A new spike in cases. Around the clock across the world this is your R T International from the team myself you know me hello and welcome to the program. The Russian Foreign minister a surrogate said moscow has nothing to hide in the alexina case it follows a conclusion by germany the russian opposition figurehead was poisoned with a chemical agent. We have already commented on this and said we have nothing to hide the soon is aleksey new found he fell ill the plane was grounded and necessary measures taken this soon as he was transported to germany those who were demanding information from russia went silent and did not demand anything from berlin. This is all following the same old scenario we hear public accusations against russia and the official requests to berlin from our Prosecutors Office have so far gone unanswered we were promised today that we would soon receive response as soon as we get the facts we will react accordingly this is all reminiscent of what happened with this cripples. Just a reminder lesson of on the is currently in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator in a berlin hospital more than a fortnight after being airlifted from russia the kremlin has said it needs more facts on the case from berlin while nato has called for an International Response as our europe correspondent peter all of the reports what we heard from un stoltenberg the nato secretary general on friday morning he said that its been presented to the alliance that being presented with proof beyond down to the lake say no volley had been poisoned using a novacek military grade of agent he said that they would have to be a International Reaction to this however he wouldnt elaborate on what that would be its the use of chemical of but its a use of overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating the brutish and over in use over chemical weapons and that matters for nato we strongly believe that this is a blatant violation of International Law so it requires an International Response. But i will not speculate about exactly what kind of in National Response theres been a lot of talk not only from germany but around the world about transparency coming from the russian side but on friday the German Government confirmed that they have received a request from the russian prosecutors general Prosecutor Generals Office for the sharing of test data from Alexei Navalny tests that were carried out on him for that medical data to be shared with doctors and investigate is in russia now reading between the lines from the statement it might not be as simple a procedure as that makes it sound if the system is something yes do you think the Justice Ministry and the Foreign Ministry of germany usually consider each case on its own merit to see if there are any obstacles to the agreement while russian doctors have asked for this information to be shared with. Them as part of the investigation because when they carried out tests on a lex in the valley was tried of course 1st in russia or in the city of. They found no trace of toxins and in fact they say that poisoning was the 1st thing they looked for and found no traces and that they need these results from the german tests in order to proceed with their investigation weve also heard from the kremlin Spokes Person to me to the press corps of who said that its the russian doctors have been far more forthcoming when it came to sharing information than the german counterparts he also said that statements in acetate should be limited to the facts that are provided this fact to investigative measures are being carried out and if the information about the presence of a poisonous substance in the patients biological samples is confirmed then of course we will open a day jury investigation of the German Federal president. Has been speaking as well he said. The case has the potential to cause problems in the relationship between elin and moscow but if we look at the foreign minister of austria alexandre schellenberg he said that it would be impossible for the e. U. To put in place sanctions on russia over this before there was any proof before there was any investigation being carried out he was also asked questions about the nord stream to gas pipeline which the Austrian Foreign minister said shouldnt be put in any risk that that should be completed and that the nikkei shouldnt have an impact on that Business Enterprise meanwhile many media organizations are trying to dig deeper into what happened to the russian opposition figure now in the west plenty of theories are being floated down the old seem to have a common theme right guys the explains. 48 hours since germany declared the valley poisoned with military grade talks in a humorous crime she said that must be dealt with will turn it does not condemn this in strongest possible terms on behalf of the entire german example. There is serious questions now that you believe the russian government can answer and must answer with a note that she didnt accuse russia of anything but within 24 hours everyone with a keyboard had somehow become an investigative journalist slash toxicologist slash Foreign Policy expert take build for example a german tabloid that specializes in yellow journalism and bashing russia build out did everyone they managed to mistranslate a russian official make up a Conspiracy Theory that russia was blaming germany for poor reasoning the volley and beeston everything that they got wrong they demanded sanctions and then to the divisive german russian north stream to pipeline there are there is a very strong anti russian in the west which typically specifically wants to sabotage the gas pipeline to prevail in iraq or between russia and the e. U. A particularly Close Association with russia and germany there isnt a change their course america wants to sell its natural gas to europe instead of the russians so theres a lot of money it is a gas going on a lot of money is what at stake spiegel another german magazine has proposed tearing up german russian relations big student well apparently they have irrefutable proof that putin was behind this insane poisoning they wont show it through to their readers so well just have to trust them now is the times of the man in the kremlin the german or thora cheese of showing the alexina found he was not drunk diabetic as the. When cynical spin doctors wanted the world to believe he was supposed to be killed with an insidious neurotoxin cynical spin doctors insidious neurotoxin and obviously aggravated by us because were going to see this all going to force 1st compounds are highly toxic substances and as a rule its impossible to use them just to poison a Single Person if there had been any interaction with the substance on the eve of the flight or during the flight then any accompanying persons would certainly have shown symptoms of poisonings that did not happen passions are high a lot of confusion about this is the best diet to take advantage of people if youre a build pundit and you have no idea how a neurotoxin works or what happened to the volley and you still want clicks well now is the time to write righteous and warlike articles to try and appear knowledgeable while the you know the professionals and the experts a busy and quiet trying to figure out whats happened there is another version that you might like one popular theory is that the kremlin spooked by the protests into west embarrass into the east inhabitants wanted mr nirvana out of the way to prevent him from mobilizing discontent closer to mr putin and upsetting his plans for parliamentary elections next year after years of not winning elections after years of stagnant support somehow now novelli has become a danger i was in the kremlin spooked after the revolution in ukraine why didnt they try to remove him then and it doesnt explain use it in new york which is the Nuclear Option even in the world of nerve agents sending the volleys to germany where he could get tested for the chalk and russia would get sanction to jump to the conclusion that there is one. To what happened to divert its. Very simplistic because if you look at the balance of advantage say you know who takes an advantage out of whats happened i think its a huge liability for the kremlin and for russia to be seen to have launched an attack on. One of the most colorful and interim interim members of the opposition that it reinforces as weve seen a very negative image of russia in the west i think the relations between the west and specifically europe and russia were starting to warm up now all those things are certainly at risk because of whats happened and because of the way its interpret it which is why i think maybe its much more complicated why would the kremlin do this at this point but there are many fantastic versions going the route you can big whichever suits you best put is reluctance to say the word never in their cloud has led to comparisons to lord voldemort the villain in the harry potter sirius whom the other characters do not name now i think has also been banned for appearances on state television and is mentioned there only rarely and in that it have late so putins apparent reluctance to talk about a fellow who is a politician one of the legs of the anything is somehow in direct proof that putin wanted him dead. Hell i dont remember putin ever talking about me could putin really want me dead is well underway in a volley being banned in state television as a lie he refuses to appear on state television has even declined to appear in a nazi when we asked him weve got out a video we have Video Evidence of the guardian lied at the end of the day whats the point there is a jar and educate him that these people existed its full of profit oriented journalism intended to surprise and to upset and they will say anything to you into clicking on an ad filled article they feed on your attention. To another of the headline stories russian scientists producing the countrys 1st corona virus vaccine to see if theyre ready to start 3rd phase Clinical Trials thats after an International Medical journal concluded that the drug but nick v. Produced an antibody response in 100 percent of participants during early stage trials with no major side effects such as been looking into the recent success of sputnik. At the start of 2020 good news it was hard to come by but as we move that autumn it seems that bind us not unpleasant to report on as many will remember russia practices that was the last great advice but all the results are now on friday it was announced back in notice that nicotine has indeed a strong immune response i am to point out that that in 100 some of those images of age in trials now this comes just after eating out one of the oldest one of the most respected in the lancet. Thats a subset of the findings of the trials because it is a part of the Clinical Trial results of this putting the vaccine published in lancet the worlds leading medical journal shows that russia is leading the way in developing a corona virus vaccine and it answers a lot of questions from western critics specifically the journal report concluded that there were no serious adverse consequences among volunteers that took the vaccine and there was a very strong in time moon response due to the development of antibodies it found that a vaccinated person produces 1. 00 times more antibodies than an average person infected with corona virus so no serious side to back desired antibodies and of course a good safety profile its also worth noting he had of the mosque a clinic which developed independently said he thought that those heightened place would actually protect the individual for at least 2 yes so that announcement from what he direct Investment Fund there was this article in the lancet really bills direct there are some less. Expected next now this news one touted keeping that with those who decided to take the plunge to leave the vanguard to get themselves in it and we can see you think the minister of defense against like who the leader of the liberal Democrat Party who by the way actually appeared on a t. V. Show makes wrong in the day that the last i met. So now were now told president putin about this Via Video Conference he said you know what im seeing why no thing i will say i did have a slight headache for a few hours so these latest announcement some doubt reassuring but also maybe a way to counter the one of the better word through suspicions like people initially you said that maybe russia has this process in order to declare itself winner of that race for so what now well in our sights and if not of what actually basis for russian citizens will start in september. That process could be done within 7 to 12 months that in fact. We can execute it in the capital muscovites of us were in a hot spot have been given a bit of a head start and can already go some saturday so doses for most things people at home but that will be read out and it seems there is. Power and plenty of foreign governments have already seen the hundreds of millions of doses so immersed like sputnik spread. Saskatoon are taking us through that now after the Peer Reviewed study was published the u. S. Secretary of state expressed skepticism like pump a 0 accuse russia and china of hurrying their vaccines to market for political reasons we discussed the russian vaccine the findings and even the lancet journal with Lawrence Young lawrence is a professor of molecular on college in the u k. I think its a very important step in the way to develop an effective vaccine its a very interesting study like many vaccines studies its still relatively early days but it does demonstrate that the vaccine is safe and it doesnt juice a very good immune response this study published in a long sea highlight some very Important Developments particularly in the ability to what we call crime boosts the response to give 2 doses of slightly different baxi does that give you an even better response and that is something that this article reports on which i think is a very Important Development but again we have to be slightly cautious because its relatively small numbers and we look forward obviously to seeing more data particularly as this dark scene goes into phase 34. 00 i understand there are going to be Something Like 40000. 00 volunteers vaccinated but were working together as an International Group of the middle of just some biologists to fight this vaccine and this is a very important step in the fight. Still ahead one of the more peculiar stories of the day are us professor has publicly admitted to pretend to be black even though shes white and jewish why the question were asking after the break. Anyone who is a real careful is will say well we have made it possible to have the best work and growth in the world. Yes but it hasnt been sure. To bring in New Hampshire is not the rich get richer the workers stay. At the old pay and the poor no one is taking care of. Reserves criticism. Of the inherent inadequate. Of the sharing of the game. Small seemed wrong. But old rules just all. The way to get to shape our disdain you cant get educated and in game training equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Right. Over again corona virus is firing up in europe from locked up 7000. 00 new infections for the 2nd day running while the neighboring spain the dealy rate is now almost 9000. 00 just outside the e. U. Turkey thora trees are now admitting things are getting bad again so is it to be expected during this post summer back to School Period or is it something more significant theres arties charlotta. Well you officials are warning that the rate of transmission the test so positive cases of 19 is now at a level that is almost equivalent to what it was back in march that was when many countries started imposing those severe restrictions which led to lock downs across europe in france this week we saw more than 7000. 00 cases being registered in just 24 hours now much of that of course could be put down to the fact that there is widespread testing taking place across france and weve been told that some 50 percent of those who are testing positive for coping 19 are showing little to no symptoms but what Health Authorities are concerned about here is the fact that in recent days there has been an increase in the number of people who tested positive who have been taken to hospital and those who need intensive care ry as has been sleeping or were just summer vacation. Is something that we see now were all halls thanks to the number of actually have seen in march where lots of measures have been put in place to try in this way to transmission including here in paris where we now have to wear masks. All streets across the capital and theres been talk that there could be closures of bars and localized lockdowns it seems nothing is essentially being ruled out at the moment although the measures in terms of mass dont yet seem to be producing any concrete results now spain and germany have also seen some of the highest cases they have recorded since the spring time and thats also been significant numbers of cases appearing in parts of the u. K. In the north of england for example where there are already tighter restrictions in place with households still not able to mix in certain parts of the north theyre seeing a very large rate of transmission of 19 meanwhile in turkey the Health Minister there has been talking about this 2nd wave hes been saying that the cases are go
