Of violence sweeps the city amid Anti Police Brutality protests and on rest are locked down measures. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. Valorous has entered a 10th day of protests against its president whos accused of breaking the recent election although demonstrations were initially marred by a heavy handed Police Response they are now largely peaceful and turn out opposition rallies across the country remains high. Ok ok. On monday night thousands gathered outside the detention. Center facility in the center of minsk demanding the release of Political Prisoners among them barred president ial candidates or barber rica and the husband of opposition leaders. People also gathered at another jail where many who were arrested during the 1st night of unrest are still being held. Much of the public anger and valorous is directed against the Security Forces for their brutal treatment of protesters and bystanders to voice their discontent demonstrators convened once again and the capitals Independence Square arties constantine pretty was there for us. There was a crowd of protesters here on Independence Square which is where theyve been gathering every evening there was the factory workers who went on strike this morning medics rallying outside the Health Ministry which is just off the square so its already become a tradition crowds gathering day after day like yesterday there is no special forces out here just metal barriers so everything is moving along quite peacefully people are chanting the same slogans against the president resign or seek of you. Its noticeable that there are fewer people here today than on previous days there is a sense of tiredness with no change in the situation. Meanwhile authorities and minsk accuse protesters of violent behavior this video was released by the Investigative Committee that allegedly shows a man forcing a truck driver out of his vehicle and come point according to investigators protestor seized the vehicle and used it to block a road as pressure mounting president i was on a look at chicago has made a number of public appearances however thats backfired his words were met with anger during a speech at a factory on monday among other places and on the same day thousands of workers across the country down tools demanding a rerun of the disputed election a location go says thats only possible if the constitution is amend it. We need to adopt a new constitution you must adopt it in a referendum because the previous constitution was adopted in referendum and under the new constitution we can hold new elections if you want for parliament for presidency and local authorities. Because i go has also hinted that if necessary russia may offer Security Assistance in the event that there is an external threat to belarus some foreign media have interpreted this as an indication that the kremlin is poised to intervene meanwhile Vladimir Putin and his german counterpart and merkel have spoken by phone the 2 leaders agreed that any outside intervention in belorussian affairs is unacceptable earlier though a number of e. U. Countries raise concern over possible russian meddling we discuss that with our guests. I think there is a problem now theres a preconception in the west that russia may. Be tempted to intervene in belarus by whatever means largely because were all looking back at whats happened in the brain. And i think maybe this is rather different but its not necessarily how it looks when you look at it from london people would be expecting that maybe russia will act when someone acting the European Union is playing it will you begin to roll in the case of belarus and the the double standard because of a group you say is theres a bemis here of liquid single but theyre the same time we accept the ground and we know that it is a gun free where mr morgan has more than 50000 of your poland in danger and there were one or sanctions against turkey so i see that the European Union is there in who in war with self what weve been the big. Winner author. And they are trying more or less like the raping guy and of with silk order or answer it will russian this is something unacceptable weve gone to the problems of the middle of. The my membership and people themselves i think the principle position anyone should be taking would be to see that know what governments out said billoo should be getting involved in this he should leave this the people of belarus to decide their own future but of course thats not going to happen in todays world so i think the European Union imposing and threatening sanctions and tell you russia. Is absolutely hypocritical but also it was. Again it exposes you know theres no more attempt to deal with russia as an equal because russia is caught up in this is well i mean it is support it would be cynical please no particular friend or more school they must be worried too but what the impact of all this is going to be so surely the best they reach try and discover what is going on in the minds of glad to swell up and try and open some sort of discussion between brussels and garland and more school in well more Foreign Countries have challenge lucas francos legitimacy as president rejecting the results of the election you have confirmed its drawing up sanctions against belorussian officials who are suspected of Election Fraud and violence against protesters at the same time the head of the opposition said wanted to conoco announced her willingness to leave the country although shes currently in exile in lithuania artist Daniel Hawkins takes a closer look at look at those main challenger. But the roof is at boiling point streets and squares remain packed with thousands of voices of discontent its people determined to be heard they feel the president just isnt listening they dont mind a new leader a symbol to unite them at a time of crisis for the lawyer to head off has become this symbol yet im not a politician my husband surrogate economically wanted to become the president of valorous hes now in prison for that almost unknown at the end of may the humble english teacher and interpreter to lead a quiet life until her husband is said again to cut off ski a popular blogger president ial candidate was disqualified from the president ial race and thrown in jail in an act of protest she took up the opposition husbands name and announced she would stand she said herself that she didnt want power at one point telling supporters shes more comfortable frying cutlets in her role as stay at home mom youre just as good as i want to become president in order to restore justice in this country my Campaign Program one be familiar to everyone the main point is new honest and fair elections. To an oscar was just a woman with a grudge like many he couldnt predict the crowds would turn her into a symbol misconceived our constitution is not for women our society is not mature enough to vote for a woman but us things got heated. Was ready perhaps not specifically for to cut off but for change yet despite condemning the results as false protests gaining traction she fled the country putting our family 1st they didnt know. I had probably remained the soft woman that i originally was i know that many will understand me many will condemn me and many will hate me but know this god forbid that you faced a choice that i had to face children are the most important thing that we have in life. Yet for some in the west she really is one step away from the presidency with the German Government already confirming its held talks with the exiled opposition figure now shes no longer being a mother or weak woman as she described herself days later she claims shes ready to step up to the plate as head over transitional government. Yes i am prepared to act as a national leader. Others could have been in her shoes but as opposition figures fell out of the picture taken off her was left as the last woman standing the accidental candidate with her latest announcement shes upped the ante time will tell whether she can meet the expectations of those that want her to lead that change. The specter of a 2nd wave of coronavirus is haunting a pandemic wary in europe governments across the continent are again rolling out restrictions but the public is growing increasingly fed up as peter alba reports as europe tries to tiptoe back to normality a 2nd wave of covert 19 seems set to derail those hopes here in germany daily infections passed a 3 month peak last week the Health Minister in the country says this is partly due to summer in general people coming back from holidays people attending parties and other celebrations to buy into that and its very difficult to make people stick to the rules after theyve had 2 or 3 beers at a party such events make it especially easy could virus to spread sin maybe we should stick to smaller family gatherings for a while longer germany has labeled most destinations in spain including extremely popular destination of the yorker as high risk it another blow to the already stricken spanish Tourism Industry but i think i mean i think the measures theyre taking are a bit drastic we thought we had good prospects for september but now with travel companies sending people home its good. Very difficult its good to be cautious but the situation here looks fine to me and now with no customers i dont know how long we can hold on you know back each of them on a plane has taken tough measures against crowded 19 social distancing masks as you can see we dont have outbreaks but the virus is everywhere you never know where you will be safe and where you can catch it let people travel because were here we depend on the tourism and if we dont have to or its will sink neighboring france has also been breaking records for all the wrong reasons marking a post lockdown high of over 3000 cases seen metropolises like paris and ma say expand outdoor areas with face coverings a mandatory while work spaces are also set to become musk zones so. It is a good idea but it wont be easy to make people respect the rules especially at work because they will have to spend the whole day there with a mask on vision i wear a mask to work every day and i think its normal so for me nothing will change you know of not that is a surge of cases in france and all the other countries so i know its necessary to wear a mask i wear one every day at work a spike in cases among young people is seen the Italian Government step in to shut down discos and night clubs theyll also be a reintroduction on rules insisting that face coverings be worn in outdoor public spaces at night its a pity and then we did not see this government response before my everything should have been closed sooner. I sympathise with those who own nightclubs its not easy finding the balance between the interests of entrepreneurs and Public Health political events going on there are no i dont think the club should have been reopened it all should have remained closed because the clubs are not essential and closing them prevented new cases both the number of cases in europe rises so does anger over. Covert prevention measures are you on the right. No one wants to see a return to full lockdown that places those in power in the own enviable position of having to try balance freedom with fighting code it as we try to work out which restrictions we want to be imposed on where the virus is determined to reimpose itself across the whole of europe these are all of the in. The state of emergency and the lebanese capital has been extended till september the 18th beirut is still reeling from the devastating chemical blast that tore through the city 2 weeks ago some 180 people were killed in the tragedy with over 5000 more injured while 300000 were left homeless as the explosion ripped through buildings century old structures belonging to lebanons cherished Architectural Heritage have also been damaged the owner of one ruined historic mansion lived in by his family for generations shared his loss with us. And i say my ancestors lived here 200 years ago and its been in the family ever since i lived dumpsters and when the explosion happened i was sitting here with my wife daughter and 2 grandchildren i was reading a newspaper. I. Love the stories were made of marble they dont make them like that anymore real art history when some of the building everything is computerized and heartless but even the small things inherited from my grand grandparents when the temp down to my children there. Was a lot of that my side of i never seen anything like the ford explosion we have witnessed worse lots of people nothing like this. And if they finish their investigation and arrest people they wont rebuild my home and bring back our history is the politicians who should be held responsible for what happens. When live in this country and i mean to build it again like we have national unity. Still had new york city is a sharp increase in violence as donald trump slams the citys authorities are we jumping federal assistance is also getting the backing of an influential police union ahead of elections that story and more after the break. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person of those. Who dares thinks. We fear to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only closely engaged i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. A comeback donald trump has renewed threats to sun federal agents to new york city the city is grappling with a wave of violence amid protests against Police Brutality and lockdown restrictions blames budget cuts for the spike in unrest and is backed by new yorks a Largest Police union that you could prove significant ahead of novembers election explains. New york city needs saving apparently more so than oregon and media is now comparing new york city the gotham city however there is no batman here fact theres barely anyone a wave of looting crime and riots has seen many high end stores close up their windows. 50 people were shot over the weekend and theres been a 177 percent increase in gun violence this july compared to last year now Donald Trump Blames local officials for this and says that soon washington may step in. If the new york city mckown do it we will after the city Council Agreed to cut the new York City Police departments budget by roughly 1000000000. 00 the Police Officers union decided to go rogue political road that is they decided to endorse donald trump now many times people say that a union like ours lauren foresman groups give indorsements not a new york city p. B. S. Star in the new york city p b a mr president you are in the endorsement and youve earned it indorsement im proud to give it no surprise its got anger burning in the bellies of the Democratic Party here in new york. I am speechless new york citys a beautifully diverse working class democratic city the n. Y. P. D. Says clearly showing theyre not interested in working with the people of our city this explains their continued aggression against innocent people its time for dramatic change and why p. D. Union endorsed trump im sure this is a part of the Neighborhood Outreach plan also does anyone else see a potential problem with Police Unions enforcement arms of the state with lethal weapons promoting preferred candidates for office is that just me its a political wrestle mania here in new york weve got trump versus the local officials local officials versus the police and vice versa at this point its pretty clear new york city needs some kind of caped crusader to stop the wave of crime but will that savior be in washington. R. T. New york. U. S. Intelligence agencies reportedly believe that iran paid bounties to the taliban for targeting american and Coalition Forces in afghanistan according to information obtained by c. N. N. The payments are linked to at least 6 attacks last year including a suicide bombing at a u. S. Air base in the summer dawn porter has the story if you remember not too long ago the Mainstream Media was again citing its Anonymous Sources claiming that russia was somehow paying balinese to the taliban for hits on u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan russian Intelligence Officers have offered to pay belmonte to taliban fighters who kill americans who kill americans complex story here at the heart of it though is something very simple that the european intelligence official i spoke to says that Russian Military Intelligence Officers offered money to taliban fighters in afghanistan to kill american or other Coalition Fighters if this times report is correct this means that u. S. Intelligence has concluded that Vladimir Putin. Is offering bounties for the scalps of american soldiers in afghanistan now back then no evidence was provided President Trump even said that the story wasnt credible enough for him to have been briefed on it and the kremlin denied any involvement it Spokes Person dimitri pascoe of said that it was regrettable that one of the worlds most Renowned International Media Outlets was published was publishing absolute hoaxes now fast forward to today and in the world of c. N. N. All of a sudden iran is also paying bounties to the taliban c. N. N. Has just learned that an assessment by u. S. Intelligence agencies has found that iran in addition to russia also paid bounties to taliban fighters to target u. S. And Coalition Troops in afghanistan all of this of course is according to Anonymous Sources that the channel declined to mention but who knows what will happen this time because last time a lack of evidence didnt seem to stop democrats from going berserk over the issue there is overwhelming evidence that putin has gone and hes paying significant bounties to kill american soldiers in afghanistan seems clear from what the intelligence is real i find it inexplicable in light of these very public allegations that the president hasnt come before the country and assured the American People that he will get to the bottom of whether the russians are putting a bounty on the heads of american troops now hopefully this time american officials will wait for the facts to surface before they jump to conclusions about iran but until then it just seems like stories such as this one only serve to make russia and iran out to be the bad guys in the in the eyes of the western public. We spoke to investigative journalist David Lindorff who says they are legations against iran and russia are questionable. Russia and iran have both been demonized for some time by both the media and particularly in the case of a rand by the trumpet ministration you know when the media came out with this what clearly appears to have been a bogus claim about russian intelligence paying these bounties to taliban fighters to do what they were doing already. You know trying to kill americans and drive them out of the country the evidence turned out to be completely wrong and so now we have the trumpet ministration supporting this claim that the. That its the iranians are doing the same thing i dont think the rationale is there the taliban dont need as they have explained themselves dont need anybody to pay them for them to want to attack americans and to make the work to know so costly for the us that the us pulls its troops out so. You know absent really strong evidence i think its a ludicrous claim. Possibly some world news and brief mortar shell struck near a couple of diplomatic district Tuesday Morning as afghans marked Independence Day several people were injured and no one claimed the attack at that yet a strike comes a day after the government refused to release its last 320. 00 taliban prisoners they want the insurgents to free more captured soldiers 1st. A 6. 6 magnitude earthquake shook the central philippines on tuesday buildings and roads were damaged and one person is confirmed dead search and rescue efforts are underway. And firefighters in california have their work cut out for them as a heat wave aggravates local wildfires there on 30 active fires right now on sunday the temperatures soar to over 54 degree celsius hottest day on record since 1913. Thats been our breakdown of the days headlines for this hour thanks for tuning in. Selmer solution thats right summer solution. Today were covering whether or not gold price are signaling an end to the u. S. Dollar with gas superstar alister the class of gold money dot com alistair welcome. Greetings and sell you take. Well hello hello hello and welcome back everyone to a brand new week of hawk watching and my goodness is the august news cycle started off with a bang a quite literal and deeply tragic bang for the people of lebanon over 200. 00 souls and counting of lost their lives to an Ammonium Nitrate explosion in the port of beirut in the aftermath them fallout of this tragedy the peers to be the dire results of government negligence ignored warnings and failed infrastructure. It is now being reported that the lebanese government is resigning amid all of the outrage over the blast there resigning meanwhile here in the land of milk and honey uncoded leaders of the United States of america are still deadlocked in the goshi ations negotiations over how little they should have to spend on the care and safety of u. S. Citizens in a time of pandemic and how much they can funnel to special Interest Groups and corporate bailouts instead of u. S. Citizens but thankfully over the weekend u. S. President donald trump finally took action from his underground bunker on the 9th hole of the Trump National golf club in bedminster new jersey from up on high the president signed a series of executive orders and proclamations that well according to the hill extend Unemployment Benefits suspend payroll taxes and offer praed rule of diction and Student Loan Relief well woohoo this is wonderful this is great great nums a sort of kind of really you see despite all the legitimacy a ball room full of Golf Club Members brings you many legal experts and news outlets are questioning whether trumps executive orders are actually constitutionally legal the New York Times is reporting that it was not clear what authority mr trump had to act on his own on the measures or what immediate effect if any they would have given that given that congress controls federal spending even the wall street journal got in on the game their Editorial Board chimed in writing mr trump is commandeering the power of the purse but the constitution reserves for congress. So my friends while lebanese leaders are resigning in shame for their failure to protect their citizens from tragedy u. S. Leaders are governing from golf resorts while brandishing Election Year bandaids for an empire in collapse. I think thats a good place to start watching the hawks. If you want to go on a city street you want to. See this is this joyce state. Great city this sleaze systemic deception is complete show which. Brings up joe as. Well going to watching the i robot and im well well well let me look at this brand new slate of executive orders dont really know if they really will amount to anything but lets dive in and see what theyre all about joe. Its interesting because republicans these executive orders that trump did over the weekend are getting kind of attacked from all sides even republican sides republican senator ben say its so nebraska he called them the pen and phone theory of executive lawmaking called it unconstitutional. Slop but its a pretty hefty thing to mount and i think that one of the most interesting things that you point out is that trump is taking fire from both sides on this because congress doesnt like being overstepped. So you have people on the democratic side a lot of house members who are taking trying to task but you also have a lot of republican senators who feel as though
