therefore being denied access. because of. something happening right now the u.s. says it will reimpose sanctions previously lifted but a unilateral move that roiled washington. welcomes the weekly here not international just turned 11 the morning here now the roundup of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you so let me recap than if you will starting with this russian opposition figure alexina valmy is on the path to recovery today at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an engineer's coma last week he's since revealed his intention to return to russia as soon as he fighting fit again meantime the diplomatic row between moscow and berlin over his. ledge poisoning is
4:02 am
only got worse on monday germany said labs in sweden and france and independently verify that the volley was poisoned by a nerve agent of the group the global chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russia's prosecutor general demanded that information be shared then but so far to no avail with lawyer to look very excuses are completely contrived germany says it can't tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we've been to the obesity w several times and they say talked about when we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation rusher incest sits doctors found no trace of novacek or any other poison one of our lives in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed to its willingness to cooperate with germany in order to try to establish exactly what
4:03 am
happened he goes down off looks at the controversy surrounding the case so far. alexina volley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy of die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering
4:04 am
its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germany's court moscow current aid the investigation if it's kept in the dark on emerging evidence to the press with enough when it all all this is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened i've been dismissed and a far fetched pretexts that's hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german army's capabilities too much but only to russia's eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations member states of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian law enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted
4:05 am
partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. so that france and sweden would automatically confirm some founded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o.p.c. w. and that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the o.p.c. w and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesn't really help o.p.c. w.'s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bad watchdog of becoming politicized by your p.c. don't you like so many international commands actions it's always good to be subject to political pressure and that's critically from of course those to fund it
4:06 am
largely funded much largely the western powers we've seen with the p.c. to abuse role in investigating alleged chemical attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistent cities and problems that will not rise in independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the scruple case where. it was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e.u. is shutting out russia's investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants no investigation from russia but an immigration
4:07 am
admission of guilt. then in a post foreign of ali's instagram account a video showing his team searching his hotel room in tomsk shortly after news broke in that he'd fallen severely ill where exergy gloves they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the posts but then passed on to the german authorities one of the water bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of nava chalk but one of the co-creators of that very nerve agent leonid rink spoke direct to us and claims that if it was used in the volley would never of even made it to the plane he was travelling on. it would be found he wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller not very toxic doses provokes pupil contraction in such a way
4:08 am
a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure he wouldn't have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we can't see any of the symptoms poisoning and novacek a not worse to use for this case. richard that's right they definitely would get something they had just simple surgical gloves and that's it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the science creating a dangerous situation for everyone. and better a sign to government protesters have again been venting their anger over august disputed election the country's been rocked by a 6 weeks of opposition demonstrations now on saturday protesters mostly female gathered in the capital minsk demanding president looking step down thora to say
4:09 am
over $400.00 were arrested meantime opposition candidates for atlantic and is expected to take part in a meeting with foreign ministers in brussels on monday the moves being condemned by both the better ocean and russian governments a senior correspondent of reports next from minsk. on saturday and throughout this week there have been far fewer people attending again fewer demonstrations the daintiest protests that we've seen rocking belo us over the past month or so and police perhaps feeling emboldened by the lack of added dees have certainly made themselves see then known that the many arrests dozens upon dozens of protesters activists arrested detained they could. the police station and holding cells but it is sunday that is the big day of protests here in belarus where we can expect to see thousands upon thousands of people gathered together rallies and march down the
4:10 am
streets of minsk against the government it is the traditional day of protests we will see how the numbers have would you know what sort of numbers turn out for that but while they have been they may have been a little effectivity few a few people coming out of the protest soufan this week there has been an uptick on the geopolitical fraud on the diplomatic front with the with an escalation in the relations between the european union and belarus. been invited to attend a meeting of the foreign ministers of european states which is which is you know certainly certainly shows how high a stock has risen in the ranks of in the minds of european politicians or indeed depending on who you ask how high they have elevated stock better as this come out here and said that you know the mosques all mosques around the european union has shown its true colors that they have meddling that this is an attack on the sovereignty of belarus and the independence of belarus and russia has come out and
4:11 am
said that the this meeting represents a u.-turn europe's but previously stated goals of staying out of it and respecting the the independence and the will of the better russian people. we consider such contact if it takes place as more evidence of the european union's departure from statements that they made and their regard in the absence of geopolitics in the situation with. with regards to this diplomatic escalation that i mentioned the european parliament came out and voted on a non-binding resolutions of 2 more of a recommendation but a very harsh one calling on the heads of states of the european union that the leaders of the european union not to recognize president you can shake up as the legitimate leader of belarus once his official term is up moreover they are calling for sanctions for pressure on bellerose and russia for example has come out and said that this is counterproductive that this flies in the face of what the european union has called for that called on previously which is deescalation which
4:12 am
is dialogue and which is to to leave belarus to decide for itself on what path and what course to proceed and russia said says that if these if these harsh sanctions are put in place that they will be called sequences. our position in relation to sanction instruments used by the european union is well known it is illegitimate from the point of view of international law and is an unacceptable interference internal affairs and the context of the situation and valorous it contradicts the call of restore instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which are presented have spoke so much about the rocklahoma attempts to rock the boat and brussels should not be surprised that retaliated to remeasure will follow previously the president of the european council had come out and openly said that the protests the belarus are not about geopolitics and that the european union firmly stabs behind the better russian
4:13 am
people who have the right to decide their own future but since their opinions have apparently changed in the chambers of the european union and the european union has taken a much more active role in deciding who has leads belarus and making sure that the european union gets a 3rd say in how things are done here on out also this week to alexander look at shankar flew to russia to meet his counterpart vladimir putin the presidents discuss the future of minsk moscow toys putin stressed the bellary should handle the crisis through dialogue with its citizens and without any external pressure moscow also announced $1500000000.00 in loans from minsk. ok something happening right now the u.s. is unilaterally reimpose sanctions on iran relating to its nuclear enrichment activities washington's allies have been quick to react on the legality of the move
4:14 am
secretary of state my palm post says a range of penalties are being considered for those who violate the restrictions. we need cheated the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if you when member states failed to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the united states is prepared to use or domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of un prohibited to vittie there would appear to be uncertainty whether or not the process was indeed initiated and concomitantly whether or not the sanctions terminations continue in effect does not for the secretary general to proceed as if no such uncertainty exists the original sanctions covered uranium enrichment as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted under the 2050 nuclear deal but in 2018 the trumpet ministration unilaterally withdrew from that washington says it's taking action now as an arms
4:15 am
embargo on iran expires in october paving the way there for 4 to iran to buy conventional weapons from russia and china if it wants to. or maybe not but the international community must decide by itself whether to stand up to the bullying unfortunately due to the u.s. influence on financial markets they could apply pressure with financial sanctions of course those applying the sanctions say we did that even though we know they're illegal since they're powerful but they haven't noticed that the same principles will work for them too and they are spoke to foad izadi he's a professor of political communication at the university of tehran he told me the u.s. is isolated in its maximum pressure strategy against iran. not. partners that's going to accept that premise. the u.s. is isolated in the unusual manner and what's going to happen is that the u.s.
4:16 am
is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept legal interpretation of the un resolution 2231 and few countries are going to accept that the u.s. has a history of water mongering so you always have to be careful but the united states foreign policy so we have this. conflict escalating if we hope that president is not interested in their back the dog. scenario if used behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran advances for the boat or the news of the week ahead to be recapped after the break up next that israel and has a 2nd national looked at this from yesterday sparking defiant protests on the television bache aloft say there's worse places to have
4:17 am
4:18 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own spear in dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down in. again in more the big stories of the week formula one back term than on handing lewis hamilton a penalty over his anti racism campaign at the end of last weekend's tuscan grand prix the british driver took to the podium wearing a t. shirt against police brutality it raised questions in turn over making political statements through sport and whether hamilton's latest move broke motor sport rules
4:19 am
milton's t. shirt said arrest the cops who killed briona taylor referencing the 26 year old black medical worker who was shot dead on a no knock warrant back in march in the us state of kentucky regarding the case authorities say they returned fire after one officer was shot and wounded but it triggered a wave of public anger then with calls for vose responsible to face justice as it stands so far no criminal charges have been filed against them calling out racism has gripped the sporting world on its athletes in 2020 but some fans it seems are growing frustrated over it case in point this last week america's football league the n.f.l. kicked off its new season several teams took a knee and locked arms during the national anthem move in support of the black lives matter movement but some players even stayed in their locker rooms until the anthem would finish too and that left some fans dismayed.
4:20 am
n.f.l. players all over the league annealing during the national anthem we simply aren't allowed to enjoy sports anymore without politics being shoved down our throats i tried against my better judgment to watch the n.f.l. today i saw a kneeling fist in the year players kneel in the middle of the field instead of defending a kickoff and were subjected to the black national anthem i'm done fire them all and let's see what jobs they find to contribute to society versus throwing the ball around and making millions for it meanwhile not doing a damn thing besides needing to or not a great national anthem social jacksboro telescope more social activist lee just discussed whether sport can remain a political end of the. but times in the world where the acuteness of injustice the harshness of injustice and the unfairness of injustice seach through into sport rightly should do so when those injustices can find no legitimate response from
4:21 am
democratic nations people differ around the world in what means good or bad way if we get scared of carte blanche to everyone then we are in troubled waters if someone like israel folau comes along and starts expressing homophobic views which are clearly not consistent with that of the rest of the wall of sports i don't want that i want them to remain calm grew and with the ideals the guiding ideas of governing organizations in sport which to me seem as if they've all got the heart in the right place that you know this idea that we're living in a meritocracy that the world is a meritocracy that the sporting burridge bodies are entirely meritocratic. that would be good i don't know what you'll get i would i would it i would agree that you could take up position but in
4:22 am
a world where the vast moral consensus of the tire ety of humanity he's against racism and recognizes racism and he's perfectly just what happens when there is an individual competitor in some sport who doesn't agree with a moral consensus who does hold racist or homophobic or sexist views are you going to let him or her express those views it a free society that you have free to say what they like if they do express them you're unhappy really that there well detail will face the moral condemnation of the past majority of people a new day to making a career decision range when he should do 6 or all it's all so you can see action and so he looks you know we don't you're not to notice. this is not in a way really being it just organization let's get away from the hypothetical thing that let's take the case of israel folau 1 who expressed common phobia views are you going to say you're comfortable with an individual exercising his freedom of
4:23 am
speech to pronounce these kind of views and let's face it the guy he's influential he's got a certain type of orthorexic that's conferred on him by his participation in sport are you going to say that we just wait for the world to condemn him i think that the organization was quite right to step in and say we don't want you saying this kind of stuff this focus on the exceptional and the moral equivalence between racism which is a global human consensus and these are the issues you know doesn't doesn't stand up to muster so school will always play a part in politics and politics in school as a broader principle i'm glad formula one stepped in because at a later stage another driver might say something completely different. because the news a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over half of the envisioned future supply of cope with 19 vaccines according to
4:24 am
a report by the oxfam charity it means only 13 percent of the world's population will initially have access to the sought after drug lorson the head of oxfam's inequality policy division then says this is a consequence of pharmaceutical companies seeking to maximize profits. it's extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the supply of a potential breakthrough but more importantly they're doing deals with big promising corporation which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning the supply of banks and the fish are limited. so oxfam says there won't be enough vaccines to go around to meet global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world of seal the deal currently undergo in the final stages of clinical trials however catch is even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charges extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the
4:25 am
world's population will have to wait until at least 2022 on top of potential drug shortages oxfam further says that the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between prosperous and developing countries most notably look at these stats for example the u.k. is managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending on the course of the trials go while for bangladesh a stark contrast figure is only one dose point 9 people lost again says the prolonged and availability of the vaccine in some countries will result in many unnecessary deaths. companies like madonna in the u.s. are only selling their backs into very rich countries they're setting it up barry high priced somewhere between $16.00 and 35 dollars dollars and you have to have 2 doses so that's like $70.00 per person so they are very clear that they they're doing things to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what we're saying is we need
4:26 am
a people's backs not a profit back saying we need to see. the breaking down of the patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your banks in technology to maximise its applause and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of the delay in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe in saying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would dog i do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially ration and private profits of pharmaceutical play. the time and as nations find us to try to secure

a vaccine israel's and to the 2nd national law friday it's expected to last at least 3 weeks the anti coded measure came into force just hours before the start of the jewish new year prime minister binyamin netanyahu says it is a response to the soaring infection rate. and i whom we have witnessed another alarming increase in deaths and the continued increase in the number of critically ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. now decisions deeply unpopular with an already pandemic wary public hundreds rallied against the new locked measures on the beaches of eve on saturdays and say the worst places to hold you and your demonstration i guess demonstrators were dancing and chanting slogans accusing the government of mishandling the code 19 process new structures including 10 people limit all indoor gatherings israelis also won't be able to go further than 500 meters from the homes plus schools and shopping centers will be closed and businesses won't be allowed to
4:28 am
receive clients these measures are aimed at reigning in the daily infection rate which is scary when you look at it there it's almost doubled since the start of the month the total number of cases exceeds 180000 and counting with more than a 1000 deaths all that said though israelis told us they feel frustrated about the new lockdown. it's very frustrating it's killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they don't know what is going on it's probably a good thing because cases are rising that the rule of so that's what we're going to do but i don't think it's going to help i expect that infections will go down but they'll go right back up as soon as the closer and honestly it doesn't affect me at all where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want i do anything i want people i still say don't wear a mask so i really don't understand how this is going to help anything thanks for watching this program
