and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. the belorussian opposition leader urges for this and to keep up the pressure on president lukashenko with more strikes and protests there's also a growing show of support for the embattled leader. that we stand for an independent builders only beef and tranquility will be able to survive i've seen how countries have been destroyed with people being on boats to europe and living in migrant camps who must not choose this path this is real they call the revolution. also those are russian doctors give the green light for understand of all need to be flown to germany for treatment the opposition figurehead is in a coma and tests have ruled out poisoning as the cause of the. bus world powers

reject a us call to reimpose sanctions on iran under the nuclear deal that washington quit 2 years ago. this is are to international bring your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. bowlers as the exiled opposition leader has given her 1st media conference since fleeing to lithuania so 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 the go with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election through the country into political turmoil. as of us talk at that site you can join entirely legal and paul who weapon against the regime and they know it that's why they intimidate you leave the scene mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone and muskie need to keep on

striking who will make the call and he says the most is he has stolen from us. those in favor of the president are making their voices heard motorists have been displaying the official red and green flag while driving in and around minsk a large relative place in the eastern city of the pits on thursday thousands gathered in an empty eater chanting their support for the shango. but i'll join live fire our correspondent who is in belarus for us could you bring us up to speed on the situation. there well absolutely i have to tell you that well it's really really loud here what is playing behind me right now is the national anthem of the republic of belarus a little bit of context we are right on the western of the country in the city of brest to see a lot during the tongue of the 2nd world war as it's known here the great country don't see one beside me behind me excuse me you can see well your guess is as good

as mine here when it comes to scale but i would say this about the stephanie thousands of people maybe clubs to 10000 there's a drone flying around so when we get aerial pictures with you. it will be more likely for us to get a better projection and basically people have to look to a number of them and their message just some of them one change some don't want change but none of them want to. break in sanaa to be played out in their public also a lot of people are making a huge point about the flak you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags out behind the just around me but essentially they have been saying that the white. red and white flag the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble the black that used by the nazis collaborates during the 2nd world war and they have a huge problem with that because

a lot of people here. history those are huge and there was huge movement here to get. your will. they take it seriously so even those who may have supported your position in the circumstances that was what it was essentially the flag the colors of the picture was what. broke the camel's back in school so this is the they are. only an exam to. come here. they're not just from here they're not just within the city they've come from neighboring cities as well this is. something anyone from the ground can get you. can get in the sport like can be in the center stage and speak. this is what's going on here at the same time the opposition is it trying to trying to bring to the capital the capital of the country essentially

they're going to drive us to. jam the traffic that. this is the pro-government rally has come under similar opposition action is taking place in the country's capital. r t is it goes all of reporting apply for. a bank. without the e.u. and russia being looked to as mediators and the crisis we asked people in minsk who they'd like to see 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 belorussians again of course despite having russian and bell russian roots i feel closer to the e.u. here blotters belarus to remain as belarus and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors really are saying you look at franco claims that the unrest in his country was planned by outsiders pointing the finger at the us journalist and

former diplomat alexander bone of the dialogue between the opposition and the incumbent government or the feed only if both europe and russia act as mediators because. 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 type but 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 is legitimacy has been severely undermined the key question is how will the coordinating council act 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 the gauche ations 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 jew political 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. germany of france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected a u.s. request to re-impose sanctions on iran's so-called snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signature is held 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 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 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 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 and this was west to you and i was aware different concerns at reckless acts by the united states could trigger a serious crisis from the security council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this we're connel countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. plans are on loehle. 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 in and has subsequently not participated in any j c p o a 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 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 calm 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 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 or let's raise our like

says america's actions are more for a home audience. the u.s. has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this very quite explicit in the terms of the j.c. that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back we've seen all kinds 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 impose 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 gives support 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 story 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. russian doctors have given the all clear for all axiom of all meat to head to germany for emergency treatment the opposition figurehead is an intensive care in the city of after pulling fiercely ill during a flight on thursday morning is currently in a coma and medics have rolled up poisoning as a cause let's bring in our chief maria from last night for the details maria doctors are now allowing him to fly to germany after earlier saying it wasn't possible due to his condition what's changed. yes indeed the doctor is in charge of treating aleksei now vali and russia's siberian city of almost now agreed to allow his transportation to a clinic in germany this is something his family has been repeatedly calling for his wife julie or even appealing to president lied to me saying the medics say that

nirvana is still very weak and he's. not stable they smallman he's not strong enough for travelling but they say they're ready to allow these transportation at the german doctors and the families risk. but we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital considering the requests of his family we will hope organize the transportation. earlier the russian doctors after discussing the volleys house with their german colleagues who came to all earlier on friday said that transportation could be specifically dangerous for alexei because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you i felt very ill while on the plane on his way back to. he felt ill no one could understand the reason it was very very sudden. and almost

immediately after that emerged in the internet where we could hear alexander violently crying and shouting and in distress and paid off to that the captain had to lend the airplane was an emergency landing the ambulance was at the runaway immediately after the aircraft to help was right there let's take a look at this video. while alex cena violet is known as a prominent opposition figure here in russia and of course. the situation with his health attracted a lot of international attention. in the veneer. about missed in the valley we 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 interventional 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 invite you to be reporting to me. earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that after testing alexander violations blah the urine samples no traces absolute no traces of any toxic substance have been found this is the conclusion they came to. if you will the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic

materials in his blood he had suffered a metabolic disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off . but despite what the russian doctors say about toxic materials we still hear violins supporters talking about poisoning and we have to remind you that this is not for the 1st time just last year there was a very similar situation when alex cena vialli suddenly felt ill and they were very quick to say that he was poisoned but it turned out later that it was just an allergic reaction back to you or it is maria from the ocean the sting across the developments on that story for us thank you. as we mentioned doctors have concluded that the moment was not poisoned but western media have already reached 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 truly. the government's saying this would not have been possible without hussein's approval. is a very. silent sea 6 like. we always. do or 6 of. course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is the boys in bob i am out there was a cool could be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty it's a cliche for their western media the western news agency is to blame rushdie 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

a 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 broadly the role of are the exodus borth in the story or. the story of. this week tech giant apple became the 1st ever u.s. company to be worth 2 trillion dollars apple's value puts it on par with major economies 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 of that growth has happened since the start of the pandemic experts now estimate that if it were an economy it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world my colleague you know neal asked economist edward hall and jeffrey tucker of 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 all across the world and especially in the us governments have it been bankrupting small and b. 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 that. 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 and are 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 just think that 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 over to you can 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. a court in germany has certain say woman to one year and 9 months in prison on terror related human trafficking charges 30 year olds have said of

syria and germany was found guilty of sending several young women to syria to become brides of islamic state fighters the prosecutor was asking for 3 and a half years in prison for the court count of time in the defendant had spent in a turkish deportation center and noted the short time she had been a supporter of i saw apparently less than one year off the sentence took into account the defendant's 4 young children. when someone distances themselves from terrorism as she did then you have to give them a chance this chris said to president for other trials for other people who wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them this chance. we're not convinced by how display a regular change in how ideology we believe this is tactically that's why we're skeptical earlier i spoke with journalist adel darwish he said cases of former islamic state member successfully reintegrating into society are rare. there's

a big problem because. the defense has it and the defense is paid for by taxpayers money the only way that is not enough evidence or as the defense. pleading in germany is that they. are you more was convinced that i haven't actually come across many of them who have entered into society in fact on the contrary even the ones who were. at the start of those in jail because that kind of ideology as inseparable from the nazi ideology is just a way of life for them you were talking about leniency there and it was also said that having children this woman having 4 young children was also take into account is that correct. again you see this is opposed to argument because it is very

severe of liberal minded left wing social services will take away. from the loving . if the woman happened having a drinking problem out there being that he had been it dated or there's little the history of some kind of lie between being a father and the mother and the flimsiest of evidence that will actually think that she was there in the way for their own protection i don't see why that social service don't actually take that children away from the influence of the parents but it through with and through with the idea of you have the. hong kong has joined beijing and denouncing washington's decision to suspend a series of bilateral treaties and latest spat between the 2 countries it comes just weeks after the u.s. 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 objects to and deplores the united states' action which is widely seen as a move to create trouble since 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 they cover the surrender of fugitive as well as extradition and shipping a tax exemption for hong kong has also been scrapped a top administration has sided china's new national security law which it claims is eroding the thirty's autonomy of china expert professor benjamin chao says the u.s. doesn't have the moral high ground on the issue. the u.s. says it is trying to protect the freedom and human rights of the ongoing people but the us itself is rowing it's much of the work then hong kong in many related notions and dearest know police kneeling on the neck of people choking people to death is that many a very being angry with washington who is applying that was then did it come

ignoring the fact that many people do not want themselves to be represented by a foreign entity we have dealt proper station remember 3 mm median home the rest of the half of the population signed a petition to support the new measures appeal that has been set to spark a new round of action from the us. that's been our roundup of the day's top stories for now for further details on all of them and up to the minute reports also on facebook or instagram. well the pandemic no certainly no borders and islam 2 nationalities.

as americans we don't come with the we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be. people. judging. coming crisis like this is something. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing each in our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges crane with the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together .

well it was. all the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race. dramatic development only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.
