Russias cost major doubts over the evidence the west claims it has that proves kremlin critic alexina valmy was poisoned with another top nerve agent has aided previously said shed taken a suspect water bottle from his hotel room to germany but it was then tested but moscow now claims it never left the country with more details here saskia taylor. The saga involving russian opposition activists has become even more time gold an Ongoing Investigation led by local russian authorities have conducted so far on 230 interviews trying to get to the bottom of what happened on that plane from siberia to moscow has brought a new turn crucially their findings cause doubt piece of evidence believe it or not a bottle of water that is thought to contain traces of not the child and which apparently led them to the conclusion that if any how deep been poisoned by the nerve agent this was a much talked about bottle in the media and it was initially thought to have been smuggled in by one of these companions a certain marine up check this is something that she herself claimed in an interview but russian Authorities Say that that is not in fact true lets hear from them during the preflight Security Check of maria. Novosibirsk there was no contain is of more than 100. 00 milliliters in volume in her suitcase and backpack including any bottles of water after the check maria paid cheek purchased a 500. 00 milliliter bottle of water from an side vending machine with which she flew to the city of now this seriously challenges the claims made by members of the Anti Corruption fund set up by he say that as soon as they found out hed been hospitalized they returned to the hotel room in which hed been staying and raided it for anything suspicious in fact they posted a video on instagram showing them apparently locating this bottle of water up with not the chalk many have since questions how its possible they were able to so casually handle an object with a deadly nerve agent another revelation from the Russian Investigation concerns the airport which is a plane made an Emergency Landing this is in siberia now the pilot says he put in a request for an Emergency Landing at 8 25 in the morning and 5 minutes later received a message warning of a potential bomb scare this for a short period triggered some one. Henris about whether they would in fact be able to land the plane now this is what russian authorities have to say on that given the appearance in the media of a bomb hoax at the airport to prevent the Emergency Landing of the plane carrying around the investigators are working as additional versions of what happened it has been found that the anonymous message was sent through a server located on the territory of germany germany of course has featured heavily in the story just a quick reminder it was to a bulletin clinic that found it was late to sent and father treated it was also in a german the burra tree that allegedly theres traces of chalk in a filing system found in the meantime moscow continues to ask for thought the information to aid its investigation into that and has sent around 6 requests to germany france and sweden all these developments come as the diplomatic fallout from the story wasnt only on wednesday we heard that germany and france were plotting all proposing new additional sanctions on russia they encouraged the European Community to join them that will be formally discussed next week russia has responded by saying that such language is just not conducive to International Cooperation which is something that it said that its wanted from the very beginning it also added that no matter what happens from now it will simply not be possible to return to business as usual. Unfortunately instead of working together to establish the truth of the facts of what happened to the russian citizens paris and berlin have preferred to politicize the case turn to france and like my or the use of International Platforms we consider this behavior irresponsible and unacceptable so a lot of new information coming in raising some serious questions including in fact whether in fact even what Corruption Fund there has been some dispute about that so its all really quite muddled in a certain way to see how it all plays out. But in this part of the latest major european city to see a return of lockdown measures after it recorded one of its biggest daily covert spikes since the pandemic began it or all of our reports next from the german capital. Strict coronavirus measures are coming back to berlin from the south today until at least the end of the month old restaurants local shops or any other business that would be open late at night will have to shut their doors at 11 pm until 6 in the morning. Coated cases are rising in germany at the fastest pace since made april as europe struggles with a new wave of infection the Health Minister says the new rules a needed because people and not taking the virus seriously. It isnt surprising with a lack of rules it is more a question of where certain rules are enforced and i think there is room for improvement in our beautiful capital city beautiful to be sure but what of germans make of the new measures the windows we want to stop and that we in germany have this freedom democratic basic order again which was always formed the basis for our society i think it being everybody said it was the best choice. Definitely theyre doing the right thing im sure minorities in my opinion this is a disproportionate reaction that we encounter every day in our basic rights such a massive protective measures are more important because otherwise the economy cannot function the chancellor has warned that with winter on the way things may be about to get tough young figured out is that often we learned a lot and did well throughout the summer but we know that more difficult times are ahead of us namely in the autumn and winter months and we see a gradual increase especially in densely Populated Areas we have a number of this rise in the numbers of infections this is of course a reason to be concerned but we also know how to position ourselves towards it with certain measures. But there is a small book dedicated group of germans that dont agree with the chancellor and being out on the streets to vent their upset at corona restrictions. Of parts of germany keeping a close eye on the infection rate and in an island keen on visitors from the capital spreading the virus to them i fear that berlin is on the edge of losing control we definitely dont want to have a situation like in madrid we dont want a situation like in paris where there has to be a complete lockdown. Public life has to be reset to 0 elsewhere in europe brussels has announced bars and restaurants will close as the belgian capital is riddled with corona 107 people tested in brussels returns a positive result the virus is everywhere in the region there is not a single municipality in brussels which is below the National Average though its where restrictions put in place theres also pushback from some sections of society from conspiracy theorists who think the virus is a hoax to those terrified that the measures to stop it spread it will cost them their jobs. 7 while braces for what may well be a wouldnt wave of cove it germany as a whole remains one of only 4 european nations not described by the European Center for disease prevention and control as being at a crucial rate of infection for now at least peter all of a. Sort of head for you will running through wednesday nights u. S. Vice president ial t. V. Debate between com the house and mike pence and that surprise guest who stole the show. Is the threshold at which. Big tobacco realised what they were doing in that they continued to do it big continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that needed them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them and we dont im trying to make is that social media in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing. Seemed wrong. Just dont. Get to seem out of the attic. And engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. After months of living in the shadow of the coronavirus tempers are increasingly becoming frayed over the restrictions being imposed a fight broke out between passengers on a plane in the u. S. Over the wearing of a face mask. The incident started as an argument between a Flight Attendant and a passenger who was only wearing a face shield and while they can be worn on board in addition to mosques they cant be used as an alternative to them when the incident spiraled out of control security were told in the passenger was removed. Ok parker just been looking at how measures to keep people safe during the Health Crisis are now causing frustration. Being launched there were positive reports of how people around the world were dealing with the coronavirus slowdown the italians were singing. The spanish were john saying. He. And the british were giving weekly rounds of applause to the National Health service. Fost forward 7 months and the world seems to be going stir crazy frustrations at the home going restrictions Economic Uncertainty and for surging infection rates have driven some tempest to boiling point and the focus for this is off to those who dont wear mosques. The fall season which i dont think is ok because the top. Not. That i think. You got while the government struggled to contain the virus new hardships have inflamed old tensions in this instance 2 passengers on a u. K. Bus bubbly and physically abuse and apparently asian teenage girl for not covering her face. On. Her ears. The mosque has become a synonymous with the pandemic both as a symbol of protection and also a restriction science supports using the Research Shows they cut down the chances of transmitting and catching corona virus and could reduce the severity of any and. Sections but for some not Wearing Masks means freedom from state intervention that seen few countries get the virus under control with more than a 1000000 dead worldwide protesters across the globe saying whats the point and with almost a year gone since the virus 1st hit the headlines and no end to the crisis in sight its this symptom of pandemic fatigue which has led the World Health Organization to warn its threatening the countrys ability to defeat cope with 19. In such circumstances its easy and natural to feel apathetic and be motivated to experience fatigue we can see not surprisingly that fatigue among those surveyed is increasing it is now estimated to have reached over 60 percent in some cases winter is approaching with its associated colds and flu and the expense of christmas and other religious celebrations a time of joy but also stress this years Festive Season could yet prove to be the governments fail to effectively lead societies against an invisible enemy which threatens to divide as well as conquer a partridge r. T. Love to. The fate of the next us president ial debate hangs in the balance donald trump for refusing to take part after it was announced that his bout with joe biden will be held remotely after the president called covert last week and spent 4 days in a hospital the debate had been due to take place in miami on october the 15th heres how trump explained his decision in an interview to his go to t. V. Network youre saying youre not going to participate you know im not going to waste my time on a virtual debate thats not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate its ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want well that may not be a 2nd president ial debate the 1st and only Vice President ial encounter was held on wednesday night Harrison Mike pence for 90 minutes double quarter went over the highlights with kevin. It was a big change of pace from the president ial debates from last week which looked more like a political circus than anything but this time around there were less aggressive interruptions no doubt both candidates even seemed like they were showing each other a little respect at times but when it came to what what exactly they were debating a lot of it amounted to just attacking or defending the actions of the Current Administration from the very 1st day President Donald Trump has put the health of america 1st whatever the Vice President is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasnt worked if the Trump Administration approves a vaccine before or after the election should americans take it and would you take it if Donald Trump Tells us i said to him that we should take it on not taking the fact that you continue to undermine Public Confidence in a vaccine if the vaccine emerges during the Trump Administration i think it is unconscionable both president ial contenders for the getting only need is the worry is what if something happens to them has to be continuity and one of the top jobs or the will of the top job in the world isnt it and so a lot of focus on the Vice President s and how they might cope if they had to step into the big boobs yeah absolutely kevin in fact no matter who wins this election biden or trump they will become the oldest person to be elected u. S. President in American History and so this debate that we saw was in a way between 2 potential future heads of state in the u. S. But when the moderator posed this question the possibility of a president ial disability depends he just moved in the direction to talk about the corona virus vaccine and then the question was posed to kemal heiress and she started talking about how proud her mom was of her so we didnt really get a clear answer on that sort of policy that wasnt made clear you know the rhetoric wasnt as heated as it was before but still not totally clear with these who were both but there was a gay crush to believe yeah absolutely a lot of people were talking about who won this debate and neither candidate really gave us much to work with there werent even as many insults as in the president ial debate as we saw also. A lot of people on social media are saying that a 3rd party was the fly on my pants. Well to america had special coverage after the debate and swarm discussed the encounter with political analyst. Theres a lot missing here in terms of substance i think there was a lot that was was lacking in this debate look at the political issue that was the centerpiece of the debates coronavirus the coronavirus is an important issue but its not a legitimate political issue because not 2 sides to it theres not a pro coronavirus side in an anti krone virus side but there are legitimate political issues prochoice prolife views on gun control their views on drug legalization should america be the worlds police anymore these are legitimate political issues that are not being discussed because again were letting the media as well and the debates in a way thats just designed to be the most sensational and the most you know quote topical rather than the most politically relevant is a part of the problem of the format of the debate are they trying to cover too many issues would it be better served to have one or 2 things that they talk about the whole night and really go at those issues and quite candidly why do we even have Vice President to have this debate in the 1st place they dont create policy were all very interested in policy and the Technical Details you know but a lot of people thats not the way that they make their decisions about voting and most people are trying to vote on. What they you know with their friends and family like theyre making decisions about ideas that theyve heard about but they dont really know the details i mean we cant expect regular americans to be knowledgeable about all these different vast policy areas even the politicians themselves dont really know all of the details of these different policy areas i dont think its true that the American People are unable to understand the issues i think that the issues are intentionally obfuscated in a way to make sure that the average american cannot weigh in on them perhaps 3 different formats when you have maybe 3 or 4 broad categories that allow for the debaters to get into. Those categories might be important was there a winner who won this debate in pinning one. Well i dont know if there is a winner or not i tend to agree that you know a lot of these questions are really not areas of substantive discussion i think we really cant expect them to get into the details of any kind of particular policies and that theyre really not trying to neither one of the candidates really inspired a lot of confidence. If we had to choose a winner i would have to say that had to be maybe. Only because. Its way to the point i dont think that either debate changed any single voters opinion whatsoever i think that the voters had already made up their mind before the debate i think tonights debate did absolutely nothing and the reason for that again is that the poll opinions were kept out this was a rigged debate ok thats it for me in the moscow newsroom for this hour that whole contest next to a headline story just in the 32 minute. Dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells the bodies on the street many of them underage. Los Angeles Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles there were going to.

Come in crisis with these. We can do better we should be doing better.
