Police and double during the health crisis. Choose evening here in moscow on call in news center with us i was global Headline News 1st for you russian opposition activists alexina valmy could not have survived if he had been poisoned with novacek thats the claim of the russian doctors who 1st treated the high profile criminal chrissake when he fell severely ill 2 weeks ago peter all about the details. The doctors that 1st try to lex in the valley when his plane was forced to make an Emergency Landing with him in clear distress he was making his way from siberia to moscow he didnt make it there the plane landed in a bomb that was way he received treatment 1st theyve dismissed claims from here in germany in berlin where hes currently being treated that he was poisoned using a novacek nerve agent they say that being poisoned with such an agent he would have died speak hours after the poisoning and been administering they say that theyve carried out over 60 tests on alexina valmy while he was in their care they found no trace of any toxin now they say theyve shared or made available the data from those tests they carried out theyve made that available to the german colleagues theyre now saying the time has come for the german colleagues to share the data that they have that claim that it that he was poisoned with this nerve agent. Of those when you know its not a diagnosis its not even a version but a sort of fiction fantastical suggestion or conclusion with no proof documentation or Clinical Evidence he would have died within hours 6 to 10 pm he would have been good because its a severe poisoning were going to full speed into execution is fatal while alexei in the valleys condition has improved hes been taken out of a medically induced coma that hed been in for just over 2 weeks and we understand that he is starting to breathe on his own again a diplomatic route over the whole incident continues to rumble on and is gaining momentum right in the crosshairs of that diplomatic row is the north stream to gas pipeline the project that would see russian gas pump directly from russia into germany now this has been something this has had its critics for a long time the United States has threatened crippling sanctions against it some of germanys own European Partners have been quite vocal critics of the north stream to pipeline. Project however as far as germany has been concerned in the past this is something thats an economic project and its set aside from Everything Else that may be going on however what we are starting to see is perhaps that mood may be changing in fact Frederick Metz who is a man who has a pretty good chance of being until a miracle successor when she steps down as german chancellor next year he said. Well if he had the power now he would be placing an immediate 2 year moratorium on the Infrastructure Project while weve heard from senior cabinet figures here in berlin in the last week and also suggesting that the project may well be suspended or even cancelled Angela Merkel herself has limited what shes have to say to this wouldnt be a unilateral german decision to pause or cancel the north stream to pipeline that would have to be a decision taken at the pan european level at an e. U. Level but what we are seeing is previously what had been unthinkable now being talked about as potentially possible is this i left my into this is 1st and foremost an economic project we consider it to be the right thing to do go because i think that we should couple these issues and in no opinion not 3 my 2 should be completed not. I think would be room through from the beginning but what is happening know you could have an impact from the projects to the federal chancellor also sees it as wrong to rule that out the german side of said the future of nord stream 2 depends on how russia responds to accusations of poisoning against alexei novelli now from the russian side we heard quite a lot on tuesday coming out of the Foreign Ministry we heard on monday that requests for information from moscow to berlin would be met that heiko must the German Foreign minister had greenlit the process that would see information transferred over to russia however what were hearing from the russians. It is nothing is being forthcoming just yet we understand the german ambassador to moscow has been invited to the Foreign Ministry to discuss this matter further d marias account of the russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson says theyve received no information so far from germany and the starting to really want some answers to their requests we expect burden to provide all the data they have to the bundeswehr about results and the evidence in possession of the german Foreign Ministry its time for them to show their cards because its obvious to everyone that the n is bluffing in the interest and due to political racket well Alexei Navalny was taken out of a medically induced coma on mondays understood to be breathing by himself now he remains here in berlin receiving treatment at the shot at a hospital his condition were told isnt life threatening anymore. I was just mention the north stream to pipeline now hangs in the balance over the poisoning of a geisha and donald trump has repeatedly told germany to quit the major gas project with russia but others supportive of it was the 1st one of the words up you know heard of north street it was all drug able when i came along i said wait a minute were protecting germany from russia. Russias Foreign Ministrys waited on the route claiming europe should stand up for its own interests and not become washingtons puppet german political commentator i came up believe the berlin would take a significant hit if it pulled the plug on north street. Its a catastrophe if this pipeline is being abolished because energy is the main cost for everything you do so if you increase the cost for your most vital product you need then you have disadvantaged in the Rural Economy so German Economy will have no chance on competing in the World Economy and thats exactly what ones you want america 1st he wants American Business to go in germany and europe will be dependent on maybe possibility from poland because if the gas pipeline is not coming we are dependent on other routes and all the other routes are dependent on 3rd parties so we will always be able to with the polish partner once. I profile a member of the opposition in belarus has been arrested on the border with ukraine it follows claims that Maria Kolesnikov are being kidnapped by bella Russian Security officials people have been protesting on the streets of minsk over kolesnikov his arrest crowds again waving the symbolic white and red flag over the opposition and chanting let her go and proclaiming kolesnikov a hero however there are differing versions of the events that led to that arrest is going to trying to explained. Is in turmoil after the election won by Alexander Lukashenko the opposition claims that the election was fraudulent and on monday a senior opposition figure Maria Kolesnikov all along with 2 other men of war opposition members as well disappear they couldnt be reached by phone and their whereabouts are unknown and after pretty much 24 hours of conflict things were florence just many hours then statements on behalf of the fortys and the supporters of the opposition the president decided to speak out in fact he was giving an interview to russian see. Journalists and our editor in chief i get this in my now i was there so let me just say that on tuesday russian officials began saying that the authorities had to detain Maria Kolesnikov our as she was trying to escape the country through belle reve his southern border with ukraine because she broke the law while trying to do that now what you are about to hear right now are the latest statements by the russian leader Alexander Lukashenko this is how he explained what he knows thats going to witnesses that only could you give us more detail about marie kolesnikov or where is she. I probably cannot give you much detail due to the fact that i was only told that she and her 2 friends who were drivers or close ones or distant ones they fled to ukraine today and they had documents and everything prepared in advance they showed their passports on our side customs officers Border Guards let them through for their own is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts they were 8 to 9 kilometers and their border is heavily guarded so we deployed more guards naturally they were stopped they froze the gas pedal she was even thrown out of the car on the move on the run. So they themselves did it yes well there were 3 of them who could have thrown her out Border Guards of course detained her hands would have been expected i say this is an old border guard and she was sent to the Border Office and the car went across the Ukrainian Border through the ukrainian post and then as far as im now informed they were detained and we negotiating with them so that they returned them to us. For the left the relatively speaking were released from. You know they could not be detained they traveled legally with documents but they violated the state border they checked in at the checkpoint the Border Guards and customs officers did their job and the border itself is another 8 or 10 kilometers away and they drove right through this reinforced post and hit the ukraine allegedly this woman sister lives in ukraine allegedly i dont know for sure they told me this today i ask why is it ukrainian or lithuania not hungry as they usually go to someones relatives to said to leave them i cannot claim so i dont know everything yet they thought she was detained and we also the Ukrainian Border goes to return the others to our country we will investigate what happened so just let me repeat these were the latest updates from the bell russian leader Alexander Lukashenko who was trying to explain this very complicated story from the side of the bell russian government so once again the bell russian authorities are calling this an attempt to flee the country by Maria Kolesnikov after she was thrown out of the vehicle and theyre saying that the people inside the vehicle were not following the orders by the Border Guards but i can tell you that the a bill russian opposition have their side of the story and they are providing. Totally different version of events according to the antigovernment activists america lessening of what the 2 other men were abducted somewhere else in belarus and then were deliberately taken to the border to be kicked out of the country but in order for that not to happen Maria Kolesnik allegedly decided to tear up her passport and that made it impossible for her to go through the border to get into ukraine although as far as i understand the other men were able to enter ukraine the bell russian president saying that they are now. Tain there but like ive said connection with all these activists house has been lost so again a very complicated story but what i can tell you is that the reaction from europe has been simple they do not trust the bell russian government and without hearing their side of the story they decided to come out with threats and here is one example of that it is clear that the state will. Continue to intimidate or allow him to mitigation of its citizens in an increasingly lawless way and crudely violate both the domestic laws and International Obligations now just going back to that interview with the bell russian president mr look at shank oh i can tell you that there was a lot to talk about of course and soon that conversation will be available on our t. V. Stay tuned for that as well and surely we will also be following the situation with Maria Kolesnikov and her fellow opposition activists. Next physical sold so on British Police officers known as spit and cough attacks are on the rise suspects are said to be taking advantage of fears of covert contamination with some offices claiming that they can no longer properly carry out of the. I. Dont want the record low enough yeah they are. The rise in assaults has huge impacts on stuff both physically and mentally and it has a huge impact on communities thousands and thousands of days of policing a lost because of these assaults while in the county of leicestershire the number of attacks doubled during lockdown more than 200 were recorded in just 3 months thats up from barely 100 incidents in the whole of last year but its not just the spit and cough attacks assaults are also shooting up across the board there have been 20 or 21 percent jump in attacks on British Police during the lockdown this year almost 8000. 00 cases were registered former Police Officer and London Police peter kirk and says that the coronavirus has given suspects a new weapon against the authorities. Has provided its. Another why of people who would Assault Police by whatever method is available another wife for them to get in into into offices. You know why they feel will be more imperative just at the moment. Its just provided them with another weapon really the issue is wider than just the spitting spitting and coughing in offices that were seeing with the covert epidemic and the problem is the decades 10 years of an anti Police Narrative by the governments gleefully releases by the media has resulted in respect and confidence in the police being severely undermined and not just if i believe so. The police have been criticised to every turn so a symptom of a problem this country has had developed in for some time which is the tax on police are growing rapidly in both number and do severity. Well it better look for people in the tech Sector Companies like netflix have been doing far better out of the lock down theyve been registering a very significant increase in profits across the lockdown as more people stay home and manage to stream online content its not just them either all the major tech players are vastly increased their own eggs in the last few months as well as netflix amazons revenue in the 2nd quarter that was up 40 percent to almost 900000000000. 00 apple well that reported an 11 percent increase to almost 60000000000. 00 meanwhile streaming services have also doubled their subscribers in just 3 months but such huge profits have not gone unnoticed the European Union is looking to introduce a digital tax european law makers say such firm should subsidize economies that have been crippled by the lock down. It is not possible to accept the idea that those digital giants the winners of the crisis are not paying a fair amount of taxes in europe and we cant manage this problem with single digital taxation we need at least at the European Union level a general measure or economics professor Richard Wolfe believes targeting the tech giant is just the 1st step to raising rates for all big corporations i think you seen it already we have a history here in the United States of taxing monopolies an oligopoly these are huge businesses but it always takes pressure from below it takes a movement of working people labor unions and others to be able to get the politicians to act and my suspicion is it wont be different thats what a little take the tax that tech giants now and once they go then the question will inevitably follow why are we not doing that for other our highly monopolized and overly wealthy corporations. A poll found the majority of British StateHealth Service doctors are considering quitting over the governments handling of the pandemic but the president of the u. K. s Doctors Association says issues have been building for a long time. I think what you have serious is that our n. H. S. Colleagues have been feeling and how in broken in short many years now prior to them how to mic this is a profession who have suffered through some of the worst crisis crises in history within our workforce including absolutely ruinous junior docs and contracts changes to our training that mean doctors need every 6 months so we hear around hospitals around the way and indeed the pensions types crisis which has forced many of our most senior an experience experience starts its interest high and all of this was prior to us going into a National Crisis over 700 doctors to pass in the survey 2 out of 3 say theyre now more likely to leave the national Health Service due to poor treatment from the government during the covert response most planned to get out within 3 years poor working conditions were high on the list of british doctors complaint the main reason cited for considering quitting were a lack of pay rises and protective equipment others know that theyve been gagged from speaking publicly about their concerns medics are also warning that theyve had promised benefits revoked and working on the covert front line has also had a major impact on my mental health. Since weve had in many different demick and weve had these incredible times where people have been dying and struggling weve been separate for our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years let alone well it wasnt too long ago that we were talking about nash if he were surviving on charitable donations and fear trying to learn how to stop just because crave it came in just pretty crap we deserve back. Professionally at home and it kept deserve better and that was what today is about that was really me. The government insists that its 3 percent pay rise offer is good enough and Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has pledged more funding for hospital infrastructure over the upcoming difficult winter period. We know that the n. H. S. Was very much understaffed and under resourced going into this. I have no doubt that impacted on our ability to combat this fire s. We had 10000 vacancies forward doctors across the frontlines 100000 vacancies for frontline and its for stuff including nurses so we were we were already struggling with our workforce now if so many doctors leave and we have to remember this was a survey of just 1700 doctors with 2 thirds of them saying actually they were making plans to lisa who knows how how big that number truly is but this this really is a worry and i think it is even more of a worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd set. May be coming within the u. K. So what were asking is that the government considers the hard work of those troops within the n. H. S. They show them how much theyre valued and they really are carted them to retain them in the n. H. S. Especially if there is to be a 2nd spike in the u. K. Gang related crime has been on the increase in sweden during the pandemic and to fight back police there want to expand wiretapping to everyone to detect potential gang members right now we have at least 40 family based criminal networks in sweden socalled clans they have come soley for the purpose of organized crime we need a change in legislation they give theres greater opportunities to listen to encrypted phone people who are not yet involved in any criminal investigation without people who can be clearly linked to gang crime we know hope that all this telephone traffic leads to us clearing up more crimes than we would have done otherwise. Or the moment swedish will already allows the phones of suspects facing at least 2 years in prison to be tapped the proposed changes would permit eavesdropping on those not under any specific suspicion or if a grand gang crimes of shocked Swedish Society lately a 12 Year Old Girl was killed recently after being caught in mafia crossfire but citizens are divided over whether wiretapping everyone is the solution. I think it is good that the police have increased opportunities to catch these criminal gangs for arranging freely in sweden today they must find new ways to try can take them to court but i think a law that says the police can why its a private interviews yours is too big a step to take there should be special reasons to eavesdrop on someone they dont see the risk for ordinary private interviewed salzberg intercepted in their private lives i do not think it affects our privacy we are already so monitored in any way with phones and other things so if this helps the police its great not good not my style i do not like it it creates a great deal of uncertainty as to water ploys because you do not know when they can listen where when and how so i do not like that more power a state within the state integrity is most important because you never know whats going to happen in the future. I think it is quite good that the police have greater opportunities to incept i personally do not mind it but i think it can be a great tool for the police to access a large part of the population and be able to stop some crime its nothing that bothers me a human rights expert told us that wiretapping innocent citizens is not the answer to growing gang crime. Well you know. Its. Reasonable concern i mean the 1st time for this year we have in sweden about the same number of killings. Those entirely by us here and also in the year previous to that so the problems here is probably are not really in my opinion. The liberties of the relation its a population which comprises device majority of the rents and sweden. And that has nothing to do we give you know behaviors on and on theyre going to deny you or. Criminality and wont even remember. Us for immediate 2 percent public stylistics where this city of the perpetrator so we know its could be. Wildfires are continuing to wreak havoc in parts of california with the state currently enjoying a record heat wave a district have now declared states of emergency as they battle the crisis. U. S. Clashes over Racial Injustice have begun creating used by both president ial campaigns but whats playing out on the streets is reminding some of old school cia style tactics on the quarter explained. Back in 2019 few could have even imagined that the run up to the president ial election would look. Like this. Because. At 1st glance these protests might resemble scenes of random Political Violence but take a closer look and they seem like something right out of the cia playbook guerrilla warfare is essentially a political war more specifically the cias psychological operations in guerrilla warfare manual it was written back in the 1980 s. To help anti communist fighters in nicaragua called contras their goal to overthrow president Daniel Ortega as pro soviet government and the cia recommended tactic on how to do it was to achieve a psychological victory through guerrilla warfare take a look at the slugging match is going on between the trump and biden camps and you get a similar picture. It is happening under Donald Trumps watch we are not safe and down all trunks america the hard truth is. You wont be safe your job buddies. And what does the cia say such stunts will accomplish. Propaganda improves the behavior of the population towards its author and its not achieved by force this means that unarmed guerilla units in a rural town will not give the impression that its weapons are a force that they hold over the peasants but rather that they are the strength of the peasants against the repressive government basically people dont. Usually mind if the armed guerrillas are on their side which could suggest well keep seeing streets of rage for some time we have the one side. That are. Pro b. L. M. Anti from maybe some other groups in there too as theyre using this is a means to put down the police. From fascists and their races and dispute in that direction on the other side from supporters are looking at the unrest the violence thats occurring the burned out businesses and buildings and homes. And destruction using this as a means to control and manipulate people. To get people on their side i think its dangerous and both sides both sides are are using this i think its creating more division more unrest unfortunately we dont have a real 3rd party to vote for and i think it is going to go on till the election that i unfortunately it may continue after the election ok thats the way most from moscow thats how thanks for watching x. News from us follows tuesdays boom bust. The world is driven by shaped by. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. Problem drugs dont always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies too in every state in the United States we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invented america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so whos to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of
