Players test positive for coronavirus as the french champions begin their title defense next week. Alexina valmy is the victim of a mad attempt and russia must answer difficult questions thats a message from the German Government which says it has an equivocal proof that the kremlin critic was poisoned with soviet era novacek know the agents the prominent dissidents fell ill on a flight last month 10 days ago he was and lifted from siberia to where doctors say he is in a serious but stable condition doctors who treated him of on the in russia say they found no evidence of poisoning german toxicology tests detected novacek thats the same type of nerve agent that was used to poison former russian spy assegais scribal and his daughter in britain. 2 years ago alexina of only alexina vonnie was a victim of an attack of a chemical nerve agent of the not Regional Group this poison could be identified unequivocal in tests so its clear that alex you know the victim of a crime he was supposed to be silenced and i together with the entire German Government condemn this in the strongest possible terms this is disturbing information about the attempted murder through poisoning against a leading russian opposition figure of well well get reaction from the white house where kimberlys health has just standing by and also from the dame bother hes in london but 1st lets go live to journalist alexander soil of the court for she is in moscow alexandra moscow here perhaps unsurprisingly pushing back on all this. Yes of course its not surprise their response which says on one hand the russia is ready to fully cooperate for an exchange of information and they tend findings which means that it should go both ways that they should be granted access to the findings of that with a round in the in germany the press secretary of russian president a president like him that brought in to me that the soft hearted even gets an official response to their official requests where theyre requiring analysis done on the via me and actually generally everything thats been happening with him the moment he left arms hospital so he said that at this moment he cannot react with competence on this findings and now russian minister of Foreign Affairs has been much harsher calling this way of presenting findings a bullhorn to diplomacy saying that if the goal is to discover what happened with the vine event russia is ready to fully cooperate then that they were saying that from the very beginning and to exchange the findings and they are but they are allowing for the possibility that this is all a way to impose a measures already decided upon that on the russia and in that case that berlin is disregarding official channels and what theyre saying is that the statement that is saw the serious is not supported with facts theyre saying that they are in better than in berlin was not given or presented any effects any findings any results even though he asked for now this reaction is not surprising because we heard it before in previous cases most recently in the case of poisoning of script by insoles very well in terms of sergei the germans are saying that this is from the same family of toxins that was used to poison him back in 2018 does that make it harder for the kremlin to distance itself here. Well yes and no because i mean they already had the similar responses to this clip by boys in england the suspects that were found by Scotland Yard identified as the military Intelligence Officers were here they were they said they are not there just curious that happened to be there this is pointing fingers without evidence they official line is that the evidence were not presented and if i recall correctly in that case as well russia asked for the axis to the findings and was refused so which they later said well you did not show us the evidence we want to call for it we want to discover what happened but you are not cooperating you are using this for politics they say and this is what we are hearing right now also it happened before and it is a sort of repetition of the similar situations in the past and xander. There with the view from moscow thank you very much alexandra well lets now get reaction from the u. K. The other is in london for us the team i imagine this is reviving all those memories from scruples poisoning back in 28 in icy the u. K. Is joining calls by by germany for a really thorough Russian Investigation. Thats right very very very quick to react and Prime Minister Boris Johnson has actually put out a tweet saying the following its outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against alexina valmy weve seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of not the joke in the u. K. The russian government must now explain what happened to mr novell need we will work with International Partners to ensure justice is done so pulling no punches there just like the germans saying we think this is clear what happened it was an attack on Alexei Navalny and referring to the script outpaces your case as you were just hearing. Alexei. Sergei scripts to you were poisoned by novacek in salzburg in southwest england in 2080 they survived but a member of the public called dawn sturgis diy did believe that she was poisoned by the same substance after coming into contact with a container containing the liquid and that caused a huge stink diplomatically at the time as you were just hearing although russia denied any involvement britain identified 2 russians that it says carried out that attack dominic robb britains foreign minister in the last couple of hours has said in a statement the russian government has a clear case to answer it must tell the truth about what happened to mr in the valley and the French Foreign minister john even though he all similarly says i wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the use of this nerve agent and just now were getting a statement in on behalf of the European Union saying that the use of chemical weapons in any circumstances is completely unacceptable breach of International Law and its calling on russia to investigate fully and transparently and deem bother with all that reaction from europe in london for us thank you nadeem well there has also been very swift reaction from the us our White House Correspondent kelly how the trends us now live from washington can be what are you hearing ivan. Now the National Security council of the white house releasing this statement that it is deeply troubled by the findings that have been released calling the poisoning wrap prehensile now the statement goes on to say that russia has used this particular chemical nerve agent in the past and now the United States says it wishes to work with its allies to hold russia responsible what does that look like while the United States says it will follow the evidence it will also seek to restrict funds of russia for its malign activities so the position of the United States coming from this National Security Council Statement is that russian people have the right to express their views without retribution and that includes any use of such an agent now what i can tell you is this is a very strongly worded statement from an administration that at times has been accused of being soft on russia its clear that the United States is not only concerned about this incident but perhaps posturing and toughening up language in advance of the u. S. Election given the fact that there is already evidence russia could interfere with the 2020 vote and is known to have interfered with the vote in 2016 very sensitive subjects that committee how has our White House Correspondent thank you very much candy or no lets dig into this with us or she is a russia expert at Kings College London Department of war studies and she joins us now on skype from london thank you for being with us as weve been hearing that quite the company of course for a full Russian Investigation on these in germany so lets start there where are relations now between balin and oscar. Well its very interesting that the earlier today actually im going to mark and were saying back to stream to pipeline which was there always are a bit of a subject of control of the sea because of american pressure to sort of put an end to that pipeline was actually going to go ahead and that the German Government was going to push ahead with the construction of its part of the pipeline so that relations were not a stranger on other occasions are armed these might really have are im impact overall at least in the short term there is going to be probably some kind of strain and our lot will depend on how the kremlin reacts and what kind of effort is done on the side of moscow to do at least show that theyre ready to find out what actually happened well michael is now saying theyll be consulted asians with the e. U. And nato nato has already condemned just in the last couple of hours here pointing out the navi chalk is considered a chemical weapon prohibited under International Law others are doing the same how could this affect russia and the region given that the blocks are now getting involved. Yes i mean it is it is a real problem the question of the use of chemical weapons is an issue very much of concern among military circles in europe this is iraq. Substance that is bound by the Chemical Weapons Convention and every time there is use of these kind of agents it creates concern that it could be used again and also that there could be some really kids from institutes or institutions out to have these kind of of of agents of corys and so you know was creates concern among the military establishments in the west if these kind of much areas are used are not only if there is intention of usage but also if there is a lack of proper monitoring of the institutions that have these substances stalled in the middle of one of the differences between what we saw with cripple and souls were in 2018 in this incident with novelli is that this one took place essentially on russian soil does does that change anything. It does change it in terms of this is not seen as a sort of a direct attack in in a western on western territory which is also seen as an attack on potentially a western oh a citizen or a citizen trying to get asylum in the west so this is seen kind be seen more of us are defining china not fair in russia but to us with no question countries are very concerned about events my strickly in russia that there are always efforts to try to sort of build bridges to negotiate for example strategic ons negotiations which are going on in vietnam their efforts to resolve for example the conflict in the dawn on us and these kind of events you know they sort of im dont mind the confidence im that russia is not in full song kind of agreement on issues which are of interest also to the west so they havent come. On a variety of questions including of course being the rules i mean the west is trying in some way to work somehow together with a rush to resolve a. Quandary without that you so foals when these events take place they really undermined their will see billy g. Of considering russia a sort of a reliable partner of the west and in Public Opinion sort of. Opinion Decision Makers also you know become very very mad worried that this is sort of not their bright line of engagement with russia and that coal is interesting only within you know members of the media in germany calling for a much tougher line on the kremlin experts were quiet in the questions here theyre calling for a stronger sanctions arms.

When our council as a mayor has stressed the need for a fair resolution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict through the pursuit of a 2 state solution shakman been hamada thought he hosted president some Senior Adviser jared questioner on wednesday christmas made a stop in castle during his tour of the middle east while hes looking to gain the support of more arab nations after he announced the u. S. Brokered deal to normalize relations between the u. A. E. And israel its yet to be formalized but palestinians have denounced that deal saying it betrays their rights on monday the white house advisor arrived in the u. A. E.

A lot of reason why this hasnt been resolved for decades is because people get caught in slogans and theres a lot of politics involved what President Trump did is hes the 1st leader to put a team on it and then very carefully go through all of the details in order to put out a program sweeping released a proposal called President Trumps vision for peace which is 180. 00 page proposal israel said in their proposal they would negotiate on the basis of it that outlined a map which had never happened before the palestinians had always said if israel will greet to a map will Everything Else will be easy so it outlined the map it outlined a security regime theyll keep palestinians and israelis safe and outlined a way to reform the economy and it did a lot of other things as well so that offers on the table the palestinian leadership rejected it before it even was published and they knew what was in it so hopefully as tensions come down people will look at whats best for the Palestinian People whats best for the region in the move forward and thats why again this trip was so his store because instead of focusing on all the negativity that people have focused on for a long time and reciting the same talking points that are tired or you know being in the same happened sort of the same dead ends leaders rose above these these these traps and they found a way to move forward and thats why people in this region should be hopeful its very easy to find ways to be content to condemn to a bad past but we need our visionary leaders now who can find a way to articulate and create a much more brighter and hopeful future a video of an israeli soldier that needling on a palestinian activist has provoked anger online and also drawn comparisons to the killing of george floyd by police in the United States soldiers say they were provoked but palestinians say its part of a wider passion of aggression the need to abraham reports from the occupied west bank.

I did hamad fears losing his land to the Industrial Park israel plans on building here 2 weeks ago israeli bulldozers started making way for a bypass. I have been farming the stand for the past 20 years my 90 year old father has been taking care of it before me its our land which logic says that now they want us out of it because its a straight line. Not only do illegal israeli settlements and that infrastructure isolate palestinian communities palestinians say that the Israeli Government is ensuring that settlements in the occupied territory are fully connected with one another and israel the u. N. Says the sutler attacks against palestinians are increasing and palestinian Officials Say that the Israeli Government has been speeding up document Construction Since the beginning of the year and to learn to read.

Men have opened fire on a crowd gathered at a Memorial Service in the mexican city of killing at least 6 people it came just hours after mexican president under arrest manual obrador admitted that murders and extortion by gangs had increased since he took office well thats now speak correspondent Daniel Apollo he joins us live from mexico city a massacre at a funeral what happened. Details are Still Limited on exactly what happened what the motives were in this instance in question of aka but it is Important Note that its not an isolated incident this is something thats the state unfortunately has seen repeated since may and on august 14th 6 men were killed when drinking on the street what we know about this incident in particular is that as of today as of wednesday 9 people are confirmed dead there are still several others that are wounded after a gunman opened fire at this funeral that was being held for a young man that had previously died in a motorcycle accident now there are a couple of important things to note the 1st of which is that this part of the country is. Is known to have a lot of Cartel Activity including activity from the highly skilled new Generation Cartel which is gained a lot of newer notoriety recently but this also happened just after president of the discipline to elope is what i thought had given his his state of the nation speech where he touted gains being made in terms of curbing back violence and curbing in curbing Violent Crime in the nation so people have been quick to point out that irony man im wondering we keep seeing matter right records broken and mexico whats driving that as the coronavirus pandemic played into any of this at all. So last year for example 21000. 00 was the most murderous year since records began and in mexico the total but in all of 2001000 was 35588. 00 homicides and if you look at the data so far into in 2020 between january and july of this years been almost 18000 recorded homicides with 11 states saying that theyve seen an increase in violence compared to the same time period last year and were seeing instances of cartels entering parts of the country that they werent operating in before instances of cartels challenging the authority of Government Security forces so the short answer to the question of insecurity in mexico unfortunately despite the pen demick which is one thing that many people here in the country say is that is the one thing that hasnt been affected by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak the question of insecurity is that it is unfortunately getting worse that for us in the mexican capital thank you very much.
