and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. 2 weeks of political turmoil and belarus is capped by another huge opposition protests in the capital on sunday at his rallies in support of the president again from that moment in the last 7 days. also this hour unexplainable me is at a berlin hospital after being airlifted from russia to receive emergency treatment the russian opposition figure had been in a coma since falling critically ill on thursday. and a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions against tehran is rejected by the remaining members of the iranian nuclear deal.

welcome to the weekly where we bring you the latest news along with the roundup of the biggest stories from the week that was. we start in belarus where another huge protest against the presidency of alexander lukashenko is currently underway these are the latest pictures from central minsk where thousands have turned out people have been taking to the streets for more than 2 weeks alleging that looks rigged the election in his favor the country has been left deeply divided by that vote the week that followed it was dominated by off the vission protests but on monday supporters of the president began holding counter rallies which have gained momentum the 2 sides can be distinguished by the colors they support. if the boy does my heart's bleeding and i can't believe this is happening in bell. and i love i love you. thanks it is 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 i was buying vegetables at the grocery i told the seller i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at i think their thoughts are wrong the election results are a complete lie it's very sad the more the authorities deny ever 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 have been heard now they will have to listen every day to what's going on here. with pro-government gatherings gaining momentum one of the largest rallies took place and growth now in the west of the country on saturday are to correspond of listen to an emotional speech by local shango and even 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 indeed this meeting is very special compared to others

that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days not because it's exceptionally large because it isn't but because it's the 1st one we've seen alexander lukashenko the president of belarus make an appearance and he made a speech after frank furedi around the world during these fixed time over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of the stage 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 3 pace. we have telephone conversations they say cross the coops 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 yes no i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during the critic. the period they were preparing for that they were going to work 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 bin 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 some local local hits so this is what's going on here. meanwhile a number of foreign countries have challenge local legitimacy as president rejecting the results of the election you have confirmed it's drawing up sanctions against fellow russian officials who are suspected of election fraud and violence against protesters artie's daniel hawkins delves into why the former soviet republic has drawn so much international attention. just a fortnight ago many western viewers may have barely heard of belarus that all changed as thousands pall over the streets in protest over the disputed presidential election is 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 in closer to start number we told you why discussions on sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations how these sanctions will be organized and whether they 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 macron and the european council chief we all see russia as an actor that can help influence or regulate the situation a better roofs is russia's closest historical alloy a vital economic and military partner and a buffer zone against nato over recent years have seen their relationship strained to say the least nevertheless moscow would surely rather put up with look at yours to the west than risk chaos on its borders the russian side emphasized that any attempt at external interference in the internal affair. years 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 democratic elections and in 2008 the country's expelled each other's ambassadors 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 the united states wants to help fellow troops build its own sovereign country this leaves washington with a dilemma should they carry on before ending look at 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. russian opposition figure i'll extend not only has been admitted to a berlin hospital for emergency medical treatment he was later airlifted on saturday from the siberian city of arms and only has been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday r.t. it's bitter over has the latest. took a lot of wrangling between doctors in the russian city of. the family but alexei navalny is here in germany here arrived on saturday in a special medical plane that being chartered by his supporters he landed here in berlin and arrived at the hospital flanked by a column of blue flashing lights police motorcycles and other vehicles accompanying the ambulance that he was in to be shot at a hospital he's receiving treatment and undergoing extensive testing at the hospital to try and determine what is behind his illness that resulted in him being

in a coma since thursday early in police have also put out the same and saying that they are here in increased numbers due to mr vanney being in this hospital and we aren't expecting any updates really from the hospital until maybe monday morning. air less in of on these wife is here so would be looking to see if there's any further statements from the family now russian doctors in had objected to him moving initially they said that alexina valmy was too ill to be able to make that journey however they relented at the request of the family 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 alexina valmy took on well on thursday on a flight from siberia back to moscow he was headed to be in some clear distress while on that flight the plane made an emergency landing in the city of on

skin he was rushed off to hospital by paramedics there has been claims that he was poisoned with some of his team suggesting there was a poison was put into his t. doctors say that they ran a talk screening on him while he was in the hospital in that came back negative that they were treating him under a different diagnosis if you will or the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered emitted by disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off . this isn't the 1st claim of poisoning against alexina van the last year he was hospitalized from prison his team at the time said that he had been poisoned it later turned out that he suffered a severe allergic reaction and claims that there has been a poisoning and the kremlin of behind it is being strongly denied by denethor the press corps for his flooding here putin's press secretary he said that the russian

government to put no blocks in the way of the legs in the valley travelling here to germany that any delays in transportation had been due to the concerns raised by the doctors he said he also wish mr in the valley a speedy recovery for the european union have said they want a full investigation into what happened to alexei navalny in what seems to be a case that's demanding a lot of answers in re raising certainly a lot more questions than we have ounces at the moment a lot of eyes focused on the hospital just behind me in a case that is becoming increasingly politicized. as soon as the news of illness 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 former spice and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector alexander litvinenko died of radiation

poisoning activist glenn 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 a poisoning. i am at a was a cool could 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 or 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 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 probably there always are the exodus borth in the story or. the story or. still to come on the weekly soldiers overthrew the president of mali after months of anti-corruption protests now they say they plan to hold a new election to tell them that story and more after this break. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront a shoe let it be an arms race is on offense period dramatic development only loosely i'm going to. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those. thinks . we are here to ask. welcome back germany and france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected a u.s.

request to re imposed sanctions on iran the so-called snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact artist 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 my studio 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 recall no contrails to resist and i stress once again that the u.s. prices are low for that they will use in the united states has withdrawn to. 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 seize 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 a way related activities you can know that 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 c. 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 said 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 slummy 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 united nations said on thursday that the u.s. had declined to hold a security council session on the question of sanctions against iran long time foreign correspondent reseller told us 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. iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela are perfectly legal for the u.s. claims unilateral right to close its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. but frankly rather than a sign of strength and this is a sign of weakness because u.s.

is unable to get support any other country in the world for these. actions including britain france germany and staunch u.s. allies competitors rejected by the administration 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. the african union has suspended mollies membership due to the ongoing military coup their soldiers have overthrown the president and say they plan to set up a transitional government and hold new elections this video we're showing you now reportedly shows troops taking to the country's presidents from his president as he was detained on tuesday and a few hours later present keita appeared on state television announcing his resignation. of the c.e.o. i would like to inform you of my decision to resign from my position with immediate

was basically a result of the 2011 tragic overthrow and murder of more market duffey in libya engineer by the united states of america and its nato allies particularly britain and france that food and murder of gadhafi led to a leakage of homes and weapons into neighboring mali which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time have been waging a brutal and bitter war against these soldiers in mali if you haven't been 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 in bomb mco which could have a negative knock horn effect route the neighborhood not least in your wall in guinea. that's been the weekly here on r
