There thanks for joining us this is r. T. International. Begin this hour with the very latest reaction from the kremlin on the election of the case that spokesperson says that moscow doesnt understand what prompted berlins claims that the russian Opposition Leader was poisoned by a nerve agent to me to put skull falso revealed that the russian president has not discussed the issue with anglo medical aunties peter oliver has more from berlin. Moscow is far from happy with the way this announcement was handled by their german partners the Russian Ambassador was called in for a meeting at the Foreign Ministry only after statements had been made to the press the following his meeting said again the Russian Ambassador said he wasnt presented with any facts from his german colleagues the Foreign Ministry in moscow has called this megaphone diplomacy what we knew but that only if there was any data we would work with that there is no data there are only statements amounting to megaphone diplomacy because theyre voiced by Foreign Ministry many were waiting to hear what the doctors had to say the russian doctors in arm 6 year their conclusions with the public and provided facts and data thats not something we see here the ambassador of the Russian Federation was invited to the Foreign Office and informed about the contents of the German Governments declaration in the socalled nevada only case however no fact based documents were given to the ambassador the Foreign Ministry went on to say the usual lines of communication between him and moscow were ignored in russian requests werent answered we did hear a lot from chancellor merkel and foreign minister of germany heiko months on wednesday though heres what they had to say and since bush took to the informant soon it is of this that one of the lead in a position figures in russia has been poisoned as specialized laborde 3 of the armed forces came to a clear conclusion and that i would say never in the was poisoned with a substance from the norwich a group hes the victim for crime someone tried to shut him up the aisle following up with the sleep we demand an investigation into the poisoning of aleksey now while we condemn this poisoning and in the near future will hold consultations and how europe can adequately respond to it it will also depend on russias response to the case well chancellor merkel also pointed out that the eyes of the world were watching the case and thats. Certainly been represented in what weve seen both leaders of the United Kingdom and e. U. Leaders voicing their concerns over the situation its outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against. We have seen 1st hand the deadly consequences of novacek in the u. K. The russian government must now explain what happens 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 me was attacked i didnt know the agent in his own country this is a despicable and cowardly act once again that betrayed his need to be brought to justice conspicuous by his absence when it comes to International Reaction with u. S. President donald trump however his democratic opposition in the upcoming u. S. President ial elections joe biden did say that the lack of a response from President Trump showed that he was weak on russia something that biden promised he wouldnt be and that the novelli case was just another example of that alexei the volley took ill 2 weeks ago on a flight from siberia to moscow hes been here in berlin since the 22nd of all guest doctors say that hes in no acute danger has no acute danger to his life but he remains in an induced coma at the shot at a hospital here in the german capital germanys claims about what happened to the van is seen western politicians demanding sanctions against russia including ones targeting a major joint Energy Project the government however says it sees no reason for sanctions and doesnt view them as appropriate on his right because the digs deeper into the allegations being thrown in moscow. Nuvi choke again they say there are tourists talks in that his heaped infamy on russia over trucks a group of toxins by the way with slightly different variations of liquid gas powder one of the deadliest substances known to man rebel solves bre the huge operation launched there hundreds of people in full hazmat gear everyone afraid of exposure and here is apparently exposed to this new variation which by the way can evaporate and become airborne at Room Temperature and hes flying in a jet where he feels sick scores of people crammed together and no one doubts reports feeling the thing including the people he was with if the germans had got clear evidence of no virtual Something Like that being used they should give that information over to the russians and the russians and that didnt happen with scruples on the souls and i doubt whether or happen again and theres many questions like you know he was on the airplane then he landed why isnt anybody else i mean again another echo of this ripple case as far as i can see we need some transparency here before we start escalating this into any kind of sanctions trade war or. Any kind of military conflict there are a lot of questions now speculation and rumors and thinks this is a time to wait to let investigators collect the facts unless you want to use the moment the confusion the hysteria the anger to tear up russian german ties to stop a pipeline for example hope to the north stream to pipeline to hold the russians accountable. The obvious murder attempt by the mafia like structures of the kremlin can no longer just worry us it must have real consequences that is why a very clear answer is needed here north stream 2 is nothing that we can promote together with Russia Germany says it will share its lab results and findings with e. U. Nations and get this nato new response to russias offers of a Legal Assistance and medical corp russia will learn that the value they have been poisoned not from the German Government but from the news if the aim is to justify some previously prepared response measures that have already been agreed on it becomes clear why theyre deploying megaphone diplomacy substituting normal corporation with an Information Campaign public appeals to the e. U. And they too and reference to the c. W. Whenever such a thing which started diplomatic reaching the hazards they always have to us. Who is benefiting who does something was benefiting and we have as we have already heard this equation that there are heavy forces would god want a closer relationship between russia and germany specially according to north korea to project but where also that the that you have to ask what could the russian government benefit of such a thing with this whole and politicians there was no danger for the russian government that he could be an election theyre already talking about sanctions guilty by default which is remarkable given the circumstances so the russian government out of the blue decides to poison an opposition politician who has been after the kremlin for years using one of the worlds deadliest substances which russia has said repeatedly it doesnt have. So they do this improbable and highly stupid thing and these survives it eagles to a russian hospital where the doctors do everything to save his life get him stable and they succeed the russian government which just apparently tried to kill this fellow greenlights a private jet to said him to one of europes best clinics to get help his body apparently the evidence locker treaty banned substances so far that their best version. The trump of ministration is announced that the United States wont participate in a joint global effort to develop and distribute a Coronavirus Vaccine because the World Health Organization is involved it follows the white house decision in july to withdraw from the organization of its handling of the pandemic as an interim also allege the agency is under the sway of china in the morgue and looks at recent developments. The United States will not be joining International Efforts to produce a vaccine due to political concern so many see this as yet another blow to Health Diplomacy the United States will continue to engage our International Partners to ensure we defeat this virus but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt while total can i say sion and china the Global Vaccine Initiative known as kovacs is colead by the World Health Organization 170 Different Countries are participating the goal is to get Global Distribution for several different vaccines after theyve been licensed and approved by the end of 2021 the World Health Organization has repeatedly warned about the dangers of global disunity and near a pandemic they are warning about the need to oppose vaccine nationalism and above all national unity. And Global Solidarity are essential. This virus thrives when we are divided. When we are united we can defeat it when a successful new vaccine is found there will be greater demand then there is supply. Because the mind and competition for supplies already creating bucks emotionalism and risk of price gouging relations between the United States and the World Health Organization have been strained for quite some time despite his praise for the organization at the beginning of the pandemic donald trump made. And all the United States out of the global watched are because theyre failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent Global Public health needs the latest decision from the United States to pull out of efforts for a global vaccine have raised a storm of criticism rolla just and politicians have spoken up so that donald trump is essentially shooting himself in the foot trumps go it alone strategy has already given us the highest death toll in the world at his inaugural he spoke of american carnage and now seems to term and to make it a reality america 1st doesnt apply to condemn ics viruses dont observe National Borders if anyone is at risk we all are refusing to cooperate with other countries on vaccines will kill people this latest decision from the United States to pull out local vaccine efforts may be seen as just the latest example of Donald Trumps ambitious america 1st policies however comes to a situation like this it might not be wise to put pride and politics over your population with martin r. T. New york. Washington has imposed sanctions on senior officials of the International Criminal court to state my pombo says that the i. C. C. Is corrupt and has no or thora to the International Criminal court. Thoroughly broken in corrupted institution. The United States has never ratified the rome statute that created the court and we will not tolerate is illegitimate have to subject americans to its jurisdiction washington is unhappy with the i. C. C. Scare and investigation into alleged u. S. War crimes in afghanistan the courts also investigating americas close ally israel of a possible crimes related to jewish settlements in the west bank and East Jerusalem neither the us nor israel belong to the i. C. C. The court itself has condemned the sanctions. These coercive acts directed at an International Judicial institution and its Civil Servants around president did and constitute serious attacks against the court and the rule of law or more generally secretary of state compares announcement today marks a stunning perversion of u. S. Sanctions devised to penalize rights abuses and kleptocrats to persecute those tasked with prosecuting International Crimes the trumpet ministration has twisted the sanctions to obstruct justice not only for certain war crimes victims but for atrocity victims anywhere looking to the International Criminal court for justice. Human rights lawyer dont go as an International Law should apply to war countries with no exceptions the us for many. Have taken the position that because theyre a mighty as they all share in the world. It doesnt have to be. The international or. Its above International Law and i think trump is just frankly taking that to its logical conclusion the United States has been opposed to the International Criminal court it least as to the extent that the i. C. C. Could prosecute western countries from the very beginning and now trump is sanctioning it because it wants to investigate us war crimes in afghanistan and israeli war crimes in palestine to be fair for other countries to say look us you know whats good for the goose is good for the gander if the International Law doesnt apply to you it doesnt apply to me. Takedowns google and apple have rolled out a new coded 19 content Pricing System but critics say it might compromise previously more not after a quick break. The leftist senseo 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 one way to do that is by saying its ok to loot the Small Businesses and the bad is thats a. Really common demand just her social unrest looting and violence so thats what the left is up to now. The world is driven by shaped by. The day or thinks. We dared to ask. Bunk the republican is demanding that japan pay damages of 34000000. 00 it wants the money to support his fishing industry the tons of oil spill from a japanese ship last month the money comes after a mass demonstration in the capital of malicious of the governments inaction in dealing with the crisis focuses called on the islands leader and other top officials to step down locals a furious as the spill and cleanup operations resulted in irreparable harm to the on this. I am. We spoke to journalist all of a tickle he says that too much time has been wasted. The japanese government does seem to want to put a line on the incident. But. It falls short of taking full responsibility no one has acted. With integrity or with urgency there was a precious time window of 12 days between the original accident taking place on the 25th of july and the boat breaking up and releasing oil on the 6th of august and 1 has to wonder why you know why was all that time allowed to pass in some kind of Marine Rescue could have taken place and is only really the local people of the richest people in the fishing communities that have been affected by the oil spill who really seem to have done everything that they possibly could in order to put this damn it right and who deserve the highest praise for what theyve done. Google and apple have announced the new coven 1000 Contact Tracing system which runs on smartphones their ideas to help users find out when theyve come into contact with an infected person and the tools are integrated into the i o. S. And android operating systems meaning theres no need to download an app the next step in our work with Public Health authorities on exposure notifications were making it easier and faster for them to use the exposure notification system without the need for them to build and maintain an app. The new system called exposure notifications xpress will work like a notification tool that uses bluetooth signals from smart phones that have opted in if someone tests positive for go over 19 push notifications will be sent out to other phones informing users they might have been exposed to the virus however there are fears that the new updates may pose a threat to peoples privacy we asked people what they think. And a good idea again its invading privacy and if its just another form of china track. I know you care about your privacy but you care for other people you know its you know for the benefit of the success of the city you. Feel like apple and google probably could use it for profit but like in the case of call of it i think you would probably be helpful and just sort of feel comfortable with big brother knowing everything that age you you know its that thats the 1st step to controlling people you know were going to do we got to do to get this virus into control we spoke about the change
