the headlines an article nothing but an excuse for sanctions that's why russia has created news the global chemical weapons watchdog has confirmed germany's findings the prominent kremlin critic electing the valmy was poisoned with. 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 the former chief of. barred from speaking at the un security council about a controversial probe into no alleged chemical attack in syria 2 years ago also to come with a new case chalking up europe's highest death toll on the country seeing a new surge of infections and ministers praise for the way the government's handled

the health crisis is called into question and send in the vice squad commander harrison might. call a televised debate just over a week since the chaotic presidential round between trump and biden. hello there good to have you company deceiving just talk in the russian capital you're watching r.t. international now russia has dismissed the findings of the global chemical weapons watch told the a.p. c.w. that said a not beat not be chopped nerve agent was used to poison the high profile kremlin critic alexina valmy. until we are 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 when moscow has made repeated requests to germany asking to be allowed to cooperate in the case and yet to be taken up on the offer alexina valmy fell severely ill on an internal flight in russia in late august he received emergency treatment in the city of homs before later being airlifted to germany for specialist care an investigation by berlin concluded he had been poisoned with a nerve agent peter all of his more details. 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 cool 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 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 of 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. marty early well the o.p.c. w. is in the spotlight too for another reason is former chief joe is a priest arnie has been blocked from speaking at a un security council meeting my colleague kevin own discussed this with artie's saskia taylor. what seems an irony for the u.s.

which is of course the organization it's all about putting together international voices about discussing difficult topics it has bought a former chief. from speaking to the security council now we're talking about the start he's a brazilian diplomatic 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 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 any reading the speech 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 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 ruffled 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 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 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 say most of the duty of the c. reports in the instant the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally regular 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 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 about to pursue the behavior in to 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 major 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 he 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 is the opposite of me is back in the spotlight is involved in this entire political saga regarding alexina vaal me with allegations now that the w.

is why. holding the information on his case many cynics would point out that now of course would not have been a good time for an insider like the starr me to reveal that in his and others experience evidence is not treated secretly within the o.p.c. w. and in fact sometimes it doesn't correlate even with reality. the former u.n. member of the commission on biological weapons you call it does believe there are still many questions over the whole case where people can use them. first of all we still don't know the exact substance use no one told us about it unfortunately during yesterday's and here it is come in a wide range of substances all nerve agents have them as well as some medications or substance from the group and the chemical weapon called are 2 different things the substance can be mildly toxic is toxic gas dye crew verse that we use in daily life to kill in 6 months the difference there is for example

a cocktail of alcohol that can be ignited and then there is a molotov cocktail that can even set tanks on fire the 2 are the same but quite different. i think the results could have been falsified we don't know who did was with the bottle it is possible the bottle had been substituted we don't know that and there is no proof reminds me of the fake stories like with the white helmets in syria when some unknowns get bottles samples with so-called proof from the crime scenes and later it is found out today because elected someplace else. and used in hospitals in england have recorded their highest they did mission sincerely jane it's adding pressure to a government already under fire over its response to the health crisis and critics say that the authorities have done nothing but this seeds of confusion shoddy and which dashed as more. 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 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 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 bible 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 ofter 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 clarity has been replaced with confusion can the government really expect people to for the rules when it doesn't seem to know them itself shut the other stuff the artsy learned. meanwhile scuffles are broken i can tell it is between police and protesters who are angered at the israeli government's handling of the pandemic.

on tuesday hundreds gathered to denounce the latest code restrictions protesters forced the man due to the resignation of prime minister benjamin netanyahu they claim he's using the virus as a distraction from his only getting corruption trial is what some of the protesters have to say. also poor. he's using this crisis in order to remain in the sea to avoid to avoid a strike. and we are afraid it is trying to. create. a civil war between us 1st we need like we did it that way out so that he she will be there because the. stealing our democracy he's doing things and he's a king and hated the anger is very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or moved away. and we get rid of him for

ever. meanwhile more than half of all people living in extreme poverty in the paris region have been infected with hiv 19 that's according to new findings by the aid group doctors without borders reports now from the french capital has shown a dip in skin. the shutters have come down no balls 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 has 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 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 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 and misstep says that in some sentence causing 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 him on this. even 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 been forgotten all those

people are usually. are forgotten. spontaneous camps. officially didn't exist there was no special report issue for. during continuation during the pandemic to arrive to arrive to arrive and we don't know exactly what we can do. jews 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 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 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. 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 gear for those whose lives are currently being held in the balance so it r.t. paris. moscow it is also continuing to make its presence felt here because over the past 20 days infections have been steadily increasing again

although they are down slightly today that said tuesday did see more than 4000 new cases recorded authorities are growing increasingly concerned over the growing numbers while there's no talk of a citywide lockdown yet wearing masks on public transport and in public places continues. be mandatory and everybody over the age of 65 is the vice the stay at home. of newsnight that has been a huge explosion at a former military facility near the western russian city of rise and it's thought the blast happened in an old ammunition depo 2 people have been taken to hospital so far more than 1500 have been evacuated from nearby villages as a precaution firefighters are attempting to bring the situation under control however explosions continue to be heard. after growing fears of an all out war between armenia and azerbaijan there's a glimmer of hope for peace that's because armenians leader says he is ready to

make concessions in the territorial dispute over nagorno-karabakh but that's only if the other side reciprocates you dharna off as more. city us 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 has said that if i say or by john is ready to make concessions that well meaning is to use a conflict should be resolved by mutual consent. his ready for it and we'll make concessions that if there's a bush 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 a 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 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. 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 john 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 i am not afraid of them yet i can see the war we are not afraid on friday already the russian prime minister mikhail machinist and is expected to visit meaning as 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. now the race for the white house does continue tonight as democrats and republicans once again lock colons this time though it will be a feisty presidential scuffle with both trying to convince the public to back their bosses biden or trump says don't quarter report sunday question if this actually much difference between the tea party's 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 his 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 you share as an excuse or one who saw your number to know he's putin's puppy you are

a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. 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. 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 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 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 leave iraq 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. 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 wall you all know who you all know and you all got what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it's all with a noble 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 course reporting that brings up today for this hour that side of things and i think we're back again in about 35 days. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. no

dares thinks. we dare to ask. a sort of amazing country with you know so many friends in russia and i'm very excited to be here. i love that idea i think i can do that. in different eyes to make a lot of money with them with millions and hundreds of me. here's a nice one. a great wallet nobody feels a lot better than me believe me and i'll build a very inexpensive like a great great wall.

and just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for . it will see what happens who knows i always say who knows what we'll see on the field it will be success. what is wrong with us as american citizens and 80 points off best by. ever and we have a bombastic win die. and i think for my 2nd wife. she can handle it. she and i divorced because. of the work and president and i voted for him and she couldn't stand for. a republican i would vote for anyone who is not evil and has half

a brain will defeat dumptruck. with the future. we have less than a month to go before the next presidential election how is the atmosphere in the us now one of the highest priority problems how will they vote won't should they do next just some of the questions we put to americans. by name a story and paul from 42 years old and i'm speaking from my living room in my house and i can keep marilyn. per 15 years i was a water treatment technician for tricon chemicals but that job and the couple months ago there was a downturn in work. related to the 19 crisis. let's

not able to retain employees they had let someone go and it was me. we are right now in the most important election. in our history thrilled to be back in the granite state with the true hardworking american patriots last night it was my great honor to accept the republican nomination for president of the united states . donald trump you know i might think i watched his career since the 1980 s. he's kyla. figure from pop culture who rose up to become president the united states and you know i my or what he's done i think the hotel business is an honorable business since he's not making weapons he's not many other countries in that line of work so i really don't see.
