opposition crowds flood the but our russian capital has the post-election rest. being lifted from siberia to receive emergency treatment and russian opposition figure has been in a coma. and also in the stories that shake the u.s. request the sanctions against iran is rejected by the remaining members of the iranian nuclear deal.

from moscow thanks for joining us on a weekly on r.t. international welcome to the program. that was started by our us where there is no letup in the wave of anti-government unrest tens of thousands gathered in minsk on sunday calling on president lukashenko to step down over claims the rigged election . has this report. so this is what the anti-government protest looks like right now and it has become sort of a traditional regular place for people to gather and vent their anger after the highly controversial elections and right now you can see that behind me this towering structure and the museum behind it are being guarded by the security forces they are not letting people come close but they aren't trying to the road between the security forces and the protesters has become sort of an improvised border and people have been flocking here very very large telegram channels with lots of followers which are being used to coordinate these protests because the

it's not like people it's not it hasn't been spontaneous it has been organized it has been coordinated through internet for instance the reason why protesters aren't trying to storm the structure is because this channel has called on people not to do that and not to approach the museum that's behind those behind the structure on the on the small hill so soon they will be moving to another and we believe that the final location of today's protest and so far because so far judging by what i have seen of these people these protesters they have been following every direction given by the coordinators. a lot so alexander lukashenko there greeting security forces a few hours ago they had to seal off a perimeter around the presidential residence during the protests in minsk crowds

were moving towards the compound because schenk arrived at his residence in body armor he was seen xico helicopter with a gun in his hand he was accompanied by his 15 year old son. has been left deeply divided by the election the week that followed it was dominated by opposition protests but on monday supporters of the president began holding counter-rally. did not want my heart's bleeding and i can't believe this is happening in. the all of us. and i love i love the. 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 shingle rat i think there thor it is all wrong the election results are

a complete lie it's very sad the more the authorities deny evidence 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. on saturday thousands showed up for a pro look at shanker rally in the western border city of god the president himself delivering an emotional speech he reiterated his claim that the political turmoil gripping the country is being stirred up by external forces he was able to speak to him right after his appearance on stage. well i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical 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 been bullied are being pressured to attack russia they see as

a springboard and we have to wipe it out. number of foreign countries of challenge the. president rejecting the results of this month's election use confirmed it's drawn up sanctions against by the russian officials who are suspected of election fraud and violence against protesters. blocs foreign policy chief has however called for caution in dealing with belarus yourself what else said europe cannot allow the country to turn into a 2nd ukraine doesn't have to choose between europe and russia and the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov also warned against the repeat of the 2014 ukraine uprising. we will support any decision that the belorussian government takes to promote dialogue with its people but when western countries say that mediation can only be effective with their presence of course we all remember what happened in ukraine where negotiations with our partners failed

that is why the belorussian people will decide for themselves how they want to emerge from this situation i think the clear signs of normalization that we are seeing are very important but i know that not everyone likes what is happening there are those who want to shift the current flow of events in belarus which is normal and peaceful to a path of violence to provoke bloodshed and create another ukraine scenario. syd learned to. declaring that she wanted to take care of her children but evidently she wasn't allowed to settle that so she started making political statements quite harsh ones demanding more strikes and protests it's significant that she's making more and more statements not in russian or belorussian but in english her target audience is in the west and it's possible they don't insist on this the whole goal is to ensure that they don't calm down but keep stirring up the situation some by the russian opposition figures who live in the west and are

trying to influence the events in their country from abroad want everything to be different they want blood they want to provoke the belorussians security forces who are not touching anyone right now and not intervening against peaceful demonstrators we think this is criminal. russian opposition figure alexei navalny has been admitted to a burning hospital for emergency medical treatment is that after on saturday from the siberian city of all the while he had been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday it's all of a has the right. 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 and 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 the berlin police have also put out the same and saying that they are here in increased numbers due to mr vanney being in this hospital now we aren't expecting any updates really from the hospital until maybe monday morning. air lexan of on these wife is here so we'll be looking to see if there's any further statements from the family now russian doctors had objected to him moving initially they said that alexina vanny was too ill to be able to make that journey however they relented at the request of the family because 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 for 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 now 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 claims that there has been a poisoning in the kremlin of the hind that is being strongly denied by the need to the best school fees flooding your 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 the transportation had been due to the concerns raised by the doctors he said that he also wish mr in the valley a speedy recovery but 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 it's a big sexy story isn't it james bond stuff the german government was along with mike brown to offer to host the medical facilities here

and where he's going to show it is one of the best hospitals in europe i mean the russians who visits germany for health care. is the hospital of choices and politics behind this and yes i think the german government was keen to make sure that he comes through this and gets the best possible care because they want to see the active opposition leader continue his work try and push for more democracy less corruption in russia and so there's some of that thinking goes to. the fatal police shooting of a black man in the u.s. state of louisiana asked spot large scale protests video of the moments leading up to his death has gone viral warning you may find footage distressing. the confrontation happened in the city of la on friday and was. 31 year old color

and was pursued by a police officer entering a gas station even in the background of the video can be heard saying he has a knife. and several officers caught up with him at a convenience store way the suspect was tasered but officers said it was ineffective so he was then shot the video was posted online and on saturday crowds gathered to protest. hundreds of people marched to the lafayette police station demanding justice for mr keller and the situation escalated towards evening with clashes breaking out on the run police moving in police have promised to investigate the deadly shooting which has been condemned by the american civil liberties union as horrific case follows months long protests over alleged racial injustice and police brutality following the death of george floyd in minneapolis we discussed the case earlier with journalist daniel. there's every reason for suspicion that the police overreacted

there is a consistent pattern of brutality blacks are treated very badly by the criminal justice system it's a very bad racial situation that's and we're getting worse not to justify the officers actions trigger happy actions as well in any way but do you think running from armed police officers is ever a good idea people are afraid of the police black people are afraid of the police with good reason they're afraid that if they are that they surrender to the police they will be killed the months of b.l.m. protests in the wake of the george floyd killing the calls to defend the police have the protests actually achieve anything or what have the they've achieved there certainly brought the drop dramatised the problem. they've they've impressed the much of the population there really is a serious problem but the american political structure is unresponsiveness their birth the chasm between rich and poor is enormous and it's getting worse by the by

the year american political institutions by certain measures are more racist now than they were 16 years ago for example so the american government is actually in some ways more just now from the needs of ordinary working class people than it was 60 years ago. wealth polarization shooting through the roof and political instability is growing. germany france the u.k. russia and china have all rejected a u.s. request the reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snapback sanctions could be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact a lot more 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 u.n.

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 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 snap back 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 this was west to you and i was aware different concerns that reckless acts by the united states could trigger a serious crisis in the security council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this recall in 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 u.s. unilaterally seized participation in the j.c.b. away by presidential memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and has subsequently not

participated in any j c p o a related activities you can know that for be considered to be a j c p a 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 calm and in which i think today it's

clear that the united states is size elated and american unilateralist is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the security council the united states was defeated the 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. russia's deputy envoy to the united nations said on thursday the u.s. had declined to hold a security council session on the issue of sanctions against iran a long time foreign correspondent reese erlich told us america's actions are designed more for homewood in the us has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue

this very quite explicit in the terms of the j c p a way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back we've seen all kinds of seizure iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela all perfectly legal but the u.s. claims the unilateral right to pose its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. but frankly rather than a sign of 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 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 reelection i think frankly it's quite the opposite. us democrats this week

officially nominated joe biden as their running for president in a virtual vote at the party's virtual convention despite efforts to attract younger voters with a star studded lineup for some of the event is proving to be a bit of a bore. without a doubt it will be the most boring repetitive told meanspirited convention in history at. 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 you can see messages goodbye to. 2 2 both democrats and republicans are making a rod of campaign promises including about american military interventions bought and says he wants to see and to for of awards. isn't exactly something to herald a little course of explores. 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 korda show interest to avoid

endless wars that we're 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 and 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 even if i'm. not happy and. there are no you. 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 years of endless 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 bombings more killings under president obama hope it was all for everyone's own good when in fact just last month when president trump

announced he wants to remove $12000.00 troops from where he wants 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. up next losing alaska all to documentary explores the challenges of life in the western u.s. they are back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines join us again but.

when else chose seemed wrong. but all roads just don't hold. me you get to shape out these days comes out ahead and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population and tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the are you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were. as the review can seniors and we found out more i

was surprised about the extent. to which the pollution was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where all the take you on and give the go ahead. you know put over here they are so being you. know yes for on a. boy yes yes. or a. preposition here is a look to repeat here for just. a pretty good word to say to your boy yes. so 3 it is a good gauge just be there to give the word word or words for. these
