in the speech that the study was scheduled to give. serious questions are now being raised of whether the independent impartiality and

professionalism of some of the organizations work is being severely compromised possibly under pressure from some member states we've got lots of whether or not this is substance to the concerns raised above to pursue the obvious behavior in to do more investigation hearing what you all knew specter's have to say would be an important 1st step in mending you're going to see this is the image of reputation so starting clearly saying that all he wants is for the have to be a forum for all voices to be able to contribute but that's clearly that's something that starts members of the un disagree with you know the score a while ago when he was chief stopped being chief in 2002 supported him since. well persone is no. priest on has previously paid the price for challenging official narratives in what was described as an offensive by washington back in 2002 he was dogged by allegations of mishandling. and mismanaging at and it was actually quite

dramatic the u.s. representative who made those claims was actually booed and one of the sessions when he failed to provide documentary evidence of those claims eventually though the u.s. prevailed as is often the case and he was removed and saying that his independent thought had angered a lot of people in washington that they wanted someone more. specifically rumors swirled that he had in fact tried to block the u.s. is tough stance on iraq so boring distante from speaking now almost 2 decades armies been fired comes of course as back in the spotlight with this untangled political saga with alex involving and now with allegations that the holder of the information on his case cynics would say that it would not have been the best time for an insider like the stanny to say that in his and others experience sometimes evidence is not treated sacredly within the organization and that in fact sometimes

it doesn't even correlate with reality so. i. focus on some coronavirus news going to britain for those who under pressure again . daily turly of code admissions those since early june it's right on the heels of the revelation too that the u.k. is contact tracing up left off cases this new spy covert confusion of the british government seems to be continuing to. report. 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 would 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. potentially spreading this deadly virus time missions 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 over 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 bubble it's no wonder the country is continues especially considering the man telling the u.k. what to do is accused of being a tad confused to 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 promo boris johnson off to roll these all around president at times far to go back to all that no prime minister has ever fought before a lot of 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 how to round 6 months to prepare but 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 to. cross is confusing is that ok that's the picture of the main time in paris and its suburbs the rates of covert 19 positives in migrant shelters is maybe not surprising extremely high with winter coming aid groups now urging the government to provide the most vulnerable with more help we talk about it after the break. join me every. time i'm sure i'll be speaking to us from the world of sports

i'm sure i'll see you then. please.

again exactly 14 minutes past the hour if watching the clock my next scuffles broke out between anti-government demonstrators and israeli security forces in tel aviv on cheese day. hundreds gathered to denounce the government's anti coronavirus restrictions pesters have also demanded the resignation of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu they have dismissed the government's pandemic measures as a destruction they say from corruption scandal while the prime minister himself has denied any wrongdoing is what some of the protesters have had to say that. of course that is using this crisis in order to remain in the sea to avoid the 2 voyages try and we are afraid. to. create.

a civil war between us 1st. like we did it that we are all. these because these. stealing our democracy he's the king. and he's a genius. it's very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or moved away. we get rid of him for ever. and next to the state 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 from the french a group doctors without borders. this shop does 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 at nations such as migrants it's said to be much higher doctors without borders that m.s.f. is now sounding in what it describes as being the 1st study of its kind in europe it found the positivity rate of coke at 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 classes 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

michael's address to the nation in march he promised help for the most vulnerable with them on this i. 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 been forgotten all those people are usually. are forgotten. spontaneous camps. officially didn't exist there was no special policy for them during do a continuation during the. 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 that one of 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 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 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. arty paris. you know very little escape from anywhere around the world coronaviruses toting a script once again here in the russian capital to although today's approaching numbers are slightly down the past 20 days figures have been steadily growing just yesterday moscow recorded more than 4000 new cases russian authorities are expressing big concern over the growing numbers even though no new measures have been introduced year wearing masks on transport in public places continues to be mandatory and everybody older than 65 is being advised to stay home. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan of a going to come about still ongoing but they could be a glimmer of hope for peace armenia's leader has stated he's ready to make

concessions in the dispute just so long as the other side is willing to do so too is out he goes down off reporting. 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 to. conflicts should be resolved by mutual consent no go to look at is ready for it and will make concessions if as a buffer zone 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. to put all meaning john 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 more 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 armenia has occupied as a red johnny lands 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. with attorney turn to u.s. election around the corner a debate seasons in full swing wednesday is going to see the only vice presidential scuffle with the 1st presidential debate of course already history although the 2nd one remains in question after democratic hopeful joe biden said choose de wouldn't face off with president trump if he still has cove it will quarter give us a closer look at 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 joe what do you she was an excuse well who so you are number 2 he's putin's puppy you are a senator and the words 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. law in 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 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 the peace promise made on his way to the white house i'm proud to have the support of orphan. 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 war you will know you will know when you'll got to what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it's all with a no 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 when will fun of the results in a foot way nephew and discover more the bigger stories of features we're talking
