A german court town threatened with the u. S. Sanctions strike a defiant tone. Trying to tell us what to do here its really serious that we believe that its teachers trying to manipulate your long european teachers to your aid be seen come out and talk. To moscow demands answers from washington amid reports the u. S. Is arming groups in crimea that russia views of terrorists. Hello and welcome this is r. T. International broadcasting to you live from moscow with me in. Moscow said its been left chasing its tail and it says has to see the test results concerning the alleged poisoning of kremlin critic Alexei Novell they germanys directed russia to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog but the o. P. C. Wu says it should talk to berlin now the office of russias prosecutor general has requested sweden and france the 2 countries germany had sent to never any samples to shed their findings. With their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything and direct this to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons but weve been to the w several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone we want not when the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves but on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation. Russia insists its doctors found no trace of love a chalk when a valley was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany in order to establish exactly what happened independent tests by france and sweden confirms the presence of the nerve agent because standoff has been looking at the latest control of the seas so rounding the case. Alexina vali is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germanys court moscow current aid the investigation if its kept in the dark on emerging evidence should the press with enough when. All all this aching place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and a far fetched pretext thats hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german armys capabilities too much but only to russias eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations Member States of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian Law Enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose so that france and sweden would automatically confirm berlins unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o. P. C. W. And that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hope on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the or b c w and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesnt really help o. P. C. W. s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bag watchdog of becoming politicized bureaucracy dont you like so Many International commands actions its always good to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the fund it largely funded much largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. To abuse role in interest to go to alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations. Have attempted to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in a independent investigation but there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the scripture case where. It was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what it had to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e. U. Is shutting out russias investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants to no investigation from russia but an immigration waiting admission of guilt. And the latest post on the values instagram accounts or video shows his team searching his hotel room into homes shortly after news had broken he had fallen and severely ill wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the post were passed to the german or thirtys one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of novacek but one of the cocreators of the very nerve agent let it ring claims if it was used in a valley would never have made it to the plane he was travelling on. Valmy wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel that if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller not very toxic doses provokes people contraction in such a way of your person what we were most aligned so could obviously move so even with only very mild exposure it would never be able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we cant see any of the symptoms of poisoning and novacek a not worse to use for this case. Its just that you wouldnt get rid of the devil he would get something he had just simple surgical gloves and thats it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the sides creating a dangerous situation for everyone. And with the fallout from the nevada case calls have been mounting for germany to ditch the no stream to gas pipeline project but the heads of key east german regions have come to the defense also doing such a with russia. One is economically Necessary Force but its also necessary that we Stay Together with the russians its a project that plays a decisive role in the framework of altered energy and Climate Policy and therefore weve come to the conclusion that we want to carry on with it and to those that advocate closer ties with russia i say that the poisoning of Alexei Navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off more stream 2 is the pipeline project which will pump russian gas to germany and then on to other European Countries via the baltic sea when completed and its around 90 percent there now it will double the amount of gas flowing from russia to germany construction began in 2018 but has been halted and number of times with the us and some eastern European Countries lodging that objections or washington slap sanctions on the projects last year let me get risks European Energy security. An example the german port town over as us now it has found itself threatened with crushing sanctions by american senators the locality has been playing a key role in supporting the pipe playing fleet involved in north stream to his construction but it sounds american residents remain defiant in the face of u. S. Pressure. She told them you can sell so getting gas from russia and i dont find it very nice that theyre trying to tell us what to do here. It is a big thing it created a lot of jobs. And the term became a little more significant thanks to it and i want to see very clearly that its really seamless the way the United States is trying to manipulate german laws and european interests to. Come out in time for. Parliament member martin doul believes this severing of economic ties with russia would prove hugely detrimental to the east in germany. Yeah that is a big problem and i think. It also left on the line of the German Government will respect and they play a bit with the existence of the people in east germany because anybody who tries are stronger and russia and these are friendly and these are very productive and i think the central should listen listen more to that and i think its are all the way and especially for the people in east germany and all this region it will be a more bitter effect for west germany. Russia demanding immediate all of this from the u. S. After an n. B. C. News report claimed washington is providing weapons to ukrainian militants in crimea. Unnamed use official speak about their countrys support of terrorist activities in 3rd countries in this case these talks specifically about russia if that is true we demand that the u. S. Side clarify as to whether or not washington has directly or indirectly facilitated the is be you Ukrainian Security services in organizing terrorist attacks against the people of crimea the n b c report itself is actually about a completely different case about allegations that the russians secretly bribe or paid bounties to taliban fighters which killed u. S. Troops in afghanistan moscow has firmly denied that anything like it is possible so the n. B. C. Report cites a number of u. S. Military officials and sources as well some of them are saying that there is no solid proof of that others are confident about the theory and this brings us to the part that really caught the attention of russian officials because down at the bottom of the read one of these sources is mentioning the u. S. Military aid for ukrainian fighters in crimea none the less current and former u. S. Officials have said many cia officers and analysts came to believe a Bounty Program existed they concluded that the russians viewed it as a proportional response to the u. S. Arming of ukrainian units fighting Russian Forces in crimea the source. Of these allegations are still quite murky still try to piece piece of the puzzle together here but we do know the u. S. Has been supporting Ukrainian Military quite openly over the wall tell you what ever since the conflict in southeast ukraine broke out ukraine has been heavily reliant on u. S. Military aid and ill tell you what the latest batch of that equipment thats part of the u. S. Support which is worth 60000000. 00 u. S. Dollars and the one that included javelin antitank missiles was sent in june but this. It was just the latest in the serious of shipments and these shipments were also preceded by non lethal military aid all of this intended for the Ukrainian Forces that are fighting pro Russian Forces in east ukraine the pro q. Of forces in that donbass region they comprise of proper ukrainian troops which is the army and also nationalist battalions but when it comes to climate there is no military activity there the whole principle is under control of the russian army however infiltrators with the ukrainian passports had previously been caught there by Russian Security forces for planning terrorist attacks so in this case some u. S. Support for ukraine to fight the russians in crimea thats a completely different story and thats a real cause for concern in moscow so what about these allegations that russia actually offered bounties to taliban fighters or killed american troops in afghanistan while down going back to these claims about some kind of bribes by some kind of russian secret agents for taliban fighters they 1st surfaced in the New York Times back in june but even the n. B. C. Article that i began with starts with the words of the head of the u. S. Central command who says that he doesnt have any solid proof to back this up for now and if we talk about the russian officials again they were firmly confident that this couldnt be the case at all previously the Russian Foreign ministry surrogate said that russia would never stoop so low as to engage in such dirty tactics. We were accused of relations with the taliban if inducing them to carry out special operations against american troops for financial rewards the taliban fights for its own interests and belief. Yes i think its beneath the dignity to suspect that russia could be behind such things by the way the pentagon had to deny these allegations as there was nothing to back them up and the taliban also said it was completely false. But turned up the lockdowns the israel becomes the 1st country to reimpose all restrictions nationwide as corona virus infections 30 again more on rats coming up after the break. Very mechanisms of neural plasticity that enable stress to get under the skin and to the negative effect on our mind in our body those same very mechanisms can be harnessed for the good so the old resilience to promote flourishing. Democracy is driven domestically not internationally seen efforts by International Organizations and governments to promote democracy in countries like iraq afghanistan see how difficult it is also mentally it has to be reduced domestically because always International Actors need to be in the country 24 sevenths to make a sustainable show so any country in the world thats built a sustainable democracy has to mystically the sometimes of its National Health to mystically. Welcome back. To stem the rising tide of infection rates israels anted a 2nd. And National Lockdown has come into force right at the start of the jewish new year on this thats the last 3 weeks there was long gone down well with an already pandemic weary public hundreds rallied overnight its hell of a vic gainst the new restrictions people held cards claiming the virus is being flown out of all proportion shortly before the new lockdown polis lear filed this report. As well as bracing for an unprecedented 2nd nationwide covered 19 lockdown that will see the next 3 weeks with strict restrictions being imposed now this is a particularly joyous time usually of the year you have the jewish new year on friday night you then have your key poor which is the most holy day of the jewish calendar and you should be thousands upon thousands of people will be in some regard this time that wont happen so a lot of disappointment here amongst the population among the other measures being implemented are no more than 10 people indoors remaining within 500 meters of ones home businesses cannot accept customers and schools and Shopping Centers are to be closed this follows a steady rise in the number of covered positive cases wednesday saw an unprecedented 6000 new cases being reported in one day the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says that these moves are necessary and follow an indepth conversation that he held with the countrys health minister. In the last 2 days we have witnessed another gruesome deaths and the continued increase in the number of critically ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines now there has been a mixed reaction to the new lockdown on thursday night protesters gathered here in tel aviv to demonstrate against the new measures we caught up with ordinary citizens to ask them what they feel is very frustrating. Its killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they dont know what is going on were basically going crazy we cant work we cant go out we cant do whatever we used to do its probably a good thing because cases are rising that the roof so thats what were going to do but i dont think its going to help i expect that infections will go down but that the right back up as soon as the cause or hands honestly it doesnt affect me at all i dont understand why its much of a closure i understand schools some of the stores are closed but where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want i do anything i want people i still see dont wear masks so i really dont understand how this is going to help anything now israel is not the 1st country that during the 1st wave witnessed a decline and is not experiencing a spike in cases the u. K. And france are in similar situations and so we can cautiously say that no country is from the 2nd wave the lockdown were going to place and 2 oclock local time this afternoon people out on the streets right now last minute shopping a lot of activity a head of the curfew its also questionable women again ill be able to report from the studio as this new doctor comes into place. Recall authorities are begun housing thousands of migrants in a new tent city on the island of lost both of the more i count they have been in was destroyed in a suspected arsonist by residents themselves earlier this month. 70 Police Officers in protective suits were dispatched to the island many migrants have been living on the streets since the fire and a number had been refusing to be re housed in the tent camp where police tried to round up the school and 2 from the facility the greek government believes the fire is a sign that secure close due to the only safe option. But the recent force is showing the need to immediately close the disciplined you substance centers for refugees and migrants into great closed controlled centers which will provide humane Living Conditions double fencing secu and francis Surveillance Systems and far safety amaury a migrant camp was the largest Refugee Center in europe however it was severely overcrowded and witnessed a covert outbreak analysts we spoke to believe the situation highlights the failures of europes migration policies. I think mr pitt denies it is the total d failure of europes management of massive migration how many years have with been speaking about problems leads to massive migration in europe over a 1000000 rightly switching to just germany a 2050 what are they doing today are they working are the integrated of the speaking German European Union is not talking about that or not im not even talking about it in france spain other countries were immigration is just a massive problem its there is no policy managed by the European Union and this can occur migrants or jews or burning down their own facilities just shows how bad treatment of this whole situation is by the European Union what is this European Union so we tell people look from all of africa that they could come over and we cant even pay for facilities to rethink this just doesnt make sense its not the 1st time that somalia there until then was completely down to the ground in 5 than 16 out of 80 theyve been many many times where we had fire incidents and actually 7 people died during fire isnt in line at all or so died there from i speak because they were trying to he didnt say that sense so as long as you have the site of the nations new t. V. All the quoting you have to remind maybe that did present there was always going to have a credit so i the time of the 5 year deal with 13000 people are staying in their innocence or that most men fall 2800 we had as many as 20000 people in the something so obviously this is the main risk and nothing is being done by the authorities to prevent that from happening theyve been meaning to then southie there were demonstrations tension say place a very violent place and who is understandable because of the Living Conditions because of the way people about speaking in mean displace. About the russian Opposition Leader has called on the world to stand up for democracy said la last taken off sky i was addressing a human rights session of the human rights of nations which was debating the ongoing crisis in the country. This edition of belarus demands Immediate International attention Peaceful Protesters have been illegally detained beaten and raped some of the protesters have been found dead there also needs fast and reasonable decisions. Its very important to recognize that extended are for democratic principles and human rights is not interfere in internal affairs it is a universal question of human dignity. Minsk has responded claiming the un session amounts to direct interference in the countrys internal affairs it comes a day after the European Parliament that it would no longer recognize Alexander Lukashenko as a legitimate president and bella ruse although thats not discourage his supporters from taking to the streets as being done daily to counter the ongoing opposition protests in the council or the demonstrators are relatively small during the week that we cant continue to see mass opposition rallies and present himself recently claim to glasgow was the 2nd venezuelan quiet doe appointed by external forces. The next phase has begun intense political financial and diplomatic pressure from outside neighboring countries refusing to recognize the Election Results and just what we saw in venezuela they found the bell a russian wider and declared president is not that we are going to join us down broadcaster neil clark believes the west is manipulated into manipulating taken off for its own interests because of the spill before havent really but in venezuela of course when they the west the us and western powers cried through that proxies to topple the government. And when that it looked for a while that might succeed when it did they then turned to plan b. Which was to anoint the socalled Opposition Leader the legitimate leader of that country hed advocation we could actually call this process so thats whats happened this week i think its part of the strategy to deal just to much look at franco by saying that the opposition an Opposition Leader is the president course its legal but its a new step theyre hoping that will follow on from this is that more countries will recognize the leader of belarus the arrogance of this is absolute straw he could be about could it look at genco could say 2017 what we had a very close election in britain who i dont recognize to reason mate as the Prime Minister of britain i recognized dr recording that the election is what it could you imagine the outcry to that this is what the west is doing in belarus thanks for joining us here on r.

Hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered on Peter Lavelle over the last 3 president ial election cycles there is clear evidence voters are attracted to the message of not interventionism and are very wary of foreign wars this most certainly helps trump in 2016 but his time in office is spotty at best now joe biden appears to embrace the same foreign policies as bush and obama i guess nothing really will undo mentally change.
