yes. exiled by the russian opposition leader urges her fellow citizens to keep up the pressure on president looking shanker with more strikes and protests. the news russian opposition figurehead alexina vanny is in intensive care after falling sick during a flight to moscow as doctors say it's conditions to front to allow him to be moved abroad for treatment. also the u.s. secretary of state for me requests a resumption of u.n. sanctions against iran accusing the country of violating the 2050 nuclear deal even though washington put that agreement 2 years ago.

good morning thanks for joining us this is r.t. . who start this morning with his exiled opposition leader. who's addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on president with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election threw the country into political turmoil. the bus thought get up so you strikes are entirely legal and powerful weapon against the regime and they know it that's why they intimidate you leave the fear mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone i'm asking you to keep on striking you will make the coward hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us it's not just in belarus that people are taking to the streets to voice their feelings about the country's future on thursday a major polish city near the border with by the roofs hosted a rally in support of the by the russian opposition hundreds of people both of the

russian and polish origin took part in the demonstration in the city's main square in march with a gigantic version of the red and white form of the russian flag this is been adopted by the opposition as its symbol and another neighboring country lithuania also saw protesters gathering outside the embassy of belarus in the capital vilnius they voiced support for so long that it cannot scar the main challenger to president lukashenko she fled to the un you're following his reelection. is it once or not our president is spared lynott economic scale we voted for her in the fact that the rig did result is their problem it's. lost these elections and he knows it he could just leave but he doesn't whatever europe america other countries do is pointless the most important thing is what people are doing and people are doing the right thing but they are still scared. the e.u. also recently expressed support for the by the russian opposition voicing concerns

over meddling in domestic affairs moscow has reminded european colleagues of just what kind of impact their support had last time they decided to intervene in a political crisis on russia's doorstep donna as the story. how long has it been since you played spot the difference well you won't have many difficulties matching footage from the 2014 uprising in ukraine to what's happening now in another post soviet republic right next to it better us. military.

at face value the pitches are identical but beneath the record discrepancies because ukraine didn't exactly set an example of how to in the short term yes be good all it wanted in president electoral growth taishan a visa waiver for the e.u. but that was where the buck stopped because the newly elected president quickly lost all support the economy collapsed key industries sloped national debt hiked and so called western partners until this day still aren't rushing to accept cave as one of their role so is it really a surprise that here in belarus people don't want a repetition of that thanks to us and stay if i and to knock on to the house are there and you can walk down the street in the evening and not be afraid for safety and the safety of your loved ones things as i'm using we stand for an independent billers only beef and tranquility will be able to survive this there is

no need to describe the country may seem small and watch the news and can see that sun food in as they didn't see a. iraq and ukraine i've seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing on boats to europe and living in migrant camps i believe who must not choose this path this is really a color revolution even antigovernment protesters weren't happy to see e.u. flags among their ranks would be easy because they see if there was. anybody who was factory workers across the country briefly boycotted production but that impulse quickly faded out labor has realized they have no friends in the evening only competitors eager to fill market gaps left by belarus factories yes if that gives it some credence about not having friends. get them out it's us you know i view it negatively

a couple of people from my team went to the strike stayed there for 10 minutes and came back. they were not interested in what was happening that they didn't like it scheduling you but i will listen and you've got to go but deal with those who support lucas sankoh should have shown that they are the majority by taking to the streets it would have been a different picture now if only they had shown up at the anti-government protests we should have started rolling earlier in support of the current president more was homosexual sure and you don't see my basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a key enterprise and the well being of the entire city depends on its stable operation therefore such actions of the plan itself are next up to another coup difference with ukraine the people of better seem more against losing russia as their ally and geopolitical friend even discuss just opposition aren't rushing headlong into a breakup with moscow. the last politician in belarus would be the one he seeks to

build a wall or rescind russia it is in our interest to have good relations with both russia and the e.u. and russia and the european union both want by the russians to be their allies see each of them needs to meet the expectations of our people pretty much as everyone almost everyone who i've spoken to here and elsewhere in belarus they've said that they were appalled that they were disgusted and that they stood with those tortured by the police but then things changed and protests started to lose momentum and that's one politics kicked in and that was when all these thousands of people took to the streets with a different message with a message of unity down of reporting from belarus. or both the you and russia being looked to as mediators in the crisis we asked people in minsk they'd like to say play that role. as for me i prefer russia because i'm a bit skeptical about the e.u. i would rather stay with russia but at the same time i want bell russians to be

valid russians again of course despite having russian belorussian roots i feel closer to the e.u. here be a lot of belarus to remain as bellerose and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors bring up our senior political analyst sundry wilczek believes that the anti-government movement in belarus is this momentum due to the lack of a clear agenda. bill i'll show you standing going to speed in the store is fired. some people obviously had little bitty an awful floor of this gum for. 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 european union that they. have to demand change they have to change the system but it can see now the support for this

attitude this. kind of disappearing because people are thinking ok now for the 1st time or what is going to happen if we really. have this change or are we going to end up like ukraine are we going to. the former soviet republics which were pushed through this independence or. are we going to basically on our of the. russian opposition figurehead and acts in a van the remains in intensive care in a hospital in the siberian city of homs where he's in a coma a valley was taken earlier on thursday during a flight to moscow with suspected poisoning doctors have said his condition is not yet stable enough to allow him to be airlifted abroad for medical care as requested by his family and supporters. allied to r.t. correspondent don quarter what's the latest that's coming out of the hospital about nirvana's condition and the possibility of him being taken abroad. well neal at

a recent press conference that just took place moments ago doctors said they're still exploring 5 diet possible diagnoses as to what caused the sudden illness they said they'll need probably another 2 days to determine which one is most accurate and to give our viewers a little bit of background like you said neal in the fall he was on a plane traveling to moscow from siberia when he suddenly fell ill he was there that the pilot had to make an emergency landing in the sea in the siberian city of after paramedics had rushed to his aid and he certainly seems to be in serious pain . now the volley was quickly brought to an emergency care unit near the airport where he's since remained in a coma and on a ventilator we heard from his press secretary who was accompanying him on the

plane who said that this was that he's he's saying that this is a definitely a poisoning but it's thought that his morning tea may have been tampered with but the doctors at the hospital like i said before still aren't sure about this diagnosis and they're still doing a lot of tests to determine the you know what exactly happened so the city but still the situation has gained a lot of international attention as a result. in the new if you demo bones mist in the valley of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina valmy we heard this morning what happened to him and i want to say here that we give him all our support his family his loved ones for a prompt recovery and we send by their side hopeful intervention or through it does i hope and wish of course that he will recover as quickly as possible we will of course offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals . were lucky that advice got to be reporting to me. now

many supporters are calling for as you heard in that previous video for of all need to be transported to germany for medical treatment and we did hear from kremlin spokes person dmitri peskov who said that they would allow despite the border closures from the corona virus pandemic foreign of all need to be transported broad for treatment still the western media is already jumping to conclusions about the situation let's hear what they are they've been saying about it. the most outspoken critic of russian president vladimir putin has been rushed to a siberian hospital doesn't seem too early to set asking is the kremlin involved it's all true and if so asking that there is no criminality towers following the steam is clearly put saying. the government's there saying this would not have been possible without hussein's approval. 30.

66 like. we believe. you are 6. now as of now the hospital staff has been saying that condition has definitely improved since yesterday but he's still too unstable to be transported anywhere abroad for treatment so this is definitely a developing story and we'll bring our viewers the latest details as they become available you know because right into the culture that thank you. and i say says foley requested a so-called snapback of united nations sanctions against iran 60 state my pump am i with the u.n. security council president of the state to make that request get more print has more 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 un security council resolution 2231 did i say it 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 snap back 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 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 snap back 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 difficult reckless acts by the united states could trigger a serious crisis in the security council our american colleagues do not seem to care about the carnal countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. prices are low for that. the united states has withdrawn from 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 as i have repeatedly recalled the u.s. unilaterally ceased participation in the j.c.b.

away by presidential memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and has subsequently not participated in any j c p away related activities he cannot therefore be considered to be a j c p a a participant state. for the purposes of possible sanctions not by foreseen by the resolution 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 calm and on which i think today it's clear that the united states is size a limited and american unilateral ism is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the security council the united states was defeated in the slum a group 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. or says deputy envoy to the u.n. said on thursday the u.s. had declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran so in the 3 said alec says america's actions are more for a home odin's. the u.s. has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this it's very quite explicit in the

terms of the j c p a way 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 perfectly legal but the u.s. claims the unilateral right to oppose 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 about the company's duration 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 efforts to gain reelection i think frankly it's quite the opposite. ok we'll tell you about food

shortages in lebanon and more news after spying. i know to no crow. no shots. actually. no. points your thirst for action. this is just not. one thing it was.

like sure since all the years. before she. was back you guys reported summer solution siri was daisy harbor and today we're going to be talking about the banning cell of money stop being self costly and stop her lying joining us very quickly will be change of key stop cost of. welcome back lebanon faces a threat to found in the deadly blast earlier this month destroyed the grain silos store in most of the country's supplies bubbly dummy's the beirut port that receives 85 percent of the country's food imports the locals are doing the best to help those in need.

basically civic society still is to this initiative one day after the bust we decided to that we have to do something since and loving on the government doesn't care and doesn't do the government job but. we're packaging food boxes for us to use plenty of donation and found people within the country and also from people abroad and everything that this consulate. and the family you know i. have never seen most times and let me just say the least in

a war but we've never been one currency even during the war of the shelter there was food everywhere we had need an edge of the boats but now god save us it's a living hell. it really is a genuine place do you feel you were because they want to it's not because they have a political agenda or someone is paying us to do this work we just do it because we have this little humanity and knows that. hong kong is joined by using in denouncing washington's decision to suspend a series of bad luck treaties seeing what is the latest spot between the 2 countries comes just weeks after the u.s. also began targeting high ranking hong kong officials with sanctions including the city's chief executive. the united states' unilateral decision reflects its disrespect for bilateralism and multilateralism under the current administration

and should be condemned by the international community the hun can government strongly object to and deplore is the united states action which is widely seen as a move to create troubles in training u.s. relationship using hong kong as a pawn. on wednesday the u.s. announced it would be suspending 3 treaties with hong kong they cover the surrender of fugitives as well as extradition paid by litle agreement on tax exemptions on income from shipping operations has also been scrapped on kong has suspended its side of the agreement in response the top administration has cited china's new national security law which it claims is eroding the city's autonomy but china expert professor benjamin child says that the u.s. doesn't have the moral high ground on this issue. the u.s. says is trying to protect its freedom and human rights of the ongoing people but the us itself is a rowing it's much a lot worse then hong kong in many related measures and dearest no police kneeling on the neck of people choking people to death feel is that many hong kong very

brink angry with washington all its a plank that was then did come simply ignoring the fact that many people do not want themselves to be represented by a foreign entity we have dealt proper off station remember 3 mm median home the rest of the half of the population signed a petition to support the new measures of the law that has been set to spark a new round of action from the us. tech giant ample this week became the 1st ever u.s. company to be worth 2 trillion dollars apple's value puts it on a par with major economies it has now surpassed the g.d.p. of brazil canada russia and south korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years and most of that growth has happened since the start of the pandemic experts now estimate if apple were an economy it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world. collagen in an

elastic on the mists edward hall and jeffrey talk of for their thoughts on apple's 2 trillion dollar valuation does it seem as if some things are quite right when millions are losing their jobs or close to it i'll a tiny number getting insanely rich. that is exactly right and i have to correct language you say because of the pandemic it's because of the lockdowns and all across the world and especially the us governments have it been bankrupt in small and be medium size businesses and forced closures and stay home orders and closing schools closing borders stopping travel it's been an outrage and of course who benefits it's the big companies especially the tech giants and the rich meanwhile in this country the the poor and the middle class are suffering and medium small businesses are going under because of the lockdowns not because of the pandemic obviously there's an end plenty of encouragement for companies like apple which

have received public funding. from their very get go and we really need to see far more diversity at the grassroots of the economy to to channel that kind of innovation and it seems it. large companies like apple once they reach a threshold like this they need a lot of public scrutiny to keep up with that kind of responsibility of being so large company a leg that needs to be under public scrutiny and to perform at a higher level and providing innovation rather than at the monopolistic in their aims last month aapl along with google facebook amazon were questioned in the u.s. congress and were told they have quote too much power under a danger to the american economy have they become too powerful i don't want to blame apple and google and amazon so much as i i just think the rules should be applied fairly and evenly to everyone so everyone has a chance to get to get big and wealthy and serve the community consumer to

excellence but i think that's the most important thing and that's that's the essence of what we mean by free enterprise it's supposed to be equal rules for everyone and that is not the situation today people making the point that facebook for instance have more influence than than most governments but is there anything wrong with that why should governments have a monopoly on power. that's such a fascinating question as governments become centralized in any fashion there is opportunities for collusion with with businesses that are succeeding at a certain level that's when we start having this stratified rule set the rule of law starts to break down in any country once a company can overtake and work with the politician is supposed to be protecting the public then you can get some you know problematic behavior that's unaccountable and then the rule of law breaks now. appreciate you joining us here this is also
