so join us for the day. or remain in the shallows. of the rallies held across pallor of protest against the president and a 2nd man needing to hundreds of correspond to. the drug that the president we should go to leave to leave the presidency for a 2nd round of elections they want change. plus in the stories that shape the week germany agrees to work with moscow to probe into the logic poisoning of opposition figure i'll explain involving an issue that's fine it's our job when lawmakers why does not only need such a level of protection from our security services political mud is part of the putin system why would the russian government be so stupid and even less no money flowing out to germany instead of hiding him in russia and los angeles police officers are

at a critical condition after being shot president trump has a right to call for the shooter to face the death penalty if they don't survive. from moscow to the wall this is how it hits national and to me. through the biggest stories of 7 days. let's head straight to belarus where rallies i gather took place throughout sunday calling for president to resign in the capital because that was some brutal clashes between activists and security forces at least 400 arrests were made crowds are keeping up the pressure more than a month off the contested election and the opposition claims it was raked all correspond of more i have reports from men. all he have there are despite the violence this morning from police attempts to detain him and the rest

hundreds of protesters they have gathered together in this antigovernment march marching down the streets of minsk ordinary as a demonstration against president bush. and for rick lot of they recognize the legitimacy. of his role as the way to for example they have a number of demands 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 literature 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. there are also several counter protest segments on sunday with people forcing that support president. i'm quoting from the end to the post-election unrest motorists lined up along the

city's highways displaying the official red and green flag also this week a high profile member of the opposition about a list was arrested on the quarter ukraine on monday where kolesnikov a disappeared and she couldn't be reached by phone and for a while whereabouts were unknown on tuesday officials said the activist had been detained for breaking the law while trying to cross into ukraine alexander lukashenko ok further details in 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 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 for their own is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts they were 8 to 9 kilometers and their 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 welcome the runs. 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 they returned them to us. and what for they left the relatively speaking of were released from ruth 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 in here to 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 the 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 kolesnikov has a different version of a fad she says she was abducted by officers and taken to ukraine. kicked out of the country and to avoid thought she tore up her past what the opposition figure is now being held in the e.u. has condemned her detention putting it a violation of both domestic and international law. meanwhile list the way now has passed a bill powers to recognize the opposition candidate in last month's belorussian election as the rightful president this way as the 1st country to recognize her as the leader of better us she fled away now after the election and since has posted

several years asking the international community to help force her out and enable new elections to political analyst rein of office believes this way now would not have taken. such a step without the backing of larger powers. it's a signal that is being shown to look i think go and it shall show that 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. 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 an equal cooperation on a probe into the allowed to poisoning of alex and of all me however state prosecutors want some information will only be shut with the activists consent a dummy says it still expects russia to be held accountable for the incident. the 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 question to you that 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 the board to receive the b.r.d. army just as in the beer deed 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 furphy cation 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 they would be sharing of these test results with the global chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the says nothing has been received yet and of all mia much from an induced coma this week with german doctors saying he is now responding to speech

although the long term affects all still unclear he was i lifted to berlin for treatment last month off to fooling ill on a flight from siberia to russian doctors that initially troops have found no evidence of poisoning meanwhile watches and voice the un has responded to the allegations coming from western powers. the zulu system cannot but raise questions well some folk being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in what these leaders leads us to only woodward will reply nicol question legion was in search of 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 job in parliament debated the poisoning apple special session on friday and several lawmakers demanded action against moscow as be taught of on our reports it was a 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 official government line not many i have to say but there were some that come in that really 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 no one 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 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 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 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 it's the use of your money the german representative to the u.n. said the date is no longer a matter 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 urged them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights one

absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia of 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 tomsk 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've 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 book as we search

for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. while following up on that senior politicians have been piling pressure on the government to pull out of the north and to project over than of our own case we spoke exclusively with the head of the german parliament's energy committee about this whole issue. north stream 2 is not putin's project 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 affect gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view 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 that many people who might not have fully understood the story thinking now 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 far gone unanswered. law enforcement officers are in a critical condition in los angeles county after being shot by an unknown suspect on saturday president trump has called for the shooter to face the death penalty if they die 1st trial death penalty for the killer only way to stop this any must that must be hit hard. 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 and one female white inside the vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and have since on to go on and much treat the suspect remains at large on saturday night a crowd showed up outside that hospital where that being treated. oh. but. according to the l.a. county sheriff's office protesters blocked much. they were late to discussed by police 2 people were detained including a female reporter who was accused of interfering in and arrest lott incident photos months of on rust over police brutality across the u.s. and some of the wost riots now be an important although a new poll suggests that most people in that state want the chaos to stop conservative talk radio host dave can says the vicious attacks against police are unlike anything the country has seen before. it's a clearest exact 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 they hope those police officers die and this is the sense that they are morally right that what they are doing has 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'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 and 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 pay of a pandemic the president of the contour of doctors association says yes she's helping belting out for a long time no. i think what you have 0 is are and it has colleagues have been feeling and how in broken short many years now prior to them harmed amec this is a profession who have suffered through some of the worst crisis crises in history within our workforce including absolutely ruinous junior doctor contracts changes to our training that mean doctors move every 6 months or a year around hospitals around the way and indeed the pensions tax crisis which has forced many of our most senior an experienced experienced doctor whose interest high and all of this was prior to us going into a national crisis more than 1700 members responded to the doctor's association survey and 2 out of 3 of them said they are now more likely to leave the n.h.s.

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 work for private hospitals so among the main reasons cited for considering quitting why are a lack of pay rises and protective equipment others say they've been gagged from speaking publicly about their concerns and medics also warn they've had promised the benefit revoked and working on the covert front line has also had a major impact on mental health. since we've had it may depend we've had these incredible time with people enjoying struggling we've been 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 well. it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about nash's he were surviving on charitable donations and

family trying to have a stop just because it came in just pretty crap we deserve back as a profession and home and a tax to serve better and that was what state that was really me the government insists its 3 percent pay rise off is good enough and prime minister boys johnson has pledged more funding for hospital infrastructure over the difficult went to parrot that's coming up now the head of the doctors association again says it's walker's 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 it'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 to 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 true key kids 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 day. and finally the french president is being accused of hypocrisy for removing his face mask during a meeting with students despite an all requiring them to be one of the public and to make matters worse emanuel then 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 hand 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 you are 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 frogs on the wall brace for a 2nd wave of the pandemic mosque's sceptics all right sean it depends. 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 all day effective 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 about that as 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 19 that's now being backed up it seems 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's a difference. between the politicians and the scientific i've learned 'd

a 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 playing. ups and totally unreasonable. they were mosques was 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 free they are useless in preventing 19 contamination the jury is perhaps still 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 did usage of face masks 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 effect if this 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 mass they're 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. some people choose to question more i think because of the conflicting statements from politician and sort on the one of health organizations as well as from the scientific community he had to do quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty in the general public and that led to some not only distrust but also a bit off in the journal. and. i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive to work by aggressive behavior toward the face covering well let's leave it that for today from myself and the whole team here and moscow thank you

i'm have a great day. ok .

the imaginary towns are we going underground or what's supposed to be week 2 of juliana songes london trial from the country with one of the highest coronavirus death rates on earth coming up in the show with nato nations panicking over a global economic catastrophe amidst a pandemic and climate crisis will the global economy ever recover of the millions of lost their jobs since the start of the 1st covidien used lockdown could coronavirus mean the end of capitalism and globalization as we know it and politicians really fit for purpose joining me now from new york city is the author of the ages of globalization geography technology and institutions and director of the sustainable development solution network professor jeffrey sachs of the center
