independent assessment as what the german scientists of found then it's hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct the full investigation or say look we don't know that he was poisoned our doctors say that he wasn't so why should we just accept what the germans say when the germans refuse to provide us with any scientific basis to assess their findings either way russia has to be punished and not just this sanctions to make previous sanctions quote pale in comparison but also by striking as an entirely unrelated project but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the north stream to project russia's president putin is turning increasing into a dictator who persecutes opponents including by means of poisoning attempts the poisoning attack on the russian opposition leader must lead to targeted reaction the baltic sea nordstrom to should not go into operation for i'm going to put those who has been fighting to keep north stream to live despite the best efforts of such

low gas crisis is that alongside all the international figures she's called for moscow to conduct a full and transparent investigation which the kremlin has already said will happen but only when it becomes clear what exactly needs 'd to be investigated if the division is identified if it's determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course it would give grounds for an investigation no delts so far there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused novell needs condition despite a preliminary investigation that was initiated zoe is or was the 20th no evidence of an intentional criminal act against the valley has been established and no evidence that would allow us to classify this incident and a criminal law has been found so far well the world awaits thought the findings of the praises heat of those doctors and the lead. the medical professionals who initially treated me on getting quote this is

election and better or worse which triggered unprecedented scenes of protest sunday was also president lukashenko has but demonstrators have been marking the occasion by laying flowers at his official residence when he once again gathered in the capital center to demonstrate around 140 arrests have been made c.e.o.'s down off as been among the crowds in minsk. you can see there is several 100 people behind me several 100 people are waiting for these for this crowd just over there now you can see a lot of police vans here because they are right here just in time right on time when this meeting was sheffield to begin with it's not just police vans but. there are police vehicles in full riot gear there are there's some really developments machinery just over there check it out and so centrally you can see the police filling everything that's going on and over them this is why people are moving
7:23 pm
essentially so they're chanting go go leave and they're chanting shame shame but essentially what they want they want the incumbent president of the republic of belarus to step down we've seen daily action but this is it because it's a sunday and this has become sort of a traditional saying for them have to say a couple words about some pro-government action that the capital of better us has seen essentially that have been opposing actions between both the anti government and the pro-government protesters have been. book's the end so to speak because there's a line of special forces literally a few meters away from me and people are yelling at them they're yelling change shame they're saying that you swore an oath to serve and protect this country like and they're saying who are you protecting this country from now so essentially now this column is not being allowed to move any further and in the back very slowly
7:24 pm
from what i can see a very heavy police force is moving from the back sort of kind of cramping it in look at this sea of people and let my cameraman just show you over there look how far it has stretched out along the road and. this stella is a sort of a symbolic it has become a regular i a routine venue for people to come out and mosques and vent their anger now where they're coming from over there in that direction is the presidential residence. of the. the presidency of the well incumbent president alexander lukashenko and it's his birthday today so but these people weren't wishing him a happy birthday here they were wishing him a quick departure from power because they have been demanding fair elections they do not believe that these elections have been fat. the families of british health

workers who lost their lives on the front lawn to covert have been warmly could lose welfare benefits if they accept compensation from the government that's because the 60000 pounds a lump sum offer would be treated as counsel in means tested benefits that could leave them and eligible for payments such as the low income top up universal credit as well as housing or pension benefit critics are saying it's a fair to the loved ones of people who died trying to save others. the government was wrong to say we must own of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so it's shocking that families are being forced to choose between accessing social security they're entitled to all the compensation they need. the british government though insists such benefits have always been calculated the same way the principle is that payments only go to those who cannot meet basic needs for a senior health consultant says such an approach hardly encourages workers to put their lives on the line. was very unfortunate it took
7:26 pm
a long time for the present bodies of all the workers to negotiate this with the government and then to subsequently find that it is going to be treated as capital is a step backwards it should just be a payment and we must remember people die as a result of being in the front line saving lives and often in circumstances where they are working with inadequate p.p. so they are really truly honestly. very much in the front line in danger and their loved ones should not be also being that ised just because they received 860000 barrels payment 60000 pounds does not little very far in our current lot and therefore it just is a payment for somebody who has put their lives in the front line it should not there before that penalize you've got capital we're not going to help you if this
7:27 pm
comes to be what will happen is then healthcare workers may make a choice to say you know what i can't think about it i don't want to put myself in the front line that would be also a negative backward step. or to add insult to injury for many a small payoff from the government brought state to health care workers on the streets on wednesday. last month the government announced a 3 point one percent pay rise for almost $900000.00 public sector staff health workers though had been going door to a 15 percent to make up for years of shortfall even worse many not even on the pay rise list and it was national health service supporters cleaners and nurses. government predicting that way and i have enough when you know i'm saying if you think that we're going to go back win the battle still get out sanction i'm sorry but it's not really worth risking our lives to go and a patient when we're actually putting ourselves at risk too many of our colleagues
