no dares thinks. we dare to ask. 2 weeks of political turmoil in belarus will be can't supply another large opposition protest in the capital on sunday as rallies in support of the president of game significant momentum over the past. can't believe this is happening in bellevue so i took the town where i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at the move the authorities deny every little things the worse it is for the sea the people's voices but we hear now they haven't been heard. in hospital after being airlifted from russia to receive emergency treatment opposition figures been in a coma since falling critically ill. those were u.s.

requests to re-impose sanctions against tehran is rejected by the remaining members of the iran nuclear deal. it is here in moscow this is r.t. international thanks for joining us. we begin in belarus where another large protest against the presidents of the presidency of alexander lukashenko is expected to take place people have been taking to the streets for more than 2 weeks now alleging that he rigged the recent election the country's been left deeply divided by the vote a week that followed it was dominated by opposition protests on monday supporters of the president began to hold council rallies and they have gained some momentum the size can be distinguished by the colors they support. this morning but my heart's bleeding and i can't believe this is happening in bell. and i

love i love the my thanks to his opposition we are strong it is them who made us united we are the people we've been living in fear for a week we've been crying all these calls for change buying batch tables at the grocery i told the seller i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at it i think their thirty's are wrong the election results are a complete lie it's very sad the more the authorities deny everything the things the worse it is for the state i feel bad for the country and for the people i believe that the people's voices that we hear now justify what people decided in the election they haven't been heard now they will have to listen every day to what's going on here. is a pro-government gathering scanning the mentum one of the largest rallies occurred in grove notice in the west of the country on saturday to correspondent english dawn off listen to an emotional speech from alexander lukashenko managed to speak

with the president. what you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a pro-government rally and indeed this this meeting is very special and compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days not because it's it's exceptionally large because 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 right over here and over you know you know these fake flight times all the time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of that is stage footage time will pass we will come and show you everything they have received information that there are private enterprises all over the country that are pushing people to strike some have become insular to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives 3 pace 8 on car we have telephone conversations they say cross the coach but why why will you do you think i'm returning to the streets . who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some

mistakes forgive them 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 there's a different mood here because here people are supporting him so that's what he's thanked them for and essentially his messages be. 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 yes no 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. 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 heads so this is what's going on here. in the meantime a number of foreign countries have challenge the legitimacy as president rejecting the election results and you have confirmed destroying the sanctions and his official suspects of election fraud and violence against protesters started holkins delves into why the former soviet republic is still so much international attention . just a fortnight ago many. western viewers may have barely heard of belarus that will

change the thousands paul out of the streets in protest over the disputed presidential election it's the country's geography which between its big east the neighbor and europe sees the interests of international players intertwine and clash. officially the e.u. is dismissed the elections as neither free nor fair. as persona non-grata and already begun drawing up new sanctions lists citing human rights violations in the wake of police violence closer to home we have held e.u. why discussions on sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations how these sanctions will be organized and whether there will be further restrictive measures depends on the further actions of the bully russian authorities. condemnation was perhaps predictable but there is no shared view of what comes next the baltic states and poland have been the loudest critics of location while hungary has stopped short of outright that l.c.a.

sion others still have sought a balancing act the e.u. can't turn a blind eye neither can it risk having it be stabilized neighbor state on their doorstep and confrontations with moscow a longtime ally of minsk are getting tiresome. so it's no surprise putin has been busy on the phone holding talks with merkel mark kroll and the european council chief we all see russia as an actor that can help influence or regulate the situation a better roof's is russia's closest historical ally a vital economic and military partner and a buffer zone against nato recent years have seen their relationship strained to say the least nevertheless moscow would surely rather put up with a look of shame goes over to yours to the west and risk chaos on its borders the russian side emphasized that any attempt at external interference in the internal affairs of belarus which could lead to a. further escalation of the crisis would be an acceptable. for

many years but it doesn't exactly been a top priority for the united states in 2006 they slap sanctions on minsk for you guessed it undemocratic elections and in 2008 the countries expelled each others are masters but earlier this year things began to change for the 1st time since 1904 minutes got a visit from the u.s. secretary of state. generously offered to meet all of energy needs and extended a helping hand it out of 6 wanted to help the reuss build its own sovereign country this leaves washington with or should they carry on befriending look who may be interested or put their bets on the opposition and it's the uncertainty in minsk one thing is clear washington has its own interest in belarus the possibility of another u.s. friendly state on russia's border could be a game changer and as protests grow in

a country suddenly thrown into the international limelight and with multiple interests at stake all actors involved hold their breath as they play out their next move. the russian opposition figure alikes in italy has been admitted to a burglar in hospital for emergency medical treatment he was airlifted on saturday from the siberian city of homs that arny's been in a coma since he fell ill during a flight to moscow on thursday with the latest his peter oliver. take a lot of wrangling between doctors in russia and the only family but election of ali is here in the shot at a hospital just behind me he flew in on a medical plane that had been chartered by his supporters on saturday he arrived here flanked by a convoy of police motorcycles and other vehicles he's receiving treatment to take and will be subject to extensive tests to try and work out exactly what resulted in

him ending up in that coma he's been in since the state police of issued a statement saying that they are here in more numbers than they would be normally at the hospital because of missed and being traced here we aren't expecting really any diagnosis from doctors before monday we do know that. lexan of on these wife is here as well be looking to see if there's any statements from the family russian doctors had warmed to the lexan of ali might not have been well enough in order to make the journey here to germany they were reticent to allow him to do so but they relented at the request of the family but we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family he will help organize the transportation. it was thursday when alexei navalny took well on a flight from siberia to moscow he was seen to be in some extreme distress on

the flight on the plane when it had to make an emergency landing in the city of paramedics took him off to the hospital claims have been made that he's the victim of a poisoning his team suggesting that poison may have been slipped into his. doctor's however who trusts him in the city of say they carried out a top screening and that came back negative for any poisons that they were treating and i beg your pardon under the premise of it did. diagnosis if you will the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered emitted by a disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off this isn't the 1st time that there's been claims that an x. in of on these been the victim of a poisoning last year he was hospitalized from prison with what his team claimed to be a poisoning it later turned out to be an extreme allergic reaction now the kremlin

spokes person. has said that there is no truth to these claims that he's been poisoned they said that they were behind any of the delays in getting him from russia here to germany that down to the concerns raised by the doctors and in fact the russian authorities had rushed through paperwork to allow him to make the trip he also said that he wished alexina valley a speedy recovery the union calling for a full investigation into exactly what happened to alexina valley on thursday on that flight that resulted in him being in a coma since then and ending up here at the shot at a hospital in a lot of answers being looked at in a case that's becoming increasingly politicized. was soon as the news of. broke western media rushed to speculate on possible kremlin involvement several cases were cited when the russian government was accused of poisoning people. vonnie is

not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin for my spies to cripple and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector alexander litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad amir karim was poisoned twice and survived the tourists for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target double agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is the poisoning. i am at the last who would be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty it's a it's a cliche for their west doesn't 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 personally i want to speculate if it could be done by

russian government agents without which inseparable with potence 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 both in the story or. and or in the story of. germany france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected u.s. requests to reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact illiberal 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 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 snap back 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 u.n. 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 where did the 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 recall no contraries to resist and i stress once again that the us press are on 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 ceased 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 away 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 calm and on which i think today it's

clear that the united states is size a limited and american unilateral ism is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the security council the united states was defeated and the slum a group of iran has the upper hand about it 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 united states had declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran foreign correspondent 3 selleck told us america's actions are more for a domestic 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 l a that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back and we've seen all kinds of procedure iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela are all perfectly legal but the u.s. claims the unilateral right to post 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. unable to get support any other country in the world for these. actions including britain france germany and staunch u.s. allies are completely rejected by the company's duration 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. i'm cheesed

a soldiers overthrew the president of mali after months of anti corruption protests now they say that the planning to hold a new election formats this but. join me every. sport i'm sure i'll see you then. lead.

welcome back the african union has suspended mollies membership due to the ongoing military coup that soldiers have overthrown the president and they say that they're planning to set up a transitional government and hold new elections is a video that reportedly shows troops taking the country's president from his residence as he was being detained on tuesday yars later president cater paid on

t.v. announcing his resignation. to deceive you i would like to inform you of my decision to resign from my position with immediate effect and with all the legal consequences this entails the dissolution of the national assembly and of the government. uprising began with a shootout at the cutty military camp that's close to the capital of purcell just detained their senior officers before marching on bamako and storming the residence of the president that rising has been widely condemned including by the u.s. and neighboring african countries to follow several months of protests in mali about economic hardship and alleged government corruption.

but. the former leader has been accused of mismanaging the economy corruption and worsening the security situation with jihadist groups in the north also people are not happy with his backing of france malise former colonizer french troops have been stationed in the country since 2013 the year he was 1st elected to keep the terrorists a day after being reelect. did in $2900.00 k. to sort of fall in his popularity the molly an army facing losses from terrorist attacks enough to dozens of legislative elections were disputed the spring demonstrators started to take to the streets calling for his resignation. and people here jumped for joy to see a final farewell to mr. clarke a time he's no longer our president. nothing is going well in mali and we are all suffering but the does not suit us we must advocate for dialogue above all. story

and home claims that the roots of mali's latest insurrection can be traced right back to nato intervention in libya in north africa 9 years ago. this coup attempt was basically a result of the 2011 tragic overthrow and murder of more market darkie libya into nearby the united states of america and its nato allies particularly britain france that in murder of gadhafi led to a leakage of tons of weapons into neighboring mali which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time had been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers in bali and killed as a result this in turn has led to a french military intervention backed by the united states of america and it's also helped to generate unrest and instability this might be on the verge of seizing

power. which could have a negative knock horlock route the neighborhood not least in the wall in guinea. the u.s. democrats have officially nominated joe biden is the running for president in a virtual vote during day 2 of the party's virtual convention despite efforts to attract younger voters with a star studded lineup for some events proved to be a bit of a bull. without a doubt it will be the most boring repetitive gold meanspirited convention in history of. the d.n.c. so far feels like one long have to usually skew. this

convention so far makes me think the democrats are the party ready to lead america into the. party crowd i'm dying which means an instant message is good but while casting. both democrats and republicans are making a whole raft of campaign promises including about american military interventions example joe biden says he wants to see an end to forever was his track record on peace though he will also be desired in culture explains. donald trump's surprising 2016 election victory had a lot to do with one golden promise and america's endless wars i am

proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing america's core to show interest to avoid endless wars that were caught up in the current strategy of toppling regimes with no play and for what to do the day after only produces power vacuums that are filled simply by terrorists we now know he didn't deliver on his promise but many americans still long for that away says of peace and in 2020 the opposition understands this all too well democrats know it's time to bring nearly 2 decades of unceasing conflict to an end left wing right wing it doesn't even matter polls are showing that 3 out of 4 americans want troops withdrawn from afghanistan and half of them want to see cuts to the military budget when it comes to u.s. foreign policy the vast majority of americans are fed up with never ending war and yet the democrats are supporting joe biden as their candidate a man with

a track record of supporting conflicts. let's start from 2002 when joe biden jumped right on the weapons of mass destruction bandwagon and supported the u.s. invasion of iraq clearly be more secure without saddam hussein in position of weapons of mass destruction almost 5000 american soldiers dead thousands more iraqi civilians killed a catalyst for the rise of the islamic state i wouldn't say any of that fits into most people's definition of peace and security in my mind for her we're. going to have you. know our oh you know. as barack obama's v.p. biden cheered on america's longest war in afghanistan he called it a success and promised to bring the troops home that strategy is succeeding and as a consequence the president is making good on his commitment to bring our young men

and women home right on schedule while here we are 2020 and so little has changed it just goes to show us operations in afghanistan are more about dysfunction than success what are we trying to do here we didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking if the american people knew the magnitude of these dysfunction syria libya pakistan yemen the list of countries that were bombed while joe biden was vice president is very long so are we supposed to believe that he's going to put an end to year's event list war you decide well biden was there he was in the room where it happened as you say he was there for 8 years of obama so he can't divorce and so through obama's warmongering policy pretty rich for the democrats to pretend now that they're the peace part of the because we had 8 years of president obama starting more wars i think than any president in decades before hand before him more drone strikes more followings more killings under president obama hope it

was all for everyone's own good when in fact just last month when president truman announced he wants to remove 12000 troops from or you want to remove troops from afghanistan the democratic party that controls the house actually teamed up with liz cheney daughter of dick cheney to try to block and they actually passed legislation to try to prevent the end of the longest war in u.s. history so for them to now say we want to end endless wars it really is a farce who knows that the voters will buys that's nonsense. thanks for joining us here on all today i'll be back with more at the top of their.
