shooter to face the death penalty if they take the 5. welcome to the weekly here 1 on our chance national where we take a look at the stories that grabbed headlines over the past couple of days and the latest news as well well let's start with belarus where rallies again took place throughout sunday morning for president. to resign in the capital minutes because there was some brutal clashes between activists and security forces at least $400.00 arrests were made crowds are keeping up the pressure more than a month off to the contested election which the opposition claims was rigged our correspondent mark 1000 have reports from many. well here they are despite the violence this morning from police attempts to detain and the rich hundreds of proto . they have gathered together in this anti government march marching down the

streets of minsk ordinary as a demonstration against president bush and for 3 plotted to the north they recognize the legitimate leader. of the way to for example they have a number of the funds the release of political prisoners for example as well as less police brutality they demoed. the unrestrained arm of the law. they're now trying to present little sugar 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 of them in school over belarus. that well also several counter protests in minutes come sunday with people forcing test support for president lukashenko i'm calling for an end to this post-election on rast motorists lined up along the city's highways displaying the official red and green flag this

week a high profile member of the opposition imbalance was arrested on the 4th with a crane on monday maria kolesnik of the disappeared she couldn't be reached by phone and for a while whereabouts were unknown on tuesday the official said the activists had been detained for breaking the law while trying to cross the southern border into ukraine alexander lukashenko gave father details an interview with russian journalist. was that only could you give us more detail about marie kolesnikov and 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 are drivers are 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 for their own is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts they were. 9 kilometers and then 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 on the run. so they 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 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. and 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 ask why is it ukrainian not lithuania not hungry as they usually go to someone's relatives a said to live there i cannot claim so i don't know 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 but my request michael 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 12 point that she tore up. the opposition figure is now being held in the e.u. has condemned her detention calling it a violation of both domestic and international law. meanwhile lithuania has passed a bill powers to recognize the opposition candidate and last month by the russian election as the rightful president this way here is the 1st country to recognize the ticket off sky as loot of belarus she fled to when you're off to the elect. she

has since posted several videos asking the international community to help. out and enable new elections to a political analyst rainer office believes this way you would not have taken such a step without the backing of knowledge or powers. it's a signal that is being shown to look i think and it shall show that force is 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. 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. big story germany has accepted moscow's request for an equal cooperation on a probe into the alleged poisoning of alex in a volley however state prosecutors warn that some information was only be shared with the activists consent and germany says it still expects russia to be held accountable for the incident. cured him of their relations with russia or 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 age. of the novacek group and our

demand is that russia urgently explain what happened that's what we're going to see you do 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 german laborde 3 moreover they were bored to receive the b.r.d. army just as in the beer deal it is probably impossible to initiate a criminal case on the basis of tests that were taken in our military hospital this is legally nonsense there are acts of for if occasion 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 to germany previously announced it would be sharing of all those test results with the global chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of their of course says nothing has been received at novell nia much from an induced coma this week with job and doctor saying he is now responding to speech

although the long term effects are still on clear he was at lifted to berlin for treatment last month after falling ill on a flight from siberia the russian doctors that initial tweets have found no evidence of poisoning meanwhile russia's unvoiced un has responded to the allegations coming from western powers this school incident can raise questions well so hopefully being we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed. this lead us leads us to an unavoidable reply nicol question legions borst in such situations we want you to trash it the queen post who is to benefit from this the one that won it if you demand explain the issues with defects on the table and we'll compare notes one should with the rest ily geishas and collaborated by evidence even this is as you see the york

reasonable well joe in parliament debated the poisoning out a special session on friday and several lawmakers demanded action against moscow as peter all of us now reports. it was a fiery session on friday afternoon and early evening here in berlin in the german bund the stock 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 folly there were some voices that questioned the official government line not many i have to say but there were some and. 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 us security services political murder is part of the putin system. i'm not so not only are the russian supposed to

have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his t. 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 during 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 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 heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany on friday night in the bundestag north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued despite the war in syria despite 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 explanation for what happened to alexei in the valley the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but it's the use of your money you put on top of the german representative to the un said the data is no longer a matter for bilateral relations between germany and russia but a matter 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 urged them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should

lights when absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia are of also being on the search for more information police in the city of thompson which is where alexina valley had been he was flying from talked to moscow before his plane had to make an emergency landing in the city of school with 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 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 but as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. more of the week's headline news on the way and the nominee number of state health saw the stop does in the case say about ready to quit over the government's handling of the pandemic that story and much more when we come back. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. you want to listen real to if you. probably have is that

vaccines have to be acceptable people point to ration before they are broke down in a society because more acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system. and i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a bank she practically. the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability somehow to new growth or to. welcome back to door in force when offices are in a critical condition in los angeles county after being shot by an unknown suspect

on saturday president trump has called for the shootout to face the death penalty. if the 1st trial death penalty for the killer only way to stop this anymore that must be huge 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 male on one female inside that vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and have since undergone a much. the suspect still remains at large on saturday night a crowd showed up outside the hospital where that being treated. oh. according to the l.a. county sheriff's office protesters blocked a much. they were later dispersed by police 2 people were detained including a few most reporter who is accused of interfering in an arrest well that incident

of course follows months of on rust over police brutality across the u.s. and some of the was trials have been in portland oregon although a new poll now suggests most people in the state want the chaos to stop conservative talk radio host dave considers the vicious attacks against police are unlike anything the country has ever seen before. it's a clearest evidence of a complete foundational moral inversion that i've 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 they hope those police officers die this is the sense that they are morally right that what they are doing has the element of right just nurse and and proper punishment almost a law of sorts applying to them in which they are right and we're wrong and because

of that they're 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. a poll in the u.k. has found that more than a 1000 doctors are ready to quit the national health service over the government's handling of the current the pandemic the president of the country's doc does association says the issues have been building for a long time i think you have serum and it's that are and it has clearly been feeding and how in broken short many years now crying to them home to make this is a profession has suffered through some crisis crises in history was intellectual us including absolutely we're in s.g. new jobs and contracts changes to our training that mean doctors need every 6

months so we hear around hospitals around the way and indeed the pensions tax crisis which has forced many of all my senior in experience that experience to these interest high end orders this was prior to us going into a national crisis. now more than $1700.00 members responded to the doctor's association survey 2 out of 3 said they're now more likely to need an h. us because of poor treatment from the government during the covert response most of those planned to quit within the next 3 years now some want to move abroad while others will take a career break for private hospitals so among the main reasons cited for considering quitting while a lot of pay rises and protective equipment others say they've been guy exam speaking publicly about back medics also when they've had promised benefits revoked i'm working on the cobra frontline has also had a major impact on mental health. since we've had him

a different piece incredible time with the dying struggling we've been separate from our families we just want some recognition we actually did and what we deserve over the last 1015 years. it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about our national surviving on charitable donations and i have to stop just because kerry came and. we deserve a profession in the home and. that was. really me the government insists its 3 percent pay rise office is good enough and prime minister boris johnson has pledged more funding for hospital infrastructure over the difficult winter parrot that's coming up the head of the dog's 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 pandemic and i have

no doubt that that impacted on our ability to combat this fire s. we had 10000 vacancies for 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 is a worry and i think it is even more of a worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd set. may be coming within the u.k. so what we're asking is that the government considers the hard work of those troops within the n.h.s. that 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.

. finally for this hour the french president is being accused of hypocrisy for removing his face mask during a meeting with students despite of course and all requiring them to be worn in public and to make matters worse emanuel mcchrystal began to cough. the president coughs outside of his mom's constrictors out his hand to take and

return a glass of water straight after no jail no head washing well can we hope for macro and can't stand the fabric masks which is sparingly distributed to teaches however he only spoke for 5 minutes with his what it teaches have to say who forced to speak with one sometimes for 8 hours per day that the president is laughing at the world what are we expecting that the video to be broadcasted schools will be saying that should not be done but just as fronts on the wall to brace for a 2nd wave of the pandemic mosque skeptics are rallying a solid d. bensky reports. masks are just a look around on the streets of paris everywhere people are following the rules but what if you're one of those people who has questioned the whole idea of wearing a mask affective do they prevent the transmission of 19 and what if you're one of

those people who doesn't just question this in private but has actually gone to a protest party that has attack on germany's democracy protesters from a demo against the country's coronavirus restrictions try to storm the german parliament. this is how the mainstream media. and she locked down protesters has spent the afternoon terrorizing palais city will be made of people. people who think the coronavirus does not exist hundreds of vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists put their faith in science instead of conspiracy theories if they want to avoid getting covert one team that's not being backed up it seems by a study conducted via facebook carried out by those who enjoy his foundation it found that the typical anti mascot here in france is a woman in her fifties she's educated and supports the yellow vests she'd

refused to have a corona virus vaccine if it was available and she believes in conspiracy theories probably has been the most politicized. in the control and i think it's because there is a difference. between the politicians and the scientific. 'd lot of confusion among the general public but when it comes to mosques dig a bit deeper and you find that 3 of the 4 main reasons that respondents gave to objecting to wearing them were not by. ups and totally unreasonable. they were mosques course breathing difficulties well while of course you can breathe while wearing a mask some people have complained that when it's hot out all they've stepped up the pace wearing a mask isn't the most comfortable or experiences to they are a hive of bacteria well yes there is bacteria all around us and that's why it's

recommended to wash masks regularly or change them 3 they are useless in preventing 19 contamination the jury is perhaps to live on this one i say that as there is still no consensus that a governmental level here in europe as to whether or not face masks are an essential to in combat in the spread of 19 so while in france and germany for example why do usage of facemasks has been recommended or made obligatory in the netherlands there was a short trial of mask wearing in busy cities was carried out that seems ended while the dutch study their effectiveness sweeping of course went totally against the grain of the country's top epidemiologist threw his weight behind the new mask policy saying this is very dangerous to believe face masks would change the game

when it comes to. even the w h which made a u. turn and is now recommending face masks says this we still don't know how much protective value fabric must have for the wearer that's why when you wear a mask you're protecting others and when others where the master protecting you we're still in the midst of the pandemic in the past several months the medical the scientific advice has been a constant merry go round so is it so unreasonable. that some people choose to question more i think because of the conflict of conflicting statements from politician and from the one health organization as well as from the scientific community he had to do quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty is in the journal public and that led to some

not only distrust but also a bit of flaring up in the journal. and that has i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive to work by aggressive behavior toward the face covering. so for me for now if you want more on any of the stories on much much more head on over to our to dot com which our team updates allows for a day and have a good sunday. thanks . world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
