7:01 am
. broadcasting live from our world news headquarters in moscow. this is our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now next week, moscow will go into another lockdown for at least 11 days in an effort to reduce a record search in new daily coping cases and debts. all non essential shops will be closed as well as cinemas gyms and shopping centers. and for more on this we have in the studio ortiz, dmitri powell cai dmitri. now, can you just tell us what's going to happen in moscow when these restrictions, once again come into place? well, they're coming in next week, and these are actually more research that, that were for initially thought there would be 1st, yesterday put an announced that there would be days off. however, today we've learned that these measures have an extended and to what conventionally be considered a full lockdown, which will last from october 28th till november 7th, which is in total. 11 day is, ah,
7:02 am
what this basically means is that all organizations will now have to have their workers go on paid leave during this period. they must maintain their salary. however, organizations and businesses which are not deemed crucial must now be suspended for this pair. that includes jobs, sports sensors, fitness centers, cultural centers, retail and so on. all so all mass events will now be prohibited for this period. and in fact, events for over $500.00 people will remain prohibited after this period, this locked down period and, and also schools and nurseries will also now have to be suspended and distance learning and all that. well, these are definitely some serious measures what's led to them. well, it's basically been this rise in cases that we've been seeing for out the last couple of weeks. the cases in russia and especially moscow have been continuing to grow just over the past 24 hours. there's been over some 8000 cases just just in moscow. it's the highest has been for 4 months hours, not just the cases. it's also the hospitalizations there also through the roof and
7:03 am
the death. there's a lot of debts, there's over a 1000 deaths every day for the last couple weeks. it's the highest has been throughout the pandemic actually. but our, this change has, despite all the measures that the government have been trying to implement, this trend has not been going down and moscow's mayor. so i guess about who has said that these measures are intended to sort of take down the fever. it's like a fever when you have a cold, if it gets too high, the doctors can order you to take medicine, which in itself isn't a cure, but it helps your body to rest and restore your strength. well, what's going to remain open during this period and then also what's gonna happen after november 7th? well basically at this point on the only things that will remain open are pharmacies, the supermarkets places that essentially sell a 1st need goods. also, restaurants will actually still continue to be allowed to work. how are they can only do take away during this period, and after this period as well? ah, i to november 7th, also theaters museums will be allowed to open up. however,
7:04 am
they will be required to only work at 50 percent capacity. and once again is use q arcos and the requirement for protective gear. also the earlier the pro moscow, mayer introduced several measures for the elderly. ever now they've also been extended now. so after november 7th, the elderly will no longer be able to access free public transport throughout the city. however, the mayor did say that this to kind of on a positive note that people should take this as a time to be with their families. take a breath of fresh air to go for a walk, and he basically hopes that these measures will kind of rejuvenate the city. then the cities efforts to fight the code of the spread of the virus. yep. well, hopefully they do ortiz dmitri prague. thanks a lot for giving us those updates. i'll get jabbed or go. the mayor of new york has set a 2029th of october deadline for city employees to get at least one vaccine shot or go on unpaid leave. he's even offering a $500.00 sweetener,
7:05 am
but many are still resisting, including firefighters, thousands new york, sci fi fi. is that a put? there wasn't a lot of new york city on the pandemic, or being give you a mandate to get vaccinated will lose their jobs. i'm worried, it's very hard to step before houses as it is. we'll definitely be closing fire houses. if the amount of people that have told me they're not, think it vaccinated, if they get home, there's going to be serious operational problem. and that's why if you see your residents, you'll farseason is coming. but also we responded medical events as well. this month, the united states passed the grim landmark of $700000.00 covert deaths that says 57 percent of the population are vaccinated, but many are still standing up to jab mandates, police officers health care professionals, and even scientists have now moved from words to direct action, as ortiz, caleb and reports from new york. the united states has seen away as of demonstrations against the federal vaccine mandates. why are they controversial?
7:06 am
because it gives employees an ultimatum. get vaccinated or lose your job. i. i now opponents of the mandate say they are not opposed to vaccinations, they just want people to have the right to choose. and it's not only among conservatives, people are protesting all across california, washington and other progressive states. but joe biden says he has no mercy for those who refused the jap. we had to do more to vaccinate the 66000000 unvaccinated people in america. it's essential must be clear. vaccination requirements should not be another issue at devises. and i'm asking everyone, everyone who hasn't gotten vaccinated, please get vaccinated. that's how we participant them behind us. now, the vaccines are intended to protect public security and health,
7:07 am
but they're starting to have a somewhat negative effect on national security. the san francisco police themselves are now coming forward and saying they soon may not have enough staff to handle emergency calls in a city of this size with the month of october and all the things that have been gone on that that's going to put quite a dent into operations. if you take a $120.00 cops or even more off the street, what do you think is going to happen? the streets of seattle saw protests from nurses, firefighters, and police officers. the state of washington ended up losing a 127 civil servants, half of which were state troopers who refused to get the shot. he can take my job. he can't take my spirit. he can't take me morals or my ethics. more surprisingly, a high profile us national security lab could be affected. los alamos, a vital hub of the west nuclear weapons program, had over a 100 employees lose their jobs after refusing vaccination. their challenge to the
7:08 am
mandate was unsuccessful. in any organization, there are people not always recognized who quietly make the work of others possible blues them and you are in trouble. health care workers come under fire as well in rural new york and entire maternity hospital was shut down after they lost staff due to the mandate, we are unable to safe. we staffed the service after september 24th. the number of resignations received leaves us no choice but to pause, delivering babies at louis county, general hospital vaccinations are so essential to public health. but when you don't feel safe in your own home, due to soaring crime rates, and when there's no one to answer your emergency calls due to staff shortages, it starting to look like the biden administration might have created a new crisis and their bungle bid to deal with the pandemic, caleb martin,
7:09 am
r t new york world health organization is strongly advising people to get vaccinated and it says jobs prepare your immune system for an encounter with viruses. however, west benedict from the libertarian party believes the coercion is counter productive and is leading to less freedom all around. when, when we're lucian, our most talented workers, we're gonna have to spend a lot of time training new people in hiring them. and probably by the time the new people are trained, the people, the, the corona virus, we'll have subsided and not be an issue anymore. with these policies up crime is going up. a service levels are down at hospitals and clinics the stores. they still have food, but they don't have the variety that they used to have are, are major retailers are running out of products. a lot of this is because of policies adopted by our government that are making it harder to do business and to
7:10 am
get things done. ah, i understand the corona virus is a serious issue. i personally chose to get the vaccine, but i am a guest. these policies that the government is imposing, that is making the situation even worse. we should not destroy our economy and take away our freedoms because of a virus. the u. s. house intelligence committee is looking into an alleged cia plot from back in 2017, to kidnap wiki leaks founder julian sanchez. the story published by yahoo news last month claims former c. i a director mike, palm pale, pushed for a highly aggressive measures against the whistleblower organization. including but not limited to the abduction of assange. now the aerial man hunt and shootout with russian spies and central london, the new james bond movie. not exactly. in fact, these are the highlights from a reported cia secret plan will silence the journalist, saudi,
7:11 am
who revealed americans for dirty secrets. location london, the year 2017 starring julian, a sorry, a man of interest. hiding yet the dog embassy. my campaign, then c. i achieve that evil mastermind behind the operation. the russkies. the essential ingredient for any good spice dory. doubtless. ja. great. every possible law to silence independent journalist. stay tuned. the upcoming details may surprise you. we are recording chapter one. the fascination my compared wanted the cia to be creates instructor subordinates not to self sense of themselves. when it comes to dealing wiki links. sometimes, oh tricks work best they might have thought and came up with a good old assassination plot. detailed sketches options on how to murder a sound,
7:12 am
reportedly with disgust in the whiteness of the finest possible level. why would a cia chief plots of the killing of an independent journalist? well, it was an act of personal vendetta. back in march 2017, the newly appointed cia chief found himself in a very difficult position. when wikileaks released top secret cia papers, they were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about vault 7. they were seen blood chapter to kidnapping. but somebody in the white house might have thought paid, no killings where a civilized nation. let's kidnap this journalist and sentence him to death by american law. the plan was simply break into the embassy drag hassan down and bring him to where we want one small issue. the u. s. justice department failed to keep up with cia fantasies. they were still processing the case and didn't filed charges
7:13 am
against the wikileaks found him. so the cia was going to kidnap a foreign citizen from the capital washington's closest ally with no legal basis tool. a perfect master plan deed do could possibly spoil the fun russians. of course, chapter 3, fighting russians. what if vladimir putin intelligence gets there, 1st of dumps a sound and then flies him to moscow? that's a possibility. the paranoid ca offices thought brace yourself, the plans accounts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left, nothing to chance bisons gets into the car with the russian operatives. a cia initiates a car crash with a russian diplomatic vehicle. god knows how many other londoners collateral damage is. they say assange gets on the plane. the cia blocks it on the runway by shooting its tires, as well as anything and anybody else's way the plane take self with
7:14 am
a flat tire. the cia hub is a helicopter over. it still manages to leave the ground. they demand that the european countries close their recipes. we are still talking about catching julian assange, not the number one terrorist. oh well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government's path, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. rule of law may not look like you probably get more on the story. we're going to discuss this live with geopolitical analyst and editor at the 21st century wire. patrick hennington. patrick, thanks lot for joining us on the program. the 1st thing i want to ask you is how do you think that this investigation is going to affect the assange extradition case? that depends. that depends exactly what's there. and the providence of this story
7:15 am
is still media reporting. michael is a cough is involved. he's one of the journalists who helped launch the steel dossier as it were, at least point to it, though he walked it back later. so, but in terms of adam ships involvement, adam shift coming forward in last few days saying that he's looking for this information. now, i really doubt, i really doubt that this has anything to do with defending the free press or human rights from the democratic parties perspective. i think there are partisan, there's definitely parts and motives here. julie sanchez case could benefit from it, however, but i'm going to say that more than likely these are political games that are related, i think, to the run up to the next presidential election. yeah, i wanted to ask you specifically how this might be connected to trump. you mentioned the next presidential election. do you think it's going to have some bearing on a potential, you know, trump hinted he may be running?
7:16 am
do you think it could have a bearing on that? yes, absolutely. and most specifically, with regards to mike pompeiian, so a lot of these assassination options that were supposedly referred to by the sources in the, in the original article. they're from yahoo news mike, palm paid features heavily in this. this is supposedly, as a reaction to the volt 7 releases all pop pump. hey i was going a major p r. make over image make over. he's lost the way he's gone. blonde. he's clearly been groomed. for the 2024 election as a candidate and would likely be parlayed into a vice presidential slot either for president trump or rhonda santas, whichever g o p candidate is selected as the nominee. so adam shift has a very spotty record. the democrats still regard julian sanchez, the major scape goat for giving the trump upset against hillary clinton,
7:17 am
2016 with the protest emails and so forth. so i really think this has to be in election piece or political piece, and this will, this will be a slow burn. you'll be able to dangle this. the press will be able to dangle this over. the, the, the republican runners. it'll be maybe even used in the mid terms as well, to sort of solely that side of things. not to say that this didn't happen or this. but you do have to look at this is the classic anonymous sources. it could be proved in a court of law. that's probably not going to happen. i can't see that kind of national security disclosure being done, even if it's been going to be used to derail the a tramp or a trump campaign ticket, for instance. well, thing on the subject of the former ca director mike, palm pay. oh, how do you think the intelligence community is going to react to this investigation? you know, personally, looking at the journalists involved in how this story was kind of drifted out in
7:18 am
september. i think this was very much a strategic league. it's probably partisan and any of trump's, the 30 former national security adviser sorted it could be vendor alexander of in man fiona hill or any of this gaggle of people who testified during the impeachment trials. so i think the in terms intelligence community, they're going to button up and leak things strategically or sort of pretend to be neutral on this. there's enough within the hiring of the security for m u. c global, for instance, to spy on sanchez, legal team. and all of this sort of games they're playing while he was in the ecuador, an embassy that should be enough to basically have his case dismissed. and they should drop extradition proceedings because it clearly this is the state actor involved in here in sort of influencing the legal process. so the fact that that
7:19 am
wasn't enough previously to have this whole persecution of julia signs and wiki leagues to be dropped for what it really is, which is really just can a completely politically motivated and vindictive effort by the u. s. and by britain as well, who's keeping him on ice conveniently for an extended period of time? he's not charged. so he's still in the category a maximum security prison. he's not convicted of anything. he's literally there and should be out. he shouldn't least be going to keep him for execution. if you could put an ankle bracelet on him, have him in residence, be with his family. what they're doing is cruel and unusual to to put it lightly, but the fact that it wasn't dismissed already. she says to me that this could be a lot of political theatre, this latest episode. geopolitical analyst and editor 21st century wire, patrick kennings and thanks for joining us. thank you. devoid of content.
7:20 am
that's how moscow has described the west's response to the russian inquiry into the alleged poisoning of opposition figure alexander volney. earlier this month, a group of $45.00 o. p. c. w. member states formerly, formerly put questions to russia regarding the case on scott replied, then sent a counter request to the 4 countries that had made the poisoning allegations. that's the u. k. france, germany, and suite it. but as we hear already, there was no concrete response to that. a little background to all this alex seen of all me, fell ill during a domestic flight in russia in august of last year and was treated at a hospital in siberia. it was been transferred to berlin and russian officials have not found any evidence to support the west theory that he had been poisoned with a nerve agent. but to get more on that now we're going to go live to russia's representative to the p. c. w. alexander should get alexander children. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. let's start with what you said about the west
7:21 am
. responds to the russian inquiry and spend of all the case. you said it's empty and devoid of content. can you break that down for us? the good afternoon, i am happy to be with you. it is a great honor for me to answer a question. here is what i can say to begin with in western countries have not answered all the questions that we have them named admitted to some of them and they did not respond to some of them at the same time. there were also questions that were actually answers. they did provide us some answers. in our opinion, the answers are devoid of any content. let me just give you examples. we asked them who was this mysterious person on the
7:22 am
evacuation flight, who accompanied me on the flight from home to berlin? and the answer from germany was that the evacuation flight was leased by a private company and the government of the german government or other agencies did not have any representatives on board. did it? so we can hardly believe what the government did not have a list of full people on board. so they seem to be concealing something not only from us, but also from the german. we parliamentarians, we asked the bridge between what was the role of for miss tiffany, who is a british subject now who and protected by british particular services. and the
7:23 am
answer that we got from the u. k. but the role of miss has been documented in the number of all these anti corruption investigations. and the same applies to all the questions about the chemical formula of the toxic agent that was allegedly discovered in the biological sample. and the bought where the think of friends with traces off a chemical agent. so this is what we have and this is why we say that these answers are devoid of hanging on. why do you think these countries failed to answer rushes request? well, no more. but we believe that the western countries lead by the united states have kind of curious to shift the blame on the russian
7:24 am
federation, dave active and coordinated manner and consult each other. and with this, by the way, they responded to our inquiry. they did it at the same time they sent in their answers at the same time, which means this was a coordinated initial. so we asked them easy questions. and it seems afraid that they get to say something that they were not supposed to say. and that could answer the questions of their version of the implication of russia in the case in the russian state. but not only did they fail, you answer our questions, but they have been for feeling can have it them. we also ask them about the bottle,
7:25 am
at least in famous bottle time admission jobs, where remember these september days in 2020, when the representatives of the federal government and all of a sudden said that this basel, that somehow arrived in germany, came the traces of a chemical agent of similar to that, that was discovered in the body of the russian logger ship. they said this only once, but after that they did everything. not to mention this not to raise the issue once again. so what did they say? no, i knew they said that having a lot of things it does not mean that you can get to the bottom of the case. sounds good with this. listen, this is not a real model. any criminal investigator, any expert and forensic evidence, who knows his job to tell you how can you work without evidence. but this is what
7:26 am
we have regarding the answers we got from western countries. while earlier in an interview with russian media, you said that the p. c. w is concealing crucial information in nevada case, what kind of information were you referencing there? the 1st i'm referring to conceal from us or the formula, the chemical agent that was allegedly discovered by the wind, us for doctors and then experts in france in sweden and as was confirmed by an obese w, a certified laboratory. and they said that they wanted to kind of feel this formula so that no one could learn what the formula is. but you can
7:27 am
communicate it to us by other channels, not necessarily publicly, but they told us that they are unable to do that because the person that home, right, who reportedly is that germany and germany refer you to the technical secretary. so deal with the secretary. so this is a very tricky situation and they are also saying of the chemical agent that was developed in deborah federation. the 2nd point was that you made an if you is the o, p c, w, and technical secretariat. but the other have a strict procedure for the linguistic physical evidence. so that chain of custody for making sure that this evidence is safe on every page and
7:28 am
working with this a physical evidence. so there is a protocol, there is a filming photo and video evidence that is provided as a page par gauge to the wi fi out to the technical secretary at a very straightforward question. could you please provide a photo and video footage? i will show how the creature obese w, expert work with the evidence, how they collected the samples from the russian blogger to be doing much as well as photo and video footage dealer from the procedure when the samples were separated in the hey, you for they were sent to obviously w certified labs, 2 to 3 months have gone by and there is no answer from the technical,
7:29 am
secular terrorist. they did try to provide some kind of response, but it was totally meaningless at this time. so they're continuing to kind of things with the absence of this evidence. proving that all the necessary procedures were complied with. it could have reaching concrete with all the conclusions that were made regarding all the case could be invalid. and it is important to note one more thing the russian federation system asked the technical secretary for assistance in order to get to the bottom of this case. we propose holding a joint investigation where the russian x u. c. w expert using the equipment that was
7:30 am
used and they obviously w a laboratory for conducting this test. and this joint research was designed as we propose did you determine when, under what circumstances you would have been just outside of the russian federation, the russian logger was found to have a talk agents in his body. what's happening to me, let's call things as they are. so after that, the area you railed assist, provision under the pretext now saying that there was no precedent for that. so since there is no precedent, they cannot provide us with the assistance. and what this tells us is that only the countries i've mentioned that coordinate.
