committed a crime against his own nation to collect as much information as possible about that individual and also to create a special database which anyone in free bellerose can use to check whether they potential worker partner or anyone they meet has committed a crime against humanity next to pullen based and public ganda outlet recently dumped the names and personal details of belorussian policeman into the public domain police are not without fault suppression of protests arrests and physical violence towards demonstrators unorganised were brutal and the public was outraged but the opposition feeds on that outrage stoking anger with fake news and hysterical nonsense armed russian special forces and dragon our fellow citizens by the hair is this normal are you willing to tolerate this nectar apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual

guilt of the policeman whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next to and other opposition outlets don't bother proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state after someone saw a photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a construct in his service had ended last year but they aren't acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of st lotty who not scare a former candidate for president during the election in august to this since fled to lithuania she says anyone in uniform who supports her rival current president you can do is fair game law enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who reveal their identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eye. the same people you are supposed to protect and

she doesn't seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going after innocent people she doesn't seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of cyber bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesn't seem to concern her that it isn't just police or law enforcement that are targeted but also rescuers teachers and even journalists. in the distance of a city i have been forced to record this video because of harassment threats and insults towards me and my family as

a result of fosse information on the internet please help me share this so that lies don't spread further and don't harm me and my family. to be. journalists to one of our load constantine but at the bottom for example who has faced a tsunami of death threats at the behest of opposition ija mistrust that of course it is frightening i don't know what's going through their heads someone from the opposition texted me in telegram saying look after yourself or a brick will find your head but at least he's just texting there could be someone else who will actually pick up a brick if they want me to go away then yes i will leave someday but not because of them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his car torched off the activists posted the picture of the vehicle on telegram with government insignia lose behind the pictures the veiled threats the fear campaign dave that anyone who disagrees with

the aim to tens of thousands of better russians don't suffer from sleepless nights doesn't both of them know they'd laugh it off look at the car still to look at behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really are that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and terror cab pains all doing the open. shouldn't any favors the thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent the vigilantes and bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what will they do when they come to power and ordinary belorussians to they didn't sign up for this they don't want the nation divided into leasts and costs the unclean and the blessid opposition and it shows the more radical and hateful the opposition's message the fewer turn up to their protests.

on sunday better us witness further mass unrest 6 weeks on from the contested election thousands gathered in minsk calling on president location could to resign . be well footnote to this opposition leaders for at large taken off has now met e.u. foreign ministers in brussels today ministers say they will review recent developments in belarus taken off because moves already been condemned by both the better russian and the russian governments. europe is standing

ready to bring in new restrictions amid a surge in coronavirus cases both france and spain said daily records and infections this last weekend with a top british scientist warning that his country is at a critical point in the pandemic our europe correspondent china do bensky reports. more than half of the departments here in france are now considered to be red zones which means that there is an active circulation of the 19 virus the country also recorded its highest daily record for the number of positive test cases around 13 and a half 1000 people in 24 hours those were the figures released on saturday now there is a huge rate of testing going on in france more than a 1000000 tests a week and overall the rate of positivity is around 5.7 percent what's a really concerning are the number of hospital admissions which are now going up quite rapidly we saw $227.00 additional admissions on saturday meaning

that there are around $3800.00 people currently in hospital now all of those almost $600.00 are in intensive care now in parts of the country already intensive care units are at capacity so that is what is worrying officials in those parts of france in paris on the eve of the 4th region which is the area around paris it is only at about 20 percent capacity but there are warnings that there will be a high tension particularly in the next 2 to 3 weeks for the past 10 days we've seen a significant daily increase in cases the 2nd wave is here and it's time to deal with it it's not the tidal wave that we experienced march in the intensive care units overall not overloaded but we feel that we're at a tipping point where there has been a huge demand for those covert $900.00 tests so much so that in either france 20 new testing centers are opening or monday and they will give results within 24

hours for priority cases so people who've got symptoms of 19 or perhaps have been referred there by a doctor now in other parts of france there are new restrictions coming into force particularly nice where groups of no more than 10. it will be allowed in areas such as parks beaches or in gardens and those are restrictions that are similar to other cities such as mass a and bordeaux let's take stock now of what's happening across the english channel in the u.k. where the chief medical officer there is warning that the country is at a critical point and is heading in the wrong direction this comes as the u.k. government is now considering apparently a shoot week locked down in england the u.k.'s health secretary has said that nothing is being ruled out it will be increasingly stringent on the people who are not following the rules if everybody follows the rules then we can avoid. national

lock downs well they're already fines of up 210000 pounds for people who defied 1000 regulations such as the requirement to self isolate if they have symptoms and of course the government is encouraging people to snoop on others including on their neighbors if they breach the rules of no more than 6 now matt hancock not only defended that idea of people snooping on their neighbors but said that he would call the police himself if he saw more than 6 adults conjugating to gether so much so that some people have described him now as being a tinpot dictator now some areas of the u.k. are of course already on the mini lockdowns parts of the north of england and also parts of wales but despite that protests against the big 19 restrictions continue over the weekend in london more than a 1000 demonstrators headed out to the street to show that they were unhappy with

those restrictions there were dozens of arrests. back here on the continent there are also news directions coming into force in parts of spain in madrid and the region around the spanish capital some 850000 people now facing restrictive movement as the country is trying to what it says stem the idea of a 2nd wave of coping 1000 from monday people will not be able to leave their

neighborhoods in those regions for all but essential reasons this comes as the world health organization is also concerned about what it describes as a worryingly high rate of transmission of $1000.00 and saying that the situation here in europe it considered still be very serious on a daily basis now as those transmission rates are going up and up governments across europe are having to make some very difficult decisions. world leaders a slamming the u.s. decision to unilaterally reimpose u.n. sanctions on iran lifted as part of the 2050 nuclear deal so grew state my palm pero cited concerns over iran's alleged weapons programs are being that the u.n. agreement was silly. on the war that needs to be done and they have no option no alternative to what we've done. to this silly nuclear deal. well the message coming out of washington seems to be there will be sanctions in all not

with us or against us and then face the prospect of being sanctioned in turn will these measures that the united states is looking to bring back in involved what they target on iranian your rainy and enrichment and the reintroduction of a conventional weapons embargo on the islamic state now 5 years ago under barack obama when he was then president these were removed as part of the g.c. p o a the joint comprehensive plan of action more commonly known as the iran nuclear deal in may of 2018 though donald trump unilaterally pulled the us out of that deal now this is a multifaceted international agreement it involves a rob as you would imagine also china russia germany france the u.k. and the overall blessing of the european union in brussels now what we've heard from the likes of germany and france is that they're far from happy with the u.s.

deciding to put the sanctions back in place you know laterally and france and germany are the only ones the fact is that the u.n. security council has not taken any action that would lead to a restoration of sanctions against iran everything washington is doing is just a theater performance aimed at subordinate in the security council to pressure poor a-c. entering the organization into 2 of the united states france germany and the united kingdom noted that the u.s. ceased to be a participant of the a full in 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 well the the arabians are saying that this is tantamount to bullying from the united states but because of the the power of the sway the final. until clout that washington has on the international markets it can get away with this however

tehran is also warning that by doing so against the wishes of the u.s. as international partners it risks cutting itself off or maybe not 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 they haven't noticed that the same principles will work for them to pay homage to 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 or talk of embargo sanctions on your radio enrichment and weapon sales a very high faluting matters of state but the sanctions do trickle down and have

a overall effect on the everyday lives of a rainy and r.t. spoke to some on the streets of tehran to find out what they think. and i think shrimpers in a weak position he's failed in his foreign policy iran should keep up the negotiations is true that the u.s. is left to talks but we shouldn't leave that would just help them impose more sanctions and form a coalition against us. it doesn't matter if the us reinstates the sanctions on us or not we are already under sanctions what difference does it make them. think sions not only on iran but on any country or an act of cruelty against the people we've seen the economic damage in iran it affects everything and it's been especially bad for young people as a young person i want to say that the think sions are an injustice that's the view from tehran but donald trump has both eyes firmly on the u.s. election in november and he'll be thinking this will play well with the electorate chosen to be to. of iran while not having to resort to military action.

the debate around the replacement of the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg is heating up in the u.s. as donald trump is determined to announce his nomination as early as this week democrats in turn are demanding that no nominees put forward until the presidential election house speaker nancy pelosi of facts not even really early impeaching trying to stop him from advancing what is a lifetime appointment. some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that you win this the house could move to impeach we're not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow and have quit ruth bader ginsburg died of cancer at the age of 87 on friday she served as an associate justice for 27 years i was a renowned defender of gender equality and women's rights is not only triggered a nationwide reaction with people holding vigils to pay last respects to the

justice but shaken the u.s. political system as donald cool to explains. riots the coronavirus pandemic fierce political campaigning the u.s. has already seen its share of divisions but there's more on the way the death of supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has just turned the country's highest judiciary body into america's latest political battleground what. does not understand is fight has just begun and that's what we're going to do we're going to through the series. was. i. i i i. feel that see this is. so what's the big deal while the supreme court's always had the last word on disputes between state and federal governments and controversial laws same sex

marriage obamacare the trump travel ban all these policies needed the court seal of approval back in 2000 the nation's highest justices even determines the presidential election outcome. theoretically the supreme court is supposed to be an unbiased check on the country's political system but it's pretty clear the partisanship of 2 party politics almost always influences appointments there can only be 9 judges inevitably each one of them i. they're liberal or conservative and critical cases are often decided by that one odd vote at the same time they're all appointed by the president for life after being okayed by the senate and the process often has its share of political drama take the latest case conservative judge brett kavanaugh who was given the job by trump and 2018 a woman is the president's u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh assaulted her an additional anonymous allegation of physical assault against brad having a new sexual misconduct allegations president trump coming to his defense they're

going to be dealing with credibility issues around judge cavanagh this was a candidate that was a bad choice even before the allegations came out and they're still really over the brett kavanaugh nomination i didn't trump has appointed more federal judges to premature judges then anyone almost in history but this is going to be the most rancorous the most i mean you're going to see her and anger president said he wants to appoint a woman good luck for her good good luck for her her family what they're going to put her through i can only imagine. but with ginsburg seat open we're seeing the exact same situation as when antonin scalia died back in 2016 but the sides are reversed eventually trump was able to appoint a conservative to fill scalia's position but that was only after a long struggle between former president barack obama and the republican dominated

senate now the democrats are preparing for payback 4 and a half years ago republicans invented the principle that the senate shouldn't feel an open seat on the supreme court before a new president was sworn in a basic principle of the law is that we apply rules with consistency and not based on what's convenient or advantages and the moment. mitch mcconnell and his henchmen. believes that they can ram through a supreme court justice only 45 days from the election voters should pick the president the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider before ginsberg's death conservatives already had a 54 majority over liberals in the supreme court on the one hand trump's got a small window to form a conservative supermajority of 6 to 3 with the senate's help on the other the

democrats are already trying to stall the appointment until the presidential election no matter which presidential candidate wins be a trump or biden there's no doubt this decision will seriously influence the amount of power they come to office with when you consider that you have lifetime tenure the supreme court justices appointed for life the impact that they have is average so lewdly in comprehensible on every particular issue that you can imagine because remember the way our system works is we have 3 different we have 3 different levels of governance the executive is a president the legislative is congress but the judiciary in each of them share power but what a supreme court judge justice excuse me can do is is inexplicable

in comprehensible so yes it truly matters. all of this of next talks are ongoing between 2 of america's biggest companies and take talk over a stake in the chinese own video sharing giant president trump back the deal with i.t. major oracle and retailer wal-mart adding it will protect american users. i have given the deal my blessing if they get it done that's great if they don't that's ok to do but it's a great deal for america. very. very very. i approve the deal and guys as well that agreement expected to create a you airspace to entity called take top global it would still be majority owned by china's by its 20 percent will go to oracle and wal-mart but the chief executive security expert and most directors would be from the us contrary to expectations tick-tock won't be transferring its main algorithm or key technology to america for

months of uncertainty and political attacks both sides seem upbeat despite it all. we are pleased that the proposals were ticked up oracle and wal-mart will resolve the security concerns of the u.s. administration and certain questions around tick tocks future in the u.s. we are pleased that the proposal by oracle and wal-mart will resolve the security concerns of the u.s. administration and settle questions around tick tocks future in the u.s. . or the deal still needs approval from regulators in beijing politics professor joseph gregory mahoney told a strong created this crisis over the situation to get what he wanted. this may be a good thing for tech talk it may be a way for tech talk not only to survive this danger but to to bridge its business into an even larger goal of global arena i think that it's a new form of business something that we haven't seen in this country since the

banana republic years john foster dulles but on the other hand i think it's i think it's the type of logic that we would see from the type of businessman that trump is he tends to play friedman ship both in foreign policy and business dealings wherever he thinks he has a strength he tries to leverage that create a crisis and then went on for some you know i think that's what we're seeing here but i don't think that he got everything that he wanted in this deal and i don't think that this strategy will work broadly whether foreign policy or u.s. commercial relations with companies in other countries affect i think that it's sense a very dangerous signal to countries around the world that that you maybe next. follow up so many other stories summer is to get out of a social media for now the reporting of world news sent here in moscow kevin always sounding off from them all for me just from.
