the long term effects may not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they may be causing long term. effects in a. hospital after being airlifted from russia to receive margin treatment from an opponent has been in a coma since fall and critically ill on thursday. the russian leader form a human chain through minsk as post-election unrest rolls on a large rally in support of alexander lukashenko has taken place in west them by the us r.t. managed to speak with the president. i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical period they were preparing for that they were going to win if i came out i was afraid of these people would have suffered that is why we took a break. and sweden registers its highest 6 month death rate in 150 years fuelling

criticism of its approach. from moscow thanks for joining us tonight on our team. welcome to the program now the russian opposition figure has been admitted to hospital for emergency medical treatment he was airlifted on saturday from a siberian city of he's been in a coma since falling violently ill during a flight to moscow on thursday your correspondent peter all of a has the latest from the german capital. alexina volley arrived here at charlotte's a in a emergency vehicle a intensive care transport vehicle that was flanked by police motorcycles as well as other police vehicles we had a statement from the shallots

a hospital asking for patience saying that they are going to be carrying out extensive diagnostic tests on him to try and determine what was the most of the coma that he is being in it comes after a lot of wrangling between russian doctors in the city of almost and the family he was transported here to germany on a medical plane that was paid for and charted by his supporters that plane containing. specialists in dealing with coma patients however doctors in school weren't sure that he was in a fit in of state they felt he was too weak in order to make the journey however they eventually relented at the request of the new file me family 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 alexina valley took ill on a flight from on thursday from siberia to moscow he's been in

a coma since then paramedics arriving on the sit when paramedics arrived on the scene of the plane which had to make an emergency landing in it was clear that no valley was in some extreme distress. there have been claims that that election of only was poisoned however the doctors who traced him in say they carried out a talk screening and that they that came back negative for any toxins in his system they say that they were treating him based on a different diagnosis the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered a massive disruption. with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off last year alexina vialli was admitted to hospital from prison his team at the time suggested he'd been poisoned however it later

turned out he'd had an extreme allergic reaction what we have seen though is conspiracy theories and allegations a bound to that end of army is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin former spies and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector alexander litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad amir khan was poisoned twice and survived the jury is for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target double agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin claims of any poisoning is being denied by the kremlin putin the russian president's press spokesperson to meet the press corps saying that they wished missed in the valley all the best and a swift recovery saying that any delays in his transport haitian from russia to germany had been due to the concerns from the medical staff in fact the kremlin had

rushed through documentation to allow him to make this trip what we are hearing is that the european union wanting to see a full investigation into what happened so missed in the valley in a case that is becoming increasingly politicized. medical staff in berlin say they're running expensive tests to establish what's wrong with the wildly so honest modern so it's too early to jump to conclusions. well obviously if it's a case of poisoning there's going to be an awful lot of placing boy western politicians and others but of course it's not clear who would have done the poisoning who has access to the alexina it will be zone. maybe 8 working with intelligence agencies in the west to create such an incident as we're seeing now that sounds farfetched but it isn't really if you know the history of nato special operations going back many decades that doesn't mean that they did it and it doesn't mean the russian state did it and it's not even clear

that this is a poisoning so i think everybody needs to take a deep breath and think very carefully about the damage that can be done wild allegations. and opponents of the butter russian leader are keeping up the pressure almost 2 weeks on from the disputed election rallies were held throughout south by condemning the brutal police tactics seen earlier on in the unrest across march through ments carrying the red and white flag that's become a symbol of the anti-government movement many of the activists are carrying flowers as well you can see a placard here with a message love is stronger than fear the past few days people up in forming a human chain across the capital with passing cars honking their horns in support was no noticeable security presence. meanwhile the president is also making their voices heard a large pro-government rally took place in the west of the country on saturday. i

was there and gave a speech he reiterated his claim that they're. being stirred up by external forces on the correspondents was in attendance and managed to speak to the president. what you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a pro-government rally and. this meeting is very special compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days because it's it's an exceptionally large big. it isn't but because it's the 1st one that we've seen alexander lukashenko the president of belarus make an appearance and he made a speech. for over a year and over these fixed time over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of that is state footage time will pass we will come and show you everything i have received information that there are private enterprises all over the country that are pushing people to strike some have become insulting to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives to repay sait own car we have

telephone conversations they say cross the copes but why why will you do if crime returns to the streets who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some mistakes forgive them but the post-election period has been quiet rocky for alexander lukashenko for instance a couple of times when factory workers boycotted production and he showed up there to try and calm them down he was essentially had killed and booed off stage so they didn't give him any any any any time they didn't really give him any slack if i may say so well here is a different mood here because here people are supporting him so that's what he's thanked them for and essentially his message has been. it doesn't matter who's in power it doesn't matter the only thing that matters is that belarus should stay independent that it should let other nations meddle i had a chance to ask him a question it wasn't like

a media briefing or anything will literally caught him as he was leaving the stage . i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical period they were preparing for that they were going to wait for i came out i was afraid that these people would have suffered that is why we took a break look at that there is a sea of people outside i did not expect to see that here on the western border where being are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out. it was really happy to see us journalists from russia as well what the mood like is here like a public celebration with some classic songs and local local hits so this is what's going on here. meanwhile but a russian opposition leader's fernanda to an oscar has said she will not run for president again on the condition the government agrees to a rerun of the election during a 1st media conference since fleeing from lithuania your office said our only goal

now is to secure a new election she called on other countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus and to let its people decide the future of the country meanwhile examiner has shown kind of said he helped leave the country yeah it was i who transported to the truth when you i just don't want to go into details but she was the one who requested she was begun to be allowed to go to her children she loves them but she's been thrown under the bus. and then foreign ministry and intelligence services reached out to her and now she started making statements. and we spoke to a moscow based political scientist who believes the protest movement in butter rusa lacks a clear agenda. lest the belorussian authorities have managed to curb the strike movement and all the major enterprises a largely up and running the conveyor belts were never shut down and all the factories are producing their output the wave of strikes has died down so president

lukashenko is personally engaged in with the workers and doing it quite effectively following the peak of the unrest last weekend i do expect we will see a spike again tomorrow but i don't think it will be large maybe 10 or 15000 people by and large bellary says seen an outpouring of emotion rather than a revolution there is no clear agenda and there is unlikely to be one so i think everything will be under control soon and the government's domestic legitimacy will be restored when it comes to external digits mysie that will take time they need to learn from the many mistakes that have been made of your opinion has refused to recognise the result of the but arsenal action and the us call that neither free nor fair despite the west pressure present look shanker is adamant he's not going anywhere it's a situation that's reminded some of another leader. many are noticing the ways in which the unrest and valorous a similar to the ukraine uprising or political upheavals in other acts soviet states the latest example though is halfway across the world one leading dissident

is now citing the venezuelan scenario calling on the west to recognize the opposition leader as the legitimate president. we are trying to convince the global community that he can all sky has to be recognized for example in venezuela there are 2 centers of power of course in better use so just know it will be different but it can be done and there are clearly a few parallels like bella ruse the situation in venezuela started with massive protests following contested elections and a defeated opposition claiming the results were rigged. western leaders didn't recognize the election results in either case and of course they decided to throw their support behind the protests the brutal repression of

the venezuelan people must and must soon unique that you do these are dictatorship trying to survive for the coast of unprecedented humanitarian distress of flooring ideological radicalization when the resources of the country remain considerable to those who continue to oppress the good people of venezuela you know this. all options are on the table so what is moral support from foreign powers done for the opposition in both countries well in venezuela they were confident enough to form their own so-called interim government and there's still essentially a system of dual power to parliaments one promo doro the other program things are heading that way in belarus where an opposition coordination council has been formed but if that is if the coordination council believes that the only way to overcome the political crisis is to immediately start negotiations and work out mechanisms to restore the rule of no and hold new elections it's not exactly clear

what the function of these institutions are though in venezuela it's hard to tell what quite though has even gained from washington steer leading so apart from a little chain rattling and protest organizing what is quite those political maneuvering actually achieved as well people never supported in any numbers whatsoever you had rallies were very few people showed up you could leave the military as well and it was totally loyal to nicolas maduro had no interest in following this guy was a pretender and the whole thing was just of course if you ask of the united states to back someone who had no support really to begin with and then to try to calm this off to the rest of the world that he was really good a president have him travel to washington to be stable we're going with donald trump his speech he was there in the public gallery of the u.s. capitol i mean it just didn't fly because there was no support for him so as far as belize goes we don't know what the real support is for the opposition because the election results were probably tainted really know and how much support he has but

we know the guy did never got that kind of support because he was in the country and trying to make speeches and have around him and they found. a laughable figure there are no doubt some key differences between the 2 countries after all venezuela has been suffering from hyper inflation widespread crime and a tanking economy all intensified by u.s. sanctions that's not the case in belarus though let's hope it stays that way foreign support for the better of a position has come from numerous quarters including a prominent french intellectual but not only levies renowned as being no stranger to backing revolt. the united nations was set up. for me it's the war that comes a is too late. these

almost all default defense of operations targets a defense for parishioners to protect the civilian population at the request of the interim governing council i have the impression france could have envisaged that and it would have submitted it as part of a political plan the you will discover in the next few days. how can we put rice who failed to act with regard to syria well by trying to imagine and perhaps to provoke a configuration such as that which has prevailed in libya. but not so many europeans you want the best of the europeans. today in vilnius with the planet's economics going to the face of the blue russian revolution and the opposition to the tyrant actual think that you know it was

a definite mistake on the part of the. team because given that it does have this reputation of someone who is behind sayings wait probably even taken off wants to avoid involving the nation the guy. given the fact that it became known to the media and it was right at least in some media it is sort of counter-productive for the image chichi to produce quite honestly most people who are now protesting at resort. peaceful progress there do that seeing horrible pictures of police smiling and the same on the government side now more and more people are protesting just because they want to say that we are against any change and you know we want to preserve peace so those people are. in the seringe an hour out of their own agenda and meeting at this meeting but you can

also go with anyone you know any no in the world you know a lot for promoting some revolutionary ideas i don't think that may makes any any difference. thousands of people have gathered in central jerusalem calling on the israeli prime minister to resign over corruption allegations. i were protesters marched to benjamin netanyahu is residents the following police attempts to stop the procession israeli media reporting several clashes and at least $33.00 arrests as a male who's currently on trial for bribery and fraud and has been the target of demonstrations throughout the summer the latest rally comes ahead of tuesday's deadline for the coalition government to agree on a budget plan or trigger a new election. coming up local authorities in the u.k. are osing people to dictate the donuts and forget the fries saying that crosses

could bankrupt the health service story and more in a few months. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is fake. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

depths. aura made in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i'll come back to the program sweden has recorded its highest death rate for a 6 month period over the past 150 years 20 twentieth's figure as a 15 percent increase on last year it's regarded criticism of the country's approach to the coronavirus unlike most european countries sweden didn't go into lockdown it was already of public places remained open throughout also there was no official recommendation for face coverings to be used. it is very dangerous to

belief facemasks would change the game when it comes to 19 facemasks can be compliment to other things when other things are safely in place but to start with having face masks and then think you can crowd your buses or your shopping malls that's definitely a mistake. now i swedish human rights x. but we spoke to says economic considerations were behind the government's decision . goal was to keep their. health services. at the certain level i mean not fully obeid in order to take care of all of their war. but of course they were having. good units not completely depleted because they were poor politically not at the meeting in those health care units are the ever leave that we're having. to live

for and that they had the meat of intensive care and then you can join us then we have lists of good by now we're doing it so where we are means that we are yeah we are doing better than attempters but behind this is you know daddy's dentist then it's big vision of getting that the secret on the game it was a day after day but day makes the economy of the countries will be some i see the year so we're going to be in a better position to compete etc but they find that the economy of stood in this suffering as much as the economy of film and on the right amount of countries so generous not only lives you know it's also the economy so it is totally failure is a complete failure. u.k. council leaders are calling on doctors to be more upfront with patients about obesity may help them get their weight under control local government association says concerns about offending people are causing medics the dots the issue with

potentially disastrous consequences for the health service in our that those living with severe obesity cost council funded social care twice as much as a person with a healthy weight according to the government's own figures spending on obesity and diabetes is greater than on police the fire service and the judicial return bind local authorities says things need to change. unless we tackle the stigma and serious challenge of obesity the costly and debilitating major health conditions it causes could bankrupt adult social care and n.h.s. services health professionals need to start having frank conversations about people's weight if it could be an underlying cause of their condition and routinely record it individuals need to take responsibility for their own decisions and the government needs to support them to do so only a quarter of adults in britain are classified as obese with that weight expected to rise by a 3rd by 2024 since the mid 1990 s.

the number of obese men has increased 7 fold while it's tripled for women with protocol almost under walker and human rights campaigner peter tatchell about how they think the issue should be tackled. obesity is a human rights issue because people are overweight often get dealt with a lot of stigma prejudice and discrimination that cheney will not work we need to have a partnership between health authorities and people who wait so together they tackled this problem i don't think that we should we should be forcing people to do anything thought i do believe that these arguments that we hear all the time which is so people college of thoughts freak out like you know what if you want to lose weight that's a very small base trix you obvious i mean do its biggest gains in overweight people seem to be in economically deprived areas there are not many or any even

fresh fruit and vegetable shops and if there are they're very expensive so we need a whole whole whole approach to this issue the idea that fresh produce is expensive this it's out so bad you know 82 percent so it's these cheap at the back of chips now i walk around university kept assessed and every girl i see is because of course you know we've got to change that space by saying look i'm sorry that you eat too much and you need to stop doing it we also have to separate different people that there are some people are overweight because of both and a product rule. that is in their constitution it's not that they can help it it's not that they're overeating it's that their body metabolism and ended crimes are not working correctly in a normal healthy person so we need to understand that some people genuinely cannot help but be overweight on

a serious note space is an incredibly dangerous situation and every time i say pictures of people in the x.x. it's died from codeine see a doctor out of our wrists you know very often it's um white people and so i think it creates a real danger and i just think that we should be honest with people it states that a lot you know if you caught a white that is don't have that it's a cow the fact. it's come up to $330.00 here in moscow to cause a report 70 away in a few moments time the team back at the top of the hour with the latest. the world is driven by dream shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water the escaping the climate change is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is 35 closer than how many was here for i think we're part of america 1st from.

welcome back to kaiser report summer solutions series on back skies with stacey harbor and today we're going to be talking about the many selves of money self sovereignty self custody and self reliance joining us very quickly will be jamison of cheese dot com stacy yes and i just you want to say of course that max and i did invest in casa because we use the service on that some amazing really so jamison i

want to look at a piece from forbes magazine that somebody was tweeting about their article said that 15 percent of american adults now own some form of crypto currency more than half of those invested for the 1st time in the 1st half of 2020 on average they invested about $67500000000.00 in crypto currency roughly $4000.00 per person so lock down stimulus money has been good for a lot of people they're pouring their money into robin hood up and apparently and many people are buying crypto currency if they're buying bitcoin which they should be instead of crypto what do they do now like. you know there's no bailout there's no 2nd stimulus there's no sort of moral hazard available in the big quiet space so what do they do once they get that big client said they take it off in exchange

should they put it on a hard while which they do buying is only the 1st step generally when you're buying in this space you're not actually buying bitcoin you're buying the promise of a bit coin or a big coin iou it is really similar to the banking system in that you know you might have a website that says you own a certain amount of money a certain amount of that coin a certain amount of whatever but when it comes down to it at the end of the day there's counter party risk and as long as someone else is actually holding on to that asset then it can be taken from you or any number of things can go wrong you might not be able to actually access it when you need it so the 1st step is you know getting that iou the next step is learning how you turn that into the real asset that you control yourself so cost offer is key management of all the newbie that there who have a paralegal what's a big point.
