in response to the unrest after the country's disputed presidential election protests there have entered a new face with demonstrators seen giving hugs and kisses to troops there she says . by their welcome you watch not international this saturday afternoon. in moscow now a scandal over 19 testing has rocked the german state at the very some 900 travelers returning to the region tested positive but they were left to bolivia's to that fact because the government failed to deliver the results our europe correspondent peter all of our picks up the story. there's been a huge blunder in the german states if the varia with 844000 corona test a backlog $900.00 of those still waiting for their results and known to have tested

positive the man in charge of germany's largest state says he's sorry for the delay is due to example dot secure relighting times 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 it 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 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 official say the bavarian health minister though had offered her resignation over the blunder bilinear. offered to resign twice i then asked her whether she had the courage to continue to carry out these tasks with as she wanted to and could in 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 if a 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 him self the advice for anyone who 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 all over r.t.

berlin. well countries across europe are now actually suffering from coronavirus spikes in france for example the daily infection rate there has shot up from fewer than 300 in mid july to almost 3000 now and that has prompted the u.k. to include france among its latest urgent additions to its quarantine list with the french government said that unfortunately the virus been going the wrong way there's been a 66 percent increase in the number of tests positive tests in the last week alone so unfortunately francis happened to be added to the quarantine list while under gay people until 4 am on saturday to return to the u.k. if they wanted to avoid quarantine france is hugely popular with british tourists to many had flock there after the last month announcements will thousands rushing back to beat the deadline creating queues and also tailbacks french transport hubs

well anybody who missed that deadline will now have to self isolate for 2 weeks when they return the rule so now applies to to anybody coming from the netherlands british holidaymakers were given only 24 hours notice about these changes that has angered some travelers who know that the french regions they were coming from actually have fewer cases than the regions they were returning to in the u.k. france is the 2nd most popular travel destination for brits some 160000 were there when the country got put on the quarantine list lord we wanted to return home have been able to though we caught up with british travelers who are unhappy with how the u.k. has handled things. chapel was allowed busy. so when where was allowed before it was safe to go where no one or late suddenly gave way it's always thought so i think i made the wrong decision in the 1st oh yes we would look again at the way we

pay everything all the facilities completely in a boat opals as soon as the government opened up the gate way there was no way we could get any money back but we were where. very difficult. for anything in base really that's going to stop the spread so i would very general blanket travel i mean base 8 it says that we've got a quarantine or. i think testing is a better option we've already been knocked out for a very very long time but with a spike in crime of arson cases across the world russia's health ministry does say it has started mass producing its recently approved vaccine the anti cave a drug was the 1st to be registered in the world other countries are also working hard to develop their own today some are concerned though that russia is rushing its vaccine to the market among them u.s. president donald trump i know much about it. we hope it works we do

we hope it works they've cut off certain. things and we just feel it's important to go through the process we have numerous different vaccines that we think are going to work but we want to go through a system of. the back same was created by russia's camel a institute and it took the money around 5 months of work critics to say it can't have passed all ringback of the necessary trials to ensure it's safe we talked to the head of the chemical a institute alexander ginsburg explains how they managed to get a vaccine said quickly. 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 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. for 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. of a. vaccine research is conducted in many countries across the world but the russian and soviet school of vaccine creation is a very serious one institute for example we have 4 generations of scientists working together so the knowledge we transmit is not just via papers and electronic devices but directly from one person to another when young researcher comes to me i

always know which of our scientists can give them appropriate advice someone that's worked in the field for many many years. absolutely in your book. 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 there was also this feeling that many in our profession have many micro punches the meat to catch and liquidate it. in other news thousands of people have again gathered in the center of minsk the capital of bellerive they are laying flowers there for a protest he was killed in the unrest that followed last sunday's disputed presidential election you can see the place where he died early this week his family have asked people who want so you commemorate him to gather here instead of coming to his funeral our correspondent said in this report from the city.

i was to go to as you can see many people have come today to pushkin square metro station where a man from minsk alexander terry cough ski was killed in the unrest it's difficult to count how many people are here they stand on both sides here they've completely filled the space near the entrance to the metro they're queuing to lay flowers cars are honking as you can see for yourself. i. was meanwhile opposition protests have been taking place all across the country this was the city of god on friday protesters unfurled a huge flag there the red and white pattern used to represent belarus and has been adopted by the opposition. as so far we've seen violence strikes and also lines of solidarity but the latest scenes from the capital's independence square to indicate the direction the protests may go next

because here's what happened when troops protecting the house of government lowered their shields in an apparent sign of solidarity with the demonstrators. out. out out oh ah. out out out out. out out. out out up was. and out.

of i. well as response what's happening in the country president alexander lukashenko has expressed support for his place and troops although with one qualification. i cannot accuse criticize anyone because i see what's happening in the countries but i will insist on this we are slavs and if a person is lying on the ground you don't beat them there are limits. to how the better russian president that does appear to be trying to rein in his riot police a little the e.u. has been left dismayed by what it's saying has proposed establishing a dialogue between the 2 sides and the slapping sanctions to all belorussian officials it says are implicated in the recent violence we asked our guests whether that's a big enough stick to get bellary steve 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 some

political turn to changes in their lives but in the same time they don't want to. serve their interests most western countries and especially i think germany wants to have that negotiation with me told a moment the sanctions they are talking about are mostly symbolic and not really we will see how the situation will change but i would love to live in the present with the european commission said. critical to show who should be more careful in the way he checks the votes and i give merkel a spokesman said she was very concerned about the election results she says of what's happening is unacceptable from the european union point of view give it a very very very delicate situation they don't want to. do. they don't want to call for the elimination the removal. go instead of

saying who would take his place. with news today the building of africa's biggest hydroelectric dam could worsen the situation with water supply in sudan and this could activate to another problem facing the country ever greater swathes of land turning into desert. the side of the most important factors leading to desert if occasion incidents are cultural and development policy has been from a 940 s. and fifty's agricultural policy sought to expand agricultural areas for kish groups such as cool and sesame at the expense of natural forests consequently launch areas over natural forest were removed for this purpose and were not recovered again

s.s.p. says one of the main reasons leading to does it say that it was at the cost. of . a bid that in 20 years have passed since they got married and started living in this house my difficulties in life come from the encroachments of sand our lands heard. the walls of our houses have fallen and every year i use all the money that i see i had to move sand or build walls everything the earth we used to do that we make the walls of the buildings higher but the sand continues creeping towards us.

the story still to come here to sow donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen promises things the president doesn't want you to reign in his new book branded fan fiction by the white house will take a look just. after the break. seemed wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just being. engaged equals betrayal. once on find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person if there is. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. without international now the u.n. security council has rejected a u.s. sponsored resolution to extend the arms trade embargo on iran washington i need to

support from the dominican republic while russia and china voted against the draft and other members abstained what a 10 year embargo does expire in october under the joint a comprehensive plan of action the 2 for controlling iran's nuclear program and a small. 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 have it pose 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 in which the united nations with crédit 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 the snapback mechanism in the iran nuclear deal and snap back the sanctions on iran this is mike papantonio the us secretary of state i don't want to as i said i want to be 2 kids who are deeply aware that snapback is an option that's available to them that it takes 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 a they would then face the penalty of an immediate snapback of the sanctions of

this will in some of the next confrontation which is about the united states seeking to impose so-called snapback inspections that are you know part of the joint 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 talking 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.b. away 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 iran nuclear deal was essentially put 2 of folks at the 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 this is about control of the international energy supply now the u.s. is conducting the notches to have

a say as you have the right need fuel was confirmed in washington by the palm to justice and about 1100000 barrels was seized from 4 vessels back and 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 does come just a day after the u.s. central command released a video purportedly showing the iranian navy boredom briefly seize an oil tanker off the coast of iran d.o.j. claimed it was a counter effort by iran to recover some of its fuel the confiscation of the iranian gasoline heading to venezuela does follow a u.s. district court order it stated the cargo was shipped by the revolutionary guard which washington reclassified as a terrorist group last year as part of its maximum pressure policy on iran however professor said mohammad marandi from tehran university to say the seizure of the

fuel is closely related in his opinion to the us presidential elections. i think it has more to do with the election in the united states the 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 sure 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 they teamed them 17th century on the high seas they declare whoever 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 the people who purchase iranian oil.

doldrums former attorney has released the forward of the new book a back boss a year ago michael cohen was found guilty of fraud in perjury and was sentenced to 3 years in jail he was released early though and is now under house arrest and also promises to dish the dirt on trump's own wrongdoings in his a his new book which the white house has already dismissed as fan fiction.
