every day. you meet your needs and the needs of your. correspondent. have to divide. merging together right now it's difficult to tell with the with regards to. 5000 people behind me. but. the move is legal.

review of the week. making progress in his recovery. with the big stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements as well welcome to the weekly on our to international i'm going to. another day. 6 weeks from the contested election. calling on president to resign. earlier describe the tactics the protesters. what they do is they gather in little groups. over the city in

various districts where they live and then they could show all of that into it into a huge rally huge march asses happening barden knowledge crowds merging together right now it's difficult to tell with the with regards to numbers for perhaps 5000 people behind me more may be joining the but the impression so far is that there are fewer people than there were last week at this at this time last week last sunday there were many more demonstrators and a much larger much nevertheless they've got their plan they've got a route through that they're going to take the organizers go to lead them down and police are waiting for that which convoys of police and law enforcement about the city own morning today preparing for this rally preparing for an eventuality tires sharif's block self we've even seen bob wire fences barricades set up a record across the city to keep marches on a specific route it has been on so far those against. and

haven't clashed yet today with police there were sure many demonstrators arrested yesterday perhaps hundreds up to 400 according to opposition and city the shape of a telegram channels and rights groups you may hear a loud music blaring through huge speakers behind me in the square that is a thirty's they've taken to playing loud patriotic music to drown out the chants of the cries from the from the protesters and the last week it it irritates them no ad never the see it has been. protesters gathered in the thousands now demanding the president of the shaker to resign to leave to hand over power of the government insisting on its own their supporters saying that he is the legitimate president of the bun the election and that these these protests these sanctions these protests that these rallies demonstrations are illegal we will clap she cashes lazer as the

demonstrators had for government offices government buildings and residents of the president. another of our headline stories washington is claiming that u.n. sanctions against iran which were in place before the 2015 nuclear deal are no back in force perhaps significantly however the u.n. secretary general has refused to follow up on the u.s. declaration saying it's served by a certainty while germany france and the u.k. have the smiths washington's allies but the legally void the u.s. state department say's a range of penalties are being considered for countries that by allowing the restrictions we need did the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if united nations member states feel to fulfill their obligations to implement these sanctions the united states is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran

does not read the benefits of un prohibited activity france germany and the united kingdom know that the u.s. ceased to be a participant to the way following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the united nations security council. a reminder of the original un sanctions covered your real name in richmond as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted 5 years ago under the nuclear deal over 2 years ago the trump administration withdrew from the pact washington sees it's taking action because an arms and bar go on a run expires in october iran's president hassan rouhani herz the known to the move saying his country will never give in to pressure while the iranian foreign ministry has urged washington to rethink. your material brand of washington on

tehran's message to washington is clear return to the global community return to your obligations stop the rebellion and then the global community will accept you all we've been getting reaction to this story including from within iran we heard from political analyst forward as he thinks the u.s. is isolated in its approach to the country. not going to be any part 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. 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 mongering so you always have to be careful but the united states foreign policy so we have this. conflict.

if we hope that the president is not interested in the dog. scenario if he is behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran to advance is put the boats. that you know the story of the week russian opposition figure alexina volley continues to recover at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an in juice coma but the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisoning as only gotten worse on monday germany said and sweden and france had independently verified that novelli was poisoned by nerve agent from the novacek group a global chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russia has requested that information on the case be shared so far to no avail. with their excuses are completely contrived germany says it can't tell us anything in direct

to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we've been to the o.p.c. w several times and they say talk to berlin 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. russians doctors find no trace of lava chalk or indeed any other poison while the volley was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany to establish exactly what happened. the controversy surrounding the case. 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 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 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 should 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 pretext 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 partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. so that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded 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 or 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 or b c w and the o p c w seeing 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 bag watchdog of becoming politicized player p.c. don't you like so many international concessions it's always great to be subject to political pressure and that's particularly from of course those the funded largely funded that's 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 inconsistences 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 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 a no investigation from russia but in immigration admission of guilt. just something else to show you this video was posted some days ago alexina volleys instrument it shows his team searching his hotel room and told shortly after natalee fell sick wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence and plastic bags

which according to the post were passed to the german authorities one of the water bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of novacek we spoke to the co-creator of the very nerve agent who claims if it was used well they wouldn't have made it to the plane. it would be found he wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that's if it was normal joke and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small and not very toxic doses not virtual provokes pupil contraction in such a way 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 not words to use for this case. he joked that 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 very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the sides creating a dangerous situation for everyone. living the program or know a small group of wealthy nations has already bought up all future supplies of covert 19 vaccines which are currently at the research stage that is according to a report by the oxfam charity it means that only 13 percent of the world's population will initially have access to the drugs lost in the head of oxfam's inequality policy the vision sees pharmaceutical companies are thinking of the huge profits that will be made. it's extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the supply of potential. but more importantly they're doing deals with big corporations which are defending their

intellectual property and their profit meaning that the supply of vaccine be. limited. oxfam ses there won't be enough vaccine doses to meet global demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently undergoing stage 3 clinical trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the world's population will still have to wait until 2022 at least on top of potential drug shortages oxfam say quote the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between prosperous developing countries. well to give an example the u.k. is secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course and other trials go well for bangladesh in stark contrast the figure is only one dose per 9 people last night and ses that prolonged all availability of the facts seen in some countries will

result in many unnecessary deaths. companies like in the us are only sending them back to very rich countries they said again or bury high price somewhere between $16.00 and $35.00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so that's like $70.00 per person so they are barrie clear that they they're doing this to make a profit and they want to make money from this maxine what we're saying is we need a people's backs not a profit vaccinated we need to see. the breaking down of these barriers and we need to see open sharing your banks the technology to maximise the supply. and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of. the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa or brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe

infant to sing until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble many many people would die who do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially ration and by the profits of pharmaceutical corporations. exactly 17 minutes past 10 pm here in moscow still ahead on the program the israeli prime minister is this the country into a 2nd long caused widespread anger even on the beach a story on war after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

let's start the program back in the u.k. with a shortage of code 19 testing in the country has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools pupils and stuff for among those struggling to get checked artie's reports. it wasn't so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school it's much much better for their for their health and mental wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects we've made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all the scientific advice is that schools are safe it's only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one teaching union is warning that education secretary gavin williamson may face legal

action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers are founding the alarm but a chronic lack of testing facilities means that i'd occasionally england make lying to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home school managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isn't possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if it's just a cold or coverage and it's a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we can't get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200

school and college leaders said staff and pupils couldn't get tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirty's the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. teachers that conduct testing center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i don't deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lock down there is an escalating sense that they were end up with

a return to lock down by default it's not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the city's nearly a 3rd of teachers didn't know if they'd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides then every classroom it's left parents to question how are they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves don't seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open and clear will they have to be so violent and what will the farming since be back. you know. i'm self-taught on these as we know it's eccentricity versus thank you stance we've not remind you know they have a duty we need to test if they need it and obviously we've been seeing these which . let's take it to the middle east where israel entered a 2nd national lockdown on friday which is expected to last at least 3 weeks the

anti covert measure came into force just hours before the start of the jewish new year prime minister benjamin netanyahu say's it's a response to the soaring infection rate. i know. we have witnessed another along with the 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. netanyahu is decision has proved popular hundreds rallied against the new locked on measures on the beach in tel aviv on saturday demonstrators chanted slogans accusing netanyahu government of mishandling the covert crisis. the new restrictions include a 10 people limit on indoor gatherings israelis also won't be able to go further than 500 meters from their homes plus school shopping centers will be closed businesses won't be allowed to receive clients either the measures are aimed at

reigning in the deal infection rate which is almost doubled since the start of the month there have been more than a 1000 deaths the total number of cases exceeds 180000 israelis told us how they feel about the new lockdown. it's very frustrating it's killing the economy and many people feel like there is no heart and they don't know what is going on it's probably a good thing because cases are rising that the rule 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 clothes are hands honestly it doesn't affect me at all where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want or do anything i want people i still see don't wear a mask so i really don't know how this is going to help it. roger getting from university in the middle of a pandemic has proven challenging for many students but for
