But in sport the man behind the football leagues website that led to corruption investigations across europe has gone on trial and he will be here with that and the rest of the sports. Base who is calling on russia to cooperate with an International Investigation into what happened to kremlin critic alexina valmy doctors in germany when the volley is being treated say that he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent but russias government says that it has no evidence of any crime and is there as lawrence lee reports. The russian government insists it had nothing to do with the poisoning of the arch critic of president putin alexina valley the state hasnt opened a criminal investigation despite the valley apparently being poisoned inside russia by a weapons grade nerve agent novacek which is only produced in russia in the latest exercise in banging their heads against a wall in the valleys legal team went to court in moscow accusing russian investigators of not doing anything to the surprise of nobody their case was thrown out still they said they would keep trying to mothers of its passports Congress Comes that we will appeal this decision at the most specific caught and you will also ask the following activity being illegal the failure to consider the claim if it all to check definitive launch a criminal case on the deliberate poisoning of election about. After the European Commission said it was marshalling its forces to get russia to focus on the poisoning nato has now involved itself as well arguing it has the right to do so since the poisoning was a breach of International Law made dollars agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer the russian government must fully cooperate with the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons an impartial International Investigation those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice yet when he was asked what exactly nates a would do next he could only say he would continue consulting with allies the problem for nato and everyone else is that if there was a crime it was committed on russian soil and without russian consent in an investigation where they go next is totally unclear Lawrence Lee Al Jazeera lets go left out of moscow alexandra. Is there for us or xandra what is the kremlin saying in response to natives call for its cooperation in an International Investigation. Well adrian minister of Foreign Affairs of russia responded to your statements and he said that russia has nothing to hide but he also said that russia has nothing to react on since russia was not presented with any facts or evidence that they requested about his health and about what was found in his blood or urine so that they cannot react and they cannot proceed with their investigation before their requests have been answered he called this loud statements from a public tribune instead of replying to official request he also said that russia is by now skeptical since this he said happened before and interesting enough you mentioned the case of sergei script by poisoning saying that also then russia asked for what was so found that exact xs basically to the findings and was denied now i mean keeps on repeating that nothing was found in russia itself and that they are investigating in fact it is a breach investigative process what theyre saying is that so far they found nothing and whence they are presented with what the german doctors found in the german labs of this governor then they can decide whether there will be a criminal case or not other public members are actually political figures here in russia commented on the statements of general secretary of nato stating that actually its not their place to interfere in that and they have no mandate in such matters and we also heard what we heard in the file case as well that the russia has nothing to show to the organization for provision of chemical weapons since they are not producing enough the chalk well these are things that keep on repeating themselves not only in this case of the finally poisoning but we heard them before in the case of sergei scree by poisoning one thing in. Yes for sure that said such statements coming from nato and also from the e. U. Leaders are going to further strain already strained relations between russia and specially between nato and russia where there is no love lost for quite a while alexandra style of its got for reporting live there from moscow alexander many thanks indeed the tension between turkey and greece over Gas Exploration rights was also raised by nations secretarygeneral he says theyve started talks thats despite a denial from greece which says the talks will only happen once took a ships leave the disputed areas in the mediterranean what nato is doing with arm trying to do is. Not to address the underlying problem about to de conflict and to try to develop and hands mechanisms for decon fiction. As long as we have so many ships in the Eastern Mediterranean we believe that there is a need to have technical talks on how to. Develop the mechanisms and hans mechanisms for the confliction turkeys foreign minister is accusing greece of lying about the nato initiative not theyre going to stick at it the nato secretary general asked for greeces views and greece gave the go ahead and after he got the go hed the nato secretary general made an announcement we were not surprised but unfortunately grace refuted the nato secretary general but it is not the nato secretary general who is lying it is greece itself which is mine.

Patients taking part in the Clinical Trial of a Coronavirus Vaccine in russia of all developed antibodies according to a report in the Lancet Medical Journal us the lancet says the trial is too small to prove the vaccine safety and effectiveness 40000. 00 volunteers have used for the trials the kremlin has denounced International Criticism of vaccines Rapid Development saying that its an attempt to undermine Russian Research lets bring in derek gatherer who is just at Lancaster University in the u. K. Because you have a with that have you with us again derek is the kremlin right to be rather miffed at the fact that everybody seems to be pouring cold water on russias development Quick Development of this vaccine. I think know theyve released some data i think people will probably be a bit better disposed towards this particular saga in the beginning nothings been raised it was all very secretive but no we have data in the lancet today from the combined fees 12 Clinical Trial and that means that we can for the 1st time gator course look at the procedures that would be used we can see how many patients are in the trial we can see what protocol was for administering the vaccines and can also look at some of the follow up safety and. The lab results on the volunteers we dont know yet anything about real efficacy of the of the vaccine and preventing infection and that will come later with the face 3 trial which has been under we know for about 3 weeks and russia but i think know that we have we have something to look at something for people to critique it in detail some of the criticism will be somewhat and we can get down to looking at this and that facts so how long will this phase 3 trial take and then how long before the vaccine actually comes to market will russia be thought to bring a covert 19 vaccine to market. Well to mark it is a complex process that the russians have already given approval for use of the vaccine within russia for for limited use within russia even though the vase 3 trial hasnt been completed so there are certain say actions of the of the russians to sightsee that are receiving the vaccine as if it had been approved and in fact in china there are 2 vaccines that folks have been approved for limited use within china but its very doubtful with vaccines that have been given a school who approval will be given automatic International Approval with very satisfactory results in the fees to be Clinical Trials and without International Approval and theres very little chance that we see it any of these 3 vaccines either the russian one or the 2 chinese ones in Major International use on buoyancy or f
