positive the man in charge of germany's largest state says he's sorry for the delay is due to example dot security like the entire state government is sorry that these mistakes happened both the minister and also me personally that many people are now unsure as to what happened to their test results. the reason given is the sheer number of people coming into germany from holidays elsewhere and taking covert tests by the roadside and train stations in both the area this move was brought in very quickly by the state and the information had not been recorded digitally mistakes happen in such extraordinary times the officials say the bavarian health minister though had offered her resignation over the blunder. offered to resign twice and then asked whether she had the courage to continue to carry out these tasks with a she wanted to and could both cases she said yes markets has made a bit of

a reputation for himself during the corona pandemic as a mr fix-it that internecine his name touted as a potential successor to chancellor merkel when she steps down ahead of next year's election opposition leaders have been quick to use the testing delays to twist the knife on claims he's all talk and no final product even state premier is always presenting himself as a crisis manager and constantly patting himself on the back he also has to take responsibility of point suring that things were when announcing new coronavirus measures he doesn't miss a press conference but when something goes wrong he sends out the health minister i would have expected him to have the backbone to step up and self the advice for. anyone who's still waiting for test results is pretty simple just get another test done as germany and the rest of europe brace for a 2nd wave of covert 90 peter offer r.t.

early. could be humbling countries across europe are now suffering from coronavirus spikes in france for example the daily tally you can see it there the infection rate shot up from fewer than $300.00 in mid july to almost 3000 now that's prompted the u.k. to include france than among its latest urgent additions to its quarantine list. but the french government said that unfortunately the virus been going the wrong way there has been a 66 percent increase in the number of test positive tests in the last week alone and so unfortunately francis happened to be added to the quarantine list london gave people until 4 am on saturday to return to the u.k. if they wanted to avoid quarantine from his hugely popular with british tourists and many flock there after the long term the last one announcement than saw thousands rushing back to try to beat the deadline creating queues and tell back to french transport hubs so anyone who missed the deadlines know enough to solve
5:05 am
isolate for 2 weeks on return the rule also no applies to anyone coming from the netherlands as well british holidaymakers say they're only given 24 hours notice about the changes and it's enraged many travelers who know too fact some of them the french regions they returning from have got fewer cases than the part of the u.k. though going back to either which way france is the 2nd most popular travel destination for brits some 160000 were there when the country got put into quarantine not all of them who wanted to return have been able to get home we caught up with british travelers who are unhappy with how the u.k. has been handling things. travel was out. so when where was allowed before it was safe to go where no one or late certainly gave way. so i think i made the wrong decision in the 1st oh yes we wouldn't get wind of the way we pay everything all the facilities needed both. as soon as the government. way
5:06 am
there was no way we could get any money back but we were well. very difficult. for anything in base really that's going to stop the spread so i would very general blanket ban on i mean base aid that says that we've got a quarantine or. i think testing is a better option we've already been knocked out for very very long so i'm. but the spike in corona virus cases across the world russia's health ministry says it started mass producing its recently approved vaccine the takeover drug was the 1st to be registered in the world other countries are also working hard to develop their own of course to have a concern that rusher is rushing its vaccine to the market among the us president donald trump don't know much about it. we hope it works we do we hope it works they cut off certain. and we just feel it's important to go through the
5:07 am
process we have numerous different vaccines that we think are going to work but we want to go through a system of. that vaccine was created by rushes instituted only took them about 5 months of work critics say it can't have passed all the necessary trials to ensure it's safe we talked to the head of the institute alexander ginsburg to explain just how they managed to get a vaccine so quickly. and proper but this vaccine was created strictly in accordance with russian law this allows a vaccine to be developed more rapidly during an emergency and the coronavirus pandemic is definitely an emergency we haven't reduced the number of tests required to prove that the vaccine is safe rather we are running tests in parallel but when the pandemic started we were working on a vaccine against mers which is also
5:08 am
a type of corona virus and is more lethal than covert 19 this research had almost completed the 2nd phase of tests so we had all the methodology in place. over 3500 people have tried this vaccine without suffering any serious side effects just some minor ones that one gets with any type of vaccine for example a slight temperature which can be relieved with a dose of paracetamol and this will be made clear in the instructions for use. vaccine research is conducted in many countries across the world but the russian and soviet school of vaccine creation is a very serious one and our institute for example we have 4 generations of scientists working together so the knowledge we transmit is not just by a papers and electronic devices but directly from one person to another when the young researcher comes to me i always know which of our scientists can give them
5:09 am
appropriate advice someone that's worked in the field for many many years. absolutely not the only feeling was to defend myself my relatives and our population and just to complete the task we had been given namely to find a vaccine and it was also this feeling that many in our profession have many micro punters they need to catch and liquidate it. protests in bellerose service and those disputed election results show no sign of dying so far we've seen violence strikes and lines of solidarity but the latest scenes from the capital's independence square indicate the direction the protests may well go next here's what's happening when troops protecting the house of government as it's called lowered their shields in an apparent silence solidarity with the demonstrators. i. am. i am.
5:10 am
i. am. glad i have. a point that look i think that. i. i think i think i. have pushed is a source of pain a square in minsk something absolutely unique and interesting for better or worse is happening here you can see the special police force nobody in town and forces standing behind me with the courage and that's the house of the government on the
5:11 am
other side is where protesters have gathered everything is peaceful no provocations and says we can see offices cut down the shelling is that yes that's what the kurds that's the situation are those minsk attractive factory workers arrived here with their banners read and well nothing else is going on. people are chanting slogans let them guide. go through all of this is going on frankly without provocation is for now they thought law enforcement officers are just openly standing that look at this it's a unique picture i haven't seen anything like this before it was demonstrations big held all across the country the scene just saying here from the city of grodd no where protesters unfold a huge flag the red and white patmos saying there used to represent belarus and has now been adopted by the opposition as a response to what's happening the country meantime president exam location has
5:12 am
expressed support for his police and troops although with one qualification. i cannot accuse or criticize anyone because i see what's happening in the country but i will insist on this we are slants and if a person is lying on the ground you don't beat them there are limits. of the belarusian president appears to be trying to rein in his riot police a little nonetheless the e.u. has been left dismayed by what it's been seeing of late its proposed establishing a dialogue between the 2 sides now and is slapping sanctions on but the russian officials it says are implicated in the recent violence we asked our guests whether that would be a big enough stick them to get better or us to change its ways. there are discussion with the european union because they are in a difficult situation because on one sacked. they would like of course from the need to get china to changes in their lives but in the same time they don't want binaries to. serve their interests most and western countries and especially i
5:13 am
think germany wants to have them niggas here she was told a moment the sanctions they are talking your vote are mostly symbolic and not really profound we will see how the situation will change but it was before the law in the president with the european commission says. criminal behavior should be more careful in the way the chicks evolves and i get work and spoke to her concerned about the election results she says of what's happening is unacceptable from the european union point of view get very very very delicate situation they don't want it to go to ruth who feels they don't want to call for the eliminate the removal or pretty much. go instead of saying who would take his place. in the world news this weekend the building of africa's biggest hydroelectric dam could worsen the situation with water supply in sudan and it
5:14 am
could aggravate another problem facing the country to ever greater swathes of land turning into desert. the side that most important for it is leading to does it have occasion the incidence of cultural and development policy has been from a 940 s. and fifty's agricultural policy sought to expand agricultural areas for the fish crews such as cool and sesame at the expense of natural forests consequently large areas of natural forest were removed for this purpose and would not bring comfort again s.s.e. says one of the main reasons leading up to this is it says that it was at the cost .
5:15 am
of better too many years have passed since they got married and started living in this house my difficulties in life come from the approach with the sand our lines heard. the walls of our houses have fallen every year i use up all the money casey i need to move sand or build walls everything learned we used to do that we make the last of the buildings higher but the sand continues on eating towards us.
5:16 am
roughly with a lot of problems they says and since there are still happy weekends going good i'm kevin allen coming up donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen promises things the president. doesn't want you to read in his new book branded found fiction oh by the white house we're across it after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the jerry thinks. we fear to ask.
5:17 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again the u.n. security council has rejected a u.s. sponsored resolution to extend the arms trade embargo on iraq washington only drew support from the dominican republic in the end while russia and china voted against
5:18 am
the draft and other members abstained a 10 year in pago and expires in october under the joint comprehensive plan of action the tool for controlling iran's nuclear program caleb maupin reports. well the resolution put forward by the united states would have extended the arms embargo against iran now france germany and other countries have been very vocal about the fact that they oppose the united states' decision to unilaterally withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement and furthermore they oppose putting new sanctions on iran now in the lead up to the vote at the u.n. security council u.s. diplomats were very adamant that they felt this arms embargo must be extended here's some of what we heard i call upon all security council members to wake up to the real world implications of allowing this arms embargo to lapse family or to extend the arms embargo would make a mockery of that sacred responsibility and which the united nations with crédit
5:19 am
now prior to the vote in which this resolution failed mike taylor said the united states feels that if this arms embargo is not extended as it was not that the united states will impose these snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear deal and snap back the sanctions on iran this is mike papantonio the u.s. secretary of state i don't want to pay as i said i want to be to kids who are deeply aware that snap back is an option that's available to them that it sticks and we're going to do everything within america's power to ensure that that arms embargo is extended and i'm confident that we will be successful now the snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear agreement was essentially put in place so that if iran were to violate the j c p o n a they would then face the penalty of an immediate snap back of the sanctions of this woman so what the next confrontation which is about the united states seeking to impose so-called snapback inspections that are you know part of the joint
5:20 am
comprehensive program of action which are to be implemented if iran is found to be in noncompliance iran of course is not in noncompliance and the united states is no longer a party to this agreement. but the united states is going to seek to take advantage of bad writing of the agreement to impose its will which will soon be a crisis in the security council this vote is a meaningless vote it's really so you know the larger confrontation now currently mike pompei o. is in vienna stocking with officials from the international atomic energy agency they say that iran has fully complied with the nuclear deal i'm not violating my fiance oh says however it doesn't really seem to be a doubt the nuclear deal anymore this isn't about the j c p a way this is about whether the world is going to permit iran to buy and sell weapons systems again it's that clear it's that simple so it seems that the trumpet ministrations policy of imposing maximum pressure on iran and quote ripping up the
5:21 am
iran nuclear deal was essentially put to him folks at that body that meets the united nations and it seems that this policy of the trump white house seeking to escalate tension with iran was overwhelmingly rejected the united states as you know has a maximum pressure campaign on iran they want the iranian government at least the way they put it to change its behavior radically in the region this is part of a much larger u.s. policy to help its friends saudi arabia israel and to her next enemies and to keep america paramount in the persian gulf the source of so much of the world's oil 50 percent of the world's oil supplies is about control of the international energy supply. the u.s. has conducted the largest have a seizure of rain in fuel meantime the news was confirmed in washington by the department of justice about 1100000 barrels was seized from 4 vessels bound for
5:22 am
venezuela. the government announced today that it has successfully executed the seizure order and confiscated the cargo from all 4 vessels totaling approximately 1116000 barrels of petroleum the news comes just a day after the u.s. central command released video you're seeing in the screens here purportedly showing the iranian navy board briefly seize an oil tanker off the coast of iran the d.o.j. claimed it was a counter effort by around to recover some of that lost fuel the confiscation of the iranian gas lead heading to venezuela follows a u.s. district court order it stated the cargo was shipped by the islamic revolutionary guard which washington we classified as a terrorist group last year as part of its maximum pressure policy on iran but professor mohammad marandi from to run university says in his view may be the seizure of radium fuel is more closely related to the us presidential elections coming up. i think it has more to do with the election in the united states the
5:23 am
presidential election and the elections in general in the united states and that trump wants to show himself strong but again i think what it really does it is that it shows the lawlessness of the regime in washington and how petty they've become in their behavior they just simply behave like pirates a team from 17th century on the high seas they declare wherever they want to be terrorists or outlaws and they steal just like. you know the gold used to be stolen from ships in previous centuries and and this sort of behavior is going to have consequences because ultimately while the iranian government does not own the oil but iran will have to punish the united states in order to protect its people who purchase iranian oil. donald

your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallows. as the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is
5:28 am
the land of opportunity and the reality of those who were not for. angelica won a t. and unlike a floatable housing living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city and always turn their backs on an older stay away almost. if that's what it is if there is no way it's because yes the reports of these. were abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cliques. 1 september 9977 q now a subsidiary of the like a corporation announced that it was closing down most of its camel 5000 deal work many of them feel better and 20 to 30 years. afterward and you for many years who are to believe they were put out on a very don't know what we're going to do it really started in the late seventies
5:29 am
when these companies were able to move their production offshore so you saw the ending of a number of steel companies the shifting of manufacturing to the global south where the wages were lower where the environmental rules were not either exist in or enforced and that's the beginning of this concept of these transnationals they have the technology to do it they had the transportation systems to do it and frankly governments weren't stopping them. and i just remember one day i was i was working on the boss come up to me and says that's where we're going home. i thought we're going home early why because we're closed and you get very close doors on us or. i don't know what to say. it's a crying shame really is. i
