try to eliminate old traces of 2021, minutes past 8 pm here in the 12th hope we find you well, welcome to our 2 international. russia's foreign minister has given his response to long running allegations that all position figure was poisoned with a nerve agent speaking to an international conference before leaving russia for
12:02 pm
germany. back in august, the opposition figure had tested negative for toxins, meaning he could have been targeted after his departure. the story, it seems russia has had enough after months of what most go. so as groundless accusations, foreign minister sergei lavrov says in a volley could have been poisoned after he left hospital in russia. we have every reason to believe that what happened to him in terms of chemical warfare agents getting into his body could have happened in germany or on the plane on which she was flown to the charity hospitals. exactly. how else can the sudden appearance of toxic materials in the bali samples be explained? he stressed the results were clear when he was in arms. that's according to russian doctors. we need surely treated him and several russian laboratories. it's only often a volley was taken to believe that we heard about traces of navi chalk from germany 1st, then friends in sweden despite there being no solid evidence proven it. russia was
12:03 pm
very quickly accused of using a band nerve agent and punished with the new sanctions. russia is accusing now his western partners have been unreliable and is now ready to respond with mirror sanctions. it is difficult for me to understand the motives of our german partners . i already told this to hike among us. and i can repeat this. it's not a secret that we see how germany took the role of a leader in the new escalation of relations with the russian federation. there will of course be a response to the sanctions. and since germany was the driving force behind these e.u. sanctions over the nevaeh in the case. and since these sanctions directly affects high ranking staffers of the russian president's administration, we will respond in kind all russian requests for proof or any lead date or were politely denied. so i would like to reiterate that we do not expect the bearer of bad news, namely us to be criticized. it would be better to deal with the news itself. we,
12:04 pm
have informed the c.w., an organization that the russian side can approach to ask further questions., ironically, one, addressing the o.p.c. w., russia was told to go back and ask germany, which made moscow doubt the organization's motives. i will be blunt, the o.p.c. w.'s technical secretary, it is increasingly turning into a tool in the west. ham's, which is being used to exert informational and political pressure on countries that fail to toe the line. this conclusion is backed up by the watch dogs involvement in anti russian campaigns earlier with the script out case. and now with the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy and now russia. 8 says it may consider leaving the o.p.c. w. . so the ball is in europe's court. let's bring you some background to the story. alexina vali is a prominent activist and critic of the russian government. he fell sick on the 20th of august on board, a plane flying from the same city of tomsk to moscow. the aircraft made an
12:05 pm
emergency landing in the city. although mr. novelli was taken to a local hospital, he was put into juice. coma remained for 2 days. his samples were sent to several russian labs where tests were run. none of them found traces of any toxin in his system in the valleys family insisted his life would be in danger if he stayed in russia and arranged for his transportation to a top clinic in berlin. and in early september, german authorities concluded that novelli had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group. we discuss the case with a german member of the european parliament. maximillian craw the who play and the whole plot on of army is shaming. germany is doing a lot of accusations against russia, but is not delivering evidence. and so i'm very critical to what the handling of that case by did to him and political class by the government. and i'm,
12:06 pm
i'm fully with the russian authorities who demand stronger evidence. but for me, my, my greatest concern or my, my most serious concern, is to german russian relationship, especially. concerning does got gas project and north rim 2. we are in the, in a spiral of sanctions, and i didn't thi, where this might lead to. on the one hand we have to enter russian sanctions, which are seen widely as ridiculous and unfair even in the german public. not in the political class, but among the majority of the people, there is no support for do sanctions. and now russian is doubling. doing take fortec. i understand it. did russia is sick of accusations which are most ridiculous, but if there would lead to new countermeasures against russia, it would be to europe of world we want. so it's
12:07 pm
a dangerous game. watching r.t. documentaries can be a dangerous activity, at least according to you tube warnings. one of our latest reports on the armed activist skinning influence in the us from both the extreme left and right, it's been flagged as potentially offensive for now. here's a preview. the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus the rest of them to the level of civil unrest marked by the death, george floyd. and the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum here was only ok. what's about if you want to let it begin, what else we're going to meet these groups and their leaders to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe to steve. for this country.
12:08 pm
there are different versions of the warning for the film. depending on your language settings, russian speakers are told the material could frighten or shock some users for english speaking viewers, it's branded quote, fences or inappropriate to some audiences. to watch it, you have to sign in to prove your age or you're my colleague, jackson figure talk to the creator of the documentary. just so, you know, i have a 7 year old son and he was watching this documentary right next to me and we're not letting him watch harry potter because we think it's too much. of course, it's not exactly the kids content. it is about american radical groups and people who are having to involved in the protest movements that is on the rise, especially in this days and months before the election. but i think in that, in this documentary, there is nothing that is overkill or over the top. and for me, it is really weird and strange why it was flagged and especially the way it was
12:09 pm
flagged. so if you try to watch it right now, it has, it gives you 1st notification saying that the content was identified as inappropriate and offensive. and then you press confirm, but it won't let you in. it has another notification pops right after it. and it says pretty much the same just in the, in other words, word order. so we have to fold the notification system in place for this particular documentary. and that is word. this is something unheard of. i think, well those you're mentioning there, you actually have to log in. so for me personally, you know, i tried to just open up you tube, google it, and open it up and look at it. and it said you have to sign in. i don't have a youtube account, which means that certain people are not going to be able to access this movie. whereas i looked at what i just searched in youtube for one of the groups that you said was in the film, the google boys. there's plenty of documentaries of news stories about this group
12:10 pm
where they're talking about their doctrine where they're standing there with guns and you think it would be about the same thing. is that the sort of content that's in the movie? it's these men talking about their beliefs. pretty much so. so yeah, we spoke to the members of blue movement and these are probably are. and guys who are not afraid to come out to protest care. this charged weapon, assault, rifles. and although none of them are criminals of flaws in, in that any possible way. so it's not that we were talking with, you know, bad people or criminals know the or just regular citizens. but they are how the involved in protests. but it's not against the law, right. in the us. would you say that anything they spoke about would have been considered radical? i wouldn't say so. some of the things that they were or why disturbing you think
12:11 pm
about it because they were talking about the looming civil conflict in the us about the deep division polarization. that is taking place in the country about the probable outcome, the revolution, whatever that means. but it's not that they were, you know, getting into any kind of specifics. and we have, we have a special waiver before the film saying, just watch out guys. there are disturbing content, so we told radio now instead to your audience,, do you think this is specifically because this is coming from our t.v., or is it just because this is coming right around the election and censorship and warning people it seems to be the name of the game looked up specifically other videos published by american outlets and other media organization on the you tube, protests in the u.s., specifically in portland, the groups you mentioned the boys and whatsoever. so some of those videos were flagged by you tube. is that appropriate for people who are under age,
12:12 pm
but none of them had this notification system. so we are, i think, for some reason being targeted here. i think we should, we can rightfully say so, and i have no explanation whatsoever of why it happened to us. we have to explain why documentary named b.l.o. boogaloo boys why armed protesters are preparing for civil war in america was labeled as potentially offensive. we are awaiting a reply. this is not the 1st example of our team material that's been flagged online before the u.s. election, twitter mark, one of our reports is misleading, meaning it couldn't be shared. it was an account of fraud allegations which had been made by the trump campaign. all of those claims had been widely reported elsewhere in the reveal give us his views on the way videos are being flagged on the major online platforms. just as crazy did come too far before
12:13 pm
as you say, i mean if you put a good lawyer or almost no problem, now they venture into political world. there are other things that you can say that, you can't really, if it comes from our t.v., it comes from russia. everybody knows. every american i'm assault rifle, i'm a submachine gun and too many consider america. and when you have all of the latest on the right, you know, in the streets, ready to fight each other. it's really dangerous. and this must be shown so that the people who rely on medicare is going so your program is perfect for that. why do they stop it? in moving the program on? armenians are furious about their country's peace deal with azerbaijan. seeing it
12:14 pm
as a humiliating defeat for the past 2 days. you're yvonne has been gripped by on wrist with protesters, calling on the prime minister to step down. and protesters are gathering side parliament in the armenian capital where there's a heavy police presence. most people arrests have been made. we spoke to local correspondent, joe. so back in freedom square today in your one city center, i saw the opera house scene of yesterday's protests where there was a clash between right police and protesters around 2000 protesters were here yesterday, 3000, similar, probably a bit smaller crowd today,, but there's also reports of protests across the city outside the s.s., the national state security offices, and now flood parliament itself. just some commotion behind me is as riot police arrest, dispersing protest, as i believe there was a couple of arrest just as a protest finished. and it seems to be carrying on behind me. the protesters is
12:15 pm
largely organized by opposition parties. although only 2 of them are in power. the 17 parties who has called on the protests and called for the prime minister mikhail passion and to resign since his speech as a scale was made on monday with that either by john which has been seen as trichuris by these protesters who have labeled cynical it as a passion, young and it's filled with sleaze trying to approach her and trying to produce a respirator behind me. it's not like with us tonight a special moment. it's a hoot about tomorrow night's, but it looks like it's still kicking off. you know, it's still a couple 100 people here today. nicholson and again made a speech via facebook and on television. and he made a federalist last because the last few days hasn't appeared in public. yeah, i did. they mention today that he feared for his life when he signed the deal. he knew he knew that the kind of way of the situation just the man being arrested
12:16 pm
today right now behind me. felix being taken over to the right place with protesters and media following behind this very small amount of i mean around the streets. it's hard to say whether this is the general feeling of the majority of the population and all of the very vocal minority, you know, off currently leading the protests. but what will come, he said, is all meanings are and where we are in short of following monday's deal, and the way they are expressing it is slightly different. perhaps. meanwhile, russian military helicopters have landed in nagorno-karabakh as part of a peacekeeping contingent. moscow has sent almost 2000 troops into the area to monitor the cease fire. under the new car backed treaty, azerbaijan will hold on to its military gains, plus armenia is obliged to handover 3 districts by the end of the month. it's also been agreed that russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces on roads linking the region to armenia. germy kinsmen who served as
12:17 pm
canadian ambassador to armenia explain to us why he's optimistic about the peace deal. where you have a narrative that goes back decades. when you have asked nick group, if you want that lives in 2 countries. and when, when leaders whip up nationalist sentiment, it becomes very, very difficult because it's very emotional. and there's nothing wrong with patriotic commotions when they are directed with such hostility. toward the other side from both people inherit generation to generation a narrative and it takes, it takes great creativity,
12:18 pm
a true, true to counsel people, to learn again, to live together. it's going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders obtain the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries. in years and 2000, very well trained, russian troops will be very effective. but what will be most effective will be self discipline. on the part of the 2 sides, and i think that can only be a jade through communication for most sections of the american mainstream. media are seeking to eliminate all that joe biden won the race to the white house, going so far as to brown reports on probes into alleged voter fraud. as misinformation here show us, correspondent, kill up and questioning the u.s. election results is tantamount to sacrilege. the media is outraged that anyone
12:19 pm
would talk about ballot fraud, especially this new york times columnist. facebook is absolutely teeming with right wing misinformation right now. these are all among the 10 most engaged on the platform of the post 24 right wing information. so what is this misinformation that he feels is so dangerous and unacceptable and that well, perhaps the reason that this information is deemed to be so dangerous is because those headlines are actually true. and what about this guy? 2nd, pennsylvania u.s.p.s.
12:20 pm
whistleblower claims postmaster ordered late ballots picked up and separated. while the washington post came forward and said, this is all a big hoax that the postal worker has recanted his story. well, that's a great journalistic exposé, except the postal worker says he has not recanted there to say that i did not prepare my statements. head of the republican national committee says they have 234 pages containing 500 signed affidavits alleging 11000 incidents of potential voter fraud. now you have a media that's rigging it again by saying we're not going to listen to these stories. we're not even to validate. the 11000 incident reports that we have, the 500 affidavits we have across the state. 11000 witnesses is not a small number. now in georgia, senate runoff elections are coming up and another new york times columnist has this idea. i bet everybody moves to georgia, you know, in the next month or 2 registers to vote and vote for these 2 democratic senators.
12:21 pm
well, in georgia, that is actually a felony. it is illegal to move to georgia simply for the purpose of registering to vote. only people in georgia with the stablished residency are able to vote. republicans have a lot of questions about the election results that showed joe biden. as the clear winner. now at this point we've got mainstream media saying those questions are simply off limits. however, that seems to be making the trump base even more of a bolt. r.t. new york lee issue of voter fraud remains highly debated with many believing it's been going on for years while others demand more evidence this time around. if there is fraud, and what the courts want to see is brought, you have to have a public particularities. which means that who, what, when, why, where or how? ok? so if there is crock, where is it? you kept me conclusory allegations and that's what he's doing,
12:22 pm
and that's why it's lawsuits are falling short. that's what, that's what is it represents. bring it for the democrats every time they lose an election and immediately cry how this is going on for decades. black, when the republicans lose the election, then they are immediately expected to accept defeat. at the very time when the democrats are saying no problems, no parole that took place. anyone who's claiming that was brought up and there is the dearest, they should be actually actively perpetrating a fraud by saying go down to georgia for a golfing holiday and then been in the form and say you are a legal resident. that is precisely a prayer. let's change of u.s. president could mean a change of fate. for julian, the songe,
12:23 pm
the wiki leaks founder is currently in a u.k. prison, waiting for a court to decide whether to extradite him stateside. songe was charged under the u.s. espionage act on 18 clients. during a time in the white house, he's accused of unlawfully obtaining and publishing state secrets and if extradited faces up to 175 years in prison. democrats to biden included not to poll their punches when discussing a son in the past. mitch mcconnell, so he's a high tech terrorist, others say this is akin to the pentagon papers where you can, i would argue that it is closer to the high tech terrorists. and then the pentagon papers describes a traitor, a treasonous, and he has broken every law the united states, the guy ought to be. so i'm not for the death penalty. so if i'm not for the death penalty, want to do it illegally shoot the son of a cancer or what he has done. and in fact,
12:24 pm
the obama biden administration actually prosecuted more whistleblowers than any other. the list includes chelsea manning who leaked documents to julian assange and edward snowden, who lifted the lid on the n.s.a.'s surveillance programs. however, the obama administration this sided not to charge just silence himself. earlier my colleague neil harvey spoke to us songes, former legal representative julian burnside. he say's that the future looks brighter for the wiki leaks founder under a president biden. i know that he's written lation about hillary clinton affected the democrats rather than the republicans. but in my opinion, joe biden is a much more rational being that donald trump, if it was. how would you assess joe biden's approach towards whistleblowers? i know that when he was vice president in the presidential year, a bomber had made a big thing about, you know, trying to create opportunities for whistleblowers to encourage them. but actually,
12:25 pm
the reality was quite different and they prosecuted more whistleblowers, i think than any other ministration prior to them. i still think that biden will adopt a rational approach. mind you, he will not be president of the 4th of january. so i suspect are on 4th of january, if biden is ultimately accepted as the president, i think that going to be a better outcome for than it would otherwise be on the part of the reason why assad is in the predicament he is because of the leaking of information private information relating to the democratic party by an obviously democrat, to think all will be forgiven and forgotten to well to the next stent. or will there still bay some kind of goods from the party itself? it's worth remembering that chelsea manning received a pardon or commutation from a bomber. and i think the same thinking that lead to that result
12:26 pm
is likely to influence biden, if he becomes president. and if assad ends up in america, there's talk of the likelihood he'll be sent to this supermax prison, which a warden previous warden of not prison said in the face were worse than death being sent. it's a pretty horrible prospect. and the way chelsea manning was treated in relation to the same matters or related matters gives no confidence about the way sound will be treated. it's a reason why these train government should come in and help him, but they've done nothing absolutely nothing to help him. i think we should be concerned about about if he's mistreated, i don't see any leader of the mainstream press. who is sought to be punished as a result of the publication of things that the assad government
12:27 pm
or calls for donald trump. to concede the election are of course continuing, but democrats appear to forgotten votes in 2016. they too found it difficult to accept a projected loss artie's done in the hawkins' compares then. despite the heated rhetoric fierce the bates and downright insults in the run up to the election, one thing remain, untouchable, the integrity of the vote counting process and certification vice president biden. final question for you will you were urging his supporters to stay calm while the vote is counted and will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently sort of? yes, but as the race went, merican meg with supporters on both sides, claiming victory was within their grasp the rules of the game changed. sarah, what do you say to the americans that are anxious over the fact that president trump has yet to concede and what that might mean for the country? well, i just think it's a baseless claims by the president and his supporters,
12:28 pm
that there's been widespread voter fraud and that the election was somehow rigged or stolen from president trump. that kind of rhetoric is extremely dangerous, extremely poisonous to our democracy. if i were an intelligence analyst in a foreign country, looking at the united states, you know, i'd be, i'd be writing up the slow slide into autocracy. there was a time when democrats saw things differently. candidates lost by more electoral college votes than this election was viewed as an injustice. as i've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign. you can even become the nominee. and you can have the election stolen from you, the kremlin was allegedly behind that election result helping trump to power several years. and millions of dollars later, an investigation concluded there was no criminal conspiracy. yet now the boy in
12:29 pm
this projected so when the results are accepted at face value, and this time the presidency was a power and he won fair and square. all we've seen so far in the us is the mainstream media, which of course has been behind your biden 1000 percent declaring on their own. that joe biden is the president elect with democratic party for 4 years. and still not conceded that hillary clinton lost in 26 d. no matter what they did, no matter how they tried to steal the election from trump at the time they invented russia, great to try to 1st, undermine then candidate, and one from one to undermine his presidency. at the point of the apocalypse, and it's a bunch of lies from the democrats, but even if biden didn't win, the democrats had a back up plan. no surrender. joe biden should not concede under any circumstances, because i think this is going to drag out. and eventually i do believe he will win if we don't get it. and now the tables are turned with trump refusing to concede
12:30 pm
his opponent, so willing to go to just about any links to see the back of him, plus present tense. the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism . i think they would seriously consider booking the 25th amendment and pushing donald trump out on calls from the democrats, who spent almost the entire term looking for evidence the election was stolen. for trump to accept defeat and move on, looked like double standards at best, left out have any lockers, no lockers about how the president should immediately sure are probably going to election results from the same characters or just spent 4 years refusing to accept the validity of the law and who and sonia waited, the 1st one would be a legitimate clue if they lost to go only if a lot of.
