politics. i'm sure. collapses now would collapse follow and everything would be put back years president. media including out. protesting the detention of the opposition figurehead. also ahead of coronavirus. restrictions with the so-called 6. 6 people. germany test results to the global chemical weapons

office saying the brush an opposition figure. had been pressuring raising fears about the spread of. thursday the 10th of september. headline news. first for you then. continue to voice last month's disputed election under fire president is warning that the whole country would collapse if he's forced out. his claim came in a lengthy interview to russian media including r.t. . someday i will leave maybe but i will not allow the destruction of what we have created with people with generations i would not allow it to be destroyed this is how i live now and how this country has changed what keeps me very much in this

situation and you probably know it too if look at collapses now the whole system would collapse and belarus would follow and everything would be put back years well maybe someone would have lent a hand but now it would be very hard and these guys from police special units and others those who are with me they would be blamed and they would be assaulted and torn apart a senior correspondent the of be looking more closely at that interview belong with the latest developments in belarus. they went to alternate leg. a number of prominent russian journalist including artie's editor in chief margaret assume and yahoo who were allowed to pitch the embattled russian president alex are the new shake of various questions and they went on ad meg's about all manner of topics including the internal politics in belarus the you know the protests that have been going on all the all the rage and all the you know what predictability surrounding

the political crisis gripping bellaver said he also talked at length about foreign meddling talking a lot about how it is becoming glue belies internationalized how a protest could be organized and run via telegram for example from from an entirely different country talk about poulan that the united states which he says very clearly picked sides in this internal struggle that is bella russian and yet all these protests telegraphed channels and groups are being won from from other countries he talked about the internet for example this is lucia talking about the internet a man who who forced the into that you to force that down. into that shut down across belarus at the peak of protests trying to disorganize people trying to through the protesters off of their feet you know off their ballots and he said

ultimately it is all pointless and we know that he has certainly tried he says that if belarus fulls if it falls that russia is next he said that vladimir putin who in deering you referred to as his elder brother should take note of what is happening because that is what is coming for russia he also talked about the protests of course you know better russia isn't a huge country a population that isn't even 10000000 and you have a certain. points on the streets of belarus we saw more than a 100000 people sunday a traditional day of protests yet. insisting on the fact that the majority still with us of course for me it is very resentful and tragic if you like but this does not mean i gave up because i look at it philosophically well someday the lord will call me but i must protect what's been created by our hands protect

those people who created it and those are the overwhelming majority the majority who voted for me although they watch me every day on every device you name it maybe they got poort but they supported me this is how i live now. he may have a poor better or worse is a country that is split divided and often you know at each other's throats it is a situation where you have brother marching against brother the security services the military much of the government are indeed in side he doesn't do it a lot of support but the middle class for example the progressive's the i.t. workers the service industry the young they certainly aren't on the side again we see protests of almost 100000 people marching gets. on sundays now a traditional day of protest and he talked about potentially leaving his post about

potentially giving up you know he's nickname of europe's last dictator but he said he was like poor think of for example ukraine the president he had billions stashed away and sweets bank accounts then he could have left but that he doesn't well it's all very well listening to go amuse about the protests and who's fired answered them but the fact is that it is better russians in the 10s of 1000. thousands who are out in the streets every week who prove testing risking you know their lives their livelihoods that their well being because there is a lot of violence the police are restraining themselves they are holding back and the field strength of the law is being leveled against some of these protests some of these protests that there is there is bad blood a lot of bad blood now is in the streets a lot of anger a lot of rage yesterday we should dozens of people detained at the prudish. alleged

detention of the opposition leader maria kolesnikov as you mentioned earlier you see this beam remarkable tendency. among the opposition leaders to out of the blue decide to leave the country often in the middle of the night now where this phenomenon is originating from. who you us because if you ask the better our security services or the president well you know this is something that they have decided in themselves get in the middle of the night they decide to leave the country if you ask the opposition they'll give you an entirely different story they'll describe how opposition leaders are being pressured and bully or forced out of the country by the security services by the police maria kolesnik was saying that she. allies saying that she ripped up her passport on the border when she

realized what was going on gets alexander lukashenko giving a very different version of events peaceful protests to centralise with no leader applying tara to protest this is meaningless people are not afraid of the violence the government is using against them 1st of all the afraid of living in a lawless state which will become a reality for them and their relatives it's a situation does not change in this country and the rule of law and democracy is not restored. you may well be looking for a way out but he insisted that he simply won't allow. what he has built over the decades of his rule in belarus that to be destroyed to collapse like the protests that he says being to sponsor. from abroad by foreign countries from poland to from the united states yet we've got to look at this from the perspective of the hundreds of thousands of people who who go out to demonstrate who go out to prove that every day for them there is only vote one viable option and that is for lucas

to reside some reaction that kevin owen earlier heard from the president of the mises a scientific research center in minsk who believes the country to look at shank as claims the nation's already falling apart it is claimed that she is the only guy who can give the country going is just can be interpreted in the quite the opposite meaning the question should and must the realize that this system has been building is about to collapse and is collapsing look at the numbers are wage earners for exchange rate there are no worse new sort of people trying to flee the country look at i.t. sector there is a demand to leave the country for bush because they didn't power but he does have his supporters to support his habit out on the streets would you say that's just 3 percent all of you witness more than independently even with the administrative resawing that here applied he couldn't get more than 50000 people in downtown minsk

a one of the sundays this is it so what here i visited some of the clips actually people who are not there of their own accord you say were coerced into it some are exactly that it was the way to call words and to show solidarity we have with our groups of people but they are guarded by police because they are afraid to tell the truth and the police just the way that people are kidnapped in downtown is shows that the police are afraid to show their faces this is again lawlessness. first time since july boris johnson has addressed the british people over the fight against the corona virus with daily infections now surging again he's bringing in strict new measures for england including the so-called rule of 6 and gatherings of more than 6 people prime minister said he had no choice. i'm sorry about that and i wish that we did nor did have to take this step but as your prime minister i must do what is necessary to stop the spread of the virus and to save

lives the whole point of them is to avoid a 2nd national lockdown so i want all the new measures well it's all about the rule of 6 from monday the 14th of september the new regulation will be the new law in england is that you can have no longer have any gatherings larger than 6 there will be fines if you break these rules the 1st fine will be 100 pounds and then they can keep doubling up to a limit of $3200.00 pounds also of course there are the exemptions code secure events and hassles of 6 plus in the bubbles and also the gatherings for work and education there also exams the prime minister is very keen that the nation still manages to go back to work the children scout still go back to school and of course the universities are returning as well so why is the need for these new measures it's all about a rise a sharp rise in coronavirus cases there sharply on the rise or the government's chief medical advisor chris witty he was also on there with the prime minister as

well he said that the cases that come up rapidly over the last few days even and the rates are going up in a certain age group as well it's amongst the young people the 20 to 29 age group and 2nd most in the 30 to 39 age range and there's also been a particular rise among the young and that has been stately rising since the middle of august well earlier we had prime minister's questions as we do on a wednesday and up an opposition leader he also had a few shot where. so say about the government's the u.k.'s test entry system and he said that it was on the verge of collapse what we're seeing now is stories over the past few days that is showing the justin regime is on the verge of collapse hard breaking stories from people who needed to been told no tests are available or the website is crashing or people are being told to go miles and miles for a test nobody can argue that this is good governance well this comes at due to the fact that the government would claim that they're ramping up testing that it's more widely available now than ever in fact more tests are being conducted in the u.k.

than across the whole of europe but at the same time as well there's also been a survey conducted amongst medics about how they feel about having to deal on the front line with coronavirus and all of those 69 percent say they're more likely to quit from the pandemic and government treatment leaving $1143.00 planning to leave the n.h.s. at the end of it basically we're looking at medics who think they're on the edge of burnout well the scientific basis for all of these measures that was highlighted by the chief medical advisor so chris which he early on he is the example of spain amongst other european countries he said that there had been a sharp rise there but if you implement measures to combat that then you can prevent what along they've been anticipating a 2nd wave but to do that they have to implement a strong test and trade system as highlighted by the opposition they've also as you heard from the survey got to keep the medics on side but more importantly they've got to maintain the confidence and the diligence of the general public to ensure

that they stick to these measures if they are to prevent that 2nd wave. germany has passed the results of a medical tests on alexina valmy to the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. russia had been pushing berlin to share its data directly with moscow. the test results have been handed over to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons russia is a member of this organization or that diplomatic spot between perlin and moscow is heating up over what happened to alexina valmy the german ambassador to russia was summoned to the foreign ministry in moscow and what cheese heard how russia is far from happy and what it sees as accusations coming towards it about the alleged poisoning of the lexan of the strong protests was made to the ambassador over the unfounded accusations presented by the government of the federal republic of germany against russia in the context of the illness and hospitalisation of russian citizen alexina of only and the obvious use of his situation by berlin as an excuse

to discredit our country on the international arena the g 7 leaders have also issued a joint statement in which they talk about the confident poisoning of alexina folly the statement also calls up for action from moscow the russian foreign ministry not particularly happy with that they say that the main obstacle towards action being taken by moscow remains germany not sharing the information it says shows annex alexina valley was poisoned with a nerve agent with russia at this point all requests berlin has not deemed it possible to respond swiftly and constructively a lack of information prevents the laura foresman from using all the necessary procedural mechanisms to find out what's happened and the rounding this case is growing stronger moscow made those requests for information sharing back on the 27th of august and russia is unlikely to be very happy that this info is going to

be passed to the o.p.c. w. previously moscow it said that should the hague based group be involved in this it would amount to little more than an information campaign from the german government . 60 minutes. the way the. talks with you. already. break. join me.

fires destroyed greece's largest refugee camp which is located on the island of lesbos it's left around $13000.00 migrants without shelter the same camp had already been at the center of local concerns over the coronavirus mashallah do bensky now reports. dummer describing this is a time bomb that has finally exploded thousands fled the morea migrant camp on the greek island of lesbos in the early hours of wednesday after those fires broke out now firefighters spent hour tackling the blaze which is said to started in the field around the camp but also there are suggestions that there were fires started within the camp itself this is a camp that houses almost $13000.00 migrants according to him for migrants 70 percent of those who've been living there are from afghanistan but there are people from around 70 other countries that have made this tourist camp their home for

months or perhaps even years. living there were living it 4 times the capacity that the camp was set up to look after at the time now those who fled the camp this morning made their way on the highway towards the port at me to leni some was said to be suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation now it wasn't bad enough that they had to flee the camp as it was on fire this morning there are reports that some were attacked as they made their way to the port people escaping out of moriah we've created these people will have had enough trauma for tonight and 10 years here are getting reports of some locals are taking and blocking people's passage into the nearby village where the marrow of the island has been talking on a local radio station on wednesday morning saying that thousands of migrants are now being guarded by police on the highway that's to keep them in one position one because of these reports of attacks by locals but also because of this issue with

cove it 19 now last week one resident at the camp tested positive for 1000 subsequently 35 wrenched cases were found at the camp now it isn't known what caused this fire but the greek gods. parties are looking into reports that this could have possibly been arson of the reason for that is that there are local reports by the greek media that those 35 protests cause it positive for kovac 19 had refused to isolate with their families and that was causing tensions in a camp that is notorious for the problems we've seen over the last few years but we know on wednesday this camp looks like it has been largely destroyed and the problem now which will have to be dealt with immediately is how to look after their protect and how it's the thousands of migrants who have been left without pretty

much anything. british government is being accused of threatening peace in northern ireland and any hopes of reaching a trade deal with europe after downing street said that it would override part of the brics a deal struck with brussels to make sure there wouldn't be problems when the transition period ends on the 31st of december but the move prompted a stern warning from the e.u. just because i'm going to need to respect the will fully expect the owner of the commitments that negotiated and signed up to last year who go to citizens rides northern oil and any attempt by the u.k. to undermine the agreement would have serious consequences against this hostile backdrop and a throw around of talks with london has begun saskia tail has been assessing their potential for success. how i long for the breck set days even stability that you know over moves one part permanently outside number 10 braxton's president today after delay after delay is

a passive but something reassuring in not so comforting that in these tumultuous times one can turn to brick set and like the good friend that it is but still that in fact nothing's changed round bump bump 8 of breaks a trade talks has begun and apparently this time and ups enough we have now been talking for 6 months and can no longer afford to go over well trodden ground we need to see more realism from the e.u. about our status as an independent country the needs to be in agreement with our european friends by the time of the european council in the 15th that's going to be enforced by the end of the year but perhaps it wouldn't be bracks if it wasn't full of the satisfaction in empty promises by u.k.'s having 2nd thoughts about withdrawal agreement signed back in january so it might override key parts of the last brussels basically says we get our soup to a free trade deal by mid october and the media thought of the u.k.

renee seeking on its word elicited cries of more mature from those bureaucrats in brussels do you. believe shawn franks ability and creativity to work with the u.k.'s red lines it's time do you good to great i trust the british government to implement their withdrawal a criminal an obligation under international law and prerequisite for any future partnership protocol in ireland northern ireland is essential to protect peace and stability on the island and integrity of the single market the one room of the got people especially worried is that tucked away in voters' pocket is something called the internal market belt and the contents could jeopardize peace and security along the i was border but downing street denied this same that it's only proposing my own. alterations which would provide clarity on such an ambiguous part of the deal but even at home not everyone is convinced about who the head of the new paint legal department quit over the whole thing and then there is this one minute minor

detail proving to be just a little contentious piece god's great interaction or in a very specific committee white oh wow jones it's just specific but is all this proves to be the straw that breaks the camel's back on the u.k. and you don't shake hands the u.k. will be left popping up out in the north sea with no deal and no towers from the gas classic bracks set everyone happy and looming deadline threat of no deal and now the prime minister losing trust something means not to change america's professor at the london school of economics alan scared to leave the brussels is still refusing to accept that britain's actually left the bloc think both sides would like some kind of deal however. the e.u. insists on treating britain like it can run a good province that we can really be truly independent and the best good we should still be for to you. and it believes the tissues policy

should still apply to british territory waters. believes that when it comes to rules and regulations the british shouldn't be able to make their own should be forced to. run any new regulations see you to get their approval 1st and of course. impossible for the british to accept. that's the way it looks from moscow that's happened to watching the next update center around half an hour from now now that being in the arctic international i don't want to.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did dose after dose after dose after dose and really

became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments. thanks guys or financial survival. when customers go by. then else well reducing our. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. hello and welcome across soccer all things are considered on p. roosevelt all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by

a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win reelection but this time around it is a race trump made lose and let's be clear this has little to do with joe biden how did we get to this or. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guests in washington she is a democratic strategist and political analyst and in los angeles we cross the joker . once he's a g.o.p. congressional candidate in california's 43rd district court process up rules in effect that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate ok traditionally i go to the person that got up early is for this program as joe in los angeles welcome to the program joe and i hope i have a nice cup of coffee to keep you company donald trump's in trouble in the polls and one here in looking at the candidates see if joe biden which i have to say white honestly i can't imagine how it inspires anyone so obviously this is getting down

to being a referendum on the trump time trying to time in office was that a fair characterization a referendum less than an election. no i wouldn't think so in a reason why is because he was down in the polls whenever he running into every clinton and. not double digits like this i'm sorry yeah i mean still going to close down the polls very gross and how much are down i think what they have to remember is he's running against joe biden i mean he's in my opinion are one of the most racist politicians and the entire united states and when you think about his history politician in here you know out of place america then why what he did and why he was in the senate in 2 he would have probably you know how barack obama fix america by the fact that he feels like right now it is time to fix something that he feels is broking in my opinion asinine i think trump is going to win this election he's running against joe biden who in my opinion that's not

a great candy for office to present a united states where i mean should i say i said in my introduction when you're mean we look at the history of the presidency the likelihood of being reelected the incumbent being reelected is quite high ok there are obviously exceptions but it's a trend here and donald trump isn't really. duplicating i guess the same question to you it seems to me it's much more a referendum on the occupant of the white house and it has almost nothing to do with joe biden you're free to disagree. obviously go ahead and disagree that what we are seeing with president trump is a president who has aggressively gone against the grain of all things when it comes to moralistic being someone who is seen as presidential he is taking this role of in authoritarian versus someone who actually understands what a.
