Watching R T International coming to you straight from moscow 247 welcome to the program this hour. We start this hour with the latest reaction from the kremlin on aleksey it not by any means its spokesperson says moscow fails to understand what prompted berlin to claim that the russian Opposition Leader was poisoned by a nerve agent Dimitri Peskov also revealed that the russian president and german chancellor havent discussed the issue. There are verjee joins me live now from the german capital peter what else have we been hearing from the russian side. Oh. Well moscow isnt happy with the way germany has handled the announcement in saying this to legs again of on the was poisoned using a novacek nerve agent the statement was made before the Russian Ambassador and being called into the Foreign Ministry to discuss it and. Said when he was in that meeting no facts were put forward by the german side the kremlin spokesperson demitted press corps has said that its essential they cant comment on what they havent seen relating to the fact that as far as moscow is concerned berlin still yet to provide anything to back up their claims that selects in the valley was poisoned in this way the Foreign Ministry spokesperson in moscow though its been accusing burley in germany of megaphone diplomacy. I would be very cautious when talking about any accusations against russia in this case after all there is no valid reason to make any we hope that we will be able to determine what happened and why we are interested in that we want it and we need the information from germany for that. While the kremlin Spokes Person has said that as far as theyre concerned theyre unsure who would benefit from the poisoning of alexina valmy. I cant answer the question of who would benefit from the poisoning i dont think anybody would benefit from it at all. While here in berlin the german chancellor Angela Merkel was it pains to say that she wanted as to what happened the German Foreign minister as well heiko must also backing not up as. Certainly wants to find out what happened to election of ali. And since bush took to the informant soon it is all there is that one of the leading opposition figures in russia has been poisoned as specialized the were 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion that alex enough money was poisoned with a substance from the norwich a group hes the victim for crime someone tried to shut him up they are following a buddhist we demand an investigation into the poisoning of aleksey now while we condemn this boys name and in the near future will hold consultations and how europe can adequately respond to it it will also depend on russias response to the case. Of cheering a press conference german chancellor Angela Merkel pointed out the eyes of the world are on the in the volley case at the moment and thats been seen by the reaction weve had coming in Boris Johnson the u. K. Prime minister described it as outrageous on the line the European Commission president said it was a despicable cowardly act the french Prime Minister calling for a full and. And investigation while from the United States the white houses condemned the the statement from germany the poisoning of lex in the valley and said they have no reason to doubt the statements coming out of germany while joe biden the democratic candidate for president has said its Vladimir Putin the russian president is directly to blame for this and has challenged donald trump on his handling of the of the russia and of lot of me a putin in general weve also heard from Alexander Lukashenko the belorussian president the embattled belorussian president hes come out and said that. Intercepted calls between early in warsaw that claims could prove that the novacek claim is false we are waiting to find out more information on that as we understand that evidence that Alexander Lukashenko has said he has is being transported to moscow so thats the way it looks at the moment theres a lot of reaction coming in we back a little later on were expecting some more reaction from the European Union into how we want to see the investigation go forward or how they want to see the investigation go forward arties peter all of our bringing us that report from berlin thank you. Germanys claims about what happened to not only has seen western politicians demanding sanctions against russia including ones targeting a major joint Energy Project the kremlin however says it sees no reason for sanctions and doesnt view them as appropriate or digs deeper into the allegations being thrown out moscows way. Nuvi choke again they say the north koreas talks and that is heaped infamy on russia over talks a group of toxins by the way with slightly different variations of liquid gas powder one of the deadliest substances known to man rebel solves bre the huge operation launched there hundreds of people in full hazmat gear everyone afraid of exposure and here is apparently exposed to this new variation which by the way can evaporate and become airborne at Room Temperature and hes flying in a jet where he feels sick scores of people crammed together and no one doubts reports feeling the thing including the people he was with if the germans had got clear evidence of nova choco or Something Like being used they should give that information over to the russians and the russians and that didnt happen with scruples on the soles and i doubt whether or happen again and theres many questions like you know he was on the airplane then he landed why isnt anybody else i mean again another echo of this report case as far as i can see we need some transparency here before we start escalating this into any kind of sanctions trade war or helpers any kind of military conflict there are a lot of questions now speculation and rumors and thinks this is a time to wait to let investigators collect the facts unless you want to use the moment the confusion the hysteria the anger to tear up russian german ties to stop a pipeline for example hold the north stream to pipeline to hold the russians accountable. The obvious murder attempt by the mafia like structures of the kremlin can no longer just worry us it must have real consequences that is why a very clear answer is needed here more 3 mm 2 is nothing that we can promote together with Russia Germany says it will share its lab results and findings with e. U. Nations and get this nato new response to russias offers of Legal Assistance that medical corp russia will learn that the value they have been poisoned not from the German Government but from the news if the aim is to justify some previously prepared response measures that have already been agreed on it becomes clear why theyre deploying megaphone diplomacy substitutes normal corporation with an Information Campaign public appeals to the e. U. And they too and reference to the c. W. Whenever such a thing which started diplomatic reaching the hazards they always have to us. Who is benefiting who does something was benefiting and we have as we have already heard this equation that there are heavy forces would god want a closer relationship between russia and germany is especially according to north korea to project but were also there the that you have to ask what could the russian government benefit of such a thing with this opponent politicians there was no danger for the russian government that it would be an election theyre already talking about sanctions guilty by default which is remarkable given the circumstances so the recent government out of the blue decides to poison an opposition politician who has been after the kremlin for years using one of the worlds deadliest substances which russia has said repeatedly it doesnt have. So they do this improbable and highly stupid thing and these survives it he goes to a russian hospital where the doctors do everything to save his life get him stable and they succeed the russian government which just apparently tried to kill this fellow greenlights a private jet to said him to one of europes best clinics to get help his body apparently for evidence locker treaty banned substances so far that their best version. The trumpet ministration has announced the u. S. Wont participate in a joint global effort to develop and distribute a Coronavirus Vaccine because the World Health Organization is involved at all the white houses decision this july to withdraw from the organization over its handling of the pandemic also allege that the agency is under the sway of china kilmartin looks at the recent developments the United States will not be joining International Efforts to produce jack seen due to political concerns and you see this is yet another blow to Health Diplomacy the United States will continue to engage our International Partners to ensure we defeat this virus but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt will total can is ation and china the global x. Senior should have known as oh that x. Is colead by the World Health Organization 170. 00 Different Countries are participating the goal is to get Global Distribution for several different vaccines after theyve been licensed and approved by the end of 2021 the World Health Organization has repeatedly warned about the dangers of global just unity and need a pandemic warning about the need to oppose vaccine nationalism and above all national unity. And Global Solidarity tea party soon should. This virus thrives when we are divided. When we are united we can defeat to win a successful new vaccine is found there will be greater demand then there is supply excess the mind and competition for supply hes already creating bucks emotionalism and risk of price gouging relations between the United States and the World Health Organization has been strained for quite some time to spite his praise for the organization at the beginning of it and damn it donald trump made. And all the United States out of the global watched are because they have failed to make their requested and greatly needed reforms we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other world wide and deserving urgent Global Public health needs latest decision from the United States to pull out of efforts for a global vaccine have raised a storm of criticism for ologist and politicians have spoken up so that now months round is essentially shooting himself in the foot trumps go it alone strategy has already given us the highest death toll in the world at his inaugural he spoke of american carnage and now seems to term and to make it a reality. America 1st doesnt apply to condemn excess viruses dont observe National Borders if anyone is at risk we all are refusing to cooperate with other countries on vaccines will kill people this latest decision from the United States to pull out local vaccine efforts may be seen as just the latest example of Donald Trumps ambitious america 1st policy however one comes to a situation like this it might not be wise to put pride and politics over your population it would mark them are to new york. Saying with the u. S. Washington has imposed sanctions on senior officials at the International CriminalCourt Secretary of state my pump says the i. C. C. Is corrupt and has no authority the International Criminal court a thoroughly broken and corrupt institution. The United States has never ratified the rome statute that created the court and we will not tolerate is illegitimate have to subject americans to its jurisdiction. Washington is unhappy with the i. C. C. Its current investigation into alleged u. S. War crimes and afghanistan the court is also investigating americas close ally israel over possible crimes related to do your settlements in the west bank and East Jerusalem now that the us nor israel belong to the i. C. C. A court has condemned the sanctions. These coercive acts directed at an International Judicial institution and its Civil Servants around president did and constitute serious attacks against the courts and the rule of law more generally secretary of state compares announcement today marks a stunning perversion of u. S. Sanctions devised to penalize rights abuses and kleptocrats to persecute those tasked with prosecuting International Crimes the trumpet ministration has twisted the sanctions to obstruct justice not only for certain war crimes victims but for atrocity victims anywhere looking to the International Criminal court for justice human rights lawyer dan kadlec says International Law should apply to all countries with no exceptions the u. S. For many decades has taken the position that because it has the mightiest military in the world. It doesnt have to be. Subject to International Law. Its above international and i think trump is just frankly taking that to its logical the United Statess build a pose to the International Criminal or it leashed as to the extent that the i. C. C. Could prosecute western countries. From the very beginning and now trump is sanctioning it because it wants to investigate us war crimes in afghanistan and israeli work crimes in palestine it would be fair for the country to say look us you know whats good for the goose is good for the gander if the International Law doesnt apply to you it doesnt apply to me. Still head tech times google and apple have rolled up a new covert 19 Contact Tracing system a critics say it may compromise privacy among our stories after this break. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation whole community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or a mate in the shallows. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Welcome back the republic of morris just as demanding that japan pay damages of 34000000. 00 it wants the money to support its fishing industry after tons of oil spilled from a japanese ship last month the demand comes after a mass demonstration in the capital of morris over the governments in action and dealing with the crisis protesters called on the islands leader and other top officials to step down locals are furious as the spill and cleanup operation have resulted in iraq rable harm to the islands biodiversity. I am we spoke to journalist all over to tell her says too much time has been wasted already. The japanese government does seem to want to put a line on the incident. Birds. It falls short of taking full responsibility no one has acted. With integrity with urgency there was a precious time window of 12 days between the original accident taking place on the 25th of july and the boat breaking up and releasing oil on the 6th of august and 1 has to wonder why you know why was all that time allowed to pass in some kind of Marine Rescue could have taken place and is only really the local people of the richest people in the fishing communities that have been affected by the oil spill who really seem to have done everything that they possibly could in order to put this damn it right and who deserve the highest praise for what theyve done. Noble and apple have announced a new coded 19 Contact Tracing system what will run on your smartphone the idea is to help users find out when they come into contact with an infected person and the tolls are integrated into the i o. S. An android operating system so theres no need to download an app as the next step in our work with Public Health authorities on exposure notifications were making it easier and faster for them to use the exposure notification system without the need for them to build and maintain an app. Heres how it works the new system called exposure notifications express will work like a notification tool and uses bluetooth signals from smart phones that have opted in if someone test positive for cocaine 1000 pushed out of commissions will be sent out to other phones and forming users that they might have been exposed to the virus however there are fears that the new updates may pose a threat to peoples privacy we asked people what they think sent a good idea again its invading privacy and it its just another form of trying to track. I know you can have all your privacy by you care for other people you know its you know for the benefit of the success of the city youre going to feel like apple and google probably could use it for profit but like in the case of call of it i think you would probably be helpful and i just dont feel comfortable with big brother knowing everything that i do you know thats the thats the 1st step to controlling people you know what weve got to do what youve got to do to get this virus in your control. We spoke about the idea with josh bomb the cofounder of messaging and social Networking Service saif. It is small amounts of data its being transmitted but i think whats more important to focus on here is not the size or thing how to transmit it but the tension for us that exists there and even if you trust your Public Health officials no system is one of my biggest concerns probably more is to transparency when users opt into the service you know what theyre on were during any potential privacy concerns i still have some issues where im not entirely sure this is something thats going to be beneficial essentially what this is doing is increasing the rate at which we can share information and misinformation could potentially be included in that whether or not its intentional and then the other point of it is how reliable are the tests that were using to the game itself well to know that if someones tested positive but if there happens to be i felt just right im not sure its beneficial and this is certainly just spread information around.
