By the way watching r. T. International thanks for joining us. The German Government says that it has confirmed that russian Opposition Leader alexina valley was poisoned by a nerve agent belonging to the navi group it comes to weeks after the activists fell ill on the flight to moscow before being lifted for treatment at a hospital in central berlin lets go live to the our correspondent based there is peter of all of these covering this story peter good morning russia has responded to the claims that. Or moscow is far from happy with the way this is being handled by the german side the announcement was well while the us the bush ambassador was called into the Foreign Ministry after the announcement was made to the press said it did in its child have says that after he had his meeting with the Foreign Ministry he wasnt presented with any facts to back up the claims that alexina valley was poisoned using a nerve agent from the novel group the Foreign Ministry in moscow has called this megaphone diplomacy what we knew but that only if there was any data we would work with that there is no data there are only statements amounting to naga phone diplomacy because theyre voiced by Foreign Ministry many were waiting to hear what the doctors have to see the russian doctors in on seize share their conclusions with the Public Employee vidas back any data but thats not something we see here the ambassador of the Russian Federation was invited to the Foreign Office and informed about the contents of the German Governments declaration in the socalled nevada only case however no fact based documents were given to the ambassador of the russian Foreign Ministry say the lines of communication between berlijn and moscow were ignored and russian requests went on the german chancellor Angela Merkel on foreign minister heiko moscow plenty of time to talk to the press. Isnt the shilton the informant soon it is a very thats one of the lead in a position figures in russia has been poisoned as specialized laborde 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion and that i would say never in there was poisoned with a substance from the novacek hes the victim for crime someone tried to shut him up the aisle following up with the sleep we demand an investigation into the poisoning of aleksey now while we condemn this boys name and in the near future will hold consultations and how europe can adequately respond to it it will also depend on russias response to the chaos. And peter what about the International Reaction to come in so far well im glad merkel the german chancellor pointed out that this is a case which is drawn attention from all over the world weve heard reaction from the british Prime Minister as well as e. U. Leaders so far. Its outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against scene of on the we have seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of novacek in the u. K. The russian government must now explain what happens mr we will work with International Partners to ensure justice is done i was informed by chancellor merkel that russian Opposition Leader now was it was attacked i dont know the agent in his own country this is a despicable in cali act once again that the traitors need to be brought to justice. Conspicuous by his absence when it comes to commenting on this has been us President Donald Trump our ever democratic president ial hopeful joe biden did comment saying that the novell nikkei showed that President Trump was weak when it came to russia and dealing with russian president Vladimir Putin its been 2 weeks since alexina volley took ill on a flight from siberia to moscow he was brought here its a bird when after 1st receiving treatment in the city of arms on the 22nd of april he remains in an induced coma or in the shot at a hospital in german capital doctors say his symptoms are decreasing however arent ruling out a long period of illness for him. Because of those flying from the german capital peter oliver there thank you. Now while many questions around alexina valleys poisoning remain of course unanswered western politicians have put forward their versions of events pointing the finger at the russian government meanwhile moscow says it had no response from berlin to any of its requests for information despite they say being fully ready to cooperate. Has more. Nuvi choke again they say the notorious talks in that his heaped infamy on russia over talks a group of toxins by the way with slightly different variations of liquid gas powder one of the deadliest substances known to man rebel solves bre the huge operation launched there hundreds of people in full hazmat gear everyone afraid of exposure and here is apparently exposed to this new variation which by the way can evaporate and become airborne at Room Temperature and hes flying in a jet where he feels sick scores of people crammed together and no one doubts reports feeling the thing including the people he was with if the germans had got clear evidence of know Something Like that being used they should give that information over to the russians and the russians and that didnt happen with scruples on the soles and i doubt whether or happen again and theres many questions like you know he was on the airplane then he landed why isnt anybody else i mean again another echo of this ripple case as far as i can see we need some transparency here before we start escalating this into any kind of sanctions trade war. Help any kind of military conflict there are a lot of questions now speculation and rumors and fakes this is a time to wait to let investigators collect the facts unless you want to use the moment the confusion the hysteria the anger to tear up russian german ties to stop a pipeline for example hope to the north stream to pipeline to hold the russians accountable. The obvious murder attempt by the mafia like structures of the kremlin can no longer just worry us it must have real consequences that is why a very clear answer is needed here north stream 2 is nothing that we can promote together with Russia Germany says it will share its lab results and findings with e. U. Nations and get this nato new response to russias offers of Legal Assistance and medical corp russia will learn that the value they had been poisoned not from the German Government but from the news opening games as early as august 27th the russian general Prosecutors Office addressed the German Justice ministry with an official request for Legal Assistance the office also expressed its readiness to present to the german side the test results and Research Carried out after missing a mans hospitalization the German Justice ministry confirmed it had received a request but so far thats it wherever such a thing which started diplomatic reaching the hazards you always have to us. Who is benefiting who does something was benefit and we have as weve already heard this equation that there are heavy forces would god want a closer relationship between russia and germany specially according to the last 3 to project what could the russian government 1st of such a thing with this poland politicians there was no danger for the russian government would be. Theyre already talking about sanctions guilty by default which is remarkable given the circumstances so the russian government out of the blue decides to poison an opposition politician who has been after the kremlin for years using one of the worlds deadliest substances which russia has said repeatedly it doesnt path so they do this. Improbable and highly stupid thing and he survives it he goes to a russian hospital where the doctors do everything to save his life get him stable and they succeed the russian government which just apparently tried to kill this fellow green lights a private jet to said him to one of europes best clinics to get help his body apparently wouldnt evidence locker treaty banned substances so far that their best version. Trump ministration has announced that the u. S. Wont participate in a joint global effort to develop and distributing corona virus vaccine because the World Health Organization is involved in follows the white house decision in july to withdraw from the organization over its handling of the pandemic President Trump also alleged the agency is under the sway of china at morgan takes a look at recent developments the United States will not be joining International Efforts to produce zach scene due to political concerns when you see this is yet another blow to Health Diplomacy the United States will continue to engage our International Partners to ensure we defeat this virus but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Hope Organization and china eat lobel Vaccine Initiative known as oh that x.

And Global Solidarity soon should. This virus thrives when we are divided. When we are united we can defeat to win a successful new vaccine is found there will be greater demand then that eases supply because the mind and competition for supply is already creating bucks emotionalism and risk of price gouging relations between the United States and the World Health Organization has been strained for quite some time despite his praise for the organization at the beginning of it and damn it donald trump made. And all the United States out of the global watched are because they have failed to make their requested and greatly needed reforms we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent Global Public health needs the latest decision from the United States to pull out of efforts for a global vaccine have raised a storm of criticism or ologists and politicians have spoken out said that donalds route is essentially shooting himself in the foot trumps go it alone strategy has already given us the highest death toll in the world at his inaugural he spoke of american carnage and now seems to term and to make it a reality.

Washington to slap sanctions on the International Criminal court which has been looking at alleged us war atrocities details after the break. What else seemed wrong. But all wrong just dont call. Me old yet to say proud disdain become educated and it gets written it looks betrayed. When somebody find themselves worlds apart wait just to look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. A day or thinks. We are here to ask. Welcome back washington has imposed sanctions on senior officials at the International CriminalCourt Secretary of state monk bumppo says the i. C. C. Is corrupt and has no authority the International Criminal court thoroughly broken in corrupted institution. The United States has never ratified the rome statute that created the court and we will not tolerate is illegitimate steps to subject americans to its jurisdiction. Washingtons unhappy with the i. C. C. Scurrah investigation into alleged the us war crimes in afghanistan the court is also investigating americas close ally israel of a possible crimes relating to jewish settlements in the west bank and East Jerusalem neither the United States nor israel belong to the i. C. C. The court itself has condemned the sanctions. These coercive acts directed at an International Judicial institution and its Civil Servants around president did and constitute serious attacks against the court and the rule of law more generally secretary of state compares announcement today marks a stunning perversion of u. S. Sanctions devised to penalize rights abuses and kleptocrats to persecute those tasked with prosecuting International Crimes the trumpet ministration has twisted the sanctions to obstruct justice not only for certain war crimes victims but for atrocity victims anywhere looking to the International Criminal court for justice human rights lawyer dunk of all excess International Law should apply to all countries with no exceptions. The u. S. For many decades. Has taken the position that because it has them ideas military in the world. It doesnt have to be. Subject to International Law. Its above international and i think trump is just frankly taking that to its logical conclusion the United States has been opposed to the International Criminal court least as to the extent that the i. C. C. Could prosecute western countries from the very beginning and now trump is sanctioning it because it wants to investigate us war crimes in afghanistan and israeli work crimes in palestine it would be fair for the country to say look us you know whats good for the goose is good for the gander if the International Law doesnt apply to you it doesnt apply to me.
