Is refusing in every possible way to respond to requests for information on the alleged. Claim at least from russias prominent representative to the chemical weapons watchdog. In an interview to. 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 german 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 these 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 the 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 yvonne 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 all of ali has now been discharged from the hospital and by land with medics saying a full recovery is possible while still not commenting on any long conditions russia and germany meanwhile continue to trade accusations and also 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 talk to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary proclaimers clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although theyre demanding that russia take a needed action will 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 valleys illness any such claims are lice and geo political analyst writer all 1st believe some in the west are using that of all the case the political goals. We look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. If it had been applied never any would 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 each year politically and therefore there are great great political and geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. With covert cases on the rise in france the government is tightening measures in the most affected parts of the country attempts to contain the spread of the deadly virus that sparked outrage from local governments shouted reports from paris. Well the Health Minister in france has outlined it 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 weve placed into a maximum alert so in 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 in the sense mints. 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 there will 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 distribute it is increasing sharply the infection rate is constantly rising we are at 95. 00 cases bru 100000 inhabitants we must take additional measures it is necessary. France has been using a color coded map to show the roots 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 coded 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 tail some of their social activities restricting that all in an effort to try and be the transmission of this virus but as weve seen 2 areas of france including marsay 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 for the feature. Rhythms number of daily reported covert cases rose by a quarter on wednesday the governments continuing to impose new measures to curb the spread of senior medics are calling on all people to get the flu vaccine because the latest study shows have a person is infected with both flu. The risk of death increases by as much as 6 times and doctors now are also asking the public not to dismiss the risks of flu one and so as it takes approximately 11000. 00 lives each year we discussed the issue with dr so unique our. What we know and with the data is what we have is people whove got like Health Conditions have a significantly higher risk of contracting close to 90 and the flu virus and stats why we use g. P. S. And the government is encouraging people who are actually risk to come in and take up the backs in nations so that we can limit this rate and reduce debt treat as much as we can reduce the transmission of this virus in the community this is going to be uniquely challenging when tough because weve got boys the flu and 19 and unfortunately parents have relatively similar symptoms due to which people might find it difficult to differentiate between them so its all d the more important for people to observe the social distancing guidance and by no means just 19 of flu vaccine at night. Taxpayer funded care package that at the pentagon for mosques and swabs the code was apparently funneled into the hands of private defense contractors thats according to a new report to congress this year gave the Defense Department a 1000000000 dollars to battle the coronavirus of that money seems to have gone instead into ship Building Maintenance on the dress uniform fabric as well as satellites drones and spy of surveillance world of the cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the countrys Coronavirus Response would be United States suffering the worlds worst pandemic writes well this comes amid serious. Shortages in the country and the center for disease controls warned that an additional 6000000000. 00 would be needed just to distribute vaccines next year though the severe lack of high spec folks were asked pentagon officials though have defended their move insisting that National Defense comes 1st. We are thankful that congress provided offshore a. T. s and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in Domestic Production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and National Security a very tightly into related and our Industrial Base is really the nexus of the 2 we asked new yorkers what they made of the scandal and bernie was not surprised i dont think given money body armor more. So you can be. To whats going on people want the priority of money and the government is the priority it always has been and i think. As citizens were just realizing these things are being misled and finding out that funding is going towards at least that are necessary and that will benefit people is not its part of being an american professor of preventative medicine William Schaffner told us the spending scandal goes to the top levels of power. Obviously we would have preferred those moneys go to cope with relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on copa defense but. On forces was made at a very high level d clearly the diversion of these falls from the Public Health programs of the United States is very misguided i would think that the appropriate congressional committees would do an investigation to find out why this happened and to correct this if a 1000000000. 00 was misused we had better look to the rest also to see how those monies were expended the distribution of the vaccine is going to be our next major effort here in the United States to stop or to d reduce control so cool that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of the United States has to hold the executive branch to account they have to be absolutely. Very attentive to how these monies allocated for good purpose are being spent. Going up in the program floridas attorney general wants a program to believe democrat Mark Bloomberg for paying off the fines of state funds so they can live with any more off the break. Theres a culture war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a precarious state millions of people live on the margins the only constant for them is insecurity economists debate conventional recovery they speak of the you and you know. Is the reality. That it. Seems wrong. To seep out the attic. And indeed. The trail. When some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back the 2 Police Officers have been shot on an Island Hospital in louisville kentucky amid unrest in the city protesters are angry after only one of 3 officers was charged in the Fatal Shooting of an africanamerican Briana Taylor in march. I a grand jury returned an indictment only brought accusing him of one in danger months just as though what the officers charged with Murder Police have been deployed in the area. Brianna 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 to look for drugs fearing intruder boyfriend opened fire while officers shot back taylor who was on armed was killed we get 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 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 one for smith who works for the ruling and. You dont want to punish your own employees implement your agenda thats one number 2 my black friends insist to have not always showing this all of their power and influence to control their community. And to demand to see both justice and say over the policing in the area if they see got choice a lot of time since people go on. The riviera and sets Certain Police departments people get paid money and they get money when they kill people like what used to happen. There is some charge there is a new young black attorney general that is done something they 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 what. You need this no. Police fired water cannon made more than a dozen the rest as a new wave of protests hits the streets of minsk where hundreds turn out that out to the but a russian president this is roshan flared up after Alexander Lukashenko 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 and dozens were arrested the unrest has been simmering for almost 7 weeks now since the disputed election with people calling to resign. Will have also been counted at rallies in support of the president as well the wobble groups passed each other on the street because opponents carried red and white flags while government supporters held up red and green ones. I. Earlier this week the European Union failed to agree on sanctions against the list of 40 but a russian officials accused of Election Fraud and violence against protesters journalists an Eastern European specialist martin summers believes the western pressure will continue and could push look at shango closer to russia. So much is on the only question could be probably be agreed at some point the but it wont change his position a more of probably do is push him more towards. The the Russian Federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a middle 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 that 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 of i will see him in that position i wouldnt be prepared to stand down just because a minority thinks that he got to go. With the election by a growing ever closer in the us the battle for votes is in full swing and now billionaire Michael Bloomberg is being accused of influencing the outcome in florida a key thanked in the right to the white house his actions have even drawn the attention of a thanks attorney general caleb moore has more detail. 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 early. Voting in florida trump shot back at him with his usual style i thought minnie might was through with democrat politics after spending and bone 2000000000. 00 and then given the worst and most in that debate performance in the history of president ial politics. And of his political career on 1st question over save new york city instead 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 as 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 State 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 a huge scandal about. U. S. Doubles down under all the sanctions plus the pentagon used Pandemic Response cash to buy it more weapons all that and more emotional talks come up in just a few moments time were backing off an hour with the latest.

Action speak louder than words its an old expression but just as true today as it was over 280 years ago when it was 1st coined back in 1736 especially when observing the actions of our great political and military leaders here in washington d. C. You see while most elected officials and military leaders will tell you that the protection and defense of the American Public and the citizenry is their number one top top top hippity top priority their actions show us otherwise especially when it comes to the pentagon and our lustrous War Department the Washington Post and others are now
