This is r. T. International and call them brave or the headline stories and reaction that were tracking for you this hour 1st the German Parliament has held a session dedicated to the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy the russian opposition activists been in hospital in berlin for almost 3 weeks and recently emerged from a coma and several german politicians are calling for action to be taken against moscow our europe correspondent picture all of us across developments fiery debate in the in the strike on friday night with the majority of lawmakers pointing a finger of blame firmly at russia and the russian government for what happened to alexis the wall some voices questioning the official German Government line but there werent many. And. If the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection from our Security Services political murder is part of the putin system. Im not so not only are the russian supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let no one fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia its absurd the north stream to gas pipeline project was a major factor in the debate the pipeline which would take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany well lawmakers fall into 3 camps when it comes to the Multi National multi 1000000000 euro Infrastructure Project there are those that say it needs to be halted immediately and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and how this story develops and there are those saying that its simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have though you see heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany and on friday night in the bundestag. By north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the German Government has repeatedly argued this by the war in syria just by the use of a chemical weapon insult barry the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate Protection Security policy and human rights. Demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream 2 is in my view has misguided reaction but it pleases those who have only supposed to project especially the greens. To get. Well as germany continues to push russia for an explanation for what happened to alexei novelli the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but its the use of your money the german representative to the un so the data is no longer a matter of by last will relations between germany and russia but amounts for multilateral proceedings what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say in the interests of our german colleagues we urged them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights one absolutely unfounded accusations. Investigators in russia of also being on the search for more Information Police in the city of tomsk which is where alexina valmy had been he was flying from top to moscow before his plane had to make an Emergency Landing in the city of the lex in a valley in extreme distress well placed in tom skipping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane theyve placements in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with alecks in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say theyve been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr novelli they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany. After. Marina picher one of those who was with me in permanently resides in the United Kingdom on august 20 refused to give explanations according to the investigation on august 22nd of this year she flew to germany so it was not possible to get an explanation from her her location is currently being in stablished. There are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexina valmy but as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up germany says its passed on all its information on the election about the case to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog or though russia which is a member of the o. P. C. W says nothings been received yet meanwhile russias envoy to the un has responded to western calls for a full investigation of the zulu incident cannot but raise questions well some poll play being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in walk these leaders leads us to an unavoidable reply nickel question legion lost in search situations weve won you trace it erk weve pulled those who used to benefit from this the one that won it if you demand explanations would deflect from the table and well compare notes one should with the last elite geisha is uncorroborated by evidence even this is as you see beyond a reasonable following up on those thoughts of whom i stand to gain from many diplomatic crisis political analyst John Laughlin believes that the north stream to pipeline provides an answer. Its immediately been joined with the north stream 2 gas pipeline project the germans who previously the german Political Class has previously supported the completion of the gas pipeline very strongly not least because germany doesnt have any other Energy Source and no major cracks are appearing in what was a consensus so the fact that theyre not stream to gas pipeline has been immediately put into the equation into what should be a private Police Investigation shows who would benefit the answer is the american exporters of liquid natural gas and all those in europe who are determined and have been for many years and decades to drive a wedge between europe and russia for the not stream to gas pipeline is not just a symbol although its a very powerful one it is also a reality of bridging the divide between russia and europe and that is what the russian people in europe and in the United States do not want and thats why then of valley business is being immediately joined with not stream to. Theres to be a partial easing of coronavirus restrictions in france the Prime Minister says that the isolation time for people who test positive going to be reduced from 14. 00 to 7. 00 days as despite a new spike in cases with a record 10000 recorded on thursday charlotte eventually reports from paris. I mean the scramble to get ahead of the curve the french government promised 1000000 tests 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 to cope with 19 so much so you get 20 new Testing Centers for the virus to open here in the paris region but the clamor for covert 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 in getting access to the board treating choose it as 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 here queues like this which are not uncommon could contain some people who are infected and indeed contagious the person the symptoms and who move 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 because its not acceptable to options today to get tested wait 7 days for an appointment in a lab wait for hours in centrally on standing under the hot sun i tried the 2nd option but with a 39 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 and 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. Everyone is unhappy delays could also mean that even if you tested negative for 19 while waiting for the result you could have contract it but this is not just a problem here in france across the English Channel they are also struggling the Health Minister very though has pointed the finger of blame on people who are symptomatic. Unless youve been. Local authorities going to test. For a test on the flip side some suggesting the volume of test 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 people and also when they are doing it personally so theres no logic theres no strategy and thats not good but if the abortion results already under the cosh wouldnt 10 times the number of tests cause even more of a headache there is a way around this though Rapid Testing delivered in that than half an hour which is available at some pharmacies for a fee problem is these new tests a scene is being less reliable leaving some even more confused about what to do than ever so much even risky r.
