Country he infamously helped the sending u. S. Military into in 2000 and. Welcome to the program. And the European Parliament that a resolution calling for even more sanctions that he slapped on russia in response to the alleged assassination attempt against opposition figures. Russias Foreign Ministers responded by saying many politicians in the bloc are all too happy to pass judgement before any due process has been conducted. If we consider any talk about how proper it would be to name the sanctions regime after in the valley to be a brazen attempt to imbue the neatly restrictions with obviously anti russian tendencies and all this comes our offers to berlin to jointly investigate what happened are ignored under some made up pretexts the nature of the latest statements coming out of brussels makes us think that our western partners are not interested in establishing the truth of russia them to help that common sense will prevail in the you in the end and our partners will ditch the practice of arbitrary trading blame and well make conclusions based on real and confirmed facts going forward. A lot is paid for all of us more on todays vote in the European Parliament and what exactly it could mean. 532 m. E ps voting in favor of this resolution 84 against with 72 abstentions what it could result in a is asset freezes travel bans another sign sions against those that are featured in Alexei Navalny zante corruption videos could also lead to they also want to see an International Probe into what happened to alexa in a volley when they talk about an International Probe thats including the United Nations the European Union the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and others all to be on side with that and it talks about blocking the construction of nord stream to the gas pipeline that takes russian gas or will take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany earlier this week we heard from us that both held the e. U. High representative for Foreign Affairs saying that wasnt within the remit of the e. U. Institutions to do he said it would be up to the individual Member States that are involved in the project if they were to council out call d it off block it in any way or just temporarily suspend it however we have heard from the e. U. Commission president saying now is the time for action and 2000 that advocates closer ties with russia i say that the poisoning of Alexei Navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off. We have seen the pattern in georgia and in ukraine in syria and saulsbury and an election meddling around the violent. And this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that where moscow is still saying burleson must share with them the evidence that is behind the claims Alexei Navalny was poisoned kremlin spokesperson dmitri press corps was also talking about nord stream too he says its a purely commercial project and shouldnt be tied to anything political or diplomatic thats ongoing it was a similar feeling from russias permanent representative to the European Union he said that the north stream to pipeline project came about because of the European Union and in particular germanys need for gas a commercial need for that gas that still exists and thats why in his opinion he thought the north stream to the pipeline would go ahead of being planned. Which he needs me what are you seeing is a case of bad faith competition washington is pushing its own expansive flick we fight natural gas on to the European Market at the expense of european businesses and ordinary consumers. Alexina valley the man at the center of all of this and his alleged poisoning is said to be recovering in the hospital hes still being treated out here in berlin earlier this week we heard from the hospital saying that he was now able to leave his bed for short periods of time all german m. E. P. Maximum craw who took part in todays vote believes this is part of a great applause are going through russia. No one of the of the members of parliament who today. Voted in favor of sanctions has seen any evidence. For a for a campaign or for a political way if you dont need that evidence at least not in the European Parliament so i dont expect that you get that evidence but the same people who say we dont give you the evidence will tell you we have we expect from russia to investigate it was absolutely clear that this is another chance to to push the enter russian agenda i followed that debate especially concerning all 3 and 2 in the European American parliamentary delegation. And i are always when we meet ask the u. S. Ambassador wyden the illegal 3rd Party Sanctions and the answer is always the same or go on and do everything it can to stop that project and if you have a clear goal to stop a project then you take every possibility you get to do so and of course there are Nuclear Incident occurred with missile abani is such an opportunity to push the own again. And so it was clear from the beginning that this chance would be used. The days session of the European Parliament also touched upon the situation in belarus sand the fallout from the disputed election also welcome the belarus opposition to Ordination Council will hear reaction to that later in the program. Alexina valmy whos now a concert of some recovering from his ordeal has been posting on instagram about his poisoning according to a new video and its accompanying text a water bottle with a trace of the nerve agent was found in his hotel room in tomsk his colleagues say we took the bottle as evidence just an hour after the maleness poisoning came to light r t z goes down after has been looking into the story. This is it amateur footage shot in election of alis room according to his supporters about an hour after the russian opposition figure started showing the 1st symptoms of the poisoning and the 1st thing that jumps at the viewer is that all these people in the room normally it is advised to wear more protective gear to protect oneself from covert and this here they were potentially dealing with a military grade nerve agent and look at that only some of them wearing as much as late as gloves many people in the room arent wearing anything and they are saying that at that time they were dealing with no b. Chalk one of the most deadliest nerve agents out there in the world there was no specific hope of finding anything like that but since it was absolutely clear to us that the valley was not just slightly ill and didnt have heat stroke it was decided to stick everything that could be hypothetically useful in some way and pass it over to the doctors in germany 2 weeks later the German Laboratory found traces of novacek on the bottle from the tomsk room and then 2 more laboratories that took tests from alexei confirms that novelli was poisoned with it now we understand this was done before he left his room to go to the airport. This video seems to raise more questions than provide answers 1st and foremost how that particular bottle and all the this evidence all these things were transferred from moscow to berlin there have been some unconfirmed reports that apparently a special rescue plane took all his belongings from that room to berlin for instance selection of ali could simply choose not to drink from anything provided by the many by his hotel i mean there was there was up to up to him there were 3 bottles in the video we can see that the right at least 3 separate bottles and election of our new chose to drink from that particular one also there were no guarantees that somebody else from election of onis entourage wouldnt drink from that bottle and so the alleged perpetrator the potential perpetrator could end up with a whole heap of bodies when it comes to the bottle all that we know is that it was laced with with this with this agent but mind that there are several agents that nobody is a family its not one particular like a drug or anything its a deadly nerve agent but in fact its a group of 7 binary chemical weapons so 7 theyre different they work differently some of them work slower than others some work rapidly can take up as little as 30 seconds for a person to show 1st symptoms of not feeling well after being poisoned with no recheck other circle of the Foreign Ministry has already praised russian doctors because it was the russian medics who who provided election of ali with 1st aid to some of our western colleagues wrote the valley was saved by a miracle allegedly it was this new tourist nova chuck with a russian citizen managed to survive thanks to a happy coincidence what is this happy coincidence as you say the impeccable work of our pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence if they dont even admit that we acted in a proper way that will. So again russia is still waiting on its European Partners to do provide some of the to provide the evidence to provide the results of their research to russia so that russia could help out and cooperate with europe in investigating this investigating this poisoning about it got into public spotlight after the poisoning in sales barry and i would like to talk a little bit more about that because the 1st thing that you can remember when it comes to these proposals policing of course are all these people in a hazmat suits you know going through going through the. House going through his things and so on and so forth but if you compare and if you compare the level of protection during that during that investigation and how look at that look to the left in the left of the screen you can see how poorly protected were the people were the election of only supporters handling potentially a military grave a military grade nerve agent again so what is a miracle really that none of them got sick. Russia says it wont extradite to poland 3 air Traffic Controllers who were working on the day of the event polish president s plane crash in 2010 a Government Spokesperson said the move would not be permitted under russian law this comes after an Investigative Group from the polish Prosecutor Generals Office applied to get a court motion to have the russian citizens temporarily arrested. The charges against the air Traffic Controllers concerned the deliberate provocation of a plane crash resulting in the deaths of many people of the tragedy happened back in april 2010 in western russia where the polish president was heading for an official visit the plane crashed while trying to land amid fog and generally poor weather conditions all those on board including the president s wife and other senior politicians and citizens were killed separate investigations by both russia and poland came to similar conclusions that the actions of the pilots led to the crash whoever poland also noted mistakes by air Traffic Controllers. Now in 2017 polish prosecutors accuse the russian air Traffic Controllers of deliberately causing the crash later a 2nd polish commission claiming it was an explosion on board before the plane hit the ground or director of the Crisis Research center mark almond believes politics still plays a central role in the long running case. This is a highly politicized event and of course the polish prosecution authorities are political appointees so its not as though this is a kind of scientific show homes to help probe i think all the evidence sadly tragically is that it was an accident accident involving very high profile figures from the president of poland down to former solidarity activists and that made it a highly emotional and disastrous development but it and its also been a poisonous Development Inside polish politics because of course the present government accuses its predecessor of covering up the alleged russian plot its highly unlikely that crimes tatoos consider and his colleagues were serving the interests of russia they were quite firmly pro nato quite critical of president putin spoke of his many errors but its a sign that how this issue and this attitude towards russia has become an internal battle in poland as much as a geopolitical battle between warsaw moscow. The European Parliaments been chewing over the situation in belarus the e. U. Also welcomed the but a russian opposition a coOrdination Council and a fresh election moscow to brussels is in no position to call the shots and says mediation is the only option there that heat up. What they recommend is that the European Union the heads of states the European Council seriously consider sanctions against the russian president 3 Alexander Lukashenko sanctions against those who supported him those who continue to support him even sanctions against russian officials and citizens who they believe supported president theyve also determined that the election was unfair they dont recognize his legitimacy and once his term is up they will no longer recognize him as the legitimate president of better of saying that the elections that took place in august in belarus happened in flagrant violation of the laws electoral laws and International Norms moreover they have decided to recognize the opposite opposition coOrdination Council committee as the representatives of the better russian people which may seem odd because most of its members original members have fled the country one Maria Kolesnik of a is in jail here and in minsk and she is being shes being accused and charged with trying to seize power and destabilize there are an awfully nevertheless the European Parliament has recommended that the European Council recognize the year coOrdination Council as the legitimate representative body temporary body of the better russian people at the council itself the committee has stated very in goals from deposing of the president president to merely organizing new elections lithuania by the way had previously also recognized the north of one of the rivals running against president lukashenko during the election as the legitimate representative of the better russian people as as was mentioned earlier you know protests still continuing we see on the weekends thousands upon thousands of people marching down the streets of minsk chanting for the president president to reside but weve also seen someone. Slow down there are less and less spontaneous protest during the during the week this week there have been hardly any in a public strike organized and called for by the opposition yesterday was a failure they call didnt people and businesses shut down for people to not go to work that was really only about a dozen people joined into this walkout joined into this protest so that you know there is there is a market slowdown in this protest mood in belarus. Hes been called out for frequently making gaffes on the campaign trail and now and so bidens confuse the ron and the rock when talking to veterans about where theyd fought in battle u. S. Troops died in a room in afghanistan. Parliament Irans Parliament voted to reject all americans and Coalition Forces in the country we tried it in in iraq is not working so now were going to try and i mean in iran and scuse me were trying to ukraine i mean you know someone who has been injured or lost. Let me tell you something. We. Well its that particular conflict in iraq which joe bidens been widely criticized for playing a key role back in authorizing back in 2002 at the time he chaired the u. S. Congress Foreign Relations committee and shows all 18 prowar witnesses in the main hearings on iraq that later turned out iraqi leader Saddam Hussein neither had weapons of mass destruction nor ties to al qaeda why conservative estimate more than 4 and a half 1000 u. S. Soldiers and the same number of contractors who lost their lives in the invasion. A former u. S. Marine corps Intelligence Officer scott ritter claims he was ridiculed for briefing biden about the absence of any weapons of mass destruction. What is a big deal is joe bidens boat for the iraq war and i take it personally because i briefed joe biden in person you know he insulted me when i testified for the United States senate in those september of 1988 about iraq and weapons of mass destruction hed be a little be a scouting boy he said people above my pay grade were making this decision zits. And then he met with me in apologized and said he you know you know a lot we should talk about this in 2002 in the lead up to the vote on the war he as you mentioned he hosted a hearing and i did my darndest to become a witness for that hearing he ignored me. It was very rude the way he did so and as you said he brought in prowar witnesses he stacked the deck it was a Kangaroo Court because joe biden wanted to go to war he always wanted to go to war any boated for that war thats what American Veterans are going to hold him to account for the military is not a litmus test for american patriotism. But you cant run around and pretend that you are mr raw raw google military when you are you know theres not a single nonpolitical combat veteran who is going to give joe biden a pass on this one joe biden has 0 credibility when it comes to talking about the military talk about war above all talking about sacrifice he literally has no credibility it doesnt resonate. And you survey found as a surprising lack of knowledge about the horrors of the holocaust among Young Americans research was conducted in 50 states and found among 18 to 39 year olds most dont know millions of jews were murdered by the nazis almost half couldnt name a single concentration camp while 11 percent believe the jews themselves were responsible. Or majority did agree that it was important to learn about the event to ensure its never repeated and the Holocaust Education should be compulsory we asked young people in new york what they learned and their history classes. We. Used couple 1000000000. People died and i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was. 6000000 people. The exact number but it. Was a. Pretty big game its weird like now its kind of like theres the conspiracy theorists that think it didnt happen. Just to remind viewers the collaborators set up more than 40000 concentration camps and get over there in the 2nd world war and alone almost a 1000000 jews were slaughtered while 2 thirds of all of europes jews were wiped out holocaust expert mark shulman believes the u. S. Education system is failing students. The reality is the american americans generally American Youth for young people in particular are ignorant about history and they get too much of their information from social media and that social media is full of holocaust deniers claim we get never happened saying the jews caused it and thats the general problem that exists with social media but generally it starts from the fact they just do not know history they take a perfunctory history classes in high school you know the average history teacher is called not called him mr history or history person or sir hes called coach because most history teachers in the United States have to coach a team and thats their primary responsibility is to coach basketball soccer whatever it might be and secondary they teach history and thats the reality of a history in the United States its a National Problem because its impossible for people in my opinion to make political choices if they dont understand history and what came before that and what one of the causes of the violence but again its not only the holocaust its of course the American Revolution the cold war make you a bet that if you asked people what the battle of stalingrad was in the United States these same kids about you know more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative its sensible way. The shorters of covert testing in the u. K. To lead teachers to question School Safety pupils and staff are among those struggling to get shacked with more details here. It wasnt so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school its much much better for their for their health and Mental Wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all scientific advice is that schools are safe its only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers are founding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that education in england may cry to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home School Managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said staff and pupils couldnt book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirtys the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. Teachers that conduct says a Testing Center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so and fit the country could go back into defacto knocked down once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lock down there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lock down by default its not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene necessities nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water just 18 percent had had from the tides then every pulse from its left paris to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open. Is clear but they have to be violent and one of the findings in speaking back is that you know. Im selftaught on these. Its eccentricity versus thank you stance weve not remind you given the average we need to test and they need to be and obviously we can see news which can. Hawks explores how hollywood may look very different in the post black lives matter world as well as other news you know oneill is taking over for me and often i want to bring you the evening of global news updates to join us again but. Anyone else chose seemed wrong. Just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out this day comes to educate and in gains from it equals betrayal.

Greetings and sell you to us since the murder of george floyd and beyond the taylor cries for Police Reform have rarely been heard this loud in the United States of america and while Small Victories of Law Enforcement reform have taken place on local levels in cities like minneapolis ferguson and seattle on a national and federal level the needle of reform its barely move why because even today many leaders and citizens across the country still question whether we even need to reform the police at all often using that that tired old d oh its just a few bad apples routine Like Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell the corporate joel themselves to dust off the bad apples excuse recently when discussing how city mayors need to really crack down on those protesters mcconnell observe the police
