Program. The European Parliament has just passed a resolution urging sanctions on russia and response to the alleged assassination attempt against. The latest update a little while ago. Well what we could see essentially is tougher sanctions against russia on russians 532 m e ps voting in favor of this resolution 84 against with 72 abstentions what it could result in is asset freezes travel bans another sanctions against those that are featured in Alexei Navalny zante corruption videos could also lead to they also want to see an International Probe into what happened to alexey in the valley when they talk about an International Probe thats including the United Nations the European Union the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and others all to be on side with that and it talks about blocking the construction of nord stream to the gas pipeline that takes russian gas or will take russian gas under the baltic sea directly into germany earlier this week we heard from us that both held the e. U. High representative for Foreign Affairs saying that wasnt within the remit of the institutions to do he said it would be up to the individual Member States that are involved in the project if they were to council out call it off block it in any way or just temporarily suspend it however we have heard from the e. U. Commission president saying now is the time for action and to those that advocate closer ties with russia i say that the poisoning of Alexei Navalny with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off. We have seen the pattern in georgia and in ukraine in syria and saulsbury and then election meddling around the world and this pattern is not changing and no pipeline will change that. Well moscow is still saying burl in must share with them the evidence that is behind the claims Alexei Navalny was poisoned kremlin spokesperson to me to the press corps was also talking about north stream too he says its a purely commercial project and shouldnt be tied to anything political or diplomatic thats ongoing. We strongly disagree with such a statement it seems a deliberate misunderstanding or an unconscious misunderstanding of what really happened to the patient in berlin it is necessary to stop mentioning north stream to in a political context which is a commercial project that is absolutely in line with the interests of russia and the countries of the European Union germany. There was a similar feeling from russias permanent representative to the European Union he said that the north stream to gas pipeline project came about because of the European Union and in particular germanys need for gas a commercial need for that gas that still exists and thats why in his opinion he thought the north stream to pipeline would go ahead as it being planned well alexina valley the man at the center of all of this in his alleged poisoning is said to be recovering in the hospital hes still being treated out here in berlin earlier this week we heard from the hospital saying that he was now able to leave his bed for short periods of time. Or to discuss the move further lets cross live to bill but dr own opponent political analyst the surface for joining us good to have you with us on the program today resolution is passed it is nonbinding of course nevertheless there is a strong consensus clearly given the the majority of votes to take some form of action do you expect any other serious further steps to be taken against russia. Expects a lot of serious steps to be taken but todays with solution is only a small part of a much Bigger Picture which is the Bigger Picture is the changed a rift constitutional arrangements within a few institutions that were set out or made very clear by the whole body of the latest state of the Union Address yesterday she is not an independent force she is clearly reflecting and repeating what she understands to be the majority position security and parliamentarian and that sense we have involved relay d and as close as with ever seen a part of a parliamentary cabinet now the majority of parliamentarians as youve shown by mentioning the figures of how many people voted for this resolution was very little changed from what it was in that the sitting parliament before the may 2001000 elections that is roughly 70 percent of the parliamentarians are shall we say anti russian and 30 percent are either. Objectively looking at whatever comes down the line by way of discussion of russia or our production that doesnt change that its amazing that it hasnt changed because we expected changes from the voting that took place and they too cause one to expect the changes because of mr rudd and his intervention which happened to be the intervention of the book from gillian info or she would not to be the today that the president of the European Commission that it was in from up wrong will seriously misjudged who was going to lead him and it was medical and who was mr micro it is sad to say that the expectations of a more accommodating position of the European Parliament and european institutions towards russia that we expected thanks to leadership from the problem in may 2100. Thats not been realised quite the contrary. Europe says it was russia to investigate the case openly to share the results with the International Community russia has requested the evidence of the german side to do with this alleged poisoning they havent received i havent received that why do you think these demands for evidence sharing a fall on deaf ears because there is no substance d to all the allegations against the russians and everyone knows that the broad public who read the newspapers may not know that anybody who was initiated into International Affairs understands that there is no case against the kremlin while the poisoning least of all when you consider that not only d himself wants to go back to russia why would he go back to russia if he had any just ition but the criminals behind this poisoning its absurd its patently absurd so there will be no investigations there will be no handover of information from the parties. Who are who investigated the. Lab tests they will not be sharing that with the russians because there is no case it is only a propaganda offensive and that was so clearly summarized by the pithy remarks of underlay and in her state of the Union Message which you put on the air a few minutes ago that such a statement could could it just a few easily have come from youngs stoltenberg at the at the nato headquarters we have a geo political crisis in the making. From fatherlands remarks about their roofs. Im supportive of the orange revolution where we can see clearly that under her leadership europe is headed into a serious confrontation with russia. The e. U. Certainly seems to think differently though theyre pretty adamant the evidence is that they said theyve confirmed the evidence with swedish laboratories with multiple about reset the evidence today p c w they certainly does seem to have their point of view dont make what about withdrawal from the north stream to project a lot of countries in the e. U. Are actually saying that project should be put on hold should be scrapped for some reasons but most of all because of whats happened recently would have only do you think the project is at risk because of this alleged attempted assassination is a risk without any question but it does not mean interests of america. To cancel the project it is in her interest to postpone. Postpone it so after the us elections its quite of this. But i think you have to look at the last of the 3 sentences that you that are there are all delivered by my father learned yesterday that this pattern is not changing and no one will change that i dont think you have to be a genius in interpretation going to stand that she was saying that you under her will take no action against. Gilbert doctorow independent political analyst thanks for joining us on the program today sir good to have you with us. Of the European Parliament also passed another resolution concerning but this expressed support for the better russian opposition and for a rerun of the countrys disputed president ial election but yet the latest on a special go live to the bar. Where our 2 Senior Correspondent laura gadsby of is joining us for the latest update more and thanks for staying across events there this resolution what exactly does it mean for butler roofs and indeed for its government for the government. Well so far it doesnt mean very much because it is a recommendation the European Parliament doesnt have any legislative power who you know power to enact or enforce its resolutions theyre more a recommendation for the European Council which is made up of the heads of states of the European Union and what they recommend is that the European Union the heads of states the European Council seriously consider sanctions sanctions against the russian president Alexander Lukashenko of sanctions against those who supported him those who continue to support him even sanctions against russian officials and citizens who they believe supported president theyve also determined that the election was unfair they dont recognize his legitimacy and once his term is up they will no longer recognize him as the legitimate president of better of saying that the elections that took place in august in belarus happened in flagrant violation of the laws electoral laws and International Norms moreover they have decided to recognize the opposite Opposition Coordination Council committee as the representatives of the better russian people which need seem odd because most of its members original members have fled the country one Maria Kolesnik of a is in jail here and in minsk and shes being shes being accused and joe. With trying to seize power and destabilize. Awfully nevertheless the European Parliament has recommended that the European Council recognise the year Coordination Council as the legitimate representative body temporary body of the better russian people at the council itself the committee has stated very in goals from deposing of the president president lukashenko to merely organizing new elections lithuania by the way had previously also recognized the north of one of the rivals running against president lukashenko during the election as the legitimate representative of the better russian people and as as was mentioned earlier you know protests still continuing we see on the weekends thousands upon thousands of people marching down the streets of minsk chanting for the president president hu to reside but weve also seen somewhat of a slowdown there are less and less spontaneous protest during the during the week days this week they have been hardly any public strike organized and called for by the opposition yesterday was a failure they call didnt people and businesses shut down for people to not go to work. That was only about a dozen people joined into this walkout joined into this protest so you know there is there is a market slowdown in this protest mood in belarus. Correspondent more guys the affair from the better our capital thanks for that update. Their bottoms sending out mixed messages on the campaign trail the democratic president ial candidate was speaking in florida about his Health Care Plans for veterans and fortunately you got one of the countrys base wrong saying iran instead of iraq and its not as fast gaffe of the kind. U. S. Troops die in a room in afghanistan theyre in parliament Irans Parliament voted to reject all americans and Coalition Forces in the country we tried it in and iraq is not working so now were going to try i mean in iran and scuse me we try to ukraine i mean you know someone who has been injured or lost in iraq and were. Let me tell you something. We. Well its that conflict in iraq that joe biden has been widely criticized for playing a key role in authorizing back in 2003 at the time he chaired the u. S. Congress Foreign Relations committee and shows all 18 a pro war witnesses in the Main Congress hearings on iraq related out the iraqi leader Saddam Hussein no one had weapons of mass destruction nor ties to al qaida while conservative estimates more than 4 hall 1000 u. S. Soldiers lost their lives across the same number of contractors. A former u. S. Marine corps Intelligence Officer scott ritter told the program he briefed joe biden on the absence of iraqi weapons of mass destruction but was ridiculed. What is a big deal is joe bidens vote for the iraq war and i take it personally because i briefed joe biden in person you know he insulted me when i testified for the United States senate in those september of 9098 about iraq and weapons of mass destruction he little boy he said people above my pay grade were making this decision. And then he met with me in apologized and said he you know you know a lot we should talk about this in 2002 when the lead up to the vote on the war he as you mentioned he hosted a hearing and i did my darndest to become a witness without hearing he ignored me. And it was very rude the way he did so and as you said he brought in prowar wait this is he stacked the deck it was a Kangaroo Court because joe biden wanted to go. The war he always wanted to go to war anybody for that war thats what americans go to a little holding to account for the military is not a litmus test or it can be treated. But you cant run around and pretend that you are mr raw raw google military when you are you know theres not a single nonpolitical combat veteran who is going to give your body the pass on this one joe biden has 0 credibility when it comes to talking about the military talking about war while talking about sacrifice he literally has no credibility doesnt rose. From global news in brief now starting in spain where Police Unions are rallying against what they say is madrids inaction over officers taking their own lives and protests are also condemn the spanish Prime Minister for offering his condolences to the family of a terrorist who recently committed suicide in prison. In the u. S. State of oregon 800000 acres of land have been destroyed by wildfires and Mass Evacuations there of seeing tens of thousands of people flee the smoke and ash 8 people have reportedly died with dozens more missing wildfires have ravaged several western u. S. States this year causing record damage. Asylum seekers in moria have set up tents near supermarkets throughout the island of less boss in the struggle to relocate them to a temporary camp the previous one was burned in a suspected arson attack and police have arrested for afghan moderates on suspicion of involvement in the incident. Still to come here and r. T. International ignorance about the holocaust among Young Americans are sparked some concerns after most dont know how many jewish lives it claimed and that story and more still to come in a few moments time. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back to the program a new survey has found that a significant number of Young Americans dont know very much about the holocaust the 2nd world war the research was conducted in 50 states and found that among 18 to 39 year olds most dont know how many jews were murdered by the nazis almost half of respondents could not name a single concentration camp but most troubling of all 11 percent blamed the jews themselves for the holocaust. Over the majority of those surveyed did agree that it was important to learn about the holocaust in short is never repeated and that holocaust as you cation should be compulsory in schools we asked young people in new york what they learned about it in their history class. Millions of jews jews died couple 1000000000. People died i thought it was 3000000 i believe it was. 6000000 people. The exact number but it. Was a. Pretty big game its weird like now its kind of like theres the conspiracy theorists that think it didnt happen. According to the people behind the nazis and their collaborators set up over 40000 concentration camps and in the 2nd world war and also its a load almost a 1000000 jews were murdered 2 thirds of europes troops were killed in the holocaust. And says the u. S. Education system is failing students. The reality is the american americans generally American Youth or young people in particular are ignorant about history and they get too much of their information from social media and that social media is full of holocaust deniers claim we get never happened saying the jews caused it and thats a general problem that exists with social media but generally it starts from the fact they just do not know history they take perfunctory history classes in high school you know the average history teacher is called not called him mr history or history person or so hes called coach because most history teachers in the United States have to coach a team and thats their primary responsibility is to coach basketball soccer whatever it might be and secondary they teach history and thats the reality of a history in the United States its a National Problem because its impossible for people in my opinion to make political choices if they dont understand history and what came before that and what one of the causes of the violence but again its not only the holocaust its of course the American Revolution the cold war make you a bet that if you asked people what the battle of stalingrad was in the United States these same kids about you know more than 5 percent would be able to answer that question in any sort of relative. Smith sensible way. The shortage of covert testing kits in the u. K. As lead teachers to question the safety of reopening schools if you can staff are among those struggling to get checked our correspondent ali has the latest. It wasnt so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school its much much better for their for their health and Mental Wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all scientific advice is that schools are safe its only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers are founding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that you cant get in england may grind to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home schooled managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home when they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said staff and pupils couldnt book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirtys the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. Teachers that conduct Testing Center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lock down there is an escalating sense that they were end up with a return to lockdown by default its not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the citys nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides and every classroom its left parents to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open. Is clear but they have to be violent and one of the fun things is feedback is that you know. Im selftaught and its as we know its eccentricity versus i think you stance would not remind you given that they have a duty we need they need it and obviously weve been seeing which theres. A leave of the 6th anniversary of the Scottish Independence referendum the alex i want to show looks even changed between culture and the scottish political renaissance the team are backing off an hour the latest join us again at. I max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is the hedge fund its the mice used by professional scallywags to earn money.

Nicole says. They feel trapped for others they feel liberated is hard to quantify the outcome overall but theres a long road ahead. Says its not just a Mental Health crisis anything that isnt covered is being ignored and treatment delayed despite hospitals being empty. Mental health is very important and its people who think otherwise who are part of the problem. Disagree she says the Secular Center view.
