Dont tell us. From moscow 24 hours a day or are to International Welcome to the program. Diplomatic standoff is deepening and poisoning russian opposition figurehead. Russias foreign minister has said no. To open a criminal probe into the case due to a complete lack of data from germany where not only is being treated. When no one will if there was no nouvelle me they would have come up with another reason to impose additional sanctions our western partners have gone beyond all limits of decency in reasoning in fact they are now demanding that we confess its such a mysterious story given that on the 27th of august we sent a request for Legal Assistance from the russian general Prosecutors Office and still there is no answer we dont have legal grounds for launching a criminal case yet and that is why we are asked for Legal Assistance from the german side of the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin is intensifying russian prosecutors have said theyve sent a 2nd request for Legal Assistance to berlin theyre looking for explanations from doctors whove been involved with the treatment of alexina found information and copies of documents theyve sent the 2nd request because their 1st request has gone unheeded according to the russian side they said that over 2 weeks ago what weve heard though regarding the competition of alexei in the family his his Health Prognosis is that he has improved the shot at a hospital here in berlin where hes being treated has said that hes now able to leave his bed for a short period of time because the Russian Foreign minister has been giving an interview on russian t. V. In which he talked extensively about this case we heard him just a few moments ago giving one point he also said that western partners had cast doubt over the professionalism and skill of russian medical professionals who 1st came to the aid of the lexan of ali. Some of our western colleagues wrote than the valley was saved by a miracle allegedly it was this new tourist nova chuck with a russian citizen managed to survive thanks to a happy coincidence what is this happy coincidence so the impeccable work for pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence they dont even admit that we acted in a proper way our western partners look at us with our guidance because we dare to doubt their correctness and professional. Thats why the dow the professionals move our doctors and investigators says the well missed the lever of hard being set to make a trip to berlin on the 15th of september that is canceled in the wake of this ongoing dispute over the election of ali and what happened to him the german governments were giving their side of vents on monday we heard from stephens i bet the governments official spokesperson saying that the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o. P. C. W based in the hague had started their process of verifying germanys claims that nova chalk not a chalk nerve agent it being used to poison alexina valmy is desired but went on to say that those findings that being backed up by 2 separate laboratories one in sweden and one in france and the boards recent france and sweden have carried out their investigations and confirmed the german evidence that means we now have 3 laborious research working independently from each other which of all reached the conclusion that the substance that caused the poisoning of mr know miley was a nerve agent from the not betrayal group. On cheese day russian president Vladimir Putin and his french counterpart emmanuel micron held a phone conversation to talk about the ongoing Alexei Navalny case in not conversation the russian president said that unfounded claims against russia were inappropriate and that the information the data the evidence that russia requested must be shared with moscow also he said that russian doctors and experts have to be part of a joint investigation into what happened to mr novelli something theyve been excluded from so far on cheese day there is a session of the European Parliament where the e. U. Response to germanys claims that Alexei Navalny was poisoned will be discussed sanctions have been talked about as a potential outcome from that parliamentary session. All of a russia has said should sanctions be placed on them over this than there would be a response. Russias president has called for dialogue between the belle of russian leadership and opposition to end the ongoing crisis in the country following orcus disputed election law or putin has just concluded 4 hours of talks with president Alexander Lukashenko in the black sea resort of sorts arties correspondent brings us more. Just before the trip the official line from both countries from both sides was that the 2 leaders are meeting to talk about cooperation but the obvious assumption by many after a month of mass protests in the Eastern European republic of belarus was that Alexander Lukashenko was heading to russia to seek support from his elder brother thats a literally what Alexander Lukashenko called counterpart Vladimir Putin a few weeks ago well we can at least say that the actual fact that mr putin was receiving the. Russian leader as head of state following the election and discussing moscow minsk ties in the future is clearly some kind of support in its own in in a form of a confidence boost however unlike some of the scenarios that were predicted by the western media and the build up to this the russian government i mean the head of the russian government lot of our putin didnt say a thing about providing some kind of specific support in terms of how to deal with the crisis on the ground in terms of how to deal with the protesters and now i can tell you that when i was reading the forecasts by some western Media Outlets a little earlier for. This meeting i came across theories that went as far as using the word an exception of bell roofs some predicted that mr putin could even try and topple local shango or use Alexander Lukashenko as weakness at this point to reach some of moscows goals in bell routes in contrast to that and we heard from the russian leader that there is absolutely no way that any other country including russia could affect whats gone on and. We want to build the russians to handle their situation without any external assistance or pressure and co manner through dialogue with each other and come to a joint decision on how to move forward however the leader of bell roussel xander look at shango did say that he wants to discuss this issue outside the country we do remember the roofs as part of some of the integration blocks on the post soviet territory including a new regime Customs Union and also the socalled agreement for collective security there are post soviet republics are part of that as well so mr lucas shank oh once to bring this discussion to a new level. We will talk about whats happening in meetings of the aeration Economic Community and collective Security Treaty Organization and there are also things thats work about within the commonwealth of independent states well let me remind you that despite avoiding the worst Case Scenario mr lucas sankoh did manage to somehow calm the situation down and of void a nationwide strike and a full scale revolution still protests are ongoing every weekend there are hundreds of thousands of people that take to the streets in different cities of belarus. And i can tell you that only this sunday hundreds of people were detained as a result of this. Particular meeting with the board on. Board. If we take a step back how are the overall relations between valorous and russia its important to look into the past a little bit as a result of the collapse of the soviet union still minsk maintained a very close ties with russia a number of agreements were signed to form a socalled union state to somehow follow in the footsteps of the European Union in terms of how the countries get along with each other there and during all these years moscow has been a form supporter of further integration deeper steps towards each other however lately especially before the election Alexander Lukashenko made a very bold statements at some point he went as far as calling some of the russian officials traitors and indeed this is how some cracks in this and that gratian began to appear but still we do understand that all along valeries has been a top ally for moscow we can remember some of the impressive projects that have been carried out by the 2 countries together including a Nuclear Power plant in bell reuss besides this minsk is heavily reliant on moscow in terms of finance now we do understand that some of the latest agreements between the 2 countries include a loan that will be provided by moscow to buy. Which is worth 1500000000. 00 and besides this of course. Has always been expecting extended discounts for commodities has always been buying russian oil and gas at lower prices what we heard from mr putin was that russia will try and continue to maintain these close ties and that it will follow up on all its agreements. Russia remains committed to all our agreements including those that arise from the treaty on the union street and the collective Security Treaty Organization. Or closes down and will of course fulfill all our responsibilities western countries have kept a close eye on whats happening and what kind of reaction have we been thing to the crisis from the alliance between russia and belarus with Alexander Lukashenko as president is only strengthening but ironically if we look at the neighbors of belarus for example that is lithuania poland law as these were the countries whose governments. Made some of the most aggressive statements against mr lucas shango lithuania actually recognized. Rival during that election in augusts the legitimate leader of the however when we talk about joint action by europe thats not been finalized just yet but on monday we heard from german diplomats that they are expecting joint discussions over sanctions on to be complete within the next few days and theyre expecting a joint decision by the. 2 by september the 21st now what this set of sanctions is probably going to be going to look like are some kind of measures against individuals responsible for what theyre calling Election Fraud and also repression and weve also heard about potential threats for sanctions from washington so clearly a completely different reaction to whats gone on and bella ruse from the other side of the bell russian border. Moving the program is social gatherings in england scotland and wales not limited to 6 people starting from monday the u. K. Is tightening restrictions amid a sharp increase in covert infections the so cold rule of 6 bombs larger galleries both indoors and outdoors however there are exceptions with larger gatherings still permitted work schools gyms places of worship police are being given powers to crack down on offenders with potential fines of more than 3000 pounds on sunday 3300 people in the u.

Followed i used to organize raves i used to love race but i employ people who organize race. Well brits will seize any opportunity to pay the town bred but this really is the final farewell to a party well making an appearance for. It to another story were keeping a close saw and relations between australia and china are ticking a turn for the worse defended its right to carry out intelligence related raids after beijing lashed out at what it calls barbaric searches of the homes of australian based chinese journalists. Turn australia claimed that the question is who chinese journalists is in accordance with normal procedures which are calling chinas measures hostage diplomacy this statement fully demonstrates the hypocrisy and double standard here and earlier to australian correspondents were a bomb from leaving china the authorities the man did they answer questions on a National Security investigation reporters went to the a string an embassy for a texan on stayed there for several days before being allowed to fly home. Is not just journalists getting caught up in the dispute between the 2 countries to the chinese academics how their strong visas revoked after they were accused of foreign interference one of them chen whole told us what happened i received an email containing a formal you know the you know the be the my. Visa having the Australian Intelligence Organization made assessments i was directly or indirectly all risk to security so i was very much shots and funded and perplexed. You know stu didnt believe at 1st it was well i was still thinking that i might be involved in the ballpark and it was all part of us a fraud scam for someone like me to be you know assessed as offer to a straight a security i think this is simply preposterous ridiculous and i refuse to accept assessments of those developments follow several years of gradually worsening relations really between beijing and canberra professor hong again so useless trivia is simply following americas lead. The seas the mid twentys and. The camera had been you know starting and teach on a campaign make up sort of patients of the socalled trying to stretch your coast you have been attacking a country while also taking advantage of the trade relationship of course china will do precisely and to weaponize cheats you know its gaining some kind of a political leverage and i think actually in the reason he is being so the interests all fortunes and wasnt the only interest whenever it washington and she starts a kind of lead and hes trying to convey all this pursuit of happiness against russia iran we see a kind of like ethical income brought to the support of the u. S. System points is merely i think she only needs of the United States. Afghanistan witnessed more clashes between Government Forces on the taleban just hours after a historic peace talks got on the way in qatar on saturday the peace negotiations were part of a troop withdrawal pocked something between the u. S. On the taliban in february meanwhile the controversy over alleged bunting is on the heads of american soldiers enough ganesan house resurface picking up that story. Some time stories dont become outdated they simply reemerge when certain political entities need them this summer a huge scandal broke out when it was alleged by u. S. Media that russia was paying bounties to the taliban for the killing of u. S. Soldiers though no concrete evidence to substantiate that was ever provided though many have probably forgotten the story and it has now resurfaced conveniently as senators are pushing their russia bounty response act. Days after the dates of the in the months of this act the 6th state should submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a strategy on how the United States will diplomatically counter russian influence in the region of south and central asia now the bill would prohibit all property transactions as well as entry to the United States 5 lattimer putin his closest aides along with many prominent political and business individuals in russia quite a stiff bill that goes after their family members and all the major supporters of this deal happen to be democrats they say they want to send a message to the russian president and apparently his american counterpart congress has an obligation to step in and act put in his embolden by president trans competed lieschen and is increasing his aggressive behavior which includes putting bounties on american troops the lives of American Service members are at stake i urge senators on both sides of the aisle to join us in protecting our servicemembers and sending a strong message to putin now its not all about sanctioning putin or criticizing donald trump there happens to be quite a bit of money involved. There is all through has to be appropriated 50000000. 00 for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2026 for programming that provides rewards to individuals who provide information on russian bounties against United States forces and additional 30000000. 00 will go to combat the influence of russia in central and southern asia but the bill has still more goals in the minds of its sponsors. The russia bound to response act is necessary to protect americans against pieces bounty driven killing and trumps reprehensible in action strong sanctions and other steps will give putin the only incentive he understands hitting him and his surrogates who are so its anti russia anti trump and it promotes democracy but does it really have much to do with the lives of american soldiers that remains of question i would expect any clearer compelling evidence to be made to support these claims well this illustrates the ok nature of the Intelligence Community namely it could be claimed that by doing so those sources and methods would be revealed or that it would compromise an Ongoing Investigation ultimately i dont think the rewards will be paid thats because thats not the real into behind bill here its a matter of public spectacle regardless of those who support or oppose the Trump Presidency i would actually question time this given how close we are to the general election provided that this bill passes the house will be voted down along in the senate one party lines republican members of the senate have tied their careers and fortunes to trump president you call into question 3 of the president s integrity would ultimately undermine their favorite ability among registered Republican Voters in my opinion.
