nationwide protests sweeping the roof for a 12th day in the wake of the country's election in response to a larger. place including in the eastern city of. new warnings against meddling in european leaders agreed to impose sanctions themselves on the prompting accusations of hypocrisy. the u.s. secretary of state formally requests a resumption of u.n. sanctions against iran accusing the country of violating the 2050 nuclear deal even though washington put the agreement 2 years ago. but opposition figurehead. is in intensive care after falling sick during

a flight from moscow prompting western media speculation of kremlin foul play even as moscow offers to send them abroad for treatment. of broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us now it is day 12 of nationwide on rest in bellerose in the wake of the disputed election earlier this month large crowds on both sides of the divide are making their voices heard those who support president alexander lukashenko and those who want to see him gone . oh. poor. people here chanting for the president to resign in the city of gomel but in contrast you've got a convoy of the president's supporters driving past them with the official red and green flag and high government demonstrators also gathered in the capital minsk

where activists lined up along a central avenue meanwhile in eastern. and ampitheater. packed earlier in the day with thousands of people chanting their support for president lukashenko pro-government marchers were seen throughout the day there as well as it was done off reports now from the city. it's the closest large city to the russian border and that's that's where we are and 1000 people gathered supporting the government saying that they. do think that the country needs changes but they don't like the current that the that the protesters have taken to some of them and they have been essentially saying that they indeed they do want changes but they want to make them peacefully they want

a peaceful transition to something else not a transition old power but in the old policy if i may say so and they have been citing such examples as for instance syria or libya or ukraine and saying that well those countries they have seen some changes and while they don't like what they're seeing there they're sort of looking over the border across the border and they don't like it they don't want to. watch the news and can see events unfold in as they did in syria libya iraq and ukraine i've seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing and both to europe and even in migrant camps i believe who must not choose this path this is really a color revolution. our president has created conditions which allow us to think about our families about the future they can make plans i don't want anything to change we must we have peace everything is clean and great puppet is just want to destroy us do we need. the support fool the incumbent president lukashenko has been

growing here still i have to say not as large as at least it looks not as large as the opposition protests but this could be a case of the silent majority because again who has won the election a highly controversial case but still. this civil action has taken place in other cities like in capital minsk and all across the country again people in the thousands there have been cases one anti government people sort of tried to crash their rallies it she crashed the program rallies and tackled the pro-government protest as. has but again i have been already consecutive days of protests. and they're not it doesn't look like they are going to anytime soon and another issue that we are following surrounding the situation in belarus

prosecutors have opened a criminal case against the opposition's coordination council accusing them of plotting an illegal seizure of power. so the need for the book of the creation of such organizations is illegal and their activity violates the constitution having realized then lawfulness of their actions the number of council members quit the body and reject its goals these include the illegal seizure of power words the council poses a danger to national security. or the chief prosecutor's words echoing what president lukashenko said on wednesday at a security council meeting he so named coordination council for the transfer of power was established by the opposition leaders had wanted to come she is currently in self exile in lithuania the group denies any wrongdoing. political analyst andre the czech believes the anti-government movement in belarus is losing momentum due to the lack of a clear agenda below to show you standing going to speed in the store is fired.

some people obviously had little bitty an awful lot of discomfort. by this opposition this uprising as it is being called the are are aiming at something else which they really don't know what it is they are just being told and told by the opposition by the european union that they. have to demand change they have to change the system but it can see no of the support for this. kind of disappearing because people are thinking ok now for the 1st time a what is going to happen if we really. have this change or are we going to end the play cue credo are we going to. the former soviet republics which were pushed through this independence or. 'd are we going

to end up basically or not in the. the e.u. meanwhile has confirmed it is drawing up sanctions against bell russian officials who are suspected of election fraud and violence against protesters block hasn't disclosed as yet whether alexander lukashenko is on that list in fact brussels lifted penalties on him 4 years ago with the way in which shares a border with belarus has banned go and 31 other beller russian officials from entering the country and the e.u. has stressed that there should be no foreign meddling in the belorussian crisis moscow claims that though that lithuania is doing precisely that with its sanctions on the country's leader. russia's foreign minister has contacted the e.u. foreign policy chief to urge brussels against stirring up a confrontation between the government and opposition in belarus that is after the e.u. unanimously rejected the results of the election and declared president lukashenko persona non-grata and he's done corner comments now on the signals coming from the european union. for the west bank it was always europe's last dictator the european

union never liked the guy but they did try to play nice not anymore we stand by the people of belarus their european union stint in chile didn't reach it was a piece of better research by skills than most benefits should on its own choose brain dependent cost of the country will follow there should be no outside interference in the situation there just off things could no longer continue as they are in belarus now it's when a dictator has come to the end of the road it's best to find a way forward for the violence to suspicious in the western powers throw around words like dictator and regime usually it doesn't and well no wonder it sounds pretty alarming to moscow but it's good you should be able to so you can just as we are deeply concerned about what's going on right now in better roofs we are concerned by the attempt to exploit to the internal challenges facing bella ruse to interfere in them from

a brutal it goes without saying ballarat president alexander lukashenko is also concerned that when the. western countries are openly without hiding it raising funds and sending them to beller we cannot track all of the funds as much of it is in cash but we see that we know what's going on and we will focus on this issue. the european union isn't just paying lip service to the ballarat opposition either the millions of euros in aid it promised to the belorussian government are now being redirected to so-called civil society an independent media and the european commission will mobilize now an additional $53000000.00 euros to support the belorussian people in these challenging times we can't forget the e.u. states neighboring valorous which seem to have their own agendas for one the polish prime minister seems to think belarus has close ties with russia make it incapable of democracy and there is

a plan to check. change that such of an economic plan should be prepared for the ruse because now it is highly dependent economically on russia poland is already presented to plan for intensive course. in the areas of independent media the economy investment and thence national trends of the commission of poland's plan involves spending a leaven 1000000 euros on scholarships for media and academics that it deems to be independent warsaw is also generously offering to open its doors to ballarat and workers just think what the loss of balance the skilled workers would do to help democracy. actions were not since a few without name isn't on the fed's we can and should extend a helping hand to the russians it's a similar story in lithuania where the opposition leader spent long that's a kind of sky isn't self-imposed exile and other belorussian anti-government n.g.o.s are operating from it's also where a fund raising initiative called freedom 1st to go bella reuss is being organized

intended to encourage the creation of a democratic state aside from the fact that its director provided direct support to the ukrainian uprising in 2014 little is known about who is involved or where the money is coming from combined questions surrounding the opposition's shady sources of funding with the e.u. is cold shoulder to lucas sankoh and you have to ask yourself who is going to really come out on top from the on rest and valorous it's important russia everything that we hear in the western media coming out of this it was because it is egypt. that of mere speech of both or of. east. so. really what do you think is one of those that we should be they've made 1st of. all we get here in sort of illusion what are the russians and so far. they've been very patient in the. those

who are in charge do you. believe that we all. have one why one train that is one direction so what is it you that's been a lot worse thinking ever since. basically almost wrote his book of the end of history. by conventional due to. the us has formally requested a so-called snapback of united nations sanctions against iran secretary of state my pompei all met with the un security council president within the last couple of hours to deliver that request artie's came up and comments. so at this point we've got the united states essentially demanding that the united nations reimpose its crippling sanctions economic warfare against the islamic republic of iran this is mike pompei o laying out the demand just a few minutes ago i delivered letters to both the un secretary general to terrorism

to the president of the security council notified them that the united states is initiating the restoration of virtually all u.n. sanctions on iran lifted under u.n. security council resolution 2231 united states will never allow the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons now essentially the united states is hoping to invoke the snapback mechanism that was part of the j c p o a conclusion of the iran nuclear negotiations the iran nuclear deal now the snapback mechanism was put into the nuclear deal so that if iran did not fulfill the agreement and did not fulfill its obligations broke the agreement that there would be an immediate snap back and all the un sanctions would immediately be reimposed on iran so now the united states is trying to invoke the snapback mechanism however it has virtually no support in the international community when it comes to this demand that we've got all the other cosigners of the deal the

united kingdom germany france china russia all staying that basically the united states doesn't have the right to invoke the snapback mechanism because the united states pulled out of the deal not iran this has been the international reaction to the united states call this was west to you and i was aware different concerns that reckless acts by the united states could trigger a serious crisis in the security council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this with carnal countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. plans are and loehle that they will use in the united states has withdrawn. in the comprehensive agreement on the iranian nuclear issue and he's not qualified to call for a rapid resumption of sanctions by the security council we firmly believe that any unilateral attempt to trigger un sanctions snapback would have serious adverse consequences in the un security council we would not support such a decision which should be incompatible with our current efforts to preserve the j.

c.p.o. a now the united states hold out of the iran nuclear deal in may of 28 scene and at this point we've got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to renegotiating a new deal that would restrict iran's activities more harshly now at this point people are reacting to the recent effort by the united states to extend the arms embargo against the islamic republic of iran which was roundly defeated by the international community the u.n. security council the 15 member body that leads the u.n. the only other country to support the u.s. move was the dominican republic and it seems with the world basically opposing washington's moves against iran that iran actually has the upper hand this is what we've heard from some iranian officials in was called and on which i think today it's clear that the united states is size elated and american unilateralist is not supported by other countries with

a reason reason lucian that was put before the security council the united states was defeated and the slum a group public of iran has the upper hand about it in the international community it seems like almost a consensus that the iran nuclear deal should remain intact however washington has pulled out of the deal and they seem to be almost standing alone at this point in their call to reimpose sanctions and to essentially escalate tensions with the islamic republic. earlier we spoke to journalist and author of the iran agenda today reese erlich he thinks the us and push for renewed sanctions are a sign of weakness rather than strength the us has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this very quite explicit in the terms of the j c p l a that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back and we've seen all kinds of the seizure of iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way

to venezuela are all perfectly legal but the u.s. claims the unilateral right to pose its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. but frankly rather than a sign of straightening this is a sign of weakness because the u.s. is unable to get support any other country in the world for these. actions including britain france germany and staunch u.s. allies completely reject the above the trungpa news on this issue and it's a sign of desperation frankly that they're hoping something will happen between now and november and turn things around and trump hopes to use these an effort to gain reelection i think frankly it's quite the opposite. one is after a short break this is r.t. international.

thanks guys are. close to these if this is a central plank supported by the film is the problem right. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic probably the only move. i will see you. will be very critical. to sit down and talk.

about this is our 2 international and the russian opposition leader alexina hasn't been left fighting for his life after falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday the plane made an emergency landing in the siberian city of square involving is now in intensive care he is currently in a coma his allies say that they believe he was poisoned while still on the plane was heard howling in pain as paramedics came to his aid.

after news of his illness broke supporters gathered in several cities across russia this was the scene in central st petersburg people there holding placards with the message live and a rally was also held in moscow where several activists were reportedly detained. has more on the situation and the international reaction. i think seeing the violet felt ill when he was on route to the russian capital from siberia the aircraft counts and decided to make an unscheduled landing and once on the ground level he was promptly taken to the hospital where he remains in a coal mine now the. latest report suggests that their preliminary diagnosis is poison by neuroleptic which is more commonly known as anti-psychotic drugs how ever at this moment medics can see testing they continue symptomatic treatments of they see in the modern day but they have already ruled out several things that

meanwhile one of the they say the law in these personal medics is already there in almost school where she received some information from the doctors i don't know if he has regained consciousness the doctors gave me general medical information that he is in a serious condition let's have it here against consciousness to morrow and all the as a high profile personality what's been the international reaction so far the western media they were very quick with their headlines and they labeled what happened as the poisoning of a kremlin critic now someone as far as speculating that a russian leadership is somehow responsible and gave their viewers a timeline all for a supposed poisonings of kremlin critics let's just take a look at some of what the western media had to say the most outspoken critic of russian president vladimir putin has been rushed to a siberian hospital doesn't seem to really decide asking is the kremlin involved

it's all too early so i ask him not in there is you know the russians are going to as many towers fall you see is clearly putting. the governments to all they're saying this would not have been possible without hussein's approval. is a very great silencing critics like. and it's always. being humorous examples. ironically of all that the kremlin has been doing nothing but call parading with that nonviolent stuff in this case and helping them as much as they can just recently in a violent these other personal medic while he told the western media that he wants his patients to be evacuated to the european union he added that he was even in talks with clinics in france and in germany as well while the kremlin said they're ready to give any kind of green light necessary in order for them wanted to be

transported were wherever he needs to be despite the fact that the borders in russia close now jesus called it 900 situation they wish to nevada to get well very soon of course and the request to visit a foreign clinic would be approved as soon as possible if there is such a request for the for russian citizens to visit other countries for medical treatment despite of the cross border well nevada staff had already welcomed this offer from peskov and will now put in a request to the kremlin to help with the evacuation if it is necessary meanwhile elsewhere in the western media it looks like the cause and the blame all of this and already been attributed and that's despite the fact that everything is being done in russia for nevada need to get better soon as possible devoutness quote here in the west and he seemed a very powerful opponent well good so from the western border of your many western

countries in eastern europe you never anything it. would be seen as criminal and it always recounts in the kremlin. nothing else would happen to him unless he could become an did you know acted and did something that's the way in the media or in the west where do you think. immediately going to be made because they want sensationalism you want headline news. but it goes like the totally false news news . we have to wait for the medical and the medics and find out exactly why. it's a little cobra why he was hospitalized and why he was in such paid him so long but it makes a great story for millions from the west and what have you because most of the western press is only russian. and leaving u.k. medical school says that the training for doctors in britain is inherently racist you know university of bristol medical school says urgent action needs to be taken

to examine why teaching mainly focuses on how illnesses affect white people historically medical education was designed and written by white middle class men and so there is an inherent racism in medicine that means it exists to serve white patients above all others we're teaching students how to recognise a life or death clinical sign largely in white people and not acknowledging these differences may be dangerous bristol medical school notes that doctors are currently trained to be on the lookout for patients turning blue but that criterion fails for nonwhite patients the issue has been raised after students complained they were left ill prepared to treat patients from ethnic minority backgrounds now the u.k. medical school council says it's putting plans in place to improve the situation it's working with universities to diversify curricula and improve support for people dealing with racism not everyone is persuaded though that medical treatment can suffer from bias i've never read more nonsense in my life

i can understand the statement the doctors need to have the skills needed to treat ethnic minority patients better but i'm not sure this is the same thing as decolonized in the medical curriculum i also thought the biggest effect on health was poverty. no good scientist would hold racism as a viable theory medical education may require improvements in terms of approach to racial characteristics but i remain unpersuaded that a culture of racism is present we heard contrasting views on the issue from former senior nurse rebecca butler and bristol university medical student or. the issue at hand is the fact that whilst we do have a considerable number of the population turning blue if they are sino we have a very significant portion of the population which will be increasing as we continue with time that will manifest in that same way and can afford to make

mistakes and if it can be rectified in medical education when we're given the theory that is the political to everyone as well as white people black people and people of darker skin colors that's great and that's something we should be working towards so that our medical education system is adequately preparing all doctors across the country for the diverse population of women to start over that's just ridiculous i mean cya gnosis and actually one of the signs of hypoxia is either the patient appears quite read it or they do go a gray color around the mouth and on their fingertips and in africa caribbean person i was always taught to look at the underside of their palms not at their fingertips because with the dark skin color ration you can't see the blue so recently but they would also be breathless they would also be perspiring they would also have a raised holes rate it's not the only sign and it is just ridiculous jumping on

a racism bandwagon or abyss where it's a problem that doesn't exist at all the data that patients of different colors and skin types and different races raised in the patient picture of health in traditional medical education and one could argue yes that is underpinning racism because it raises the fact that there are people in this population who want white who will not manifest with illness in the same way and if that theory is consistently left out from the medical school curriculums it will do a disservice to not only doctors in training but to the patients that they will eventually go into so we're wordy raises is what you need to look at here nobody is a racing anybody in the british health service if you. to india or nigeria hosts of sub-saharan africa all the medical schools that will teach sino says i was educated in india my friends don't have a tweeted about the tsunami of them about me so over the course of the day of course they learn about new skin color ration everybody i know talks about it

nobody is raised in the british base. or that is for me i will be back in about 31 minutes with another look at you stay with us this is a transaction. elderly forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obesity is too great a trance ever. looked like a very sharp pain with artificial intelligence real summoning the demon. the robot must protect its own existence its existence.
