i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm sure both of those i'll see you there. it's looking collapses now the whole system would collapse and belarus would follow and everything would be put back years the president of valerie's skips an interview to russian media including r t where he claimed his country would collapse if he's forced out. but meanwhile dozens were arrested during rallies protesting the detention of the bell they were still physician figurehead maria kolesnik of. germany hans is test results on the legs in of the global chemical weapons watchdog after saying the russian opposition figure had been poisoned with nobby chalk moscow had been

pressuring birdland to shut the data. files coronavirus cases they've u.k. boris johnson ramps up restrictions in england with the so-called rule of 6 banning gatherings of more than 6 people. on the largest refugee camp in greece burns to the ground leaving thousands without shelter and raising fears about the spread of coke and. a warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nikki. our top story is by the russians continue to voice their anger at last month's disputed election the under-fire president is warning that the whole country would collapse if he's forced out alexander lukashenko his claim came in i lengthy interview to russian media including aussie. good luck to you some day 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 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. he has been looking more closely at that interview along with the latest developments in by the verse. they went on and legged 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 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 the lad to be a putin who in dering 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 is 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 add 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 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 course think of for example ukraine former president of the billions stashed away in sweet bank accounts then he could have left but that he doesn't well it's all very well listening to alexander who can go to me use about the protests and who's fired answered them but the fact is that it is better russians in the 10s of. 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 it uprooted. alleged attention of the opposition leader maria kalashnikov as you mentioned earlier you see this beam remarkable tendency. among 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 had 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 implying 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 low a 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 protest every day for them there is only vote one viable option and that is for lucas change to to reside kevin owen earlier heard from the president of the mind sees scientific research center in minsk believes that contrary to his claims the nation is 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 realize that this system has been building is about to collapse and is collapsing look at the numbers are wage earners for each change 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 administered resoldered here applied he couldn't get more than 50000 people in the downtown men's guy in one of the sundays this is it so what here i visited some of the clips that really also claim people who are not there of their own accord you say were coerced into it some are exactly that 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. so many have passed the results of his medical tests here on alexina valmy to that level chemical weapons watchdog p c w russia has been pushing violent to share its state to 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 the diplomatic spot between perlin and moscow is heating up over what happened to alexina vonnie 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 alexei navalny a strong protest 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 alexian of ali 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 the next election of ali was poisoned with a nerve agent with russia this point tool 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 . the 1st time since july johnson has addressed the british people over the fight

against the coronavirus with daily affections now surging again he's bringing in strict new measures for england including the so-called rule of 6 banning gatherings of more than 6 people the prime minister says he has no choice. i'm sorry about that and i wish that we did nor did i 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 what are 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 that 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 secure events

and households of 6 plus in the bubbles and also the gatherings for work and education they're also exempt the prime minister is very keen that the nation still manages to go back to work the children scut 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 all 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 among 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 sharp words to say about the government's the you case test in-tray system

and he said that it was on the verge of collapse what we are seeing now is stories over the past few days that is showing that some regime is on the verge of collapse heartbreaking stories from people who needed to been told no tests are available or the website is crashing or people are being too. well to go miles and miles for interest 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 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 a long 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. fire has destroyed greece's largest refugee camp which is located on the island of les paul's is left around $13000.00 migrants without shelter the same camp had already been in the center of local concerns over the coronavirus reports. some are describing this as 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 attacking and blocking people spare that 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 now the reason for that is that there are local reports by the greek media that those 35 protests cause it positive for coke 19 had

refused to isolate with their families and that was causing tensions in a camp that is notorious for the problems we have 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 protect and house the thousands of migrants who have been left without pretty much anything. the british government's being accused of threatening peace in northern ireland and any hopes of reaching a trade deal with europe that started downing street said it would override parts of the briggs it deal struck with brussels to ensure there wouldn't be problems when the transition period ends on the 31st of december but the moves prompted a stern warning from the e.u. just be demagoguing you. spoke. of the commitments the negotiated and signed onto

laws you got to citizens' droid's northern oil and. you could undermine the agreement would have serious consequences. against this hostile backdrop an 8th round of e.u. breaks it talks with london has begun saskia taylor 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 bricks it like the good friend that it is but still that in fact nothing's changed round bump bump 8 of bricks 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 and the 15 that's going to be in force by the end of the year but perhaps it wouldn't be bracks if it wasn't full of dissatisfaction and empty promises by you the u.k. is having 2nd thoughts about the withdrawal agreement signed back in january so it might override key parts of the last brussels basically says we are soon off to a free trade deal by mid october and the media thought of the u.k. renee taking on its words elicited cries of moans your from those bureaucrats in brussels do you. believe shown freaks ability and grit. to work with the u.k.'s redlines it's time to do you good to great i trust the british government to implement their withdrawal a criminal and 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 entire market belt and its contents could jeopardize peace and security along the i was border but downing street denied this saying that it's only proposing my own. alterations which would provide clarity on certain big us parts of the deal but even at home not everyone is convinced about who the head of the u.k.'s legal department quit over the whole thing and then there is this one minute minor detail proving to be just a little contentious break international law in a very specific and limited boy oh well as long as it's just specific but is all this proves to be the straw that breaks the camel's back and the u.k. and e.u. don't shake hands the u.k. will be left popping up out in the north sea with no deal and no tariff gats classic bracks set everyone happy

a looming deadline threat of no deal and now the prime minister losing trust something was never change emeritus professor at the london school of economics alan scared believes brussels is still refusing to accept britain has actually left the block. i think both sides would like some kind of deal however. the e.u. insists on treating britain like a can and going to get province that we can really be truly independent and the best to do reshoots to report to the u. . and it believes that the common fisher fisheries 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 they should be forced to. run any new regulations past the you to get their approval 1st and of course. impossible for the british to accept. trans lashed out at military top

brass for making weapons manufacturers happy that's despite the president personally approving the largest ever pentagon budget and by cutting $1000000000.00 arms sales his election rival joe biden is promising to change things but his own record suggests otherwise that's kind of more power point. it seems that all narratives are very much alive i'm proud to have the support of the war fighting generals active duty military and top experts who know both how to win and how to avoid the endless wars that we're caught up in we are ending the era of endless wars. in his place is a renewed clear eyed focus on defending america's vital interests 4 years have

passed and not much has changed donald trump has withdrawn some of the u.s. forces from syria and afghanistan but a significant u.s. military presence remains in those countries and many others of course not surprisingly donald trump blames someone else i'm not saying the military is in love with me the soldiers are the top people in the pentagon probably are because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy but despite donald trump's apparent aversion to conflict you certainly loves the toys that go with it we have to call it the super duper missile and i heard the other night 17 times faster 'd than what they have right now then you take the fastest missile we have right donald trump has repeatedly bragged about multi-billion dollar weapons sales agreements to saudi arabia and other allies saying they bring money into the country and provide jobs but now donald trump's rival joe biden

wants to portray himself as the candidate that will finally end forever wars it's long past time we get in the forever war. which of course to us untold blood and treasure but joe biden is just a bit more hypocritical on this issue than donald trump the objective is to compel arac to destroy its illegal weapons of mass destruction and its program to develop airport deuce missiles and more of those with saddam it is dangerous the world would be a better place without him having to do for more so you know you don't you know you think you know you've got your guns on it what is new here i am trying to hold your target for trouble was very successful in this 26000 run by. running on the platform of stopping of ending ridiculous endless wars inventing stupid wars and not going to stupid wars that's

a big problem with presidents often times the rhetoric is very good but the follow up is not equate albany oakmont you've already signed on to joe biden campaign all of them screaming into really about how trump hates the military and he wants us to be defenseless we spend well over a trillion dollars when you put everything military related together including the interest on the debt into the budget that's wasted on bombs and weapons that we don't need that's wasted pushing other countries around that we don't need to be doing we don't need to be making enemies if trump really wanted to put his words into action he would actually reduce the military budget and increase the defense budget which is that money that's spent to actually defend this country the same song and dance every 4 years the american people are tired of us military interventions around the world according to poll after poll but no matter how they vote the u.s. military establishment and its highly influential lobby always seems to win it with
