headline stories this hour that bell a russian opposition leader urges. the pressure on president lukashenko with more work strikes on protests but there's also a growing support for the embattled leader. we stand for an independent billers only with peace and tranquility will be able to survive i've seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing to europe and living in my grand camps i do not choose this this is really a revolution. russian doctors give the green light for me to be flown to germany for treatment the opposition figurehead is in a coma. poisoning the cause of his illness.

world powers reject a us call to reimpose. over the nuclear deal washington quit 2 years ago. one minute past midday in lima 11 pm and 8 in the evening right here in moscow this friday august 21st welcome to international. rallies kuntar protests are sweeping belarus for a 3rd day in the wake of the disputed election there throughout today friday large crowds have been gathering in support of president lukashenko in the country's west r.t.c. chorus down off reports. right so what's the. city.

looks. the great. me behind me excuse me you can see your guess is good when it comes to scale but. there's definitely thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of messages. to be played out in public to a lot of people making a point the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags just. essentially. white and white the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble.

during the 2nd world war. because a lot of people in. history those. will . take it seriously even those who support your position. because. they are. an example to. come here. just from here. they come from neighboring cities. and you go well belarus says exiled opposition leader has given her 1st media conference since from 2 nifty renia set to kind of skype use the opportunity to tell foreign countries to respect the software and to your fellow earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in

a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on president bush and co with more workplace strikes. as of us talk at absolute 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 who will make the coward hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us well with both the e.u. and russia being locked to mediators in the bell russian 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 but then 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 up there saying you know it's a president lukashenko claims that the un rest in his country was planned by outsiders pointing the finger at the us journalist and former diplomat alexander blown off say dialogue between the opposition and the government will succeed only if both europe and moscow act as mediators. if. 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 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 long standing 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 have given the all clear for alexina valmy to travel to germany for emergency treatment the opposition figurehead is in a coma and medics have ruled out poisoning hours the cause of his illness riff and

told us more or. the doctor is in charge of treating alex st of ali in 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 with his wife julie or even appealing to president why demur putting the medics say that the vine is still very weak and he's not stable that they smallman he's not strong enough for travelling but they say they're ready to allow these trust potations at the german doctors and the family's risk. we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family we will help organize the transportation earlier the russian doctors after discussing the volleys house with their german colleagues who came to all my earlier on friday said that air transportation could be specifically dangerous for

aleksei because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you of the violin 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 a video emerged in the internet where we could hear alec saying of violently crying and shouting and in distress and paid. earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that tough to testing they say the violations blah the urine samples absolute no traces of any talk 6 substance have been found this is the conclusion they came to. the team of doctors

concluded. since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered and it's about disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off 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 if you demo 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 see here that we give him all i will support his family his loved ones for a prompt recovery 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. going to be reporting to me despite what the

russian doctors say about toxic materials we still here are saying that violence supporters talking about poison 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 violence 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. germany france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snuffbox functions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact give up hope and picks up the story for us. 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 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 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 difficult 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 we can all countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. plans are in low for. 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 seize 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 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 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 united nations said on thursday about the u.s. declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran long time foreign correspondent reece erlich told me 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.r. way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back we've seen all kinds of seizure iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela 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 strain and 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 about the trumpet 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 efforts to gain reelection i think frankly it's quite the opposite. it's a lucrative time to be a shareholder in up all the tech giant this week became the 1st ever u.s. company to be worth it to trillion dollars. puts it on a par with major economies it's not surpassed in fact the g.d.p. of brazil canada russia korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years now and most of that growth happened since the start of the demick experts now i submit that if apple were on a call me it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world economists edward whole jeffrey tucker share their thoughts with me earlier on the 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 all the lockdowns all across the world and especially 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 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 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 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. a court in germany has sentenced that woman to 21 months in prison on terrorism to human trafficking charges the 30 year old guilt of the sin of syria for spying guilty of sending several young women to syria

become. state fighters the prosecutor was asking for 3 and a half years in prison for the court to time the defendant had spent in a turkish deportation center. made short she had been a supporter of eyes of the partly less than one year additionally 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 the 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 radical change in ideology we believe this is tactically that's why we're skeptical journalist adel darwish told the program earlier that cases of former islam mixtape members successfully reintegrating into society are.

big problem because the. defense has been. defensive backs money the only. evidence or as the defense. pleading. to me is that the. more was convinced that i haven't actually come across many of them who have to integrate into society in fact. even the ones who do. because that all easy. going to be nazi ideology is just a way of life. 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. i guess you see this is a point to all of human because. of liberal minded left wing socialist.

loving. the woman happened having a problem of unity happen or the people the history some kind of live between be a father on the mother and the flimsiest of evidence that will actually think that children away with it will improve things i don't see why that social services don't actually think that's the way from the end to the ones that parents who might . go with the idea of you have this. moving all to news in russia a residential gas explosion has killed at least one person an injured several more in the russian city of yugoslavia we can look at some images not. of what is occurring there that blast destroyed 3 floors they collapsed in
