10:05 pm
and governments or at mediators for that matter and of course so washington added their own $0.02 into the conflict and 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 in the community activists to support the bill and rescind 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 to analysts how they think of the bellerose protests will play out. there are very strong similarities will be played out but i tell you what happened phrase we had a very similar scenario not a color so i take the pretty successful color revolution making the slavia the united states line and the line of many western countries with whatever happens so it but also between it would be illegitimate we had the same rhetoric coming out of
10:06 pm
the west as we're getting here that the government that was told it couldn't really respond to any protests against even if they turn violent that's what we're seeing so it's kind of really that we see many times before and it doesn't end well that being 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 at the time of the so-called orange revolution the russian society whatever its own people should be president. is anxious to avoid not only the kind of violence of people that you 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 and if you like a legitimate democratic outcome for both of us it's very important that the losing side in any political crisis has options of coming back through the ballot box once
10:07 pm
you fall clothes that you then do risk civil war civil conflict which is all to what has percent parts of ukraine. and so. the best thing for people but worse is that this crisis is disputed so peacefully by some kind of constitution and. 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 that they had tested positive for the coronavirus artie's peter oliver has 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 relighting times state government is sorry that these
10:08 pm
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 there yet 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
10:09 pm
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 test done as germany and the rest of europe brace for a 2nd wave of covert 19 peter all of the early. spikes of covert infections are being seen in parts of europe france is recording around $3000.00 to daily infections that is up 10 fold on last month that has prompted the u.k.

10:11 pm
destination for brits some 160008 with their when the country was put on that the quarantine list not all of those who wanted to return home have been able to we caught up with some of them. that will allow. so when where was allowed to go now when the. lights so maybe they told me so i i think i made the wrong decision in the 1st yes we wouldn't get wind of the way we pay everything all the facilities needed both and post a soon as the government and the gate way there was no way we could get any money back. very difficult so they put anything in place really that's going to stop the spread so i would very general blanket ban on i mean thanks says that we've got a quarantine or. i think testing is

a better option we've already been locked down for very very long so i'm russia says it has start of the mass production of its controversial new covert vaccine moscow announced to this week it was the 1st in the world to approve a chronic virus job but there has been much concern around the globe that corners have been caught among those words donald trump. you 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 russians again only instituted 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.
10:13 pm
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. floors 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
10:14 pm
our. 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 via 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 appropriate advice someone that's worked in the field for many many years. absolutely you know both of course 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 the need to catch and liquidate it. africa's biggest hydroelectric dam could spell disaster for sudan that is the warning from

experts who say large parts of the country could be swallowed by sat. ballots the size of the most important factors leading to dessert if occasion the incident cultural and development policy has been in the 19 fifties and 50 s. this agricultural policy sought to expand agricultural areas for a cure screws so she's cool and says to me that the expensive natural forests consequently large areas of natural forest were removed for this purpose and were not recovered again s.s.e. says one of the main reasons leading up to it is it says it is at the cost.

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 which increases the impact of sanctions we welcome the concern and look on this issues department of state is updating the public guidance for katz 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 to germany bypassing traditional countries like ukraine european companies that are also part of the
10:18 pm
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 but 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.
10:19 pm
washington has repeatedly claimed nordstrom to is a threat to european energy security the u.s. plans to sanction companies that don't pull out of the project ernst 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 looking for i guess under certain conditions even an embargo on american. the americans the same way they want to hit us if they then notice that we are not the ones to concede easily if 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 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. that. the creator of the popular

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 the updated 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 policy is political analyst dakota lilly says in the case highlights of 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
10:22 pm
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 legit level playing field for small developers and large helpers alike but apple given preferential treatment just certain companies such as amazon one of the most well 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 that'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.
