the exiled belorussian opposition leader urges her fellow citizens to keep up the pressure on president lukashenko with more strikes and protests as for their large rallies both for and against him are held across the country. also this hour russian opposition figure had an exit not only has tested negative for the presence of toxic substances as doctors roll up poisoning for now. and a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions against iran is rejected by the remaining members of the iranian nuclear deal.

you're watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turn for welcome to the program. says the exiled opposition leader has given her 1st media conference sense fleeing to lithuania so on the use the opportunity to tell foreign countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus earlier she addressed her fellow citizens and a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election threw the country into political turmoil. as of us thought get up so you can join 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 who will make the code hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us. the e.u. recently expressed its full support for the belorussian opposition or as it concerns over meddling in domestic affairs moscow has reminded european colleagues

of just what happened when they tried for their sport support. behind somebody and a political crisis on russia's doorstep last time are reports on both russian attitudes towards the e.u. from april looks like a rally. 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 a better us. i . believe.

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 but all it wanted 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 now and stay if i shouldn't tell autonomic ontario hello how are there and you can hold down the street in the evening and not be afraid for safety and the safety of. the things in

a servicing we still have for an independent bill are only wouldn't be felt and tranquility will be able to survive this there is no need to disrupt to come by may see a small one and watch the news and can see that some 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 even in migrant canisters i believe who must not choose this path this is really a color revolution and even anti-government protesters weren't happy to see e.u. flags among their ranks would be easy but i suppose if they see if it was we wouldn't shoot anybody who was factory workers across the country briefly boycotts of production but that impose quickly faded out labor has realized they have no friends and even only competitors eager to fill market gaps left by benefits factory yes that gives it some credence about not having friends more yet that

should get them or did such 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 your schedule on you but i have a list and you post the government's top idealogies 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 most homosexual sure you don't see my basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a key enterprise in 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 destroy interest opposition are rushing headlong into a breakup of moscow politics the last politician in bellary so will be the one who

seeks to build the wall presumably rescind russia it is in our interests have good relations with both russia and the e.u. and russia and the european union both want by the russians to be the allies each of the means to meet the expectations of our peoples not you pretty much as everyone most 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 when 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 on sea. with the e.u. and russia being looked to as mediators in the crisis we asked people in minsk how they like to 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 belorussians to be valid russian again of course that despite having russian belorussian roots i feel closer to the e.u. . belarus to remain as balor and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors when they are saying you know perhaps yeah look i should go claims that the unrest in his country was planted by outsiders pointing the finger at the us journalist and former diplomat alexander brown of says dialogue between the opposition and the incumbent government will succeed only if both europe and russia act as mediators. there are revolutions that a machain ging the geo political course and others but a machain domestic affairs it's obvious that what's happening in belarus is of the 2nd time the foreign countries and media have less interest in toppling a tyrant if that doesn't also somehow chip away at russia this is a very longstanding tradition not all revolutions are blitzkrieg they can last

months sometimes even years sometimes mass turnout in the streets doesn't necessarily mean that the end is nigh but of course it's clear that look at shank his legitimacy has been severely undermined the key question is how will the coordinating council acts next if it acts as a governmental body that carves out its own political course on behalf of the better russian people with its own ideology that's one scenario all it may turn into a buffer organization that engages in negotiations with the authorities while russia and europe act as mediators and i want to stress this both russia and europe are necessary if only one side mediates it is likely to fail. if the process is backed by europe alone it will turn into a typical geopolitical tug of war and freedom of choice for the better russian people will be replaced by a change in foreign policy which isn't the same thing. russian

doctors treating arctic say not only are rolling out poisoning for now after the opposition figure had tested negative for the presence of toxic substances of all that remains in intensive care and a hospital in the siberian city of homs where he is in a coma after falling ill during a flight to moscow doctors say they will carry out more tests. and she would you be so far no traces of toxins have been found in tamil temples we've taken to do not suspect he was poisoned head of the hospital he said that in of all nice condition has improved since yesterday but he's still not entirely stable of all the supporters and his family have been calling for the opposition leader to be moved to a facility abroad but the staff at the hospital are saying he's way too fragile to be airlifted anywhere near what his condition improved overnight but it is not completely stable it is too early to talk about and lifting him

a brute 1st we have to make sure his condition is completely stable we cannot transfer him in this state even if his family have consented to it now the doctors are still considering a number of possibilities but they say that they've come to a near certain diagnosis connected to some sort of metabolic old dysfunction but within the next 2 days the public will be informed of the final test results what they what they end up showing so it was on thursday to give our viewers a little bit of background that nirvana was heading towards moscow from siberia on a plane when he fell suddenly very very ill the pilot had to make an emergency landing in the siberian city of almost after the paramedics had rushed to his aid and he was definitely in serious pain.

and vali was quickly rushed to an emergency care unit near the near the airport in he's since been in a coma and on a ventilator we also heard from his press secretary who has been traveling with no volunteer who suggested that he was likely poisoned in his morning tea that day but thanks to this new information from the press conference that seems highly unlikely still it did gain a lot of international attention and of an even some if you demo bones missed in the valley of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina malony this morning what happened to him and i want to see here that we give him all our support his family his loved ones for a problem for calgary and we send by their side hopeful intervention or through to us 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 looking to and invite you to be reporting to mission now the kremlin spokes

person dmitri peskov already commented on the situation he said the government would be willing to allow him of all need to go and seek treatment abroad despite the fact that the borders are still closed because of the coronavirus pandemic but he also noted that the final decision would come down to the doctors who are currently treating him should the decision is entirely medically it's likely that there are some bureaucratic formalities that i'm not aware of but there are no obstacles in principle it depends on the heads up to who is responsible for the patient's health let's not forget that just last year another so-called suspected poisoning took place in a volley was hospitalized with a swollen face he said he had never had an allergic reaction before he said that perhaps he was poisoned even his personal doctor said he may have come in contact with some sort of toxic substance but what was it at the end just an allergic reaction so this could indeed also be a similar story to that one german doctors have arrived and and are heading to the

hospital to examine not only a local medics are still running tests to determine the cause of his illness but some in the western media have already come to their own conclusions. 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 asking that in there is no. one as many towers falling is clearly putting. the government there saying this would not have been possible without hussein's approval. which is a very. silent seems to like to see. we've always. been you are 6 years of. course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. i am at all was a cool could be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty it's

a it's a cliché for their western media the western news agency is to blame rashi mediately after something happens basically there are many questions unanswered and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia putin personally or to speculate if it could be done by russian government agents without which inseparable with fortunes approval is just safe to make it has a chance against russia because it's much more dangerous to really investigate and to see probably there always are the exodus borth in the story or. in the story or. germany or france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories are to scale up and

picks up the story. 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 u.n. 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 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 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 in 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 and this was my studio and i was aware different concerns at 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 cornel countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. plans are on loehle that they will use in the united states has withdrawn. 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 seized participation in the j.c.b. away by presidential memorandum on the 8th of may 28th and has subsequently not participated in any j c p o a related activities you can know therefore be considered to be 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 seen and at this point we've got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to read negotiating 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 un 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 the reason reason lucian there was put before the security council the united states was defeated the slummy group public of iran has the upper hand about 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. russia's deputy envoy to the u.n. said on thursday that the u.s.

had declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran journalists reseller says america's actions are more for a home audience. 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 all perfectly legal 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 from any other country in the world for these. actions including britain france germany and staunch u.s.

allies completely reject the above the trump a news station 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. still had to take john apple has become the 1st u.s. company to reach a value of 2 trillion dollars details on that story and more after this. anyone else seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come to educate and indeed train equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is just not. just one thing it was. once or some variation in all these years. before she. was back to kaiser report summer solution siri the next that was daisy harbor and today we're going to be talking about the pending selves funny stuff soccer team self custody and stuff reliance joining us great quickly will be janice a lot of keystone cops and.

welcome back. this week became the 1st ever u.s. company to be worth 2 trillion dollars apple's value puts it on par with major economy it's 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 about growth has happened since the start of the pen demick experts now estimate that if apple weren't economy it would be cost $5.00 as the 9th richest in the world my colleague in an o'neill asked economist edward hall and jeffrey tucker for their thoughts on apple's 2 trillion dollars valuation. does it seem as if some things are quite right when millions are losing their jobs or close to it on 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 all across

the world and especially in the us governments have it been bankrupting 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 that needs to be under public scrutiny and to perform at a higher level and providing innovation rather than 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 so 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 i think that's 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 google 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 and once company can overtaken 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 operates now. hong kong has joined beijing and denouncing washington's decision to suspend a series a bilateral treaties and what is the latest spat between the 2 countries it 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 hong kong government strongly object to and deplores the united states action which is widely seen as a move to create troubles in china u.s. relationship using hong kong as a pawn on wednesday the u.s. announced it would be suspending 3 treaties with hong kong that cover the surrender of fugitives as well as extradition a black bilateral agreement on tax exemptions on income from shipping operations has also been scrapped hong kong has suspended its side of the agreements in response the trumpet ministration has cited china's new national security law which it claims is eroding the city's autonomy but china expert professor benjamin child says the u.s. doesn't have the moral high ground on the issue. the u.s. says is trying to protect a freedom and human rights of the ongoing people but the us itself is a ring's much of the work then hong kong in many related measures and dearest no
