Thanks for joining us here on t. V. And to. A Court Hearing is jus to begin in moscow. The russian authorities will not look into claims alexina valley was poisoned the cases being brought by the opposition figures Corruption Foundation of the remains in berlin in a coma lets go live to a correspondent outside the courthouse in central moscow good morning dont take us through this legal case please. Good morning neal well right behind me is the Court Hearing just started regarding the legal complaint. Legal team filed against the russian government just a few days ago it was filed after their request for a criminal investigation into the alleged poisoning. Left on answered back in late august when he was poisoned when he was allegedly poisoned but since. Sent in for review when the police are actually engaged in a long investigation to understand what exactly happened there preliminary investigation into the video footage and interviews at the cafe were involved he was drinking his allegedly poisoned morning tea is still ongoing over 20 a forensic investigations are currently underway 3 of which are have already been completed and the prosecutor general says that theres still no evidence that someone actually tried to poison the Opposition Leader something that needs to be found before a criminal case can be can begin meanwhile the russian doctors who initially treated the Opposition Leader are sticking to their initial diagnosis saying that no toxins were found in his system. Triggs them and alex in the phone these biological fluids the study was carried out with an american aspect which contains 240000. 00 standard sets of substances that correspond to the electronic database in the Us National Institute of standards and technology no liquids organic compounds would drugs that inhibit colon mysteries were detected and no traces of other unknown substances were found. Now with the kremlins cooperation of all he was transported to a german hospital not long after the russian doctors gave their diagnosis but after he got there german doctors said that they did find evidence of toxins in his system now russian the russian medics and the prosecutor general theyve already asked for the evidence several times to verify this claim and never the last. Has been declared as in many places in the west as the culprit for this but the kremlin is right now asking for answers. None of the tests biological samples taken by specialists showed any sign of poisonous substances but says it m m big detected a toxic agent moreover they say that it is a military nerve agent if that is true and it is essential that our investigators know precisely whats in the german colleagues have established. Now moscows investigation will continue as it awaits the findings from the german doctors and hopefully once they come to the surface theyll aid in the investigation of these dont quote reporting from live outside that moscow courthouse thank you. Well after germanys claims regarding nova chocked the worlds eyes of course on brush it with nato arranging a meeting this friday to discuss the case and the e. U. Considering new sanctions against moscow while option is to suspend cooperation with moscow on a major gas pipeline project namely strain to some german politicians though say that its too soon to talk about sanctions. York for me the question is who is really responsible for this poison attack everything points to moscow and the whole west is pointing the finger at putin i think its a bit more complex than that and the speed with which questions regarding north stream to have come up the speed with which sanctions have been called for even though it hasnt been established whether the russian state is actually behind this whether it was criminals none of this has been made clear thats in my name or patiently as we move away from coal well need more gas in the foreseeable future during the transition and we need to ask where will we get this gas from. In the meantime the Mainstream Media are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition politician though they seem preoccupied with just one version of events as mad as the of explains. 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with i condemn this in strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire German Government there are very serious questions now that only the russian government can answer and must note that she didnt accuse russia of anything but within 24 hours everyone with a keyboard had somehow become an investigative journalist slash toxicologist slash Foreign Policy expert take build for example a german tabloid that specializes in yellow journalism and bashing russia build out did everyone they managed to mistranslate a russian official make up a Conspiracy Theory that russia was blaming germany for poor isnt in the volley and beeston everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian nord stream to pipeline there are there is a very strong anti russian the west which particularly specifically wants to sabotage. The gas pipeline of whats basically to prevent any reports between russia and the e. U. Or particularly Close Association between russia and germany there is an agenda of course america wants to step in and sell its natural gas. To to. Europe instead of the russians so theres a lot of money theres a class war going on a lot of money is all at stake spiegel another german magazine has proposed tearing up german russian relations big student well apparently they have irrefutable proof that putin was behind this insane poisoning they were showing through to their readers so well just have to trust them now is the times of the mind in the kremlin the german author. Richies of showing the alexina found he was not drunk or diabetic as the kremlin cynical spin doctors wanted the world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxins cynical spin doctors insidious neurotoxin and obviously aggravated by us. Again a force 1st compounds are highly toxic substances and as a rule its impossible to use them just to poison a Single Person if there had been any interaction with the substance on the eve of the flight or during the flight then any accompanying persons was certain to have shown symptoms of poisoning that did not happen passions are high a lot of confusion about this is the best time to take advantage of people if youre a build pundit and you have no idea how a neuro talks and works or what happened to the volley and you still want clicks well now is the time to write righteous and warlike articles to try and appear knowledgeable while the you know the professionals and the experts a busy and quiet trying to figure out whats happened there is another version that you might like one popular theory is that the crime line spooked by the protests into west embarrass into the east. Wanted mr nirvana out of the way to prevent him from mobilizing discontent closer to mr putin and upsetting his plans for parliamentary elections next year after years of not winning elections after years of stagnant support somehow now novelli has become a danger i was in the kremlin spooked after the revolution in ukraine why didnt they try to remove him then and it doesnt explain use it in new york which is the Nuclear Option even in the world of nerve agents sending the volleys to germany where he could get tested for a new truck and russia would get sanction whats happened is just falling short of saying well. Did it say you know russian authorities must questions about this etc etc it seems that theyve already discounted the idea that there could be other explanations for fault for what happened if the line is being pushed into being heard in all of the western media that of course it was the kremlin response then why if he had been shot why then was the consent given for him to go to germany because if he had all the trouble and of course the killers would find that out so something doesnt quite add up does it really but you know many fantastic versions going around you can pick whichever suits you best put his reluctance to say the word novel now cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom other characters do not name now i think has also been banned from his own state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in a negative light so putins apparent reluctance to talk about the film who isnt a politician wasnt elected to anything is somehow in direct proof that putin wanted him dead hell i dont remember putin ever talking about me could butin really want me dead as well by the way neville me being banned in state television is a lie he refuses to appear on state television has even declined to appear in a nazi when we asked him weve got out a video we have Video Evidence of the guardian lie at the end of the day whats the point there is a jar and educate him that these people existed its full of profit oriented journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to you into clicking on an ad filled article they feed on your attention. Coronaviruses flaring up in and around europe france has clocked up 7000 new infections for the 2nd day in a row while in neighboring spain the daily rates now almost 9000 and just outside the e. U. Turkeys authorities are now admitting that things are getting bad again our correspondent charlotte do ski reports. Well e. U. Officials are warning that the rate of transmission the test so positive cases of 19 is now at a level that is almost equivalent to what it was back in march that was when many countries started imposing those severe restrictions which led to lock downs across europe in france this week we saw more than 7000. 00 cases being registered in just 24 hours now much of that of course could be put down to the fact that there is widespread testing taking place across france and weve been told that some 50 percent of those who are testing positive for cocaine 19 are showing little to no symptoms but what Health Authorities are concerned about here is the fact that in recent days there has been an increase in the number of people who tested positive for dine who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care lie as has been sleeping or were just Summer Vacation and there is something that we see now we are all stacked to the number actually have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try and curb this rate of transmission including here in paris where we now have to wear masks in all streets across the capital and theres been talk that there could be closures of bars and localized lockdowns it seems nothing is essentially being ruled out at the moment although the measures in terms of mass dont yet seem to be producing any concrete results now spain and germany have also seen some of the highest cases they have recorded since the spring time and thats also been significant numbers of cases appearing in parts of the u. K. In the north of england for example where there are already tighter restrictions in place with household still not able to mix in certain parts of the north theyre seeing a very large rate of transmission. Of 19 meanwhile in turkey the Health Minister there has been talking about this 2nd wave hes been saying that the cases are going up and up every day and he says he knows whos to blame. Were experiencing this 2nd peak of the 1st wave our mobility and curiosity as a wedding send holidays which are important parts of our customs and traditions have brought us to this point well the turkish Health Minister also outlined the impact that 19 years had on Health Workers saying that now more than 50 Health Workers said to have died after contract ing the virus now some countries are turning back again to quarantine measures to try and stem the rates of transmissions for example in the u. K. Though quarantine there are causing a little bit of a headache for holiday makers and for travel Industry Experts and thats because the 4 nations of the u. K. Dont seem to have a consensus on where they want to impose those quarantine measures so for example if you live in england or Northern Ireland you can still holiday to countries such as portugal greece but if you will live in wales or scotland if you go to those countries you will now have to quarantine on your return theres so much criticism of this saying that its causing a complete nightmare for holiday workers for holiday makers as well and its confusing and causing anxiety consumers are totally confused by the different approaches and its impossible to understand the governments own criteria anymore on when to add or remove a country meanwhile other countries are talking about shutting their borders hungary is already done that to anybody whos not a normal resident the reality is though the Economic Issues stem form the 1st lockdown still impacting countries across europe so any further measures to tighten movement to add quarantines or lock downs is only going to to the very already very deep woes of these european countries. The spoke to mohammed veneer of viral is just a lancastrian diversity he says spotting new outbreaks in a timely manner is the best way to fight the virus things well test human at this moment with the increased number of cases is that how quickly we can identify these small d clusters that are emerging mainly indoors d in top restaurants and indoor gathering and quickly we had to fight these one battle we were of d to allowed not allowing them to merge into an uncontrollable outbreak 95 Percent People did to follow all the regulations put in place and 5 percent dont follow and those 5 percent and you produced the effort made by the rest of 95 i think the emphasis should be and has to be around controlling this interaction before its a proud to the d level of the Community Spread is common and the number of infection or to go significantly higher and the capacity in the ospital or start to bulk up again. The russia meddling alarm is being raised again after the Us Department of Homeland Security council they report ahead of the 2020 election that story in full in a moment. To. Thank. You. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Its election season in america russian meddling claims are running wild in u. S. Media. In the scene is learning that a warning about russian dirty tricks was polled 2 days before it was set to go out to Law Enforcement dirty tricks oh no what is russia doing this time russian malign influence sachs is likely to continue denigrating president ial candidates through allegations of poor mental or physical health to influence the outcome of the 2020 election gee doesnt that sound an awful lot like what American Media has been doing for the past several months there are some questions this morning about president Trumps Health the question of bidens Mental Health while will continue to be analyzed by the media frankly it is even hard to watch the confusion the inability to finish thoughts the never ending daily gas these speculations come out of thin air or perhaps out of bidens mouth we tried it on in iraq is not working for an hour to try to meet in iran and heres me we tried in ukraine covert is taken this year just said the outbreak has taken more than 100 year look heres the lives its just its if we think about it i am very willing to lead to American Public judge my physical mental fell my physical as well as my Mental Fitness some American Media outlets have even suggested joe biden may not be able to finish out his 4 year term the main advocate of the idea that joe biden may be quote not all there seems to be u. S. President donald trump he has suggested that biden take cognitive tests on multiple occasions i think is the weakest mentally i like running to get people that are weak badly i think joe is the weakest up here a certain way joe biden has an obligation to take a test now donald trump self has also been in the media spotlight with rumors circulating that trunk had a mini stroke now his doctor denies this as does the president now one has to admit that the president of the United States does not always sound like the most stay. Genius i hope they now go and take a look at the oranges the arms as of the. Investigation of the beginnings 1870000 tested 8 so thats 1000000 870000 1000000 tests think of that 1870000 tests now travel biden have both set records trump is the oldest person to ever been elected president and if joe biden just seats in this November Biden will be that record as well now it doesnt exactly take a vast russian conspiracy just speculate that perhaps all the age is taking its toll on either guy it with martin r. T. New york. And us court has ruled that the National Security agency broke the law with its must harvesting of americans phone records the schemers exposed by n. S. A. Whistleblower Edward Snowden and hes welcome the ruling 7 years ago as the news declared i was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth i never imagined that i would live to see our courts condemned the National Security agencys activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them back in june of 2013 snowden who worked as a contractor for the Intelligence Agency released thousands of classified documents the shine a light on the n. S. A. s dragnet surveillance practices targeting millions of americans as well as foreign citizens snowden was charged with espionage and he fled eventually being granted asylum in russia. After the phone surveillance scheme was uncovered it continued to run until 2015 fishes claimed it was helpful intercepting terrorist communications they cited the case of 4 men who were caught funding extremists in somalia and convicted the court of appeals for the 9th circuit ruled that the program played only a minor role in the case and that it was a violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act former cia officer ray mcgovern believes despite the ruling its likely no officials will actually be held to account. It takes our courts several years often to to catch up with illegal activities and finally here after how many years now theyve said oh yeah yeah its illegal at least people and were talking about big fish ok and are they proceeded with the feeling that they were immune to being held accountable for violating the law and the constitution and i hope theyll be proven wrong but i suspect that this will wither away and no one no one important will be held accountable for this grievous grievous violation of what in our country was the 4th amendment which prohibits explicitly this kind of thing. The u. K. Is looking to update its official secrets act the Law Commission advise that advises the government says that there need to be tougher sentences for those who leak data and there are plenty of other changes on the way to skittle or breaks it down. Drops to create said Double Agents the cold war might be over but espionage is still plotting in the sand and to keep that state secrets close to its chest do you say is looking into amending its official secrets act partly because some of the language could do with being brought into the 21st century data not secrets for example but with a whiff of deja vu also to defend itself against the red menace the urgency of this reform was most recently and extensively articulated in the reports on russia of the intelligence and Security Committee of parliament which was laid before parliament on the 21st of july 2020 the notoriously where a lot of us Russian Hackers and madness pushed london to increase the act which hasnt seen a single tape since 989. 00 despite the Prime Minister himself boasting just how vigilant he is to present bugs and saying that not getting what you want doesnt actually make russia guilty this is about pressure from the is going to remain who seized on this on this report i did try to give the impression that the russian the russian interference to somehow responsible for this is because thats what this is this is about the people of this took this country didnt vote to leave the e. U. Because of pressure from russia the russian interfered but it appears that no commission disagreed and pushed forward with its proposed changes starting with the beginning of the very wide and me having identified deficiencies with the term enemy we suggested that the definition of foreign power as adopted by the United States espionage statutes modernization bill might provide a more suitable basis for a modern espionage offense so who or what qualifies as a foreign power well really anything any company any entity any past and directed controlled by a Foreign Government though how or how far they must be directed isnt specific. I according to this vague definition that charities even partially funded by Foreign Governments could be enemies who are way would be an enemy and if they want already anyone whos ever been to russia or even was walked along the private walls but the local Commission Wants to widen the net even further the territorial am bits of the offenses should be expanded so that they can be committed irrespective of the individuals nationality the test should be whether there is a significant link between the individuals behavior and the interests of the United Kingdom so one of the official secrets act as it exists now if youre not a British National and you do something hostile to the u. K. While out of the country it doesnt count but thats up for negotiation now and if that doesnt change by means that someone like Julian Assange anja for example of a Foreign National i mean revelations according to the u. K. Threaten the countrys National Security could find himself in the an enemy as would anyone who passes on classified information are brought even though many argue that such leaks are in the interests of the public not hostile to them but perhaps most sinister of all the u. K. Parliament wouldnt even need to justify its decisions we recommend that the offenses that carney recross the proof of damage should no longer do so this avoids the difficulties inherent in proving damage without disclosing further confidential information in other words the very thing that makes the government accountable to the public to the people who elected it is unnecessary or part of it has to do is so that the person was sufficiently culpable so if you are not killed youre rather someone still is up guilty youve done it no proof necessary just so long as its highly unlikely with such changes on the table one could ask how much safer when id really be. Ok brother to date i will return with updates on our top stories in just over 30 minutes time. If. You just have to fly between 2 kinds of low and as fast as you can. Go much of the produce which the bush or the. Person rather. Than. The engine restores impersonal says the. Russians in racing is competition in the extreme whoever follows the specified routes between the lines with the fastest time just to be. There is no. Law school should be there really for you to. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. Be any dramatic developments only mostly and. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very. Time to sit down and talk. Throughout its history with the selfproclaimed Islamic State terrorist group of recruited up to 30000 foreigners from all over the world to fight for them. What if. Thousands of russian citizens left their country to join the terrorists often bringing wives and children with them. When he was last year when the bell ideas imposed on you will be to use the new mother as a new could no. More new to the moon hundreds of children and widows were held captive all disappeared.
