blows in a televised debate just over a week after the chaotic presidential showdown between trump and biden. hello from moscow this is artsy international my name called and brave of the world news and reaction that we're tracking for you this hour 1st russia has dismissed the findings of the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w which said 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 moscow says it still awaiting any response to its repeated requests to germany asking to be allowed to cooperate in the developing investigation election of ellen he fell severely ill on a domestic flight in russia or in late august he received emergency treatment in the city of before later being airlifted to germany for specialist care and investigation concluded that he had been poisoned with a nerve agent reporting from berlin his peter oliver. 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. finding the says the foundation for allegations it's 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 see gather with the leadership of the technical secretary and of dio p c w it has continued in accordance we did 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. . well talking of ramifications france and germany have issued a joint statement saying they will propose sanctions against key russian individuals later this week russia's foreign ministry branded the move unacceptable adding that instead of cooperating on the case germany and france have now turned to threats by mail. we have b.c.w.s. in the spotlight for another reason to a former head of the organizations being blocked from speaking at a un security council meeting coming up and discussed that with correspondent

saskia taylor. what seems an irony for the u.n. which is of course the organization it's all about putting together international voices about discussing difficult topics it has bought a former chief of the you from speaking to the security council now we're talking about the star and he's a brazilian to promote he was invited before us to right 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 postpone 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 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 ruffle these for this you think well he was planning on discussing 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 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 said most of the duty and felt to see reports on the instant 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 a list of whether or not this is substance to the concerns raised about to pursue the obvious 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 image of reputation while the 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 is the opposite of me is back in the spotlight is involved in this entire political saga regarding alexei navarro me with allegations now that the 0 percent of you is the. holding the information on his case many

cynics would point out that now of course it would not have been a good time for an insider like the star 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 russian military expert you go to colin believes there are still many questions over the whole develop the case what bit of the news then could. first of all we still don't know the exact substance use no one told us about it unfortunately during yesterday's inhibitors come in a wide range of substances all nerve agents have them as well as some medications or substance from the no but your group and the chemical weapon called are 2 different things the substance can be mildly toxic as toxic gases die crew verse that we use in daily life to kill in 6 months the difference is 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 the same but quite different forces. 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 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. hospitals in england have recorded the highest daily covert admission since early june it added pressure to a government already under fire over its response to the health crisis critics say that the authorities have done nothing but the seeds of confusion and code it showed reports next from london. 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 the super spreaders a blindly unaware the still spreading thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to code 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 again with mixed messages

coming from those in 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 in tools 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 off to rule these all around precedented 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 look down

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. scuffles broke out in tel aviv between police and protesters who were angered at the israeli government's handling of the pandemic. and to say hundreds gathered to denounce the latest covert restrictions there the protesters have also demanded the resignation of prime minister benjamin netanyahu

they claim he's using the virus as a distraction from his ongoing corruption trial is what some had to say. course that he is using this crisis in order to use remaining 2 thieves to avoid to avoid as. we are afraid. to. create. a civil war between us please please let me didn't let me out. because the thing stealing our democracy he's the. he's a he's a kenyan paid to do anger is very strong very strong do we not start until he resigns or moved away. and we get rid of him forever. you british born i still fighters alleged to have been members of a notorious execution gang known as the beatles have been flown to the united states to face trial the group's been linked to the kidnapping and killing of more

than 20 hostages in syria and iraq several of the victims were filmed being beheaded across his forests in new york is correspondent had a ball in either caleb for the victims found is this days been a long time coming hasn't it. indeed now we heard from the u.s. state department about the 2 individuals who are set to face charges and stand trial for their involvement with this new taurus isis cell now the individuals al shafeeq shaikh as well as alexander mancow 10 a are facing some pretty serious charges take a listen to what was announced. my message to other terrorists is this if you harm an american you will face the same fate as these men you will face american arms in the batter of the battlefield and if you survive that you will face american justice in an american courtroom and the prospect of many years in an american

prison now it's quite an interesting slew of charges facing the 2 members of the isis cell known as the beatles for their british accents now they face the charge of the hostage taking resulting in death conspiracy to commit hostage taking resulting in death as well as conspiracy to provide marriage material support to terrorists now if convicted on these charges they could face a life sentence now the terrorist cell was famous for its grisly beheading videos we all remember those horrendous beheading videos now the leader of this terrorist cell who is known as jihadi john he was killed in an airstrike in 2015 now these 2 individuals were captured in january of 2018 at according to the u.s. state department they had just arrived today in the united states to stand trial for their alleged crimes. ok for now kind of open in new york thanks for that.

and you know with t.v. from moscow still plenty at this wednesday evening a shot of the for the fight against covert russia says that the mass rollout of its vaccine could begin as early as this month we're going to that for you among other stories after the break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. of a good new this hour opponents competition watchdog has slapped a massive fine on russia's state controlled gas giant gazprom and also 5 other companies working on the huge no one stream 2 pipeline project. i have made the decision to issue the most serious maximal financial sanctions on the order to

disband agreements by parties undertaking involvement in the building and financing of the north stream to gas pipeline or poland's anti-monopoly watchdog role that the gas pipeline is a risk to polish consumers and also european energy security its find gas probably more than $7600000000.00 for not securing its approval 5 other european energy companies involved in financing the project will find a total of $61000000000.00 of the e.u.'s competition commission's expressed its surprise in saying that it's rare to see antitrust fines of such size of the maximum the poland's still could do all of those paid allies say they reject the decision gas process it's going to appeal this decision violates the principles of legality proportionality and fair trial the unprecedented size of the fine shows the desire to oppose the implementation of the stream to projects at all costs. the

north stream to pipeline project is in its final stages of construction it will double the amount of gas that russia can supply to europe via germany poland along with the u.s. and baltic states of firmly against the project citing concerns about energy dependence on moscow potence even suggested the germany use an alternative for delivering gas from norway. if germany declares energy neat poland is open to it using the infrastructure that we are building for our own energy security. their reaction next then we can talk to a member of germany's the left parties have a soley in germany where that pipeline ultimately ends up welcome to the program what do you make of poland's move them by the competition watchdog where it's been off the gas proving he is. it asked because poland house of course an interest to remain in the position to is threatened germany's and energy. because poland has the possibility to cap the gas supply to germany and what's there up so

that is the mission that is threatened by north through to poland so alone as i mentioned earlier as well as the competition aspect they think the prices will go up if there's too much supply from one source but also they have those energy security workers as well are they justified. well according to about such all economics textbook you can find if supply goes up and prices go go down on top so this ridiculous real threat to that is no longer have the potential lack mail western europe and russia russia and so they that the prices. which are there right now might go up poland already suggested to the bench as well earlier although there's an alternative to the old stream to pipeline is there a bit of lobbying going on here from an alternative rival souls and there's lobbying going on because the urgent of what of course will poland and this

alternative is what poland that what the united states states want means that they can control west arabs and germany's any energy supply and they can threaten it at any time. i would even if this does go to court it could take years before a final decision so it's not over yet for now but only from germany's the left party thanks for joining us. thank you. in moscow cove it is continuing to make its presence felt over the past 20 days infections have been steadily increasing again although they are down slightly today tuesday though saw more than 4000 new cases logged your sources are growing increasingly concerned over the growing numbers as well while there's no talk of a citywide lockdown yet wearing masks on public transport and in public places continues to be mandatory and everyone over the age of 65 is being advised to stay at home and when it comes to vaccines russia's health minister says the mass rollout of the sputnik v. jab could start as early as this month he's recently said that the latest trial
