clark's. top stories in r.t. russia report the global chemical weapons watchdog that russian opposition figure alexina valmy was poisoned with nerve agent moscow says it's all about bringing in a new round of sanctions. its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations by creating far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country our former chief. has been barred from speaking at the un security council about a controversial probe into an alleged 2018 chemical attack in syria. from the russian side also to come with pride like the lympics the u.k.

government is saying it will look back on its response us despite though britain having the highest death toll across europe and seeing a new surge in hospital admissions and the number 2 u.s. 2020 vice presidential candidate. mike pence go head to head a day after the 1st debate between donald trump and joe biden was dominated by a blame game and insults. just gone 3 pm here in moscow you with r.t. international now we'll start with those developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure alexina valmy because the global chemical weapons watchdog does say that traces of a nerve agent from the north family have been found in these biological samples but russia's representative to the organization has slammed. 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 almost had sent several requests to germany asking for cooperation in the case but so far that hasn't been forthcoming in the valley fell ill on a commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in the russian city of alms and was then taken to germany for further care since then the plane has claimed that traces of a chemical nerve agent were found in his test results peter all of has more in the story. 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 call story initiated at the behest of berlin by its your atlantic allies together with the leadership of the technical secretary and of dio p c w it has continued in accordance with to preplan conspiracist 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.

earlier well the a.b.c. w is in the spotlight too for another reason the former chief of the. stand he has been blocked from speaking at a un security council meeting my colleague kevin owen discussed it with our correspondent sask. what seems an irony for the u.n. which is of course an organization it's all about putting together international voices about discussing difficult topics it has barred a former chief. of you from speaking to the security council now we're talking about the star and he's a brazilian to promote he was in fact the foster back to general of the chemical weapons what between 10072002 he's really a figure of a great authority 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 post this johnny 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 infield ability of the o.p.c. w. but it is already clear to everyone that it has little to do with reality i'm wondering if you understand 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. this is what he said but what specifically is it that he said this ruffle these for the shoe thing when he was planning on discuss what numerous whistleblowers cool and cover up all of those events in duma now just a quick recap of the images of civilians at the mouth washing out their eyes and 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 this and. stations we were on the ground and what we saw doesn't support this official narrative what's even more sensational claim to start 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 duty to see reports on the incident the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent well let's hear exactly what was stanley said on all of that the serious questions are now being raised whether the independent impartiality and professionalism of some of the organisations 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 about the perceived obvious behavior in the do more investigation hearing what your own inspectors have to say would be an important 1st step in mending you're going to say this is the magic reputation mobile story has previously paid the price for challenging official narratives and what was described by many as an offensive led by washington back in 2002 percent on it was dogged by allegations of mismanaging the w. it was already quite dramatic the u.s. representative in fact was booed and one of the sessions when he failed to provide documentary evidence to support that claim eventually though the u.s. prevailed he was removed from the post saying that he with his independent thought had angered a lot of people in washington that they wanted someone more specifically rumors swirled that his that he had somehow blocks the u.s.

is tough stance on iraq while barring the story from speaking almost 2 decades after foreign him comes of course as the a.p.c. is back in the spotlight is involved in this entire political saga regarding alexina volley with allegations now that the o.p.c. w. as well. holding key information on his taste many cynics would point out that now of course would not have been a good time for an insider like the star me to reveal that inheres and others experience evidence is not treated secretly within the o.p.c. of w. and in fact sometimes it doesn't correlate even with reality. ok let's turn to the coronavirus pandemic now and in particular the situation in britain because english hospitals are under pressure again and they're seeing the highest daily tally of coded missions since early june it is right on the heels to the revelation the u.k.'s contact tracing app left off of cases this new spike comes as coby

confusion in the british government seems to be continuing as well. as more. 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 the super spreaders a blindly unaware the 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 hurdles towards a 2nd wave of the virus confusion is still lingering in the with mixed messages coming from. 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 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 primal boris johnson author 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 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 should you ever searched the artsy london. meanwhile coronavirus demonstrations in israel have seen scuffles break

out between anti-government protesters and security forces in tel aviv. on tuesday hundreds gathered to denounce the government's anti coronavirus restrictionist protests as the 1st demanded the resignation of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu they have dismissed the government's pandemic measures as a distraction from his corruption scandal where the prime minister himself denies any wrongdoing is what some of the protesters have to say. of course that is the crisis in order to remain is to avoid the to avoid it. we are afraid. to. create. a civil war between us 1st. like we did it then we are all. because the. feeling that our democracy is the. thing any he's

a genius. is very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or moved away. we get rid of them forever now in paris and the rate of pay with $19.00 positives in migrant shelters is extremely high and with winter coming aid groups are urging the government to provide the most vulnerable with more help we'll have a look at the details just after.

it seems wrong. to shape out. and engage. a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

welcome back than france more than half the people living in extreme poverty in the parish region have been infected with hiv 19 that is according to new research from the french aid group doctors without borders. this shot does have come down 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 this being 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 but carry a situation 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 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 in present my calls 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 being forgotten all those people are usually. are forgotten. spontaneous camps. officially didn't exist there was no

special policy for them during to continue nation during the pandemic to arrive to arrive to arrive and we don't know exactly what we can do wisdom. 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 while 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 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. wants 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. well the coronavirus is tightening its grip to once again here in the russian capital and although today's infection numbers are in fact slightly down over the past 20 days the figures have been steadily growing just yesterday moscow recorded more than 4000 new cases russian authorities are expressing concern over those growing numbers and even though no lockdown measures have been reintroduced yet wearing masks in transport and in public places continues to be mandatory and

everybody older than 65 is being advised to stay at home. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. when you go and i cut it back it's still ongoing but there could be a glimmer of hope for peace because our meanies leader has stated he is ready to make concessions in the dispute as long as the other side is willing to do the saying because down of his more details. 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 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. is ready for it and we'll 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 when it's done to put all meaning john on equal. footing means reboarding new york you boy the world must be on the side of those who are right mainly on the side of us 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 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 me is capital year 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. the 2020 us election around the corner debate season is in full swing and wednesday is going to see the only vice presidential scuffle with the 1st presidential debate already history however of course the 2nd one does remain in question because that's after democrat hopeful joe biden said on tuesday that he wouldn't face off with president trump if he still has 19 parties on course it takes a close look now at the contenders and their apparent similarities. 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 out as lies everybody knows he's a liar never use the word smart with me ever use that word because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i don't. know your number 2 he's putin's puppy you are a senator and the worst were as always america has ever. hard to get any word it 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 different from the obama administration in which biden was the v.p.

remember the 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. isn't a morality it's not who we are is a nation racist sinful 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 the war 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 will begin to responsibly we broke to its people and forge a herder in peace in afghanistan. 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 all 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 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. don't cause reporting that just going up to half past 3 here in the russian capital back to get the headlines and more stories about how often.

it remains unclear who'll be the occupant in the white house this january what can be easily predicted is the state of the economy or tens of millions of citizens at a furious what is called the recovery is permanently dividing the country into house and have nots and this seems to be acceptable for those who are after. dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come out as the officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trade.

it was a very nice show from president who knew that i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my is not bashful close to mr donald trump thank you susan to much for the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how i come there. news that's what i call that a recorder or a network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is you know 100 percent negative i.q. and we've. changed the us changes so sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be a pretty good report another as good as you. will see what happened so who knows those who knows what we'll see on the bill will be sick so. the world is driven by

dreamers shaped by the one percent of those great. things. we dare to ask. us the one business show you can't afford to miss on fairmont i say ok in washington coming up the u.s.

companies are different pleased with president trump's trade wars with thousands filing lawsuits against the u.s. government over tariffs and president from threats to twitter and starting lawmakers to hold off on any stimulus negotiations until after the election meanwhile federal reserve chairman said there is little risk and over dealing at risks overdoing it seem for now to be smaller even if policy actions ultimately prove to be greater than needed they will not go to waste. we have a lot to get to fill up gets started. on tuesday the european medicines agency or announced it's reviewing the 1st batch of code in 1000 vaccine data in a joint statement vaccine developers biotech and pfizer said the start of the review is based on.
