Afternoon for russia this is the weekly around the big headlines of the last 7 days here in r. T. International with me kevin 0 in here with you this hour hope to stick around to take you through the when we recap it all again starting with this 1st off germanys excepted moscows request for legal cooperation on a probe into the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy however state prosecutors want some information will only be shared with the activists consent it says Russian Police asked to interview him then in berlin we still in the hospital there germany still expects russia to be held accountable for the incident. Their relations with russia are influenced by the fact that russia is 1st of all an important global actor and also by the fact that in the past and in present times we have had some problematic topics between each other and we should express ourselves carefully this time there was an attempted murder on mr novelli performed with a very specific and internationally banned nerve agent of the novacek group and our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened. Our authorities are investigating this incident we dont like it when other countries dictate to us when and at what point to start our processes we cannot legally call this a criminal case based on the analysis of the journal of board 3 moreover the board to receive the b. R. D. Army just as in the b. Or d. It is probably impossible to initiate a criminal case on the basis of tests that were taken in our Military Hospital this is legally nonsense there are acts of furphy cation our investigative bodies are working they have questions new questions appear we hope that we will receive information from our german colleagues it will help to move forward germany previously announced it would be sharing the vel nice test results for the Global Chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the o. P. C. Deadly says says still nothing has been received as of yet the valley emerged from the in juice co with this week with german doctors saying he no reaction to speech the long term effects are still unclear he was airlifted to berlin for treatment last month after falling element flight of course from siberia the russian hospital that initially treated him notes no evidence of poisoning was uncovered meantime russias envoy to the uns been responding to western pressure on his country. These are all incident cannot but raise questions about some poll play being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in walked these leaders leads us to an unavoidable reply nicol question legions borst in search of situations weve won you trace it erk we promised who is to benefit from this the one that won it if you demand explanations will defect on the table and well compare notes one should with the last elite geishas and corroborated by evidence even this is as you see me your reasonable but. The german parliaments debated the poisoning at a special session with lawmakers already demanding action against moscow is our europe correspondent peter oliver. It was a fiery session on friday afternoon and early evening here in berlin in the german bund the stock the majority of those who spoke or pointing a finger of blame directly at russia and the russian government for what they say was the poisoning of alexei folly there were some voices that question the official government line not many i have to say but there were some and. If the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection for most Security Services political murder is part of the putin system. Now so not only are the russian supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let an avanti fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia its absurd that north stream too was a big issue on the debate as well basically the german politicians splitting into 3 camps there are those that say it needs to be halted immediately and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and how this story develops and there are those who are saying that its simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have though you see heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany friday night in the bundestag north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the German Government has repeatedly argued despite the war in syria despite the use of a chemical weapon in souls bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate Protection Security policy and human rights. Demanding the immediate termination of north stream 2 is in my view and hasty in misguided reaction but it pleases those who have always opposed the project to specially the greens well as germany continues to push russia for an explanation for what happened to alexina valley the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but if the use of your mind you put you on top of the german representative to the u. N. Said the data is no longer a matter for bilateral relations between germany and russia but a matter for multilateral procedure what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say its in the interests of our german colleagues we urge them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights when absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia are also being on the search for more Information Police in the city of thompson which is where alexina valley had been he was flying from tomsk to moscow before his plane had to make an Emergency Landing in the city of the lex in a valley in extreme distress while police in town scoping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane theyve placed miss in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with alecks in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say theyve been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr novelli they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany there are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the funny hours we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. As we heard senior politicians in berlin have been piling pressure on the government there to pull out of the nord stream to project over than of on the case in the week we spoke exclusively with the head of the german Parliaments Energy Committee about that very issue. Correct nordstrom 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 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 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 far gone unanswered. Another big story in the way it was britains much criticized internal market its going to face another big test tomorrow monday to when the house of commons debates it is proving hugely controversial in the week just gone Prime Minister Boris Johnson tried to convince his ruling party to back the draft act but former Party Leaders john major as well as next Prime Minister tony blair of both urging parliament to reject it. One of negotiating is irresponsible or wrong in principle and dangerous in practice it raises questions that go far beyond the impact on ireland the Peace Process and negotiations for a trade deal crucial though they are it questions the very integrity of our nation as the world looks on a girls that the u. K. This Government Action is shaming itself and embarrassing our nation the brics a developing designed to stop a hard border between the north and south of ireland but Boris Johnson wants to return controls on the movement to goods there and that sparked a harsh warning from brussels. Just be demagoguing you need to respect the will fully expect the u. K. To honor the commitments that negotiated and signed up to last year a special of them go to citizen strides in Northern Ireland any attempt by the u. K. To undermine the agreement would have serious consequences. Against this hostile backdrop the e. U. Breaks it talks continue Saskia Taylor assesses their chances of success. How i long for the breck set days even the instability that you know over moves are not permanently outside number 10 braxtons president to lay out to delay after delay is a passive but something reassuring in not so comforting that in these Tumultuous Times one can turn to bright set and like the good friend that it is but still that in fact nothings changed we have now been talking for 6 months and can no longer afford to go over well trodden ground we need to see more realism from the e. U. About our status as an independent country the needs to be in agreement with our european friends by the time of the European Council in the 15th thats going to be enforced by the end of the year but perhaps it wouldnt be bracks if it wasnt full of the satisfaction in that promise says by u. K. Having 2nd thoughts about the Withdrawal Agreement signed back in january so it might override key parts of the last brussels basically says we get our sue off to a free trade deal by mid october and the media thought of the u. K. When a king on its word elicited cries of more mature from those bureaucrats in brussels do you repeatedly shown freaks ability and creativity to work with the u. K. s redlines its time do you good to procreate i trust the British Government to implement their withdrawal a criminal and obligation under International Law and prerequisite for any future Partnership Protocol in ireland Northern Ireland is essential to protect peace and stability on the island. And integrity of the Single Market the one room of the got people especially worried is that tucked away in voters pocket is something called the entire market belt and the contents could jeopardize peace and security along the irish border but downing street denied this same that its only proposing my alterations which would provide clarity on certain big us parts of the deal but even at home not everyone is convinced that i be the head of the u. K. s Legal Department quit over the whole thing and then there is this one minute minor detail proving to be just a little contentious interaction in a very specific and limited boy oh well as long as its just specific but is all this proves to be the straw that breaks the camels back and the u. K. And e. U. Dont shake hands the u. K. Will be left popping up out in the north sea with no deal and no tariff free gas classic bracks set everyone happy looming deadline to threat of no deal and now the Prime Minister losing trust some things never change so you can tailor the emeritus professor at the London School of economics and alan skid believes brussels is still refusing to accept the fact the britons actually left the block. I think both sides would like some kind of deal however. The e. U. Insists on treating britain i click and im going to get problems that we can really be truly independent and the best could be we should still fall to the e. U. And it believes the common fisher fisheries policy should still apply to british territorial waters. Believes that when it comes to rules and regulations the british shouldnt be able to make their own they should be forced to. Rely on any new regulations passed the e. U. To get their approval for us and of course. Impossible for the british to except. This is our attention National Coming up tomorrow for our news of the week recap for you thousands of women broiling in the battle russian capital days after the arrest of a top opposition thinking theyre all coming as a high profile Opposition Leader has been arrested this week bringing fully up to speed so this was back. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see if that. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In a 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 or what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or inmate in the shallowness. Opposition supporters in better rossa keeping up the pressure on president lukashenko thousands of activists i was told women gathered in multiple locations across minsk calling on the president to resign as you can see there were tens confrontations with Security Forces too its the latest in a months long wave of unrest since the contested president ial election which opposition supporters say was rigged a Senior Correspondent in minsk. There is like the police the demonstrators and protesters very very adept it is well they realize that gathering in one place at the same time hes bound to you know get them all arrested so what theyve done is theyve got guys in different color has different marches down the streets of means in order to avoid being arrested all at once and then chanting. Against the president theyre saying theyre just out for a walk theyre calling as well for a criminal tribunal into the president there now apparently thousands tens of thousands of people marching down the streets of minsk in this womans march and they came out of nowhere little groups who get rising down little streets all converging to march down means nevertheless we havent seen police through state security agents in a while and there really is safety in numbers because it would be completely impossible to detain soo many people thousands of people on the peaceful march down the streets of means. Also this week a high profile member of the opposition in belarus was arrested on the border with ukraine on monday that kolesnik over disappeared she couldnt be reached by phone and for a while her whereabouts remain unknown there are claims that she been kidnapped 5 fellow Russian Security the law will try to cross the border into ukraine oleksandr look shanker him self more details in a very lengthy interview he gave with russian journalists in the week. So i was going to go it was just that only could you give us more detail about Maria Kolesnikov or where a share. I probably cannot give you much detail gigia the fact that i was only told that she and her 2 friends or 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 and our side customs officers Border Guards let them through further on is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts there are 8 to 9 kilometers and there our border is heavily guarded so we deployed more guards naturally they were stopped they throw 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 has 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 a cranium border up through the ukrainian post and then as far as i am now informed they were detained and we negotiating with them so that they return them to us. What for they left they relatively speaking of were released from the roofs you know they could not be detained they travelled legally with documents but they violated the state border they checked in at the checkpoint the Border Guards and customs officers did their jobs and the border itself is another 8 or 10 kilometers away and they drove right through this reinforced post and hid in 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 not lithuania not hungry as they usually go to but someones relatives a said to live there i cannot claim so i dont know everything yet therefore she was detained and we asked the ukrainian Border Guards to return the others to our country we will investigate what happened but classic over got a different version that she was abducted by officers and taken to the incredible order to be kicked out of the country to avoid. She has a terrible passport shes now being held in minsk the e. U. Is enraged at a detention branding it a violation of domestic and International Law made timelessly way near has passed a bill in world powers to recognize the opposition candidate in last month by the Russian Election as the rightful president if you were here is the 1st country then to recognize fit lana to can obviously as leader of belarus she fled to lithuania after the election shes since posted several videos asking the International Community to help force out and to enable new elections political analysts rain across the us through any would not have come out of 3 things for taken obvious care in the way it has without the backing of larger powers. Its a signal that is being shown to look at go it shall show. Of force is major forces Political Forces behind lithuania 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. 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 your political terms and not in trunks of elections in minsk. News will vaccine news in a way 3 phase 3 trials and theyre underway in the russian corona virus vaccine sputnik v as shipments are already being made nationwide is the latest itself an International Peer reviewed Study Confirms the early stage trials had been a success towns and cities across russia will have. Access to sputnik v. By monday around 40000. 00 volunteers are taking part of the trials and doctors teachers and murdering personnel are being offered the job on a voluntary basis the drugs already been registered in russia from agency use in large scale vaccinations expected to start by the end of the year the director of the Russian Investment Fund which is overseeing the project said all indications show that sputnik v.

Taking time out of his day to talk to us about it Charlie Parker a senior prom and ologist a postgraduate teacher in indias Liberty Hospital Research Center hi there thanks being with us when i was so much to our little so little time as usual 1st of all talk about this russian vaccine and sputnik think is it safe would you be taking it if it was offered to you as a medic. Kevin let me tell you something which i think i have discussed all with. Different stripped of society. Does. In the best lip possible. Came up with the you or. That went to the moon this comes with a lot of. Things into pulp fiction what i am seeing right now is a new guiding this russian lexeme that is going to come into existence and feel that the. Theories that is saying and i didnt know it was such that ive done on it the study they have done or. Im sure of a Good National standards of the way such is not a country where were just bulls and say we have come out with a vaccine for the close them its not so i think the have done their homework quite well and im sure they will come up into a Good National model good. As a as a no no i think the only is there was as a mad as an old medic you hear it now maybe they even if you do get this say of how they only last for 2 weeks 3 weeks so much different information so you kind of think yourself as an old medic who had to any of them come up with a vaccine how long are the antibodies going to last lets talk about other countries and the u. K. Oxford University Astra Zeneca theyre testing various vaccines but of course there was the news that they had to put their testing on hold because them some people fell ill the testing is back on now but its not all plain sailing is it. Well i start enormous feeling because they have found a. Reaction in the black sea and some person and. Some disease that doesnt love but i think they put on hold and then again they react to that and then the going ahead with that but i suppose we shouldnt be surprised if we have the same thing maybe about sputnik vader and yet it could happen even though were into the 3rd stage tests now were going its going to be released on monday to 40000. 00 people they could still be some consequences of this some bad reactions yeah. See you have to understand the margin of error i dont think. 1000000 or. Because theyre bad and proclaim to the world that the next scene is there and theyve been refused the margin of error to the maximum that they can and what does that surprise you but what does that mean to if you choose to do the mid to does it mean anyone could die over this or is that thats never going to happen just people could be ale no i dont think that people would die there wouldnt come out with that actually just like that on the contrary then why do some allegedly manifestations which ound the stand which can have been do happen even with. You know injections of media skyview and. So. Doing a good job it cant come soon enough connection or no for all of us around the world what a year its been thank you well let you get on with it i would go to parker from indias Lilavati Hospital and Research Center have a good day.

You just have to fly between 2 columns of smoke and as fast as you can. Go much any closer to the producer with push for the. Mass less nature for some of the latest. Stories impersonal suspense of course water rushes in racing is competition in the extreme to have a follows the specified route between the ones with the fastest time just to get a dog is reasonably good jim good to know each other but you should check your dish but you must lose should there really was a. Bomb. There. Are. A lot of welcome to the part of the global race to develop their backs in the. The Novel Coronavirus has already and terry thousands final mile of large scale human trials with hopes for these big tackle if the initial rabbit asked early as these here but be so many developer is running in pretty much the same direction that hes focusing on this single viral protein how high is the risk of an adventure old pete well to discuss that im now joined by Professor Emeritus of science and Technology Status at the university of amsterdam and author of immunization how vaccines became controversial friends are blooming such an honor such a pleasure talking to you thank you very much for your time. Contributors and now you recently wrote an article for the New York Times and each you stated that all the world agrees that we need a vaccine and i wonder if its really so subtle not a moan to governments who while hes under pressure to produce some sort of a solution some sort of a panacea but among scientists have they really are rather the consensus at that scene is the ultimate weapon against cobbett 90. 9 essential so sure are. I dont believe it will solve all the problems there are many problems about producing on a sufficient Scale Distribution out of a sense that we need to jump over comments that there are people may think once of invention natured that all of the problems are going away and thats not true either at the societal level or at the individual level because its unlikely that a fuss about actually will be on the percentage of sectors that are speaking about this over confidence even the bass of back and i mean this you mean the best possible scenario the vaccine will still have its limitations whats a realistic expectation at this point of time or whatever back you should be able to do ill be talking about i dont know if these
