let it be an arms race, fearing dramatic development. the only posts really exists. i don't see how that strategy will be successful to sit down and talk french foreign minister said we have every reason to believe that what happened to him in terms of chemical into his body could have happened in germany. also ahead on the program. documentary on u.s.

armed groups, flagging its potential, while reports, groups with no warnings. we have to notification system in place for this particular this is something i've heard all traces of the integrity of the 2020 they see in the war for the region.

there were churning in from across the globe. welcome to moscow into r.t. international you know, neil here with your global our top story. russia's foreign minister has given his response to long running allocations. alexina volney was poisoned with a nerve agent. speaking of an international conference before leaving russia for germany in august, the opposition figure had tested negative for toxins, meaning he could have been targeted after his departure. across the story, it seems russia has had enough, after months of what most go, so as groundless accusations. foreign minister sergei lavrov says vali could have been poisoned after he left hospital in russia. lucy is just the one you 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 were on the plane and was she was flown to the charity hospital?

exactly. how else can the sudden appearance of toxic materials in the vollies 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 very quickly accused of using a banned nerve agent and punished with these sanctions. pick them up, there was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent, with a chemical agent and a business related in russia. and therefore, it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion i call on russia to do more to investigate this

case. a case such as this must have consequences. the, therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on russia's accusing. now its 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 her must, and i can repeat, this is 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 saying sions, and since germany was the driving force behind these e.u. sanctions over the nerve, on the case and sense, these sanctions directly affects high ranking staffers of the russian president's administration. we will respond in kind of all russian requests for proof or any lead date, or were poll lightly 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

have informed the open c.w. that the russian side can approach to ask further questions. ironically,, when addressing the o.p.c. w., russia was told to go back and ask germany, which made moscow doubt their organizations 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 our case. and now with the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy. and now russia says it may consider leaving the o.p.c. w. . so the ball is in europe's court. some background to the story. alexina valmy is a prominent activist and critic of the russian government. he felt sick on august 20th, on board, a plane flying from the siberian city of thompson. to moscow,

the aircraft made an emergency landing in the city of mr. novelli was taken to a local hospital. he was put into an induced coma, remained in office for 2 days. is some poles were sent to several russian lumps where tests were run. none of them found traces of any talks in his system. the only family insists that his life would be in danger if he stayed in russia on a range for his transportation to a top clinic in bergen. then in early september, german authorities concluded that novelli had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group. we discussed the case with a german member of the european parliament, 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. 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 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 all 3 into 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 end her 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 this accusation? switch almost ridiculous. but if there would lead to 2 new countermeasures against russia, it would be to your of would we want. so it's

a dangerous game. were you aware of watching r t documentaries can be dangerous activity, at least according to you tube, but warnings. one of our latest reports on the armed activist gaining influence in the us from both the extreme left and right has been flagged as potentially offensive your previous. the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus spend. the rest of them to the level of civil unrest sparked by the death george floyd's end of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. here was only ok. what's about if you want a war, let it begin with us. we're going to, you meet these groups and their leaders to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe the stupid for this country. yes, so interesting,

really, there are different versions of the you tube warning for the documentary, depending on your language settings, russian speakers are told the material could frighten or shock, some users pretty tame. then for english speaking peers, it's branded, quote, offensive, or inappropriate to some audiences. to watch it, you have to sign in to prove your age to where you are, my colleague, to talk to the creator of the work. 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 have involved in the protest movement is on the rise, especially in the 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 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's 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, as we were 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 boogaloo boys. there's plenty of documentaries of news stories about this group

where they're talking about their doctrine where they're standing there with guns. 5 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 in this charged weapon, assault rifles. and although none of them are criminals of the laws in, in that any possible way. so it's not that we were talking with bad people or criminals know the or just regular citizens, but they are, have 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 are quite disturbing you think about it because

they were talking about the looming civil conflict in the us about the deep division and 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 that just watch out, guys 3, disturbing content. so we hold 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 you tube,, a protest in, 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, 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. well, we have asked you to, to explain why the documentary i will give it its full name boogaloo boys. busy why armed protesters are preparing for civil war in america? that's the subtitle was labeled as potentially offensive. we're still awaiting a reply. i will tell you though, it's not the 1st example of our team material being flagged before the u.s. election. twitter, more of a report is misleading, meaning it couldn't be shared. twitter has rules against manipulating or interfering in elections. but the video was a fraud allegations which i've been made by the trump campaign, and more importantly were widely reported elsewhere. independent journalist look,

gave us his view on the way videos are being centered on the major online platforms . this is crazy. this come last too far before. busy as you say, i mean if you put a blur or nudity almost facebook or a traitor at the office, no problem. but now they venture into political world. there are other things that you can say and those that you can't express, or if it comes from our t.v. . it comes from russia. everybody knows that tome every american ness. i'm assault rifle on a submachine gun and a cut too many weapons in america. and when you have thought of the left or on the right, you know, in the streets, ready to fight each other. it's a great, dangerous thing, moxy. and this must be shown so that the people of reliance, america is going to jump the gun. so it was

a very young who are doing to job of selecting what is good or bad. i don't know really about all this relatively new to politics, to the old time politics. so maybe they don't really know what they do. it is just the beginning of censorship own being put in place in america, especially for russian news. this is r t international though i had the armenian prime minister, is under intense pressure over a peace deal with azerbaijan, that many of his people to see us up a trail. we break that story more in 1000 seconds and got is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed? what will make you feel safe from? tyson nation, full community. are you going the right way or are you being led some direct. what is true? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths for a mate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then babies

babies, which is the rhythmic pattern. so you should get that turns out she looked into it 1st. what was happening was that the babies could actually hear their mothers a look at top. democrats are accusing republicans of wasting the country's time and bring the fight against covert 19 by refusing to concede defeat in the us presidential election. senate minority leader, chuck schumer, those words team trying to claims of voter fraud branding, and nothing more than conspiracy theories. instead of working to pull the country

back together so that we can fight our common enemy covert 19 republicans in congress are spreading conspiracy theories. the republicans should stop their shenanigans about an election that president trump has already lost. congressional republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason, but fear of donald trump. well, most of the american media is toeing the same line, while branding any reports alleging voter fraud as misinformation, artie's killer blocking reports on the questioning the us election results is tantamount to sacrilege. the media is outraged that anyone 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. 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 read 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, these senate runoff elections are coming up and another new york times columnist has this idea. i hope everybody moves to georgia, you know, in the next month or 2 registers to vote and vote for these 2 democratic senators. 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 bold r.t. new york. well, the whole issue of voter fraud remains highly debated, highly divisive a skilled was going through it, many believing it's been going on for years while others demand more evidence this time around for team if there is fraud and what the courts want to see is fraud you have to have a public particularities, which means that who, what, when, why, where or how ok. so if there was fraud, where is it? you can't make conclusory allegations and that's what he's doing. and that's why it's lawsuits are falling short. that's what, that's what i say 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 the they are immediately expected to accept defeat. at the very time when the democrats 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 this is precisely a frame up or change of us president could mean a change of fate for julian assange, the wiki leaks founder is currently in a u.k. prison waiting for a court to decide whether to extradite him stateside. a songe was charged under the u.s. espionage act on 18 months during donald trump's time in the white house, he's accused of unlawfully obtaining and publishing state secrets on defector died, faces up to 175 years in prison. democrats as well, joe biden included,

haven't pulled any punches when discussing a songe in the past. because you can also, 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 when it's done the truth, a little bit more complicated. the obama biden administration actually prosecuted more whistleblowers than any other. the list includes chelsea manning who leaked documents to julian assange, john edward snowden. they lifted the lid on the n.s.a.'s master valence program. however, the obama administration decided not to charge a son's himself earlier. my colleague neil harvey spoke to a son, his former legal representative julian burnside. he believes the future looks brighter for the wiki leaks founder and for

a biden presidency. 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 and 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 barmah presidential year, a bomber had made a big thing about, you know, trying to create opportunities for whistleblowers to encourage them. but actually, 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, or on 4th of january, if biden is ultimately accepted as the president,

i think that's 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 stents or will that still base 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 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 said, it's a pretty horrible prospect. and the what a chelsea manning was treated in relation to the same matters or related matters

gives no confidence about the sound will be treated. it's a reason why this 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 armenians are furious about, their countries peace deal with azerbaijan, seeing it as a defeat for the past 2 days, you're a fan, has been gripped by an rest with protesters, calling on the prime minister to step down. people have been gathering outside parliament in the armenian capital throughout the day, where there's a heavy police presence. multiple arrests being made, we spoke to locally based reporter joe. so we're back in freedom square today in

the city center. so the opera house scene of yesterday's protest. well, it was a clash between rightly and protest was around 2000, protesters were here yesterday. $3000.00 similar probably of a small crowd today, but there's also reports of protests across the city outside the that's the russian state, security offices, flood parliament itself. just some commotion behind me is riot police arrest dispersing protesters. i believe there was a couple of arrest just as the protest finished and it seems to be carrying on behind me is largely organized by opposition. parties only through the main power of the 17 parties who have called on the protests and called for the prime minister mikhail passion and to resign. since his speech was made on monday with the budget on which mr. tourist-y. these protesters of the

police tried to approach her primary not with her tonight. that's for sure to tell you about tomorrow. it looks like it's still kicking off. and i mean, a lot of russian military helicopters have landed in a corner car a back as part of a peacekeeping contingent. moscow has sent close to 2000 troops into the area to monitor the cease fire. they're now guarding the key routes linking back to armenia . so far, 6 temporary observation posts have been set up now under the new treaty will hold on to its military gains, plus, among other things, or many is obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month, reported russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces a prisoner exchange will also be implemented. jeremy kinsmen who served as canadian ambassador to armenia. explain to us why he's optimistic about the peace deal.

there's nothing wrong with patriotic commotions, but when they are directed with such hostility toward the other side from both, it takes great creativity to do to counsel people to, to learn again to live together. it's going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders change the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries in year 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 from us. we are all set to cross the some more great programs in moments discover what's being served up wherever you are tuning in from

today. after the break. i mean, and i mean on this is 247 r.t. internet one else seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call me yet to see how does the etiquette and in detroit equal the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by.
