your guess is as good as mine here when it comes to scale but i would say there's about there's definitely thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of them and their message is some of them one don't want to but none of them want to listen ukrainians and to be played out in their public also a lot of people are making a huge point about the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags are behind and just around him well essentially they have been saying that white red and white flags the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble. the shoes by the collaborationist during the 2nd world war of a huge problem with that because a lot of people in. 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. that was what was the century the flag the colors of the picture was what. broke the camel's back. i came here because i want to give belarus the way to i don't want to under arrest i'm a mother i have a small child i want him to grow up you know peaceful and beautiful but nobody forced us to come here everyone has their own opinion and we should not prevent each other from expressing our views. i'm from belarus for peaceful believers i'm 60 years old and i've been working as a drive on. i had a life and i've traveled to europe i have not seen a better country than belarus and i was outraged that your position provoked our security forces to violence i saw it myself i'm for peace in our country and we just need to start talking to each other. so this is can they are.
2:04 pm
government was not only an example of. how they have come here. not just from not just within the city they've come from neighboring cities as well this is now the sort of. look at how could. anyone from the ground can get in the spotlight can be in the center stage and speak. for belarus as exiled opposition leader has given her 1st media culture for instance fleeing to live here so it took all of sky use the opportunity to tell foreign countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on president lukashenko with more workplace strikes so of us talk at that so you're trying 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
2:05 pm
asking you to keep on strike who will make the call would he all voices the voices he has stolen from us. here are some of the latest pictures we have from its side many people are standing alongside a highway leading into the capitol carting. white flags used by opponents of the. line starts on its side to a detention center where demonstrators are arrested during the early days of the un rest are being held it stretches to the skirts of the city up to the site of historic mass graves where people executed during the stalinist repressions were buried it's. a moscow based political scientist. told us how he thinks lukas shouldn't go will seek to end the crisis. in such case it's battle to i'm dissipate future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and
2:06 pm
to try to. set up some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue a round table discussion about the future of develop better research biology cannot development about social and political development and somehow to incorporate. moderate opposition into political process try to maybe not sharing power but dry to allow them to participate in decision making at the local level of regional level at the national level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who are intending to make sure their present well he doesn't want to maybe to our direct negotiations with the council because they are self appointed people so all the legally they do not represent the house and the population so it's not clear who they are representing in this and this court in
2:07 pm
including council but i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with the local local leaders lexi to me. local officials local deputies. russian doctors have given the all clear for alexina only to travel to germany for emergency treatment the opposition figurehead is in a coma and medics have world poisoning as the cause of his illness rafa national point. 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 they smallman he's not strong
2:08 pm
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 vollies house with their german colleagues who came to all my earlier on friday said that air transportation could be specifically dangerous for aleksey because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you of the scene of violent 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 alex cena violently crying and
2:09 pm
shouting and in distress and in pain. * but. earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that tough to testing alexander violations blah than 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 that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered immense above disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off . well 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. bones mist in the valley we of course
2:10 pm
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 what i would 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 looking to and invite you 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 if 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 or as soon as the news of the bombings in this broke western
2:11 pm
media rushed to speculate on possible kremlin involvement several cases were cited when the russian government was accused of poisoning people political analysts to me to believe the poisoning rumors do not stand up to scrutiny. of course he support us will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. i am at a loss who would 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 i want to speculate if it could be don that by russian government agents without which inseparable with putin's approval is
2:12 pm
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 our the exodus both in the story or. in the story over. germany france the u.k. russia china of all rejected a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snuff sanctions can be triggered part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact kill 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
2:13 pm
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
2:14 pm
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 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 week on all countries to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. plans are on loehle. 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 as i have repeatedly recalled the us unilaterally sees participation in the j.c.b. away by presidential memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and has subsequently not
2:15 pm
participated in any j c p a way related activities he cannot have for 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 in which i think today
2:16 pm
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 slum a 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. or russia's deputy envoy to the united nations said on thursday about the u.s. had declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran long time foreign correspondent research like told me america's actions are home more for a home audience. the u.s. has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this it's very quite explicit in the
2:17 pm
terms of the j c p o 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 all perfectly legal but 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 get support from any other country in the world for these. actions including britain france germany and staunch u.s. allies are 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 efforts to gain
2:18 pm
reelection i think frankly it's quite the opposite. explosion killed at least one person in a russian apartment block story and more after the break. more of my guide to financial survival this. device used by professional scallywags money. that's right these are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more exposed that. stabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race.
2:19 pm
very dramatic to follow only. i don't see a. very critical time to sit down and. this is. why certain. you're back with the r t international a residential gas explosion has killed at least one person injured several more in the russian city of yugoslavia located around 250 kilometers to the northeast of moscow now the blast occurred a number of hours ago it caused 3 flower floors to collapse you can see the
2:20 pm
pictures here in one section of the apartment block destroying several homes the damage there is no residents have been evacuated from the building. 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 2 trillion dollars of value puts it on a par with major economies in fact it's repast the g.d.p. of brazil canada russia south korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years now most of that growth since the start of the pandemic experts no estimate if all were in the column e. it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world i put a few questions to economists edward hall jeffrey turk or on the 2 trillion dollar valuation. does it seem as if something felt quite right when millions are
2:21 pm
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 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
2:22 pm
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 as oh 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 the consumer to excellence i think that's most important thing and there's a that's the essence of what we mean by free enterprise it's supposed to be equal
2:23 pm
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 overtake him 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 sentenced the woman to 21 months in prison on terrorism human trafficking charges the 30 year old jewel so this in
2:24 pm
of serbia and germany will spawn guilty of sending several young women to syria to become brides of islam makes a fighter's the prosecutor was asking for 3 and a half years in prison however the court contoured time the defendant had spent in a turkish deportation center and noted a short time the alleged short time she had been a supporter of bible 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 other trials for other people who wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them this chance. we are not convinced by how display a radical change in how ideology we believe this is tactically that's why we are skeptical journalist adel darwish told the program earlier that cases of former
2:25 pm
islamic state member successfully reintegrating in society are rare. because the. defense is paid for by taxpayers money the only way that is not enough evidence or as the defense. pleading germany is that the. more was convinced that i haven't actually come across many of them who have to integrate into society in fact on the commissary even the ones who work at the start. because that kind of ideology. from the nazi ideology is just a way of life for them you were talking about leniency there and it was also said
2:26 pm
that having children this woman having 4 young children was also take into account is that correct. again you see this is a point argument because. of liberal minded left wing social services will take away. from the loving. if the woman happened having a problem of unity happening or there's little the history of some kind of between being a father on the mother and the flimsiest of evidence that actually think that children the way for their own protection i don't see why that social service don't actually take that children away from the ones that pay it might. do with the idea of you have the yeah the debate the fallout from the story sure to continue and if you'd like to delve deeper into any of the stories we've been going through a good place to venture is r.t. dot com why not leave a comment or 2 in date with your thoughts again at the top after some more great programs beginning here in
2:27 pm

2:28 pm
no team no crowd. no shots no. factions don't speak up. no the 1st to. point your thirst for action. when i was a child small seemed wrong but old old just don't call. me old buddies yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and in detroit because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
2:29 pm
pain has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that it might be causing long term. crazy. a little you know. he just took out a syringe and. made a shot but heroin. i have been waiting for the moment of complete and total societal collapse i never knew it would happen this. new york alone has become
2:30 pm
a place where dozens and dozens of demonstrations were driving through brownsville one of new york's neighborhoods that has the worst homicide shootings rate in the city. about to get going. oh my god this is the most of the season you know. why people are going to the 2nd grade so we're going to even go with the 1st wave. of little i'm going to feel much. the same that's what's going on behind those walls the richest country most powerful and yet it has the worst response there's they're all countries that i don't. lurch grew into a bit more used to doing nothing about it.
