The thursday evening it said here in moscow my names colleen bright welcome to world news from r. T. International 1st for you then russia is accusing germany of using various pretexts to withhold information on the aleksey in a felony case the russian opposition figurehead recently came out of a coma in berlin where hes being treated for a suspected poisoning permanent representative to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog says all requests for data have so far been denied hes been speaking 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 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 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. The 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 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 on a felony has now been discharged from hospital as doctors say a full recovery is possible but the potential long term effects are uncertain russia and germany meanwhile continue to demand answers of a case. In this league. Is not the responsibility of the German Authorities to conduct this to get the crime was committed in russia and thats why urgent appeal to russian side is to comment on the matter. With germany refusing to share samples or in a valley streetman details or later russian investigator talk to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary proclaimers clearly berlin is in no hurry to share all this information although theyre demanding that russia take a needed action to get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding various pretexts to avoid cherry data which russia would 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 germany claims alexina belly was poisoned with a substance from the Group Although the scientists who created the deadly nerve agent are disputing that finding political analyst rana roth 1st thinks the circumstances of the alleged poisoning are still throughout it in doubt. Look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. If it has been applied not 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 last acts 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 get some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because what bring germany and russia closer together it was the. What strengthen both countrys economic elite your politically and therefore there are great geopolitical geostrategic konami interests to stop this. Regional leaders in france are pushing back against the government over a new set of tough coronavirus restrictions a raft of new measures were unveiled on wednesday after a spike in case numbers to give reports next 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 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 in the 2 areas impacted are guadalupe and must 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 did 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 an ants mints. The decisions announced this evening and won them the measure for the people of must see are aimed precisely as protecting them while 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 distribute it is increasing sharply the infection rate is constantly rising we are at 95. 00 cases per 100000 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 co that 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. 1000 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 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 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 for the future. Or israels about to enter a 2nd nation wide shut down the plan was approved at a Cabinet Meeting on wednesday night after the infection rate doubled in a 2 week period reports next from tel aviv. And you measures that are being imposed are women listened to of the lockdown their country put in place back in march that was the 1st nationwide lockdown in what were hearing now from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is that a full lockdown will be in place from tomorrow friday until october 10th he has said that hopefully some of the measures will be eased even sooner now last week we did see the country go into full locked arms it meant that schools Restaurants Hotels were completely shut but people were allowed our doors for exercise or for gathering for prayer meetings or protests now all of that is being forbidden israel is the 1st country in the developed world to be imposing a 2nd lockdown i mean some of. The situation is difficult there is a steep rise we have to take decisions the decisions are tough but as Prime Minister i am obliged to save your lives and you need to understand that there is a danger to our lives and. Thats why there is no choice but to take the difficult decisions and we will save lives with your cooperation. There has been a recent surge in covered positive cases one day so i record high 70000 people being registered now that has been a heated debate in parliament between netanyahu who is calling for a full lockdown and the rest of his cabinet there are those who are suggesting that netanyahu wants a lockdown because its a way to silence history tractors who is asking for complete closure it is not us it is the Prime Minister i hear the Health Professionals say the reason the reason for general closure i want to understand why food garage is recommended. As a last resort and not a solution to demonstrations at the same time this remain locked and mance to an admission of failure by Prime Minister netanyahu it was only a few months ago when he boasted that he was the worlds best Prime Minister at handling the crisis at that time is always one of the 1st countries to seal its borders and impose a lockdown but soon afterwards it was criticized for opening up its economy too soon and the virus returned we now have a situation that every week there were protests in front of the Prime Ministers residence in jerusalem with people calling on the Prime Minister to resign for both corruption charges and for what they say is his mishandling of the whole coronavirus pandemic. Its being claimed that the pentagon spent up to a 1000000000. 00 of coronavirus funds on military equipment including jet engines and body armor congress this year give the Defense Department a 1000000000. 00 to battle coronavirus but Washington Post report claims that most of that money went instead to ship Building Maintenance Army Uniforms satellites drones and even space surveillance of the cash was supposed to be used to address funding gaps in the countrys Coronavirus Response the u. S. Of course has suffered the worst with the worlds highest coronavirus death toll also comes at a time of severe shortages of supply as well the. U. S. Centers for Disease Control says an extra 6000000000. 00 in needed to distribute potential vaccines next year and is also noted a severe lack of medical grade facemasks as well the pentagons not directly responded to the Washington Post story burke has defended the way that it spent coronavirus funds. We are thankful that congress provided or thirtys 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 interrelated in our Industrial Base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine Professor William schaffner says the spending scandal goes to the very top. Obviously we would have preferred those monies go to cope with relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the cold it defense but. On forces was made at a very high level 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 controls so cold 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 purposes are being spent. Here without state republicans in the u. S. Are outraged over a 1000000000 ad Mike Bloomberg fund raising scheme to get felons the right to vote well tell you what about the top of the break. Is your media a reflection of reality.

Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back to Police Officers have been shot in the now in hospital in the u. S. State of kentucky amid unrest in the city of louisville protesters theyre angry after any one of 3 officers was charged in the Fatal Shooting of the africanamerican Briana Taylor in march a grand jury returned an indictment only against a Brett Hankinson accusing him of wanton endangerment of protesters want all officers charged with murder why police are being deployed to the area. Brianna taylor who was 26 was fatally shot when Police Showed up at her apartment to conduct whats called a no knock warrant search suspecting there were drugs inside but fearing it was an intruder tellus boyfriend opened fire on the officers shot back taylor who was unarmed was killed reaction to the grand jurys decision has been mixed. 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 announcement of the grand jury findings 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 gunfire got started and that it ended up going in her direction it is all going to come down on him Law Enforcement 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 to have not always following this all of their power and influence to control their communities to preserve their communities and to demand to see both justice and say over the policing in their area its got show rights 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 to old l. C. Certainly some charge there is a new young black attorney general that has done something theyve given the huge pay out to be out of his family i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this you can sense a lot more going on than what we need to snow. A criminal and paying people to vote in florida its often the 60000000. 00 to vote in the state. The money comes from him personally. More on the story. 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 from when it came to early voting in florida trump shot back at him with his usual style. I thought minimize was through the democrat politics of desponding almost 2000000000. 00 and then giving the worst to move in the debate performance in the history of president ial politics 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 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 who has a 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 of the. Kind of his parliaments back at work off the Prime Minister just introduced controversially suspended it amid scandals tying him to corruption and writing code levels but has done a quarter reports the accusations against trudeau going away. Last month suspended parliament claiming ottawa needed a better Long Term Strategy for cover damage control after all the countrys coronavirus cases are nearly at 150002. 00 handling of the pandemic has been widely criticized. No more than ever comedians are looking for clarity and leadership but what they have gotten from the trudeau government is confusion and repeated delays so its all about the coronavirus right nothing to do with a Corruption Scandal we have a Prime Minister and a cabinet that is golf engulfed in a massive Corruption Scandal for those currently under investigation for nearly 1000000000. 00 contract with an Organization Called d we charity it was paying its family members huge speaking fees for years but the agreement was since cancelled after accusations that it amounted to a conflict of interest no wonder all the suspicions and suspending parliament also puts all current investigations on hold if so gross and disgusting that this Prime Minister keeps using the pandemic as an excuse for his corruption believe it or not trudeau promised never to suspend parliament after his predecessor used the same mechanism called to weasel his way out of a vote of no confidence now the traditions promises broken he had some explaining to do with the purgation we are doing right now is about gaining or testing the confidence of the house which is the opposite of what the conservatives did that we rightly railed against back in 2015 approval rates are tanking the oppositions on the offensive and the coronavirus continues to ravage the country these are tough times for both the canadian people and trudeau thats all from the moscow newsroom for this how can all 247 news alerts by following us on twitter and the doco that other may call a break thanks for watching. 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. Buy i hope people will start fighting. Saying we wont tolerate systems. Streets in our homes that cant possibly track what were doing. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important its accelerating the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay number man a more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely hamas. Because. It. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something all of this must be undone even and im a new mother who says the moves and news to me didnt even and. Understood so going and. Going to. Show seemed wrong. Role just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out this day to come to advocate and in gains from an equal betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. Max kaiser this is a kaiser report you know things are not what they seem. So i said. Well max youve often talked about the me mcconnell 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 intention this is a chart of the corporate Balance Sheets are more knowledge driven s. And p. 500. 00 Company Assets in 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 Companies used to make stuff and they had value terms the factories and their employees and their trade deals etc but now we have a situation that chart shows 84 percent of the value intangibles or the Knowledge Based on knowledge so take a look at tesla for example they must has knowledge about how to go on joe rogan and promote his means he has knowledge about creating means he has knowledge about branding he has knowledge about interesting engineering ideas but the actual book value of the company itself is nowhere near the hundreds of billions of dollars we see in the stock market thats true across the board for every Single Company really in the s. And p. 500. 00 they make their cash flow on the ability to game the system and to exert arbitrage spliffs on the data thats being rolled on the various cash tasks of different banks and like you have on lost so eloquently demonstrated on the joe rogan show so this is interesting use the Word Knowledge because you think about knowledge any think that it has some basis in some kind of foundation of wisdom but this is knowledge about how to use Artificial Intelligence and knowledge about how to use propaganda knowledge about. Do you subliminal advertising that its evil its evil they might as well just replace intangible with the word evil well i dont know about that but certainly it is an interesting time and we do see it you and i grew up in the 1970 so we saw what it was like to have a more tangible economy and that could be part of why so many people are having a meltdown while we are having problems domestically in the United States in terms of the economic disadvantage you know and the inequality growing so you know its not like an
