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

to gas pipeline project with russia in response to the reported nerve agent poisoning of alec's in avani berlin says it has evidence they promised kremlin critic was targeted with never choke moscow rejects all claims of involvement and says it can't investigate without being given access to berlin's test results meanwhile the heads of key german regions have come to the defense of the major energy project the bad one is economically necessary force but it's also necessary that we stay together with the russian it's a project that plays a decisive role in the framework of altered energy and climate policy and therefore we've come to the conclusion that we want to carry on with it 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. now it's time to will pump russian gas to germany and then on to other european countries via the baltic sea when completed it will stretch 1200 kilometers 90 percent has already been built it finish it will double the amount of gas falling from russia to germany constr

reminder of our top story the german government says it has solid proof that kremlin critical insane avani was poisoned with a nerve agent uncle are now called the incident attempted murder germany is now pushing allies for joint response to moscow. coming up next in a news asia prisoner releases in afghanistan appear to renew peace talks after that spot where the truce between the government and the taliban leads to a lasting peace in the country. and a german conductor refuses to pause for a pandemic that celebrates big holdings birthday in south korea. all that much more with the purest vanity coming right that's it from me in the news stream and now thanks for watching. the be. beethoven and the justice to do did he do. it is about a 60 blank sheet. rock the mob. many rubber bands of stolen beethoven. and it was course the subconscious always one thing is clear the beethoven is the wildly popular. i see a short playing the unsound the biggest composer of all time i can't even begin to imagine a world class one player similarly on a musical journey of discovery. without a. star septembe

analysis shows that a military grade nerve agent was used to poison the leading critic of the kremlin avani remains in a coma and the berlin hospital also coming off of a verdict of not guilty in slovakia in a much watched case that toppled the gulf millionaire business tycoon marion caution it was alleged to have ordered the killing of a reporter looking into his dealings with the government. and memories of a turkish woman who became a statistic she is one of a growing number of women killed each year in turkey by someone close to the box more and more turkish women are refusing to stay silent. until passover of profitable lands in brazil landless farmers are fighting security forces and both landowners to stay on probably 2 beds cultivated and lived for decades. welcome to the program leaders from around the world back the german chancellor's call for answers from moscow after government confronted russia's leading opposition figure cena vonnie was indeed poisoned the laboratory off the german military found that he was attacked. with a deadly nerve agent. was developed by the soviets 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

shed new light on the fact that it was actually the novacek know the agent that was used to poison avani there were already tensions that between moscow and live in this prison but it just adds to this how damaging is it. it certainly is damaging and it will be interesting going forward to see how germany responds now especially with its partners of course they are indeed limited as to what they can do in response to russia or and they have said that they will be joint talks to decide on a joint and approved response to russia once moscow responds of course germany like its e.u. partners and nato partners are waiting on the kremmling to issue what's what the foreign minister. demanded from them which was urgent clarification on the background of this poison of alexina virally but this of course does nothing for diplomatic relations between russia and germany right now and what reaction has there been from the kremlin. well the kremlin so far as we as we talk now has said that they haven't yet had an official notification of this new diagnosis of a poisoning by novacek over the next a day

bridge in moscow back in february 25th teen we asked her if she thinks that this apparent attack and avani which once again reveals how dangerous it can be to speak out in russia is going to discourage the opposition movement they are not all witness in are those massive progress in the mail or rules and i think it was one of the reasons why not wisely might be poisoned because after the presidential elections was so massive for the us and this part states poor 3rd very cruel drool repression and now we've been on sunday a big march against. whom i personally regard as former president because he lost the elections so and i think that those people in the kremlin included like him or putin they're all frightened by these days from belo rules and they might think that the same can happen in russia in the aftermath of any elections and you know within that have an upcoming elections on their 13th of september and alex in a highly is very active and he introduced his role in tactic of smart loot it's called in russia and it's proved to be very effective last year and i don't think that russian
