are high here there's there's there's a lot of anger among the protesters many of them refused to leave and now they're being chased by police again they just fired would take out an ad to protest this earlier today of course what sparked it all was the surprise no gration of the better russian president. there was no great for a 6 presidential cub it came as a complete surprise there was a new warning this new hint that it would happen people only learned that he had been inaugurated as he was giving this speech as he as he was giving a speech thanking his supporters saying that the the revolution in ukraine colored revolution in ukraine had failed and that better russians by electing him as their president again that protected their freedoms their independence and peace their year. dear fellow by the russians on the solemn day the president swears a new move to the state and the people with. feeling with

a lot of pride for both the russians who have passed with the honor the test of strength in their beliefs the inauguration is the day of victory convincing significant we didn't just elect the president of the contrary we defended our values our peace our sovereignty and our independence and we still have a lot to do. there's been a very strong reaction both here in belarus many of the protesters wearing crowds people crowds to. you know gratian of president many people very unhappy that this has happened they had called for and wanted fresh elections including the opposition which formed the council of council to oversee a new elections and to make sure that president who is deposed many of their members ended up leaving belarus for europe the european union which has taken a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we had senior officials in the in the european union say that they aren't meddling or

interfering what they're doing can't be construed as foreign interference into the domestic affairs of better us rather that they're doing the right thing by supporting the opposition supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling this meddling but we've also seen condemnation today especially several european countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they won't recognize the inauguration of president you can shake of that it was a farce and that he's no longer legitimate president. there was new freedom a critic president valorise said there is no democratic legitimacy for the ceremony that took place 20. such a farce forged elections foods integration the former president bill or was does not become less forma quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that this entails. inaugurated today he

has no legitimacy to lead his country he's responsible for presidential elections in belarus free and fair slovakia stands with citizens of bill or. in fact look just retired that means his orders to state power structures are no longer legitimate and cannot be executive i said client housecat and the only leader elected by the belorussian people and our task now is to build a new belarus together i mentioned. several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they would have blood in the way they were running away they were being charged by police with battens the police had warned them that they should discuss this this was an unsanctioned protest but many of the demonstrators stood move they chanted for president to leave the police begad deploying want to get into

trucks spraying water at protesters and now most of them have fled there's the square behind me is empty for all but police earlier this week the european union failed to agree on sanctions against a list of 40 below russian officials accused of election fraud and violence against protesters journalist in eastern europe specialist martin summers believes the western pressure will continue and could push closer to russia. simpson's only solution can be probably be agreed at some point the good it won't change his position a lot of truly do is push him more towards. the russian federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a middle course between the needs of the russian federation and the demands of the west and curse and of course the local poland baltic states ukraine very hostile to lucas and co in butler 'd us you could say you've got some holdover from the

from the soviet era were lots of the soviet world for states has essentially been preserved and that is the reason wally he says he's been in the election this election and the previous 5 elections and it's as obvious a minute decision i wouldn't be prepared to stand down just because a minority. of got a good. one a police officer is confirmed dead and or whole kentucky during protests after a charge was filed in the fatal shooting of an african-american briana taylor a grand jury returned an indictment against only one of the 3 police officers in the case and accuses officer brett concern of wanton endangerment in taylor's death but does not charge him with actual homicide. riot police have clashed with some of the protesters and will authorities have cut

off access to downtown and set up barricades and fences around the buildings the mayor of lovell imposed a 72 hour curfew on wednesday in effect from the 9 pm to 6 30 am. now briana taylor a 26 year old black woman was fatally shot on march 13th by louisville police officers shortly after midnight police attempted to serve a search warrant at taylor's apartment to look for drugs fearing an intruder taylor's boyfriend who had a gun license fired his handgun and several officers returned fire brianna taylor was shot 8 times and died she was actually a certified emergency medical technician. if i'm on this we're joined by dr randy short a human rights and peace activist thank you for being with us here on our to international. such an extraordinary circumstance such extraordinary times in the united states there was a lot of anticipation about this case coming it has now come or the decision has

come if you will of the grand jury said 2 out of the 3 officers involved in the shooting were justified are you surprised by that you know and. and why not could you expand on that just a little bit. well there are 2 parts one is. law enforcement works for the ruling authorities you don't want to punish your own employees that implement your. agenda that's one number 2. my like brothers and sisters have not fully harness all of their power and influence to control their communities to preserve their communities and to demand and receive both justice and say over the policing in their areas and when there are atrocities or excessive use

of force or police slayings. only then is there a explosion and this is further complicated by their e. sinister forces on all sides that play on the trauma hurt and political lack of sophistication organization of a black community to get a situation like what you have now which is tragic for this beautiful young woman and also i'm very saddened for the law enforcement officer being shot and kill i remind everyone my father was a chaplain for the washington d.c. police department for 25 years i don't like seeing police or civilian shot until so the officer that has been charged the charges are actually wanton endangerment but they're not they fall short of homicide specifically do you think that the

charge goes far enough or what actually needs to happen here for justice to be served well honestly. if they see got sharks a lot of times these people go on cruises to the bombers or go to the riviera and france certain police departments people get paid money and they get money when they kill people like what used to happen so delta a certain lease there's some charge there is a new young black attorney general that has done something they've given the huge payout to be on a tailless family but what i really think needs to happen and i believe that like what happened to rodney king beating i believe that the federal government should step in and really look into this because there's a lot more going on than what any of us know. the people who. have political careers and other things have so much saloons and there are so many

ways in which anyone trying to bring justice to be ruined or destroyed for the new black attorney general i believe that it's time for the central government to send people in and to look into this for 2 reasons one it's been so much and so many people killed and shot not just and and and louisville but in chicago and new york we don't need our police undermined and at the same time if there are police who are not doing what's right and the power of the police union and other other forces who are unwilling to come down on persons and or there is an effort to ethnically purge out the west and they'll and remove blacks and take and give this property to others if this also is in play only when the federal authorities come in who are going to be more objective will we find out what has happened. so

cases i'm going to ask you to go down the rabbit hole with me just a little bit here are cases of an on armed people killed by police continue to happen in the united states. i mean what's going on here it seems like violence has been normalized to police violence specifically has been normalized in this country and when is it ok for the police to act as the judge and jury in any case. well the messy origin of a least for black b. ser they've always there were at a role as you would kill black people out of place going back a 10200 years this is normal the difference is that this is being deaf used by a satellite by cellphone people beginning to recognize that this happens all the time i need to bring to your mind that we had an 870 and 871 president grant an act of the ku klux klan act with the enforcement act this is where the federal government when after police and others who were killing and murdering

blacks by the thousands during the reconstruction era and what she's seen happen in america in the last 55 years as a civil rights act and the voting rights act changed how people control black americans as a. pariah ice a minority group. the violence that she used to get from the ku klux klan or the knights of the white committee or the maxis has been shifted to a very small percentage of persons who are in white terrorist groups who have joined law enforcement this is known by the united states government office of homeland security they have multiple reports and very little has been done to root out the racists and also ethnic terrorists sometimes they are like senile who kill and violate the authority that they have an of the color of law and relationship to

people they don't like and a huge number of people they don't like happened to be black or this is something that should happen this is something that president obama refused to do and this is something that is being pushed and the office of homeland security however the force that i would like to see. at. cerny general bar and president trump they have not done this as of yet however i'm in discussions with people who know the president they plan to roll out some justice initiatives in the coming months i hope it includes dealing with anyone who would dare use the authority of their batch of the uniform our justice system to kill brutalize great beat or whatever a person's based on their ethnic origin or whatever else and these people frankly what would solve it no disrespect would be death penalty use if you did if you're

black and you went out and kill latinos you killed white if they were to get rid of that person it would strike people if they did this this that stop it until we punish jail stop pretending that every time someone says they were afraid all i'm afraid of a black sick schildt such shoot them 50 times stop critics ending it i'm afraid it's an excuse because i'll tell you something you'll rarely find instances where black officers shoot white folks they know better the same sort of because like the somali that shot the astray and woman in minnesota minneapolis they be the police union didn't back him and police units should be examined and they should be forcibly disbanded if they don't demand that people obey the not only the united states law but international human rights laws indeed it is stime for for these

people to join the rest of humanity and see all men and women as equal creations under god with human rights this is such a volatile issue i wish we had an entire hour to devote to this conversation dr randy short human rights and peace activists very interesting to hear your thoughts and this is a crazy time in united states thank you for being with us. well. switching gears now russia and germany are continuing to trade accusations and demand answers over how election a volley fell ill the opposition activist has now been discharged from a hospital in berlin after his alleged poisoning germany's refusal to hand over evidence to russia has sparked an angry exchange between the 2. it is not the responsibility of the german authorities to conduct this to get the crime was committed in russia and that's why urgent appeal to russian side is to comment on the matter. with germany refusing to share samples or in

a valley streetman details or later russian investigator talk to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary propre clearly berlin is in no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding the russia take a minute action would get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding various pretexts to avoid sharing their data with russia we believe this is all being done to sit for the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify in the valleys illness any such claims are lice. meanwhile the doctors who have been treating the volley at the hospital in berlin say his condition is rapidly improving or he's pretty all over has more. or while the diplomatic spot between moscow in berlin seems to continue to rumble on alexina valley has improved dramatically while his condition has anyway he's been posting on social media a picture of himself in what seems to be a burden park and which he says in the post that he will continue to work with

physio therapist so it follows on from a statement earlier on wednesday in which the shot at a hospital which had been treating the valley said that he was now well enough to be discharged from the care the patient seat of house has improved to such an extent that acute medical treatment can be ended lexan him only was treated at charity for a total of $32.00 days $24.00 days to which he was in an intensive care unit physicians considered fully cover repassed basin treatment and the current condition and the long term consequences of the severe poisoning can only be assessed later well it comes as the ministry of justice here in berlin of confirmed that they've received a 2nd official request from the russian senior prosecutors for information relating to tests carried out on alexei novelli those tests that berlin says showed that he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group well we've also heard from the foreign

ministry here in berlin as well that say that they've still to receive any further information from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons did share the information from the valley tests with them waiting for their findings the foreign ministry in mesko though is far from happy with what it sees as burlington's refusal to share information and preference to let this play out in the media system society to remember what we're seeing how the west has launched a massive distant from pain surrounding the alexander family situation there is no evidence of russian involvement in what happened there can be no such evidence once again the u.s. and its european allies are consciously ask awaiting tensions with russia preferring systematic confrontation to mimic full constructive cop aeration were. when it comes to what's next for alexei novelli well a german government spokesman was asked just that on the web and state he said that he had no further information on the whereabouts of alexei in the valley or what

his plans were or idea political analysts arena rothfuss a believes that some in the west are using the novelli case as a pretext to derail the north stream to gas supply project. look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. if it had been applied not only what has died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so it's not really likely that novacek really was in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media. for me it's more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds of the anglo-saxon and the us american powers are in panic about the fact that the north st 2 pipeline is about being finished quite soon so they need to give some pretext to the public to oppose

the finishing of this major pipeline project because it would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries' economical each year politically and therefore there are great great political or geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. russian president has called for a joint global effort to develop vaccines against a covert 19 in his video speech to the un general assembly vladimir putin singled out russia's sputnik v. shot the 1st of its kind be registered and he even offered free dozens to u.n. workers. what would you do. with them but already to sure experience and continue to cooperate with all countries and international organizations this includes the distribution of the russians vaccine to other countries which has proved its reliability safety and efficiency its not sure it's ready to provide the un with

top notch assistance particularly we offer a vaccine free of charge for voluntary vaccination as un personnel and entities we have received such requests for more un colleagues and we won't remain indifferent to. the 3rd phase of the sputnik vaccine trials is underway in russia here in the capital about 40000 are expected to take part one of them is our correspondent maria often are. it's vaccination day for me and finally this morning i got a call from the clinic or rather to say i am an illegal candidate before that i have chorused took a number of tests and went through a thorough screening. now it's time for a final check with the doctor before getting the shots good afternoon. and the lifestyle is a pregnancy test that was designed to make sure it's safe for me to receive

a vaccination. right now i am ready the vaccine doses are stored in the freezer they take out each of those immediately before the injection of the many tracks and is individually allocated ever beijing has a specific code and each child has this card i'm arbitron it meanin is assigned to a particular patient. it could be either her real or back scene where she'll say the number is use you will cease to seeks. the number is correct it's. just question no you know as you know many times your work there i'm afraid to be vaccinated of course i'm not afraid to do you see this that is in a contained in the non death coronavirus lot of it was this means i can't get infected with called it rain and of course i won't be able to transmit it to anyone without us here look this is your vaccine lone from there's not much in there that

looks like a couple of drops. will it hurt no. i am about to make the injection ok i am ready. but what did it feel like like a normal shot like a mosquito bite as they usually tell my daughter. so i'll get the 2nd half action in free week. french health minister has announced a range of new containment measures against the corona virus including the complete shutdown of bars and restaurants in 2 regions country has seen case numbers spiral since the nationwide lockdown ended our paris correspondent travel devinsky as more . the red zones is the red zones where we've had active transmission or $900.00 fires and they've now been split into subcategories depending on high or high the transmission rate is in that area we'll come to that in

a moment and discuss what that means for specific departments in france but 1st of all let's have a listen to what her french health minister had to say because he had this very solemn morning the overall situation continues to deteriorate and we will exceed $100.00 cases per 100000 inhabitants in the next few hours or days our hospital system is under great strain if we fail to take measures quickly we could reach a critical threshold in some regions so no department yet is in a state of emergency but there are 2 departments that are in the next category down which is the maximum alert category these areas include must say and guadalupe now that means in those areas there will be new restrictions that come into force from saturday of this week that will mean the full closure of bars restaurants cafes except in those areas that will take place public spaces where they can't demonstrate the really strictest of hygiene measures will also be closed down as

well and we know that this is something that's going to take place initially for 2 weeks though of course that could be extended at the end of the 2 weeks if we come to the category just below that this is where enhanced measures are taking place this is cities such as paris the capital city. to lose in many other places across the country what's happening there is we will see now from monday a ban of gatherings of more than 10 individuals. we know that bars and cafes will be closed from 10 pm in the evening we know that demonstrations are large group gatherings that were allowed to be up to 5000 people not being. reduced down to 1000 people students have been told their parties have been cancelled for the forseeable future and we know that extra stricter measures can be put in place by the local authorities in those cities if they should wish to do so this all comes

after weeks of what we have seen of increasing rates of 19 and we had the latest stats on wednesday that showed that more than 13000 people in the last 24 hours again tested positive for 1000 that is the 3rd time in the last week that that number has been breached a daily record for france so new covert restrictions coming into force from saturday in some areas in a monday from others and they will be restrictions that ensure that won't please everyone. and that as for me i'll be back with headlines about 31 minutes watching our 2 international.

well come to everyone to this special. friend. troubles here for the burial of steve diamond's body. the same say only time that we may chop. community center fuel. is just happens all the time and we always sigh we must stop meeting like this most . of them. take the position you'll raise taxes and repeat after me i swear by almighty god i swear by almighty god that the evidence i should get that there were times i should give see the truth shall be the truth whole tree the whole truth and nothing about nothing but the truth.
