As protests following the surprise inauguration of president alexander look. For a good day for moscow when i was kevin owen here at the will do center with the latest this 1st perlin is refusing in every possible way is the obligation to respond to moscows requests for information on the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy its the claim from russias permanent representative to chemical weapons watchdog the o. P. C. In an interview to r. T. The Russian Federation has been waiting for answers from our german colleagues the general Prosecutors Office has sent 2 requests for Legal Assistance unfortunately we have not received any answers there were various explanations from the german side firstly there were references to National Secrets the germans said they were afraid of revealing secrets and german technologies during our specialists acquaintance with the results of the analysis in a boon to swear laboratory. Then our german colleagues started talking about the necessity of the prior approval of look sane of all news relatives after that they referred to in a volley himself all in all the germans have delayed the response in every possible way through deliberately delaying the process impeded the completion of the preliminary inquiry in russia that was held in order to ascertain whether there is an offense or not and then to start an extensive investigation into the case that dealt with the russian citizen on russian territory. Its like a vicious circle on the one hand german officials said that they were ready to refer the case to the o. P. C. W. And the case becomes a multilateral one on the other hand the o. P. C. W. Claims that they will not share the information without the consent of the germans that is why we have taken some measures weve sent a letter to germans Permanent Missions to the o. P. C. W referring to article 9 paragraph 2 we requested the german side to provide us with comprehensive information on a whole range of questions relating to involve these case we are talking about test results biological and clinical samples and everything connected with this case german colleagues are required to respond within 10 days the countdown has already started so of all these now been discharged from a hospital in berlin with medics saying a full recovery is possible while still not commenting on any long term conditions russian in germany meantime continue to try to accusations and about says over the case. It is not the responsibility of the German Authorities to conduct an investigation the crime was committed in russia and thats why urgent appeal to russian side used to comment on the matter. With germany refusing to share samples or in the familys treatment details or later russian investigator talked to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary procedures clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although theyre demanding that russia take a mediate action he would get the impression the germans are still in for time in finding various pretext to avoid sharing their data with russia we believe this is all being done to support the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify in the balinese illness any such claims are lice. Political analysts rain across some in the west to using the Development Case to achieve political goals. We look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. If it has been applied never only what have died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so its not really likely that novacek really was in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media narrative for me its more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds of the anglosaxon and the u. S. American powers are in panic about the fact that the north stream to pipeline is about being finished quite soon so they need to give some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because it would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries economical legia politically and therefore there are great great geopolitical geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. Because the case is on the rise in france the governments tightening measures in the most affected parts of the country but the attempts to contain the spread of the deadly viruses sparked outrage from local governors shela do bensky reports from paris. Well the Health Minister in france has outlined new restrictions which sparked this war of words on social media between himself and local officials what he announced on wednesday evening is that 2 departments in france we placed into a maximum alert zone that means that from saturday for 2 week period a limited period were told there will be a closure of bars and restaurants people wont be able to go out to some public spaces and the 2 areas impacted are guadalupe and mar say now we know that restrictions have been divisive people have been unhappy about them in the past but nobody nobody could have predicted the fear is reaction by mark sayes own mare i was astonished and angry with the decision the city of massey did not consult anyone nothing related to the Health Situation can justify this announcement i do not accept the fact that we are the victims of political decisions that no one understands well other elected officials were equally as angry with the president of one of the local regions impacted describing this as being collective punishment but the Health Minister hit back and said that he did consult with the local officials before making those announcements. The decisions announced this evening and won them the measure for the people of must see are aimed precisely as protecting them well all the Health Indicators are very degraded not so says the regional president 2 says that a call from the Health Ministry in the moments before these restrictions were announced did not constitute a consultation and he has argued that these decisions were taken unilaterally by the french government now other restrictions have also been put in place for areas such as here in paris paris is now on an enhanced alert area which means that from monday next week buyers will have to shop by 10 pm in the evening theyll be a restriction on gatherings no more than 10 people gathering together in public settings and we know that sort of large scale events like protests where they were allowed to be around 5000. 00 people that is now going to be limited to 1000 people and the local authorities have the right to impose stricter restrictions if they wish to do so this is because the Health Minister said that the situation across the current tree is deteriorating rapidly that if you disbelieve you it is increasing sharply the infection rate is constantly rising we are at 95. 00 cases 4100000 inhabitants we must take additional measures it is necessary. France has been using a color coded map to show the rates of transmission of 1000 thats pretty much been a green yellow red traffic light type of system but now the red zones have been split into subcategories and if you look at that map now most of the country is in shades of red suggesting that there is a high rate of transmission of covert 19 lets not forget that france is carrying out around a 1000000 tests every week so that rate is likely to go up but whats concerning the officials is the fact that in the last week there have been 3 days where more than 30. 2000 new cases have been registered and in addition to that hospital admissions have gone up by double to around 1000 and we know that hospitals in france are under strain the Health Minister is people to abide by the restrictions so continue social distancing wear a mask wash our hands and knees even suggested that people should quit tale some of their social activities restricting that all in an effort to try and be the transmission of this virus but as weve seen huge areas of france including last say already now in this maximum alert zone and other departments will be looking at the figures and wondering when they are going to slide potentially into that category and face their own mini restrictions and lockdowns but the feature sure lubell secure the picture of france meantime across the channel in britain the number there of daily reported covert cases rose by a quarter on wednesday the governments continuing to impose new measures to curb the spread and senior medics also now calling on all people to get the flu vaccine the latest study shows if a person is infected with both flu covert the risk of death increases by 6 times doctors now are also asking the public not to dismiss the risks of flu on its own as it takes approximately 11000. 00 lives every year we discussed the issue with doctors to the car. What we know from and with the data is what we have is people whove got onto like Health Conditions have a significantly higher risk of contracting 90 and the flu virus and hidden stats why we as g. P. s and the government is encouraging people who are actually risk to come in and take up the feat backs a nation so that we can limit this rate and reduce debt as much as we can and that use the transmission of this virus in the community this is going to be uniquely challenging when tough because weve got boys the flu and 900. 00 unfortunately both have led to the similar symptoms due to which people might find it difficult to differentiate between them so its all the more important for people to observe the social distancing guidance and by no means just take close to 900 of flu vaccine at night. 2 Police Officers have been shot in the know in a hospital in louisville kentucky amid unrest in the city protesters are angry after only one of the 3 officers was charged in the Fatal Shooting of an africanamerican Brianna Taylor in march. But a grand jury returned an indictment only against Brett Hankinson accusing him of wanton endangerment but protesters one of the officers charged with murder riot police have been deployed in the area where the taylor a 26 year old black woman was fatally shot in march by louisville Police Officers police were serving a search warrant at her apartment at the time to look for drugs for an intruder teles boyfriend opened fire while officers shot her in the middle of all this taylor was unarmed was killed we got opposing reaction from our guests. Theres been a lot of talk in the news about the case with a lot of very wrong facts and today for the 1st time the right facts were explained by the attorney general of the state of kentucky in a legal setting making a legal grand jury finding the police were returning fire on a bad guy who fired at them 1st knowing they were Police Police do have the right to defend themselves in the course of trying to apprehend criminals who fire at them 1st they have the right its even specifically laid out in state law in the state of kentucky if theyre fired during the course of their work theyre entitled to fire back if only to defend themselves and that is what they were doing and in the course of that selfdefense Briana Taylor was struck but its definitely mr walkers fault not the polices fault that the gun got started and that it ended up going in her direction it is all going to come down on him Law Enforcement who works for the ruling and so when its you dont want to punish your own employees to implement your agenda thats one number 2 my black reticences have not always pointed its all of their power and influence to control their communities to preserve their communities and to demand them see both justice and say over the policing in their areas if they see got choice a lot of times these people go on to the. Riviera and say its Certain Police departments people get paid money and they get money when they kill people like what used to happen soledad also certain nice theres some charge there is a new young black attorney general that is done something theyve given the huge pay out to be out of family i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this. This is a lot more going on than what you need most know. Its my day 14 moscow time coming up in the program live with us by the way today this floridas attorney general wants a probe into democrat Mike Bloomberg paying off the fines the state can vote. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics. Im show business ill see you then. Police have fired water cannon and made more than a dozen arrests as a new wave of protesters hit the streets of minsk where hundreds turned out to denounce the better option president the situation flared up after alexander look at his surprise inauguration ceremony which took place earlier than planned. Theres a heavy Police Presence earlier in the day and some clashes in the capital several demonstrators were injured dozens were arrested the unrest has been simmering now from a 7 weeks since the disputed election with people calling it to resign have also been counter rallies in support of the president and the rival groups past each other at times on the streets because opponents carried to red and white flags while government supporters held red and green ones to Senior Correspondent for gowns they have. Been following both rest and the police response. Very tense now police have just fired water cannon behind us theyre still firing what the cabin is a line of policeman now trying to remove the demonstrators from a Central Square here in minsk hundreds of people 2 perhaps a few 1000 gathered just behind me and literally a few minutes ago police began pressing need on them we saw a number of people detained at this season unsanctioned rally the government had ruled that this isnt an unsanctioned rally they had cooled on the demonstrators to disperse but passions are high here there is there is theres a lot of anger among the protesters many of them refused to leave and now theyre being chased by police again they just fired would take out an ad to protest this earlier today of course what sparked it all was the surprise though gratian of the better russian president Alexander Lukashenko there was no great for a seat president ial cub came as a complete surprise there was a new warning this new hint that it would happen people only learned that he had been a new great as he was giving this speech as he as he was giving a speech thanking his supporters saying that the the revolution in ukraine colored revolution in ukraine had failed in the better russians by electing him as. Their president again that protected their freedoms their independence and peace. On the solemn day the president. With a lot of pride for the russians who has lost with the owner of. The day of victory. The president of the country defended our values our peace our sovereignty. And we still have a lot in the north. Theres been a very strong reaction both here in belarus many of the protesters wearing crowds people crowds to. You know gratian of president many people very unhappy that this has happened they had called for and wanted fresh elections including the opposition which is a council a council to oversee a new elections and to make sure that president who is deposed many of their members ended up seeing belarus for europe the European Union which has taken a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we had senior officials in the in the European Union say that they arent meddling or interfering what theyre doing cant be construed as foreign interference into the Domestic Affairs of better us rather that theyre doing the right thing by supporting the opposition supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling this meddling but weve also seen condemnation today especially several European Countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they wound recognize the you know gratian of president you could shake of that it was a farce and that hes no longer legitimate president. There was new for democratic. Leader is no democratic legitimacy for the ceremony that took. Any. Such a farce forged elections forged integration the former president bill or was does not become less former quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that this entails. Inaugurated today has no legitimacy to lead his country he is responsible for president ial elections in belarus free of fair slovakia stands with citizens of belarus. In fact look i shant just retired that means his orders to state power structures are no longer legitimate and cannot be executive i said plant a house cat and the only leader elected by the belarusian people and our task now is to build new belarus together. A little earlier several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they were blotting away they were running away they were being charged by police with battens the police had warned them that they should disperse this this was an unsanctioned protest but many of the demonstrators didnt move they chanted for president lukashenko to leave police begad deploying want to get into trucks spraying water protesters and now most of them have fled their square bad news is empty for all but police. There are saying earlier this week the European Union failed to agree on sanctions against a list of 40 by the russian officials accused of Election Fraud and violence against protesters but journalist in Eastern Europe specialist martin summers told us he believes the western pressure is set to continue and could push closer to russia. So much is on the only question could we probably be agreed at some point that the that it wont change his position or more of probably do is push him more towards. The Russian Federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a course between the needs of the Russian Federation and the demands of the west impose on of course the local poland Baltic States ukraine very hostile to lucas and co in butler us you could say youve gotten a holdover from the from the soviet era were lots of the soviet well 1st states has essentially been preserved and that is the reason wally he says hes won the election this election and the previous 5 elections and of. Position i wouldnt be prepared to stand down just because a minority thinks that he got to go. With election day growing ever closer in the United States the battle for voters in full swing then and now billionaire Michael Bloomberg is being accused of influencing the outcome in florida a key state in the race to the white house and his actions have even drawn the attention of the states and attorney general is kind of mopeds and finding out. Elections in the United States are supposed to be about testing popularity candidates appeal to the public with their ads their speeches and their platform and then the public determines who they like the best its supposed to be democracy in action money is supposed to have nothing to do with it critics of the United States often point out that the reality is quite different rich people often have a way of asserting their agenda take the latest example of former new york city mayor Mike Bloomberg hes a billionaire and hes putting up 16000000. 00 to help pay the court fees of black and brown voters in florida who happen to be convicted felons now the former new york city mayor says he is just being generous no political motivations here whatsoever the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no american should be denied that right working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition were determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it well it just so happens that the courts in florida have ruled that people with felony convictions are not allowed to vote until they have paid off their court fees and fines now until recently they were forbidden from voting for their entire lives so it looks like a lot of black and latino florida residents who have felony convictions are going to get a nice check from mayor bloomberg to make sure that theyre able to vote at the polls this november it just so happens that overwhelmingly black and latino people disapprove of donald trump and his presidency so republicans in florida say this pretty much amounts to bribery i will be calling on the Florida Attorney general to launch an investigation into Mike Bloomberg for potentially an gaging in bribery in vote buying in the state of florida bloomberg does not care for donald trump he has laid out cash in florida to maneuver against him before bloomberg recently spent 100000000. 00 in the hopes of beating trump when it came to earl. The voting in florida trump shot back at him with his usual style i thought maybe mike was through with democrat politics have to spend an almost 2000000000. 00 and then given the worst and most debate performance in the history of president ial politics booker home the end of his political career and 1st question over. No republican has taken the white house without florida since 1924 its the biggest swing state in the Electoral College margins there can be razor thin think about bush v gore back in 2000 in the 2000 election it came down to just a few 100 votes between the 2 candidates so giving the vote to 32000 convicted felons that could make all the difference it amounts to bribery i mean basically bribing people to vote in a certain way and that is clearly against the law in the United States its very hard to bring criminal charges against somebody fantastically wealthy as bloomberg because somebody like bloomberg will hire the best lawyers in the country to defend him and no government no federal government those government will want to bring charges against someone whos going to hire the best lawyers against any prosecution so its unlikely that very much will come of this but i think there is a lot there to investigate i mean its a its a very dubious activity and you can imagine that if trump a done anything like this there would be huge scandal of. The new. More programs in your part of the world quick break another for me kevin though enough a great day. It was a very nice throw from president. And i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said ill take it and now its time to introduce. Mr dont travel thank you susan very much for the. Name whatever you want to name i mean i dont know how would i come that news thats what our combat or recorder or network thats totally dishonest c. N. N. Is. 100 percent negative. Change fails changes so for sometimes ill say thats going to be a great story be a pretty good report another as good as you. Will see what happens. Who knows what well see on the field will be a success. Its going to be hard to reclaim freedom and were going to have to work at it but as people recognize from examples like. What repression Digital Systems need to. I hope people will start fighting. And saying we wont tolerate systems. Streets in our homes that cant possibly track what were doing. Max kaiser this is a kaiser report you know things are not what they seem so. Well max youve often talked about the me mcconnel me and the you know the economy getting ever lighter and lighter there are more and more intangibles and this is shown in this chart 84 percent of the s. And p. 500. 00 assets are now in 10 jubals this is a chart of the corporate Balance Sheets are more knowledge driven s. And p. 500. 00 Company Assets and trillions of dollars and as you see the tangible part of companies they just increase slowly since 1075 when 17 percent of a companys assets were intangible back in 1075 and now its 84 percent
