From casting live from our studios from moscow this is our International Im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us lets get right to our breaking news story here on our International Germany has claimed that russian opposition figure. Was poisoned with a nerve agent from the group is currently in a medically induced coma in a berlin hospital after being airlifted from siberia 2 weeks ago the Russian ForeignMinistry Says its requests to berlin for information on the case have so far gone and answered earlier my colleague you know neil was joined by our correspondents peter oliver. Well german chancellor Angela Merkel said that there was clear and unambiguous evidence that alexei in the valley the russian opposition figure had been poisoned using a novacek agent she said that this they come to this conclusion following testing of samples taken from alexei in the valley at the bundeswehr institute a german military. Tree this credited certified by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o. P. C. W. Going on to say that this was an attempt to silence Alexei Novelli and it was a crime against fundamental values now the german chancellor and the German Foreign minister heiko mass of both called for in this case since the shilton the informant soon it is all there is that one of the leading opposition figures in russia has been poisoned as specialized laborde 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion and that alex he never in the last poisoned with a substance from the north hes the victim for crime someone tried to shut him up. We demand an investigation into the poisoning of alex he now while we condemn this poison alex and in the near future will hold consultations and how you reform adequately respond to it it will also depend on russias response to the case of you peter theres been further reaction both within germany and globally as well weve seen statements from several countries on the way well on the merkel said the world was watching the case to find out what happened to him and thats been represented in the reaction weve seen from european leaders its outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against scene of only we have seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of novacek in the u. K. The russian government must now explain what happened to mr we will work with International Partners to ensure justice is done i was informed by chancellor merkel that russian the position they didnt advise it was a tactic. No the agent in his own country this is a despicable in cowardly act once again that the traitors need to be brought to justice of the nato secretary general again stoltenberg has also commented he said it was utterly utterly condemned the use of a military grade nerve agent while a statement from the white house said that washington was deeply concerned and that they had no reason to disbelieve the statements coming out of germany thank you peter or lets continue in some of the aspects of their it with our senior correspondent. There had been hardly the news about the for near enough a week now in that time russia had said various requests to the German Government for information theyve offered Legal Assistance for russian citizens theyve offered medical corp for the doctors that treated him after his initial exposure to the to the substance before he went to germany and russia had heard nothing back and russia has come out here and said that theyve gone on the record saying you know you want to the visual investigation you want the truth you want to find out what happened why arent you talking back. Instead of a thorough investigation into the joint work. Which should be to establish the truth our partners are empty for more of the same public speaking minutes without presenting any facts russia is too weak to infer an official response from burly to the request from the Russian Security office what is continually being spoken to by regards to these developments is the script case in salzburg in the u. K. A some 2 years ago what whats the link or whats the alleged link between here we have a remarkable situation which mirrors what happened in salzburg back then with the scruples. Entirely and that there is no communication that has absolutely no communication from Great Britain back then susu the russians learned that. Never only had been that they had found new which opened in the valleys system from the news so the germans didnt see fit to to inform the russians through diplomatic channels through through any any of the channels that they have booked but when straight to the head like which is quite extraordinary wait a minute whatever you call this loudspeaker did the diplomacy sort of you are talking so if you having a conversation you are talking to the public rather than the person the another parallel being drew and is new the chalk is one of the most told sick dangerous substances on earth that mankind has discovered this is a tremendously dangerous substance a drop a drop of new jokes if shared out between a population can kill hundreds of people if if it gets into their bodies it is incredibly depending a lot what form its in it dissolves in water it evaporates into the air above 20 degrees celsius which is 3 live temperature and yet we have never found they apparently been exposed to this incredibly dangerous toxin on that flight packed with people and incredibly dangerous substance which evaporates in the air dissolves and lives even if you touch something thats contaminated and nobody else has come come forward that there are and there were plenty of opportunities for people you know to be who is sitting next to him to be exposed. Me to. Come. Yet. Where were things heading when you put all that out when you when you see the developments in the last few hours where does this issue seem to be going well when you when you utilize as we mentioned loudspeaker diplomacy completely stonewalling russia surface hours of the. Hours of the vents out of the thing as you know refusing to share even lab results with russia but the modern day investigate theres often an agenda involved and that agenda is germany has very close ties to russia and there are many who would see germany cut its ties with russia cut its economic ties the north stream to project with billions upon billions you know hes part of europes Energy Future its Energy Future designed to pub billions of cubic meters of gas from russia into the heart of europe german opposition already coming out and saying that we will to put it would seem to get of suspend the entire thing its almost completed merkel had previously said that into the Gas Pipelines and Europes Energy Security it is a separate thing it is separate from politics is separate from from all the drama you know all the. Advantage seeking and she said that in her own words and in a very direct matter go with us i think that we should couple this issue see and in our opinion north stream 2 should be completed the dust hasnt even begun to settle we dont know where this is going to do what we do know is that interested parties. Will do anything will do anything to take advantage of this opportunity and to try and put a split division chasm between germany and russia and i think due to Great Lengths to do so we also spoke to various analysts for their thoughts on election of alis case and berlins findings. If the germans had got clear evidence of nova charcoal Something Like thats being used they should give that information over to the russians and the russians for that answer that didnt happen with scruples and with children and i doubt whether all happen again and theres many questions like you know he was on the airplane then he landed why isnt body else got ill i mean again another echo of the scriptural case as far as i can say we need some transparency here before we start escalating this into any kind of sanctions trade war or gods help us any kind of military conflict lets just think about it for a minute if this triple story was true and that russia tried to murder. Case crippled using nobby chalk that attempt failed spectacularly he didnt die and everybody found out about it russia was roundly accused and it led to a massive diplomatic crisis but we really supposed to believe that russia has done the same thing again though with novelli who is the only opposition politician in russia that anyones ever heard of in the west so youd have to be very very critical us to believe that such a thing is possible it is im afraid impossible whenever such a thing where such a diplomatic reaching thing happens then you always have to us. Who is benefiting who does something was that and we have as we have already heard as it were a sion there there are heavy forces will go want a closer relationship between russia and germany especially according to nazri to project but we are also there being that you have to ask. What could the russian government benefit of such a thing with resists poland politicians there was no danger for the russian government as a sequel to the election were forced to believe that the russians would have youve never tried to get this request and they would have failed fav they would have. Used the same chemical weapon against the volley and they would have failed and at the end it would have given of all me to germany doctors this makes no sense i mean they wont be using a chemical weapon invented in the seventys and eightys for a for something that so they say this is not just not the way russia of russia works and its doesnt make any sense why would russia do this right at a time where its winning so the west is using this again maybe want to show something bad on russia because the cant stand on russia thats the bottom line of course were staying across this story and well be providing updates and analysis on that of all the case and the navajo claims throughout the coming hours right here on r. T. International. The left is sensing a lost in november election and theyre trying to cause trouble theyre stirring the pot and theyre trying to get a little bit of a civil war going but they can blame trump for that and one way to do that is by saying its ok to loot the Small Businesses and that is. Ugly comment meant just her social unrest looting and violence so thats what the left is up to now. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back this is our t. International now 14 suspects have gone on trial in france over their alleged involvement in a series of terrorist attacks in 2015 the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was one of the main targets alongside a jewish supermarket arties show dubinsky reports now from papers. Well Charlie Hebdo is back in the spotlight here in france and thats because as that trial is underway that important trial its decided to take a Bold Decision according to some some of described it perhaps as being more idiotic and that is to republics some of its most controversial cartoons which depict the prophet mohammed the muslim prophet now it was those types of cartoons that were published by the magazine that initially put a target on its back and led to that attack back in 2015 in which 12 people were murdered now back then the world came out in support singhs use 3 sharlee saying they supported the right of the magazine its freedom of speech to publish cartoons like that but by republishing these cartoons again today a montage of them it has reignited the debate here in france over whether or not its ok to blast fim now there has been some polls done the news that Charlie Hebdo was reprinting some of those cartoons and its really interesting the results that have come out this is a poll thats been done by the French Institute of Public Opinion now it found when it asked the french people in general what they thought was this the right thing to do and that the majority of people supported the decision supported the freedom of speech of Charlie Hebdo but when you narrow that field down and only asked that question to french muslims there was a very different response was 69 percent responding that they didnt think it was right to publish those cartoons in the 1st place now everybody seems to be getting involved in this issue from the president right the way across through social media everybody has an opinion and those opinions are polarized there isnt from a freedom to blast fim which is attached to freedom of conscience im here to protect all these freedoms and why would you allow a publication to wreck your kid. Harmony all i see these games this is not freedom of speech this is disrespect in the sentiments of all the muslims around the world still pined in behind freedom of speech it doesnt give people the right to say whatever they want to choose decency and their ticket so freedom of speech will again be used as an excuse to hurt muslim sentiments and our beliefs and while we condemn these actions openly vehemently no heed will be paid because who cares about muslim sentiments anyway now this trial is hugely important not just because its about the attacks but its also about the attacks that took place a few days later on a kosher supermarket here in paris where more people were killed and what the National Anti terror prosecutor here in france are said while this might not be about the men that carried out those attacks because they are dead this is about that why do web individuals who supported them who perhaps finance them or shielded them in the aftermath of those attacks and this also comes as font says interior minister warns that while this trial is about the historical event an event that is still something that is poignant in french memory there is also something that we must remember he talked about and that is the fact that there is still a huge threat of terror here in france it is the internal threats within our walls which has become the most significant and the strongest one which mobilizes the most attention of the Intelligence Services are now also talked about more than 8000. 00 individuals still being on a french database of suspected islam ists that could potentially pose a Security Threat here in france and he said that their full attention was needed on those individuals talking about the resilience of networks such as Islamic State and he also mentioned the number all. Of individuals in prison that are connected to islam is threats and talks about the verticalization in prisons he said that the majority of those individuals who were radicalized in prisons have then gone on to commit their own terror offenses when theyve been released now the trial is about those 2 massacres that surely abdo and the kosher supermarket here in paris and they heralded in a new wave of terror that has and compass fronts now for more than 5 years. So while many people thought the focus would be on the trial starting in paris many people are now looking at what surely emptier was done with the republication of those controversial satirical cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed with many people questioning whether this was the right decision was this about sort of standing up standing up for freedom of speech was this about remembering those who was slain at its offices or is this something that could really radicalize islamists across the world and incite a new wave of terror. Donald trump has ignored calls from local leaders to stay away from the violence stricken city of commercial in wisconsin arriving on tuesday he praised the police. Tensions between Trump Supporters in black lives matter protesters ramped up during his time in the city is the latest u. S. Hot spot for rallies and riots against alleged racism and Police Brutality this is after a black man was shot by officers last month while he was attempting to get back into his car 2 people were killed in the protests that followed the shooting with the city suffering massive damage to personal property and businesses and the president has again stressed that us police are not systemically racist. I think that police do an incredible job and i think you do have some bad apples i think youd agree every once in a while you see something and you do have the other situation to their lender this tremendous pressure and they they dont handle it well. The main rival joe biden is also going to visit can osha he gave a speech after a briefing with education and Health Experts and took the opportunity to slam the president s handling of the crown a virus crisis this time regarding the reopening of schools would be clear the president. Does ministration have done their jobs early in this crisis american schools would be open to be open safely. Meanwhile many voters it appears are turning their backs on the 2 party system and looking for alternatives one growing movement is the new Peoples Party that attracted thousands of americans to its Virtual Convention over the weekend parties and comments. Deep divisions in america and dissatisfaction with centuries of 2 party rule have forced Many Americans so look for alternatives on the heels of the democratic and Republican Conventions 8 Peoples Convention was held gathering the hundreds of thousands of disappointed left wingers and the people must have a. President we dont need a. Rallying cry for a new major party going to be attendees of the Peoples Convention feel that neither candidate really represents a choice for the working class instead they want political leaders who will stand up to wall street and the political elites long. As you. Can tell the criteria of integrity wall street was certainly delighted when joe biden was nominated as the democratic candidate perhaps this is because joe biden has admitted that not much is really going to change when speaking to his wealthy donors i mean we may not want to demonize anybody has made money no 1. 00 standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change another theme at the Peoples Convention was the constant expansion of us wars and the expanding presence of u. S. Military forces overseas as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and will submit a new budget to rebuild our military it is so the plated we will prevail. Were going to have the Strongest Military weve ever had by far were increasing arsenals of virtually every weapon were making our military stronger and more powerful than ever before attendees of the Peoples Convention called for free college for all a Green New Deal and an end to mass incarceration they slammed joe biden for not supporting medicare for all even during the pandemic. With all due respect to medicare for all you have a single payer system in italy it doesnt work there and has nothing to do with medicare for all that would not solve the problem at all protests against systemic racism and Police Brutality that have been gulf the country now have both candidates throwing gasoline on the fire this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he cant stop the violence because for years hes fought management here supporters here supporters and they are your supporters indeed shut a young gentleman ho and killed him now with paint but with a bullet. And i think its disgraceful Peoples Convention attendees voted at the end of their convention to form a Peoples Party that would sweep the us elections in 2021 and hopefully take control of the white house and the us congress by 2024 3rd parties have always existed in america but they generally get marginalized and pushed aside while the 2 major parties dominate the political stage however the Peoples Party is hoping to reverse that trend and become a new force in american politics seizing the spotlight it will mop and artsy new york writer and comedian run the plug on a says that neither of the 2 main parties truly reflect the views of the majority of americans. Its been a very very very long time since there was a new viable Political Party in the United States but if you kind of look at whats going on right now contemporarily i now seems like the time for history to repeat itself and the bigger issue at hand here is just how far the. Pandemic has shown that we have a corporate coup for a government we have a Banana Republic we have a government that not only doesnt give a hoot about Public Opinion but works actively against it and this is by design republicans are only able to be as horrific as they are because of how ineffective democrats are similarly democrats are only able to be as ineffective as they are because of how horrific republicans are. Just not reflect the people who live here the largest voting bloc in the United States are people who dont vote and people who dont associate with either Political Party a desire for me ill be back in 34 minutes with another look at the news this is art international. The leftist senseo lost in the november election and theyre trying to cause trouble stirring the pot and theyre trying to get a little bit of a civil war going they can blame trump but one way to do that is by saying its ok to loot the Small Businesses and that is. A common demand to stir social unrest looting and violence so thats what the left is up to now. Seems wrong. I mean you get to shape out these days become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. During the vietnam war u. S. Forces also bombs neighboring laos there was a secret war. And for years the American People did not know. We mounted laos well my skin is officially the mouth heavily bombed country per capita. Human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this Small Agricultural country Jordyn Wieber went on to another topic that even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for that tragedy and laos want help to the people need in that little land on. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is fake. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a made in the shallow. Greetings and salutations august 26th is womens equality day in america it was created following a resolution proposed by representative bella as bug in 1971 and path. By congress 2 years later though this day is celebrated across america its important to understand that we are still a far cry from achieving gender equality today women are fighting for equal pay for equal work in a nation that values male contributions more than their female counterparts and punishes women for daring to work while being moms meanwhile a man can have a house full of kids and still be seen as capable of climbing the ladder women overall earn 84 percent for every dollar a man earns black women earn just 0. 62 for every dollar paid to white men and kobe 19 has made things worse women are more heavily employed in helping professions and the starbase industry like retail Restaurants Hotels and their lines and those jobs have had the most layoffs and because childcare demands fall more heavily on mothers the ones lucky enough to keep their jobs either were forced to take time off or try to work their positions on nights and weekends to top it all off men are leading the charge to eradicate womens reproductive rights. And turning to politics sexism is once again on the ballot democratic Vice President ial candidate and senator Camilla Harris was dealt the hand of being black any female meanwhile daring to run for high office no rain
