For a good day for russia here in moscow just to midday now then this friday of the 11th of september my names kevin owen here for the next half hour with the latest update for you. U. N. Envoy says perlin has yet to provide grounds for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition figure alexina vonnie citing the lack of information thats been shared with moscow silly bandz he was responding to calls by western powers for a wide ranging probe he also suggested there may be more to the claims than this seems. The school uses them but the raise questions well. Being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in. These leaders leads us to an unavoidable reply question legions. In search situations weve won you trace it. Was who used to benefit from this the one that one if you demand explanations will defects on the table and well compare notes one should with the last elite geishas uncle a very good by evidence even this isnt you seem to be your reasonable. But in moscow are both demanding answers over the alleged activist poisoning germany says its handed over all its data on the case to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the o. P. C. W. Says no nothings been received yet of elderly care fell into a coma a flight to moscow last month his plane made an Emergency Landing in siberia where he was initially treated doctors there attributed his illness at the time to a metabolic disorder divel that was eventually airlifted to berlin for treatment germany announced he had been poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from another choke group of substances the opposition figure is now recovered from a coma he was in the meantime senior politicians in berlin a piling pressure on the government to pull out of the north stream to project over than of any case the major gas pipeline connecting russia to germanys june to be ready by the end of the year but the head of the German ParliamentEnergy Committee believes that abandoning it now would be a disaster. In what is the correct north stream to is not putins project it involves a large number of European Companies and is designed to ensure the security if europes gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the 1st it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the German Government and of course it will affect gas prices in must be clearly understood that this is not a game. The pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against International Law and we dont accept it i can see the many people who might not have fully understood the story a thinking now will show them but i think its completely wrong 1st of all we need to establish what really happened because i dont think germany knows i think we should respond appropriately to the russians request for Legal Assistance we obviously received such a request but according to the russians it is so for gone unanswered. Around 13000. 00 migrants have been left in the shelter after europes biggest refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos burned to the ground the facility was notoriously overcrowded hosting 6 times more residents than its capacity and that added to an already catastrophic situation because the camp a been a lot over almost 40 covert cases there the greek government warning those displaced by the blaze will not be allowed to the mainland however locals also dont want to come to be rebuilt its impasse theyve rallied to try to block heavy machinery from entering the site as well as trying to stop former camp residents from breaching the islands capital Rights Groups warn they were also prevented from delivering aid to the migrants where it all comes as germany now is in 10 states will host some 400 unaccompanied minors from that camp although some doubts the block can provide any Real Solutions to the crisis to as our europe correspondent peter oliver explains. Thousands left without shelter described as a humanitarian disaster by politicians when it comes to who is responsible for the fire at the morea refugee camp the greek government is blaming the refugees. Up inflection imminent everything points to the fact that the fire was started as a result of the dissatisfaction of some guests of the morea center due to the necessary isolation however those who have been watching the situation on less forced to tear erate say it encapsulates the failure of the e. U. Whose migration policy the european idea has gone up in flames European Values of a community of solidarity standing for peace and human rights and meant to fight against National Agate ism racism and hatred of others the blaze in moria has focused the attention of a year leaders back home to the plight of migrants stranded on the greek islands with many pledging to help our friends which is sent ships of its own so how was the displaced we have to clarify as quickly as possible with the e. U. Commission and other helpful e. U. Member states how we can support greece france has never showed away from its responsibilities and is as always ready to take its part in solidarity we stand ready to support with Member States our priorities the safety of those without shelter talk of solidarity is all well and good but its the same message weve heard since 2050 its time to say some for action. Stop looking the other way the lives of 13000 people are in danger due to the fire that destroyed the refugee camp in moria the e. U. Must act now to relocate people that need protection lets put into practice the solidarity that we preach here in germany theres been a chorus of voices calling for more help for the thousands of people seemingly abandoned in the camps. My me. And i mean. There have been attempts to make the situation better cash is being thrown at the problem and also has to take some migrants to all the Member States in the e. U. Being welcomed but its not enough to make a real difference so the e. U. States want to see an overhaul of the system to make it mandatory that those seeking asylum in the e. U. Be shared among e. U. Nations however thats face stiff opposition from poland and hungary the world and to tame the idea the focus of attention is back on asylum applicants and the contradictions in which they live because of this fire in moria whether docked attention turns into genuine action all only goes as far as calls for solidarity thats down to e. U. Leaders peace all over r. T. The global migration displacement lead the red cross says the e. U. Definitely must step in to avert a humanitarian crisis. Been calling on all at all think orders and including of course he used me a new member thing to do to support her greece in in founding solution to what is in reality a problem that has been going on for far too long what were asking is that you are allowed to walk to the mainland to do you and i know how to be accommodated and think location as much as possible and that took literally the most vulnerable such a high number of our anna coren in mind and what we would like of the european states Member States from the e. U. They provide more solidarity and support to the greek authorities and exploring opportunities and horribly locational on the last one. If you amy has passed a bill urging world powers to recognize a position leader as the rightful president its after a month of violent unrest in the country following alexander looking showing his contested election victory. The Lithuanian Parliament calls on the International Community to support the demand from Straight Line and 2nd of scale the leader elected by the belorussian people and from the Coordination Council established at her invitation as the only legitimate representatives of the belorussian people for holding new transparent and democratic president ial and parliamentary elections we call on the International Community to consider any domestic or Foreign Policy action by the illegitimate leader of billy Reese Alexander lukashenko aimed at leat just amazing his power and conclude a new agreements with russia which restrict the sovereignty of the russian people to be a crime against his people so if you only becomes the 1st country to recognize fiddler to kanada skier as leader chief led homeland faller through a near you may recall after the august election and shes made several video appeals to the International Community of late to to help force look out and as she put it she set up democracy and other us the e. U. Has now slapped sanctions 2 other countries officials over alleged fraud as well as violence against protesters brussels are there but it did not recognize the outcome of the elections. We do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize Nicolas Maduro from this point of view maduro and Lucas Shanker in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing their democratic legitimacy meantime mass rallies are continuing in belarus for a 4th week since that disputed vote violence broke out immediately after the count was announced back on august the 9th when longtime president oleksandr local schenk was handed another 5 years in Office Although initially marred by clashes as we reported back then and Police Brutality the demonstrations lately have become much more peaceful or political analyst when eros 1st notes listen to any would not a thinks have made its declaration and supported taken obs without the backing of larger powers here. Its a signal that is being shown to look at. Forces major forces Political Forces behind because you know i wouldnt take such a measure which is illegitimate according to International Law if there was no support by the European Union or who knows. I see this. Not too intelligent. To blunt it because it shows clearly that the situation in. The us is not only divided one side is also in danger of being taken over by external interests therefore i see it in political terms and not. Elections in minsk. Francis said. Corona virus Daily Record Health authorities reported 9843. 00 new confirmed covert 19 cases on thursday as the most since the start of the break 20 new diagnostic centers are to open in paris region is soaring public demand for tests is put huge pressure on Health Facilities there charlotte had been reports for you from the french capital and make the scramble to get ahead of the curve the french government promised 1000000 tax would take place weekly by september and by hook or by crook it has succeeded in doing just that this is just one facility but people can get tested for 19 so much so you get 20 new Testing Centers for the virus to open here in the paris region but the clamor for testing has caused other problems Testing Centers are apparently struggling to deal with the volume of people wanting to find out if they happen it there are delays. Getting access to liberal trees in queues at Testing Centers in paris and elsewhere right now is taking an average of 3 and a half days to get tested the French Health minister hitting on quite a Crucial Point to kill is like this which are not uncommon could contain some people who are infected and indeed contagious the person the symptoms and who may have been in contact with an infected individual has to be tested urgently they must not be turned away from a laboratory because there is no theyll ability we have to work amounts because its not acceptable to options today to get tested wait 7 days for an appointment in a lab wait for hours and centrally on standing under the hot sun i tried the 2nd option but with a 39. 00 degree fever i did not last long i called the labs of raw no places for 7 days plus 5 days to get the results or wait in line for 2 hours while sick and with no Energy Question is a test still relevant if done 7 days after symptoms start while standing in a queue for hours may be frustrating whats perhaps frustrating people even more are the delays in getting their results people are threatening to sue us because they missed their plane because of the delays in the tests we work like crazy and everyone is unhappy delays could also mean that even if you tested negative for 19 while waiting for the result you could have contracted it but this is not just a problem here in france across the English Channel they are also struggling the Health Minister there though has pointed the finger of blame on people who are symptomatic if you dont. Unless youve been. By local authorities going to test youre not eligible for a test on the flip side some are suggesting the volume of tests. Taking place in countries like france even though more than a 1000000 a week still isnt enough they are doing 1000000. 00 per week thats not so much for a country of 67000000. 00 people and also what they are doing it for personally so theres no logic theres no strategy and thats not good but if the abortion result already under the cosh wouldnt 10 times the number of tests cause even more of headache there is a way around this Rapid Testing delivered in that than half an hour which is available at some pharmacies for a fee problem is these new tests seeing is being less reliable leaving some even more confused about what to do than ever so much even ski r. T. Paris you know what a crazy year doing ok thanks for watching our 2 international today with coming up this is bigger the news will the British Government. Legal threats get hotter and hotter as looks to override the big breakfast divorce. I refuse to be on the side of people who want to kill each other i want to stand intellectuals are always and i think theyre all wrong no to violence no to bloodshed yes to think. Less. War. So as promised tracking this then the e. U. Is threatening legal action against britain if it goes ahead with a bill to override the brics it divorce treaty londons issued an Immediate Response insisting it wont drop the legislation despite early admissions that it breaks International Law shut it was dashed explains. The British Government is trying to reinterpret the special arrangements made for Northern Ireland in the Withdrawal Agreement the e. U. Would essentially say its as if the u. K. Is trying to rip up the Withdrawal Agreement that the u. K. And the e. U. Spent so long trying to rectify and in turn the e. U. Is saying to the u. K. You have a 20 day deadline to completely u. Turn on this the Withdrawal Agreement contains number of mechanisms the legal remedies to jens mileage and so the legal obligations contained in the text which the European Union will not be shy in using for the e. U. Its almost its Worst Nightmare they say the u. K. Has totally broken and violated International Law theyve also broken trust and also risks the future relationship with the e. U. To now its all about the u. K. Deciding as i say to try and reinterpret this special arrangement made for Northern Ireland almost essentially saying that ministers in essence can export declarations of goods from britain to Northern Ireland and while that might seem like a nice option on paper even the United Kingdom is admitting it is a violation because god is great in a very specific limited boy we have the power to disappoint your concept to create required by school for a certain very tory deformed so whos going to say weve also got a government response as well to the e. U. They would argue that the internal market bill is in good faith they argue its designed to try and unify the u. K. s 4 nations and therefore that is the crux of why theyre trying to get this bill forward next week all m. P. s will be voting on it they say that it is really designed as i say to try and unite the country so there is the argument there that maybe potentially that u. K. Is trying to apply a lot of pressure on to the European Union having said that its caused a huge huge uproar in many diplomatic circles and sending shock waves politically the strategy in behavior of the British Government was one of brinkmanship was one of threatening to crash a. You know if if you dont if we dont get to an agreement we might go ok mike hows your news that sort of thing trust has been eroded. Tension has been created doto been created and thats not conducive to silence of course emotions and although we do not want to deal at any cost we urge britain to work with us constructively in fun compromises the interests of both sides any of them by britain to undermine the agreement would have serious consequences burning bridges with the European Union may not be that much of a surprise but this political stunt seems to have further consequences because now were hearing from across the pond the United States is warning london that if indeed this bill violates the good friday agreement well therell be no possibility of having a postbox at u. K. U. S. Trade deal but as far as trade talks go then between the u. K. And the e. U. Over the last few weeks over the summer theres been very very little wiggle room if seen a complete stalemate position of course this certain controversial political stunt from the u. K. Will only add fuel to the fire. Strategy. That warned that the era of Global Economic growth is coming to an end and were about to see drastic changes to the Way International politics are conducted. The world is on the cusp of a new era that will be characterized initially by disorder with the likely loosening of the globalization that created the rapid economic and asset price growth of the last 40 years. Researches believe that this year marks the start of a new structural super cycle accelerated by the pandemic they predict the u. S. And china will be locked in an economic conflict reminiscent of the cold war governments and companies will be overloaded with debt europe will face a make or break decade coming up and the world could see either a new technological revolution or maybe the bursting of a big tech bubble. The problem is the stimulus from the Great Recession was largely monetary stimulus a lot of it went into financial asset markets not into the into the real economy now this crisis really is as collapse the real economy 4 times deeper and worse that it was the 10 years ago so its going to take a massive fiscal stimulus which i dont see happening anywhere i see a lot of my monetary stimulus still but thats not going to produce a really strong recovery its going to take years at least a decade perhaps to grow out of this if they dont really do a significant fiscal stimulus which i dont see this now the shock at tech giant amazons decision to appoint to its board the former head of the n. S. A. The spy agency slammed for illegal mass surveillance of americans was supplier Edward Snowden who exposed the National Security agencys unlawful bulk collection of americans phone records is now raising the alarm and over the appointment of Keith Alexander. It turns out hey alexy is short for hey Keith Alexander yes the Keith Alexander personally responsible for the unlawful mass surveillance programs the caused global scandal and Amazon Web Services has 6 percent of all websites. Xander was n. S. A. Director in 2013 when the snowden leaked those thousands of documents exposing the illegal wiretapping and Data Collection programs alexander became the tories for his phrase collect and target all meaning collects monitor and store all forms of human communication for the u. S. Spy agency he writes lawyer Daniel Kovalchuk says amazon wants his knowledge on how to snoop on and influence people voting decisions through the alexa Virtual Assistant us of course in many peoples homes i would assume they picked him for his expertise and that is ability to gather. Intelligence from people in this case presumably through 1 you know amazons. Mechanism you know its a last box if you have one of those alexa devices in your house that it can and listen into conversations is that based on those conversations devise what types of products it believes you want and youll receive advertising for those products maybe amazon wants to gather information on peoples d political inclinations and what could move them to vote in a certain way sure sadly i dont see it provoking outrage amongst most people again i think most people in america are used to the idea that theyre being spied on in different ways i think theyre used to it and not particularly upset or rich which is troubling but that is my sense of things. The death toll from the unprecedented wildfires on the west coast of the u. S.
