Into question plus sending in the vice squad. In a televised debate just over a week since the chaotic president ial round. Good afternoon youre watching r. T. International. Start with developments in the saga of the russian opposition figure alexina valmy because the Global Chemical weapons watchdog. Traces of a nerve agent from the north family have been found in a biological samples but russias representative to the organization. Until youre given documents materials samples material evidence we will consider all that surrounds this incident an unbridled Propaganda Campaign of lies or simply put a low grade provocation its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country when moscow had sent several requests to germany asking for cooperation in the case but so far that hasnt been forthcoming alexina only fell ill one a commercial flight in late august he received emergency treatment in the russian city of alms committed then taken to germany for further care since then but in his claim that traces of a chemical nerve agent were found in his test results peter all of a is more in the story. The organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has published its findings from samples they tested from Alexei Navalny the results wont come as too much of a surprise to many the o. P. C. W. Found novacek was present those results in a Detailed Analysis were sent here to germany where berlin has been demanding answers from moscow but using o. P. C. W. Finding this as the foundation for allegations is unlikely to sit well in the russian counter so it is in fact even tacit cool story initiated at the behest of berlin by its your atlantic allies together with the leadership of the technical secretary and of dio p c w it has continued in accordance we did preplan conspiracy scenario with the e. U. Council set to meet next week to decide what their reaction to the novell meeropol will be of the German Government demanding serious consequences for the use of a chemical weapon this o. P. C. W. Reports could have far reaching ramifications peter all over r. T. Earlier well the o. P. C. W. Is in the spotlight for another reason to because its former chief Jesse Stanley has been blocked from speaking at a u. N. Security Council Meeting my colleague kevin own discussed this with arties saskia taylor. What seems an irony for the u. N. Which is of course an organization thats all about putting together International Voices about discussing difficult topics it has barred a former chief. Of you from speaking to the Security Council now were talking about the star and hes a brazilian diplomatic he was in fact the foster back to general of the chemical weapons what between 10072002 hes really a figure of a Great Authority he was invited by moscow to speak on the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma back in 2018 but at the last minute he was essentially disinvited by among others the u. S. U. K. And france russia called this a shame they decided to postpone the reading the speech he was scheduled to say and they said the following. What happened today unfortunately is yet another sign that western delegations are afraid of hearing the uncomfortable truth you want to silence objective facts that could destroy the picture you have painted of the atrocities of the Syrian Regime and the infield ability of the o. P. C. W. But it is already clear to everyone that it has little to do with reality im wondering if you understand what an unattractive light you know appear in the eyes of the International Community in general what happened today is a shame and a disgrace so. This is what he said but what specifically is it that he said this ruffle these for this you think well he was planning on discussing what numerous whistleblowers cool and cover up all of those events in duma now just a quick recap of the images of civilians at the mouth washing out their eyes so much investigated and they officially blamed assads government this of course that assad has the basis on which the u. S. U. K. And france conducted strikes but in the following months and indeed years after this a number of former employees came forward and they said we were part of this and. Stations we were on the ground and what we saw doesnt support this official narrative whats even more sensational claim to start in fact any dissenting opinions or evidence was removed from the final report under pressure from the top this is a small snippet of what they say most of the duty of the c. Reports in the instant the interim report in the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally regular and possibly fraudulent well lets hear exactly what was stanley said on all of that the serious questions are now being raised whether the independent impartiality and professionalism of some of the organizations work is being severely compromised possibly under pressure from some Member States weve got lots of whether or not this is substance to the concerns raised about the perceived obvious behavior in the do more investigation hearing what your own inspectors have to say would be an important 1st step in mending youre going to say this is the reputation mobile story has previously paid the price for challenging official narratives and what was described by many as an offensive led by washington back in 2002 percent on he was dogged by allegations of mismanaging the w. It was already quite dramatic the u. S. Representative in fact was booed and one of the sessions when he failed to provide documentary evidence to support that claim eventually though the u. S. Prevailed he was removed from the post saying that he with his independent thought had angered a lot of people in washington that they wanted someone more specifically rumors swirled that his that he had somehow blocks the u. S. Is tough stance on iraq while barring the story from speaking almost 2 decades after foreign him comes of course as the a. P. C. Back in the spotlight is involved in this in tangled political saga regarding alexina vaal me with allegations now that the o. P. C. W. Is. Holding Key Information on his taste many cynics would point out that now of course would not have been a good time for an insider like the star me to reveal that in his and in others experience evidence is not treated secretly within the o. P. C. Of w. And in fact sometimes it doesnt correlate even with reality. Now hospitals in england have recorded the highest Daily Missions since. It isnt adding pressure to a government already under fire for its response to the Health Crisis critics say that the authorities have done nothing but the seeds of confusion with more his shoddy it would stash. And considering the u. K. Governments response to cave at 19 pretty and probably wouldnt be the words on the tips of most peoples tongues over the course of the year the u. K. Has seen thousands of people dying in care homes tests and tracing deadlines set and missed the u. K. Topping the death toll across europe plus of course britain being on the verge of a round 2 and while most people think the governments response needs to be completely written off it seems as though not everyone agrees its been. I think it will be like the lympics thats when its all over and we look back and reflect we will actually be extremely proud of ourselves some people might think a wooden spoon is more appropriate than a shiny metal especially considering the latest news that 16000 positive tests for private 19 have been lost meaning that super spreaders a blindly unaware theyre still spreading thousands of people blissfully unaware theyve been exposed. Potentially spreading this deadly virus Time Missions are increasing in the 2nd wave blunder after blunder critics say the governments not learning from its mistakes but as the country hurtles towards a 2nd wave of the virus confusion is still lingering in the guess with mixed messages coming from. As i understand it. Apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socializing with other households outside go to work but stay at home eat out to help out but dont socialize kick start the economy but stay in your its no wonder the country is confused especially considering the man telling the u. K. What to do is accused of being a tad confused one of the major problems is widespread confusion about the local restrictions people feel very let down a very frustrated very forgotten can we pin all the primal Boris Johnson off to rule these all around precedented times far to go back to all that no Prime Minister has ever fought before a lot of months of economic paralysis Boris Johnson began to im not the look down even though parts of the u. K. Was still plagued with the virus and so the north south divide found its latest partition the timing of the lifting of National Lockdown was london centric please remember this the next time you see politicians pointing fingers at our people on the eve of a 2nd wave many might think the government would know what it was doing by now especially considering its how to round 6 months to prepare but when carrot has been replaced with confusion and the government really expect people to for the rules when it doesnt seem to know them itself shut to address the artsy london. Meanwhile scuffles have broken out in tel aviv between police and protesters who are any good at the israeli governments handling of the pandemic there. On tuesday hundreds gathered to denounce the latest coverage restrictions the protesters have almost demanded to the resignation of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu they claim he is using the virus is a distraction from his ongoing corruption trial is what some of them to say. Of course that is using this crisis in order to remain elusive to avoid to avoid this. We are afraid of trying to. Create. A civil war between us 1st we need to work like we did it get me out so that he she will be there because the. Feeling our democracy. And hes a genuine anger is very strong very strong it will not stop until he resigns or removed. We get rid of him forever. Now more than half of all People Living in extreme poverty in the paris region have been infected with it thats according to new findings by the Aid Group Doctors Without Borders reporting now from the french capital his shot at the bins. The shutters have come down no balls across paris and its in the suburbs all in a pay to fight rising infection rates have closed at 19. 00 its an epidemic this being described as moving too fast and while the overall Positivity Rate for qubit in paris is around 12 percent if you look more closely at those who live in precarious situations such as migrants its said to be much higher Doctors Without Borders that m. S. F. Is now sounding the alarm in what it describes as being the 1st study of its kind in europe it found the Positivity Rate of covert 19 in emergency shelters and in food just. Cintas was more than 50 percent the results show an extremely high prevalence the main reason is the conditions of shelters and be back together which leads to clusters of infection in europe and france no other study shows this type of prevalence these types of figures on this scale can only be found in india or in the slums of brazil but that figure showing a Positivity Rate of more than 50 percent is an average m. S. F. Says that in some centers causing Migrant Workers the rate hit 89 percent a worrying number in places where social distancing can be difficult in president michaels address to the nation in march he promised help for the most vulnerable with them on this i. Didnt i want to ask for sacrifices to slow down the epidemic the aid to the most fragile should not be jeopardized for the most vulnerable the most destitute for the isolated who will make sure they can be fat and protected. So have they been forgotten all those people are usually. Are forgotten. Spontaneous camps and officially didnt exist there was no special policy for them during do a continuation during dependency to arrive to arrive to arrive and we dont know exactly what we can do. Humans and other temporary shelters have long been used as a base when makeshift camps have been cleared when the lockdown began in march here in france hundreds were moved into accommodation like that and that one the idea may have been to offer a shelter and to get people off the streets it may have also offered the virus the perfect grounds to spread the results confirm that the circulation of the virus was more put. Active in the situations where the proximity was the highest that is to say when the person has to share a room kitchen with several other people in places where Migrant Workers are housed together around a 3rd of resident share a room with between 2 and 5 people at 50 share a room with more than 5 people in situations like this its impossible to socially distance m. S. F. Wants a change of strategy we knew that this reception conditions would not work that it wasnt possible to respect very measures we have to change the hosting strategy every surface submitted its report to the ministry of health its hoping by highlighting these desperate situations that there can be a changing here for those whose lives are currently being held in the balance. Arty paris. Meanwhile here in moscow that is continuing to make its presence felt because over the past 20 days infections have been steadily growing again although they are down slightly today said tuesday saw more than 4000 new cases recorded authorities are growing increasingly concerned over the growing numbers while theres no talk of a citywide lockdown yet Wearing Masks on public transport and in Public Places continues to be mandatory and everybody over the age of 65 is being advised to stay at home. Now theres been a huge explosion as a former military facility near the western russian city of prized its thought the blast happened in an old ammunition 2 people have been taken to hospital so far more than 1500 have been evacuated from nearby villages as a precaution firefighters are attempting to bring the situation under control although explosions continue to be heard. After growing fears of an all out war between armenia and azerbaijan theres now a glimmer of hope for peace because i mean it is leaders say he is ready to make concessions in the territorial dispute over the corner cattle back but thats only if the other side reciprocates huge fan of his more dieter. The city of to panic at the capital of the nagornokarabakh region has been awoken by the sounds of bombs this morning just once again in fact some people on the ground have told me that theyve been kept away by the sounds of shelling all the way throughout the night but well the wrist some very very dim hope that the peace negotiations are not around the corner but at least somewhere in the near future the Prime Minister of armenian it has said that if i say or by john is ready to make concessions then well meaning is to. Conflicts should be resolved by Mutual Consent no go to look at is ready for it and will make concessions if as a bush john is also ready for them this is particularly important after the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service have said that they have information that hundreds if not thousands of syrian mercenaries taking part in this conflict members of one of the groups that they have mentioned in their report are the members of the notorious front and if this is indeed true then this is some very bad news for the region because im not sure a front they are as radical and as extremist as it gets they were formerly known as the al qaeda in syria so theres that and also theyre known to have tortured people to have eggs mass execute their hostages bomb civilian neighborhoods and some even allege they used chemical weapons against civilian population in syria so they really dogs of war at the same time turkey a country thats seen as by many as a main power that has a say as to which way this conflict in the go in a cab back fares turkey is sending mixed signals here for instance the foreign minister of turkey has said that well ankara is ready to work with moscow on resolving this crisis but at the same time he refused to acknowledge the equality of the warring sides. To put. John on equal. Footing means reboarding new york you boy the world must be on the side of those who are right mainly on the side of us and the longer this conflict goes on the most civilians suffer just to give you some perspective here is an eyewitness account from the by john yoo side of the conflict. By john is fighting on its own land are many a has occupied as a red johnny land my ancestors died for this cause as you can see the armenians destroyed my house but i am not afraid of them see i am not afraid of them i can see the war we are not afraid on friday already the russian Prime Minister mikhail machinist and is expected to visit me is capital year of on and here on the ground a lot of people are telling me that they have a lot of hope that this visit will pull the negotiating process out of the bog. The race for the white house does continue tonight as democrats and republicans once again this time know it will be a Vice President ial scuffle with both trying to convince the public to back their bosses biden or trump is dont know quarter reports is there actually much difference between the 2 parties. Name calling personal attacks emotional accusations American Society is now so deeply polarized between these 2 figures donald trump and joe biden the 20 twentieths Election Campaign is looking more like a political circus than anything im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar dont ever use the word smart with me or ever use that word give me because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i dont excuse the one whos so your number 2 you know hes putins puppy you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever going. To get any word with this clown its as if many people see this upcoming election as a showdown between good and evil if you like biden hes the countrys only so. Of ation from his racist fascist opponent but if you like trump only he can protect americas new greatness from his senile rival its like a reality t. V. Show where actual policy is absent from the conversation the thing is though if you can get past the rhetoric and the emotion is there really any difference between them from present but all that differed from the Obama Administration in which biden was the v. P. Remember the wall trump wanted to build in 2016 as part of his popular promise for a new stance on immigration we were. In penetrable physical tall powerful beautiful southern border wall. Isnt in morality its not who we are is the nation racists and sinful democrats quickly attacked as racist and along came the sad pictures of caged immigrant kids with trying to blame for their misery except some of those pictures were from 2014 under the Obama Administration thats right trump actually continued many of the same immigration policies from before in fact ice arrests and deportations are still lower than they were under much of obamas watch lets not forget about the peace promise made on his way to the white house to have the support of the war fighting generals active duty military and top experts who know both how to win and how to avoid the endless wars and echoed obamas 2008 election promises of were going to responsibly leave iraq to its people and forge a harder in peace in afghanistan. And also like obama trump has so far failed to deliver the difference here though is that the former president got a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 even though many of americas foreign entanglements worsened under his administration in 2016 trump even campaigned against the interventionist posturing of both parties but. We will no longer use American Military might to construct democracies in faraway lands or try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over theres also obamas bloated budget deficit which continues to grow under trub the current president made tax cuts for the rich sure but the economy more or less continued business as usual until the pandemic when the debates come around again though one has to wonder if biden will be as frank about these parallels as hes been in the past the truth of the matter is you wall you all know who you all know and you all got what has to be done we can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is its all within the wheel house and nobody has to be punished no one standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change when your only 2 options in an election are so similar in terms of policy perhaps shouting racist or senile is the only way to keep things interesting. Im caught you watch naughty could have a company to save me will be back with more stories in the headlines on the topic. Is wrong with us as american citizens and aid to blast off lets try. It out for an attack file we are asked to die and i think. I would vote for a republican over trump i would vote for anyone who is not you and has half a brain defeat dont try. To feel that. My 2nd wife. She can handle. She and i divorce because our trouble is elected president and i voted for her and she cant stand for. That when the most important election. In our history is mr the months to go before the next president ial election is the atmosphere in the us now i. Want to the highest Priority Programs only vote which they do next. Just some of the questions we put to the america. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those great. Thinks. We dare to ask. Him. Hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered im Peter Lavelle it remains unclear who will be the occupant in the white house this january what can be easily predicted is the state of the economy where tens of millions of citizens it appears what is called the case shaped recovery is permanently dividing the country and the haves and the have nots and this seems to be acceptable for those who are the house. To discuss this and more im joined by my guest Michael Hudson in new york he is a professor of economics at the university of missouri kansas city and author of through give them their debts and in bangkok were joined by steve keen hes a crowdfunding professor of economics on a tree on as well as a distinguished Research Fellow of the institute for strategy resilience and security of University College london gentlemen crossed up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let me go to michael in new york you know this just term the new normal is bandied about and what really worries me is that the people that use the new normal where its a normal that is beneficial to them ok and theyre not particularly concerned about it ok because i hear more and more top read more and more about it kate recovery and that is admission of defeat in my in my opinion because it means the if you have the k. Its the the leg of the k. Youve given up on ok because the other part will pull the economy through because its that in their benefit here i really worry when people talk about new normals and when they talk about the economy youre my friend well who has become normal since 2008 has been completely different from the old normal people have the idea of normal you go back to a balance but really the economy hasnt grown at all since the 2008 crisis all of the growth in g. D. P. All of the growth in wealth has accrued to the Financial Sector to the real estate sector into the one percent for the 99 percent of all theyve gone down and down and down so the new normal is you cant get rich again by housing and join the middle class like you used to the new normal is paying all of the year increase in wages and debt service in rents and in monopoly prices so that they mark the norm
