Armed groups fighting it as a potentially offensive piece. We hear from the Film Producer we have to fold notification system in place for this particular documentary, and that is word. This is something ive heard of and anger in our media as crowds demand the Prime Minister quits over a peace deal with azerbaijan, that they see as a betrayal. Broadcasting live from our studios, most of this is r. T. International. Im sean thomas. Certainly glad to have you with us. Now, the prominent a kremlin critic, alexina vali, could have been targeted with a nerve agent after leaving russia. That is the claim of russias foreign minister, sergey lavrov. Speaking at an international conference, the diplomat emphasized that in a volley had tested negative for any toxins, while still in the country arties right from national reports. It seems russia has had enough after months of what most go. So as groundless accusations. Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says vali could have been poisoned after he left hospital in russia. Lucy is just the one you belong to you, but we have every reason to believe that what happened to him in terms of Chemical Warfare agents getting into his body could have happened in germany were on the plane and was she was flown to the Charity Hospitals do exactly. How else can the sudden appearance of toxic materials in the vollies samples be explained . He stressed the results were clear when he was in arms. Thats according to russian doctors. We need surely treated him and several russian laboratories. Its only often a volley was taken to berlin that we heard about traces of navi chalk from germany 1st, then friends in sweden despite there being no solid evidence proven it. Russia was very quickly accused of using a band nerve agent and punished with these sanctions quicker and more. There was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent, with a chemical agent and a business related in russia. And therefore, it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion i call on russia to do more to investigate this case. A case such as this must have consequences. The, therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on russias accusing. Now its western partners have been unreliable and is now ready to respond with mirror sanctions. It is difficult for me to understand the motives of our german partners. I already told this to her can muster, and i can repeat, this is not a secret that we see how germany took the role of a leader in the new escalation of relations with the russian federation. There will of course be a response to the saying sions, and since germany was the driving force behind these e. U. Sanctions over the nerve, on the case and sense, these sanctions directly affects high ranking staffers of the russian president s administration. We will respond in kind all russian requests for proof or any lead date, or were poll lightly denied. So i would like to reiterate that we do not expect the bearer of the bad news, namely us to be criticized. It would be better to deal with the news itself. We, have informed the c. W. , an organization that the russian side can approach to ask further questions. , ironically, one, addressing the o. P. C. W. , russia was told to go back and ask germany, which made moscow doubt their organizations motives. I will be blunt, the o. P. C. W. s technical secretary, it is increasingly turning into a tool in the west. Hams, which is being used to exert informational and political pressure on countries that fail to toe the line. This conclusion is backed up by the watch dogs involvement in anti russian campaigns earlier with the script our case. And now with the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy. And now russia says it may consider leaving the o. P. C. W. So the ball is in europes court. All right, some Background Information on the story. Now alexina vonnie is a prominent activist and critic of the russian government. He fell severely ill on an internal flight in russia. Back in august, the aircraft made an Emergency Landing in the city of skin, and a mystery of ali was taken to a local hospital and placed into an induced coma. His samples were sent to several russian labs, and none of them found traces of any toxins. Excuse me, in a volley was airlifted to germany, where he was treated at a specialist clinic in berlin. In early september, German Authorities concluded involved he had been poisoned with another choke, a nerve agent. We discussed the case with a german m. P. The who play and the whole plot on the volley is shaming. Germany is doing a lot of accusations against russia, but is not delivering evidence. And so im very critical to what the handling of that case by did to him and Political Class by the government. And im, im fully with the russian authorities who demand stronger evidence. But for me, my, my greatest concern or my, my most serious concern is to german russian relationship. Especially concerning disc, i guess project and north rim, too. We are in the, in a spiral of sanctions. And i didnt thi, where this might lead to on the one hand we have t. N. Tire russian sanctions, which are seen widely as ridiculous and unfair even in the german public, not in the Political Class. But among the majority of the people, there is no support for do sanctions. And now russian is doubling. Doing take fortec. I understand it, did russia is sick of accusations which are most ridiculous. But if that would lead to 2 new countermeasures against russia, it would be to europe has said of would we want . So its a dangerous game. Top democrats are accusing republicans of wasting the countrys time and hampering the fight against covert by refusing to concede defeat in the us president ial election. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer urged team trump to abandon its claims of voter fraud, branding them nothing more than conspiracy theories. Instead of working to pull the country back together so that we can fight our common enemy covert 19 republicans in congress are spreading. Conspiracy theories. The republicans should stop their shenanigans about an election that President Trump has already lost. Most of the media is toeing in the same line while branding, any reports of alleged voter fraud as misinformation. With more details, heres arties killed. Questioning the us Election Results is tantamount to sacrilege. The media is outraged that anyone would talk about ballot fraud, especially this New York Times columnist. Facebook is absolutely teeming with right wing misinformation right now. These are all among the 10 most engaged on the platform of the post 24 right wing information. So what is this misinformation that he feels is so dangerous and unacceptable and that well, perhaps the reason that this information is deemed to be so dangerous is because those headlines are actually true. And what about this guy . 2nd, pennsylvania u. S. P. S. Whistleblower claims postmaster ordered late ballots picked up and separated. While the Washington Post came forward and said, this is all a big hoax that the postal worker has recanted his story. Well, thats a great journalistic expose, except the postal worker says he has not recanted there to say that i did not read my statements. Head of the Republican NationalCommittee Says they have 234 pages containing the 500 signed affidavits alleging 11000 incidents of potential voter fraud. Now you have a media thats rigging it again by saying were not going to listen to these stories. Were not even to validate. The 11000 incident reports that we have, the 500 affidavits we have across the state. 11000 witnesses is not a small number. Now in georgia, Senate Runoff elections are coming up and another New York Times columnist has this idea. Everybody moves to georgia, you know, in the next month or 2 registers to vote and vote for these 2 democratic senators. Well, in georgia, that is actually a felony. It is illegal to move to georgia simply for the purpose of registering to vote. Only people in georgia with the stablished residency are able to vote. Republicans have a lot of questions about the Election Results that showed joe biden as the clear winner. Now at this point weve got Mainstream Media saying those questions are simply off limits. However, that seems to be making the trump base even more of a bold, artsy, new york change of u. S. President could mean a change for the fate of Julian Assange. The wiki leaks founder is currently in the u. K. Prison, waiting for a courts to decide whether to extradite him to the states and has been charged on 18 counts under the u. S. Espionage act. He is accused of unlawfully obtaining and publishing state secrets if extradited to and convicted. He faces up to 175 years in prison, although pursued by the trumpet ministration. Over the years, democrats including biden, havent exactly been on the side either. Mitch mcconnell, so its a high tech terrorist. Others say this is akin to the pentagon papers where you can, i would argue that it is closer to being in the high tech terrorists. And then the pentagon papers disguise a traitor, a treasonous, and he has broken every law the united states, the guy ought to be. And im not for the death penalty. So if im not for the death and want to do it illegally, shoot the son of a answer for what he has done. He says they are. In fact, the Obama Biden Administration actually prosecuted more whistleblowers than any other the list includes. Chelsea manning who leaked documents to Julian Assange and edward snowden, who lifted the lid on the n. S. A. s mass surveillance programs. However, the Obama Administration decided not to charge asuncion self. Earlier, my colleague neil harvey spoke to us on his former legal representative julian burnside. He Still Believes that the future looks brighter for the wiki leaks founder under a bright presidency. I know that hes revelations about Hillary Clinton affected the democrats rather than the republicans, but in my opinion, joe biden is a much more rational being than donald trump ever was. How would you assess joe bidens approach towards whistleblowers . I know that when he was Vice President in the bomb a president ial year or a bomber had made a big thing about, you know, trying to create opportunities for whistleblowers to encourage them. But actually, the reality was quite different and i, they prosecuted more whistleblowers, i think, than any other ministration prior to them. I still think that robert biden will adopt a rational approach. Mind you, he will not be president of the 4th of january, so i suspect theyre on 4th of january. If biden is ultimately accepted as the president. I think thats going to be a better outcome for a sandwich than it would otherwise be on the trump. Part of the reason why songes in the predicament he is, is because of the leaking of Information Private information relating to the democratic party. By an obviously democrat to think all would be on of goods from the party itself. Its worth remembering that Chelsea Manning received a pardon or commutation from a bomber. And i think the same thinking that lead to that result is likely to influence biden, if he becomes president. And if assad ends up in america, theres talk of the likelihood hed be sent to the supermax prison, which a warden previous warden of not prison said in the face were worse than death being said, its a pretty horrible prospect. And the way Chelsea Manning was treated in relation to the same matters or related matters gives no confidence about the well sounds will be treated. Its a reason why australia has tried in government should come in and help him, but theyve done nothing absolutely nothing to help. And i think we should be concerned about about if hed mistreated, i dont see any leader of the mainstream press. Who is sought to be punished as a result of the publication of the things that the Assad Government still to come this hour. The army and the Prime Minister is under intense pressure over a peace deal with azerbaijan, that many of his people see as a betrayal that started much more after a short break. This is our Teacher National in germany, babies crying like saying entrenched babies would say run. So those are the rhythmic pattern verses. So you know, so where did they get that turns out she looked into it 1st, what was happening was that the babies could actually hear their mothers feet in the room seemed wrong. Will just all get to shape out, just to educate and indeed from an equal trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. Back. This is our team international. Now watching our 2 documentaries come up with risks at least according to you tube warnings. One of our latest reports on the armed activists gaining influence in the us from both extreme left and right has been flagged as potentially offensive. Heres a preview. The biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus the rest of them to the level of civil unrest sparked by the death, george floyd, and the lies of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. What you see here was all you know whats about to happen if you want a war, let it begin with us. Were going to meet these groups and their leaders to find out how far theyre ready to go, to fight for what they believe the stupid for this country. There are different versions of the you tube warnings for that documentary. Depending on language settings, russian speakers are told that the material could frighten or shock for English Speaking viewers, it is branded offensive or inappropriate. And to watch it, you have to sign in to prove your age or me or my colleague jacqueline talked to programmes producer of course, its not exactly the kids content. It is about american radical groups and people who are have really involved in the protest movements that is on the rise, especially in this days and months before the election. But i think in that, in this documentary, there is nothing that is overkill or over the top. And for me, it is really weird and strange why it was flagged and especially the way it was flagged. So we have to fold the notification system in place for this particular documentary, and that is word, this is something unheard of. I think when as we were mentioning there, you actually have to log in. So for me personally, you know, i tried to just open up you tube, google it, and open it up and look at it. And it said you have to sign in. I dont have a youtube account, which means that certain people are not going to be able to access this movie. Whereas i looked at what i just searched in youtube for one of the groups that you said was in the film, the boogaloo boys. Theres plenty of documentaries of news stories about this group where theyre talking about their doctrine where theyre standing there with guns. 5 and you think it would be about the same thing . Is that the sort of content thats in the movie, its these men talking about their beliefs . Pretty much so. So yeah, we spoke to the members of boogaloo movement. These are heavily armed guys who are not afraid to come out to protest, although none of them are criminals of flaws in, in that any possible way. So its not that we were talking with, you know, bad people or criminals know they are just regular citizens, but they are having involved in protests, but its not against the law. Right. In the u. S. Would you say that anything they spoke about would have been considered radical . I wouldnt say so. Some of the things that they were are quite disturbing if you think about it, because they were talking about the looming civil conflict in the us about the deep division and polarization that is taking place in the country about the probable outcome, the revolution, whatever that means but its not that they were getting into any kind of specifics and we have we have a special waiver for the film saying that just watch out guys. There are disturbing content. So we told radio now instead to your audience, we have contacted you tube to explain why it flagged the program. We will bring you any response if we get it. Independent journalist gave us his view on the way the videos are being censored on the major Online Platforms just as crazy as come last too far before. Busy as you say, i mean if you put a blur or immunity, almost a still or a traitor at the office, it was stopped immediately. No problem. But now they venture into political world. There are other things that you can say that you cant, especially if it comes from our t. V. It comes from russia. Everybody knows that tome, every american, this an Assault Rifle and a submachine gun. In the cupboard. There are too many weapons in america. And when you have hot heads, all the latest on the right, you know, in the streets, ready to fight each other. Its really dangerous for the moxie, and this must be shown so that the people who rely on america is going to jump the gun. So it was certainly a very young who are doing the job of selecting what is good or bad. I dont know really about all this relatively new to politics, to the all time politics or maybe they dont really know what they do. It is just the beginning of censorship own being put in place in america, especially for russian news. Outraged, armenians have branded their countrys new peace deal with azerbaijan, a betrayal. For the past 2 days, the capital yard ban has been gripped by unrest with protesters calling for the Prime Minister to resign. Crowds amassed outside the parliament throughout thursday they were met with a heavy police presence. Multiple arrests were made. We spoke to locally based reporter joe theyre back in Freedom Square today in your run of that event for the opera house. The scene of yesterdays protests where there was rather a clash between rightly and protests. Around 2000 character through here today, 3000. Similar probably a bit more crowded with a bit of the 3rd quarter of part just across the city outside b. And if thats the national story, Security Office is not Flood Parliament itself. Just some commotion behind me is riot Police Arrest this person protesters. I believe there was a couple of arrest just as a protest finished and it seems to be carrying on behind me were purchased. And it is largely organized by opposition parties, although only 2 of them are in power. The 17 parties who is called on the protests and called for the Prime Minister nicola passion and to resign since his speech was made on monday with the by john mccain 3. Mr tourist, why these protesters, he was not able to make it up as a petition on police trying to approach her to try to restore to the primary that is not with us tonight. Thats for sure. And to tell you about tomorrow. It looks like its still kicking off tonight. Meanwhile, Russian Military helicopters have landed in one go to. As part of a peacekeeping, contingent has sent almost 2000 troops to the area to monitor the cease fire. And they are now guarding the key routes linking the box to armenia. So far, 6 temporary observation posts have been set up under the new treaty, azerbaijan will hold on to its military gains. Plus our media is obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month, russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces. While a Prisoner Exchange will also be implemented as well. For more analysis on the situation, we can now cross live to speak to professor of Political Science and international relations. Dr. Thanks for being with us here on r. T. International. Now you very much. The deal is clearly not winning the support from the people in armenia. Does this suggest to you that the agreement is ultimately doomed to fail . I would not say dot. I think this is definitely the agreement does all for. 5 political window for building a political process surrounding it. At the same time though, it should be noted to dot to this person, to killer agreement. This was a deal. Its definitely, it did to marge, it was not from a deliberative process that we can all describe this as a negotiated settlement, which is one way were how conflicts end this did emerge, consolidated, essentially, the military winds of azerbaijan and turkey on the ground, on the battlefield. So it simply really sealed what was on the battlefield. Again, on the one hand you dont force creates an opportunity, its ending. The war is violence that put an end to the violence, which is very important. But its definitely falls short of building a Peace Process that can last and i can go on as to why, what are the shortcomings of this agreement in order to prevent a future outbreak . Is there anything to suggest at all that the people of armenia can actually be one around to the deal . Can you repeat the question please . Is there any way to suggest that or that we think that there can be any way that the people of armenia can actually come to support it . Is there any form of persuasion that can be used . I think obviously obviously the absolutely. I agree, i think the communication is really critical. I think the pressure on young government amounts to communicate what are the peace dividend that will come from this right now. However, and here i think russias role is critical as well. In terms of how the peacekeeping forces will be structured, for example, every, any Peace Agreement for each to gain public support. There, there has to be security issues, need to be addressed. Corridor that is proposed in the agreement linking john and have on with, by john a proper it is presented as a core, a door unlocked a region. However, too many are, i mean, its understandably just also looks like a huge security threat. A prelude to an extension of armenia south by russia, by turkey, or by john and the fact that russia has a c. S. T. O. And security provisions took a beating. I understand us to the way completely understand how russia behaved the way it did. But at the same time armenian are fearful that the corridor will amount to an extension. So it does come down to communication. It is important to engage civil society, to structure, explain what you can, what are, what is a promise . But a lot of the issues are not negotiated yet. There needs to be a political process. So i would hope that russia will now using this political space that is created will work, will bring in the group in clarifying building Peace Processes that meet the security needs of the armenian community. Our dr. Thanks for being with us here on our 2 international. Interesting to hear thoughts and help us kind of grasp this very complex situation just a little bit better. Thanks. Youre most welcome. All right, that does it for me that ill be back in, lets say, 32 minutes with another for a fresh look through art international. Their personal soup will show their sleeves posts. Sure. What to do w. Club or was it your choice board . It doesnt actually matter the age to put have been murdered by you got to go with us because all of those who do use the bunkers, those stories could be game we will see in the league of these with it would seem more serious, but it is the most severe, some of it is in your speech coming off the news, the in the 20th century was thinking or of revolution, the Great Depression and world wars, the 21st century of mental illness. Those arent my words. Thats what surfaced some psychiatrys to tell us. The only question is, should we accept it as a fact . What does the Election Results to date tell us about the state of american politics . There was no blue wave. Instead, there was a red ripple instead of calls for reconciliation. There are those looking to punish trump supporters. One step forward 2 steps back as all those on the bull, but at least nationally big city, bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers because of the risk that the blight of atlanta. Its also a city where up to 300000. 00 crimes are committed every year for the last one, but it will be your most still through the reserve least one police officer, effectively 200 residents in russias capital lost on the english. But they have a right to me that they will not go with the wind up boysen along with the muslims. You know what im to most like, why does someone do that . Right . Thats what everybody wants to know, and theyre liable to happen to you that i want to know is playing well as that was played with. Because i think most people would like to think i would like to think to myself like i would never do that. But did you ever say to yourself, damn, why did i tell these lies . Why
