With. The general public. From my house when. The us President Donald Trump confirms he put the target on the back of syrian president Bashar Al Assad but the assassination didnt go because of his former defense secretary. Good morning russia live from arties world news headquarters here in moscow. Here with a wednesday morning round up for the next half hour 1st to moscows top diplomat has urged berlin to stop politicizing the alleged poisoning of Alexy Novelli foreign minister Sergei Lavrov speaking with his german counterpart is call certainly wasnt heated though in the European Parliament remy peace pointed the finger squarely at russia correspondents here in the central moscow today but across it all the politics continue the thrush although there is some news about mr valma as well hes a little better take it all this morning. Kevin good morning well a police to phone call between the top of the of russia and germany is better than nothing because at one point trip to germany was canceled altogether after the russian side realized that high cost decided to cut the planned time for their conversation to one and a half hours but the conversation happened and from the update on the Russian Foreign ministry is website we understand that the phone call wasnt easy 2 at all now moscows keep points are russian officials are absolutely open they are and they will be to work in together on this with germany russia is very keen to get all the medical data of the test data to get to the bottom of this and moscow keeps demanding. That germany hand and the files plus moscow officials keep repeating that if the findings are not handed over that will be treated as a specific straightforward signal to russia especially given that some of them have been passed on to other european countries. Any further vision from satisfying the stated requests will be perceived as a lack of desire on the part of our partners to help establish the truth in the framework of move jet safe and comprehensive investigation of what happened. But just to remind you in response to moscows demands and requests berlin has pretty much been trying to force moscow to deal with this matter through the organization for the prague vision of chemical weapons thats an International Body which germany says has all the findings but. Made it clear to his german call league that this shouldnt stop moscow and berlin from cooperating with each other talking to each other in or outside the o. P. C. W. Course conversation or just between germany and russia brought to you its been pitching in as well with the various comments on it will speed said most reaction be well kevin ill tell you what on choose day this issue got all the way inside the walls of the European Parliament and as an example of how russia has been trying to knock on all kinds of doors in europe ahead of that debate by the m. E. P. Moscows mission to the you came up with a long list of questions in fact 9 block blocks of questions where they pointed out some inconsistency in germanys take some of these questions include what is the rationale behind moscows alleged plan or decision to poison alexina volley with a substance from the novel group or why for example it is stated that it was only the soviet union and then russia that was developing substances from that nerve agent nava talk group while its not stated that other nato countries were extensively working on it as well and so on and here is another part of that statement from moscows. Mission to the. Not claiming to be experts in toxicology we still consider it necessary to draw your attention to multiple inconsistency is regarding this case claims that whatever evidence may be transmitted to russia only with the patients consent im not compatible with numerous political level statements made in germany while he was still comatose. But again if you listen to what the m e ps were saying most of them have made up their mind its definitely the kremlin to blame for this the opposition in russia is in grave danger this was definitely a poisoning and they are ready to discuss new sanctions against moscow in the meantime alexina vollies health is improving he doesnt have to use a ventilator right now he can already walk and hes even back on social media he has posted a photo with his family and that is the good news just to remind you alexina vali fell severely ill while he was on a flight to moscow coming back from siberia the pilot had to land urgently then he was treated by russian doctors upon request of his family he was moved to berlin and that was when the european officials began saying that according to some of the tests or findings he was poisoned by a nerve agent of the navi chalke type russia keeps demanding evidence of that but its not getting any of that evidence thats where we stand at this point or i should be more sure that they keep us posted earlier in a patrol encourage central moscow. So among the possible sanctions that were discussed in the e. U. Parliament over this was slamming the brakes on the nord string to pipeline project austria though objected to that as a response stressing that the energy link is purely an economic one and moreover greatly benefit sirup we discussed the issue with current commercial austrias former minister of Foreign Affairs as well as french m. E. P. Terry mariani who went against the grain of opinion in the parliament it was a little bit disappointing because they see there was no reasonable or was shown except me and. Human both said if there isnt anything of mr left only 1st make a Serious Investigation to know d who is guilty dont say it dont name of guilty before investigation everybody understand that there is. Some. Idea between this. Sanction to stop or to continue the last 3 years through its if it did not for europe if europe want to be independent there is the solution its not through to and how the direct relation with russia oh stop this. Gets around what would we do its the only solution for europe wed be too to buy a share of gas from america and i seen the interest of europeans to the various groups for gas that has always been the mantra was of the german chancellor Angela Merkel to say this is a purely commercial project and i have been read to rating also when i still have to minister nobody built a pipeline to annoy somebody its all about the mob and theres a demand we have a nearly completed construction out pipeline and now all of a sudden all and i seemingly terms of trade should be changed practice once a bond its a very old concept treaties have to be kept have to be preserved and desirable to consider as the biggest Collateral Damage who wants to come groups. Contracts of such a wide you know with China Companies its all in the i cant change everything. For the u. K. You know the buy the stormers covert 90 numbers pickup british m. P. s have told the public to keep their eyes peeled for Rule Breakers early this week the socalled rule a 6 then came into force across Great Britain limiting the amount of people who can gather together many theyre worried about snitching on their neighbors. And to neighbors to do exactly that through triple through the nonemergency number and if they are concerned or they do see that kind of thing then absolutely its now the law they should be concerned yesterday yes issues should ring in and report that. It will just inundate us with cools does he think we have an Endless Supply of officers who can just go out to these things it will be hundreds and hundreds of calls coming in from twitches. The new rules include fines for people meeting in bigger groups than 6 exemptions or covert secure events and households of more than 6 people work in educational institutions are also exempt but with police already spread so thin man in question just how these measures are going to be enforced or can be enforced we are still long that is if they would be willing then to call in suspected Rule Breakers themselves oh no im not going to shop anybody ill be humane if someone. If i would want us to chill out and she isnt basically what i think it was you know i would inform the police but expect the police to do their job not asking us the public to enforce perfects of the governmental roles that i dont agree with i phones and what theyre doing closed people will probably not enforce it when you say 7 people who are having a Birthday Party but will want to faceted children sort of people having of age i guess preventions growing cure me of the servile class you know stick to the ones you know or the calls to inform our neighbors were met with scrutiny some do see the proposed measures as a necessary step in order to put a stop to the ongoing covert pandemic put the whole thing up for debate. There will be quite a lot of breaches some through ignorance some through mistake some just straight forward through not going to do it people need to understand why theyre doing what theyre being asked to do the courts understand that things are a good idea otherwise they wont comply with them i dont believe that we should be snitching on our neighbors i think we need to be encouraging people to take personal responsibility and use their common sense ok this is a time of politicians are letting us down maybe the pound and the economic spending is being put a head of Public Safety and health but you know the message is coming from politicians who knew how dangerous this was and they delayed so long and we knew if we look at the flu pandemic from the night in 20 that it comes back up this summer doubly hard so we need to all share fortunately unfortunately some dont act socially responsible they are malicious about it some are just ultra callous some just last one way or the other we rely the police arent everywhere we rely on the public reporting the more egregious examples the worst examples so that the police can deal with them and all our safety personally i wouldnt shop somebody to that list that is just not the way we do things it is not the british way is a little cooler the police dont you know they are being spread very thin at the minute resources are tough the tough job to be we dont need to have examples of police dishing out. Tickets and. Fines for people who are trying to congregate if it was plainly a family saw a gathering and some of those kids maybe not if it was a raucous raucous Drunken Party of the sort that maybe would attract calls about disturbance in the 1st place anyway rick regardless of coded and then maybe as our judgment taste a huge pita. People call the police about disturbances and noisy parties and things like that anyway and i suspect a lot of those will be reported now with joe. So you want to avoid living in some kind of dystopia an orwellian nightmare where weve got you know like you found i thought one of the people on the street is spying on each other and constant monitoring or think this is about safety only saving lives not only life for the Public Health aspect the Public Safety aspect were an awful awful long way from. Well meantime enough to shambles that doctors in the u. K. Have been describing the countrys coronavirus testing since that system which is governed overwhelmed amid a spike in daily cases again front line medics themselves are having to really go through the mill to get checked for kovan we spoke to dr sophy rowlands from the u. K. Doctors and she said sure their colleagues have to travel home of miles to get tested. I did it being about just under 3 weeks ago you and you know i mean its strange way i looked on the website and the nearest text. Said white actually. Done it cripes i i thought that wasnt really good enough but i wasnt well enough to make that if students and so i checked again late seventies stages of threats of this text and youre out of whack tonight its just outside london that would be 860 mile round trip with very each way its just that its not just degenerate capital struggling to get past its doctors and from my house where this is well so you are studying this all almost 250 docs. And we found that 10 percent were on a test at all and someone being asked to drive someone made a 260 mile round trip was done well and to be able to get attached another dose is having to make decision about lets try and wait to see if test comes up which that means that im able to go out. This isnt good reading lets take a quick look at the covert 1000 figures in the u. K. Now in the past few days the daily number of new cases across britain has exceeded 3000 coronavirus tests are running short of the countrys 10 worst hotspots for the disease because of the rising number of infections hospitals now more and more of a counsellor operations and turn patients away with labs struggling to clear the backlog of tests the u. K. s Health Secretary has admitted indeed that the countrys a covert testing system is facing as he puts it an enormous challenge which will take weeks for that to resolve but hancock earlier said only those eligible for a test should get one meaning only those showing symptoms or told to by a doctor should go and get a check he also stressed the need to prioritize the most vulnerable. Over the summer when demand was low we were able to meet all requirements for testing whether priorities or not but as demand has risen so were having to prioritise once again and i do not shirk from decisions about prioritization theyre not always comfortable but they are important so i mean i think its quite clear that. We were now getting into alter and we knew that this was going to schools that there were lots about the when to let case have a call but without knowing whether it is or whether its so it was vitally important that. The change to train system is up and running properly at topix last year that doesnt seem to be the case. Is a brief environmental emergency has been declared in the brazilian state of matter grosser look at since the start of the year fires have produced 1400000 hectares of wetland to osh region suffering its worst drought in 47 years with manmade fires also being blamed. So it will flip the coin here though. Making its way through america its now strengthened its hit southern alabama with extreme winds sideway rains lie on that again causing Power Outages and flooding because of its slow speed its fear the hurricane could cause storage and life threatening flooding. Greece is currently building a new for the thousands of migrants on the island of lez boston suffered so badly of late the previous company. In that suspected boston attack were talking about last week Police Arrested on suspicion of involvement. Coming up international this wednesday morning. In support of u. S. Troops draws attention. To all the wrong reasons after the jets mistakenly. Seem to belong to another country who. Join me every. Im sure ill see that. Hello good morning tom toms confirmed he wanted to assassinate the syrian president Bashar Al Assad despite 2 years of flatted denials that the option was even discussed in a new interview the us president confirmed the killing would have happened he said if it wasnt for opposition from his former defense secretary jim mattis is it true that after assad gas children for the 2nd time that it was you they wanted to take out assad that you had a good side on him i would have rather taken him out i could have all said mattis didnt want to do it. Because the assassination of president assad by the United States never even discussed the book is total fiction washington says Bashar Al Assad committed crimes against his own nation including multiple alleged Chemical Attacks both syria and its military ally russia have always denied any involvement dont know mcadams the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute says trumps flippant admission could have dangerous consequences. That is needed early in 2018 that the u. S. Had no evidence that assad was behind either the attack or the cain she couldnt act attacked in syria in a factor only source of evidence were the white helmet who were basically working with alqaeda in syria so were going to believe al qaeda over russia and dogs who are busy trying to fight al qaeda but theres a real danger in this that its sort of a lawless and its for a long time frowned upon even though the cia has done it its best to do it that nations but as legally and officially frowned on the idea of assassinating foreign leaders the assassination of solo money of course in iran was a huge exception it hasnt gone very well for trump who hasnt got iran coming on its knees begging for a deal after that on the contrary so all this talk of assassinating people in reality what it does is puts u. S. Troops u. S. Diplomats and just plain old americans overseas in a lot more jeopardy than they did they need to be theres a lot of tough talk and actually has negative consequences for the u. S. Months of delays disagreements afghan peace talks brokered by the u. S. Started a dollar over the weekend and well nothing substantive came out of the 1st session of face to face talks between the Afghan Government or the taliban its nonetheless good news for donald trump hes in a hurry to come good on election promises made 4 years ago as donald quarter explains. The clock is ticking on the next u. S. President ial election and Donald Trumps looking to score political points with a peace deal that promises to end americas longest ever war in afghanistan washingtons very optimistic about the talks already being held with the taliban in qatar they are truly in a momentous occasion. And afghans. At long last chosen to sit together and chart a new course for your country. This is a moment. We must dare to hope but on pales optimism doesnt seem to match with political reality. Washington knows its got to deliver a deal to the war weary u. S. Public at any cost so it conveniently neglected to consult afghanistans government when drafting the agreement until this issue. There was a consensus on that is a nice but no
