For joining us here on r. T. Internet. Moscow is again urging berlin to Exchange Information about the alleged poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexina valley adding that it has nothing to hide. International pressure mounts on russia over the case the us president of trump though says he hasnt seen any proof of the poisoning claims i dont know exactly what happened i think its its tragic its terrible that shouldnt happen we havent had any proof yet but i will take a look there have been International Calls for transparency from russia in an investigation into what happened to alexina valmy the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has said moscow has nothing to hide when it comes to mist in the found me he says russia is still waiting though for requests for information to be answered. We have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide the soon is aleksey new found he fell ill the plane was grounded and this is. He measures rumi julie taken this soon as he was transported to germany those who were demanding information from russia went silent and did not demand anything from berlin this is all following the same old scenario we hear public accusations against russia in the fischel requests to berlin from a Prosecutors Office have so far gone unanswered and we were promised today that we would soon receive response as soon as we get the facts we will react accordingly this is all reminiscent of what happened with this group poles near to or secretary general again stoltenberg has his mind made up though he says International Action needs to be taken however he stopped short of saying what form that should take we strongly believe that this is a blatant violation of International Law so it requires an International Response. But i will not speculate about exactly what kind of International Response were seeing at the moment is warnings and demands flying backwards and forwards the french and German Foreign ministers issued a joint statement on friday evening in which they call a dent an attack against mr novelli weve also heard from the German Federal president. He said being a volley case has the potential to cause real problems in the relationship between in moscow and in vienna weve seen moscows representative summoned to the Foreign Ministry to discuss the novelli case i consider the demands russia conduct a quick open and comprehensive investigation in appropriate in the absence of any information facts or specific data from germany or any response to the russian prosecutor generals request made on the 27th of august. Its over a week since moscow requested information from lynn regarding the tests that were carried out on alexina volley on friday the German Government confirmed that they had received that request however getting that information over to russia might not be as simple as all out. Had to write the request was forwarded by the minister of justice to the Justice Department in berlin today in the morning as usual we cant comment on any cooperation regards an internal matters of the investigation but does that mean russia has not received anything from the ministry of justice or any other responsible oath already as they have already just sad the federal government has approved their quest for mutual Legal Assistance or speaking in plain language no other information has been given is that right i regenerate what i have just said moscow has requested this information because the tests that were carried out in the russian hospital where lex in the valley was 1st treated showed no trace of any toxin in his system and tests for poisons all came back negative effect to investigative measure ashore being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance from the patients biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open a day jury investigation its 2 weeks since Alexei Navalny has been here in berlin being treated the shot at a hospital physicians say there is no were cute risks to his life at the moment however there is the potential for a long term effects from this illness we heard from Foreign Affairs columnist married to jeff ski who says that no one stands to gain from the alleged poisoning though it does wear in force a negative image of the kremlin. To jump to the conclusion that there is one obvious arts to what happened to divine it its very simplistic because if you look at the the balance of advantage say you know who takes an advantage out of whats happened i think its a huge liability for the kremlin and for russia to be seen to have launched an attack on one of the most colorful and interim ensure members of the opposition that it and that reinforces as weve seen the very negative image of russia in the west i think the relations between the west and specifically europe and russia were starting to warm up after the the freeze over ukraine after 2014. Weve seen i would say a slightly different approach to diplomacy from russia over the last few months now all those things are certainly at risk because of whats happened and because of the way its interpreted which is why i think maybe its much more complicated why would the kremlin do this at this point its only become an International Issue because inevitably was airlifted out to germany and the german doctors made the findings that they did. Notice said well its an International Issue because i could never tell you were such an important figure that this was an attack with a chemical weapon and therefore its subject to International Conventions im not sure that nato is mandated to run or mandate of anybody really outside russia runs to saying what should happen inside russia. Russia is reading for phase 3 of clinical. Trials of its covert 19 vaccine and International Medical journal says that the sputnik v. Drug produced an antibody response in all participants of early testing and that there were no major side effects on his right culture of as more on russias bid to beat corona virus. Back in the 11th of august russia became the 1st country to register a vaccine against 19 now more data became available just last friday that show that sputnik the vaccine pretty successfully produced antibodies in all 76 participants in early stage trials now other trials discovered that all patients not only developed antibodies but also non all of the participants showed any side effects whatsoever now a study was also published in the lancet which is one of the most respected medical journals in the world and a Russian Direct Investment Fund c. E. O. Says that that study answers many questions that have a listen because it isnt ultimately the Clinical Trial results of the sputnik b. Vaccine published in lancet the worlds leading medical journal sure to brush shes leading the way in developing a group virus vaccine and it answers a lot of questions from western critics specifically the journal report concluded that there were no serious adverse consequences among volunteers or to prevent seen and there was a very strong in time unit response due to the development of the antibodies it found that a vaccinated person produces 1. 00 times more empty bodies do in an average person infected with karuna virus the head of moscows censor thats the center who developed the vaccine says that the antibodies that will remain in the patient for a period of years now some of russias top officials have already been inoculated with this the vaccine people like moscow mayor sergey sabean the like defense minister sergei should go and even have let him of putins own daughter was inoculated as well but that happens much earlier now when speaking to Vladimir Putin moscow mayor said that the only side effect that he experienced was soo our headache and that he is fine and now now this is of course all in contrast very much in contrast with the concerns that. Were voiced earlier that russia is really whoring there is creation of this vaccine in order to be the 1st in the world in the fight against coal with 19 well the way things are now according to the Health Ministry a rush is ready for max vaccination as soon as november or december and so far 3 clinics in moscow have received the vaccine for 3rd stage trials and they are now ready to welcome of volunteers now once the United Nation a process begins here at home russia will be ready to send the vaccine abroad as well so far many foreign governments have already expressed interest in this food and the vaccine and according to officials there are now over when c. Requests for hundreds of millions of doses after the Peer Reviewed study was published the u. S. Secretary of state expressed skepticism might pump accused russia and china of hiring the vaccines to market for political reasons to discuss the russian vaccine on the findings in the lancet journal with Lawrence Young hes a professor of molecular and college in the u. K. I think its a very important step on the way to developing an effective vaccine its a very interesting study like many vaccine studies its still relatively early days but it does demonstrate that the vaccine is safe and it doesnt juice a very good immune response this study published in along by light some very Important Developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different vaccine does that give you an even better response and that is something that this article reports on which i think is a very Important Development but again we have to be slightly cautious because its relatively small numbers and we look forward obviously to seeing more data particularly as this vaccine goes into phase 34. 00 i understand there are going to be Something Like 40000. 00 volunteers vaccinated but were working together as an International Group of immunologists and bar all of us to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in that fight. China will seek to rid itself of a significant amount of the u. S. Debt that it owns thats according to an expert quoted in the state Bank Global Times out that comes amid high tensions between beijing and washington. China will gradually decrease its holdings of u. S. Debt to about 800000000000. 00 under normal circumstances but of course china might sell all of its u. S. Bonds in an extreme case like a military conflict china owns more than a trillion dollars of u. S. Debt only japan has more beijings already been offloading it share dumping over 100000000000. 00 worth in just 2020 alone u. S. Issued debt is forecast to almost equal american g. D. P. This year and exceed it next as levels of debt have been seen since the end of the 2nd world war and a widely regarded as risky. Relations between china and the u. S. Have declined markedly but the trump of ministration initiated a trade war washington targeted Chinese Tech Firm wall way claiming it posed a Security Threat something beijing denied there were also tit for tat crackdowns on chinese and American Media organizations as well as consulate closures we spoke to financial commentator James Rodgers who says that the dollars dominance could be on the way but my expectations are that when in the turmoil the dollar will go higher it will get overpriced it might even turn into a bubble because there are very few alternatives but that will probably be the last shot us is now the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and its getting higher and higher every day im not the only person who knows that and other people will get worried traditionally the us dollar has been the sounders currency in the world where tradition changes once upon a time it was the british pound once upon a time it was the danish crime in the dutch guilder Currency Exchange history changes and im an american so i dont particularly like saying it but im afraid the us dollar is coming to its century or so of dominance and Something Else will replace it.

Welcome back a public war is brewing in the world of sport as the World Antidoping Agency fires a warning shot at the United States says that it could ban americas top athletes from major sporting events if washington follows through on its threat to stop funding wada at morgan has the story. The trouble ministration has a longstanding pattern of taking moves against International Organizations such as the International Criminal court the World Health Organization or the Un Human Rights Council but it appears that one International Organization the World Antidoping Agency is capable of retaliating if the United States takes measures against it we have been approached by a number of governments of the world that were shocked with the threats from the Us Government these governments want us to consider an amendment to the compliance standard meaning that nonpayment by a government thats what a contribution could lead to directly to being declared non compliant with the world anti doping code inevitably this could have serious repercussions for athletes including their participation in Major International sporting events this comes after the june white house drug control policy report which indicates that the United States has taken measures against wada working to defund the organization for years the United States has provided the world and Adoption Agency within the last of taxpayers dollars in annual dues far more than any other nation in the world we do so with an expectation that father will operate in a transparent accountable and independent manner that is above all else fair to athletes they deserve a fair shake and the vote the commitment to govern Team Competition on level Playing Field although these threats were not made publicly weve already heard the u. S. Olympic committee as well as the u. S. Antidoping agency speak up against any proposal. Threatening u. S. Athletes i mean this is one of the most terrible things ive ever seen from wada apparently nonpayment is a serious a systemic doping which is the rule that says this and is it applied to everyone threaten one countrys athletes over what has failed governance model is pretty remarkable and disappointing what is very threatened and rattled but to illegally threaten u. S. Athletes is shameful the u. S. Antidoping agency says these proposals are simply illegal the United States cannot be excluded as an the only country to be locked out simply because of this move to defund sort of piers that the policy of the white house on which they defund International Organizations that dont suit the United States will continue and it appears at this moment retaliation will not be taking place if you want to be a member of this force called already you have to pay to take part he had to swallow it and say this is going to biggest and about us on the planet you know give it to me for free it doesnt happen like. They do have money and wanting to listen to us and you dont get is that they are theyre being caught at it theyre seen as kind of you know in significant and u. S. Forces because remember hes going to do not test the n. F. L. The n. H. L. The n. O. B. Or n. B. A. Or even go to color sports overlooked by d n a i d. And c. Too late so this is a very serious matter and you know what it is if the opening shots being fired didnt expose of course the u. S. Anti doping they have been caught so badly and how to really let himself down by refusing to test athletes during and right after lockdown we saw these amazing already horribly broken and National Records and personal best in broken by athletes who try this tiger said were not training during so maybe dresses dont do well but this is just the opening volley in a very very nasty war.
