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

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

organization or that diplomatic spot between perlin and moscow is heating up over what happened to alexei and avani the german ambassador to russia was summoned to the foreign ministry in moscow and what cheese heard how russia is far from happy and what it sees as accusations coming towards it about the alleged poisoning of alexei navalny a strong protest was made to the ambassador over the unfounded accusations presented by the government of the federal republic of germany against russia in the context of the illness and hospitalisation of russian citizen alexina of only and the obvious use of his situation by berlin as an excuse to discredit our country on the international arena the g 7 leaders have also issued a joint statement in which they talk about the confident poisoning of alexina folly the statement also calls up for action from moscow the russian foreign ministry not particularly happy with that they say that the main obstacle towards action being taken by moscow remains germany not sharing the information it says shows the next election in a valley was poisoned with a nerve agent with

same chemical weapon against novotny and they would have failed and at the end they would have given avani to german doctors this makes no sense i mean you know that they won't be using chemical weapon invented in the seventy's and eighty's for for something that are today said this is not just the way russia russia works and it doesn't make any sense why would russia do this right at a time where it's winning and of course is a very popular blogger figure in russian politics but he's not threat to put an end to the to the russian politics he's a he's a western ass so the west is using this again to standard maybe want to show something bad on russia because the can't stand russia any course will be providing updates and analysis on that of all the case and another drug claims throughout the coming hours right here on r.t. international. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. place elation and community. are you going the right way or are you being led. to. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in

chemical weapon against development and they would have failed and at the end they would have given avani to germany doctors this makes no sense i mean you know they won't be using chemical weapons invented in the seventy's at least for for something so they said this is not just the way russia russian works or. doesn't make any sense why would russia do this right at the time where it's winning it doesn't have to do this it doesn't do this and if ali is not such a big star in russia anyways and of course he's a very popular blogger figure in russian politics but he's no threat to put an end to to the russian politics he's a he's a lost an assett so the west is using this again maybe want to show him something bad on russia because the can't stand russia that's the bottom line it's a very valid point is that what you bring up about who who profits or does the russian government profit from from carrying out such a thing we look at it in a nuanced leveled way which i really haven't seen in the west and i'm waiting to read it by line or an editorial or something saying why would they carry

that hopes its approach to migrants will be taken up by the country as a whole we are incest a savage avani on the outskirts of milan in the north of italy once an industrial town used to have overwhelmingly communist views dubbed the stalingrad of the country today those views have all but vanished with elections in italy just around the corner this place hopes to lead by example in tackling immigration and taller and seems to be the last of concerns and what it could do here. whatever will help the situation must be done it's very important in other countries they are already doing these kinds of things and no one gets offended because it is a warranty for us and them. we need to find the best solution possible first we need to find out how many migrants we can identify through digital fingerprints and any other systems then we need to see if this works. they are human beings too but if there are hundreds of thousands coming into italy every year we really have a problem we can't accommodate which are. common enough of that it would be very difficult for the system to work we're not alone
