Government is saying it will look back on its Coronavirus Response despite britain having the highest death toll across europe and seeing a nice hospital admissions plus also on the way the number 2 to us 2020 Vice President ial candidates. Mike pence head to head on wednesday after the 1st debate between donald trump and joe biden was dominated by a blame game and. Afternoon here in moscow you. Will start with those developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure alexina valmy the Global Chemical weapons watchdog the p c w says the traces of a nerve agent from the family have been found in the biological samples representative to the organization has slammed. Until we are given documents materials samples material evidence we will consider all that surrounds this incident an unbridled Propaganda Campaign of lies or simply put a low grade provocation its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country where moscow had sent several requests to germany asking for cooperation in the case but so far that hasnt been forthcoming alexina valley fell ill when a commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in the russian city of arms and was then taken to germany for further care since then no burden is claimed the traces of a chemical nerve agent were found in his test results peter oliver has more on the story the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has published its findings from samples they tested from Alexei Navalny the results come as too much of a surprise to many the o. P. C. W. Found novacek was present in those results in a Detailed Analysis was sent here to germany where berlin has been demanding answers from moscow but using o. P. C. W. Findings as the foundation for allegations is unlikely to sit well in the russian counter so it is in fact even tacit cool story initiated at the behest of berlin by its your atlantic allies together with the leadership of the technical secretary and of dio p c w it has continued in accordance we did preplan conspiracist scenario with the e. U. Council set to meet next week to decide what their reaction to the novell meeropol will be of the German Government demanding serious consequences for the use of a chemical weapon this o. P. C. W. Reports could have far reaching ramifications peter all over r. T. The lives. Of the o. P. C. W. s in the spotlight too for another reason their former chief judge stanley has been blocked from speaking at a Un Security Council meeting my colleague kevin and discussed this with our correspondent saskia taylor. What seems an irony for the u. N. Which is of course the organization its all about putting together International Voices about discussing difficult topics it has barred a former chief of the top you from speaking to the Security Council now were talking about the star and hes a brazilian diplomat he was in fact the fust director general of the chemical weapons what between 10072002 hes really a figure of a great 40 he was invited by moscow to speak on the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma back in 2018 but at the last minute he was essentially disinvited by among others the u. S. U. K. And france russia called this a shame they decided to post was johnny reading the speech he was scheduled to say and they said the following. What happened today unfortunately is yet another sign that western delegations are afraid of hearing the uncomfortable truth you want to silence objective facts that could destroy the picture you have painted of the atrocities of the Syrian Regime and the infield ability of the o. P. C. W. But it is already clear to everyone that it has little to do with reality im wondering if you understand what an unattractive light you know appear in the eyes of the International Community in general what happened today is a shame and a disgrace so. This is what he said but what specifically is it that he said this ruffle these for this you think well he was planning on discuss what numerous whistleblowers cool and cover up all of those events in duma now just a quick recap of the images of civilians at the mouth washing out their eyes so much investigated and they officially blamed assads government this of course that is the basis on which the u. S. U. K. And france conducted strikes but in the following months and indeed years after this a number of former employees came forward and they said we were part of this and. Stations we were on the ground and what we saw doesnt support this official narrative whats even more sensational claim to start in fact any dissenting opinions or evidence was removed from the final report under pressure from the top this is a small snippet of what they say most of the duty to see reports on the instant interim report and the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally regular and possibly fraudulent well lets hear exactly what was stanley said on all of that the serious questions are now being raised whether the independent impartiality and professionalism of some of the organizations work is being severely compromised possibly under pressure from some Member States weve got lots of whether or not this is substance to the concerns raised about the perceived obvious behavior in the do more investigation hearing what your own inspectors have to say would be an important 1st step in mending youre going to say this is the magic reputation morbus tony has previously paid the price for challenging official narratives and what was described by many as an offensive led by washington back in 2002 percent on he was dogged by allegations of mismanaging the w. It was already quite dramatic the u. S. Representative in fact was booed and one of the sessions when he failed to provide documentary evidence to support that claim eventually though the u. S. Prevailed he was removed from the post saying that he with his independent thought had angered a lot of people in washington that they wanted someone more specifically rumors swirled that his that he had somehow blocks the u. S. Is tough stance on iraq while barring the story from speaking almost 2 decades after foreign him comes of course as the a. P. C. Back in the spotlight is involved in this entire political saga regarding alexina vaal me with allegations now that the o. P. C. W. Is why. Holding Key Information on his case many cynics would point out that now of course would not have been a good time for an insider like the star me to reveal that in his i mean all this experience i didnt is not treated secretly within the o. P. C. W. And in fact sometimes it doesnt correlate even with reality. Ok lets turn to the coronavirus pandemic now and in particular the situation in britain at the moment because english hospitals are under pressure again and im seeing the highest daily tally of coded missions since early june it is right on the heels to the revelation that a Contact Tracing app left off thousands of cases and this latest spike the scope of confusion in the British Government does seem to be continuing as well shouted at which explains. And considering the u. K. Governments response to cave at 19 brilliant job probably wouldnt be the words on the tips of most peoples tongues over the course of the year the u. K. Has seen thousands of people dying in care homes tests and tracing deadlines set and missed the u. K. Topping the death toll across europe plus of course britain being on the verge of a round 2 and while most people think the governments response needs to be completely written off it seems as though not everyone agrees its been a failure i think it will be like the lympics thats when its all over and we look back and reflect we will actually be extremely proud of ourselves some people might think a wooden spoon is more appropriate than a shiny metal especially considering the latest news that 16000 positive tests for private 19 have been lost meaning that super spreaders of blindly unaware theyre still spreading foundations of people blissfully unaware theyve been exposed to covert potentially spreading this deadly virus a time when hospital admissions are increasing in the 2nd wave blunder after blunder critics say the governments not learning from its mistakes but as the country hurdles towards a 2nd wave of the virus private confusion is still lingering in the yeah with mixed messages coming from both empower. As i understand it. Apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socializing with other households outside go to work but stay at home eat out to help out but dont socialize kick start the economy but stay in your its no wonder the country is confused especially considering the man telling the u. K. What to do is accused of being a tad confused one of the major problems is widespread confusion about the local restrictions people feel very let down a very frustrated very forgotten can we pin all the primal Boris Johnson ofter all these all around president to times far to go back to all that no Prime Minister has ever fought before a lot of months of economic paralysis Boris Johnson began to im not so locked down even though parts of the u. K. Was still plagued with the virus and so the north south divide found its latest partition the timing of the lifting of National Lockdown was london centric please remember this the next time you see politicians pointing fingers at our people on the eve of a 2nd wave many might think the government would know what it was doing by now especially considering its how to round 6 months to prepare but when clarity has been replaced with confusion can the government really expect people to for the rules when it doesnt seem to know them itself should you ever stop the artsy lunches. Meanwhile coronavirus demonstrations in israel have seen scuffles break out between antigovernment protesters and Security Forces in tel aviv. On tuesday hundreds gathered to denounce the governments anti coronavirus destructions the protesters have also demanded the resignation of israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu i dismiss the governments pandemic measures as a distraction from netanyahu is Corruption Scandal and the Prime Minister himself denies any wrongdoing heres what some of the protesters have to say. Also because the 3000 crisis in order to remain in the sea to avoid it to avoid just. We are afraid of trying to. Create. A civil war between us please please let me get me out so that he she will be there because the. Stealing our democracy hes a. Thief and hes a king that. Is very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or moved away. We get the real thing for ever found paris and its suburbs the cases in migrant shelters is becoming extremely high and with winter coming aid groups are urging the government to provide the most vulnerable with more help have a look at that story just after the break. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being legs. What is true what is great. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Orem even the shallows. Join me every thursday on the alex im unsure when ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Again the reports are coming in of a huge explosion at the western russian city of rise and local Emergency Services say the blast went off near a former military facility it is thought the explosion happened in an old ammunition depo military Officials Say though that nobodys been injured despite this nearby villages are being evacuated as a precaution firefighters are attempting to bring the situation under control although explosions continue to be heard. More than half of all People Living in extreme poverty in the paris region have been infected with kovi according to new findings by the Aid Group Doctors Without Borders reporting from the french capital his shot at the big. The shutters have come down the bars across paris and its in the suburbs all in a bid to fight rising infection rates of close it 19 its an epidemic this been described as moving too fast and while the overall Positivity Rate for qubit in paris is around 12 percent if you look more closely at those who live in but carry a situation such as migrants its said to be much higher Doctors Without Borders that m. S. F. Is now sounding the alarm in what it describes as being the 1st study of its kind in europe it found the Positivity Rate of coke at 19 in emergency shelters and in Food Distribution centers was more than 50 percent the results show an extremely high prevalence the main reason is the conditions a child has and been packed together which leads to clusters of infection in europe and france no other study shows this type of prevalence these types of figures on this scale can only be found in india or in the slums of brazil but that figure showing a Positivity Rate of more than 50 percent is an average m. S. F. Says that in some centers housing Migrant Workers the rate hit 89 percent a worrying number in places where social distancing can be difficult in president michaels address to the nation in march he promised help for the most vulnerable with them on this. I want to ask for sacrifices to slow down the epidemic the aid to the most fragile should not be jeopardized for the most vulnerable the most destitute for the isolated who will make sure they can be fat and protected. So have they been. Forgotten all those people usually. Are forgotten there are a lot of spontaneous camps. Exist there was no special policy for them during do a continuation during dependably to arrive to right or to arrive and we dont know exactly what we can do with. Juveniles and other temporary shelters have long been used as a base when makeshift camps have been cleared when the lockdown began in march here in france hundreds were moved into accommodation like that and that one the idea may have been to offer shelter and to get people off the streets it may have also offered the virus the perfect grounds to spread the results confirm that the circulation of the virus was more particularly effective in the situations where the proximity was the highest that is to say when the person has to share a room kitchen with several other people in places where Migrant Workers are housed together around a 3rd resident share a room with between 2. 00 and 5. 00 people a 5th share a room with more than 5 people in situations like this its impossible to distance m. S. F. Once a change of strategy we knew that this reception conditions would not work that it wasnt possible to respect very measures we have to change the hosting strategy m. S. F. Is submitted its report to the ministry of health its hoping by highlighting these desperate situations that there can be a changing here for those whose lives are currently being held in the balance. R. T. Paris. Meanwhile here in moscow is continuing to make its presence felt over the past 20 days infections have been steadily growing again although they are down slightly today tuesday so on. More than 4000 new cases recorded authorities are growing increasingly concerned over the growing numbers and while theres no talk of a citywide lockdown yet Wearing Masks on public transport and in Public Places too continues to be mandatory and everybody over the age of 65. 00 is also being advised to stay at home. So after growing fears of an all out war between armenia and azerbaijan theres a glimmer of hope for peace thats because armenians leader has now said he is ready to make concessions in the territorial dispute over nagornokarabakh but thats only if the other side reciprocates you don of as more details. The city of to panic at the capital of the nagornokarabakh region has been awoken by the sounds of bombs this morning just once again in fact some people on the ground have told me that theyve been kept away by the sounds of shelling all the way throughout the night but well the resists some very very dim hope that the peace negotiations are not around the corner but at least somewhere in the near future the Prime Minister of armenian it has said that if i say or by john is ready to make concessions that well meaning is 2. Conflicts should be resolved by Mutual Consent no go to look at is ready for it and will make concessions if theres a bush on it is also ready for them this is particularly important after the Russian ForeignIntelligence Service have said that they have information that hundreds if not thousands of syrian mercenaries taking part in this conflict members of one of the groups that they have mentioned in their report are the members of the notorious front and if this is indeed true then this is some very bad news for the region because im not sure a front they are as radical and as extremist as it gets they were formerly known as the al qaeda in syria so theres that and also theyre known to have tortured people to have eggs mass execute their hostages bomb civilian neighborhoods and some even allege they used chemical weapons against civilian population in syria so they really dogs of war at the same time turkey a country thats seen as by many as a main power that has a say as to which way this conflict in the go in a cab back fares turkey is sending mixed signals here for instance the foreign minister of turkey has said that well ankara is ready to work with moscow on resolving this crisis but at the same time he refused to acknowledge the equality of the warring sides when its done. John on equal. Footing means rewarding new york you boy the world must be on the side of those who are right mainly on the side of john and the longer this conflict goes on the most civilians suffer just to give you some perspective here is an eyewitness account from the by johnny side of the conflict. By john is fighting on its own land armenia has occupied as a red johnny lands my ancestors died for this cause as you can see the armenians destroyed my house but i am not afraid of them see i am not afraid of them i can see the war we are not afraid on friday already the russian Prime Minister mikhail machinist and is expected to visit me is capital year of on and here on the ground a lot of people are telling me that they have a lot of hope that this visit will pull the negotiating process out of the bog. Now with the 2020 u. S. Election on the horizon debate season is in full swing and wednesday is going to see the only Vice President ial scuffle it does follow the 1st president ial debate although the 2nd one later this month has been thrown into doubt that after democrat hopeful joe biden said on tuesday that he wouldnt face off with the President Trump if he still has 19 dont quarter takes a closer look now at the contenders and their apparent similarities. Name calling personal attacks emotional accusations American Society is now so deeply polarized between these 2 figures donald trump and joe biden the 20 twentieths Election Campaign is looking more like a political circus than anything im not here to call out as lies Everybody Knows hes a liar theyll never use the word smart with me theyll ever use that word because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i dont. Know your number 2 you know hes putins puppy you are a senator and the worst were as always america has ever. To get any word with this clown its as if many people see this upcoming election as a showdown between good and evil if you like biden hes the countrys only salvation from his racist fascist opponent but if you like trump only he can protect americas new greatness from his senile rival its like a reality t. V. Show where actual policy is absent from the conversation the thing is though if you can get past the rhetoric and the emotion is there really any difference between them from present but all that different from the Obama Administration in which biden was the v. P. Remember the wall trump wanted to build in 2016 as part of his popular promise for a new stance on immigration. Law in penetrable physical tall powerful beautiful southern border wall. Isnt a morality its not who we are is a nation racist sinful democrats quickly attacked as racist and along came the sad pictures of caged immigrant kids with trying to blame for their misery except some of those pictures were from 2014 under the Obama Administration thats right trump actually continued many of the same immigration policies from before in fact ice arrests and deportations are still lower than they were under much of obamas watch lets not forget about the peace promise made on his way to the white house im proud to have the support of the war fighting generals active duty military and top experts who know both how to win and how to avoid the endless wars and echoed obamas 2008 election promises will begin to responsibly we broke to its people and failed to harden peace in afghanistan. And also like obama trump has so far failed to deliver the difference here though is that the former president got a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 even though many of americas. Foreign entanglements worsened under his administration in 2016 trump even campaigned against the interventionist posturing of both parties but we will no longer use American Military might to construct democracies in faraway lands or try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over theres also obamas bloated budget deficit which continues to grow under trub the current president made tax cuts for the rich sure but the economy more or less continued business as usual until the pandemic when the debates come around again though one has to wonder if biden will be as frank about these parallels as hes been in the past the truth of the matter is you war you all know you will know when you all got to what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is its all within the wheel house and nobody has to be punished no one standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change when your only 2 options in an election are so similar in terms of policy perhaps shouting racist or senile is the only way to keep things interesting. One quarter of course in this and thats how the news is looking at a safe os today dont forget there are 17 stories on our website. Others financial Survival Guide i dont buy any im cause im a features. Of the friday as of last summer my ex from the future trucker was kaiser. It remains unclear who will be the occupant of the white house this january what can be predicted is the state of the economy or tens of millions of citizens it appears what is called the recovery is permanently dividing the country and the house and have nots this seems to be acceptable for those who arent.
