samples collected by the o.p.c. w. team and shared with the federal republic of germany confirmed the biomarkers of the inhibitor found it mysen of blood and urine samples have similar structural characteristics as the toxic chemicals. ok let's bring in our peter older then who's been following this story pay to what's been the reaction to these revelations after they. both committed a press corp the kremlin spokes person put out a. very short statement saying that russia had hours of will just a little while ago not seen this document that's being passed from the o.p.c. w.t. organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons for chemical weapons in the hague to lynn he said the stats information simply hadn't reached moscow yet. to come when you know we do possess their findings of the moment it needs time for such information to be delivered through our diplomatic channels. well it certainly has reached in the german government spokes person was giving a press briefing in which they said that something had to be done they called on russia to provide answers over what happened to alexina vali we've also heard from the free democratic party opposition party the liberal party here in the in germany they were speaking in the bundestag in which they put forward a new bill of sanctions targeting russia over the alexei novelli case stefan's i bet the german government spokes person said that there has to be serious consequences for the use of a chemical weapon. the german government renews its calls on russia to explain what happened in the coming days there will be a

foreign minister saying that the european partners of russia had been making up their minds before all of the evidence is being seen. into the flow of the thought of course we are interested in establishing the truth about what happened with alexina valmy as soon as possible but the situation is outrageous it's exactly the same scenario was in the so-called script palled case when the charges were announced but no facts were presented. for that breaking news the o.p.c. w in the hague says that they have found traces of a not the chalk nerve agent in some polls taken from alexei nonviolently that information's been passed it's a bird in a waiting for a solid reaction from moscow when they finally get round to looking into this detailed report as it's described it's being passed along. ok thanks peter that was artie's peter over there reporting from berkeley. the head of russia's foreign intelligence services rule is warning that terrorists including from the notorious jabhat al nusra group are seeking to join the conflicts in the disputed new corner cutting back region where fighting has intensified between is a big john and armenia with more his hugo she done. so the russian foreign intelligence service has released a statement a memo and at 1st they just issue a general concern for the well being of the citizens of the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh and they also released a call to both sides to stop the fight he immediately saying that a full blown war in the region is well and acceptable but when it gets interesting is when then they talk about hundreds and perhaps even thousands of syrian fighters on the front lines open a corner cab back they even gave the names of the groups which came here which came to this disputed region to take part in the war ever listen according to the information that is available to russia's foreign intelligence service mercenaries from warring international terrorist organizations in the middle east are actively having to the conflict zone in particular job for cattle harms us holton moron as well as extremist kurdish groups now among these groups the most notorious one is well don't know struck they used to be known as al qaeda in syria but lately they changed their name trying to distance themselves from al-qaeda but that didn't help much because they are known for so many folk countless acts of terrorism and war crimes and atrocities in syria in fact we prepared a short clip for you too with a breakdown as to what is known about this group but i have to warn you that some images in this clip you may find disturbing. well it's important to underline that the russian foreign intelligence service. he did not specify which side these mercenaries are fighting on although there have been mounting reports and sort of an international consensus that it is jerky that is helping a 0 by john hiatt these militants and then ship them to the frontline of nagorno-karabakh world in fact armenia has accused deserve by john of doing this as well but it's one of the aspects of this conflict you have to understand that well both sides here that use each other over a lot of things and then later deny the accusations of the other side this is an example of such each of such a situation for instance is there by john has said that there are no foreign fighters in its ranks and in fact in turn accused armenia of hiring for in soldiers so it's a murky situation at least also this comes to the tune of the foreign minister of turkey saying announcing that ankara is ready to work with moscow on resolving this crisis and bringing the sides to me get to the negotiating table i will be bringing you more as i learn it because you've done of their will is the fighting does continue dozens of civilians have been killed on both sides parts of the disputed region have been less of a damage while humanitarian groups have raised the alarm over the level of violence and the number of civilian casualties the situation is also tense to in areas neither is near the disputed territory is a big government claims the country's 2nd largest city came under fire on monday in fact these are pictures of a market that was shelled according to this area thora to armenia though denies it has fired on as a bridge on territory meanwhile as a result side the conflict zone it in what they can to help their forces a local reporter sent more details from the capital. in the wake of the recent advances or there was an army in the continent. people both in who are in the region very few consolidated and want to make their own contribution. for the progress of this hold it throughout the capital there are several collection points set up by activists this initiative of the people they want something from they all where all the ideas sense just from 2 trucks just today was sent about 150 both boxes and i think a big portion of the salary we must be spent this way and we here just stand our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers that we're always with them missile defense if statement they've even said that they'd be exposed big gratitude to the people for this assistance but in the same time they said that people military personnel leave well equipped and provided it was all neat and in order to prevent any kind of misuse and irrational species if you saw the president set up a temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the officers in the missile defense and then they will help them to redistribute the assistance to the destination final destination that of the soldier or national army. now in other news tonight donald trump is back in the white house having spent 4 days in hospital after testing positive for 19. learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great we're going back we're going back to work going to be out front and cheerleader i had to do that and i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know but don't let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world but he's come and said it infuriate many medical experts he said it actually damned played to the threat of the virus following his release the president returned to the white has by helicopter then appeared on a balcony here before removing his mask to pose for 30 years or despite claiming people have nothing to fear from the virus kobita still taking a toll on the country schools have been closed again in several neighborhoods of new york is cases in the city one small. more number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hot spot cluster that is not interested we're going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow. while the u.s. as a whole does remain the pandemics global hot spot on friday new infections hit a 2 month record with more than $54000.00 cases that is the highest daily tally since the middle of august we got reaction from people in new york about the latest decision to close schools. why was he thought millstones there is no great optically was my son's school which is actually to want to toy with out loud to the closet it's for the safety of the students of the day that they're going to get down to making. it somewhat the surge at the same time but. whatever whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that little of the figure they're going. in now reports on why new york is once again facing a spike in cases. the rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers we've seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state governor andrew cuomo says the buck stops with local officials. say go over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement violating entities notify the states and to close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to compliance now cuomo says words have led to allegations of hypocrisy he's criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i don't believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i don't believe it's illegal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with governor cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people who've lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that nursing homes had to accept coded positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother was the 1st one to say the state was there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks are talking about reopening in one week in new york city. and now we're seeing these meth maersk. the rings over the past several minutes that could in fact exacerbate the covert 9 team spirit now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state governor andrew cuomo sent his best wishes to president donald trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york city's mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president to task i think it's another reminder of why what some of us have been saying is right where masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didn't do it and paid the price party lines power and position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now new york governor andrew cuomo admits the leaders of the state made some pretty big mistakes along the way however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the democratic party the democratic party's strategy. during this 2020 a lecture and has to run again in his trumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in his handling. of it in the country i mean new york has had the worst. case death rate statistics and the worst sprayed the incidence of govt in the country because much of the media in the united states is entirely in coots with the democratic party cuomo hasn't suffered any consequences on that so yes it's hypocritical but he can get away with it he's going to blame him to go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow save new york at the same time in the media and watch and allow him to get away with it while the has been a major embarrassment for england seth as the combat vet after 16 time. as in positive test results vanished from the national tracing system in turn that's been hampering efforts to find those who had been in contact with infected people. thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to code it potentially spreading this deadly virus a time when hospital admissions are increasing and we're in the 2nd wave while the issue did occur at the end of last month data failed to transfer from the labs to the next cell spreadsheet he used to tally the numbers the misleading think is suggested that the situation was beginning as a plateau but the missing cases do confirm the country still on an upward path you case health secretary was forced to admit the mistake. this incident should never have happened but the team of acted swiftly to minimize its impact now it's critical that we work together to put this right what i can say is that all those people obviously being contacted and the key thing is as i say that everybody whether it be in this group who would generally should should so pricey that's the way to make it work when the area was 1st announced was an outcry online not least because it was revealed the supposedly world beating test and trace system was using an outdated version of excel that shocked many considering the billions that had been spent developing the app we got opinion from people in the. we're losing lives every day and we know small numbers what are the big numbers saw this is serious business the number 40 would come to these to go to new and i imagine they'll develop it as time goes on and there's no real president for the n.h.s. 6 think 1000 if that because it to be too late for people to 1000 body into. it will open up a victim in the case of the repository they could it dished out a lot better and they looked at it and i doubt we'd be in such a heartbeat if it meant that if a government going up to rethink from here. think people will lose interest because obviously mission people seem. to know their expressions to something that should feel guys already should be positive probably while the corona virus is once again tightening its grip on the russian capital to because the last 24 hours have seen more than 4000 new infections recorded and that has led the city authorities to bring in new restrictions mccarron has more. well the russian capital has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of new covert cases up to $4000.00 per day this comes as the country as a whole sees this sharp increase in the number of cases the highest it's seen since the beginning of may this year now the russian capital unless a case of be on it has said the situation in moscow is becoming more serious by the day the situation with 19 is getting more complicated and dramatic day by day in terms of identifying new cases we're preaching the peak we had in spring the number of those hospitalized today has exceeded a 1000 people the op would trend continues now with such a substantial increase in numbers talk on the street has turned to whether moscow is heading for another lockdown however there's no official talk of that as of yet however things are tightening up starting from this monday schools were told to take a 2 week unplanned holiday on top of that people over the age of 65 and those with chronic illnesses will not be able to travel for free on public transport across the city starting from this friday on top of that tickets will be exclusively electronic for places like theaters and other the news and businesses citywide have been told to send at least 30 percent of their employees home to work now on top of these measures to health care facilities have been reopened to cope with the rising number of cases those are the circle in the exhibition and convention center and the score a ice palace now these were built especially to cope with the pandemic. to be and then the most going there was that and highlighted what a critical role these 2 facilities will play in the fight against the virus certainly a good bit of truth in these hospitals do not exist separately they are part of the moscow hospital infrastructure leading the fight against covert 19 these clinics these inpatient facilities provide necessary medical staff. for the backup hospitals i hope they'll work effectively and will save the lives of many people in moscow so moscow is at once again bracing itself the city or thirty's have said that these measures should be enough to stem the further spread of the virus however as we have seen in other countries everybody has to play a role we're all responsible for following the rules wearing our mosques keeping our distance and washing our hands because nobody wants to return to another lockdown. after 24 hours of chaos on the streets of kurdistan following a disputed election in the country's electoral commission has now an old the result of the vote one person was killed in the violence and more than 700 injured as protests in the central asian state descended into riots. i'm

meantime current member of government to clear that they continue to fulfill their duty. yes the national bank called on commercial banks to still be there too which is until the situation is could fight believe is a political movements continue negotiations themselves it is not known what the president of the country certain budging because he's going to do in this situation the demonstrations are likely to continue but perhaps the cold evening will make its own adjustments to more small enough for russia today from. now before we go we're going to leave you with a threat but beautiful sight from china because the country is now celebrating its made or some festival holiday and in one province there local tourists have a chance to experience this. last pictures to end on so that's

1000000 school aged children are now homeless number of homeless families world in suburban us has risen by 60 percent. one moment that trains are now women about 10 percent according to the v.a. but most long term housing is designed for that and that's why some volunteers are making a difference helping women veterans and their families. in the current cold not you know if you want a real hero remains to be a war fighter well i mean you have experienced some pretty cold nights out here but the navy used to play one of the toughest load. always average due to the kind of locations that we find people use your resume don't you know this is the whole right what is it called new to. me what you know about to see is turn respected this mentally disturbed homeless man illegally camping in the hills of albuquerque new mexico will soon fall victim to police bullets i'll tell you would be my honor to perform going to almost every day that goes by the media you hear about education. jobs
