are broadcasting live coverage from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the bell a russian capital has once again become the focus of anti-government protests fountains of people have converged on minsk laying flowers in tribute to a demonstrator killed in the unrest that followed last sunday's disputed presidential election video has now emerged reportedly showing the moment of the tragedy and a bit of a warning you might find the footage disturbing and here you can see a group of wired police who are just a few meters away from the alleged victim shortly after comes the apparent moment the protester was killed the interior ministry. had previously said the victim

had tried to throw an explosive device at officers but it went off in his hand. throughout the day people have been coming to the scene where the incident happened his family had asked those who wanted to pay respects to gather there instead of his funeral our correspondent sent this report from a sitting. room or steve goodson orderly as you can see many people have come today to push can scale metro station where a man from minsk alexander tartikoff 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 or cars or honking as you can see for yourself despite. what you're saying. crowds also gathered outside the headquarters of the state broadcaster earlier staff were invited to a meeting where within the speaker of the upper house of parliament along with the

president's press secretary amid rumors that people were about to walk out on strike some of the employees did leave the meeting to cheers from the crowds a red and white flag that has become a symbol of the protest was pinned to the entrance. in central moscow people have been making a stand in solidarity with of the protestors outside the belorussian embassy. sort of reports now from the rally. saturday saw the biggest turnout say here as peaceful rallies can see outside of the embassy of belarus say here in moscow the protesters have been gathering here for almost a week to express their solidarity with the people in bellary said it was a phone conversation between russian and belorussia presidents took place earlier on saturday and both leaders expressed confidence that the problems of the rules will be settled have very soon. that's the main goal is. so let's say external

forces at stake advantage of this a situation and of course put a wedge in the cooperation between russia and belarus the european union is now offering its own solution on the situation in the country at the european union will put forward to the better russian authorities a proposal for e.u. support and establishing in facilitating a dialogue between the political authorities opposition and broader society in view of resolving the current crisis ministers also agreed on the need to sanction those responsible for violence repression and the force of a cation of election results sanctions are the end of politics the key question now is what kind of policy the e.u. has towards bill or use for osce the european union is one of our top priorities at a strategy meeting with the defense ministry alexander lukashenko noted that. the government in this country was formed in line with the constitution and he said

that they don't need any court uncalled for and governments for it mediators for that matter and of course so washington added their own 2 cents into the conflicts in belarus and this is what they had to say about it i was glad to see the release of some protesters but that certainly is not an image activists to support the bill and regime people to achieve their sovereignty the range freedom of the peaceful radek insignias here outside of the bell russian embassy of course will be here to bring you any more developments. we ask the analysts what they think about the protests and how they will play out. there are very strong similarities to be played out front but i tell you what happened you traced we had a very similar scenario not a color so i take it to pretty successful color revolutions make yugoslavia the united states aligned in that line of many western countries with whatever happens and so it but also between it will be illegitimate we had the same rhetoric coming

out of the west as we're getting the at that the government that is totally couldn't really respond to any protests against even if they turn violent and that's what we're seeing so it's kind of really that we've seen many times before and it doesn't end well that may be that the previous thought that it did well for the people of your great there's tremendous interest here for the west. it's all about democracy or human rights it's about power it's about economics and it's about geopolitics probably the better comparison is with ukraine in 2004 as the time of the so-called orange revolution by the russian society whatever its own people should be president. is anxious to avoid not only the kind of violent people we saw in ukraine in february 2014 but all the problems that ukraine has had ever since and i think for those of us who want to see a peaceful if you like a legitimate democratic outcome voters it's very important that the losing side if you know any political process has options of coming back through the ballot once

you fall close that you would then do risk civil war civil conflict which is off to a lot as percent parts of ukraine. and so. the best thing for people but worse is that this crisis is disputed so peacefully. somehow the constitution. the german state of bavaria has been forced onto the defensive after it was revealed around 900 travelers returning to the region were not told they had tested positive for the coronavirus party's peter oliver as more. 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 relight entire state government is sorry that these

mistakes happened but the minister and also me posting lee that many people are now unsure as to what happened to their test results. the reasoning 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 areas 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. to resign twice and then asked whether she had the courage to continue to carry out these towns with if 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 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 himself 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 all over r.t. early. spikes coated infections are being seen in parts of europe france is recording around $3000.00 daily infections up to 10 fold on the last month that has

prompted the u.k. to add it to its quarantine list. the french government said that unfortunately the virus been going the wrong way there's been a 66 percent increase in the number of positive tests in the last week alone 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 france is hugely popular with british tourists and many flocked to there when the lockdown was lifted the last minute announcement saw thousands rushing back to beat the deadline anyone who missed the deadline will now have to self isolate for 2 weeks when they return the rule also now applies to those coming from the netherlands british holidaymakers were given only 24 hours notice that has angered some travellers who claim the area they had been staying

had actual lower infection rates than at home france is the 2nd most popular travel destination for brits some 160000 were there when the country was put on the corn team list not all of those who wanted to return home have been able to we caught up with some of them. chapel was out. so when we was allowed to go no one the. lights suddenly they told me so i. think i made the wrong decision in the 1st yes we wouldn't get wind of the way we pay everything. i needed both. soon as the government. there was no way we could get any money back. we had. very difficult to say anything in my street is in the stock spread so i was very general blank. i mean i see faith that says that we got a current or. i think testing is

a better option we've already been knocked out for very very long so i'm russia says it has started the mass production of its controversial new government vaccine moscow announced this week it was the 1st in the world to approve a coronavirus job but there has been much concern around the globe that corners have been cut among those worried donald trump. i know much about it. we hope it works we do we hope it works they've cut off certain trials 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 trust the vaccine was created by russia's institute it took them only around 5 months of work critics say it cannot have passed all of the necessary trials to ensure that it is safe the head of the institute alexander ginzburg told

us how they achieved such quick results. 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. 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. the

. 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 research 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. when you're both of course are 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 microbe hunters the need to catch and liquidated.

the world is driven by dream shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back this is our team international and the e.u. has written to the u.s. saying it is highly concerned about washington sanctioning companies working on the nord stream to pipeline project with russia. their opinion considers that the ex is

who eternal application of sanctions is illegal under international law at the same time european union continues to hire the valid just in time to unity the common foreign and security goals shed which increases the impact of sanctions we welcome the concern and look on these issues department of state as updating the public guidance for cats authorities to include north stream 2 and the 2nd line of turk stream to this action puts investments or other activities that are related to these russian energy export pipelines at risk of u.s. sanctions it's a clear warning to companies aiding and abetting russia's malign influence projects will not be tolerated get out now or risk the consequences nord stream to runs through the baltic sea and will deliver natural gas into germany bypassing traditional transit countries like ukraine european companies are also part of the costly project which aims to double gas imports from russia to germany the head of the bundestag energy committee klaus ernst feels washington's behavior is

unacceptable. it is unacceptable that any country like the united states tells another sovereign nation like germany or an independent european union how to deal with the question of its own energy supply it's out of sync with normal relations in the era of globalization things cannot be achieved by blackmail the americans say if you don't do as we want we want to protect you and if we protect you then you have to pay for that and we should pay with the import of liquefied guess and if you don't do that we will get rid of everyone here this is the current american policy with this is unacceptable and we should fight it there are 2 aspects the stakes one is a professional one and the 2nd one is more important independence of germany. washington has repeatedly claimed nord stream 2 is a threat to european energy security the u.s.

plans to sanction companies that don't pull out of the project again believes germany should retaliate if that happens. we should let the americans understand that if they continue this kind of behavior it will cause economic damage that is why 'd i advise imposing punitive tariffs on american liquefied guess and under certain conditions even an embargo on american guess they hit the americans the same way they want to hit us 'd if they then notice that we are not the ones to concede easily that we are an opponent who can react to that we should negotiate how the 2 countries can lift the sanctions as soon as possible because this is the real game we don't want to impose more sanctions we want 'd to prevent american sanctions by means of our own sanctions and i think we need to show the americans a particular economic response from our side. the creator of the popular online game fortnight is suing apple and google after the game was scrapped from

their app stores epic accuses the tech giants of seeking to control markets and of anti-competitive practices to make its point it released this orwellian video. apple has blocked fortnight from the app store removing everyone's ability to install and update the game on devices keeping prices high so they can collect 30 percent of your payments and this blocking fortnights in order to prevent epic from passing on the savings apple has become what it once railed against a behemoth seeking to control markets block competition and stifle innovation in the latest update fortnight developers allowed in game purchases to be made directly from epic games at a lower cost this violated the terms of service of both apple and google who were

receiving 30 percent from each transaction you update led both tech giants to ban the game from their platforms. the fact that their business interests now lead them to push for a special arrangement does not change the fact that these guidelines create a level playing field for all developers and make the store safe for all users for game developers who choose to use the play store we have consistent policies that affair to developers and keep the store safe for users or for not remains available on android we can no longer waits available on play because it violates our policies. political analyst lily says the case highlights the monopoly enjoyed by tech giants. because apple and google to a lesser extent have such a pervasive and monopolistic hold on the market even something as huge as foreign aid is having to wage this battle one can only imagine how hard it is for smaller developers to innovate and to then get

a hold in this market the chairman of the united states congress says antitrust committee david cillian has actually called the 30 percent highway robbery and saying that apple is using this in order to bully smaller developers into falling in line but they say that they try to keep a level level playing field for small developers and large helpers alike but apple given preferential treatment to certain companies such as amazon one of the most well he has companies in the entire world which is now expected they have to pay to have about $30.00 they only paid 15 percent and this also isn't the 1st time that people have tried to call attention to apple share of the market but this is the 1st time it's been publicized since the 1st time that it's really being. shown as a genuine threat to the way that things have been carried out. donald trump's former lawyer has released of the forward from
