4:02 pm
a demonstration against president bush and for threat lot of to the north to whom they recognize the legitimacy leader there are of this knowledge that they're waiting for example they have a number of the plans the release of all political prisoners for example as well as less police brutality they demand and then the you know i don't restrain dharm of the law. they're now charging for presently which led her to leave to leave the presidency for a 2nd round of elections they want to change these demonstrators and they have a lot of support a lot of public support all over minsk all over belarus and all matter of. there were also several counter protests in minsk on sunday with people voicing their support for president lukashenko calling for an end to the post-election rest motorists lined up along the city's highways displaying the official red green flag but. this week a high profile member of the opposition was arrested on the border with ukraine
4:03 pm
a monday america last night of a disappeared she couldn't be reached by phone and for a while her whereabouts were unknown on tuesday officials said the activist have been detained for breaking the law while trying to cross into ukraine i got a look at shank again for the details in an interview with russian journalist. best political will is that the only could you give us more detail about marie kolesnikov or where is she. i probably cannot give you much detail due to the fact that i was only told that she and her 2 friends who were drivers or close ones or distant ones they fled to ukraine today and they had documents and everything prepared in advance they showed their passports and on site customs officers border guards let them through further on is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts they were 8 to 9 kilometers and that our border is heavily guarded so we deployed more guards naturally they were stopped they froze the gas pedal she was even thrown out of the car on the move well on the run. so they
4:04 pm
themselves did it yes well there were 3 of them who could have thrown her out border guards of course detained her hands would have been expected i say this is an old border guard and she was sent to the border office and the car went across the ukrainian border up through the ukrainian post and then as far as i'm now informed they were detained and we negotiating with them so that they return them to us. what for they left they relatively speaking of were released from roofs you know they could not be detained they travelled legally with documents but they violated the state border they checked in at the checkpoint the border guards and customs officers did their jobs and the border itself is another 8 or 10 kilometers away and they drove right through this reinforced post and hid in ukraine allegedly this woman sister lives in ukraine allegedly i don't know for sure they told me this today i asked why is it ukrainian not lithuania not hungry as they usually go to someone's relatives the said to live there i cannot claim so i don't know
4:05 pm
everything yet therefore she was detained and we asked the ukrainian border guards to return the others to our country we will investigate what happened. has a different version of events she says she was abducted by officers and taken to the ukraine border to be kicked out of the country to avoid that she tore up the passport the opposition figure is now being held in the us condemned her detention of calling it a violation of domestic and international law. meanwhile if un has passed a bill or even world powers to recognize the opposition candidate in last month's spell of russian election as the rightful president they threw in is the 1st country to recognize phenomena taken off sky as leader of belarus she fled to lithuania after the election she said she posted several videos asking the international community to help force location go out and enable new elections here political analyst rana roth 1st believes that anything any would have taken such a step without the backing of larger powers. it's a signal that is being shy. i don't want to look i shan't go and it shall show that
4:06 pm
there are forces major forces political forces behind because little you know wouldn't take such a measure which is illegitimate according to international law if there was no support by the european union or who knows. and i see this as. not too intelligent step by lithuania it's too blunt because it shows clearly that the situation in. belarus is not only divided one side is also in danger of being taken over by external interests therefore i see it in political terms and not in terms of elections in minsk. germany has accepted moscow's request for legal cooperation on a probe into the alleged poisoning of alexina belly however state prosecutors warn that some information will only be shared with the activists can said germany says
4:07 pm
it still expects russia to be held accountable for the incident. clio cured him of their relations with russia are influenced by the fact that russia is 1st of all an important global actor and also by the fact that in the past and in present times we have had some problematic topics between each other and we should express ourselves carefully this time there was an attempted murder on mr novelli performed with a very specific and internationally banned nerve agent of the novacek group and our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened that's what we're going to finish custody of our authorities are investigating this incident we don't like it when other countries dictate to us when and at what point to start our process we cannot legally call this a criminal case based on the analysis of the journal aboard 3 moreover the board to receive the b.r.d. army just as in the beardy it is probably impossible to initiate
4:08 pm
a criminal case on the basis of tests that were taken in our military hospital this is legally nonsense there are acts of furphy creation our investigative bodies are working they have questions new questions appear we hold that we will receive information from our german colleagues it will help to move forward it appears to germany previously announced it will be sharing of all these test results with the global chemical weapons watchdog or the russia which is a member of the o p c w says nothing's been received as of yet. on the merge from an engineer's kovar this week with german doctors saying he's now responding to speech although the long term effects are still unclear he was airlifted to berlin for treatment last month after falling ill on a flight from siberia russian doctors that initially treated him found no evidence of poisoning meanwhile russia's envoy to the un has responded to the allegations coming from western powers. the school uses them can look at these questions well so hopefully being we hear what statements formal and what measures are being
4:09 pm
mentioned discussed. these leaders leads us through and the wood will reply nickel question legion lost in search situations we've won you trace it erk we've pulled those who used to benefit from this the one that one if you demand explanations will deflect from the people and we'll compare notes one should with the last elite geishas unkillable reviewed by evidence even this is as you see me your reasonable. the german parliament debated the poisoning in a special session on friday and several lawmakers demanded action against moscow as peter all of a report. it was a 'd fiery session on friday afternoon until evening here in berlin in the german bundestag the majority of those who spoke or pointing a finger of blame directly at russia and the russian government for what they say was the poisoning of alexei novelli there were some voices that question the
4:10 pm
official government line not many i have to say but there were some and i mean. if the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection from our security services political murder is part of the putin system. so not only are the russians supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let an avanti fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia it's absurd north stream too was a big issue on the debate as well basically the german politicians splitting into 3 camps there are those that say it needs to be halted immediately and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and
4:11 pm
how this story develops and there are those saying that it's simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have those see the heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany friday night in the north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued this by the war in syria just by the use of a chemical weapon in souls bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate protection security policy and human rights. demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream 2 is in my view a hasty and misguided reaction but it pleases those who have always opposed the project especially the greens well as germany continues to push russia for an
4:12 pm
explanation for what happened to alexei novelli the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but still use of your minute of the german representative to the un said the data is no longer not for bilateral relations between germany and russia but amounts for multilateral proceedings what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say. in the interests of our german colleagues we urge them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights one absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia are also being on the search for more information police in the city of thompson which is where all x. in the valley had been he was flying from talked to moscow before his plane had to make an emergency landing in the city of aunt's quit the lexan of only in extreme distress well placed in tom skipping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane they've
4:13 pm
placements in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with aleck's in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say they've been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr novelli they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany there are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the funny books as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. as we heard senior politicians in berlin have been piling pressure on the government to pull out of the north stream to project over the novelli case we spoke exclusively with the head of the german parliament's energy committee about that aspect. of north stream 2 is not putin's project
4:14 pm
it involves a large number of european companies and is designed to ensure the security if europe's gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the foot it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the german government and of course it will gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game. the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my feet so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against international law and we don't accept it i can see the many people who might not have fully understood the story thinking now i will show them but i think it's completely wrong 1st of all we need to establish what really happened because i don't think germany knows i think we should respond appropriately to the russians request for legal assistance we obviously received such a request but according to the russians it is so focused on says. this is
4:15 pm
a fable of the week headline news all the way an alarming number of state health service doctors in the u.k. say they're ready to quit over the government and link of the pandemic or walking through that someone else stories off the bright. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
4:16 pm
again listen we all. have to be acceptable people corporation before they were rolled out in society because. there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system. and i think governments are under such pressure. to introduce a vaccine that is really. the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability to new growth to. allow again to former british prime ministers tony blair and john major urging the government to rethink its plan to override the bracks a divorce treaty the conservative party leadership is planning to put forward an internal market built by its own admission would break international law. this way
4:17 pm
of negotiating is irresponsible or wrong in principle and dangerous in practice it raises questions that go far beyond the impact on ireland the peace process and negotiations for a trade deal crucial though they are it questions the very integrity of our nation as the world looks on a girls that the u.k. this government's action is shaming itself and embarrassing our nation. withdraw agreement which took the u.k. out of the e.u. contained a clause to prevent a hard border between the north and south of ireland prime minister boris johnson signed off on that agreement last year and it took effect in january but he now wants the power to override it arguing that the agreement would impose barriers between mainland britain and northern ireland that sparked a harsh warning from brussels or just beat them again you need to respect the rule expect the u.k. to all of the commitments the negotiated and signed up to last year especially with regard to citizen strides in northern ireland any attempt by the u.k.
4:18 pm
to undermine the agreement would have serious consequences against this hostile backdrop of talks will continue to ask a tailor assess is their chance of success. however none for the bracks it is either the stability that you know and the moves on part permanently outside number 10 braxton's bracks said don't delay after delay after delay. but there is something reassuring not so comforting that in these tumultuous times one can turn to bricks at him like the good friend that it is but still that in fact nothing's changed 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
4:19 pm
of dissatisfaction in fact promises about how do you carry. 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 more mature from those bureaucrats in brussels. with the u.k.'s red lines it's time do you good to procreate 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
4:20 pm
the irish border but downing street denied this same that it's only proposing might alterations which would provide clarity on such a big us part 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 piece god's great international law in a very specific and limited boy oh wow zones it's just specifically but is all this proves to be the straw that breaks the camel's back on 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 free gas classic bracks set everyone happy a looming deadline to 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 believes the brussels is still refusing to accept the britons actually
4:21 pm
left the block. i think both sides would like some kind of deal however. the e.u. insists on treating britain like an immigrant a good province that we can really be truly independent and the best good we should stoop for to you. and it believes that the. 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 that they should be forced to. run any new regulations pastie you to get their approval refers of course. impossible for the british to accept. all of the u.k.'s found that more than 1000 doctors are ready to quit the national health service over the government's handling of the covert pandemic the president of the country's doctors association says the issues have been building for
4:22 pm
a long time i think what you have 0 is that our n.h.s. colleagues have been feeling and how in broken and short many years now prior to them having to make this is a profession and have suffered through some of them were asked crisis crises in history with intellectual arse including absolutely we're in s.g. in your talks a contract changes to our training that mean doctors need every 6 months really here around hospitals around the a and indeed the pensions taps crisis which has forced many of our most senior an experienced experienced oxys interest hyland all of this was prior to us going into the and national crisis. well more than 700 members responded to the doctor's association surveyed 2 out of 3 of them said they're now more likely to leave the n.h.s. because of poor treatment from the government during the covert response and most of them to leave within 3 years some of them want to move abroad others want to
4:23 pm
take a career break some of the others just want to go and work in private hospitals instead among the main reasons they've been citing for considering quitting were a lack of pay rises and also a lack of protective equipment this year others say they've been gagged from speaking publicly about their concerns but it's also warn that they've had promised benefits revokes and also with the being on the covert front line has had a major impact on my mental health. since we've had in many different demick and we've had these incredible times where people have been dying and struggling we feel separate for our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years let alone. it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about nasa if you were surviving on charitable donations and faith trying to have a stop just because kind of it came in just as you perhaps we deserve back as a profession in your home and i talked to said factor and that was what stage that
4:24 pm
was really me. the government insists its 3 percent pay rise office is good enough prime minister boris johnson has pledged more funding for hospital infrastructure over the difficult winter period that's coming up ahead of the doctors association again says its workers must feel valued. we know that the n.h.s. was very much understaffed and under resourced going into this and i have no doubt that that impacted on our ability to combat this fire s. we have 10000 vacancies forward doctors across the frontlines 100000 vacancies for a front line and it's our stuff including nurses so we were we were already struggling with our workforce now if so many doctors leave and we have to remember this was a survey of just 1700 doctors with 2 thirds of them saying actually they were making plans lisa who knows how how big that number truly is but this this really
4:25 pm
is a worry and i think it is even more of a worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd said may be coming within the u.k. so what we're asking is that the government considers the hard work of those true key workers within the n.h.s. they show them how much they're valued and they really are carted them to retain them in the n.h.s. especially if there is to be a 2nd spike in the u.k. . law enforcement officers are in a critical condition in los angeles county after being shot by an unknown suspect on saturday president trump of call for the shooter to face the death penalty. if they die 1st trial death penalty for the killer only way to stop this anymore that must be here at heart. in this surveillance video a gunman can be seen walking up to a patrol car and opening fire 2 county sheriff's deputies one man and one female were inside that vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and have since
4:26 pm
undergone emergency surgery the suspect remains at large on saturday night a crowd showed up outside the hospital where they are being treated. for. her. according to the county sheriff's office said protesters blocked emergency exits they were later dispersed by police 2 people were detained including a female reporter who was accused of interfering in an arrest. well that incident follows months of unrest over police brutality across the u.s. some of the west riots have been in portland in oregon although a new poll suggests that most people in that state want the chaos to stop conservative talk radio host dave perkins says the vicious attacks against police are like nothing the country seemed to fall. it's a clear is evidence of a complete foundational moral inversion that i have ever seen in all the history of mankind and i never thought i would see it while i was still alive i want you to hear it the level of believe me and joy in the voices of the people shouting that
4:27 pm
they hope those police officers die this is the sense that they are morally right what they are doing as the element of righteousness and and proper punishment almost a law of sorts applying to them in which they are right and we are wrong and because of that they are very happy to be doing what they're doing especially when they get away with it and nobody stops them for any reason they're getting away with a right now what we're seeing i think on a grand scale is an inversion of more reality what's right is wrong and what's wrong is right. ok that is it for this edition of the way next more of the murky world of corporate big money being pitted against national sovereignty 3 of business at any cost it's moments away on the international.
4:28 pm
you just have to fly between 2 teams and as fast as you can. do much of it i was watching the producer with the push for the. most massless nature for some of the latest. the original stories impersonal. force rushes in racing use competition in the extreme to have a full use the specified routes between the lines with the fastest time just beautiful little daughter there's reason to believe that you're going to church every church community for you should be there really for you to.
4:29 pm
out. with up a post some of us thought about. what i've been up the. last time we chased. each one a little carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs. first offense. that they just stepped right. into it 3 will remain all my little mind they believe they have. a life. well i don't know maybe they'll. make or. break free. from that one.
4:30 pm
in europe people are taking to the streets to protest the lack of transparency in treaty negotiations such as the t.t. ip treaty with the us and the seat a treaty with canada. the use of arbitration tribunals a central and totally opaque part of these treaties is a serious threat to the future of democracies.
