Of all of russia here in moscow its now just turned 80 am this friday the 11th of september my names kevin o. And thanks for taking the time to check in 1st russias u. N. Envoy says burleson has yet to provide grounds for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of the russian politician alexina valmy citing the lack of information shared with moscow for selling the benghazi it was responding to calls than by western powers for a wide ranging probe he also suggested the incident may have been staged. These school uses them can raise questions well both lead being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in. This reverse leads us to an unavoidable review article question legions in search situations with one you trace it we post who is to benefit from this the one that won it meanwhile berlin and moscow are both demanding answers on the opposition figure germany says its handed over all its data on the case to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the o. P. C. W says nothings yet been received my colleague Jacqueline Bouvier got more details than from a correspondent on the quarter. Just seems like this political dispute over the alleged poisoning of alec saying of all me is entering its next chapter germanys handing over the evidence it claims to have to the o. P. C. W. In the kremlin has already said its not happy about it. It looks like. But its not. Including the kinds of clinics that most. Germany is having trouble sharing the information with us we have no idea what 300 over to the w. So this is basically the essence of whats been going on over the last couple weeks berlin saying theyve established than of all he was poisoned and demanding that russia investigate while at the same time moscow is asking to see that that alleged evidence and which they actually need to open a criminal investigation if there needs to be one and that just being ignored dont give our viewers a little background how did this all began well it started when the volley was flying from siberia to moscow in mid august 28th l seriously ill now the russian doctors who treated him in the siberian city of all they said they didnt find any toxins at his in his system but when he was airlifted to germany the doctors there said that they did in indeed find a chemical agent in his blood they say that it was not a chalk specifically a nerve agent that was developed in the u. S. S. R. And now that the o. P. C. W. Is involved the whole situation really seems a lot more suspicious for moscow since the organizations words doesnt hold much weight with the kremlin if your p. C. W. Is in deep crisis what with the. Activities and extreme politicization and this didnt take place just today is still a long time ago the practice of reaching consensus decisions has been completely forgotten and the organizations handling of the 2018 alleged chemical attack in duma syria was what soured its relationship with moscow on a number of inconsistency as were left on the. Dressed and according to whistleblowers that came from the organization they said that anyone who dissented from within was silenced but nevertheless russias representative to the opi c. W. Has said that the kremlin will be willing to work with the organization on this case dont call the reporting there for us and in related news senior politicians in berlin piling pressure on the government to pull out of the nord stream to project over the case the major gas pipeline connecting russia to germany then is due to be ready by the end of the year the head of the german Parliaments Energy Committee believes that a bad thing now would be a disaster. For north stream 2 is not putins project it involves a large number of European Companies and is designed to ensure the security if europes gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the foot it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the German Government and of course it will affect gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game that the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against International Law and we dont accept it i can see the many people who might not have fully understood the story thinking now well show them but i think its completely wrong 1st of all we need to establish what really happened because i dont think germany know i think we should respond appropriately to the russians request for Legal Assistance we obviously received such a request but according to the russians it is so for gone unanswered. Around 13000. 00 migrants will be left without shelter after europes biggest refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos burned to the ground the facility was notoriously overcrowded. Thing 6 times more residents and its capacity that added to an already catastrophic situation then as the camp had been on lockdown after almost 40 covert cases at the facility the greek government warns those displaced by the blaze will not be allowed on to the mainland the locals dont want to rebuild theyve rallied to block heavy machinery from even entering the site as well as trying to stop former camp residents from reaching the islands capital to Rights Groups warn they were also prevented from delivering aid to the migrants and it comes as france and germany now urging fellow e. U. Members to take in unaccompanied minors from the camp is a desperate situation there so some doubt the block im providing any Real Solutions to the crisis is our europe correspondent. Thousands left without shelter described as a humanitarian disaster by politicians when it comes to who is responsible for the fire at the morea refugee camp the greek government is blaming the refugees. Option for looks and. Everything points to the fact that the fire was started as a result of the dissatisfaction of some guests of the morea center due to the necessary isolation however those who have been watching the situation on less forced to tear erate say it encapsulates the failure of the e. U. Migration policy. The european idea has gone up in flames European Values of a community of solidarity standing for peace and human rights and meant to fight against National Attitudes im racism and hatred of others the blaze in moria has focused the attention of e. U. Leaders back onto the plight of migrants stranded on the greek islands with many pledging to help arsons which is sent ships of its own so how does the displaced. We have to clarify as quickly as possible with the e. U. Commission and other helpful e. U. Member states how we can support greece france has never shied away from its responsibilities and is as always ready to take its part in solidarity we stand ready to support with Member States our priorities the safety of those without shelter talk of solidarity is all well and good but its the same message weve heard since 2050 its time to say some for action. Stop looking the other way the lives of 13000 people are in danger due to the fire that destroyed the refugee camp in moria the e. U. Must act now to relocate people that need protection lets put into practice the solidarity that we preach here in germany theres been a chorus of voices calling for more help for the thousands of people seemingly abandoned in the camps was really. Very hard. I. Dont know more because you know when you ask. Why people looking or not. There have been attempts to make the situation better cash is being thrown at the problem and also has to take some migrants to all the Member States in the e. U. Have been welcomed but its not enough to make a real difference so the e. U. States want to see an overhaul of the system to make it mandatory that those seeking asylum in the e. U. Be shared among nations however thats face stiff opposition from poland and hungary that wont entertain the idea the focus of attention is back on asylum applicants and the contradictions in which they live because of this fire in moria whether docked attention turns into genuine action all only goes as far as calls for solidarity thats down to e. U. Leaders peace all over r. T. The global migration displacement lead to the red cross says the aid definitely must step in to avert a humanitarian crisis. Weve been calling on. All actors all the corners and including of course. Members native to. Greece in in funding solution to what is in reality a problem that has been going on for far too long let me ask you is this. The mainland i know how to. Accommodate in seclusion as much as possible. Literally the most vulnerable. And what we would like to. Remember things from the e. U. They provide more solidarity and support to the greek authorities and exploring what you need is a relocation of the most fun. Franciss coronavirus Daily Record Health authorities reported 9843 new confirmed covert 1000 cases thursday the most the since the start of the outbreak 20 new diagnostic centers are to open in the paris region the soaring public demand for tests puts huge pressure on Health Authorities charlotte who bensky reports them for us from the french capital. I mean the scramble to get ahead of the curve the french government promised 1000000 tests would take place weekly by september and by hook or by crook it has succeeded in doing just that this is just one facility where people can get tested at 19 so much so you get 20 new Testing Centers for the virus to open here in the paris region but the clamor for testing has caused other problems Testing Centers are apparently struggling to deal with the volume of people wanting to find out if they happen it there are delays in getting access to the board trees and queues it doesnt centers and paris and elsewhere right now its taken an average of 3 and a half days to get tested the French Health minister hitting on quite a Crucial Point here queues like this which are not uncommon could contain some people who are infected and indeed contagious a person who has symptoms and who may have been in contact with an infected individual has to be tested urgently they must not be turned away from a tree because there is no availability we have to work on that because its not acceptable. 2 options today to get tested wait 7 days for an appointment in a lab wait for hours and centrally on standing under the hot sun i tried the 2nd option but with a 39 degree fever i did not last long i called the labs of raw no places for 7 days plus 5 days to get the results or wait in line for 2 hours while sick and with no Energy Question is the test still relevant if done 7 days after symptoms start while standing in a queue for hours may be frustrating whats perhaps frustrating people even more are the delays in getting their results people are threatening to sue us because they missed their plane because of the delays in the tests we work like crazy and everyone is unhappy delays could also mean that even if you tested negative for 19 while waiting for the result you could have contract it but this is not just a problem here in france across the English Channel they are also struggling the Health Minister very though has pointed the finger of blame on people who are a symptomatic if you. Unless you. Are a teacher going to test you not eligible for a test on the flip side some are suggesting the volume of test taking place in countries like france even more than a 1000000 a week still isnt enough they are doing 1000000. 00 per week thats not so much for a country of 67000000. 00 people and also they are doing it for personally so theres no logic theres no strategy and thats not good but if the abortion results already under the cosh wouldnt 10 times the number of tests cause even more of a headache there is a way around this though Rapid Testing delivered in less than half an hour. Which is available at some pharmacies for a fee problem is these new tests seeing is being less reliable leaving some even more confused about what to do than so much even ski r. T. Paris. Its a headache isnt it its a 15 in the morning here in moscow good morning folks what should have some kevin though in this is coming up will the British Government. Legal threats that london looks to override the divorce threats go either which way here its all coming to a head well tell you about it. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you there. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation 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 maybe in the shallows. Good morning the e. U. Is threatening legal action against britain if it goes ahead with a bill to override the brics a divorce treaty london issued an Immediate Response insisting it wont drop the legislation despite earlier admissions that it breaks International Law r. T. Showed it was daschle was the latest on it. Well its almost as though they couldnt quite believe what was happening when it got wind of exactly what the u. K. Is attempting to do so essentially the British Government is trying to reinterpret the special arrangements made for Northern Ireland and the vitriol agreement the e. U. Would essentially say its as if the u. K. Is trying to rip up the Withdrawal Agreement that the u. K. And the e. U. Spent so long trying to rectify and in turn the e. U. Is saying to the u. K. You have a 20 day deadline to. Let me you turn on this they argue its an attempt to override the Withdrawal Agreement the Withdrawal Agreement contains number of mechanisms the legal remedies to germs the violations of the legal obligations contained in the text which the European Union will not be shy in using so for the e. U. Its almost its Worst Nightmare they say the u. K. Has totally broken violated International Law theyve also broken trust and also risks the future relationship with the e. U. Too because they say of course this is an extremely bad violation of the very Withdrawal Agreement as well now its all about the u. K. Deciding as i say to try and reinterpret this special arrangement made for Northern Ireland almost essentially saying that ministers in essence can export declarations of goods from britain to you know of the nile and while that might seem like a nice option on paper even the United Kingdom is admitting it is a violation. In a very specific limited boy. Power to disappoint your concept. Choirboy school for a certain very shortly before and so whos going to say so well Brandon Lewis is accepting a slight misdemeanor here so well of braverman the attorney general she said in response that the difficult and highly exceptional circumstances its important to remember to remember the fundamental principles of parliamentary sovereignity weve also got a government response as well to the e. U. Saying that parliament would not be acting unconstitutionally and acting in the bill and it is allowed to discharge its treaty obligations in good faith they would argue that the internal market bill is in good faith they argue its designed to try and unify the u. K. s 4 nations and therefore that is the crux of why theyre trying to get this bill forward next week all m. P. s will be voting on it they say that it is really designed as i say to try and unite the country so there is the argument there that maybe potentially the u. K. Is trying to apply a lot of pressure on to the European Union. So that they climbed down on their position as we know the talks are in a stalemate position so theyre trying to maybe get some wiggle room to see if the you were trying to climb down on some of that demands having said that its caused a huge huge uproar in many diplomatic circles and sending shock waves politically. The strategy and behavior of the British Government was one of brinkmanship was one of threatening to crush oshie you know if you dont if we dont get to an agreement we might go come because i knew that sort of thing trust has been eroded. Tension has been created dont have been created and thats not conducive to solid because. We didnt want to deal with any cost we urge britain to work with us constructively in foreign compromises the interests of both sides any of them by britain to undermine the agreement would have serious consequences so this mission has led to an absolute torrent of criticism and weighing in as the former Prime Minister to reserve may of course has been a very huge figure in the negotiations she herself says that this bill would undermine the trust between the e. U. And the United Kingdom and thats a position that. The European Commission president has also reiterated she says it does undermine trust between britain and the bloc but burning bridges with the European Union may not be that much of a surprise but this political stunt seems to have further consequences because now were hearing from across the pond the United States is warning london that if indeed this bill violates the good friday agreement well therell be no possibility of having a post u. K. U. S. Trade deal of course thats something that the u. K. Is severely banking at this point in time but as far as trade talks go then between the u. K. And the e. U. Over the last few weeks over the summer theres been very very little wiggle room weve seen a complete stalemate position and of course this certain controversial political stunt from the u. K. Will only add fuel to the fire. But it is a smaller only has passed a bill world powers to recognize the Opposition Leader as the rightful president it comes off from months of violent unrest in the country following Alexander Lukashenko contested elections and through our Senior Correspondent regards to visit the capital for us. Its still tense here and we havent seen today the kind of violence the crackdowns that we saw in previous days but what we lacked in developments here we saw internationally with the 13 year coming out surprise if you had declaring the winner of the election the contested election last month declaring lucas a rival. Who had earlier fled the country the Lithuanian Parliament calls on the International Community to support the demand from should learn a 2nd of the leader elected by the belorussian people and from the Coordination Council established at her invitation as the only legitimate representatives of the belly russian people for holding new transparent and democratic president ial and parliamentary elections. We call on the International Community to consider any domestic or Foreign Policy action by the illegitimate leaders billy reese Alexander Lukashenko and legitimizing his power and conclude new agreements with russia which restrict the sovereignty of the belarusian people to be a crime against his people surprising not only because lithuania is the 1st country to recognize. Rivals with lalage you can also as the legitimate president of better us but also because there have been very mixed messages coming out of the European Union with regards to for example sanctions whether that be sanctions against president bush. And his followers with a 3rd b. That recognize him as the legitimate president of the us and you know what Foreign Policy approach they would now assume towards belarus we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize Nicolas Maduro from this point of view maduro and lucas shank are in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing that democratic legitimacy the other surprise is of course you can also is turnabout youve heard what she had said previously because immediately after the election after leaving the country leaving the rest of heading to the European Union she said that she didnt see a political future of herself that she she didnt see herself running for for another election a 2nd round perhaps but that has changed shes now making very official statements address in the people of. The people of russia the European Union advising the. What course to take geo political and diplomatic course to take with regards the president with regard to bellaver so she certainly sees a political future for herself now and is apparently determined to stay the course here in bel. The situation nevertheless is still tense as i mentioned every day we have here a spontaneous protest earlier today we saw a protest turn ugly with police and Security Services tightening up trying to trying to break up out break up. An antigovernment protest the protests is in the church they talk that eventually both went their separate ways but they were upset that a progovernment protest that happened behind me nobody asked them to disperse that they went on their merry way as i say passions are high theres a lot of bad blood between the different sides the different cabs the. Camp and the opposition camp and we expect big protests this weekend. To political analyst rana ross 1st notes that if you only would not have made its declaration in support of chicken or sky without the backing of larger powers. Its a signal that is being shown to go and it shall show. Of force is major forces Political Forces behind because little you know wouldnt take such a measure which is illegitimate according to International Law if there was no support by the European Union or who knows. And i see this. Not too intelligent. To blunt because it shows clearly that the situation in. Belarus is not only divided one side is also in danger of being taken over by external interests therefore i see it in political terms and not trunks of elections in minsk. Because its like else to worry about strategy. That the era of Global Economic growth is coming to an end and were about to see drastic changes to the Way International politics and conducted. The world is on the cusp of a new era that will be characterized initially by disorder with the likely loosening of the globalization that created the rapid economic and asset price growth of the last 40 years or so research has believed this year marks the start of a new structural supercycle accelerated by the pandemic they predict the u. S. And china will be locked in an economic conflict reminiscent of the cold war governments and companies will be overloaded with debt europe will face a make or break decade coming up and the world could see either a new technological revolution or the bursting of a big tech bubble. The problem is the stimulus from the Great Recession was largely monetary stimulus and a lot of it went into financial asset markets not into the into the real economy now this crisis we have is as collapsed the real economy 4 times deeper and worse than it was the 10 years ago so its going to take a massive fiscal stimulus which i dont see happening anywhere i see a lot of my money terry stimulus still but thats not going to produce a really strong recovery its going to take years at least a decade perhaps to grow out of this if they dont really do a significant fiscal stimulus which i dont see. Well but now wed like to see much more of what were talking about today dotty dot com or a very social media it seems work in that run the clock for you coming to 20 nominees prostates the morning here in moscow redoubts international from main studio headquarters no less its kevin i would signing off for me in the morning to thank you for watching this program i would have it in today have a great day. By the demick no 6 you know boy. Nationalities. As a march to. The back seat. Feasting. Judging. Coming crisis systems. We can do better we should. Everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis. Will not go on forever the challenge is crazy the response has been must so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that were in it together. When i was told seemed wrong but all lost just dont hold. The old beliefs yet to shape out just because to add to it and engage in it because of the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground
