having that here it got from the moscow times this headline russia expelled european diplomats even avani protests from the foreign ministry so there was a meeting there were conversations it did not go well he's angela merkel from frankly the fish. but it didn't his us dollars are cheering our meeting we were and swarmed over the expulsion of german swedish and polish diplomats from moscow in connection with demonstrations on the volley we considered this expulsion to be unjustified and we believe this is a very very step away from the rule of law noticeable in russia right now think here that's a hood on. brewing as the situation around it only has it escalate he said now it's international crisis what does it feel like some insight russia. but it's very important that was the community is now. stand against this a sin is sin or imprisonment. i think for that it wouldn't it is much more important what's. had the thinking satirists how many people will join this board to see how many celebrity has an opinion leaders will support no one and this is the most important because i don't think

you but we don't he going to push on just a little bit because short c 100 he's a new jeep is isn't avani even popular enough to challenge president putin let me share with you shortly a great question thank you let me share with you this on my laptop what do russians think about the valley this is a recent poll and the blue people who are proven avani the orange the disapprove look how big this is in russia right 56 percent and then a good 25 percent don't care but no and then looking at people thinking in russia you think that nobody should have come back to russia because of course he when he came back he was arrested 22 percent as a tiny percentage think that that was a good idea 51 percent a neutral let's just make that a shrug and 25 percent disapprove this is a very different annex in the valley pool inside russia than they appear to be outside of russia go it. yeah tired he's not a particular tickly popular person and that's true even among liberal oppositionists a number of whom i think regarding river a certain amount of suspicion. for a number of reasons the 1st 2 were of his.

of a franco german council about security in europe where they touch upon more issues than just than avani case but also about the strategic relationship between the e.u. and russia and indeed one particularly contentious scheme that's under way which is the north stream to gas pipeline from russia through to the european union through germany we know the french president has called for this to be shelved something that angela merkel does not agree with clearly because she wants north stream to to carry on to germany because of the benefit that she says this will bring to the economy here one area of disagreement there but generally speaking very hard to separate the 2 of them in so far as the nirvana case is concerned donna thank you very much donna cane reporting live there from berlin. indonesia is rolling out a new breath test for covert 19 passengers at train stations and bus terminals are being screened with results issued within minutes but some health experts doubt it's accuracy jessica washington reports now from jakarta. this is the early morning rush hour 71 of dakota's busiest

in berlin then at western relations with russia are very strained after the conviction of election avani what options are there for addressing these tensions diplomatically. that's a very good question and that's the idea of the book to the well of the who are presented if that we've just heard about to attempt to use a diplomatic path instead of the sanctions the u.s. ambassador have already announced that they will because you like distillation after the conviction of alexei navalny the e.u. has so said we will wait when the money was arrested and i think the visit of the well might also be one of the test cases to see what kind of with dollars will he be able to bring home will it be in the end of the good of bad timing and bad blokes and might that be for the youth an occasion to think about sanctions when diplomatic means especially when it comes to washington method policy usually that those successful. europe and germany in particular walk a fine line trying to maintain business relations with russia while addressing numerous disputes not least over ukraine these interests are cla

so a bit of background avani fell ill in all growth started to meth, addicts, right in russia, and was taken to berlin for treatment. germany claims that found traces of an overtopping of agent in his body and allegation later repeated by w. . however, must go says its own tests found no such substance and that bullet has repeatedly rejected requests for lafferty. we spoke with alexander sold his russia's permanent representative to hear it up. you know, he thinks the claims against russia have a very clear political motive partners in the p. c. w, against further politicize new organization, which would create deeper divisions and interrupt a normal work in the search for compromises. different countries interpret provisions of the chemical weapons convention in their own way. we should prevent any attempts to spread one's own rules in place of the established conventions of international law. our western partners and the technical secretary, when it's convenient for them refer to confidentiality clause. under this pretext, russia was refused access to key aspects of the technical sec

they're disappointed or 1st thing is are i strongly opposed to the combined and avani question with economic sanctions and especially with the gas pipeline laws for him to why we do that. there is no reason to combine it. we should, we should look at a separately imagine when mystica shockey was murdered in the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul, where the evidence is clear, different in the money case, new one ever tried to connect it with all oil business, that saudi arabia sophists and why we do that with russia. the 2nd is that we see a clear illegal 3rd party sanction by the us again, small stream to which connects russia and germany directly from natural gas. and now obviously to the money is used to justified is illegal sanctions. and to make pressure on the pipeline project. and that is not russian policy. that is anti-rational sentiment from the us and from parts of western europe. and suv of my position is let's separate it. and then if we go to this is as an isolated case, then of course we should also all the question that or that or a and in the room. we should share the inform

most recently, the opposition leader alex in avani. it has its cyber chaos and disharmony in the west to tarnish its democratic systems while promoting its phone version of democracy. it is deployed private military contractors around the globe to secretly spread its influence at home, its hospitals are filling up fast with coated patients as its president hides out in his villa. i mean, add some dramatic music. do a cool video, add it pepper the whole thing with a few explosions here and there, and you've cooked up a trailer for the next hit limited series on netflix. but no, it's not that not by a long shot. it's actually the opening of a job advert for a russian reporter with the new york times. page searches for unbiased to impartial or balance. come a blank, no results found in the text. not that it's much of a secret though, that the new york times isn't that interested in covering a happy russia. but some readers weren't that impressed with the sudden spasm of honesty from the paper did the see any right. new york times new russ

russia slams the report of the global chemical weapons watchdog the russian opposition figure election avani was poisoned with a nerve agent. bringing in a new round of sanctions and. 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. new in the chief of the o.p.c. . he's been barred from speaking at the u.n. security council about a controversial probe into alleged 2018 chemical attack in syria it's letter from the russian side. with pride like the olympics that's how the u.k. government is saying it will look back on its coronavirus response despite britain having the highest death toll across europe and seeing a new surge in hospital admissions. bus to the u.s. 2020 vice presidential candidates mike pence will go head to head in the debates on wednesday the race for presidents been characterized by name calling and a blame game so far at least a little to educate voters about the policy. good day for russia the 7th of october just to midday. and here it artie's w
